Other topics include: Pink Floyd’s connections to Ibiza and the hippy trail in Europe. Roger Waters’ mysterious trips in 1961 to the Middle East, down to Beirut, with friend Andrew Rowlinson are discussed in the conversation, also the suspected connections of this area of the world with the C.I.A. In his younger days Roger Waters was advised to study architecture by the National Institute of Industrial Psychology, which sounds a tad suspicious. Roger Waters’ well-connected maternal side comes originally from British aristocracy. Roger Waters’ father, Eric Fletcher Waters, who was a schoolmaster, and an alleged communist, died in service during WWII. Christie’s previous husband had been Rock Scully former manager of the very masonic band Grateful Dead. In 1976 Roger Waters married Lady Carolyne Christie an aristocrat coming from the Lawrence John Lumley Dundas’ ( 2nd Marquess of Zetland) bloodline.

I have found Roger Waters’ picture with Ghislaine Maxwell quite telling, not because it makes him look suspect, but because the image reveals to what degree Waters is embedded in the sphere of high society (his pedigree should be quite telling anyway). This is what researcher Martin Brown does in this podcast. To a certain extent the man deserves the credit, but that does not exempt him from being placed under the microscope. Waters has been known over the years to be a “controversial” figure within the establishment, most especially due to his activism directed against the role of Israel in the Middle East, as many people know.
