Clinton, Assange and the War on Truth
Clinton, Assange and the War on Truth Australia’s public broadcasting network gave Hillary Clinton an open mike to defame WikiLeaks’ Julian Assange as “a tool of Russian intelligence” without giving him a chance to respond, as John Pilger describes. On Oct. 16, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation aired an interview with Hillary Clinton: one of many […]
The Killing of History
The Killing of History One of the most hyped “events” of American television,The Vietnam War, has started on the PBS network. The directors are Ken Burns and Lynn Novick. Acclaimed for his documentaries on the Civil War, the Great Depression and the history of jazz, Burns says of his Vietnam films, “They will inspire our […]
Taking Nuclear War Seriously
Taking Nuclear War Seriously With remarkably little public debate, the U.S. government has raised the risk of a nuclear conflagration with face-offs against Russia and now North Korea, an existential issue that Dennis J Bernstein discusses with journalist John Pilger. Emmy-Award winning filmmaker John Pilger’s latest film, The Coming War on China, deals directly with […]

Should People Trust CBS, ABC, NBC, NYT, WP, WSJ, BBC, AP, etc.? The following facts were established and published in obscure places in 2002, well before the U.S. and UK invaded Iraq, but did you know them, from the news-reports you saw, at that time, before we invaded, on that day which will forever be […]
Australia Beckons a War With China
Australia Beckons a War With China Photo by Marko Mikkonen | CC BY 2.0 Australia is sleep-walking into a confrontation with China.

The United States is at […]
Silencing America as It Prepares for War
Silencing America as It Prepares for War Orlok | Shutterstock.com Returning to the United States in an election year, I am struck by the silence. I have covered four presidential campaigns, starting with 1968; I was with Robert Kennedy when he was shot and I saw his assassin, preparing to kill him. It was a baptism in […]
A World War Has Begun. Break the Silence.
A World War Has Begun. Break the Silence. I have been filming in the Marshall Islands, which lie north of Australia, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Whenever I tell people where I have been, they ask, “Where is that?” If I offer a clue by referring to “Bikini”, they say, “You mean the […]
Start of a New World War
Start of a New World War Propaganda about Russian and Chinese “aggression” has cloaked the reality of the U.S. and the West moving aggressively to encircle both countries, the start of a new world war, says John Pilger. I have been filming in the Marshall Islands, which lie north of Australia, in the middle of the […]
Freeing Julian Assange: The Last Chapter
Freeing Julian Assange: The Last Chapter Assange is now closer to justice and vindication, and perhaps freedom, than at any time since he was arrested. One of the epic miscarriages of justice of our time is unravelling. The United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention – an international tribunal that adjudicates and decides whether governments […]
The Revolutionary Act Of Telling The Truth
The Revolutionary Act Of Telling The Truth George Orwell said, “In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” These are dark times, in which the propaganda of deceit touches all our lives. It is as if political reality has been privatised and illusion legitimised. The information age is a […]
Kafka-like Persecution of Julian Assange
Kafka-like Persecution of Julian Assange In an era when powerful institutions demonize decent people – and the mainstream media joins in, piling on the abuse – legal proceedings have become another Kafka-esque weapon of coercion. Few cases are more troubling than the persecution of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, as John Pilger describes. The siege of […]
