Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Pigs On The Wing"

DC's anarchist cartoonist Mike Flugennock's latest -

"Pigs On The Wing"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=3515


     ...Smerconish then asked, "What about our role as liberators?," 
to which Waters replied, "You have no role as liberators." When 
Smerconish pointed to the US intervention in World War II, Waters 
observed, "Thank God, the Russians had already won the bloody war 
almost by then. Don't forget 23 million Russians died protecting you 
and me from the Nazi menace."
     — Pink Floyd's Roger Waters vs. CNN's Michael Smerconish, 08.06.2022

--

In the past fifteen or twenty years I've seen some pretty sick-ass 
bastards'n'bitches drop some sick-ass takes right out in the open, not 
giving a damn who heard or cared and thinking that they were just the 
hottest goddamn shit on two legs. I've seen George W. Bush sending 
thousands of Americans to die for his lies and goading the Iraqis to 
"bring it on" from the safety of the Oval Office. I've seen Hillary 
Clinton gloating over the death of Gadhafi, burbling "we came, we saw, 
he died" and cackling like a goddamn witch, and I've seen Hillary 
melting down over the 2016 email leaks and demanding the assassination 
of Julian Assange.

Nothing, however, matches the absolute rock-bottom bloody filthiness 
of a US-funded Ukrainian neo-Nazi outfit called Myrotvorets, which has 
also apparently claimed responsibility for the car bombing 
assassination of Russian journalist Daria Dugina, about which the 
Washington Post made a right snotty show out of how few fucks they 
gave about it. These scum have compiled a friggin' 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. 
Yeah, a goddamn kill list, f'crissake.

Above and beyond the comic-book bluster of Hilldawg and Dubya, the 
bastards at Myrotvorets are actually claiming credit for 
assassinations of dissident journalists, with the funding and blessing 
of the US, and are doubling down with threats against some of the most 
prominent dissident artists of their generation.

As an artist and political dissident myself — and as someone who's old 
enough to remember the night John Lennon was stolen from us — my 
disgust is off-scale. Seriously, man. Roger Fucking Waters. Bastards.

If you #StandWithUkraine then THIS is what you stand with. Enjoy it.

"Hah, ha, charade you are...!"
