Also she was German during a time of a war against Germany.

Let's be honest, they're all Germans at the end of the day.

Okay I'll admit it, I do not have the posting prowess and creativity that matches up to a fingernail of the power wielded by the Somali-American people.

Does this mean if the major financial institutions start using TICKLE-ME-ELMO-bots as their digital tellers, and they have full access to the vaults and all the financial debt everyone owes to them...

Does this mean you could fight-club finance capital without any funny pop pop clay? Like break the shackles of tens of millions of people if you manage to figure out how to get the silly digi-furby to initiate a full purge of records plus deleting itself and everything linking you to it as a funny prank in Victoria 3?

Edited with extemporaneous commentary for a special someone that enjoys riffs

  • A recent US Army exercise looked at life-saving medical care when wounded troops can't be flown out.

  • In an intense conflict, getting troops off the field or bringing in supplies could prove extremely difficult.

  • The exercise revived the "walking blood bank" concept from World War I, using soldiers.

Instead of preparing their soldiers for fighting a modern war, the U.S army is preparing their soldiers to larp like they're the nazis that got encircled in stalingrad but tell themselves theyre actually aiming for that authentic Verdun vibe.

Western troops may face deadlier fights in future wars. If helicopters can't fly medevac flights, the US Army's fallback for treating the wounded is a World War I approach: using soldiers as "walking blood banks."

Just an FYI: The U.S army basic deployed unit group is the nazi Kampfgruppe inspired-but-they-won't-openly-admit-it Brigade Combat Team. This is a maneuver unit whose force composition is motorized (infantry), mechanized (Stryker IFV) and/or armored (Abrams with Stryker support).

Can you guess why that doesn't really mesh well with the modern warfare we've been seeing out of Ukraine?

During a recent exercise on a German hillside, the Army and its allies and partners simulated enemy artillery fire that resulted in tremendous soldier casualties. Without air superiority for flying evacuations for the injured or bringing in needed supplies, life-saving treatment had to be done right near the fight.

Very appropriate they're in Germany. i-am-adolf-hitler

Front-line Army medical personnel practiced an old tactic making a comeback, with troops lining up to give blood directly to the wounded right on the battlefield. In this situation, blood transfusions were done with donations from soldiers who were pre-screened and prepared to donate blood on the fly.

So generally speaking ye olde standard issue medikit 'unit one pack' doesn't really have shit that let's you do man-to-man transfusions, but because the Army loves individualism medkits can vary in contents between different units and even just different individuals. So unless the Army gets it's shit together and actually acts like an army by creating standards, this idea of having private Joe dipshit suck-start a plastic straw shoved in this buddy's arm so he won't die of blood loss ain't gonna happen.

The exercise saw US soldiers from the 2nd Cavalry Regiment and 1st Armored Division Combat Aviation Brigade training to provide prolonged care in the field, a necessity in situations like the Ukraine war, or potential future conflicts, where contested air makes it difficult to move injured troops off the battlefield for trauma care in the critical "golden hour" window.

Yeah, no. Sticking silly straws in your soldiers isn't it, chief. libs-owned

The US and its allies were able to enjoy that during the conflicts in the Middle East, but that might not be an option in the future.

Interesting how the golden age of western war-fighting was against people who didn't have jets or tanks but only flip-flops and dusty-ass AKs.

And they still lost.

Kemeny said that while the walking blood bank was something done previously, it is still innovative since it had been out of practice.

For good reason, dork

The US Army has been reexamining the role of "walking blood banks" in battle for a few years now. For instance, in 2019, the XVII Airborne Corps and Armed Services Blood Program partnered to identify soldiers with the universal blood type O who could become immediate donors on the battlefield.

Outside of trying to motivate boots to quit purely on the ground they're being turned into literal bloodbags to get slurped dry, the Army's literally one step away from the nazis and how they used captured civilians as bloodbags.

The effort could save lives, especially in remote locations where every second to treat wounded soldiers counts, personnel said at the time.

No seriously, the minimum warcrime mindset that's beaten into american soldiers is "get yourself and your own back home safely, damn everyone else". These fuckers will literally raze entire apartment complexes full of families because some jackass is taking pot-shots at them from it. No shit they're one step away from recreating Vyritsa concentration camp.

There have been other experiments as well. In early 2024, for example, Army medics participating in a large-scale joint exercise in Alaska told Business Insider about the difficulties of treating injuries in cold-weather environments like the Arctic. Blood transfusions in particular were complicated by the low temperatures, leading personnel to experiment with walking blood banks.

See? Training for the Stalingrad but telling themselves it's Tannenberg.

And in Ukraine, a Danish-Ukrainian initiative is mobilizing a "walking blood bank" that taps both civilians and soldiers as donors. The program helps offset severe blood shortages caused by Russia's full-scale invasion, which has driven up demand from mass casualties.

Mass casualties from throwing conscripts into machine gun fire in a live action reenactment of 'enemy at the gates' dennis-stare

For the US and its allies, the return of walking blood banks as a concept is a clear reminder that future conflicts may demand not just new weapons, but also old practices reborn to keep soldiers alive when the skies aren't safe.

Hmmmmm maybe it'd be smarter to teach 'em how to make trenches that you can live in, with shelters and all that a la ww1 style. But hey, let them find out the fun way gangster-spongebob

 

The moonies have also been found to be deeply embedded in the coup-attempting former president's party making up just shy of 15% of the reactionary party's membership.

[Exclusivep Unification Church President Han Hak-ja to be detained on the 22nd amid allegations... A turning point in the special prosecutor's investigation.

For the first time since becoming president in 2012, a former chief of staff is also under arrest. "Accomplice" Rep. Kwon Seong-dong arrested... Investigating the connection between Yoon and his wife remains a challenge.

(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Koh Ga-hye = The special prosecutors' team investigating suspicions related to Ms. Kim Kun-hee is rushing towards the peak of suspicions of 'religious collusion' between the political world and the Unification Church.

In particular, following the arrest of People Power Party lawmaker Kwon Seong-dong last week on charges of receiving money from the Unification Church, attention is focused on whether President Han Hak-ja, who is at the center of the suspicions, will be arrested this week, which will determine the direction of the special prosecutor's investigation.

According to the legal community on the 21st, the special prosecution team requested an arrest warrant for Unification Church President Hak Ja Han and former Chief Secretary to the President, Mr. Jeong, on the 18th on charges of violating the Political Funds Act.

After questioning President Han, who had appeared voluntarily on the 17th, for about 9 and a half hours, the special prosecutors moved to secure new recruits just one day later.

This appears to be due to the judgment that President Han has no intention of cooperating with the investigation, as he refused to appear three times despite the special prosecutor's repeated summons, and only voluntarily appeared after his accomplice, Rep. Kwon, was arrested on the 16th, and that there was a high risk of destruction of evidence.

Mr. Jeong, who was also requested for arrest, is known to be the vice-chairman of Cheonmuwon, the highest administrative organization of the Unification Church, and former chief of staff to Chairman Han, and is listed as an accomplice in most of Chairman Han's charges.

The suspect interrogation (substantive examination of the warrant) prior to the arrest of President Han and Mr. Jeong will be held at 1:30 PM and 4:00 PM respectively on the 22nd under the supervision of Judge Jeong Jae-wook, who is in charge of issuing warrants at the Seoul Central District Court.

The charges listed on their warrants are largely four: violation of the Political Funds Act, violation of the Prohibition of Solicitation and Bribery Act, instigation of destruction of evidence, and embezzlement.

First, Chairman Han is accused of colluding with former Unification Church global headquarters director Mr. Yoon to deliver 100 million won in political funds to Rep. Kwon in January 2022, requesting support for the Unification Church from the Yoon Seok-yeol government (violation of the Political Funds Act).

He is also accused of being involved in requesting a favor on a religious issue from April to July 2022 by giving an expensive necklace and a Chanel bag to Ms. Kim Gun-hee through 'Geonjin Beopsa' Jeon Seong-bae (violation of the Anti-Bribery Act).

He is also accused of using church funds to purchase items such as a necklace and bag to be given to Ms. Kim (embezzlement), and of instructing Mr. Yoon to destroy evidence in preparation for a police investigation into his alleged gambling trip abroad in October 2022 (incitement to destruction of evidence).

However, the suspicion that the Unification Church had recruited a large number of its followers to the party in order to support Rep. Kwon as the party leader ahead of the People Power Party's national convention (violation of the Political Party Act) was not specifically stated in the arrest warrant.

The special prosecutors explained that although they succeeded in securing a list of approximately 110,000 Unification Church believers through a search and seizure of the People Power Party headquarters and the party membership management company on the 18th, it is realistically impossible to analyze this over the weekend and present it immediately for the warrant review on Monday.

The charge related to the suspicion that he handed over a shopping bag containing valuables to Rep. Kwon, who visited him in February and March 2022, was also omitted from the arrest warrant.

This is the first time that a president has been placed under arrest since he took office alone in September 2012.

The Unification Church issued a statement immediately after the arrest warrant was requested, strongly condemning the special prosecutor's action, saying, "This action is an unjust suppression of an international religious leader."

In particular, the special prosecutors' request for an arrest warrant for former President Han, despite him voluntarily appearing for questioning while in poor health, was criticized as a measure conscious of public opinion and performance, citing concerns that he might flee.

At the warrant review on the 22nd, it is expected that President Han's side will argue that there is no risk of flight, citing his advanced age and heart disease.

He is expected to emphasize that he did not avoid legal proceedings by voluntarily appearing for questioning, despite undergoing a heart procedure earlier this month, which has not returned his oxygen saturation to normal levels and there are concerns about complications.

On the other hand, the special prosecutors are expected to raise concerns about additional destruction of evidence, citing the fact that President Han has been uncooperative with the investigation, such as by refusing to appear in court on the 8th, 11th, and 15th, and that he is already under investigation for instigating destruction of evidence.

Previously, the Unification Church maintained its position that the acts of solicitation and provision of money were Yoon's personal deviant actions.

However, the indictment against Mr. Yoon, which was first handed over to trial, stated that there was President Han's approval behind Mr. Yoon's actions.

It also included content that the Unification Church approached former President Yoon and Mrs. Kim to ask for help on various issues in order to realize the ideology of unity between church and state, which states that the country should be run according to the will of the president.

Accordingly, if the court issues an arrest warrant, the special prosecutor's sword will likely be aimed at the former President Yoon and his wife, who are the targets of the request.

The special prosecution team is said to be suspicious that some of this money may have ended up going to former President Yoon, based on the circumstances that the box containing 50 million won in official rewards out of the 100 million won delivered to Rep. Kwon had the character "王" engraved on the packaging, and text messages from Mr. Yoon and others containing remarks implying former President Yoon.

However, as the suspects, including former President Han, are denying all charges, the special prosecution team's remaining task is likely to be to find specific links to former President Yoon and his wife.

It was reported that on the 17th, when questioned about the allegations that he gave Ms. Kim a Chanel bag, President Han stated, "I do not know what a Chanel bag is and I have never given it to her."

It has been reported that he also testified that he did give Rep. Kwon a shopping bag containing a tie and gave him some New Year's money, but that he did not give any money or valuables for the purpose of requesting a favor.

In addition, the Unification Church claimed, "The only evidence for the allegation that Chairman Han gave instructions for a favor is Mr. Yoon's statement, but he did not even admit to giving instructions from Chairman Han at his trial on the 17th," and "they requested an arrest warrant without even presenting clear evidence."

[Exclusive] 110,000 People Power Party Unification Church Members Join the Party in Support of Kwon Seong-dong

Special prosecutors are investigating the systematic involvement of the Unification Church in the People Power Party's previous leadership, comparing the names of its members with those of the Unification Church. They are also investigating whether 100,000 existing party members were influenced.

"After the service, they handed out membership applications."

Special Prosecutor Kim Keon-hee (also known as Special Prosecutor Min Joong-ki) attempted three raids on the People Power Party in connection with allegations of "unification church group membership," and ultimately secured a list of 110,000 suspected Unification Church members.

The special prosecutor suspects that the Unification Church recruited around 10,000 of its members as People Power Party members in order to systematically support former President Yoon Seok-yeol's close associate, Rep. Kwon Seong-dong. The special prosecutor plans to closely analyze this list to determine whether the 10,000 "new group members" are actually included.

According to legal sources on the 19th, Special Prosecutor Kim Keon-hee raided the People Power Party's database management company the previous day and secured a list of 110,000 members believed to be members of the Unification Church. The special prosecutor visited the company with the list of 1.2 million followers obtained during the raid and compared it with a list of approximately 5 million People Power Party members. Using a program, the special prosecutors compared and contrasted information such as names and dates of birth, extracting approximately 110,000 matching names.

Special Prosecutor Kim Hyung-geun explained in a briefing that day, "We extracted information by technically comparing the membership of Unification Church members to the People Power Party within the specific period specified in the warrant. We did not inspect or obtain the entire party membership list. The secured data is currently being analyzed." The specific period specified in the warrant reportedly covers October 2022 to March 2023, or between January and April of last year.

Based on this list, the special prosecutor is investigating whether the Unification Church systematically intervened in the People Power Party's national convention in March 2023. It has also been reported that the church pushed for mass membership to support Rep. Kwon, but then switched its support to Rep. Kim Ki-hyun when Rep. Kwon declined to run.

The special prosecutor is currently working to determine how many of the 110,000 members they secured are actually eligible to vote. Approximately 780,000 members were included in the party's electoral college at the time. The estimated 110,000 Unification Church members represent approximately 14% of the total. Given the potential influence on the election results, the special prosecutors are closely examining individual members' membership dates, dues payments, and even their regional distribution.

The special prosecutors suspect that about 10,000 of the 110,000 members joined the party in groups around November 2021. At the time, former Unification Church World Headquarters Director Yoon Young-ho sent a text message to 'Geonjin Beopsa' Jeon Seong-bae (arrested and indicted), asking, "How many do you need for the national convention?", and Jeon reportedly replied, "Mobilize at least 10,000 party members who have paid party dues for more than 3 months." The special prosecutors are also looking into whether the remaining existing party members intervened in the national convention. The special prosecutors' view is that if 10,000 new members, in addition to existing members, had voted for a specific candidate, it would have had a huge impact on the election landscape.

The special prosecutor's office reportedly confirmed these circumstances by recently summoning and questioning Unification Church district heads and parish leaders. It is known that the Unification Church systematically recruited members by distributing People Power Party membership applications to believers after services at each church in five districts nationwide, compiling the application status into quotas, and reporting it to higher-ups. A Unification Church official said, "I was on my way home after Sunday service when a church deacon approached me and said, 'Please fill out this one,' and handed me a People Power Party membership application form." The official added, "Other Unification Church members likely signed up in the same way."

Regarding Special Prosecutor Kim Kun-hee's raid on the party membership list the previous day (the 18th), the People Power Party announced on the 19th that it would "file a complaint against the special prosecutor for abuse of power." Some within the party have also pointed out that the leadership should take the lead in verifying the facts and providing an explanation. Former Supreme Council member Kim Jong-hyuk, a close friend (close friend Dong-hoon), said on Facebook on the same day, “If 400,000 (responsible party members) voted and 25% of them, or 100,000, moved in unison for a specific candidate, the results were obvious,” and “It would not be impossible to make someone the party leader or presidential candidate.”

Reading through this thread;

BREAKING: Mangione’s defense just dropped a 114-page brief, moving to dismiss the indictment and strike Trump’s DOJ’s death penalty notice.

The filing calls out political interference, illegal perp walks, prejudicial leaks, and says Trump’s DOJ is pursuing execution for political reasons, not law.

Follow as I break this down. I’m covering Mangione’s trial with a trauma informed lens.

It helps me put into context what an actual sham capitalist show trial is in contrast to Soviet Justice.

Also are all journalists in it together in a plot to ensure only flattering pictures of Luigi reach the public? I legit haven't seen a picture of him that is even remotely unflattering.

1/ Shocking new testimonies reveal systematic torture-like abuse at Georgia ICE facility on Korean workers: pregnant woman fearing for unborn child, handcuff burns, forced medical injections without consent, and staff neglecting workers having seizures and medical collapses.

2/ Yonhap News TV obtained exclusive photos showing a Korean worker's wrist from the Georgia detention facility. The images reveal clear red burn marks caused by handcuffs/cable ties. Worker testified that "quite a few people" suffered similar injuries.

3/ Testimonies also reveal forced medical procedures. One worker claims that during health checks before formal facility admission, despite refusing all tests, facility staff forcibly administered a tuberculosis injection against their will.

4/ "After receiving the jab, my skin swelled up and I was very anxious." Another said: "I remember a friend among us whose arm swelled up after getting injected. He said he didn't know what it was and got the shot. He said they stabbed him with a needle in upper left wrist area."

5/ Medical emergencies were allegedly ignored by facility staff. A worker collapsed due to worsening chronic sleep disorders, with symptoms deteriorating during detention, eventually leading to serious breathing difficulties. Staff apparently just watched, did nothing.

6/ Meanwhile, MBC revealed that a pregnant Korean engineer was among those detained in what she describes as torture-like conditions. She was working on computer tasks in the factory office when ICE agents forcibly took her away without explanation.

7/ The pregnant engineer held a legal B1 visa specifically for battery equipment installation work. She was scheduled to return to Korea this very week after completing her assigned work at the facility

8/ She was arrested on charges of illegal residence and held in the detention facility in a red prison uniform. She testified: "I appealed that my visa was still valid, but they didn't even pretend to listen."

9/ Detention conditions were horrific: over 30 people were crammed into a single room with just 3 sinks and 4 toilets in an open area. Privacy was non-existent, creating degrading conditions for female detainees "who were menstruating".

10/ When she informed guards she was pregnant, they only responded that she would be moved to "a room with slightly better conditions". She witnessed another female detainee having seizures and being neglected, fearing for her own unborn child should a medical emergency happen.

11/ "I really thought they were going to kill someone, and I was terrified," she said. "I was so shocked that I wasn't having morning sickness anymore and worried something had happened to my baby."

12/ Food was apparently completely inedible. "Even the bread smelled bad and sour," she said. "I couldn't eat it."

13/ Only after returning to South Korea and getting checked at a hospital could she finally breathe a sigh of relief when she learned that her baby was healthy. She says she has nightmares every night now, and "really wants to sue... in the country of lawsuits".

14/ South Korea's foreign ministry has announced it will investigate these abuse cases and will raise issues with the US if necessary. The mounting physical evidence and testimonies paint a picture of systematic human rights violations at the ICE facility.

 
 

The perfect height for the pain-piggies to feast sicko-pig

 

A small bit of it was featured in the horror game Mouthwashing funny enough.

Anyways I wanted to share its existence because it's wikipage had an interesting blurb from one of its critics, a fellow traveler I think.

In his book Paul Robeson and the Cold War Performance Complex, Tony Perucci notes that in Make Mine Freedom, "mob violence against Communist instigators is celebrated as patriotic. . .[w]ith Looney Tunes-style music, the raging mob attacks the Communist, running him out of town, as his screams fade into a patriotic fife and drum."

Wanted to post it because it seems a bit relevant now, no? It seems that the capitalists are finally wising up that the spectre of communism is still alive and is kicking up the "anti-woke" and anti-trans hysteria to 11 in order to trigger a reactionary backlash against the rapid rise of socialist consciousness among the people. Which gives me both hope and dread as our enemies are now starting to take the great game even more serious than before.

 
 

Vid below highlighting shit that may have been missed by casual onlookers. I think it's actually pretty good grounded speculation. I'd actually say that it might sort of be good enough to be approaching spoiler territory if you're good at extrapolating storyline narratives based off of scant info lol.

https://youtu.be/ZkSjJDB_pds

So it seems like it's very likely this is a sequel instead of a prequel, with at least three characters being confirmed to have crests of previous characters with one of them (guy pictured with the sword) having the most clear connection to three houses with his sword, appearance, and in-game abilities tying him directly to one of the story's previous characters.

What has me excited the most is the very distinct direction the story is going with how it seems to aiming for expanding the 3 houses world from Irishy heavy with kraut-roman seasoning worldbuilding to seemingly a more direct connection to Roman and Carthaginian / North African influinced worldbuilding. It's really making me hope the writers not only go out of their comfort zone of only making euro-japanese fantasy games into the wider grand world but also really stick the landing and breath new life into the genre alltogether.

Also I'm super fucking curious about why there's a gun in fire emblem now. Personally I'm betting on Agarthians but who the hell knows, its a whole new world now.
