Secretary of State Antony Blinken Plays Rockin’ In The Free World [1 HOUR LOOP]
Single channel video, color, sound, 60:03 mins, 2024
Description: The video is made from footage of Blinken’s performance in a Kyiv bar in May 2024. It has been edited so that he sings the chorus of Neil Young’s 1989 song “Rockin’ In The Free World” on repeat for an hour.
Blinken spoke to the crowd before playing the song: “The United States is with you, so much of the world is with you. And they’re fighting, not just for Ukraine but for the free world – and the free world is with you too.”
On January 14, 2025, during Blinken’s farewell keynote, a protester interrupted with the following words: “You will forever be known as Bloody Blinken, secretary of genocide! You have the blood of hundreds of thousands of innocent people on your hands!”
