Scott Mc Kiernan Presents zReportage.com Issue #1005 Story of the Week: Published: TUESDAY September 16, 2025: ‘Drone War ‘HARPIES” by ZUMA Press photographer in Ukraine Jana Cavojska: Harpies were terrifying, bird-woman hybrid creatures from ancient Greek and Roman mythology. Today Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Unit are recruiting for their Harpies Women’s Drone Unit to help fight with unmanned attack aircraft in the war with Russia. The Harpies, a community of women, will operate drones and robotic units, while men are still part of the cadre, only female drone pilots can deliver the final strike. Harpies recruits undergo 45 days of general training and more than 30 days of specialized training, before launching combat missions. Approximately 70,000 women are serving in the Ukrainian army, a 20 percent increase from 2022. The embattled country has ramped up domestic production and procurement of drones, with plans to acquire around 4.5 million FPV drones this year to deploy against Russian forces. Welcome to ‘Drone War ‘HARPIES’

A pro-Palestinian protest took place at the Brandenburg Gate on September 13, 2025. At least 12,000 people gathered for a protest against Israel’s war in Gaza, rallying under the slogan “Stop the genocide in Gaza.” The protest was called by Sahra Wagenknecht, founder of the Buendnis Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW) party, and drew several well-known German figures, including veteran actor and comedian Dieter Hallervorden, rapper Massiv, television host Daniel Aminati, and musician Bausa. Former Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters addressed the crowd in a video message. Rock singer Peter Maffay had supported the call but did not appear in person. Wagenknecht told the rally that “every war is a crime,” condemning the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attacks that killed more than 1,200 in Israel, while accusing Israel of indiscriminate bombing and blockade of Gaza. Hallervorden called for “peace instead of grenades,” and Aminati described Israel’s actions as genocide while also noting the plight of Israeli hostages still held by Hamas. Many participants waved Palestinian flags and carried placards demanding an end to weapons deliveries to conflict zones. Across Pariser Platz, on the opposite side of the Brandenburg Gate, about two dozen people held a pro-Israel counter-demonstration. They displayed Israeli flags and banners reading “Solidarity instead of hate, against all antisemitism.” Supporters also laid flowers and displayed photos in memory of recent victims, including American activist Charlie Kirk, who was fatally shot at Utah Valley University this week, and Iryna Zarutska, a Ukrainian refugee killed in a stabbing attack in Charlotte, North Carolina, last month. Police said the Berlin protests were largely peaceful, with about 1,000 officers deployed. Organizers had expected as many as 15,000 demonstrators. Israel rejects accusations of genocide and says its campaign in Gaza is aimed at dismantling Hamas, the militant group that carried out the Oct. 7 massacre.

My friends and Colleagues:
I did not know who Charlie Kirk was 48 hours ago…
I would not have gone to his events, unless to cover as a photojournalist.
Yet I support his and anyone’s right to freedom of speech.
To be killed for politely engaging others in debate is the backbone of our country.
For a bright light to be put out for practicing that simple, basic right
…
Is so nauseating
So wrong
Kirk was not preaching my personal beliefs, YET anyone’s right to peacefully speak and engage is everything!
Forget HATE
Support the FREEDOM TO SPEAK YOUR HEART!
Can we stop preaching hate?
Instead Support WHAT WE LOVE and CARE ABOUT?
I did not care about Kirk, YET anyone’s right to Free Speech, I am 100% on your side xox
What do you care about?
What are you willing to die for?
I care about :
1. Freedom of the Press! So dear to me and dedicated my life to it! Get the truth as best I can out there and let people find theirs , with the facts as a foundations. It is 100% okay where you go with it. You can be pro or con a person or politician… FREEDOM FIRST!
2. Treating others with kind heart too. Huge
3. Treat others the way, you wish to be treated… perhaps the most important
What do you REALLY care about?
No wrong answer
I LUV TO KNOW

ZUMA PRESS made this short 90 seconds piece and it has every image that ZUMA PRESS photojournalist made on Kirk’s last moments…
ZUMA Photographer Charles-McClintock Wilson
The Last MOMENTS of Charlie Kirk
On Wednesday, September 10, 2025 ZUMA photographer Charles-McClintock Wilson was covering an event at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. Brought his wife. Roughly same age a speaker. During the event right-wing pundit CHARLIE KIRK, the CEO and co-founder of the conservative youth organization Turning Point USA, was shot and killed in front of him, feet away from him and this movie is all the images made by Charles-McClintock Wilson that fateful afternoon. Kirk, 31, a close ally of President Trump, was speaking in front of a large college crowd to kick off a tour of America, when he answered a crowd question on shootings and before he completely replied, one long range bullet ended his voice. The horrific attack is all that is left of that tragic event. Two little children will never know their loving dad.
Don’t let Freedom of Speech die on September 10th, 2025.
