Burned out

Clark spent the rest of the day with Lana and Laura having the time of his life. He was having such a good time that he forgot all about the whole Luthors affair. He was reminded though sometime in the afternoon by a phone call from Lionel.

They arranged to meet somewhere quiet and Lionel provided him with the necessary documents that proved Lex's involvement in the weapon test that took place in Nevada, as well as other experiments and tests, with the participation of shadow departments of the government.

After collecting all the necessary documents, Clark went to Metropolis to the Daily Planet and spent the rest of the night, till the early hours of the morning, writing the expose on Lex, with the help of Lois and Perry, who were absolutely thrilled with the amount of dirt they had on Lex and his side projects.

After he had finished Clark contacted Lionel and in turn he gave Perry the directions on how he should go about it. Of course Lionel demanded that his participation, as well as the fact that he was alive, was kept quiet.

Clark returned to Smallville that morning, to his new found family, where they spent another day together in laughter and happiness.

A few hours ago we got to be witnesses of a spectacular event. At approximately 08:00 (US Central time) a big cloud of unidentified substance started spreading in the Nevada desert. A tourist who was passing by the area managed to film what followed. Superman was quickly at the scene and he managed to contain it and then dissipate the cloud. But apparently it cost him. As you see here, Superman then fell to the ground and no one's sure what happened to him. There have been unsubstantiated reports of Superman sightings throughout the day, but none have been confirmed.

As to the big question of what caused that cloud to appear, according to our sources, it was caused by a new bio-weapon test. The CIA who were first on the scene and sealed off the entire area, refused to make any comments. An ex CIA agent though, that for obvious reasons wants to remain anonymous, told us earlier in the afternoon, that it was indeed a bio weapon test that was sanctioned by the ministry of Defense and carried out by Luthorcorp.

Of course these allegations were immediately refuted by Luthorcorp's spokesperson Mr. Josh Featherstone who said "Luthorcorp never tested and will not ever test bio chemical weapons on American soil." The defense ministry also issued a press statement saying: "The CIA and NSA are still looking into what happened. We still don't know for sure what caused that cloud, but we can safely say that it was NOT caused by any activity of this Department."

Most US media were quick to try to bury the event, as it is commonly known that they are of Luthorcorp's interests, but we'll try to keep you posted on this story.

After this morning's article in the Daily Planet by Lois Lane, debate has heated up as to who was behind yesterday's events. It is now widely accepted that the cloud was indeed caused by a weapon's test, but what that was and who carried it out are still unknown. We still haven't had any official confirmation, as the policy of "no comment", is used quite widely today, by both government officials and Luthorcorp.

In her article Mrs. Lane claimed that officials from the defense department were indeed involved, directly or indirectly, with this test and as well as another major business man. This has confused many as it was speculated that Luthorcorp was involved and Lane's use of words were interpreted by the majority of the US media to mean that Luthorcorp must not be involved after all and some other less prolific businessman than Lex Luthor is in to this.

Speculations then where thrown about and businessmen such as William Gaets, and Ruper Merdock were mentioned as financers of these potentially catastrophic tests.

Lane promised that tomorrow's paper would feature an expose on the whole deal. We will keep you posted…

Yesterday

BVC News at 20:00

After the shocking revelations on today's article in the Daily Planet by Clark Kent, the State Department issued the following statement: "We were appalled by today's revelation by Mr. Kent. We would like to say, that we were not aware that the officials named in Mr. Kent's article were involved in such activities with Mr. Luthor and measures will immediately be taken. Of course they will al be removed from their position. This administration will not tolerate such behavior and such activities by anyone not even a businessman like Lex Luthor. We categorically oppose any future endeavors such as this."

It is believed that the officials that were named will be used of course as sacrificial lambs to appease the public opinion that is threatening to turn against the administration.

Following today's revelation the stock-market suffered a similar breakdown to 1999s minor breakdown.

The Luthorcorp stock of course took the brunt of this fall, tumbling a whopping 40, after which all activity was somehow blocked stopping the further decrease of the stock. How or who authorized the block is yet to be revealed. One thing is for sure though, whoever blocked the activities of the stock surely saved Luthorcorp, as with the way the stock was decreasing, the experts say it would have surely meant financial destruction for Lex Luthor. There has yet to be any official statement from Luthorcorp and of course Mr. Luthor himself was nowhere to be found. It remains to be seen what will happen from now on, as it is rumored that after what happened, there are those in the administration who are pushing the President to severe all ties with the ambiguous business man and his company.

This was the worst blow that Luthorcorp and Mr. Luthor himself have suffered since, Lex Luthor took over the company from his father.

Today

Clark moved his stuff the previous night, in Lana's house, as his own house was now surrounded by reporters. He wanted to avoid them at all costs and although he didn't want to bring this trouble over Lana and Laura, it was Lana who insisted that he should come at her place and try to lay low. However she found it hilarious that Clark Kent one of the world's top reporters was now hiding from and avoiding his fellow reporters.

There had been a couple of reporters who had come by Lana's house (who obviously did some digging up about who she was) and asked her questions about Clark and whether or not they were an item currently, but she rebuffed them all saying how inappropriate it was to be asking people such questions.

The world of Business was shocked today after the revelation that Lex Luthor was no longer the CEO of Luthorcorp. From what we could gather someone who already owned a large percentage of the Luthorcorp stock, took advantage of yesterday's breakdown and they now own 43 of Luthorcorp making whoever they are, officially Luthorcorp's major shareholder. In the meeting that took place this morning in the Luthorcorp headquarters, it was announced to Lex by the board of Directors that he was being relieved from his position as CEO of the company. It is now clear that there has been a change in the head of Luthorcorp, and we will be waiting to see who the new CEO and obviously Luthorcorp's new head is.

Before all of you start feeling sorry for Lex Luthor, let's not forget that he is still one of the richest men in the world. It's just that his power was stripped away.

Umm…. Sorry… breaking news…. It seems the authorities are now looking for Mr. Luthor for questioning…. For what we don't know… we will keep you posted throughout the day…
