Another Brick in The Absurdity Wall

Germany investigates Roger Waters for incitement to parody

Pink Floyd star Roger Waters gave a concert in Berlin on Wednesday, May 17, and last week we learned German officials responded by investigating him for “suspicion of incitement of the people.” Berlin police sent a statement to CNN:

The context of the clothing worn is deemed capable of approving, glorifying or justifying the violent and arbitrary rule of the Nazi regime in a manner that violates the dignity of the victims and thereby disrupts public peace.

This story was media catnip and inspired an explosion of headlines. By Memorial Day, Waters completed his ascent into the Hitler-of-the-minute club, displacing Donald Trump, Jill Stein, Robert Kennedy, Vladimir Putin, Elon Musk, Trump again, and others on the media naughty list. We were reminded Waters is an antisemite and Putin-lover who supports genocide in Ukraine and “desecrated the memory of Anne Frank.” Twitter search returns for Roger Waters + scum populated.

After watching the film Sunday night to make sure, my adult mind concludes The Wall’s themes hold up 40-plus years after release. It’s a great album that sadly has more relevance now, as evidenced by this extraordinary episode of authorities attacking a satirical image as the real thing. In fact, a record that probably did seem confused and a little ridiculous in 1979 suddenly makes a lot of sense, which enhances the general feeling, which I’ve had a lot lately, that the whole world is stoned.

Weapon US gave Ukraine spotted in hands of Mexican cartel – media

A militia member was filmed with what Milenio TV believes is a Javelin anti-tank missile

A militant wearing the insignia of Mexico’s notorious Gulf Cartel (Cartel Del Golfo, CDG) has been filmed in the state of Tamaulipas carrying a US-made anti-tank missile launcher. News channel Milenio TV identified the weapon as a Javelin, thousands of which were sent to Ukraine by the Pentagon over the last year.

Updated. The missiles appear to be AT-4 missiles made in Sweden.

For over a year now Joe Biden and the Uniparty have been sending tens of billions of dollars in US cash and weapons to Ukraine. There have been no audits performed on this endless stream cash and weapons.

While Joe Biden is sending arms to Ukraine the Mexican cartels are stocking up on dangerous missiles at our southern border.
On Wednesday footage was released on Mexican TV of a Cartel Del Golfo (CDG) member in Matamoros, Mexico walking the streets with an alleged javelin anti-tank missile.

We now believe the missile is an AT4 Swedish unguided, man-portable, disposable, shoulder-fired missile.

Canada fires trigger air quality alerts for 100 million in US

More than 100 million people in America are living under air quality alerts caused by Canadian wildfires, the US Environmental Protection Agency said Wednesday.

These range from “Code Orange” — unhealthy for sensitive groups — and above, the EPA said in a statement sent to AFP.

The region “includes much of the Northeast U.S. –- extending to Chicago to the west and Atlanta to the south,” said the agency, with the Canadian wildfires presumed to be the main cause, though localized emissions and meteorology could also play a factor.

Many parts of the Northeast and Midatlantic meanwhile are under “Code Red,” an Air Quality Index (AQI) of 151 or above, considered unhealthy for all people.

Winds have carried smoke hundreds of miles from Canada’s Quebec province, the epicenter of a devastating wildfire season that has ravaged the country.

The EPA said it encouraged Americans living in affected areas to check their AQI throughout the day and take steps to reduce their exposure.

“Pay attention to any health symptoms if you have asthma, COPD, heart disease, or are pregnant. Get medical help if you need it,” it said.

While most healthy adults and children will recover quickly from smoke exposure and not have lasting effects, people with chronic diseases such as asthma or cardiovascular conditions are at higher risk.

Children, pregnant women and the elderly are also particularly advised to limit outdoor activity.

The AirNow Fire and Smoke app can be downloaded on smartphones or viewed at https://fire.airnow.gov, which includes data from both governmental and crowd-sourced air monitors.

Rumors began to circulate in the US that the smog in the Northeast could be related to 30,000 tons (60,000 pounds) of ammonium nitrate that had disappeared from a train bound for California. Many Americans note that ammonium nitrate oxidizes when exposed to sunlight, resulting in an ominous orange or reddish hue.
