As most of you know I managed to get on the Tank Tribune before:

https://thetanktribune.newgrounds.com/news/post/1202116

Last August I was featured here specifically:

The Phonograph section. Not only did I feel honoured then I still feel honoured now that at the time this song was good enough to be featured there:

I didn't think I'd be featured on there more than once. That is until this arrived at my notification:

https://thetanktribune.newgrounds.com/news/post/1256032

I initially thought I was on the Phonograph again, but I found myself on something better:

I couldn't believe my eyes at first, but here I am. For my recent album being available on Bandcamp no less.

First off I'd like to thank @TheTankTribune, for featuring me on here.

I'd also like to thank @The-Great-One for not only reviewing my previous work, but writing such an engaging post.

I'd like to give a big shout out those that made it on the Phonograph. You've earned it.

Finally I'd like to thank my fans, in all sincerity I wouldn't have gone this far without you.

In the spirit of this thing I decided to make a corkboard with these two articles.:

Hopefully I may go for the hat trick.

Last time I did a piece on this I practically pleaded for Putin to find some humanity left in him to stop this onslaught. It wasn't until recently I realized this man is not a human being.

Just an hour or so ago, I watched a news post on CP24. In which Kyiv, the very capital of Ukraine got attacked by airstrikes and tank assault. I specifically watched footage, of a tank firing shells at residential buildings. In a war strategy I would get why one would attack the capital, but only to take out weapons and vehicles. These people on Putin's orders sought to blow up buildings full of civilians along the way. His army. No his gang, locks down an entire block. Massacres and entire quadrant of men, women and children, just to take out the capital. Sound like overkill to you?

A few days ago I was alerted, that there were bots on this site trying to justify the attack on them. I knew about this already since they bombarded youtube trying to paint Putin as some kind of hero.

When I did my psychological warfare posts, I did so under the assumption that like many politicians, Putin would monitor the internet for any weaknesses of other countries as well as anyone outside of Russia talking shit about him. So naturally knowing that he's watching even as I type this, I started throwing personal insults at him through art. All of which can be seen here:

https://www.newgrounds.com/playlists/view/2a40e4ffd592fa640518902a4417ffc6

I mostly was trying to do all I can to make him lose face in front of his people. The guy has the kind of character where he doesn't take personal insults lightly from random nobodies like myself, whom he considers superior over.

I take it back, he's more than just a bully. He's a dickless, child killing monster and he deserves to fucking die.

What I am about to say, is dead serious and I really hope all of you are paying attention. My quarrel is not with the Russian Protestors or the ordinary citizens. My hatred is strictly at Putin, his Death Squad and all the heartless assholes I know are gonna come flying in justifying what he just did. If any one of you are among my fans, I suggest you unfollow me right fucking now I mean it. This is not a joke. This is serious. Life and Death.

If any one of you comes to my post justifying the slaughter of civilians, especially children, you are on my shit list for life. That extends to well after this war ends. This is not a fucking game. This is not some first world bullshit. This is a fucking war and it should be treated as such.

To those that stuck with me all this time, you are the bravest people I've ever known and I suggest you do what it takes to throw this bastard off his game. Know anyone in the military? Have them sign up for whatever offensives come up. Know anyone that can help get the civilians out quicker? And if there is anyone in Russia that can get close to Putin, don't just protest. Molotov his dickless ass. Because enough is enough. This thing ends with either him behind bars or 6 feet under IN A FUCKING BOX!!!

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

A follow up to these:

After 2 more days of drinking my batches, I come to the conclusion that my most powerful of all Iced Teas is my White Tea/Green Tea hybrid. So using the prep technique I mentioned in the first article, I bought a 1500 ML Glass Jar and for the teas, placed 3 White and 3 Green tea bags in room temperature water. After waiting for it to steep I put it in the fridge and drank the first cup yesterday morning. Needless to say I got two cups of tea into one. The tea itself is good and the effects are even better. Plus it saves me time to make more now that I got a jar big enough for exactly 6 cups.

I may one day look for the means to turn this tea into the Health Drink I desire.

I was at a food bank, basically piecing the rest of my personal life together and among most things got into a discussion with one of the other patrons there. We were talking about what's been going on regarding Ukraine V Russia and he told me that the whole spectacle of people joining in seems to treat war like Professional Wrestling. By that he meant, pre-fight taunts and things like that. Strangely enough seeing what's been going on and taking part of it myself with my pictures and music, I kind of agree. But that being said, what should have been funny, scared the Hell out of me. Because Stuart Gordon was right again.

Robot Jox

For those who don't know what I mean. I once did an article trying to come up with alternative ways to fighting war. Ways to settle territorial disputes combatively without loss of life. As a result I got inspired by this movie above me. Now when this movie was made it was in the mid 80s. The Cold War was coming to a close and the respective fighters on each side were obvious dead ringers of The Soviet Union and their Comrades vs The United States and their allies. With the Confederation vs The Market respectfully. However while it was made in the mid 80s, it was released in the 90s and bombed hard, because at the time, The Cold War was over and no one was interested in anything related to it anymore. However I believe this B-Movie is due for a comeback, because like other movies beforehand that I've mentioned, I believe this one predicted the future we live in now.

For starters it takes place in a future where things are so bad you can't go outside without wearing masks. Before I watched this movie again, I always wondered how Herbert West would deal with Covid. I had no idea at the time that Combs was in this movie as a spectator. So in a way I got my answer. Nothing but making bets on Robot Fights.

Second, it also takes place in a future where real meat is scarce while artificial meat takes it's place. Sound familiar? It should. What with Beyond Meat and Impossible Meat coming into the forefront.

The third and most important one. As said before The Confederation is a dead ringer for the Soviet Union and The Market is a Dead Ringer for America. As a result of this conflict, they are at each other's throats again along with the rest of us. So needless to say we're a giant robot short of an accurate depiction of a movie predicting the future.

Fourth, also important. The main plot of the movie involves The Confederation and The Market fighting over Alaska, which at the time had an abundance of resources from oil to fresh water. The result of the conflict with Russia has caused a huge ban preventing them from importing or exporting resources. Meaning that sooner or later if this thing goes on their stuff gets depleted. Not only that, but everyone is gonna look to fight them for theirs at one point. Bringing this foll circle.

And Fifth which brings me to this. Despite the fact that Robot Jox is supposed to be an alternative war, it's treated like an international sport. No different than what is going on today.

Most people focus on the A-Listers when it comes to future stuff, but sometimes the B-Movies are no slouch either.

First of all forgive the angry emoji, it's only directed at Putin and those that support him. As I may clarify once again. My beef is against him, the soldiers under his direct orders, the bots spreading propaganda and anyone dumb enough to fall for their bullshit.

With that said, while I took a break from talking about it as well as making art and music based solely on it, I didn't pay less attention to it.

First off I owe @TomFulp and @HerbieG a major apology got my part in the argument in the how to help Ukraine forum. While I didn't help matters contributing to it I thought I'd owe an explanation. While the guy that started said argument who shall remain nameless, was being a rude insensitive asshole, for suggesting that we should ignore it, I would like to point out that he did raise some good points. Most, not all, but some charities even the ones not during wartime can be considered a waste of time, because as that person mentioned some people running it pocket most of the money meant to be sent to who it was intended to gets pocketed by those that run it. It's stupid, but it's common sense. If charities really worked the way we wanted them to, the people in Third World Countries would be starving less, the major diseases that plagued us for centuries from Aids to Cancer would have been cured and a lot of homeless would have homes. Just to name a few. Now this is not a knock on all charities. I know from experience, that many charities are on the level. So if you think the same way about the ones used to help Ukraine, then go right ahead. However I'd like to add my own points on here too, since that part got removed as well.

For starters, my main gripe isn't that. During times of War, even the most corrupt of charities would step up and help people out, because they realize if this spills out, the people that are making it happen will eventually go after them simply for announcing their intentions to help. Meaning all the money they would have pocketed and all the provisions, they would have hoarded would go straight to whom they were meant to go to. My main gripe however is the one simple fact. Unlike most wars, which while devastating none the less, rarely take the fight into the cities and towns of the country occupied. Much of why some of the most well known Offensives like D-Day for example take place in open fields, beaches and other empty spaces is so that the battle is settled between soldier to soldier. Leaving the cities somewhat safe. Meaning if you had enough resources to fly the money, provisions and god forbid weapons for them to defend themselves with, the most common place to air drop them would be in a city or a town with instructions on how to get there and back in one piece.

However there is a major problem with this. Because Russia has occupied many cities and towns in the Ukraine, anything we Airdrop has a 90/10 chance of them intercepting it. Not only robbing Ukraine of their only means of aid at the time, but also giving the Russian Army and to an extent Putin, enough money and resources to keep the invasion going. Which Putin would make sure they'd try to retrieve since he's slowly losing money in Russia as it is. What with the sanctions and the major western based businesses like Shell, McDonald's and Starbucks, suspending operations in their Russian chains.

The other gripe I have is that recently I noticed a pattern, the attacks get worse every time Putin calls for a ceasefire. Just recently they took out places that would have allowed anyone not fighting a chance to leave peacefully and easily. What I am about to say is directed at the Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelensky. If he hears me, great. If he doesn't, then I tried at least. My message is this:

Stop falling for Putin's offer of ceasefires. They are not ceasefires they are diversions. Putin is using the talks because it forces the soliders on your side to lower your guard, while their side has their guns always at the ready. He doesn't want peace, he doesn't want to end this thing. What he wants is simple. For you to surrender your country. And the reason why he's hurting you worse is because he doesn't take "No." for an answer. My advice to you is simple. The next time he calls for a Ceasefire, don't listen to him. If you have no choice, don't waste an opportunity to do damage to him. Even if you don't make it, you'll at least die a hero to your people which in turn would inspire them to take up arms and fight to the last person. The last thing he wants right now, since he's already pissed off most of the sane world, is his perceived enemy to become a martyr. Because that would be the final nail in the coffin for him. He wants you alive so he can demoralize you in front of your people. He needs you more than you need yourself at this moment. Don't give him the satisfaction.

To the citizens of Russia, stop falling for Putin's bullshit. Yes it is true, that Ukraine has a checkered history. Yes, SOME people. Not all, but some people have contributed to it. However it does not define the nation as a whole, nor does it justify the slaughter of civilians. Putin is pulling what I like to call The Demon's Lie. It's a form of psychology who's name I coined from the movie The Exorcist. In it, Father Lankester Merrin advises Father Damien Karras on combating the Demon Pazuzu. In that the Demon is an expert liar, because it has the ability to mix lies with the truth in an attempt to confuse and corrupt his foes. Putin is no different, he does tell the truth, about Ukraine's history. However, his reasoning, that THAT specific thing is the reason why he's invading is where the bullshit can be spotted. He has his own sinister reasons to invade Ukraine. Ranging from restarting the Soviet Union, to Covid-19 Isolation induced madness. The latter of which I have once warned would happen through my expressionist audio drama here:

The point being is that you people have the power to take him out of office. You yourselves have seen that he is no longer mentally competent enough to run the country, let alone have your best interests at heart. The country became the way it was through Revolution. I believe with your help, you could restore it through the same way.

To Putin himself. As much as I hate you for what you've done, I urge you, in the name of what's left of your humanity, to stop this pointless onslaught. To go back home and get some professional help. What you are doing is not clever. It's not revolutionary. It is fucking insane. Everyone around the world is aware of it and if you continue going the way you're going, you'll burn for it. And I don't mean Hell. You're already in Hell. This is your last chance. I suggest you take it.

To everyone else, just stay tuned. Hopefully this will be over.

I was gonna save the next level post until I reached 30, because then I'd be halfway there, but 23 gave me some interesting thoughts.

Over the years I noticed that it's become the most obsessed number and combination of the numbers in the world. I first caught wind of it, ironically through the Jim Carrey thriller The Number 23:

A story about an animal control worker, who finds a murder mystery book of the same name. On top of the book making him obsessed with the number, he realizes that what the author wrote actually happened in real life. Just with names changed. Meaning he may have stumbled across an actual murder and is hellbent on finding out what and why.

Throughout the movie the number shows up everywhere in various ways and combos that have also been shown in real life. Some of which I will list here:

1. For starters 23 is considered an Angel Number. In this case it means the angels and Ascended Masters are assisting you with maintaining your faith and trust in the Universe as you work diligently to manifest your highest desires and aspirations.
2. In Numerology it means those who have that number are often gifted with: Expression of Personal Freedom, Curiosity, Diplomacy, Companionship, Creative self-expression and Adventure.
3. In science, humans have 23 Chromosomes in the DNA.
4. In math it's the 9th prime number.
5. In Christianity, you have Psalm 23, so well known even those not into the religion know it by heart.
6. On the dark side of things even the math with the numbers has some stories to tell. The most famous being 2 Divided by 3 = 0.666.
7. At age 23 it marked the first 2 years I managed to live in one spot.

I could go on, but point being, I believe in how powerful that number is and I am glad I managed to make it this far. And with 7 points away I will be halfway to Level 60.

I'd like to thank both my fans and foes, for sticking with me this long. And wish me luck, because I am now hell bent at at least getting halfway there.

Lonely Love Spider

Fuck me this took me so long to make. Even without the bullshit that's been going on recently. This is probably in my opinion one of my best works this year. I wanted to do sort of an aspect of friendly Goth with this piece since I already did other aspects from dark and beautiful to disturbing and horrifying.

In this case I took inspiration from the likes of Tim Burton and Neil Gaiman. Who are very good at creating misunderstood monsters and bizarre fairytale like worlds.

Much like other pieces, this comes with a free digital copy of my painting. Enjoy.

I thought I'd take a short break from my public call out of Putin and those that support him to do something a little different. Something to offer some levity in times like this.

I make a point to keep my usual things away from my call outs, because I believe one can fight and still continue on with their life like normal, if they do it right. Bob Hope for example maintains his status as an actor and a comedian even when he's doing his USO Shows to boost morale to the soldiers.

In my case on top of continuing my music and art like usual I thought I'd bring something up I meant to do, before all this shit happened.

As most of you have seen I've done a news post regarding my idea to create homemade iced tea as seen here:

https://cieirmusic.newgrounds.com/news/post/1252702

Last week I basically was testing out the difference between the Green Tea, White Tea, fusing them and the Orange Pekoe. The latter of which is the standard for Iced Tea. I first tried these out and I can safely say, the white and green are way superior to the orange pekoe both sweetened and unsweetened. However I didn't stop there.

I omitted the Orange Pekoe entirely because I wanted to stick to the initial three. For the past week I've made it using the method I described in my last post on it, then proceed to periodically drink the three once in each aspect of the day. Morning, Noon, Evening. Here is what has happened so far to me.

1. I lost so much weight naturally. Going from between 235 - 245 to between 228 - 235.That's about 10 - 17 pounds difference. The reason why it happened so fast was because I added it to my initial diet as well as my exercise. Contrary to popular belief it is true you can lose weight in a fast yet healthy way. So long as it's still healthy. This is not a quick fix as this actually took time and research as well as testing it on myself, before giving the results away. I would not recommend anything I wouldn't do myself. However it helped me both by detoxifying my body and increasing my metabolism. The White Tea specifically inhibiting the growth of bad fats to boot. So not only am I losing weight, I'm keeping it off.
2. As a result of my increased metabolism I am more motivated and energetic. I have not felt this way since I was a little kid. It was like going through a second childhood in terms of energy. Which in turn, encourages me to be active more. To exercise more. Which in turn along with other aspects of my diet, has increased my chances of losing weight and maintaining and strengthening the muscles I've been working on.

I mostly did it as a hobby and a means of improving my diet. However, I believe this may be a key component to making a better health drink. Maybe even something more. However I'd have to look into other aspects as well since Energy is only one key factor into it. And this stuff, helped me boost said energy.

Last night I was watching CP24. They said, that Putin consider the sanctions as well as any effort to help the Ukrainians out, would be considered a declaration of war. Needless to say, he was specifically referring to Canada and The United States efforts to help Ukraine, such as humanatarian efforts and helping any citizens that wanted out to have asylum in our countries. In Layman's terms, that short dicked, Stalin wannabe Diet Coke of Soviets piece of human shit, is threatening the western hemisphere simply for helping Ukraine and condemning him.

Now Trudeau as well as Biden are trying their hardest to make sure it doesn't come down to war, but I have something to say to Putin, the Russian Army and any citizens on his side of the matter, spewing propaganda all over the net in an effort to get the idiots on said net to join them.

You've called down the thunder well now you have it. Should Canada go to war and with the way tensions are rising, they will, they will do everything in their power alone to destroy everything you've built. We may have lost battles, but look up the history records, not a single time has Canada ever been officially defeated in War. Look at the records again. The Burning of Washington. That was us. The Battle of Vimy Ridge. That was us. Passchendaele, The Dieppe Raid, Juno Beach, our part of the Dam Busters. We have been underestimated by many enemy soldiers and as a result, we've killed so many and destroyed so much property to boot. And that's just our armies. Our citizens, are comprised of the toughest meanest bastards and bitches that ever lived. From our authority figures to our most notorious of organized criminals. And that is just our country alone.

The U.S. Army are no slouches either, they've fought and won many wars since their fight for independence.

Not to mention the other European Countries that used to be part of the Soviet Union, have gone through great lengths to make sure that even if you managed to take Ukraine, you're not gonna leave alive. Not to mention the European Union. As for your Allies such as China. They're on a tightrope. They may not want to dissolve things with you, but they know the rest of the world will get them if they keep taking your side on the manner.

That's not getting started on how much money you've lost during this offensive. Your own soldiers will end up defecting or gunning directly for you the second they realize they're not getting paid and you're preparing to flee.

Needless to say in case I haven't spelled that shit out for you, you've pissed off the entire world. The same world that spent the past decade going at each other's throats. All of them have agreed to set aside their difference for the one goal of taking you out!!

Enough is enough. Your reign as President of Russia is over. I see one of your bots spread propaganda here or any site for that matter, I report them. I see you talk shit about justifying the invasion, bowling over the men, women and children you've killed and I will mock you like the bully you are, until you either kill me or you stop.

So do what you do best Vladimir Putin, run. Run you cur. You tell anyone that decides to pick up your legacy that the world is coming. YOU TELL THEM WE'RE ALL COMING AND HELL IS COMING WITH US YOU HEAR!!! HELL IS COMING WITH US!!!

Putin just threatened U.S.A. and Canada.

It is on now.
