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.
