While he takes the US into further debt, his puppet master's, the #dogsofwar & their #warmachine are about to make trillions of $'s by holding the world to ransom with their #WarToys
Capitalism thrives off war.
I’m so proud that we will be able give all kids, regardless of their socioeconomic status, access to the same quality of play. My humble thanks to so many for the support and faith in our work. Lots more news in the coming weeks… #wartoys #spielwarrenmesse
But you will have to wait a little longer to get your hands on one. We’ve got to finish the first manufacturing run and get our portion to the US and through customs… which will take as long as it takes. Especially now, we’ve given up trying to predict timelines. #wartoys
After years of development and more than a few setbacks, our first fostered products are finally hitting the market! These are the first production samples of our standalone boardgame, prepared for Spielwarenmesse - the toy industry’s largest trade event.

We just added another 20 copies of Lorissa Rinehart’s brilliant biography on Dickey Chapelle to our shop. “First to the Front” chronicles Dickey’s amazing life and career and is a page turner! wartoys.org/shop/firstto... #wartoys #dickeychapelle #photojournalist #photography #photojournalism #bio
We are honored to be working with Dickey's estate. Her family provided amazing access to Dickey’s cameras, clothing, and gear – all of which was reproduced in incredible detail by sculptor David Lea in standard 1:32 scale. Your purchase directly supports our programs: wartoys.org/programs #wartoys

“Hadil” drew her life before the war in #Syria, her dad watering a tree at home. She then drew the #refugee tent she was surviving in with her brother and sister in #Lebanon. Her father has been notably erased from her drawing of the camp. #arttherapy #childreninwar #wartoys #worldrefugeeday

At a #Syrian #refugee camp in #Lebanon, 11-yr-old “Hana” drew a seemingly happy scene of her family at dinner. She revealed it was the last time she saw her dad alive. He got up to investigate sounds of gunfire outside and was killed steps from their door. #wartoys #arttherapy #childreninwar #war

2011 outtake from Old City of Jerusalem. The kids instantly understood the account that I was working recreate. #photography #wartoys #toyphotography
Drawing by “Mahmoud,” made at the Spafford Children’s Center in East Jerusalem, 2011. #arttherapy #wartoys #childreninwar #israel #palestine #jerusalem
In East Jerusalem, local #Palestinian children play a constant cat-and-mouse game with #IDF, often throwing tiny pebbles to harass them. “Mahmoud’s” drawing shows what happened to his friend when the soldiers didn’t want to play one day. #wartoys #art #photography #toyphotography #armymen #arttoys
@wartoys.org will never be as cool as No War Toys back in the 60s. I mean, seriously… The Doors played their friggin anniversary party!! #wartoys #thedoors
6-yr-old "Iryna" imagines her cat waiting outside of her destroyed home in #Ukraine. Displaced families had to leave pets behind while running for their lives. There wasn't time to find them; the animals ran away or hid from the explosions. #wartoys #arttherapy #art #toys #cat #childreninwar

What we & our planet need more than ever, is #healing, #peace, #compassion & #empathy, & gov's that don't vote to bomb other countries.
Yet they allow the #DogsofWar wth their #wartoys & #death to do everything they can to blow up & burn our planet for their power & greed.

A few weeks ago, I got to attend an academic conference on the study of play organized by TASP in Texas. It was an honor presenting War Toys’ work and learning everything I could from fellow presenters and attendees. #wartoys #play #studyofplay
Yusef said that the yellow shape is Spongebob Squarepants. Next to him is a ladybug. And at the bottom of the page is the ISIS prison in Iraq where he was beaten and tortured to force his uncle to comply. #arttherapy #childreninwar #torture #wartoys #iraq #spongebobsquarepants #drawing #war
