US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, one of the Butchers of Gaza, recently completed a trip to Kyiv. This trip should go down as an all time international embarrassment for the United States, but it will barely register as a blip on the mainstream media. He began his trip by playing a cover of “Rockin’ in the Free World” by Neil Young with a Kyiv rock band.
Somehow the irony of playing this song in Kyiv was completely missed by him. The truth of the matter is that the song was written by Neil Young as a criticism of the George H. Bush presidency including references to his inaugural address where Bush proclaimed the US would become a “kinder, gentler” nation. The song includes lyrics such as:
Don't feel like Satan,
but I am to them
So I try to forget it,
any way I can.
This is very fitting for blood on his hands Blinken.
We got a thousand points of light
For the homeless man
We got a kinder, gentler,
Machine gun hand
This includes two references to George H. Bush’s inaugural address and criticizes the US for both their domestic and foreign policy. The Biden Regime with Blinken at front and center has failed on both these issues - homelessness and war. Homelessness hit a record high under Biden and war spending is off the charts.
Even the AP admitted that, “In fact, as numerous social media critics noted, the tune is a lament about despair and misery caused by homelessness, drug addiction and poverty in the celebrated free world.”
Many Ukrainians were not fans of the performance either.
Ukrainian analysis Oleksandr Kraiev of the Ukrainian Prism think tank said, ““So (for the) secretary of state of the United States also to go to a bar, to have a small concert for people who are blamed for not enlisting in the Ukrainian army. It’s not, let’s say, a catastrophe, it’s not a faux pas, but it’s something that is not very desirable from the point of view of common Ukrainians.”
Oleh Symoroz, a Ukrainian veteran who lost both his legs in the war, said the performance was “simply tactless and inappropriate.”
The band that Blinken played with, a local band called 19.99 was lied to into believing they would be playing with Neil Young and not Antony Blinken. As reported by the Independent:
However, the band’s guitarist, Arsen Gorbach, revealed that 19.99 were told that they’d be performing alongside the folk-rock legend himself, and were “disappointed” when they learned it would be Mr Blinken instead.
That was a reasonable response - Antony Blinken, in addition to being a war criminal, is not a professional artist and his weak performance can’t compete with the original.
After the fiasco with “Rockin’ in the Free World,” Blinken did not stop there. Dmytro Kuleba, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, and Antony Blinken went to a cute little pizza place in Kyiv.

This was later revealed by independent journalist Chay Bowes to be a Nazi cafe. Some of their art includes SS 14th Galician, Azov, and Right Sector regalia. There is also a picture of the burning of the Trade Union Building in Odessa in 2014, in which 42 people were murdered by Nazis.

What a nice place to meet with a Ukrainian official! And Blinken has not been the first famous US citizen to visit the pizzeria! As explained by Active Measures, wanted US war criminal Craig Lang also visited it:
We should all be thankful for independent journalists! Blinken is in good company with other war criminals visiting the Nazi hang out. The US congress has yet to condemn Blinken for anti-semitism for this visit. I wouldn’t hold my breath on that ever happening. Maybe if he shouted “From the river to the sea” while there, congress might have reason to act.
Thanks to the shout out to the independent journalists and the fact sharing article and the great clarity about the song and the use of it. The cafe is sickening in spite of whatever the food is like.
totally cringey and perverse... sigh. thanks for update. Yeah, the teflon factor is shocking, but the norm.
