    ONE YEAR SINCE PUSSY RIOT PERFORMANCE
    February 20 2013

    It's been one year today since three members of the all-female Russian punk group, Pussy Riot, were arrested after performing "Punk Prayer" in protest of Vladimir Putin's policies at Christ the Savior Cathedral in Moscow. Since then, two of the women have been sentenced to harsh labor camps, living in brutal conditions hundreds of miles away from their children.

    Matt Cameron was featured on Amnesty International's "Free Pussy Riot Map Project" and showed his support by wearing the "Free Pussy Riot" t-shirt at a Pearl Jam show. To find out how you can help, visit Amnesty International to sign the petition for their release.

  • Powerful stuff. I saw it trending yesterday, but that is the first time I watched it. And I have to say that I can't listen to rearviewmirror anymore, without immediately thinking of Mr. Garner when I hear:
    I couldn't breathe, holdin' me down
    Hand on my face, pushed to the ground
    Enmity gauged, united by fear
    Forced to endure what I could not forgive...

    And the sun it may be shining . . . but there's an ocean in my eyes

    interesting read

    http://www.ibtimes.com/political-capital/pussy-riot-founder-says-american-liberals-scapegoat-putin-distract-democrats

    Sirota: Vladimir Putin is typically portrayed as an authoritarian thug in the American media. Is that the accurate way to view him?

    Tolokonnikova: You see him exactly how he wants you to see him, and I think that's a mistake. Because you just don't want to really play his games. This image of being a thug is an interesting thing because if you read Masha Gessen's book about Putin, “The Man Without a Face” it shows you how he constructed this image of being a thug, though he never been really was a thug… He was that person who been beaten on the schoolyard all the time, so he just decided to make his little revenge. So he's literally man without a face when he came to power. He did know a little about politics, but he was bred by oligarchs and appointed just by chance. So he's not as powerful as you think he is. It's important. And don't treat him as a strong man or thug or whatever you want to call him, cause he's really a little insecure person. He's even more anxious than I am, and he's just trying to hide it under hyper-masculine bravado.

    most interesting to me is this exchange

    Sirota: Should the world be scared of Putin?

    Tolokonnikova: I'm not terrified of him at all. I don't think that you have to be terrified of him. He's just a guy who claims that he has power, but I claim that I have power too and you have power… If you talk here about mainstream liberal media in America, which speak a lot about Putin, I think it's just a trick, which is not easy to see... They don't really want to talk about internal American problems.

    Sirota: Do you believe the American political class and media exaggerate the threat of Putin for its own ends?

    Tolokonnikova: Yeah. They're just looking for a scapegoat and, you know, for Trump it's Muslims and Mexican workers. And for liberal media in America it is Putin.

    Yeah, I think so.  And I'm no Trump fan.  NOT AT ALL!  But I think this fits in with the thread I posted about distractions.  America is not facing it's biggest issues very well.  Not at all.
