OSTMARK REDISCOVERS ITS PAST
We cannot deny our national identity.

By Heinrich Obenaus

WIEN (Ostmark) - "The Von Wien dynasty, the monarchy, and their rule is part of our traditions" Otto von Koenigstad, an Ostmarkian historian, said in a study on the Koenigreich Ostermark (Kingdom of Ostmark) not long ago. "People cannot choose their national traditions," he added. "They must acknowledge them and then take a stand." In this spirit of searching for national roots and of facing up to historical realities, Ostmarkians have begun to rediscover the military and cultural traditions of the Kingdom of Ostmark, the state that forged Ostmarkian unity and put its stamp on Ostmark's rise for the last six centuries.

For years after the 1959 revolution, liberal governments had placed a taboo on all things related to the monarchy. "Everywhere in Ostmark a growing search for identity is becoming apparent and a growing need to find the historical roots for our present national circumstances," said People's Chancellor Horst Grasser. He said that fears of a revival of the monarchy were without foundation. "The Kingdom of Ostmark as a political factor is far enough behind us to allow us to take stock and draw a balance." he said.

In the post-1959 revolution period, the rejection of that past has led many Ostmarkians to blot out their own history and all that went with it. The shift toward broadening the historic outlook, documented in Mr von Koenigstadt's recent historical biography of Ludwig III, the early 20th century Ostmarkian King, appears aimed at answering the need for more national identification by its own citizens. The younger generation of Ostmarkians, not burdened by hatred for the monarchy, also found itself in an acute identity crisis, a lack of firm ground that resulted in violent generation conflicts in the past deecades. Today many Ostmarkians feel they need to know where they came from and why things stood as they did.

WIEN (Ostmark) - The heroic struggle of the Volksrepublik Ostmark, characterized by great victory and epochal changes and the strong spirit of today’s National-Syndicalist Ostmark advancing with pride toward a bright future in the face of all tempests of history, are associated with the patriotic devotion of the Ostmarkian workers.

The workers of the People's Republic of Ostmark are ardent patriots strong in ideology and faith and fighters of self-reliance who invariably take the path of independence and National-Syndicalism, always following the National-Syndikalistische Volkspartei in the ordinary and stormy days. Self-reliance is just the traditional fighting spirit of the workers and an ever-victorious treasured sword for building a powerful National-Syndicalist nation.

The events of great significance in the history of the nation and the eye-opening successes in all sectors of National-Syndicalist construction like economy and culture witnessed in the course of foiling the moves of the hostile forces to stamp out the People’s Republic of Ostmark's rights to sovereignty, existence and development clearly proved how strong the Ostmarkian workers’ spirit of self-reliance and self-development is. Self-reliance is just the mettle and working manner peculiar to the workers of Ostmark.

Unshakable is the will of the workers to strenuously advance along the road of National-Syndicalism under the guidance of the National-Syndicalist People's Party and Weiser Fuhrer Horst Grasser, holding higher the banner of independence.

WILHELMSTADT (Ostmark) - In recent months public retirement homes in the provinces of the Volksrepublik Ostmark were newly built or reconstructed as demanded by the times, so as to provide the elderly with better living conditions and environment, thanks to the state’s policy of respecting the elderly and looking after their life.

The Koenig Ludwig Retirement Home was built in the picturesque Wilhelmstadt mountainous municipality. A two-storeyed, square building with red tiled-roof, the home has 32 bedrooms, and rooms for recreation, video-watching, physical exercise and others. They are well furnished for the old people to enjoy cultural and leisure activities as they like.

The home has also welfare service facilities, including dining hall, medical treatment room, bathrooms, barber’s, beauty salon and laundry, for the convenience of the dwellers. At present, there are over 100 old people, who lead a happy life in the twilight of their years. They take in sufficient nutrition, and have moderate labour, amusement and exercises, in accordance with their health conditions, hobbies and tastes.

Management officials and employees of the Koenig Ludwig Retirement Home take care of them in every aspect of their life like their family members. Officials of the National-Syndikalistische Volkspartei and power organs, enterprises, and organizations, as well as residents and schoolchildren in the municipality frequent the home, taking with them various goods they prepared with sincerity. When they get together like one family, they sing loudly

"Our society is founded on the Volksgemeinschaft principle, the People's Community. The People's Community principle is the collective effort of the citizens and the workers of the Volksrepublik Ostmark to guarantee the weakest members of our society, such as old people, the disabled and the sick, honourable living conditions in accordance with the values of the National-Syndicalist People's Party. In Ostmark, we take care of our elders as if they were our own parents" said Weiser Fuhrer Horst Grasser during an unexpected visit at Wilhelmstadt's retirement home.

WEISER FUHRER "CONCERNED" OVER BOURGOGNE ESCALATIONS
"Cooperation and mutual understanding are fundamental for a future of peace" said the People's Chancellor.

By Heinrich Obenaus

WIEN (Ostmark) - Wise Leader Horst Grasser has expressed concern about the recent escalation in Bourgogne, calling for "broader cooperation and mutual understanding between all parties to ensure a future of peace and prosperity" said the Volkskanzler during a press conference at the Palast der Volksrepublik. "Many factors are to be taken into account while analyzing the present situation in Bourgogne. Rump states born from the ashes of a fallen regional power are often at odds, ideologically, geographically and politically. But what choice are they presented? It is either cooperation and mutual understanding, and respect, or war. And what will war lead to? Death, suffering, poverty, famine. Wars are an instrument of the past, they are morally unacceptable and unjustified. Cooperation is necessary and mandatory among the civilized nations of Gallia-Germania." he said.

When asked if Ostmark will take an official position on the issue, Volkskanzler Grasser firmly denied any involvement of the Volksrepublik Ostmark "Bourgogne is a Gallian issue. It is up to the governments of Neustria, the Burgundian People's Republic and the Kingdom of Elben to sit down togheter and discuss concerns, positions and opinions. While we do sympathize with the Burgundian People's Republic and we congratulate them for their successful revolution, pragmatism becomes necessary as to avoid a potential military escalation in a region that has seen enough violence and suffering" said the Wise leader "Neustria and Elben should listen to the concerns and the legitimate requests of the workers of People's Bourgogne, understand them, and understand why the sovereign working classes have established a Workers' and Farmers' state, thus rejecting the capitalist system previously in place" he continued "Meanwhile, the political class of the Burgundian People's Republic should listen to the concernsof Neustria and Elben, and on this ground they should reach an agreement to settle their differences, for the sole purpose of guaranteeing peace and stability. The prosperity and well being of the workers and their families must be the priority for all the parties involved." conclude the People's Chancellor.

THE PEOPLE-FIRST PRINCIPLE IS A FUNDAMENTAL VALUE OF OUR SOCIETY
We will triumph over pain and sorrow.

You must be registered for see images

By Heinrich Obenaus

WIEN (Ostmark) - The National-Syndikalistische Volkspartei set it as the main principle of state building and activities to thoroughly apply the people-first principle from an urgent demand of the developing revolution.

To thoroughly apply the people-first principle is the fundamental requirement for uniting the Partei, the State and the People more closely as one community sharing the destiny and it is the inevitable demand for accelerating the National-Syndicalist construction by giving full impetus to the people’s revolutionary enthusiasm and creative strength.

It is also an important demand for decisively rooting out all kinds of dishonest practices encroaching on the people’s interests among officials. For the National-Syndicalist People's Party and the State, it comes to be the revolutionary climate prevailing throughout the Party and the social customs to make selfless, devoted efforts for the good of the people.

It is the modus operandi of our Party and State to relentlessly work on removing the pain of people and alleviate their suffering. We guarantee the safety and well being of the citizens and workers of the People's Republic of Ostmark. This is our supreme duty.

The National-Syndicalist People's Party make selfless, devoted efforts for the good of the people and the people entrust their destiny and future to the Party and Weiser Fuhrer Horst Grasser and devotedly uphold them. This is the real picture of the People's Republic of Ostmark in which the people-first principle is embodied.

Thanks to the heroic struggle of an entire people who will remove a mountain and fill the sea if it is planned and determined by the Partei, the values and ideals of the Volksrepublik Ostmark will triumph over pain and sorrow.

SUDINSEL (Ostmark) - An estimated 10 billion barrels in oil reserves have been found off the coast of the archipelago of Sudinsel, in the homonymous autonomous province, where the Long Sea meets the Hamar Sea, with the first production planned within three-four months, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources told reporters this morning.

The Ministry said that Elektrizitätswerk, Ostmark's state-owned energy company, in cooperation with technicians and experts from the Serazinist Republic of Serenierre, has identified 9 prospects near the southern archipelago “The largest of these, the Sudinsel Prospect in 480 meters depth, and most likely reserves in the event of success are estimated to be greater than eight billion barrels. We expect to find oil rather than gas,” a spokesperson said, adding that first production could begin as early as September-October 2019.

Ostmark and its southern archipelago, which according to geologists stands on the top of an underwater mountain once part of the Himyari continent, has long been seen as a potential new source of oil, hampered by a lack of exploration to determine the extent of its reserves.

The bulk of the personell of the NSV will consist of volunteers who will donate up to 4 hours on a weekly basis and guarantee the most basic welfare services for the population, such as the delivery of medicines and aid packages for low-income families and home care for elderly people.

WE WILL ALWAYS SUPPORT OUR WISE LEADER
Horst Grasser will guide us to a future of peace, progress and social justice.

You must be registered for see images

By Heinrich Obenaus

WIEN (Ostmark) - Today, the Volksrepublik Ostmark is constantly holding fast to the ideals of proletarian solidarity and equality in making vigorous efforts to bring forward the bright future of National-Syndicalism, the ideal of the people, in reliance upon their strength.

Wise Leader Horst Grasser makes devoted efforts to develop the People's Republic of Ostmark into a genuine country of people where they are the masters of everything and everything serves them. Regarding the idea of believing in the people as in heaven as the fundamentals of nation-building and the starting point of working out all lines and policies, he ensures that the most people-oriented National-Syndicalist policies come into effect, and never allows such privileges of practices as infringing upon the people’s interests and abusing the power invested by the people while lording it over them.

Free education, free medical care, provision of housing free of charge, systems for nursing and upbringing of children, and accommodation at health resorts and holiday homes at State expense, etc., are just a part of the genuinely National-Syndicalist policies of the People's Republic of Ostmark.

As the Weiser Fuhrer guides the struggle to maintain the revolutionary and popular character of the country and gives full play to the advantages of National-Syndicalism, the National-Syndicalist People's Party performs its sacred mission as the representative of the people’s right to independence, the organizer of their creative abilities and activities, the administrator responsible for their livelihood and the protector of their interests.

The National-Syndicalist People's Party takes responsibility for the people’s destiny and looks after them, sparing nothing for their happiness. It keeps pushing forward the gigantic undertakings to give top and absolute priority to the people’s demands and interests in all spheres of State and social life and promote their well being.

It formulated the essence of Grasserism, the guiding idea of the revolution, as the people-first principle and put it forward as its most important task to apply the National-Syndicalist outlook on the people, a popular philosophy, in State activities, in order to carry forward the ennobling ideas and intentions of Weiser Fuhrer Horst Grasser who devotes his life to defend the people and their interests.

Today, the slogan “No one gets left behind!” is seen everywhere in the Volksrepublik Ostmark. It represents the Wise Leader’s idea on State building and the government’s people-first principle. The government makes selfless, devoted efforts for the good of the people and the latter display their loyalty to the former, entirely entrusting their destiny and future to it. This is the true appearance of the People's Republic of Ostmark that embodies the values and the principles of the National-Syndicalist People's Party.

WIEN (Ostmark) - The People's Navy decommissioned three indigenously built submarines in separate ceremonies this morning. The three vessels provided over 30 years of service for the Volksmarine. U-Boot 39, the indigenously-built Hai-Class submarine, was paid off in Wien's harbor. The decommissioning ceremony was attended by officers and men of the People's Navy, both serving and retired, who had served onboard the ship in the past.

The Hai-Class submarines vere expected to be replaced by new vessels built by Ostmarkische Metallwaren in cooperation with Ostmarkische Motoren Werke but the agreement fell through earlier this year according to reports which cited high costs and compliance issues as major factors in the cancellation of the deal.

During the ceremony, Weiser Fuhrer Horst Grasser paid homage to the men and women who served onboard the vessels in the past, and thanked them for their service in defense of the sovereignty and the territorial integrity of the People's Republic of Ostmark. The Volkskanzler stated the decommissioning of the vessels will result in savings estimated at almost 10 billion OstMarks, which will be reinvested in public infrastructures such as public parks, kindergartens, aswell as an increase in funding for the National-Syndicalist People's Welfare organization.

The Wise Leader also announced a new Rural Development Plan specifically studied to improve the quality and avaliability of public services (fire and rescue, law enforcement, education and health amongst others) in the mountainous municipalities of Ludwigstadt am See, Wilhelmstadt and Koenigstadt "The National-Syndikalistische Volkspartei firmly believes in the People-First principle, and aknowleding the optimal defensive capabilities of the People's Defense Force we decided to redirect funds towards policies aimed at improving the quality of life of the workers and their families. People of Ostmark, the days of sorrow are over." said the People's Chancellor during one of the ceremonies.
