However, it was also on social media that she committed an unpardonable political crime that led the thought police in Canada to cancel an upcoming performance and offer to pay her as if she played if she would just keep her mouth shut about being blacklisted. Thankfully she refused. What was Lisitsa’s crime? As she explained today on Facebook, the Kiev native was not at all happy that a coup government had taken power in her home country and was bombing its citizens in eastern Ukraine. She was particularly incensed about mendacious and one-sided western coverage of the events in Ukraine, so she responded to many of these media outlets forcefully and persuasively. For example, when the French version of Elle magazine ran a photo shoot glorifying female neo-Nazi militia members in Ukraine, Lisitsa sent the magazine evidence of their glamorized young girl’s abhorrent ideology. The magazine did issue a written apology, but in her success Lisitsa made many enemies among those powerful individuals who back the US/UK/Canada enterprise in Ukraine. So they took to a Soviet-style whispering campaign to discredit her. The smear-bund worked among what passes for cultural leaders in Canada. She was axed from performing this week with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra due to what Symphony president Jeff Melanson claimed were “ongoing accusations of deeply offensive language.” As might be expected in such a Soviet-style atmosphere, the pianist was not even afforded the opportunity to face her accusers — or even to know who they were. “Someone in the orchestra’s top management, likely after the pressure from a small but aggressive lobby claiming to represent the Ukrainian community, has made a decision that I should not be allowed to play,” she writes, referring to her scheduled TSO performances on Wednesday and Thursday. “I don’t even know who my accusers are, I am kept in the dark about it.” Pointing out that Elle was glorifying Nazis earned her a Toronto Symphony Orchestra blacklist. Toronto Symphony Orchestra president Jeff Melanson sounds like a perfect little commie commissar when he sniffs: As one of Canada’s most important cultural institutions our priority must remain on being a stage for the world’s great works of music, and not for opinions that some believe to be deeply offensive. In other words, a musician must primarily be judged not by her talent, but by her adherence to the party line. Politics first. As the Soviet Communist Party theoretical magazine Kommunist wrote in 1954, the artist must be above all subject to an ideological test: The artist who deviates from social realism serves interest alien to the proletariat and to his creative effort. So we are “back in the USSR” in Canada, eh? Poster Comment: I tried to include two of the photos of the young Nazi woman from the linked source.
Ukrainian-born, North Carolina-dwelling pianist Valentina Lisitsa is an impressive talent. Most recently she released albums of Rachmaninov Concertos and works by Liszt on Decca Records. She is known for developing a massive following with the savvy use of social media like YouTube. In 2012 she sold out the Royal Albert Hall in an event that was also live-streamed to 100,000 people.

What do people expect? Wear a swastika or call people "nigger", and you are going to get smashed. And if you rise to defend Naziism and racism against blacks as matters of free speech, you're going to get smashed too, because in truth the wars and all of the bloodshed means that no, those two particular ideas are not really free to express themselves. Too many of our people died fighting those ideas. If new people want to continue to express those old enemy ideas, then they're goint to keep getting put down - publicly - and made an example of, to keep those old demons from rising again. There is no free speech for Nazis or for racists against blacks. And there shouldn't be. Those two ideologies attacked us and killed over a million of our people. They're not entitled to equal voices in the marketplace of ideas. And whoever takes up those causes should expect to be harrassed, discriminated against and beaten down with all of the force of the public. After all, Naziism and racism against blacks was all about the strong beating down the weak. Well, the Nazis and black racists are the weak ones now, and they deserve to enjoy the full benefits of their ideology - delivered to their faces and asses. And they will get them too, because most people care more about smashing down Nazis and racists than they do about free speech. Once upon a time, people made the mistake of letting those two cancers grow. We paid a dear price for it. Cancer does not have the right to live. There is no "equal rights" for cancer. You save babies. You abort cancer. By choosing to stand up for Nazis, she permanently limited her career prospects. There are plenty of other people who can play an instrument as well as she does. That goes for any other thing that any Nazi or black-hating racist does: they are UTTERLY replaceable, and they will be replaced. So, if you're an old racist or an old Nazi, rage away. Nobody cares. Nobody will cut off your Social Security check. Yet. But if you're a young Nazi or a young racist, you adhere to an evil ideology that has no place in our society, and if you defend it, then YOU have no place in our society, and you are going to be made to eat dog shit for the rest of your life, just like you'd like to do to Jews and blacks. It's not a game, it's a war. And you're the losing side. If you want to be a dead end jihadi for the "cause" of Naziism or racism against blacks, by all means step forward. It is necessary to occasionally skin some of your type alive in front of everybody else to send the signal that, really, there is no free speech for Nazis or people who say "Nigger", and there never will be again. So if you've gotta go there, expect to die professionally. Because you will. The vast majority of us will make sure of it. Suppressing THAT is more important than the First Amendment. And it will remain so. Because a million died in the Civil War, and 100 million died in World War II, and it's not a game, and we're not going to suspend judgment and execution for theoretical nonsense. There is no freedom of speech for Naziism or racism against blacks. The First Amendment does not protect them. Cockroaches and cancer do not have rights.
She is being persecuted for oposing Nazis. Do they look the same to you?

The Nazi tats are kind of a giveaway if the swastika on the T-shirt isn't enough of a clue.
