Chess Champ Garry Kasparov: ‘They Were Trying to Break My Leg’
The Daily Beast ^ | 8/17/2012 | Eli Lake

Posted on 08/17/2012 5:32:07 PM PDT by Beave Meister

When chess grand champion and Russian opposition leader Garry Kasparov showed up Friday at the sentencing of Russian punk band Pussy Riot, he didn’t expect to spend the next five hours in the custody of the Moscow police, recovering from a severe beating.

Now, he says, after being punched in the genitals, thrown in a van and beaten by several police, Kasparov says the police have accused him of biting one of them—an allegation he denies. “They act like animals and they accuse me of biting them,” Kasparov told the Daily Beast in his first interview since being arrested. “Can you imagine what it means to bite someone when you are being beaten? There should be blood on my face. It is beyond any common sense.”

Kasparov was one of several Russian opposition leaders to rally in support of the female punk band known as Pussy Riot. The three members of the band were sentenced to two years in prison for “hooliganism” after performing a song at Moscow’s Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, in which they asked the Virgin Mary to expel President Vladimir Putin from the Kremlin. Their trial has attracted worldwide attention, with stars like Paul McCartney and Madonna appealing to the Kremlin to drop the charges.

Kasparov said he went to the trial to show his support for Pussy Riot. While he was waiting for the trial to start, he said, he was giving interviews in the area outside the court cordoned off for reporters and activists. At one point, he said, one of the reporters motioned him to come with him into the courtroom. He said as soon as he walked outside the cordoned-off area, he was rushed by seven or eight police officers.

If cops here got rough with people who vandalize property and then whine that their punishment is because of their so called art it might be improvement.

This is, in case you haven't been following the story, the homosexual lobby in Russia attacking both the state and the church for not embracing the homosexual agenda.

The charges are not because of their little sexuality, its because they engaged in vandalism in the pursuit of their agenda.

Before you ask, I also supported the caning of that Graffiti brat in Singapore some years ago.

I’m currently reading a book I downloaded from Amazon written by a Guardian (yes, I know...of all places) reporter on his experiences in Russia. It’s pretty hair raising. The KGB never ended....they simply changed names.

Just because the US has abandoned all semblances of morality, doesn’t mean we have the right to dictate to other nations that they have to do the same. It is a Russian internal matter, and our State Department needs to butt out.

Pussy riot is a feminist wing of a neo-bolshevik group “Vojna” aka “War”. Their activity is centered against a church and law-enforcement.

Another their acts are “Dick in the ass” punk performance in a courtroom, “mentopop” performance which was about robbing a supermarket wearing a mix of police uniform and a priest’s dress, burnind down one and turning upside down another police vehicle, a series of sexual assaults on police women in subways etc.

In fact some of their “comrades” were on trial for these things before, that is there this “Dick in the ass” performance from.

You can see all these faces.

“Mordovian hour” performance on May, 1 2008 (throwing stray cats into McDonald’s kitchen to feed animals with decadent food and make low-paid workforce celebrate Labor day as they claim it):

Attacks on police cadets:

Note the song in Yiddish in background. It is a Jewish bolshevik song from October revolution, which is roughly about “!@#$ the police”. AFAIK one of performers was finally shot in process.

Mentopop:

A “screw the feds” prank on KGB agent:

Burning up a police truck:

And that is their promo video:

I’m not including public orgies, sex with a frozen chicken in store etc.
They need to get jailed forever.
