Waters wrote an open letter to Ukrainian first lady Olena Zelenska early this month in which he blamed “extreme nationalists” in Ukraine for having “set your country on the path to this disastrous war.” He also criticized the West for supplying Ukraine with weapons, blaming Washington in particular. Waters has also criticized NATO, accusing it of provoking Russia.

“do you think they’ll drop the bomb.”

Ponder these thoughts:

1. “There is a time to take counsel of your fears, and there is a time to never listen to any fear.”
-George S. Patton

2. “Courage is not the absence of fear, but the mastery of it.” -Mark Twain

3. “No passion so effectually robs the mind of all its powers of acting and reasoning as fear.”
-Edmund Burke

4. “Keep your fears to yourself, but share your courage with others.”
Robert Louis Stevenson

I believe 2 things:

1. The end is near for Putin’s war against Ukraine
Putin’s problem is that Russia is losing the war in Ukraine

2. I believe Putin will be taken out of power one way or another. I have noticed earlier photos of Putin has large mole on left cheek, thinner face & more scooped nose. So, perhaps, he is already gone. We already know the Kremlin is dissatisfied with him.

Pink Floyd was a 1970s rock band of the kind that made music for drug addicts.

That made me laugh.

A coworker years ago described a recording session where the guy on the board putting the mix together was into various recreational drugs. They heard the tape the next day and even the mixer couldn't believe how bad it sounded. My coworker described how fast everything was on the tape as though the drugs slowed down the mixer's mind so much that it sounded normal speed to him.

That would explain the music of Pink Floyd; what sounds like overly extended notes and syrupy flows in extended length songs sounds like normal speed to the zonked out listeners.

Putin is the only real threat left to the NWO, Great Reset, whatever you want to call it. So yes they will do whatever they can to take him out. Once he is gone then things really speed up.

“Waters is living, breathing proof that idiotic people can create great music.”

He certainly isn’t the only one.

The more countries separated by differences, the less globalism. Globalism depends on saturating the earth with heavy trade and trade imbalances for slavery and control. Several globalist billionaires have said from their wishful thinking that there would be no more big wars. The current beginnings of high intensity conflict may be the end of globalism. Globalists are trying hard to fund propaganda aimed at people addled by conspiracy theories and drugs to allow countries to be invaded, occupied and enslaved to support their world market stability.

This is the man who blames Winston Churchill for killing his father, because he invaded the poor, innocents Nazis.

Waters projected his Nazi tendencies just a bit too much with "The Wall".

I can’t stand their music, but I read the text and it is pro-Nazi.

Those who hate Reagan and Thatcher should absolutely love Roger Waters. Kindred souls.

Dark Side of the Moon in the Billboard Top 200 Lps for 950 weeks - guess PF can take that to the bank!

Kind of makes my point. The album could stay on the top of the list forever as it's the ultimate mood enhancer for users of certain drugs. Which musicians are going to surpass it, especially for a whole album?

So the Polacks are mad at him, because he said something about Ukrainian nationalists, and NATO. And they are declaring him persona non grata because they are the home of freedom of thought and speech.

Ursula van der Crazy's Polish poodles are barking.

They should remember to bark at the politically correct things, lest they get even MORE sanctions piled on them.

I never used drugs, but I was a great fan of the early Pink Floyd albums. I’d invite my friends to listen, and (some of them) would say “that’s great stone music!”. I’d get upset and say “No, that’s great music!”… :)

They came to town to promote another of their early albums and I hitchhiked with my wife and daughter to go see them. Sounds crazy now but at the time people did stuff like that. I laugh now. No one in their right mind would do that now.
