[whiskeyswifty]

How many houses does Taylor own?

Idk dude I only know the obvious ones. 4 dwellings of some kind (houses/apartments) that she has made public. but would not surprise me if she owned more property for tax or investment purposes. A likely thing for rich people to do!

Corvette crashes off the coast of Vreni Island!

Sphyrna-class corvette 'hijacked' CorSec intervention prevents tragedy. The corvette now resides along the beautiful Vreni Island beach (that has reportedly lowered property values).

Originally en route to Corellia carrying a diplomatic Envoy the Resolute broadcasted a distress signal late yesterday evening. CorSec has informed us they had dispatched a team to investigate, lead by Blue Sector Lieutenant Kora Starhunter.

Much of the report detailing the events on-board have not yet been declassified, however an internal source inside the blue sector department has alleged that it was a small group of Imperial Remnants, supposedly one of them having survived the ordeal.

Later that evening many of the townsfolk of Vrenii Island reported sighting the incoming atmospheric disturbance, windows were smashed from the loud sounds of the crashing cruiser we asked a local who said "I was just sitting on my balcony, cracked a cold beer and realized I may just die, thankfully the Jedi handled the situation perfectly and escorted us out of the projected crash area before doing that space magic they're known for and what looked like redirecting the crash"

Another citizen from one of the beach front properties who did not receive notice of the evacuation said "I was enjoying my time at the beach, you know Vreni has the best beach in this system.. when we suddenly saw the ship landing.. it was loud, and it splashed water all over the place.. then we saw those coming out of it.. we thought they were filming a holomovie or something.. it was amazing

Upon contacting the Jedi Temple, we met with Taaj Ousan, one of the masters on the council who said "We received a request to aid, as the ship was coming fast towards the city. With the aid of the force, we manage to direct the ship towards the beach.. and prevent it from crashing in the middle of the city"

Corsec Lieutenant Starhunter who lead the operation had this to say when contacted by our media department "The Investigation is currently ongoing, as such we cannot disclose much information apart from the fact clean up crews are working in partnership with the Republic, let's all just be thankful there was no further loss of life in this ordeal, and let's hope that the lasting environmental impact on the coastline is low" 

The Republic has dispatched a small team along with equipment to aide in the salvage operations, as they feel partly responsible.

Confederation declares the fuel crisis to be over.

   Today, in a historic act of government action, Corfed Councilor, Victoria Scatter, signs grants to end the fuel crisis. Victoria Scatter, also running in the Prime Minister Election, decides to not await the outcome of the votes, but instead, takes action and ends the fuel crisis by signing grants offered to the Corellian Government by the Vasch Foundation. Her words to the people : "On this day, this grant will help our planet finally take steps to end this fuel crisis." - Victoria Scatter - Corfed

   The documents, written up by the Corellian Government, were signed by Victoria Scatter, and the newly appointed Minister of Trade, Azaria Hex. A promise to the people was made that the effects of these grants would be noticed Immediately upon it taking effect. As well, in the words of Miss Scatter, ""I would like to remind the citizens of the five planets that this is a grant, so this doesn't take money away from the government. There will be no rise in taxes on our citizens." How the grant will end the crisis remains to be seen, but if the promises are kept, we can expect great things.

   What does this mean to the people, business, and outside trade? Lower fuel costs and no new taxes! It doesn't matter what language you speak, those words are like song to the ears.

Sith complex assaulted by unknown attackers!

CorSec is investigating reports that the Sith compound in the Blue Sector was attacked by an unknown party.  All they would tell us at this time is that the unknown party was well funded and that they believe they are not native to Corellia.

Some concerns have spread that this unknown party could launch attacks against other organizations in the area.

CorSec and the Jedi deal a major blow to the Scourge..

[JuJu : Red Circle Gang Leader]

Jedi and CorSec forces managed to engage the Red Circle Gang on Rhen Var and capture their leader “JuJu”.   The Red Circle Gang was one of several who make up the Scourge.  It is said that the Gang has disbanded as result.

[ Nenthus Rordul : Bofa Treat Gang Leader ]

CorSec could not disclose anything they may have learned from JuJu but did inform us he was killed in prison when Bofa Treat Gang Boss Nenthus Rordul snapped his neck.  The Bofa Treat Gang is also a member of the Scourge so perhaps there was some fallout..  Rordul is expected to be sentenced soon, this latest action adding to a long list of offenses.

Propaganda spreading in the Blue Sector.. 

Someone has been circulating a pamphlet which takes shots at many including CorSec, the Mandalorians and others.. it reads..

CORSEC ROADBLOCKS ARE SCAM BLOCKS!?

CorSec have been placing checkpoints up throughout Blue Sector without so much as a word! Holding citizens and individuals at ransom for these supposed "safe checks". Since when has marshal law come to Blue Sector? Reports claim they are just 'doing there job' but a recent attack against the Hyperdrive suggests otherwise. As a group of armed individuals terrorized the much loved bar. Could marshal law be brought to blue sector. Are Corsec truly corrupt? Are rights being thrown?

MANDALORIAN THUGS!

It has been widely reported Mandalorian Thugs have been attacking businesses and individuals throughout blue sector! Attacking and abusing civilians. Everywhere from Treasure Row to the Shipping Yards. Mandalorians have been bringing dishonesty and disrespect to their own culture. When a man hides behind a mask, is he a friend or foe? Who knows! But the Government are doing very little to tackle these lowlifes and it is rumored Corsec is supporting the barbarians.

CRIME ON THE RISE!

Blue Sector has been hit hard with crime over the past months. Businesses have been extorted and driven out of the sector. Yet this is nothing new, what is new is that several election candidates have apparent links to these groups. Yes! the same candidates of the election whom want to then run for further power! Trust none of them.

THE HUTT MONSTER!

Why is nobody talking about this savage!? Since the article a few months ago, missing persons have increased by thirty percent in blue sector in particular working girls. Yet this story was quietly swept under the rug! Why? Rumors have speculated of a monster dwelling in the sewers but again the government chose to deny it. Another Hutt is cruel intentions!

VRENI BEACH

And who are we to judge! Us! Petty civilians far from the glorious beach and luxury of Vreni where the high and mighty dwell in riches. Where the Jedi stay away from the real issues that we suffer. Cuddled up in their temples and sparkling streets as we suffer! Where are the Jedi in these times? Where is the justice we deserve?

WHEN WILL IT END? CORRUPTION? VIOLENCE? SAVAGERY? AUSTERITY? SOON BLUE SECTOR WILL BE RED SECTOR! TAKE THE FIGHT TO THE REAL ENEMY JOIN THE RESISTANCE BROTHERS!

The Most Innovative Things Happening With outdoor bubble machine

Her collection of designer handbags rivaled the shoe fetish of Imelda Marcos. Her jewelry was so ostentatious that one piece, a $27.3 million pink diamond pendant and necklace, earned a mention in a United States Department of Justice complaint on rampant corruption in Malaysia.

On Thursday, Rosmah Mansor, the wife of Najib Razak, the disgraced former Malaysian prime minister, was charged with 17 counts of money laundering and tax evasion. She was arrested Wednesday at the headquarters of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission in Putrajaya, Malaysia’s administrative capital.

She had already appeared three times before anticorruption investigators, answering questions on topics including more than $240,000 worth of anti-aging supplements that are believed to have been purchased with misappropriated government funds.

Like her blower machine husband, who faces multiple counts of money laundering, breach of trust, corruption and abuse of power, Ms. Rosmah, 66, pleaded not guilty.

During his nine years in power from 2009 to 2018, Mr. Najib acquired a reputation as the paragon of power unchecked. American investigators accuse Mr. Najib of having diverted $731 million from the state investment fund 1Malaysia Development Berhad, known as 1MDB, into his personal bank account. At least $4.5 billion in 1MDB money was stolen then laundered through American financial institutions, the United States Department of Justice says.

To cover up the financial malfeasance, Mr. Najib and his political machine resorted to censorship, cash handouts and even physical violence, his critics say.

Throughout Mr. Najib’s tenure, a bejeweled Ms. Rosmah stood by his side, and her fondness for luxury accouterments earned the scorn of the Malaysian public. Ms. Rosmah, who was the daughter of teachers, was cast as a kind of Lady Macbeth who led her husband, the scion of one of Malaysia’s most prominent political families, astray.

After Mr. Najib’s party lost national elections in May, bringing the opposition to power for the first time ever in Malaysian history, the police conducted raids on residences associated with Mr. Najib and Ms. Rosmah. Investigators were pictured loading police trucks with hundreds of orange-hued boxes believed to contain Hermès Birkin handbags, which can cost up to $300,000.

The Malaysian police said that the riches seized in the raids on six different properties were worth as much as $273 million. Found among the loot were 567 handbags, 423 watches, 14 tiaras and so much cash that it took three days to count it all.

In its inquiry that was released last year, the United States Department of Justice said that Ms. Rosmah’s $23 million, 22-carat pink diamond, which was set in a $4.3 million necklace, was purchased with money stolen from 1MDB.

At the luxury Hotel Bel-Air in Los Angeles in 2014, Ms. Rosmah chose 27 gold necklaces and bangles from a bespoke jeweler that were later paid for through $1.3 million in misappropriated funds, according to the Justice Department complaint.

Ms. Rosmah’s son from her first marriage, Riza Aziz, has been summoned repeatedly to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission. A financier friend of Mr. Riza, Jho Low, is believed to have helped arrange the illegal siphoning of 1MDB money, according to the Malaysian authorities. In August, Mr. Low was charged in absentia with eight counts of money laundering. He has denied the charges.

American investigators accuse Mr. Low, who is the subject of an arrest warrant and is believed to be in hiding overseas, of having used 1MDB funds to purchase a $250 million yacht complete with a helicopter landing pad and private movie theater.

Ms. Rosmah has said that her position necessitated a certain amount of glamour.

“As a woman and as the wife of a leader, I have to look presentable, neat and keep up my appearance,” Ms. Rosmah was quoted as saying in a 2013 authorized biography. “It would be embarrassing for the people when other countries tease the P.M.’s wife for being unkempt.”

Another biography published last year, which featured a cartoon of Ms. Rosmah dispensing wisdom with Mr. Najib in comic-strip bubbles, gave further advice.

“The outside world will be watching us closely so pay attention to your manners and attitude,” the cartoon read, “don’t be arrogant and abuse your status.”
