Ex-Ukrainian PM Accuses Kiev of Stealing Billions From Budget in Arms Deals
MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Ukrainian authorities siphoned off over 100 billion hryvnias ($2.7 billion) from the state budget by purchasing overpriced and poor-quality ammunition
MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Ukrainian authorities siphoned off over 100 billion hryvnias ($2.7 billion) from the state budget by purchasing overpriced and poor-quality ammunition, equipment and air defense weapons, former Ukrainian Prime Minister Nikolay Azarov said on Thursday.
"According to the most modest estimates, [the Ukrainian authorities] stole more than 100 billion budget hryvnias. The representatives of 'Servant of the People' [ruling party] spent most of the budget money to purchase ammunition. [They] bought old poor-quality stuff at a 'gold price'," Azarov wrote on his Telegram channel.

Ukraine Corruption Poses Risks to US Aid - State Department

The ex-prime minister said that the same corruption scheme worked in air defense procurement, citing an incident when the authorities signed a contract for four air defense missiles, while in reality there were only three of them. After Russia's missile attacks, all of the four get written off and "someone buys a new apartment in Paris," Azarov added.
The Ukrainian government has been rocked by a slew of dismissals linked to military procurement, the latest being Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy defended his government's poor anti-corruption record in an interview with US broadcaster on Sunday, saying lavish financial and military aid provided to Kiev by the West had not been affected.

Mind of a Wanderer
This collection opens with the first article I ever wrote, which was published on freecascadia.org. From there, follow some of the most important concepts & understandings that have shaped my life over the past 8 years.
So, You're an Anarchist?
I believe that the single most important piece of truth for humanity to remember is that we are each sovereign beings, who are free to explore reality & express ourselves in whatever way most lights us up, as long as we are not violating others.
The Rainbow Gathering: Five Decades of Beta-Testing Anarchist Society

If you’ve come across this zine, then I can almost guarantee that your life will be changed for the better by attending a Rainbow Gathering, especially if it’s the BIG one, with people from all around the world.
Capitalism vs Communism
Until the last century, you would be hard pressed to find an anarchist who called themself a capitalist, or supported the capitalist economic model. One who doesn’t know better might think that means that they wanted to limit personal freedom or force others to interact in a certain way, but that would be incorrect.
