rakaman kemasyhuran British, Roger Waters Pink Floyd, memberitahu RT bahawa Amerika
Syarikat media hiburan digunakan untuk menjual serbuk sabun dan tidak memberi
rakyat Amerika berita DUNIA sebenar. Beliau juga mendakwa bahawa PBB adalah
satu badan yang rasuah, dengan Amerika Syarikat yang paling mengawal keputusan
mengundi.
Waters
mempromosikan dokumentari yang baru dikeluarkan, bertajuk "Roger Waters
The Wall," subjek apabila PBB datang. Beliau berkata dia bercakap kepada
Jawatankuasa Hak Asasi Manusia PBB pada tahun 2012 apabila terdapat undi untuk
mengiktiraf idea sebuah negara Palestin dan "meningkatkan status rakyat
Palestin untuk sebuah negara bangsa pemerhati dari status bukan
pemerhati."
"Itu
adalah satu langkah kecil ke arah yang betul," katanya kepada RT.
"Terdapat hanya sembilan undi menentang dan 130 undi memihak lulus
resolusi. Yang undi berbanding, sudah tentu Amerika Syarikat, Israel, Kepulauan
Marshall. Ia pernah dengan itu."
Waters
berkata PBB adalah satu contoh yang menarik daripada "pura-pura membuat
keputusan," namun ia perlu wujud dan itu adalah sebuah institusi yang
penting. Bagaimanapun, beliau berkata bahawa mempunyai 5 anggota Majlis
Keselamatan dengan kuasa veto adalah "tanggapan berlebihan."
"Tidak
akan perkara-perkara yang asas penting dari segi politik - terutamanya di Timur
Tengah di mana semua orang sedang berjuang orang lain keras seperti mereka
setiap masa boleh - yang boleh tidak pernah benar-benar mendapatkan sokongan
yang sepatutnya, atau banyak perkara yang boleh 't ... kecuali Amerika Syarikat
memutuskan bahawa mereka boleh."
Beliau
juga menyatakan bahawa banyak perdagangan kuda yang berlaku di sebalik pintu
tertutup, termasuk tekanan kepada negara-negara untuk mengundi sehala atau
menghadapi risiko membantu mereka ditarik balik.
"Ia
adalah sebuah badan sepenuhnya rasuah dengan niat yang indah dan sering dengan orang
yang sangat baik pada ketua perhimpunan agung - Dan lelaki agak rendah menarik
tali di belakang Majlis Keselamatan"
Waters
mengkritik media arus perdana Amerika, yang katanya menyediakan "hiburan
24 jam untuk menjual serbuk sabun." Beliau juga menuduh The New York Times
dan Wall Street Journal sebagai "jurucakap untuk kerajaan."
"Rakyat,
anda rakyat Amerika, perlu bangun kepada hakikat bahawa akhbar-akhbar dan
seluruh media tidak memberikan anda berita2 itu," kata Waters.
UN
is an ‘entirely corrupt body’ - Pink Floyd’s
Roger Waters to RT
British
recording artist, Roger Waters of Pink Floyd fame, told RT that US media is
entertainment used to sell soap powder and doesn’t give Americans the news of
the world. He also claimed that the UN is a corrupt body, with the US
controlling most voting decisions.
Waters
was promoting his newly released documentary, titled “Roger Waters The Wall,”
when the subject of the UN came up. He noted that he spoke to the UN Human Rights
Committee in 2012 when there was a vote to recognize the idea of a Palestinian
state and “raise the status of the Palestinian people to an observer nation
state from non-observer status.”
“That
was a tiny step in the right direction,” he told RT. “There were only nine
votes against and 130 votes in favor of passing the resolution. The votes
against were, of course the United States, Israel, the Marshall Islands. It is
ever thus.”
Waters
said the UN is an interesting example of the “pretense of decision making,” but
it should nevertheless exist and that is an important institution. However, he
said that having five Security Council members with veto power is “a redundant
notion.”
“There
can be things that are fundamentally important politically – particularly in
the Middle East where everyone is fighting everyone else as hard as they can
all of the time – which can never actually get the support that they deserve,
or a lot of the things can’t … unless the United States decides that they
can."
He also
stated that a lot of horse trading goes on behind closed doors, including the
pressuring of nations to vote one way or risk having their aid withdrawn.
“It is
an entirely corrupt body with wonderful intentions and often with very good men
at the head of the general assembly – and rather inferior men pulling the
strings behind the Security Council.”
Waters
was critical of American mainstream media, which he said provides “24-hour
entertainment in order to sell soap powder.” He also accused The New York Times
and the Wall Street Journal of being “a mouthpiece for the government.”
“The
people, you Americans, would have to wake up to the fact that these newspapers
and the rest of the media are not giving you the news,” said Waters.
Dokumentari baru, artis "Roger Waters The Wall," telah dikeluarkan pada Selasa dan rakaman konsert dari 2012-2013 The Wall tour Pink Floyd, terjalin dengan adegan dari perjalanan jalan dia telah mengambil untuk melawat memorial perang untuk datuk dan bapanya, yang bersama-sama terbunuh dalam Perang DUNIA I dan Perang DUNIA II, masing-masing, menurut The New York Times.

"[Filem]
menerangi apa yang kita kini menunjuk The Wall di. Kembali pada hari-hari
apabila saya berada di Pink Floyd dan kami melakukannya pada tahun 1979, ia
adalah cerita peribadi tentang saya dan kebimbangan saya. Pelbagai masalah yang
saya ada, "kata Waters. "Saya sedar baru-baru ini bahawa ia boleh
menjadi metafora lebih luas untuk semua jenis perkara-perkara yang berlaku di
politik dan sosial di DUNIA sekarang."
Bagi
peminat muzik, The Wall telah berkhidmat sebagai metafora pengasingan antara
struktur kuasa dan autoriti. Waters dari segi politik aktif dan lantang dalam
pelbagai isu, dari penjagaan orang miskin untuk veteran dan menyokong hak untuk
fox memburu hak Palestin untuk mempunyai negara mereka sendiri.
Waters
diasaskan bersama band rock progresif Pink Floyd pada tahun 1965 dengan pemain
drum Nick Mason, keyboard Richard Wright dan pemain gitar, penyanyi, penulis
lagu dan Syd Barrett. Apabila Barrett ditinggalkan pada tahun 1968, Waters,
yang berkhidmat sebagai pemain bass kumpulan itu, menjadi penulis lirik mereka,
pemimpin konsep dan Utama Bersama vokalis.

The
artist’s new documentary, “Roger Waters The Wall,” was released Tuesday and
weaves concert footage from Pink Floyd’s 2012-2013 The Wall tour, interwoven
with scenes from a road trip he took to visit war memorials for his grandfather
and father, who were killed during World War I and World War II,
respectively, according to
The New York Times.
“[The movie] illuminates what we are now
pointing The Wall at. Back in the days when I was in Pink Floyd and we did it
in 1979, it was a personal story about me and my concerns. All kinds of
problems that I had,” said
Waters. “I’ve realized recently
that it could be a much broader metaphor for all kinds of things that are going
on politically and socially in the world now.”
For
music fans, The Wall has served as a metaphor of alienation among the
structures of power and authority. Waters is politically active and outspoken
on a range of issues, from the poor care for veterans and supporting the right
to fox hunt to the right of Palestinians to have their own state.
Waters
co-founded the progressive rock band Pink Floyd in 1965 with drummer Nick
Mason, keyboardist Richard Wright and guitarist, singer, and songwriter Syd
Barrett. When Barrett left in 1968, Waters, who served as the group’s bassist,
became their lyricist, conceptual leader and co-lead vocalist.
The
band achieved international success with concept albums “The Dark Side of the
Moon,” “Wish You Were Here,” “Animals,” “The Wall” and “The Final Cut.” By
early 1982, the band became one of the most critically acclaimed and
best-selling acts in the history of popular music. As of 2013, it had sold more
than 250 million albums worldwide, including 75 million units sold in the US.
