Pink Floyd’s co-founding frontman, Roger Waters astounded the United Nations Security Council on Monday with another epic anti-war speech.

This was the second time Waters has addressed the UN since his last incendiary speech in February 2023.

Over the past two decades at least, the controversial 81-year-old rockstar turned activist has used his platform to draw the attention of his millions of fans to various human rights and anti-war issues. He has been particularly vocal and harshly critical regarding Ukraine, Gaza and the persecution of Julian Assange – to name a few.

Waters has taken major flak from his critics of Zionism and for his pro-Palestinian stance. His latest appearance at the UN has stirred up backlash and “fury” because he was wearing a pin of the Palestinian flag throughout the speech.

In the mesmerising 12-minute monologue, Waters summed up the recent historical events that brought Ukraine to this devastating point, and the world to the verge of global (nuclear) war.

For anyone still in the dark about the truth behind this conflict, Waters’ powerful speech was an excellent condensed history lesson.

Waters put a spotlight on the dark and ugly part of the country that the corporate media in the U.S. and in Europe, has chosen to ignore or outright lie about since the conflict started; Ukraine’s neo-Nazi problem.

Waters then quoted the title of General Smedley Butler’s 1935 book; “War is a Racket”, he said. “It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious, and it is the only racket that is international in scope.”

Then he looked up and asked, “Who profits from the racket?” Whipping off his glasses and staring down the room, he answered; “Rich people do. Oligarchs.”

“Since the Second World War the racket has been our constant companion”, he lamented. “Korea, Vietnam, Kosovo, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Palestine…” There, he paused. “Well…Palestine isn’t really a war, is it?” He added, with a growl, “Don’t get me started…”
