\u00a0 Hollywood, CA (March 17, 2022) \u2014 \u00a0\u201c\u0421\u043b\u0430\u0432\u0430 \u0423\u043a\u0440\u0430\u0457\u043d\u0456! \u2013 Glory to Ukraine\u201d

With regards to any invading force, I am an American. I am an American first. I put my country first. I put my Nation\u2019s People first. Whether we are Democrats, Republicans, Independents, Libertarians, Progressive, Liberal or Conservative, in moments of true crisis, any and ALL individual, selfish wants must be laid down for any nation to survive. A nation\u2019s people must come first. Of the Americans that are alive now, regardless of modern sentiments and arrogance, we are not the first to have had to make the sacrifices that have made America THE Great beacon for freedom. Sadly, many Americans who are alive now know very little of America\u2019s history, much less the historic, monumental sacrifices made by true Patriots and the ultimate prices that were paid by the selfless generations that came before us.

Most people live and operate in their immediate realities. Maybe they\u2019re not totally oblivious to the agony or misfortune of others, but especially in affluent places, if it ain\u2019t in their neighborhood, they won\u2019t see it. Unfortunately, we are led by whatever the current news cycles may be and \u201cIf it bleeds, it leads\u201d is what\u2019s pumped through the airwaves and fiber optics. And if that\u2019s not enough; many, many of us are dominated and even enslaved by our own selfishness.

When it comes to current world events, most times in free societies we will have varying ideas. The very First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution clearly states, \u201cCongress Shall Make No Law Prohibiting Freedom of Speech\u201d. Sadly, that First Amendment is under attack in many forums today in America, but that\u2019s another discussion for another time. Free Speech is usually not popular speech. As our Constitution states we\u2019re free to say WHATEVER we want. I don\u2019t care if you\u2019re an insane religious group, hate group, fascists, or you think Lee Harvey Oswald did or did not act alone. IT DOES NOT MATTER! That First Amendment is not designed just to protect popular speech, it\u2019s designed to protect unpopular speech! That one principal is what separates the United States from most other places in the world. Millions who came before us died to protect that sacred right, even for those who tread heavily over it now.

We are all entitled to our own opinions, but NO ONE is entitled to THEIR OWN FACTS. In the world we live in today we are flooded with false information, from ALL sides. It\u2019s incredibly difficult to separate the \u201ctruth from the jive\u201d. So we ask, \u2018how do we determine what is real from what isn\u2019t\u2019? It\u2019s more simple than you may think, just OPEN YOUR EYES!

As kids we\u2019re told if we really want to know what\u2019s going on, don\u2019t just ask one or two people, get a number of varying opinions. In free societies, if you do that, you\u2019ll start to get an idea of where the truth really is and the direction it\u2019s going. But I emphasize the word \u201cvarying\u201d. Like it or not, that\u2019s the world we live in now. I came from a time when the world was not driven by social media so I personally don\u2019t rely on that multi headed monster. I used to tell the Band not to read negative reviews of their live performances online. If 20 people don\u2019t like you, when those people post on social media, it looks like a million people. I tell the guys, \u201cdo it the old fashioned way. If you really wanna know what going on with that audience, OPEN YOUR EYES and look at that crowd. They will tell you if they like you or not\u2026.. IMMEDIATELY!\u201d Talk about your immediate gratification!

The situation in Ukraine is highly complex, more than most of us will ever know. Since the end of World War II, the United States and Russia (including the old Soviet Union) have been engaged in a proxy war. Going back and forth with the Sonny Corleone attitude of, \u201cthey hit us, so we hit them\u201d. It\u2019s been going on for almost 80 years. Does Russia, as a government have gripes with the U.S.? Having been there a number of times I can tell you they do. But overall the Russian people we have met are some of the warmest and best we\u2019ve ever known, and my heart breaks for what they are going through now and will be enduring for years to come, by no fault of their own. They too are now, and will be, casualties of war. With the things I\u2019m saying here you may ask, am I a pro Russian government sympathizer? NO I AM NOT! Ask anyone that question that knows me and they\u2019ll laugh in your face.

Actually, for combined radio, downloads and ticket sales, Moscow is W.A.S.P.\u2019s biggest market in the world. I remember many nights after shows there and I would stay up until dawn with the rock journalist and they would tell me stories about the old days when the Iron Curtain was still up. They told me they would smuggle in scratched up vinyl records into freezing cold basements of houses and listen to our first album there in secrecy. Knowing if they were caught they would be taken away to jail. The looks of fear still on their faces as they told these stories touched me greatly, and I\u2019ll remember them and the people that told them the rest of my life. So with great sadness, to all our friends and fans there we say, with truly heavy hearts, \u2019Dasvidaniya old Friends\u2026.Dasvidaniya”

I realize as I write this, most likely, I will never be able to go back.
Regardless of individual political beliefs, or who did what to whom years ago for whatever disgusting reason, the images that are coming out of Ukraine scream for themselves. The total degradation of human beings. The word I keep gritting through my teeth is \u2018Obscene\u2019. NOTHING, and I mean NOTHING can justify this invasion and or occupation by Russia of the Sovereign Nation of Ukraine. Those \u2018obscene\u2019 images of watching children, babies, the elderly, the infirm and ordinary civilians, also by no fault of their own, being utterly destroyed, displaced and the lives of an entire nation uprooted and forever changed, for no other reason than simple, godless selfishness. By a bully. And why does the bully do it?

…..Because He CAN!
It’s reported Putin\u2019s desire to annex Ukraine is because of historical significant to the old Russian Empire. I get that. But the world changes. I can tell you from being part Native American Indian (Blackfoot) that sometimes you lose your land. Period! It\u2019s just the way it is. So you move on, or die.

I\u2019ve written here about the sanctity of our First Amendment. Something both Ukraine and Russia have never known, and is dangerously close to vanishing in America. I hope one day the Ukrainian people will be able to embrace that one precious Freedom for themselves, in their own land. Because if they do, the other freedoms will follow. I do not know if anyone in the Ukraine will ever be able to read any of what is written here. But if any can, we want them to know, the world is with them.

Today, I am Ukrainian. I am a Ukrainian First. I put the Nation of Ukraine First. I put the people of Ukraine First.
\u201cGodspeed\u201d, meaning, \u201cgood fortune or, for a safe journey\u201d. \u00a0

Sincerely, Godspeed.
\u0421\u043b\u0430\u0432\u0430 \u0423\u043a\u0440\u0430\u0457\u043d\u0456!- Glory to Ukraine! \u00a0
Blackie Lawless Vocalist \u2013W. A. S. P. \u00a0

About W.A.S.P.<\/strong> Few Bands in the history of Rock N\u2019 Roll have ever incited the love, the hate, the raw emotional effect this Band has had on the world. From the very beginning, in the small venues of Los Angeles California, and later to the numerous countries worldwide that banned these Winged Assassins from performing live, the Band\u2019s unique style of Shock and Rock caused Religious organizations, Local City Councils, Parliaments, and the Washington D.C. Senate to hold hearings in an effort to bar this group from selling records and trashing stages everywhere they played.

The band\u2019s founding member, frontman Blackie Lawless, has led the group as its lead vocalist and primary songwriter since its beginning. His unique brand of visual, social and political comment took the group to worldwide heights and sold millions of records alongside a legacy of sold out shows across the globe for 4 decades.

Joined by bassist Mike Duda and guitarist Doug Blair, whose tenures in the band span 26 and 18 years respectively, along with drummer extraordinaire Aquiles Priester, will take the Band and the Fans back to where it all started. Complete with the stage show extravaganza that many fans never saw live. \u00a0
