Washington (AP) -- Across the world today, people woke up to massive space-ships floating above Earth’s major cities. In a press conference, President Christie has announced that all world governments have received a message from the aliens. “We have been transmitted a list of demands from the alien commander. It demands the unconditional surrender of all governments, and the disarmament of all national armed forces. The alien administration has also demanded an annual tribute totalling about 95% of Earth’s GDP.” As proof of their capabilities, the aliens have destroyed, unprovoked, the cities of Frankfurt, Shanghai, Denver, and Lagos. All that remains is rubble. The President also elaborated on the world’s response to the extraterrestrial threat. “Most nations have agreed to a unified military command structure headed by representatives from the United States, Great Britain, China, Russia, Japan, France, and Germany. I assure you that after this crisis has been resolved, the sovereignty of our nation shall not be in peril.” The President then had the Secretary Homeland Security expand on the domestic situation. “The United States is now in a state of martial law. Elections shall be suspended for the foreseeable future. Every able-bodied citizen aged 18-50 shall report to the nearest Military Administration Post to receive information on their wartime assignment. Our economy is being converted to prepare for total war.” Finally, the President ended the news conference saying, “We shall fight to the last man to defend our freedom. Sacrifices will have to be made, but the alternative is a millenia of slavery to an extraterrestrial overlord. May God bless our struggle, and may He bless the United States of America.” Quoted on a condition of anonymity, a senior Pentagon official has stated that the World Military Council has developed an “extensive” military plan to drive the invaders from the planet. Further questioning revealed that “weapons of mass destruction have not been ruled out as viable options
The exact nature and origin of the invaders has not been established. Their craft are large require “significant technical advancements from our current state of technology”, according to California Institute of Technology physicist Sheldon Cooper. “However,” he continued, “There is no indication that our current technical expertise is not sufficient to ultimately win the war, even if we ultimately have to rely on terrestrial pathogens to defeat them. Furthermore, it is highly unlikely that they (the invaders) will have access to reinforcements any time soon. We could beat them in a war of attrition, although it should be noted that any strategy will involve the loss of a large number of civilian lives.” When asked if he had been approached by the US government to develop capabilities to defend against the invasion, Cooper replied “I am not at liberty to go into detail, but we have a number of projects that look very interesting”.
The Associated Press will attempt to offer the most current information available about the conflict; however, if conditions on the ground are not found to be conducive to effective newsgathering, then the organization may have to cease operations.
