It rings with a salient quality (not unlike his poetic songs and music).
It is a common man’s understanding of Liberty, of Freedom of Information, of what true journalism must be.
Roger Waters is standing and delivering in a Brotherhood with the mass of humanity on basic human rights.
It shocks, even us who are steeped in information, to hear his words. This is brutal, bare truth.
In 20 minutes, Roger Waters eviscerates the pus-filled corpus of evil we like to call Empire, Five Eyes, Hegemon, the West, the Fascist Elites and the Tyranny of Global Domination.
“To think that the UK has become such a willing accomplice and satellite of the American Empire that it would do such a thing in contravention with all laws, moral, ethical, and actual legal restrictions is absolutely, stunningly appalling and makes me ashamed to be an Englishman.”
Citizens “barely have rights anymore” after the Patriot Act was adopted, and “everything is at the whim of the commander-in-chief.”
“If we let the UK get away with allowing him to be extradited to the United States, we allow the United States government, at their whim, to torture him and to detain him possibly for the rest of his life.”
Assange, along with Chelsea Manning, Edward Snowden, and other whistleblowers, “are the heroes who help us gain some of the knowledge that the [powerful] would keep secret if they could,” the Pink Floyd legend added.
According to Waters, Washington and London simply want to hush up “the matters of torture, or incarceration of innocent people,” but Assange proved to be a thorn in their side.
“And also, what they’re doing – Trump and the rest of them, and Theresa May – is to try to frighten would-be Julian Assanges who may provide this incredibly important service for the rest of us in society in the future.”

Roger Waters Claims Madonna’s Eurovision Gig in Israel to “Normalise Apartheid”
“In the context of the current conversation about the location of the Eurovision finals and the participation of Madonna and the other performers, the brothers and sisters in question are the people of Palestine who live under a deeply repressive apartheid regime of occupation and do not enjoy the right to life, liberty and self-determination,”
“To perform in Israel is a lucrative gig but to do so serves to normalise the occupation, the apartheid, the ethnic cleansing, the incarceration of children, the slaughter of unarmed protesters… all that bad stuff,” he added.
Waters also denied that his criticism of what he believes to be Israel’s violation of human rights constitutes anti-Semitism: “That accusation can be used as a smokescreen to divert attention and discredit those who shine a light on Israel’s crimes against humanity.”
Early this year, he delivered a similar message together with fashion designer Vivienne Westwood and 50 other artists. It came months after another 140 artists called for a boycott of the Eurovision in Israel.
A UN commission report in February said Israeli forces may have committed war crimes during last year’s protests at the Gaza border, when some 180 Palestinian residents of Gaza were killed by Israeli army fire.”
This is exquisitely a Freeman speaking Truth.

Marvelous . . .
Oh, this is great. Thanks, Saker.
Where are the other rock n’ rollers? The answer my friend is blowing in the wind.
“Theresa May is beyond redemption, and beyond any help… she’s presided over the greatest disaster in the history of those sceptered isles…”
Oh, well… Roger makes up for the lot of the useless guys, and then some!
