I just want to let all my regular readers know that I've recently,
with the help of my activist mother,
donated an associate of mine in the Ukraine a couple hundred US dollars.
This is a fellow who goes by what I can only name with the code name 5904, who released some of my clip and carbine tracks in Ukraine. This guy is a badass number one champion sound always has been.
The track that he chose to release is called Satta, and features the lyrics "there is a land far far away, where there's no night there's only day, look into the book of life and you'll see that there's a land far far away."
So as an Evangelical who believes in proselytizing for my beliefs as a Christian, when the war broke out in the Ukraine I knew this guy was a real super trooper.
I'm going to at the end of this message copy and paste some of the correspondence I've had with him recently....
We take our freedoms for granted on some level here in America. But we also take a lot of more pragmatic things for granted. I.E. heat and running water.
My mother is an activist for the left always has been as part of her family's tradition in many respects. She is a great super souled individual.
She helped me on a number of my documentary videos that I did, where I'd show up to a protest with a professional camera furnished by my mother. So just goes to show even though we're on diametric opposites ideologically and morally, it just shows that we can work together to document the history making era that we find ourselves in as a species in the present age.
I respect my mother's positions philosophically as a left winger on some issues, although not in terms of ethics.
For example she wrote a paper, an academic paper, on the dangers nuclear power and nuclear power plants pose in the north west Pacific.
Further her most recent protest - which as a conservative Republican I just have to cross the isle to say it is totally the right kind of protest for people in America to do - she protested against a building development in our hometown, on the basis that it would interfere with a bald eagle's nest.
Unfortunately we weren't able to stop the development from building over a bald eagles nest. However she was able to get some concessions from the developers in that they had to pay extra money to develop in that spot as it's a designated natural park or whatever.
The American eagle, the bald eagle...
It's a sacred thing.
So my mother is up north in the land of snow n*****s, and doing a documentary film with her husband Mike O'Connell, on sled dog racing.
I told her it's much like the Gonzo journalist Hunter S Thompson showing up for a motorcycle race in Nevada or whatever.
Anyways she was able to help me contribute, to this fellow 5904, $200.
That's the kind of forward thinking that we do when we unite as Americans.
Unite on the basis of what we have in common,
And help any way we can.
If you would like to help donate to my pro Ukrainian cause, there's a safe and effective way to donate at www.badmantime.com ...
And you can cop the newest clip and carbine mix!
Below are some of the quotes from my connection in Kiyv, simply as an example of the realities of war..
... They let me out because I needed an operation.
I'm sitting in a bomb shelter, there's no power water or heating at home.
They only give me 3 hours of power per day, but no water. It's impossible to work because they're hunting for people for mobilization.
You only see women and children on the streets. I go out to get water from the pump in complete darkness.
On the weekends, the city is attacked at night by hundreds of drones and missiles.
Thank you for remembering me. And very grateful for your help. I'm hiding at home from forced mobilization. There's no electricity, water or heat at home.
Respect
