Russian & US UN Ambassadors Trade Taunts over Pussy Riot

[Idaho Kid]

Samantha Powers, US ambassador and wife of Cass Sunstein, said she would be honored to join Pussy Riot.  Churkin joked, "She has not joined the band?

Prior to serving as U.S. Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Ambassador Power served as Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director for Multilateral Affairs and Human Rights on the National Security Staff at the White House.  In this role she focused on issues including UN reform; LGBT and women's rights; the promotion of religious freedom and the protection of religious minorities; human trafficking; and democracy and human rights.  It is very doubtful that she has any interest in the issue of human trafficking or organ trafficking by Israelis and international Jews.

'Tour cathedrals': Russian, US ambassadors to UN trade taunts over Pussy Riot

As Samantha Power met two released Pussy Riot members in New York, Russia's Vitaly Churkin wondered if the US ambassador to the UN would join the controversial punk band and suggested a tour route. The jibe did not go unnoticed.

Power, a vocal proponent of American military interventions as a solution to human rights abuses, met Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Maria Alyokhina on Wednesday as part of their tour of the US.

During the meeting at the US mission to the UN, Power and the two band members discussed "the disturbing trend in [Russia] of legislation, prosecutions and government actions aimed at suppressing dissent and pressuring groups that advocate for fundamental human rights and basic government accountability," according to her deputy spokesman Kurtis Cooper.

When asked about the meeting, Russian UN ambassador Churkin joked, "She has not joined the band?"

"I would expect her to invite them to perform at the National Cathedral in Washington," he said. "Maybe they could arrange a world tour for them, you know."

"St. Peter's Cathedral in Rome, then maybe in Mecca in Saudi Arabia, ending up with a gala concert at the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem. So if Ambassador Power fell short I would be disappointed," Churkin said.

Power responded on Twitter, saying she would be honored to join Pussy Riot and invited Churkin to join in.

"I can't sing, but if #PussyRiot will have me, Amb Churkin, I say our 1st concert is for Russia's pol. prisoners. #LiveFromMatrosskayaTishina," she tweeted in reference to one of Moscow's oldest prisons, which is currently used as a preliminary detention center.

Tolokonnikova and Alyokhina are two of the three members of the group who stood trial on hooliganism charges for their performance at Moscow's Christ the Savior Cathedral in February 2012. The performance was conducted to produce footage for an anti-government music video, which the band later published online.

In August 2012, the three women were sentenced to two years each for the offence, but later the term for the third member, Ekaterina Samutsevich, was suspended by a court. Samutsevich is not accompanying her former co-performers on their US tour.

The two honored Pussy Riot members were granted amnesty in December 2013, a few months ahead of the end of their prison terms. Following their release they said they want to be involved in human rights activism and particularly in defending the rights of prisoners in Russia.

Their Wednesday meeting with Ambassador Power was followed by a visit to an all-star concert in the New York borough of Brooklyn, where they were welcomed by their long-time supporter Madonna.

Before joining the U.S. government, Ambassador Power was the Anna Lindh Professor of the Practice of Global Leadership and Public Policy at Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government, teaching courses on U.S. foreign policy, human rights, and UN reform.  She was also the founding executive director of the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy.

Ambassador Power is the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of "A Problem from Hell": America and the Age of Genocide (2002) and Chasing the Flame: Sergio Viera de Mello and the Fight to Save the World (2008), the basis for the award-winning HBO documentary, "Sergio."  She is also the recent co-editor of The Unquiet American: Richard Holbrooke in the World (2011).  Ambassador Power began her career as a journalist, reporting from places such as Bosnia, East Timor, Kosovo, Rwanda, Sudan, and Zimbabwe, and contributed regularly to The Atlantic Monthly, The New Republic, the New York Review of Books, and The New Yorker Magazine.

Ambassador Power immigrated to the United States from Ireland at the age of nine.  She graduated from Lakeside High School in Atlanta, Georgia and received a B.A. from Yale University and a J.D. from Harvard Law School. She is married to Cass Sunstein, with whom she has two young children.

Yankee Doodle ABSOLUTELY LOVES Vitaly Churkin.

Yankee Doodle has known - memorized - his name for probably 30 years now.  Yankee Doodle lived around Washington, DC, and, at the time of the Chernobyl accident, the arrogant bastards - you know, the ones that nuked Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and have a festering nuclear cesspool at Hanford, WA, and that have DUed Eastern Europe and the Middle East - indignantly demanded the the Russian Embassy explain to Congress what was going on, and the Embassy sent a young Vitaly Churkin.

The testimony was televised, and Yankee Doodle was home that day, and he watched, and was mesmerized as Vitaly absolutely SKEWERED the fucking inquisitor bastards.  Absolutely SKEWERED them.  From that day on, the name Vitaly Churkin has been burned into Yankee Doodle's memory.

Yankee Doodle heard the next day this comment:  "You would have thought that it was a US reactor that had blown up."

Yankee Doodle checks the Charlie Rose Show on PBS, and, if there is a guest he wants to hear, he watches it.  Several times Vitaly has appeared, and Yankee Doodle was glued to the screen.  Vitaly, now perhaps mellowed, easily talks down Rose, who reflects in his face and conduct the fact that he knows he is no match for Vitaly.

You can find a brief bio on Vitaly here:  http://www.du.edu/korbel/europecenter/events/pastspeakers.html

As regards that hideous looking Samantha Power bitch joining Pussy Riot, perhaps Yankee Doodle thinks she might not be eligible, and, even if so, he DOES NOT want to see the proof, if the appearance of the facial orifice is anything to go by.  And, the whore invited Vitaly to join, perhaps alluding to the scene in which Pussy Riot (Revolting Pussy?  Pun intended.) were photographed fornicating with some very desperate Russian men.   Somehow Yankee Doodle doesn't think Vitaly is desperate enough to participate in ANYTHING with that hideous bitch. 

Fucking ignorant bitch talking about political prisoners when the US has Guantanamo. 

This fuckiing bitch was born in Ireland, and moved to the US.  Yankee Doodle lived in Ireland, and encountered a few of what the locals would disparagingly call "returned Yanks".   Yankee Doodle encountered a few in the pubs.  These fuckers think they know more about the US than Americans do.  Yankee Doodle heard it, and had to tell one of them "I happen to have been born there."  Fucking bitch comes to the US, marries a jew, and now wants to run/fuck up the world.

Yankee, thank you for the info on Churkin.
