…Repeat = the military industrial complex is so so extended and tertiary, that almost every fucking fingerprint pushed onto the Capitalist Cash Register Ties into Killing
Okay, okay. I as just talking to North Arkansas Toothless in Wisconsin. First, he had another meeting (every three months, two months) with his probation officer. We are talking about 65 years old, and still on paper past the 36 month mark, and the fuck up that is the fucked up criminal injustice system has him on till he hits 71? He wants to leave North Arkansas and maybe hit Oregon and maybe hit Mexico and Nicaragua.

I am writing this quick one because Toothless in WIsconsin forgot one of my pieces where I highlighted this lunacy: Women in war: A pregnant soldier contemplates front-line return — Anna tries to settle in Lviv with her toddler as she prepares for the birth of her son and her eventual return to combat.
This is what a sick society is all about: prenatal kits for women in uniform with flak jackets and belly flaks while they are pregnant and fighting for NaziLandia:
More than 5,000 women are serving in the Ukrainian Army amid Russia’s ongoing invasion and occupation of their country. From special uniforms for pregnant soldiers to female toiletry kits, the Zemlyachky Foundation is tailoring military gear for Ukrainian women at war.
- A Ukrainian charity is helping to outfit the country’s pregnant female soldiers.
- Zemliachky’s co-founders told Insider the group has helped thousands of women since the war began.
- Pregnant soldiers continue to serve in non-combat roles until they’re 7 months pregnant, the founders said.

Look, I could go on and on about Ukrainians I met in Spokane, Tacoma and Seattle. Hell, I remember them as a boy in Powell River, just north of Vancouver, B.C. I don’t want to get in a fight about bias and prejudice and over-generalizations.
Just here, in UkroNaziLandia: It wasn’t until 2018 that female soldiers were finally given the same status as men — and, according to Ukraine’s Defense Ministry, women now account for close to a one-fifth of Ukraine’s armed forces.
Just before the ceremony when she assumed command of a U.S. Army Reserve company in 2012, then-Capt. Kelly Bell felt nauseated. Concerned, her fellow Soldiers checked on her.
Bell explained that she just had morning sickness, after recently learning she had become pregnant with her first daughter. She wanted to attend the Army’s pre-command course but under the Army regulations at the time, pregnant Soldiers could not attend training classes.
“My application kept getting denied because I was pregnant even though it was 100% classroom settings,” said Bell, now a lieutenant colonel in the Army Reserve. “I had a temporary profile, and I couldn’t go to the class. So, I had to wait until after she was born.”
Bell, the 7203rd Medical Support Unit commander in Hobart, Indiana has known pregnant Soldiers who have been facing challenging situations in the Army since she had her daughter nine years ago.
So, in February 2021 Bell joined together with other Soldier-parents to submit a white paper from the field that identified five obstacles that pregnant and postpartum Soldiers face in the Army. That white paper inspired a working group at the Army Headquarters, which has been comprehensively reviewing the Army’s pregnancy, postpartum, and parenthood policies over the last year.
The result of that effort is the new Parenthood, Pregnancy and Postpartum Army Directive which has updated regulations for parents and families into the 12 policy changes included in the omnibus directive. (source)
“Soldiers were oftentimes using extreme measures to try to get back to a weight and body composition that would meet the standard; whether it was crash dieting, liquid dieting, or [diet] pills,” Bell said. “And a lot of Soldiers because they were trying to lose weight so fast, [stopped] breastfeeding.”
Anna calls her conscription into the military an accident. Before 2014, she had been employed in two separate jobs as a translator and accountant in Kyiv. Then she met Milena’s father, a soldier deployed to a battalion in the Luhansk province of eastern Ukraine’s Donbas region. At the time, armed conflict had just erupted there between pro-Russian separatist groups and Ukrainian government forces. With the surge in nationalism and a partner on the front, Anna decided it was the right moment for her to join the Ukrainian fight against Russian influence. Now, she says she can’t imagine working in any other setting.
“I followed him [her ex-partner] to Lysychansk, and got used to fighting very quickly. I’ve seen everything, and now nothing can shock me,” she says. Her first deployment was in the Luhansk I battalion in Lysychansk, fighting for months at a time in the trenches. She vividly remembers her hands shaking the first time she fired her rifle at enemy troops, even though she says she had been a very good shooter during her training. “When you’re in combat, you learn to differentiate between different kinds of sounds — whether its tanks, air raids or other vehicles — in the same way you learn to identify birdsong.”
Stars and Stripes, which has been ahead of other news media on the story, reports today that “seven U.S. soldiers, including three men, have already been punished under six-week-old rules making pregnancy a violation of military law in northern Iraq.”
ABC News reports that “National Organization for Women president Terry O’Neill said the policy infringes on women’s rights”:
“How dare any government say we’re going to impose any kind of punishment on women for getting pregnant,” O’Neill said. “This is not the 1800s.”
Alley of Angels:
Donetsk residents have gathered at the Alley of Angels memorial complex on the eve of the new schoolyear to honor the memory of the children — victims of the Donbass war, said a representative of the United Russia party’s regional branch.
“The action called ‘They’ll never hear the school bell’ has been held for several years in Donetsk, ” Yelena Fesenko told the Donetsk News Agency. “In 2023, it involves activists of the Donetsk Republic and Young Republic social movements, representatives of the United Russia party and DPR Youth Parliament and schoolchildren.”
The first bell was rung at the memorial on Thursday for 228 children killed in the Donetsk People’s Republic since the beginning of Ukrainian aggression. The participants in the action honored the memory of the victims and laid flowers at the monument.
The Alley of Angels is located in the Pobeda Park in Donetsk’s Kalininsky district. It features a forged arch of iron roses with machine gun shell casings in between, as well as forged doves, as the symbol of peace. Under the arch, there is a granite slab inscribed with the names of the children killed as a result of Kiev regime aggression. City residents often bring flowers and toys to the monument. (Donetsk residents honor memory of Donbass children who will not hear first school bell on September 10)
This is what Zelensky is all about — families, mothers, fathers, grandparents, boys and girls, with USA weapons, NATO bombs.
But the flip side:
Fifty-six children were born in Donetsk last week, city mayor Alexey Kulemzin said on Monday.
“Twenty-six boys and 30 girls were born, ” Kulemzin said adding that twin boys had been born to a family in the city’s Kievsky district. He wished the parents and the newborns health, well-being and peaceful skies.
Russian scriptwriter Oleg Roy earlier told the Donetsk News Agency that the reunification of the new regions with Russia was giving back happiness to children and hope to parents.
“I saw this movie myself and I cried. Even though I shot this film,” she said. “You can’t fight against children. And, to be honest, I will never forgive these crimes against children. These [crimes] have no statute of limitations, this will never be forgotten. We will always remember this. And I will never forget those children’s eyes. This is how I see them, these children’s eyes, and they tell their stories. I see them sometimes in my dreams at night. Sometimes I get scared.”

“[The Ukrainian military] scatter these ‘petals’ everywhere,” said Elena. “You see, Ukraine is mercilessly bombarding the entire Donetsk with these munitions, which have been banned for a long time. By convention, you know? They are prohibited because these munitions harm civilians.”
“‘Petals’ have already become commonplace. You go and … Everyone looks under their feet, no one walks in the grass. If there is grass somewhere, no one dares to take a step in there, even if people walked there, it’s still not safe.”
Now that Ukraine received new cluster munitions from the US, the children of Donbass are in grave danger, according to Bobkova.
“These are strong children, these are ‘child fighters’ one can rely upon. They strictly follow the instructions (…) they are not mischievous, and they are not capricious. They are just fine with everything. Gifts? You ask: ‘What would you like?’ Do you know what they answer? ‘We have everything that we need. We would like peace. Food and clothes are here. We would like peace. We would like to play outside.’ Do you understand that they can’t go outside? They have already forgotten how to play outside, and some did not even know, because the war has been going on for nine years. Some children were born during the war. They don’t know what ‘peace’ means.” (source)
Andriy Kolesnyk, the founder of Zemliachky, a group dedicated to supporting Ukrainian women serving in the armed forces, told The Daily Beast he knows numerous pregnant women serving in the military who requested specially designed uniforms.
“For a housewife somewhere in Oregon, it would probably sound crazy that pregnant women fight on the front to defend Ukraine, but our country is constantly under attack, so even pregnant women fight against Russian invaders until they are seven months pregnant,” he said. “I currently have requests for specially designed uniforms and other important items from at least 10 pregnant soldiers. We have shortages for every single item… So far nobody has managed to actually help.”
Egyptian investigative journalist Mohammed Al-Alawi provided exclusive materials concerning the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy. According to the documents, Zelenskyy’s family has acquired a luxury villa in “the city of millioners” El Gouna. According to investigation, Olga Kiyashko, whose name matches the name of Zelenskyy’s mother-in-law, owns a VIP estate worth $5 million. Political scientist Abdulrahman Alabbassy draws a conclusion that the president’s relative purchased the estate with the humanitarian aid funds allocated to Ukraine by the West to repel Russian military aggression.
