Roger Waters claims he's on a Ukrainian "kill list"

[+OverSword]

Quote

 

Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters believes that he’s “on a kill list that is supported by the Ukrainian government” according to a new interview.

Not one to shy away from politics, the rocker was speaking to the Rolling Stone when he made the claim that the United States is “the most evil of all by a factor of at least 10 times.”

“We kill more people. We interfere in more people’s elections. We, the American empire, is doing all this ****.”

When asked about the multiple reports detailing Russia’s war crimes, Waters replied, “You’ve seen [those reports] on what I’ve just described to you as Western propaganda. It’s exactly the obverse of saying Russian propaganda; Russians interfered with our election; Russians did that. It’s all lies, lies, lies, lies.”

He then said that he’s “on a kill list that is supported by the Ukrainian government” after the interviewer — investigative journalist James Ball — pointed out that he had spoken to people in Ukraine as well as journalists who are covering the war on the ground.

“I’m on the ****ing list, and they’ve killed people recently.… But when they kill you, they write ‘liquidated’ across your picture. Well, I’m one of those ****ing pictures,” said Waters.

Let's just hope he doesn't decide to run for president.

Roger was a genius, and was one of my great role models growing up. But, I must admit that in the current years/decade he has almost completely 'lost his compass'. It's sad.    However, that doesn't stop me from still listening to masterpieces like Dark Side Of The Moon, Wish You Were Here, The Wall, Animals...etc. God bless you, Rog

We don't have to agree with anything he says to enjoy his music.  I love Pink Floyd music.

He should probably be more concerned with the Mossad.  He's VERY anti-Israel and never misses an opportunity to push BDS.

He's British. Does he think Britain is part of an American Empire? He sure sounds like he does.

He lives in the USA

yeah, I dunno. I doubt they would kill a high profile celebrity but they have no qualms about suggesting a prominent figure should be arrested (maybe tortured and killed) for suggesting peace should be negotiated. 

 

 

 

"Waters' claim isn't true, but it isn't completely false, either," the article says.

"There is a list maintained by a far-right Ukrainian organization that contains hundreds of thousands of enemies of Ukraine, from alleged members of the Wagner private military company to journalists accused of cooperating with puppet governments in the Donbas region.

"The site, which has been roundly internationally condemned — but not taken down by the Ukrainian government itself — claims not to be a kill list but rather "information for law enforcement authorities and special services."

The front page to the site has gruesome images of dead soldiers to welcome you to the “not-kill-list” site. Take that message for what you will.

Here is Waters listing -

https://myrotvorets.center/criminal/uoters-rodzher/

“Anti-Ukrainian propaganda. An attempt on the territorial integrity of Ukraine. Participation in attempts to legalize the annexation of Crimea by Russia. Date of birth: 09/06/1943. British rock musician, vocalist, bass player, composer, poet. One of the founding members of Pink Floyd.

Just for a little better understanding of his behavior: Roger's mother Mary was a long-time member of the Socialist Party of Great Britain. She was also the head of the party for the Cambridge district. All this had a big influence on Roger. Luckily, it wasn't reflected too much on the band while Pink Floyd was at its peak.

Well, it was reflected quite clearly in the song "Another Brick in the Wall"

Sounds like Mr Waters is already on part of UM's kill list. 

If anything, Roger has been apolitical and anti war, his dad has more of that shadow over him.

Maybe it also has an underlying mire of all things Syd too. 

This is just more of that Bushism that started it all for everyone not with 'US'

It's good that we are supplying them with appropriate weapons.

Waters has always been vehemently anti-war to the point he things Ukraine should have just surrendred to avoid conflict. He's always been this way.

 

I did just see him front row back in August, though. Amazing show.

“Paranoid went from four tracks to 16 tracks. 16 tracks!” says Ozzy Osbourne. “The temptation was to **** around with effects: we thought we were Pink Floyd meets The Beatles meets acid, y’know''?

Especially to Roger Waters.
