Pigs On The Wing

In the past 20 years I've seen some sick people drop some sick takes. I've seen George W. Bush send thousands of Americans to die for his lies while goading the Iraqis to "bring it on" from the safety of the Oval Office; I've seen Hillary Clinton gloat over the death of Gadhafi, burbling "we came, we saw, he died" and cackling like a witch — but nothing matches the rock-bottom vileness of a US-funded Ukrainian neo-Nazi outfit called Myrotvorets. These scum have compiled a dossier on Roger Waters — y'know, Pink Floyd, THAT Roger Waters — and included him on their "kill list" for speaking out on Ukrainian neo-Nazism and human rights abuses, and the hypocrisy of US/NATO imperialism in Ukraine.

Beyond the comical bluster of Hillary and Dubya, Myrotvorets crew are actually claiming credit for the assassinations of journalists with the funding and blessing of the US, and are doubling down with threats against one of the most prominent dissident artists of my generation.

As an artist and political dissident myself — and old enough to remember the night John Lennon was murdered — my disgust is off-scale.
