MYSTERIOUS VIGILANTE STOPS ROBBERY

February 1, 2005
The United States Park Police advises:
WASHINGTON DC | POTOMAC PARK -- A routine armed assault on a couple returning hame from the theatre was foiled last evening by a large man who, according to witnesses, "lept off the Awakening Statue from behind with something over his face". Witnesses' descriptions of the vigilante range from a tall wrestler in a black bodysuit all the way up to the "Grim Reaper himself". Police have no leads as to the man's identity.
The three assailants who were conducting the assault were all severely beaten by the mysterious hooded figure. One assailant died on the scene. The remaining two are now hospitalized at Inova Alexandria Hospital. Doctors believe there is a chance that one will lose the use of both legs due to the horrible spinal injury he suffered at the hands of the vigilante.
Haines Point route is the flat stretch that traverses south along the the Potomac, into East Potomac Park. It is an older park across from the Waterfront, in the Potomac Park area bordering SE and SW (going towards the Tidal Basin). Be aware that when the river is running high, Haines Point will flood. One of the most vivid landmarks is a sculpture of a man emerging from the ground at the head of the park, called "Awakening."

FIREFIGHTER SUFFERS MINOR INJURIES AT HIGH RISE FIRE

January 31, 2005
WASHINGTON DC | PARK MONROE Apts -- A Box Alarm was sent to the 3300 block of 16th St., NW for the report of smoke in the building. Firefighters found heavy smoke pouring from an apartment on the eighth floor of the 10-story Park Monroe Apartments. The building was being evacuated as the working fire was sounded. Witnesses reported hearing an explosion just before the fire was reported, and Command 4 quickly called for a second alarm. A fast interior attack by fist arriving firefighters brought the bulk of the blaze under control in minutes, while aggressive firefighting kept the fire from spreading. There were heavy smoke conditions on the upper floors, and several people were held in place while the Trucks ventilated. There were no civilian injuries, but one firefighter was transported for treatment of what were described as minor injuries.

...eemed at first to unbelievable, the full story of the Survivors of AA Flight 283 is now reality. In this morning's Washington Harold White House sources confirm the existance of "godlike abilities" surpassing human laws and in many cases the very laws of reality.

CLICK

...ian Jaffe, unofficial spokesman for the Godlike, through an internet search has shown no one by that name living in the metropolitan Washington Area. Reports are confirmed that a "Brian Jaffe" son of David Jaffe of Hartford, Conneticut. The same David Jaffe who recently had a lawsuit filed then dropped against him for embessling.

... not only extremely strong having lifted an entire Metro Bus above his head, but also capable of withstanding stress and resistance far beyond human. If there are any other abiliites, they are as yet unknown.

CLICK

...rnational reaction has ranged from skepticism on the part of China to allegations from several nations that the United States has withheld a matter of global interest for political and naturalistic reasons.

CLICK

...with these later breaking stories:
Concerning two Georgetown students who say they witnessed the metro bus incident and interacted with Jaffe and his "pantheon" prior.
"Yeah, it was like - whoa - our pool balls were rollin and Jaffe's daughter or whatever picked up the table! Then they cheated us outa our rent money and now I'm on the street... damn freakos!

...iving proof that God has sent living proof of his word and established heavenly guardians for America against the forces of evil!

CLICK

...arently Easter Sunday is NOT such a special event any longer, as nearly 300 people prove that Jesus Christ is not the only human that can rise from the dead. Although he beat them out of "the tomb" by well over three years, we're willing to bet he couldn't lift a Greyhound bus!

CLICK

...although little has been said on the issue so far, clearly these individuals give America an unfair strategic advantage typical of its covert activities in the past. Now quite literally America is a super power, that are only classified as BMDs (Beings of Mass Destruction).

CLICK

ttom line is that in these short days following Jaffie's announcement to the world all we have is the Georgetown Internet footage. The White House has confirmed the story but without producing an inch of proof. Until that happens the world most consider the announcement unfounded.
