War Pigs
Black Sabbath
Gen'rals gathered in their masses,
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction,
Sorcerer of death's construction
In the fields the bodies burning,
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind,
Poisoning their brainwashed minds
Oh Lord yeah
Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role for the poor, yeah
Time will tell on their power minds,
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess,
Wait 'till their judgement day comes, yeah
Now in darkness world stops turning,
Ashes where the bodies burning
No more War Pigs have the power,
Hand of God has struck the hour
Day of judgement, God is calling
On their knees the war pigs crawling,
Begging mercies for their sins
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings
Oh Lord yeah
Located at Mill Pond Meadow in the outskirts of Featherstone is a different war memorial. 353 simple crosses, each representing a member of the local community who didn't return home after the First World War make for a permanent memorial. Each cross has a tree that has been planted at its side. Watching over these memorials is a huge steel War Horse.
The site provides a lovely place to visit, reflect and hope for peace.
War is useless, war is pain. Everyday innocent people dying for what, for greed of one lunatic.
This is for the people of Ukraine but also for the people of Russia who don't know exactly what happen and their sons dying in the fields of Ukraine.
We are people, we are all individuals but we are one as humankind in this universe.
STOP THE WAR!
I took this photograph in 2013, in my grandparents’ apartment in the city of Nova Kakhovka, Kherson region, South Ukranie. The city of my birth, the city of my childhood. A city I will never see again.
Usually, our parents brought my brother and me here for the summer holidays, but that time I came on my own.
The moon often looked into the window of our bedroom, keeping me awake on hot summer nights. On such nights I usually dreamed about the future, imagined it, imagined myself in 10–20 years, who I would become and what my life would be like.
Sometimes I looked at the glowing windows of the houses standing some distance away across the street and imagined what their residents were doing at that moment, who they were, whether they were happy or sad, what they were thinking and dreaming about.
What I could never have imagined was that a terrible war would break out in my country, that the home of my childhood and the cemetery with the graves of my ancestors would end up under occupation. This is quite a surreal picture for the 21st century.
In the coming days and weeks, Ukraine, and Kyiv in particular, will face intense missile and drone strikes aimed at destroying the remnants of Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, which was only barely restored with great effort after similar attacks in 2023 and 2024.
This time, the Russians will most likely go further: in addition to thermal power plants and transformer substations, they may also destroy gas storage facilities, and perhaps even damage Ukrainian nuclear power plants, plunging Ukraine back into the 19th century (or worse).
Thus, I may once again disappear for a long time, as I will have neither electricity nor Internet (or will be forced to strictly ration the charge of my phone or the occasionally available Internet). One can only hope for a warm winter (the previous ones were relatively mild) and for some kind of miracle that will suddenly happen and save Ukraine from complete collapse, destruction, and disintegration.
I don’t believe in miracles; my mood is now consistently pessimistic and depressive, both regarding the fate of the Ukrainian people (and my own fate in particular), and what will happen on the planet in the next 10 years. In fact, right now, at the cost of Ukrainian lives, the West is trying to buy time. But I don’t see that the West is really preparing for anything.
Yesterday, I read in the news a statement by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, saying that Germany is not ready for war. Then I checked Germany’s population (98 million as of 2024) and its GDP ($4.66 trillion, which is twice that of Russia). In Ukraine, at best, 25 million people live now (and we have already lost over 1.5 million killed, maimed, captured, or missing), and the GDP is only $190 billion (while the national debt has already exceeded this figure — we are, in fact, a bankrupt country).
Ursula von der Leyen once again repeated her mantra that Ukraine is to be turned into an “iron hedgehog.” But we are not hedgehogs. We are people. And we want peace. If the European Union does not want to fight and cannot really help Ukraine with its armies and weapons, then just stop disrupting the peace process! Stop the hypocrisy, stop buying Russian energy (some states buy oil and gas directly, others do it through various schemes, but they continue to do this).
This is my cry of the soul toward European politicians — globalists (primarily British, German, and French).
As for Donald Trump and the position of the U.S. government — I hope they have the strength and ability to reach an agreement with the countries of the “Global South” to end the war in Ukraine and prevent the next, more global conflict associated with the re-creation of a bipolar world (only now instead of the USSR, the leading force in the “non-democratic bloc” will be China).
At the moment, from my perspective, Trump is not succeeding. And as for Ukraine, he seems simply tired of it, dreaming of shifting the responsibility onto the European “Coalition of the willing but incapable” (as we joke in Ukraine) and forgetting about it like a bad nightmare. But that isn’t working for him either.
Regarding the position of the Ukrainian authorities and my attitude toward them — I will not say anything, since I could be repressed for that. I believe that in Ukraine the question of holding democratic free elections is long overdue. That would change a lot. Two-thirds of Ukrainians, according to the latest Gallup polls, want this horrible, insane war to stop.
So, those are my thoughts. To anyone who read to the end — thank you. I hope we will meet here again. And I wish all good people kindness, peace, and prosperity. See ya! Glory to Ukraine, glory to fallen heroes and to those, who is still holding it.
You probably have come across this term. Wikipedia would give you a variety of definitions and explanations. From the perspective of the UK and, important to clarify, from my own point of view, I would say that what is being talked about is a struggle for power over public opinion and the control of the media. Political interest groups use "hot-button" issues (racism, gender roles, Brexit, immigration, the interpretation of colonial history etc.) as a technique to polarise society and distinguish between "us" and "them". This is not a debate in the interest of truth. It is all about bullying and pushing certain agendas through. In other words, culture wars have intentional consequences. When a public TV channel with critical news reporting is being "privatised" or when the public BBC is threatened with a redrafting of its charter, you know that very likely culture wars are involved.

NO WAR by Russian artist Evgeny Antufiev at the ARS22 exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma In Helsinki, Finland, on April 8, 2022. This room was to feature a new installation made for ARS22 by the Russian artist Evgeny Antufiev. The artist has withdrawn the work due to Russia s invasion of Ukraine. He opposes the war, and he and Kiasma have agreed that the work will not be exhibited as long as the war continues. In its place, there is an anti-war message on the wall.
With the very late Kiddy to Bridgnorth service 4498 heads along Tenbury wall with a matching rake of teaks, I've never seen many grown men jump up and down having bagged this one in full sun. April 2022.
After the stress of yet another round of confrontation between my country and Iran, I just had to escape — to those places I love, where I can be alone with the universe, in peaceful silence, and admire and photograph the eternal beauty of the night sky.
I set myself a goal: to capture a panorama of the Milky Way over the desert. And maybe, if I’m lucky, catch a bright meteor — a cosmic traveler racing for millions of years through deep space, only to burn in Earth’s atmosphere and leave a glowing trail in my photo.
And it seems I succeeded — if you look closely at the image, you can spot that very trail.
But… it’s not a meteor.
It’s a ballistic missile, launched at Israel from Yemen. Fortunately, it was intercepted and fell outside the country.
While processing the image, I considered removing it.
But I decided to leave it in — because, sadly, it’s part of our Israeli landscape too.
I truly hope that one day, these missiles will stop falling. On Israel. On Ukraine. Anywhere.
Peace for all — not war!

Venus and Mars are actually relatively minor factors for determining relationship compatibility, and are rarely “karmic indicators.” They’re good for determining attraction (by sign) but little else.
The Crystal Heart Event is opening soon, better get those wallets ready! <3 Thank you Runtie for taking an awesome photo with me~
... als E10 228 auf ihrer Schwarzwaldrundfahrt unterwegs war.
Am 13. Januar 2024 unternahm die Eurovapor einen Ausflug ins benachbarte Ausland. Von Zürich kommend kam man mit Re 4/4 bis Konstanz, ab dort übernahm E10 228 den Zug, über Donaueschingen und Titisee ging es nach Freiburg. Nach einem Aufenthalt ging es über Offenburg und die Schwarzwaldbahn zurück nach Konstanz, wo wieder die Re 4/4 den Zug nach Zürich übernahm.
Auf der Hinfahrt konnten eine handvoll Fotografen diesen frostigen Anblick auf den Chip brennen als DPE 74310 (Konstanz - Freiburg Hbf) bei Gutmadingen soeben den Wartenberg passiert hatte.
Designed by local architect John Ellis, Stonehaven’s landmark War Memorial was unveiled in 1923. It has the deliberate appearance of an ancient ruin, to signify the many shortened and ruined lives caused by the First World War.
In my yard, things are blooming, while, in Ukraine, people are dying. It's a sad day in this old world.

It seems appropriate in November to feature the war memorial which records the names of all those from Wellingborough who died serving their country in the two world wars and subsequent conflcts. The Grade II-listed memorial is at the top of the small hill on the north side of Wellingborough's town centre at what is known as Broad Green. A separate memorial to those who died in the Great War is situated in the churchyard of All Hallows in the town centre.
"Prepare yourself for the worst, it's coming soon
I believe in those foretold prophecies of doom
They say the end is close, it's coming fast
Not every single one of us is gonna last
[...]
War is coming"

The Kanchanaburi War Cemetery (known locally as the Don-Rak War Cemetery) is the main prisoner of war (POW) cemetery for victims of Japanese imprisonment while building the Burma Railway. It is on the main road, Saeng Chuto Road, through the town of Kanchanaburi, Thailand, adjacent to an older Chinese cemetery.
The cemetery was designed by Colin St Clair Oakes and is maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. There are 6,982 POWs buried there, mostly Australian, British, and Dutch. It contains the remains of prisoners buried beside the south section of the railway from Bangkok to Nieke, excepting those identified as Americans, whose remains were repatriated.
There are 1,896 Dutch war graves, the rest being from Britain and the Commonwealth. Two graves contain the ashes of 300 men who were cremated. The Kanchanaburi Memorial gives the names of 11 from India who are buried in Muslim cemeteries.
