In case you missed it: Free speech on trial By John Pilger
16 March 2011 — Morning Star As the United States and Britain look for an excuse to invade another oil-rich Arab country, the hypocrisy is familiar. Colonel Gadaffi is ‘delusional’ and ‘blood-drenched,’ while the authors of an invasion that killed a million Iraqis who have kidnapped and tortured in our name are entirely sane, never Continue reading

The CIA is behind the Rebellion: The Euro-American Attack on Libya has nothing to do with “Protecting Civilians” By John Pilger
The Euro-American attack on Libya has nothing to do with protecting anyone; only the terminally naive believe such nonsense. It is the West’s response to popular uprisings in strategic, resource-rich regions of the world and the beginning of a war of attrition against the new imperial rival, China. Continue reading

The Egyptian revolt is coming home By John Pilger
The uprising in Egypt is our theatre of the possible. It is what people across the world have struggled for and their thought controllers have feared. Western commentators invariably misuse the words ‘we’ and ‘us’ to speak on behalf of those with power who see the rest of humanity as useful or expendable. The ‘we’… Continue reading

The media goes to war By John Pilger
Never has so much official energy been expended in ensuring journalists collude with the makers of rapacious wars, which, say the media-friendly generals, are now “perpetual.” In echoing the West’s more verbose warlords, such as the waterboarding former Vice President Dick Cheney, who predicted “50 years of war,” they plan a state of permanent conflict… Continue reading

John Pilger: Why are wars not being reported honestly?
In the US Army manual on counterinsurgency, the American commander General David Petraeus describes Afghanistan as a “war of perception . . . conducted continuously using the news media”. What really matters is not so much the day-to-day battles against the Taliban as the way the adventure is sold in America where “the media directly… Continue reading

The Party Game Is Over. Stand And Fight By John Pilger
Born of the ‘never again’ spirit of 1945, social democracy in Britain has surrendered to an extreme political cult of money worship. This reached its apogee when £1 trillion of public money was handed unconditionally to corrupt banks by a Labour government whose leader, Gordon Brown, had previously described ‘financiers’ as the nation’s ‘great example’… Continue reading

John Pilger – For Britons, the party game is over
The game of parliamentary politics is over for so many Britons, especially the young. In 2005, a bent system allowed Blair to win with fewer popular votes than the Tories in their electoral catastrophe of 1997. New Labour’s greatest achievement is the lowest turnouts since universal voting began. Today, voters watch Brown give billions of… Continue reading

Blair must be arrested! By John Pilger
Now consider the Proceeds of Crime Act. Blair conspired in and executed an unprovoked war of aggression against a defenceless country, of a kind the Nuremberg judges in 1946 described as the ‘paramount war crime’. This has caused, according to scholarly studies, the deaths of more than a million people, a figure that exceeds the… Continue reading

A Postal Strike In Britain Is The War At Home By John Pilger
The postal workers’ struggle is as vital for democracy as any national event in recent years. The campaign against them is part of a historic shift from the last vestiges of political democracy in Britain to a corporate world of insecurity and war. If the privateers running the Post Office are allowed to win, the… Continue reading

Lockerbie: Megrahi Was Framed By John Pilger
No one in authority has had the guts to state the truth about the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 above the Scottish village of Lockerbie on 21 December 1988 in which 270 people were killed. The governments in England and Scotland in effect blackmailed Megrahi into dropping his appeal as a condition of his… Continue reading

GUEST MEDIA LENS ALERT: Turning Children Into Consumers By Sharon Beder
Children are naïve about advertising and can easily be manipulated and exploited by marketers to want and demand their products. Corporate marketers believe that over time they can be shaped into lifelong consumers with brand loyalties and that can be profitable for decades to come. What is more, children influence family spending decisions worth hundreds… Continue reading
