Extradinary man of intelligence, diligence, impeccable journalist of all he has achieved with seeing with his own eyes what governments do. Thank you , John Piliger.
After watching this, I've realised that I've done nothing much with my life in respect of 'speaking truth to power'. From today, that changes. Thanks John.
John Pilger opened my eyes. There wasn't enough Journalism awards to give John Pilger, in my opinion. ‘It is with great sadness the family of John Pilger announce he died yesterday 30 December 2023 in London aged 84. His journalism and documentaries were celebrated around the world, but to his family he was simply the most amazing and loved Dad, Grandad and partner. Rest In Peace.’ Independent Australia is mourning the loss of John Pilger - a true legend, and a rare and fearless truth-teller until the very end. JOHN PILGER: Australia, the ultimate betrayer of Julian Assange. If Australia wants to preserve its sovereignty, it must do the right thing and advocate for Julian Assange's immediate release, declares John Pilger.
@@MikeJones-uc5eu You're seriously duped by misinformation. A subjective response to the accurate description of an objective investigative journalist.
@@MikeJones-uc5eu we have the benefit of hindsight. Why don't you go watch his old Vietnam War, Cambodian, Timor work and with that hindsight, judge whether he was telling it like it was at the time. I dare say you are probably not old enough to know whether he told it like it was or not, and therefore buy into the US war mongering propanda. p.s. he would have been described no doubt as an antiwar leftie journalist in the VN days I am sure. Be we know by everthing that has come out since, he was always spot on. P.S. You talk CCP. Why don't you mentions Kissingers Vietnam, Cambodian, Timorese, etc. and even now at 100 is cozying up to the CCP and trying to manipulate
Maximum respect and honor is due to John Pilger - a brilliant journalist and it is through his writing and articles i learned a lot of what has been going on the world and global affairs. He is to be admired for the way he has exposed the bullshit and the lies of successive governments in the West!
I've been following Pilger's work for more than ten years. He has inspired me to make my own independent documentaries. I have made two so far (available on my channel) and, having just finished the second, am gutted I lost the chance to email them to him as intended. His feedback would have been dearly cherished. I'm also preparing to upload my 2021 expose on US-UK complicity in Yemen, for which I interviewed authors David Wearing and Isa Blumi. Thanks John for your inspiration. RIP
I lived and worked as an engineer in small industries development im Cambodia from 1998 to 2017. I met and married a Cambodian lady who as a young woman suffered under Pol Pot. I was talking the other day to a young British nurse working at my uk gp surgery. She had never heard of the Khmer Rouge or Pol Pot, so sad.
The standard of 'general knowledge ' within the population has plummeted in recent years. Never mind Pol pot...try asking someone under 25 about Iraq!!! Parents are failing to meet their responsibilities in so many ways,many fail to even talk to their children.
Absolutely fascinating presentation and historical retrospective . Really enjoyed it the various clips from John Pilger’s documentaries . Unfortunately, In 2022, we can see that nothing much has changed !!
Wherever I find myself I always try to look through to the heart of any situation. I think I owe my objective eye to seeing John Pilger documentaries why I was small. I remember the blackouts and seeing World in Action about Pol Pot and Cambodia. I hated the forces enabling this. Going to Jamaica soon after opened my eyes to how seemingly small measures completely destroy the fabric of a vibrant society.. In this medley having the figures ready to roll back someone like Bill Kristol is vitally important otherwise they will steamroller you, so I'm thankful for the example of John Pilger.
holy shit look closely, louis theroux is in the audience! how cool! btw this is one of the best interviews of john pilger. great stuff,he makes me want to be journalist and says things i wish i could articulate and argue
This video saddened me greatly, not because of all the things that were shown to be lies, or even the instant conviction by their own statements of the very people that are the cause of so much of the worlds suffering, who to this day still think that might is right and voice it so vividly in their own defence. I watched this as i have watched so many of Johns works,,which have been eye openers to people like myself, and even to those who have involved themselves in the instigation of such repatious actions, who so quickly deny the facts put before them with yet more lies. It saddened me because the work of people like John Pilger will never be over, not only will they never be over but they will continue, usually getting worse as they go despite all the hard work done to try and educate mankind into sitting up and taking notice, not only to notice but to pick up the flag and add weight to the message that this has got to stop, but saddly everything points to the future as being not only a continueation but also an increase in the frequency of this unwarranted interference in other countries affairs, and the unforgivable support of others that allow it to happen. I am sure that John will doubtless be held high in the history books for his endless efforts to bring the truth to publuc notice and encorage others to follow in his footsteps even though everybthing points to a future world that seems destined to continue down the same path towards thevday when ma n kind will pay for his greed with his life.
That's a really weird thing for someone to say! Sadly though,he has now left us. His death was announced on Saturday. Who can step up and fill his shoes??
What's so sad about recent history is that America could have become a moral light of the world, but instead it chose the way of the psychopath. Empires rise and fall, I fear the next turn will bring despair to the West.
IM NOT TRYING TO PUT MYSELF DOWN OR BUM MYSELF DOWN JUST SAYING IT AS IT IS IVE SPENT MOST OF MY LIFE PUTTING MYSELF DOWN BUT ITS PEOPLE LIKE YOU JOHN WHO INSPIRE ME IM HOUSEBOUND AT THE MOMENT SO I CAN ONLY SPEAK MY MIND ON MY COMPUTER BUT ME AND MY HUSBAND ARE SORTING SOMETHING OUT....THANK YOU
I admire John Pilger so so much and think his documentaries should be on every school curriculum. Everyone needs to know the facts that governments will never ever tell us. I feel a bit conflicted though because John got world wide rights for Sam Cooke’s song “A change is Gonna Come. Why would he do that?
yeah reading about the frontline club, louis theroux has been there numerous times,i think he's even spoken there and has mentioned the frontline club to be his favorite club in london. and yeah i do think there should be another interview with pilger or even pilger himself maybe he's done it in the dvd releases of his collection of documentaries where he comments on what the situation is now in many countries he's been to and the people he's gotten the chance to spoke to.
Brian UK I don't think it was. its painfully apparent the Bush Administration neglected the threats Bin Laden planned, but 9/11 itself a government plot, nahh I think that's utter nonsense.
Yuri muckraker well, mr. glass certainly isn't a good interviewer here. what's with having YOUR GUEST read intros to his own documentary clips? the man (glass) comes of as smug, unprepared and lazy. pilger deserved better. and you're comment about 9/11 was equally odd. there was never a proper investigation into bizarre occurrences on that day that accounts for glaring omissions in NIST & 9/11 Commission reports. but "government plot" wasn't explicitly suggested by *+Brian UK*, so your 'denial' of it is peculiar...
For tbe likes of John Pilinger in this world, i take my hat off to you sir. This world has gone totally crazy, and at least two thirds of the problems within are down to the interventionism of one coutry, which it seems nobody is prepared to say enough is enough. People have become afraid to speak tbe truth about anything, even down to their real sex, all because somebody else has forced their idear onto everyone else, not only is it forced on us, the older generation but is very clearly being forced on the next generation in a very forcesful way. As was clearly indicated by the American who was it seems totally un aware of American interventionism around the world when he said that the 72 cases you could present was rediculous, this clearly shows the we have as a world a country completly off the rails and nobody at the wheel with any form of morality what so ever. I find it more than frightening that even with people such as yourself, the truth is being redacted faster than anyone can bring it to the surface. I am to many peoples annoyance, fully aware of the real problem of the Ukraine and tbe causes of same. So many who would take me to task are totally unaware of the atual wealth of Ukraine as a country, and the fact that despite this, it is a country known for not paying its bills, i am aware tbe Russia has to my knowledge wiped tbe slate clean on no less than five occasions, and we are talking billions of dollars, they are also unaware that Europe at one stage ecused Russia of not supplying the amount tbey had been billed for only for Russia to have to show them in A.B.C. METHOD tbat their gas had indeed been stolen from them by Ukraine, all in all a very good reason for Russia NOT to want to take the whole country its trouble with a capital T and the only reason for intervention was for the stability of the huge number of Russian speaking people there and their safety, as well as not wishing to have NATO sitting on its doorstep, or even the treat of same hanging over their heads. All of which comes down to one country who in fact is under threat from NOBODY AT ALL , but clearly unaware of where its own boarders are and even more so when it comes to other peoples boarders are. For me it is both amazing and frightening how little many people are aware of such things. Having been round this globe three and a half times, i have had the chance to see the ropatous degree of occupaion of the U.S. something i find people totally un aware of, and believe it or not, their unwilling ness to check for themselve or to take anyone elses word for the fact. I feel that as time progresses it will become more and more impossilbe to project the truth, and althought i do not see this a a reason for giving up, it does become soul destroying to try and explain to others. Personally i am just glad that age is on my side for being able to leave this place sooner than later, as later requires i witness more stupidity world wide.
I am from Ethiopia where i hate to to see television because of boring content John tells the truth and war is a very mistaken action of countries to involve....lying to the people make the war happen quickly i respect John Pilger
Because of John Pilger's legacy, Julian Assange must be freed. Both stand for impressive unique journalism. With John Pilger we lost a giant of truth. Let's turn up in London 20,21/1/24 Royal Court of Justice. Save Julian.

RIP John Pilger. They certainly don’t make them like they used to
You made a serious mistake. He IS the finest journalist in the world. Period.

John Pilger's research is impeccable, he is a principled man who stands based on integrity and not expedience.
It's due to his farther coming through the generation of wobbles 😂😂😂

John Pilger’s films should be on every school curriculum. Phenomenal journalist.
Such a man of courage and intellect

Why he is still a free man . He expose pentagon crime like ASSANGE. Why he walk free and ASANGE is in prison whitout justice ?
He's dead, sadly.
So-much hisory which I remember with gomuch pain and regret
Chile is part of our shame as is other S.American countries
