CBC Radio on the postponement of #SpecialMilitaryOperation: Return to Ottawa. In which I respond to the Russian government's expressed concern for the safety of embassy workers. For the record, I have never pointed #LordLaser at a human being. As everyone who has ever been to a #SpecialMilitaryOperation can attest, we are scrupulous about protecting human eyes. Although I am not a state party to the Blinding Laser Weapons Treaty, I observe it. #LordLaser is not a weapon. https://www.cbc.ca/listen/live-radio/1-100-ottawa-morning/clip/16012381-laser-light-protest-russian-embassy-postponed-city-denies?share=true
Laser light protest at Russian embassy postponed after city denies permit | Ottawa Morning with Robyn Bresnahan | Live Radio | CBC Listen

The City of Ottawa, with input from Ottawa police, has denied a demonstration permit to a local group that planned to flash pro-Ukrainian messages on the facade of the Russian embassy using a laser light projector. Benjamin Wittes was planning to travel to Ottawa from Washington to put on that display.

The Ottawa police have forbidden #LordLaser from projecting at the Russian embassy in Canada's capital. They claim it would be criminal "mischief." I asked Eve Gaumond to study the question. We wrote them a memo: https://open.substack.com/pub/benjaminwittes/p/a-memo-to-the-ottawa-police?r=22ul4&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

@radbrt Thanks! If you are up for hosting, #LordLaser needs only someone who can reach out to people who might want to attend and let folks know he’s coming. It’s not a big lift.

My masterpiece, done with Chemen Or this evening at the #GatesOfHell in observance of Russia Day. It took about half an hour of trying to get the words “Putin Khuylo” (Google it) onto the flag flying atop the embassy compound. But #LordLaser got it done, and Chemen got the video. Slava Ukraini to Ukrainians everywhere. And thanks to everyone who turned out at the embassy tonight to make trouble and make sure that Russia Day festivities at the Evil Empire were maximally disrupted.

I have never taken a dime to support #SpecialMilitaryOperations against Russian diplomatic facilities, but I'm raising money for this one. I want to create a permanent home for Himar the gobo projector and #LordLaser and house a Ukrainian refugee in the process.

Would you support a project to house a Ukrainian refugee—and some spotlights?

We have corresponded periodically since, and she wrote the projected text in response to my request that she write a message for Ambassador Anatoly Antonov for me to project onto the embassy. The translation from Ukrainian was done by Catarina Buchatskiy. The audio voicing is by Luda Huntsman. The musical score was created for my friends at Goat Rodeo by the Attacca Quartet. Avery Schmitz operated #LordLaser in the live production.
