...and on a lighter note

They're looking out for us. Roger Waters has come under fire for dressing like a Nazi and acting out fascism onstage, something he obviously hasn't been doing in connection with The Wall for forty odd years and which Bob Geldof in no way can be seen doing in the 1982 movie adaptation. And you'd better believe incriminating video has been making the rounds online.

We can be thankful they're finally getting around to this. It's sickening to know that Johnny Cash never faced justice for shooting that guy in Reno just to watch him die.

If you find yourself wondering who is in charge of Germany, you need look no further. Roger Waters has been a target ever since he publicly supported Palestine after first seeing the west bank barrier wall and moving a concert scheduled in Tel Aviv to Palestine:

There's a obsession among some Jews to call any criticism of Israel antisemitism.

It was reported a few days ago on RT that a German man has been jailed for three years for the crime of publicly supporting Russia on his Telegram channel.

Yep, no reckoning for Johnny Cash on that one.

Well yeah. I think there's room for debate for whether the BDS movement that he supports is the best way to seek Middle East peace (and if not, what.) But investigating him for Nazi activities due to "In the Flesh?" just insults everyone's intelligence. And it's obvious that the new cause celebre in the Ukraine has something to do with this as well.

Everyone pulled together and put in their best effort and managed to turn Europe into what it hadn't been for decades: a war zone. The guy in Germany got an unwelcome reminder of how these things go.

Many such cases, I'm sure.
