We’ve seen & read what Comminism & Iran are & how they do it. We also have the Bible. we’ve seen & interacted with other humans. But the internet has dropped info that adds another source of past & current actions/ happenings. Not difficult to put two & two together & head to possibilities. Pretty plain what’s going on & has been for years. It’s not secret now. God is great & the most powerful source in the world & has plans that He has given us. I’ve accepted Him, the Father, Son & Spirit. He has been good to me. I love Him & Trust Him & continue to try my best to follow Him & He gives me strength & His mercies & joys 😊😊are appreciated.
Now that was a Truth seeker and fearless reporter of such... Imagine if he'd taken a passion for this kind of reporting once he was widely known and loved.
And another point: whatever they say in Israel is not to be taken seriously. It’s just propaganda for for a nation that is messing up with their neighbours…. 🤷♂️ “sad but true”
I watched 17 minutes of this film and knew I couldn't stomach the rest. The same propaganda and evil are happening in Ukraine. I wish everyone could see this documentary.
The media does not show how bad the Ukraine government is to it people and have no desire for democracy and does not show how Biden encouraged Ukraine to go to war with Russia and not just decide to be neutral barrier between Russia and NATO.
You have excellent observation and can connect the dots. 👍👍👍 Most people are easily manipulated and misled in the Ukraine War propaganda which in reality began in 2014, not 2022. Example, 99% of Americans believe Ukraine is winning the Ukraine War despite over $150 billions are wasted in weapon supplies, about 450,000 military casualties are Ukrainians and Russia captured most of western Ukraine. The brainwashed is very deep. 😂 Even Jesus Christ cannot help save them. 😂😂😂
Yes, the people in power, the ones who run our nation and all others, are unseen, moving in silence, and wielding their power to crush and control the masses. They are evil, and come in the name of humanity, to "help" us. I've lived below the poverty line all my life, and in my 60s, I can tell you that there's nothing as frightening as a government that comes to "help" us. Dear Lord, save us from our saviors! 😐
Who is behind The Shadow GOVERMENT of IMPERIALISM which is so Much Powerful Military Organizations similar to Jesuits Order whose Origins are The " FIFTH COLUMN"?
The same propaganda is done today in Ukraine. The same thing happened during the pandemic. A lot of people who were voicing their concerns were silenced, then and now.
I completely agree w/ you. We have no business in Ukraine: The third most corrupt country in the world. Our taxes are being embezzled by a narcissistic conman; Zelensky, why we strugglle to feed our families. Not cool!
I think the Ukraine till ran dry, the propaganda machine is all in for Palestine and Israel. All within one weekend a lot of knee jerk reactions with hawkish hot takes. Warpigs all around.
As a veteran from Iraq, it was a horror show and very sad. So many families ruined and destroyed. I gave as much as I could to children and it broke my heart that we were over there on A DAMN LIE! PLANES DON'T TAKE DOWN SKYSCRAPERS! PERIOD!
And the fact that Iraq was attacked based on the lies of both government and media, strengthens the argument wildly that perhaps the excuse was engineered too.
The destruction of your own buildings, by your own government, shows just how far the aristocracy is willing to go to justify a war to the public. Just recently the USA destroyed the nord stream pipeline, and of course they denied doing it. Many world countries had supposedly attained liberty from their colonial rulers but the truth is that the old colonial masters maintained control through puppet governments that they imposed, all in the name of furthering democracy 😏.
Ok, all the realization are good to self reflect and future references, so that next time any propagandas will be filtered and holds oneself from being war mongers. Still...those who lost still need a closure...just imagine that happen to us, our family..what do we want as a solutions...or perhaps our lives are worth more since we are 1st world country as their always proudly says..
they got people buying the whole gay agenda after all now humanity dies off and the rainbow brigade march in taking place of gays.... left left left right left, march the party line folks...........
Your reply gave me a catch in my throat, I never knew he had died. Good Lord, we have lost a very brave Daniel. ''He dared to be a Daniel, he dared to stand alone'''' God, please bless his afterlife
@mickc6347 I didn't realize Mr. Pilger died until I saw your comment. This is a decent and courageous man who will be missed by so many.❤ RIP, Mr. Pilger.
Nah another who can never again, finally was released. He took one and stood against missed out on 12 years with his family. Never Forget, Facts and Truth is needed now more than ever. Also definitions of words, and symbols of everything, time to get back to the basics strip back all the Liars, Rotten sold out souls, evilness, old, sickness, can't listen to the main news media anymore, ever again.
I was listening to this at my job around a bunch of grown men, and when the story about the soldier finding the boy and girl in the car shielded by their dead father came up I lost it and had to go cry in the restroom. I was a kid when these wars were happening and I had no understanding then. Now I'm a father myself, and this stuff really hits where it hurts.
I was 16 when these wars kicked off. And if I had been 18 probably would have joined up. There were no illusions on my end what war might entail, I was familiar with Vietnam and how that had played out. But I was under the (mistaken) impression that all of our advances in accuracy and intelligence meant civilians would be caught in the crossfire less - not *more.* And when we invaded Iraq on spurious and dubious claims it *really* gave me pause. Afghanistan I could understand, as we were told at the time Osama Bin Laden had practically stood up and proudly said he did it. Iraq I could not justify, and the fact that the wars were not *done* by the time I was old enough to join stayed my hand. 2 years of ripping their country apart did not seem even remotely proper or proportional. I didn't want to be involved in Vietnam 2.0 and I *never* expected that conflict to last nearly 20 years. Watching this documentary makes me *incredibly glad* that I had the foresight to stay out. I just wish that every vote I had cast *against* the continuation of these conflicts had born some fruit.
Who is going to hold him to account, every public office has been infiltrated by liars and cheats, and the public believe almost everything they are told.
Im from the UK. There were huge protests in london to invading Iraq which the MSM didn't show. All propaganda and that machine still rumbles on. Blair is despised by the UK public. He should be in prison for his war crimes. Blair is WEF puppet along with most other governments around the world.
Assange will never be freed he's not even in UK news anymore like he disappeared off the planet can't believe my government is complicit in this it's totally fckd up.
@@brucehansen7949 And Biden/Obama supporters wanna kill him for exposing the crimes against humanity comitted by their heroes, Hansen. Or is your name really Larsen or Jensen? Or maybe even Bøgh, Dahl or Pedersen? Peace, love and greetings from Denmark. Btw. We were lied into committing these crimes as well.
John Pilger is perhaps the very bravest and credible journalist and story-teller our civilization there is. We need more Pilgers to expose the terrors of wars.
Yup... Please check out these FACTS that are on the Web: "In 250 years of existence as a nation, the US has fought against 29 sovereign countries. (In Fact, since 1785, we have been involved, for 231 years, in some kind of war. And this wars, against all varieties of nations. From going against the Sultan of Morocco, to invading the tiny island of Grenada, 1983. Well, this means that in our entire history, we have only had 17 years of peace, and even fewer, cuz here the almost 5 years of our Civil War (Union/Confed 1861‒1865), are Not counted, since this war was not with another country, but against us. And the wars against the Native Nations of America either are not counted, for the same reason). Anyway: We fought against 29 countries. We have "Grown" 711 the size of our territory from the original 13 colonies. Our Economic, Political and Military development was established thanks to the Piracy, the Slavery, the Massacres, the Opium Trade or Cocaine Traffic, and the Weakness of many abused sovereign nations.

I have heard John before. I salute him for being honest, brave to tell us the truth. We should many John Pilgers in the Western Media. I used to listen a lot of Western Media but not now.
The USA and NATO are terrorist organisations that might is right and they lie and lie and lie to kill ,pillage, destroy any one and any country that opposes it's imperialistic ambitions and it's elistic minorities who wield power.

The Human has a Big Problem with to many Psychologic Disorders and Bias AMD that makes the Crowd on to many Places to good Visible. The Climate People works often never with the Media and I can it Understood, why that so is. The Media is a Part from the System and the Journalist can we see as Super Crime People. The People makes his self with a Smile in the Face to a Part from a Child Abuser System for a House and a Car and so far . That is the Sold for the Child Abuser and the Worker and for a House and a Car or the Mony makes the Human his self or his own Person to easy and with fun, to a Part, from a Child Abuser System . The Human is a Bad and a Cruel Creature and that makes the Human on many Places Visible. The War the Crime and many more makes it Visible that the Human a Super Big Sadistisch Problem has. The Journalists is never a Hero and that This so Right is makes the Time and that Child Abuser System Long enough Visible.
In 2004, I bought a book entitled ‘Tell me no lies” edited by John Pilger. Each chapter was written by 27 of the most eminent and ‘honest’ journalists including Sy Hersh, James Cameron, Martha Gelhorn, Wilfred Burchett, Paul Foot…. and covering geopolitical events of the past 100 years. This was a huge red pill moment for me and I often refer back to this book re-reading and re-reminding myself of just how our MSM continually lies to this day and how unworthy and untrustworthy they are, colluding with our equally untrustworthy and corrupt political leaders.
Sy Hurst 😂 honest ,really ? Why’s he telling the world it was america that blew up the Russian gas pipe when it was the British that did the terrorist attack ?
My children are 12 and 9 years of age. I will show them this documentary later today. They will watch all of it with me. I want them from a young age to know exactly what the news media in America is all about and how they're NEVER to be trusted.
Teach them that the media from the UK and EU can’t be trusted either. Teach them critical thinking skills and to trust their gut feelings. If something doesn’t feel quite right, believe it.
all parents need to teach their children about who their masters are and what they have stored for them...they program them to die ...either enslaved working all their lives or die in battle for causes unknown....just like what happened in nam, iraq, afghanistan, etc...same story keeps repeating itself...but the people are duped everytime...never learn!
@@darenhoey7458NO! The UK is its own murderous, raping, and pillaging country for hundreds and hundreds of years! IRELAND AND SCOTLAND DID NOT BELONG TO Britain! If Americans hadn't of fought hard against Britain WE WOULD BE STUCK WITH A MONARCH RIGHT NOW! Bowing down and worshiping STUCK UP ARISTOCRATS!
I have watched John Pilger since my early teens , he always asked difficult questions and pointed out uncomfortable truths . Unfortunately there is very little space for journalists of his calibre in the main stream media today.
For the victims, it is almost impossible to watch this documentary for the memories are stoked, and the pain is ever present, yet we never cease to want to see and hear more of the truth. Thank you John, we all need you, victims and all!
Its not they had accepted it,that because its a killings without reasons and justification. I think even Jesus had trouble forgives such crimes. Even those who are not involves yet very awares what this government had done, feels hard to accept the truth unless those benefiting from it. Only when the time comes everyones should know whose getting their paybacks...
In any war we have conceived we are all directly and indirectly victims. I am a victim because many I personally know were directly victimized including a few in the service. I am also a victim in general because of war!@@Lo-to7zh
Just read “deliberate dumbing down of america” and you will know why it will never be shown. Americans are feeling overwhelmed by simple gender biology already. Forget understanding complex propaganda 🤦♀️
You wouldn't be allowed to show this in a school. Standards are dictated to teachers by the state. On top of that, you would be dealing with parents and school board who are also very political. Fed a diet of America being the greatest country in the world and all that goes with it.
If in sixth grade me can call out the crap of the media and government at the beginning of the war. I can't believe a bunch of adults working in the media didn't know any better. I need twenty years prior that the government wasn't going there to win in the middle east. That being said don't forget that this documentary is also propaganda. Don't ever trust the pendulum it swings both ways to midnight
John Pilger, whilst you have characteristically dedicated this piece of journalism to others, I must recognise you for your lifetime’s work. I use the term “lifetime” deliberately as you never stop. I am a child of 1951. You and some of your colleagues have enabled me look to look through a window to views that I felt existed, but which would otherwise have remained opaque! Thank you so much.
I am relatively the same age as many of you above and am also very grateful for Pilger's dedication to truth telling. And I honestly don't know how he has kept going so strong and brave...along with many other true patriots to humanity. All while so many continue to respond to the call of the siren for continual battles and wars in the disguise of patriotic warriors of the homeland. It is always painted up and played off as patriotism with the waving flags and endless regiments of young men marching to their deaths thinking themselves proud and brave. The only ones who know the truth of the created and illusive stories are those who stand to gain so much from the sad brutal sacrifice of innocent others. And God do the deceptive creators know how to paint it up so proudly and endlessly honorable...all the way from parade to parade...while the only ones who eventually discover the truth and depth of deception now lie in graves too deep to be heard crying out their blasphemous discoveries. Will we never awaken to the deceptive game and the lying tales we are sold in the name of bravery. 😢😢😢 We do not ever deserve to be forgiven as long as we still allow the war drums to beat and call our loved ones into another bloody battle of needless death and destruction. Rather than ask forgiveness for our apathy or support of such lies...may we have the humility to ask that we rise up and loudly proclaim all over this planet...NO MORE WARS...NO MORE DEATH...NO MORE SACRIFICES...while we wave our patriotic flags over our men and women dressed in uniform, marching off to die to the sound and drum beat of endless wars. While we ourselves sing their sad songs of death. May we instead have the willingness to gaze deeply into our own souls and ask ourselves what we ourselves are really getting from this barbaric behavior we are sacrificing so many young lives for. 😢😢😢
@@briobarb8525 what's so sad is that the kids won't watch this and therfore are destined to be used for Canon fodder again and again and again for eternity
I remember feeling a great sense of shame when they started this war. So many innocent lives lost. Being a sane human being, it made me physically sick. Over a million people gone for nothing more than greed and tyranny.
Totally. Things such as the weather balloon truck that was said to be a chemical weapon lab or some such guff. I cried, or at least felt enormous pain, several times as they plundered. They looted the antiquities museum in Baghdad while no one stopped it. Beyond belief.
Not just Iraqis also lots of British, American Youth who went to war to "defend" their country 😒 and died in these wars for the interests of these Elite Old Men
@@Invading-Specious lol and that’s the difference between you and I. You “question” things on social media and go on living your life. Some of us take action for the things we believe in. Stay comfortable though.
We the common people of the United States of America demand accountability and justice for these atrocities carried out by Washington and the US government. People need to be arrested charged and prosecuted for these heinous crimes.
Which crimes??? America has been involved in sooo much, all in the name of “democracy”, and it’s not new. We pay taxes that fund the military industrial complex so we are guilty too! **** we definitely need to change! We live comfortable lives….lives that too many are unwilling to give up. **** I’m not disagreeing with anything in your comments, just saying accountability and justice will not be had in this life, but hopefully will be in the afterlife
Oh justice will come in this life. May not happen in our lifetime but it will come. Some may say the USA on the verge of losing its world reserve currency status, or the extreme moral decay, or carrying the label of a pariah nation are just a few of the judgements on the USA. Just look at how Obama is being dragged through the mud. Rather true or not, there is a stain on his legacy. Only the media hold the guilty in high regards. But ask those outside of the USA what they think, and many will show extreme disdain for the USA.
Bottom line, American people are responsible for the governments actions. Seeing shoppers yesterday at China mart , I have no hope for changing the nation for the better.
It will ever happen until the majority wake up and realize they cannot trust the government or their bureaucracies. When everyone stops watching the news, and they have zero ratings, we will know we are unified and can bring the corruption to and end.
A female friend of mine who was in the army, she's a retired Lieutenant Colonel now, said that the U.S. instigated many things but made it appear like it was the other country, and then we'd go in looking like heros to "save" that country smh
Yeah it wad all a LIE AND FRAUDULENT ALL INVOLVED SHOULD FEEL VERY ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES AS THEY ALL COMMITED MASS MURDER WITHOUT A CAUSE OTHER THEN THEIR HINGER FOR POWER AND GREED
CIA has done unbelievable things, all over, but especially in South America. The immigrants you (or your countrymen) are so against, are at the border for a reason. And when the media is in the hands of billionaires, it’s the poor kids who die in wars. WW2 was the last moral victory, thats soon 100 years of needless wars (for oil, bananas, ideology..). And your police kills more Americans in a year than terrorists. Let that sink in. The “protect & serve” guys are more dangerous than any terrorist. I dont envy you. Whenever the media stokes your fears up, think about whats behind it, what restrictive laws they want to pass or what country is about to invaded.
It's actually a well used tactic employed by many armies in many different periods. Hitler was very good at it and for Putin it's his modus operandi. Propaganda is an extremely powerful and effective tool.
One of the greatest modern journalist has died. He was true to his craft. He was a voice for so many people around the world. We will always miss his voice and great documentaries.
I feel very nauseous, ashamed, and angry. I forgot about the Fallujah Massacre, the blocking of aid, the displacement, the summary executions (sound familiar?). The horror is that the Iraq footage could have been any gross IDF Tik Tok, but it was the US military. Us. The IDF is us and we are the IDF, and make no mistake, that's OUR war, just like Ukraine is. We've learned that there's little tolerance for US kids dying or disabled for life. We're about to hire Kenya to begin the next cycle of neo-colonial Haitian rape, because it's gone out of control, due to us. We are the biggest danger to the world of the last 150yrs and our media is as controlled as Pravda ever was in the Soviet Union. I had a wonderful science teacher in the 6th grade, in 1965, who had us read an account of Hiroshima by a resident who endured it. It was completely horrific. It changed my life. It made me intolerant of Vietnam, which was beyond all that can be imagined, and is still suffering, as did our soldiers, from millions of gallons of Agent Orange (Roundup) and napalm, which the US military refused to recognize or care for our vets. But I forgot too much during the intervening years and war propaganda. These journalists are total war criminals, though. And they know it. I don't know how any of them can live, or any lobbyists, politicians or Blinken, etc, don't commit Hari-Kari (ritual Japanese unaliving). I would have to, as I'm not a psychopathic killer and have a conscience. 💔🖤🤍💚🇵🇸🍉🔻
"Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power." George Orwell, 1984
What a powerful documentary, thank you so much for showing it, I have to admit, I had to give myself a couple of twenty minute intervals during viewing because I found it so upsetting to realise how we, the public in Western democracies have become so immune to the suffering of those our governments are at war with.
nah whats upsetting is how many like you are ignorant to the very definition to government that keep towing the party line, obeying simon says without a single thought.
Rest in peace Mr John Pilger...I'm proud to be Australian because of people just like you and Julian Assange. You were a light of sobering truth during a time of utter madness. A brave and moral truth teller. You were a real journalist and an exceptional human being.
I am not in the Slightest Bit surprised by John Pilgers Revilations. Regarding Iraq, I Suspected as much. Vietnam Afghanistan Venezuela etc etc. The lies to Justify American Parents Sending their Sons and Daughter's to fight and Die in foreign Lands is Puzzling to me but not to the elite Propogandists and their Progeny. Not to mention the Suffering and Slaughter of innocent Civilians in the multy Thousands as the World has Witnessed in the last 10months in Gaza. The UK EU and USA Governments, are Guilty of Crimes against Humanity on a Scale that isTruly incompationate Evil. The Greed of these Regimes and the lengths they go to, in their World Domination is Insatiable.
My ex husband served in Iraq. And he said "we had no business being there." Troops we sent in without proper equipment and protective gear. It was an absolute sham.
A soldier, retired now, told me that Haliburton was every where. The facilities they erected were so bad the soldiers were told to wear boots in shower to prevent being electrocuted. HE also said he saw the military bury millions in equipment
We don’t even car for a declaration of war anymore!!! Obama overthrew country after country using CIA! Ukraine been one of them. We are the bad guys. Yet we have the right to remove a tyrannical government .. make no mistake they are tyrannical !
The military has hardly nothing left to fight with because Biden has give out all reserve of gas that was put there for a war . The government needs to build up military supplies we are weak because of this..I pray 🙏 we never have any wars. BIDEN and his kind are destroying America 🇺🇸 I never voted for him .Look at all the people that has died since him being in office..It's depressing to know what is going on behind the white house doors..God have mercy on us all
Who knows what going to happen during this election time. Pandemic and war? Keep prayed up. God us in control. Our biggest fear is people trying to control the outcome. It's not right or Left. It's God or no God. Choose wisely your decision is infinite.
its not just Our National journalists also feeding into everything against Our National standards and Principals but also concealing such facts which are totally against the first religious Creed and Principals. The Same Principals and Creed that started Civilization and the Human Family and Origin. Love is the Only savior of the World.
THE ISRAEL AND AMERICA TERROR REGIME IS AT IT AGAIN EVERYONE.. MULTIPLE AL JAZEERA JOURANLISTS HAVE BEEN TARGETED AND KILLED SO FAR IN ISRAEL HAMAS WAR....SO ONCE AGAIN USE YOUR BRAIN AND THINK ABOUT WHO STARTED THIS WAR AND WHAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW...WE CAN NOT KEEP IDLING AND LETTING THEM GET AWAY WITH THIS ANY LONGER...
I like how Palestine is mentioned right at the start. This video came out before oct 7, when the media claims there was peace at that time. Thanks for the honesty.
I watched it 20 years ago when I was at the Oregon coast. Think it was in March. I was bothered greatly that they were calling it "Shock and Awe" like it was some fireworks show, and what was worse was that the US media was parroting the entire thing. They should've said, "The military is calling this Shock and Awe, but it is war and people are dying and Iraq is being destroyed." The American media never showed the death and suffering of the Iraqi people. Why not? The war might have become objectionable and it might have stopped.
The problem isn't about questioning what the leaders say; the problem is that the media outlets are told what to report by government and happily report it because content makes money!
The other bigger problem is.... People STILL believe them both. And the media, despite all that was discovered and openly talked about in this doc AND well known, is worse NOW in 2023 than EVER before! Look at ALL the LIES they blatantly told about Pres Trump. They literally told us he will bring us to WW3, they told us he was losing his mental capacity (after slipping slightly on a wet metal ramp in the rain wearing dress shoes), and that he would cause financial collapse & ruin 🙄.... And every single thing these media outlets said, DAILY, could be factually debunked (and was) & as a matter of fact, the exact opposite happened .... Not only that, Briben has done almost all of those things and yet they say NOT a WORD about THAT. And people STILL repeat the media's rhetoric. Still blindly believe the main stream media, no matter how much we show them the truth. It's absolutely embarrassing that not only is the Gvmnt full of liars, but that the media is OK repeating those lies as truth without doing any investigating at all KNOWING they have lied in the past. Talk out about corruption though, as an independent journalist, watch what happens to you. And if you don't know, you can read about it right now to an independent journalist right in my own state. He was just arrested, had his electronics taken, and his sources revealed. All because he was exposing corrupt cops, a corrupt DA, and detectives. The blog is TurtleBoy Daily News, named so after a statue in Boston, MA. This is what happens when you go against the narrative these days. And that's at a small scale. Support your independent journalists. They literally are putting their freedom on the line, both big and small independent, support them. And ffs, turn off the bought news! It's nothing but lies. Even locally, they're only showing part of the story.
Rest in Peace John Pilger, you brought humanity to millions of victims of the empire. And with it sealed its fate, your works mark the beginning of its end !
Civilian deaths in WWI were 10%; Viet Nam 70%; and Iraq 90%. These grim figures illustrate and underscore the ever-growing indifference of government power to the plight of human beings! The "state" powers themselves have become non-representational entities unto themselves. The majority of us are "just here", in the background of state enterprise and ambition. We are consumers and cannon fodder and little else - until election time. It is then when these same individuals roll out "democracy" and all the other noble ideals upon which America was founded for a brief moment. The manipulative duplicity of this charade is disgusting. The mind-numbing subservience to this charade by the general public is terrifying.
You mean the American government the American government participate in Vietnam and blood on their hands as well as the American people are always cheerleading this war Ukraine that started in 2014
Mr Pilger is a journalist, a real journalist doing what the so called free press should be doing, exposing lies and corruption instead of being the mouthpiece for it. I have Immense respect for his body of work which everyone should seek out.
Another masterpiece by John Pilger. If I could force everyone in the Western world to watch it, I would. Sadly, I'll be struggling to get friends and family to watch it no matter how nicely I ask them to.
I guarantee u that many of us do not want bidets war. We struggle too to get anyone to hear us no matter how nice we protest or ask. God hears us. Just as He hears the Taiwanese & Chinese Christians praying for this nonsense power play to cease 😢
@tigermask1671 -- A lot of people throw around the phrase "Banana Republic " - That's where General Butler learned about the Racket ,in Central America and , Carribean . Big American companies needed military to enforce their policies and change governments . Mostly United Fruit Co. which is now Chiquita , sounds friendlier . Read about it all , very interesting .
In WW1 10% of casualties were civilians; In WW2 50% of casualties were civilians; In Vietnam War 70% of casualties were civilians; In Iraq War 90% of casualties were civilians; The problem is that none of these civilians were Americans.
We are in the age of where telling the truth, has become a revolutionary act, Assange being a prime example. A wise man once said; " Old men declare wars, young men die fighting it."
julian assage isnt who he seems to be yeah its wrong what their doing but hes not who he makes out to be and did wikileaks actually expose anything that wasnt already in the public arena if ya know where to look and thats the thing right there
you want to study counter intelligence look up operation unthinkable and the cherry on the cake operation gladio things are very sad and people arent been who they claim to be
@@djdarksidejungle559 Good valid point.Assange had a fallout with a close college who wanted to expose governments such as Russia,China etc only the evils of the West,and there;s plenty, matter to him it seems. I still despise what's been done to him.
My awakening, or reeducation as you call it, started in 2018. Learned the truth about 9/11. I always thought it looked wrong when the towers fell that day, almost 22 years ago now, but I never had the time to put any research into it until 2018 when my job moved bye-bye to Mexico and China. After learning the truth, I still went through about a month of pure denial. Our government just CAN'T do this to us can they?! Ya, they sure can, and they sure do. After the denial phase, it was anger. Now I'm in a phase where nothing surprises me.
Mine started much earlier, I was wondering what they were going to do in 2020 to bring in their Agenda 2021.. I was like "ohhh right" 😂 (unexpected tactic but it was certainly right on time)... needless to say I didn't mask, stay put or take the poison.
I bet you stopped right where I did. Let me guess! My tears started swelling when I saw that family being forced out of their home and the teen age girl being overwhelmed with fear of being shot dead. How horrible wars are! If only men were less greedy and more compassionate towards each other. If only each and everyone of us could put themselves in other people’s shoe
If only the evil who funds both sides of all wars weren't horrible, greedy, sadistic creatures there wouldn't be any wars.. Its a win-win for those despicable bastards for profit, depopulation, causing misery, creating fear so they can enter a country to deplete it of all its natural resources and on the way out they take the women and children, for slavery, organ harvesting and other horrific reasons... We have been sharing this earth with pure evil, it's time to finish hunting every last one down to be sure they're eradicated from this earth. Love & light to all positive, kind beings all of earth & beyond
Never trusted the media. But now it’s just confirmed I can’t trust nothing told you me. Glad I do my own search on things.this doc will be a life changer for better
me too. I'm equally embarrassed how the citizens bury their heads in endless distractions and denial when evidence does come to light instead of taking an active role in their own governing. it's too easy to blame others. unfortunately it's the go to reaction when things run amok.
I bought into so much of this at the time, and knowing what I’ve learned in the last 10 years about the media government pharmaceutical industrial military complex, I’m ashamed
Im not condoning anything nor shaming any1. But the system funnels billions of dollars annually to create and maintain they're propaganda machine in order to control its population. The goal is to turn us into unthinking walking atms. The average citizen has little chance in preventing some form of influence against this system. The hope is we learn from our experiences and keep fighting for critical thought. Atleast thats how i see it. Take care folks.
It's never too late to stand and make a little change. We all know you the American people have nothing to do with those atrocities even tho they were committed in your name. It's just your government unfortunately
RIP John Pilger - a true phenotype of a real jornalist. Real journalists need to be protected. Free Assange and let Snowden come home to a heroes welcome. Peace out.
what is incredible to me is why myself and many anti war activists could see through the lies with minimal information yet almost every journalist interviewed film seems to have swallowed the lies whole, even with all their access to info . The same holds true at this moment with the SMO in Ukraine. Here we go again! When will they ever learn, oh when will they ever learn.
Took Ucr4ine to wake me up . I was a bit setup by the end results of the Libian intervention and the very dubious and ongoin sirian intervention . Probably more will wake up
who the hell do u think finances and thus controls 'public' schools? the government! the same governments that this video exposes as corrupt and deceitful. do u really think they want to promote critical thinking in school, the sort of critical thinking that exposes their lies and corruption? read DUMBING US DOWN by john taylor gatto. and check out what comic george carlin, who has been quoted by others in these comments, had to say about 'education'. it should be called what it is, indoctrination! 'public' schools are youth indoctrination centers!
I am Portuguese and it was with the first ministry at the time, Durão Barroso, that the USA and UK began the political preparation for the invasion of Iraq. It was at the Lages summit in the Azores that these 3 leaders met. Later , for the support he gave to the USA and UK Durão Barroso was rewarded with the most important position in the EU as president of the EU . Today he is at Golden Sakes. It was with shame and indignation that I followed the lie and the war. For those who don't know, the elimination of Russia's allies in the Middle East was part of the preparation plan for the future war against Russia. Syria, Libya and Egypt followed. Isolating Russia politically was half the path to victory. But greed clouded their judgment. 90% of the Globe supports Rússia
I’ve ALWAYS maintained my believe that Russia is the “innocent” party in this Ukraine war…! SAME EVIL, WICKED TACTICS BEING DEPLOYED NOW, as was with what they did to THE CZECHS, BY THE SUDETENLAND GERMANS, in 1937/38, WHOM were the intransigent obstacle for peace..just as it is made to appear now with Russians who are the intransigent obstacle for peace.. And just as it was back then, so it is today. September 13th 1938 Britain and France DEMAND that CZECH meet the SUDETENLAND GERMANS REQUESTS…OR FACE AND FIGHT HITLER ALONE… WITHOUT THE BRITISH ASSISTANCE.. LAND FOR PEACE ..🤔
You know I always wondered why our leaders have to go to your guys's countries to promote their evil it's interesting is something living there What do you know
@jackylynn imagine if saddam still alive..israel will not go far like today. Saddam invade Kuwait not for harm their civilian. He want kuwait oil for strength his army challenge Israel. Like we seen today Kuwait is rich but useless,coward.
Scott Ritter is well worth subscribing to for his coverage of the many current conflicts. He has seen it, knows it, and communicates well. Thank you John for highlighting him.
Ritter is trading on a well deserved reputation earned during the Iraq war. What he is doing now is putting his understanding of propaganda to good use. Have you seen and heard his description of Ukrainians when he's at full rant, in his personal zone. Pure hate speech that any nazi would be proud of.
Do you know anything about his case he was convicted on?? It was a sex offense, I'm asking to see if he was set up or something like that. Things like that happen when you piss off the wrong people!
@@notsogreen I heard it was in the pipeline, par for the course on TH-cam. I dont think he ever said there were WMD in Iraq. I've only heard the opposite from him.
It's so depressing that most of the public seems to have learned nothing from the previous wars. How many times does someone/thing have to lie to you before you start to doubt their word ?
@@naijaman6639America will lose a war in these days and the public will wake up .. society does evil and now days they think nothing will happen like god doesn’t watch
As a Haitian who reside in the USA I have been against the unjust wars in Iraq Syria and Ukraine but people will parrot what they have heard from American media it's sickening tbh I totally understand what you mean brother.
The US interventions by the politicians and military industrial complex, and big corporations have justifiably earned the hate from around the world for Americans, and have created organic terrorist organizations. You see, I believe the poor people who died on 9/11 were deemed expendable in order for Bush/Cheney to attack. I believe intelligence was available but our ‘leaders’ chose not to act. Think of the trillions of dollars, how many became rich or richer on govt contracting during Afghanistan and Iraq wars? Think of the Patriot Act that was passed, now we have the feds using it against American citizens. Secret courts do not belong in a free society. FBI have abused the use of FISA. More than 1M problematic FISA warrants. They have piece by piece diminished our US Constitution to tatters. These are wicked forces at play. Greed and power hungry. God wins, no matter what occurs. They will all sit before judgement.
I absolutely cry with tears of anger and my blood rages with uselessness. Those Iraqis are my Muslim brothers and sisters and got massacred just bcuz they were Iraqis and were Muslims. You can’t imagine how much this means and to see honest and decent people like you gives me hope for humanity and the west bit. They are doing the same old proxies and war propaganda all over again in Ukraine this time
It should make us angry that humans are dying. It should not matter what religion or race they are but I appreciate that we are tribal and looking at someone of the same religion or race being persecuted in war does make us think " that could be my family or friends". I'm just fed up with the USA and I'm not alone in feeling that way
Muslims aren't trying to overtake the World, that's America and Shite Britain lying and invading countries. Whatever ethnicity, religion should not matter, innocent men women and children are being murdered by psychopathic presidents, prime ministers etc etc.
A huge THANK YOU, for reporting on those kind of things. I just wish this documental was aired on cinemas, widely everywhere to let people know and help them see.
The fact that some of those being interviewed by Pilger can still afford to defend their guilt rather in smiles after the absolute destruction of lives and societies of an innocent people is very telling of a heart void of compassion for people different from us. It pains to the core.
Irredeemably corrupt individuals, specifically the lady from the BBC and the bloke from ITV. They actually appear quite irate about being held to account, and seem to see it as an inconvenience more than anything else. The excuses or "explanations" they offer are the kinds of pathetic justifications that allow journalistic malpractice to continue uninterrupted. I really miss John Pilger. He was one of the very best there ever was and ever will be.
I am the least affected by the war and yet watching this makes me really angry and disgusted . Just imagine thow this "War for Freedom" affected the Iraqi people. And then wonder why you still believe the US and UK governments are the good guys.
imagine we knew about propoganda from ww2 and the nurenburge trail set it in stone to claim obeying orders was no excuse for crimes against humanity yet look at the world, created more evil then the german party did, mindless zealots all ignorant to the very deffinition of government, a world full of order obeying drones going sir yes sir.......
I think the choice is up to Life itself. If Life decides that it's those who are driven by 'Power' who have proven themselves to be the fittest , then the likes of me will just disappear into a corner and quietly wilt away.
Fight for freedom are you kidding me, our media lied about WMD because it was already planned to hit IRAQ although the funding for 911 attack came from Saudi officials and our congress classified most of the report and prevented family members from suing the Saudi government.
I've watched this and every other Pilger's docs, some more than once. They are all masterclasses on history, journalism, integrity, intellectual honesty, humanism, and a commitment to he truth.
He was engaged by The criminals to reveal The Truth after there plans was perfectly implemented. Wait for a documentary about the vaccine in few years where they reveal all truth about it.
Most disturbingly is that in the the decade+ since the release of this docu neither the warmongering, nor the reporting seem to prevent or reduce repeating similar atrocities. When will humanity's learning capability kick in to turn this trend?
I just love the internet and information age. Lets face it, an powerful/important documentary like this cannot be aired on national tv or any major network channels. Ignorance in our time is a choice.
I agree. Unfortunately, we’re also in a time of censorship and who knows if documentaries like this will be allowed in the future. It seems the merging between the military industrial complex and Big Pharma gives them the power to do whatever they want.
Yes. To "Ignore" Some Thing...Is ALWAYS ...A Choice- We made, make, and will continue to make. It is certainly not a condition which is "in our" time exclusively. For Me that much is clearly obvious to the point of being a dazzling display of redundancy as a statement. However, I think I know what you are meaning to say, if so I completely agree, and the point I wish to express, is a fine distinction between 2 definitive inferences whenever I hear someone use that word: "Ignorance." 1) This "choice" to disconnect ourselves, opt out, and to effectively arrest any further involvement, developments, knowledge, or understanding of a given object, subject, phenomena, or idea ("X") which we might acquire is, (in my experience) NOT the more common consensus interpretation, rather the usual meaning typically inferred is: 2) That of an "Inherent, default, sometimes understandable lack of education and or familiarity regarding ("X") ie: When one is in an unfamiliar cultural context, and might unwittingly transgress upon a certain taboo etc. The 1) condition can APPEAR as 2) at which point an observer may likely simply presume "Stupidity" at fault, hence "ignorance & stupidity" go hand in hand, and the words used interchangeably. Which, as the point of my response to Your comment is that IMO You touch on a VERY real and important issue, which I see as problematic, due to the 2 differing definitions/meanings which are easily confused when describing a person, group, or ideologue as "Ignorant." As You point out, (in This day and Age) virtually ANYONE can access information, news, and media, at their finger tips, and usually in a matter of seconds- that is a greater "Library/Hub/Bank" of info, news, media, tutorial, imagery, + much more, etc...Within the last 2 decades, than what could be accessed at ANY time in human history, and that "Bank" of internet, comprised of virtually the sum total of ALL transmittable, quantifiable, information. IF...IF a person is "savvy" and has the right stuff (Insight, experience, skills, motivation, etc) the Internet is a Superb, and Wonderful, VERY powerful tool. Undergoing massive upgrades, literally by the minute by innovative A.I. (I love it.) Yet, with that, I Hope with ALL my being, that: A) Some reckless greedy, fool doesn't launch some kind of novel alienoid, cybernetic epi-pandemic, adding to a growing collection of "dark" deadly, powerful enemies to this world and of our design. A cold, soulless, weird, continually & infinitely morphing, mutating Far & WAY faster than can be contained, and 10,000 yrs beyond our human collective's ability to even understand, (Could happen ANY time now, if it hasn't started already, perhaps via some spontaneous ghost in the machine?) Then we Dare not be sure of ANYTHING being random, in the increasing chaos, VAST Cybermetaverse & information entropy. B) The Internet doesn't become weaponized against us further by corrupted fellow human agents. Like some augmented, new breed of destructive, socio/psychopathy, megalomania, and ambition, amalgamated into a "perfect storm" powered by 210+ I.Q. Cybernetics... C) Perhaps a MUCH worse situation still...An unknown, highly intelligent bored, unemployed, teen or 20's techie, with 3 PHD level knowledge Genetic eng. Theoretical Math, & Molecular physics, with a SEVERE broken "heart", addicted to some exotic molecular "crank" + Junk food & "The Horn Pub..." & living in his Mom's fancy spread, in some unstable nation, like Jackfuckistan, who decides NOBODY is gonna ignore him anymore... Or All THREE...! !! !!! AAAHK! Oh may the Gods Help Us Then....LOL!!
If more journalists did their jobs with pride so much evil wouldn’t be being played out. Good of you to being honest in this interview. Honesty should be contagious
Incredibly informative and a bright shining beacon of truth and questioning journalism. Thank you so much for all your brilliant work John Pilger. If I have one lingering concern with regard to the Iraq war, it is that millions of us did see through the lies and propaganda and took to the streets to protest against the war in what were the biggest such protests ever seen. And yet, we were ignored and it stopped nothing. I am left with a question, 'What must we do to prevent this and stop it happening again'?
The difference is that those protests made a difference: causing LBJ to not seek re-election, the Nixon admin to negotiate a peace (after foot dragging by Kissinger) and it ended the Draft in the USA.@@vickiezaccardo1711
Civil war and the start of a new country and government, but even if you could eventually money and power you would have the same thing all over again,the coming of God is the only thing that will stop it all.
Thank you for this GREAT REPORTING. Watching this from a far, from a third world country, the current political, social and economics situation in the US and UK, not to mention the moral and ethics, is very hard to grasp. Where are the so-called good, honest, American people in every branch of government bodies and the military? People with intellect, impeccable characters and wisdom? In the 80s and 90s, many of my fellow college graduates from my country pursued their graduate degrees in the US and UK universities, which were considered as ultimate academic achievements. We always thought that the US and UK are the countries that’s blessed with many of intellects and scholars. Many of whom are Noble Prize winners. And also why do those reporters have trouble admitting their misreporting or … lies, although the TRUTHS, or facts, have been fact-checked and revealed? Do their hearts not feel anything? Have money and power covered their souls completely? What went wrong? Do they not worry about their children and next generations? I thought that they were good Christians, they preached that US and UK are Christian nations. This is not the Christian tradition I know. Someone kindly explain, please?
Putin is a despot, surrounded by yes-men. He thought he will walk in Kiev as a victor within few months, but the reality was very different. Country even more corrupt than US, the military is what it is after the total collapse of the 90s. And Ukrainian’s arent willing to turn themselves into Russians, they already know what it is, it’s still living memory. Im a Finn and willing to fight to my death in order to keep him at bay, if it comes to that.
" The first casualty when war comes is truth " U.S. Senator Samuel W. Johnson , in 1917 , speaking to the U.S. Senate , trying to keep America out of world war one .
Every citizen must watch this. Prominent academicians and economists must look into this and speak out. .... But they can't speak out, can they? Let's just share this with our friends and family
Sad to hear that veteran journalist, writer and filmmaker John Pilger has passed away, aged 84. Throughout his unique career he was a ferocious speaker of the truth, and tirelessly advocated against uright and abuse of power. Our world is poorer for his passing. May he Rest in Power!
We all who value Truth and Freedom owe to you a great debt of gratitude. I want to touch on something this particular documentary helped me to understand that which drives what has become a staggering epidemic of suicides by returning combat veterans, many ,if not most who carry an unbearable burden from what has become known as "moral injury" from what they witnessed and in many cases were made to participate.
George W. Bush lied to the soldiers he commanded. Thousands of innocent people were killed, including thousands of innocent children. This was known before the 2004 election, yet he was reelected. Any person that WANTED TO KNOW the narrative about the total collapse of WTC One and Two was false could have known before the 2004 election. It was willful ignorance that kept Americans from knowing. It is still easily possible to prove if it was, or was not, a controlled demolition that caused the total collapse of the WTC 1 and 2 buildings and the deaths of hundreds of innocent people.
It is been propagandized that those who serve at war fighting in another country is fighting for our freedom. Freedom against who? Who is trying to attack and take away our freedom? Who is trying to conquer US??!! I n reality, they are serving the oligarch's economic interest. The filthy rich are the oligarchs who funded the politicians to pass legislations to pursue their own corporate objectives. There is no fighting for freedom. It is a sham.😢
Years ago, I tried to counsel a combat war veteran. He cried in my arms, but I couldn’t help him. I eventually found a group of combat war veterans who reach out to combat war veterans struggling with what they witnessed and what they’d done. They explained to me that no one else can understand what they face, but the veteran has to be ready to ask for help. The man I was trying to help was probably 6 months or less from committing self harm. I have never felt so helpless - or at a loss for words. They call it PTSD, but it’s soooo much worse than we are led to believe. Whatever happened over there, it destroyed him in a constant reliving of the unthinkable atrocities he witnessed. He was trying to function in our regular world- but for him, it was all a lie. To this day, I urge combat veterans to seek help through programs designed exclusively for them, and by them. They know very well that those they help must be ready - so it is up to the guy who can barely function to find them … not the other way around. They don’t push. It’s the pace that the vet sets himself. Just take that one step. Ask for help. Fellow combat vets are organized and have answers. May the peace of God find all of us. Thank you great men and women who give themselves for this purpose.
@@mallariculp3551 , *YOU ARE MOST LIKELY PART OF THE PROBLEM* Do you say to others, in person, that the invasion of Iraq was based on a lie and that George W. Bush *LIED* to the soldiers he commanded?????? Have you ever taken any time to study the terrorist attack that occurred on the day of 9-11-01??? I have. For over *TEN THOUSAND HOURS.* Let me share just one single fact with you; No official investigation has yet proved if the total collapse and destruction of the World Trade Center One and Two buildings was, or was not, caused by a controlled demolition. The report of ANY and all official investigations is *PROOF* of the fact just stated. This means it is still not known what caused the murder of hundreds of hundreds of innocent people on the day of 9-11-01.
All those effort, the counseling etc...acts only as smokescreens to hides the deep guilt because noones truly misguide those soldiers, they know well the actual truth yet still doing it, covered in many kind of names ie sovereign, national security, prides, proud and arrogant, misinformation, that is if still no real remorse in yhe soul. The real cures to all the curses is to put whoever guilty of it whole theres still time. Because these wars (countless) brought by this government are real, theres really a real humans that been killed, not actors from Rambos movies, they had love to give to received, from bros, sis, of course parents...like the rest of us, and suddenly bombs falls on them not knowing anything. Many of those childs got angry at god, since they thought its gods wrath on their innocent lives. The girls planned doing homeworks together with friends ( like many of us) and suddenly all's gone...not just books .( Before the invasions, most of these country has a proper education and living standards- maybe few a bit behind, still like normal countries. If otherwise, thats just blatant lies propagandas from the invading nation. So does Libya under Muaamar. Open ur eyes..not just saying it,bjust for the sake of saying it on Net. Noone know u...
Reading War is Racket by Butler John Stockwell's CIA Whistlebloing books among others. The Creature From Jekyll Island is great too by G Edward Griffin. Glad so many people who care to educate themselves are doing that these days.
How many Americans know the story of Marine Corps General Smedley Butler and how he stopped a coup by American Industrialist against the Admistration of Franklin Roosevelt prior to WW2 at the risk of his own life. You need to!
This was the first Pilger film I saw. I subsequently purchased his entire work (the boxset) and have since been inspired 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
John was one of the very best. He is terribly missed. So glad to hear that he has inspired you. Will check out your work, thanks for sharing it here. Keep fighting for truth. We need it as much as ever ✊

The media does not show how bad the Ukraine government is to it people and have no desire for democracy and does not show how Biden encouraged Ukraine to go to war with Russia and not just decide to be neutral barrier between Russia and NATO.
You have excellent observation and can connect the dots. 👍👍👍
Most people are easily manipulated and misled in the Ukraine War propaganda which in reality began in 2014, not 2022. Example, 99% of Americans believe Ukraine is winning the Ukraine War despite over $150 billions are wasted in weapon supplies, about 450,000 military casualties are Ukrainians and Russia captured most of western Ukraine. The brainwashed is very deep. 😂 Even Jesus Christ cannot help save them. 😂😂😂
As a western born, I feel immense shame and deep sadness.
Millions of wonderful people murdered, cripled, traumatised to enrich a few psychopaths.
Now you'll have something else to apologize for . That alone is manipulation . Did you start the war ?
Yes, the people in power, the ones who run our nation and all others, are unseen, moving in silence, and wielding their power to crush and control the masses. They are evil, and come in the name of humanity, to "help" us. I've lived below the poverty line all my life, and in my 60s, I can tell you that there's nothing as frightening as a government that comes to "help" us. Dear Lord, save us from our saviors! 😐

NOW DAYS!!!!!!!!! WE ARE FIXING IT ASAP ALL LAWFUL VOTES YES!!!!!!!!! EVERY TIME!!!!!!!
You are ruled
Men doing "business."
true. but we're cowards for permitting it and anyone who disagrees is lying
...to themselves.
The same propaganda is done today in Ukraine. The same thing happened during the pandemic. A lot of people who were voicing their concerns were silenced, then and now.
And in ww2 the propaganda was insane
And the same crap is happening over January 6th
I completely agree w/ you. We have no business in Ukraine: The third most corrupt country in the world. Our taxes are being embezzled by a narcissistic conman; Zelensky, why we strugglle to feed our families. Not cool!
I think the Ukraine till ran dry, the propaganda machine is all in for Palestine and Israel. All within one weekend a lot of knee jerk reactions with hawkish hot takes. Warpigs all around.
And palistine
As a veteran from Iraq, it was a horror show and very sad. So many families ruined and destroyed. I gave as much as I could to children and it broke my heart that we were over there on A DAMN LIE! PLANES DON'T TAKE DOWN SKYSCRAPERS! PERIOD!
Even if they did (planes), Iraq had absolutely nothing to do with it…
And the fact that Iraq was attacked based on the lies of both government and media, strengthens the argument wildly that perhaps the excuse was engineered too.
The destruction of your own buildings, by your own government, shows just how far the aristocracy is willing to go to justify a war to the public. Just recently the USA destroyed the nord stream pipeline, and of course they denied doing it. Many world countries had supposedly attained liberty from their colonial rulers but the truth is that the old colonial masters maintained control through puppet governments that they imposed, all in the name of furthering democracy 😏.
Ok, all the realization are good to self reflect and future references, so that next time any propagandas will be filtered and holds oneself from being war mongers.
Still...those who lost still need a closure...just imagine that happen to us, our family..what do we want as a solutions...or perhaps our lives are worth more since we are 1st world country as their always proudly says..
You knew it was a lie and you still let your man kill innocent people?
“Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it.”

I didn't realize Mr. Pilger died until I saw your comment. This is a decent and courageous man who will be missed by so many.❤ RIP, Mr. Pilger.
Oh how sad to hear. 😢♥️🙏
Nah another who can never again, finally was released. He took one and stood against missed out on 12 years with his family. Never Forget, Facts and Truth is needed now more than ever. Also definitions of words, and symbols of everything, time to get back to the basics strip back all the Liars, Rotten sold out souls, evilness, old, sickness, can't listen to the main news media anymore, ever again.
I was listening to this at my job around a bunch of grown men, and when the story about the soldier finding the boy and girl in the car shielded by their dead father came up I lost it and had to go cry in the restroom. I was a kid when these wars were happening and I had no understanding then. Now I'm a father myself, and this stuff really hits where it hurts.
I was 16 when these wars kicked off. And if I had been 18 probably would have joined up. There were no illusions on my end what war might entail, I was familiar with Vietnam and how that had played out. But I was under the (mistaken) impression that all of our advances in accuracy and intelligence meant civilians would be caught in the crossfire less - not *more.* And when we invaded Iraq on spurious and dubious claims it *really* gave me pause. Afghanistan I could understand, as we were told at the time Osama Bin Laden had practically stood up and proudly said he did it. Iraq I could not justify, and the fact that the wars were not *done* by the time I was old enough to join stayed my hand. 2 years of ripping their country apart did not seem even remotely proper or proportional. I didn't want to be involved in Vietnam 2.0 and I *never* expected that conflict to last nearly 20 years.
Watching this documentary makes me *incredibly glad* that I had the foresight to stay out. I just wish that every vote I had cast *against* the continuation of these conflicts had born some fruit.
This is only a fractional example of the barbaric brutal USA elite's policies
I love how they show the marines lol! The us army infantry were more in numbers and did more but yes let’s show the marines lol
I hear ya loud and clear! My bloods boiling right now!!

Im from the UK. There were huge protests in london to invading Iraq which the MSM didn't show. All propaganda and that machine still rumbles on. Blair is despised by the UK public. He should be in prison for his war crimes. Blair is WEF puppet along with most other governments around the world.
It’s a wonder to me how Tony Blair isn’t in prison with Bush, Kissinger and the lot of them.
Lol, look up the Hague invasion Act

Yup... Please check out these FACTS that are on the Web: "In 250 years of existence as a nation, the US has fought against 29 sovereign countries. (In Fact, since 1785, we have been involved, for 231 years, in some kind of war. And this wars, against all varieties of nations. From going against the Sultan of Morocco, to invading the tiny island of Grenada, 1983. Well, this means that in our entire history, we have only had 17 years of peace, and even fewer, cuz here the almost 5 years of our Civil War (Union/Confed 1861‒1865), are Not counted, since this war was not with another country, but against us. And the wars against the Native Nations of America either are not counted, for the same reason). Anyway: We fought against 29 countries. We have "Grown" 711 the size of our territory from the original 13 colonies. Our Economic, Political and Military development was established thanks to the Piracy, the Slavery, the Massacres, the Opium Trade or Cocaine Traffic, and the Weakness of many abused sovereign nations. We have provoked with total impunity, 12 Genocides and 9 Massacres, ‒inside and outside our own borders‒, and Assassinations of Gov’t. Leaders, Coups d'État and Economic Blockades in 6 UN member nations. Between 1947 and 1989, the US tried to change other nations gov’ts 73 times. It includes 66 covert Ops. And 7 overt ones.

John Pilger is a true Journalist and not a presstitute like the rest of them
In 2004, I bought a book entitled ‘Tell me no lies” edited by John Pilger. Each chapter was written by 27 of the most eminent and ‘honest’ journalists including Sy Hersh, James Cameron, Martha Gelhorn, Wilfred Burchett, Paul Foot…. and covering geopolitical events of the past 100 years. This was a huge red pill moment for me and I often refer back to this book re-reading and re-reminding myself of just how our MSM continually lies to this day and how unworthy and untrustworthy they are, colluding with our equally untrustworthy and corrupt political leaders.
CORRUPTION RUN'S THIS WORLD.
wow hope i could get it too 😢😢😢
Sy Hurst 😂 honest ,really ? Why’s he telling the world it was america that blew up the Russian gas pipe when it was the British that did the terrorist attack ?
Thank you. I'll get this book.
@@standalby6949 who told you it was the British? What proof do you possess?
My children are 12 and 9 years of age. I will show them this documentary later today. They will watch all of it with me. I want them from a young age to know exactly what the news media in America is all about and how they're NEVER to be trusted.
Teach them that the media from the UK and EU can’t be trusted either.
Teach them critical thinking skills and to trust their gut feelings. If something doesn’t feel quite right, believe it.
And the uk. We are the 51'st state of the USA after all.
all parents need to teach their children about who their masters are and what they have stored for them...they program them to die ...either enslaved working all their lives or die in battle for causes unknown....just like what happened in nam, iraq, afghanistan, etc...same story keeps repeating itself...but the people are duped everytime...never learn!

I have watched John Pilger since my early teens , he always asked difficult questions and pointed out uncomfortable truths . Unfortunately there is very little space for journalists of his calibre in the main stream media today.
For the victims, it is almost impossible to watch this documentary for the memories are stoked, and the pain is ever present, yet we never cease to want to see and hear more of the truth. Thank you John, we all need you, victims and all!
Its not they had accepted it,that because its a killings without reasons and justification. I think even Jesus had trouble forgives such crimes. Even those who are not involves yet very awares what this government had done, feels hard to accept the truth unless those benefiting from it.
Only when the time comes everyones should know whose getting their paybacks...
Are you writing poetry rn?
How was you victim ?
In any war we have conceived we are all directly and indirectly victims. I am a victim because many I personally know were directly victimized including a few in the service. I am also a victim in general because of war!@@Lo-to7zh
Victims.... the instigators are your neighbors, police, military.... haha
This should be showed in schools. Educational and honest documentary. I applaud you John. Such integrity.
No time gotta learn about all the Genders and Learn English as second language. FJB and JerkAlist.
SHAME On YOUuuuuuuuuuu BBC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just read “deliberate dumbing down of america” and you will know why it will never be shown. Americans are feeling overwhelmed by simple gender biology already. Forget understanding complex propaganda 🤦♀️
You wouldn't be allowed to show this in a school. Standards are dictated to teachers by the state. On top of that, you would be dealing with parents and school board who are also very political. Fed a diet of America being the greatest country in the world and all that goes with it.
If in sixth grade me can call out the crap of the media and government at the beginning of the war. I can't believe a bunch of adults working in the media didn't know any better. I need twenty years prior that the government wasn't going there to win in the middle east. That being said don't forget that this documentary is also propaganda. Don't ever trust the pendulum it swings both ways to midnight
John Pilger, whilst you have characteristically dedicated this piece of journalism to others, I must recognise you for your lifetime’s work. I use the term “lifetime” deliberately as you never stop. I am a child of 1951. You and some of your colleagues have enabled me look to look through a window to views that I felt existed, but which would otherwise have remained opaque! Thank you so much.
Me too
You cant get better or more honest than John Pilger !
I am relatively the same age as many of you above and am also very grateful for Pilger's dedication to truth telling. And I honestly don't know how he has kept going so strong and brave...along with many other true patriots to humanity. All while so many continue to respond to the call of the siren for continual battles and wars in the disguise of patriotic warriors of the homeland. It is always painted up and played off as patriotism with the waving flags and endless regiments of young men marching to their deaths thinking themselves proud and brave. The only ones who know the truth of the created and illusive stories are those who stand to gain so much from the sad brutal sacrifice of innocent others. And God do the deceptive creators know how to paint it up so proudly and endlessly honorable...all the way from parade to parade...while the only ones who eventually discover the truth and depth of deception now lie in graves too deep to be heard crying out their blasphemous discoveries. Will we never awaken to the deceptive game and the lying tales we are sold in the name of bravery. 😢😢😢 We do not ever deserve to be forgiven as long as we still allow the war drums to beat and call our loved ones into another bloody battle of needless death and destruction.
Rather than ask forgiveness for our apathy or support of such lies...may we have the humility to ask that we rise up and loudly proclaim all over this planet...NO MORE WARS...NO MORE DEATH...NO MORE SACRIFICES...while we wave our patriotic flags over our men and women dressed in uniform, marching off to die to the sound and drum beat of endless wars. While we ourselves sing their sad songs of death. May we instead have the willingness to gaze deeply into our own souls and ask ourselves what we ourselves are really getting from this barbaric behavior we are sacrificing so many young lives for. 😢😢😢

I remember feeling a great sense of shame when they started this war. So many innocent lives lost. Being a sane human being, it made me physically sick. Over a million people gone for nothing more than greed and tyranny.
Totally. Things such as the weather balloon truck that was said to be a chemical weapon lab or some such guff. I cried, or at least felt enormous pain, several times as they plundered. They looted the antiquities museum in Baghdad while no one stopped it. Beyond belief.
Not just Iraqis also lots of British, American Youth who went to war to "defend" their country 😒 and died in these wars for the interests of these Elite Old Men
Iraq was to erase Babylonian history, i was there. Erase and then America can repeat without anyone noticing we have become Babylon.
Oil too...Such a brutal use of power.... And then the US politicians wonder where all these terrorists come from....
We made them....
Those who contributed to those war crimes by misinforming the public must still be brought to justice.

You are the light that shines in the darkness. Thank you very much.
We the common people of the United States of America demand accountability and justice for these atrocities carried out by Washington and the US government. People need to be arrested charged and prosecuted for these heinous crimes.
Which crimes???
America has been involved in sooo much, all in the name of “democracy”, and it’s not new.
We pay taxes that fund the military industrial complex so we are guilty too!
**** we definitely need to change! We live comfortable lives….lives that too many are unwilling to give up.
**** I’m not disagreeing with anything in your comments, just saying accountability and justice will not be had in this life, but hopefully will be in the afterlife
Oh justice will come in this life. May not happen in our lifetime but it will come. Some may say the USA on the verge of losing its world reserve currency status, or the extreme moral decay, or carrying the label of a pariah nation are just a few of the judgements on the USA. Just look at how Obama is being dragged through the mud. Rather true or not, there is a stain on his legacy. Only the media hold the guilty in high regards. But ask those outside of the USA what they think, and many will show extreme disdain for the USA.
It would be great , but it will never happen.
Bottom line, American people are responsible for the governments actions. Seeing shoppers yesterday at China mart , I have no hope for changing the nation for the better.
It will ever happen until the majority wake up and realize they cannot trust the government or their bureaucracies. When everyone stops watching the news, and they have zero ratings, we will know we are unified and can bring the corruption to and end.
A female friend of mine who was in the army, she's a retired Lieutenant Colonel now, said that the U.S. instigated many things but made it appear like it was the other country, and then we'd go in looking like heros to "save" that country smh
Pretty sure practically EVERY war has been instigated by the US....
Yeah it wad all a LIE AND FRAUDULENT ALL INVOLVED SHOULD FEEL VERY ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES AS THEY ALL COMMITED MASS MURDER WITHOUT A CAUSE OTHER THEN THEIR HINGER FOR POWER AND GREED
CIA has done unbelievable things, all over, but especially in South America. The immigrants you (or your countrymen) are so against, are at the border for a reason. And when the media is in the hands of billionaires, it’s the poor kids who die in wars. WW2 was the last moral victory, thats soon 100 years of needless wars (for oil, bananas, ideology..). And your police kills more Americans in a year than terrorists. Let that sink in. The “protect & serve” guys are more dangerous than any terrorist. I dont envy you. Whenever the media stokes your fears up, think about whats behind it, what restrictive laws they want to pass or what country is about to invaded.
It's actually a well used tactic employed by many armies in many different periods. Hitler was very good at it and for Putin it's his modus operandi. Propaganda is an extremely powerful and effective tool.
No shit
One of the greatest modern journalist has died. He was true to his craft. He was a voice for so many people around the world. We will always miss his voice and great documentaries.

Everything would need to be redone . We are all slaves on a plantation
It's up to us whitehead
I feel very nauseous, ashamed, and angry. I forgot about the Fallujah Massacre, the blocking of aid, the displacement, the summary executions (sound familiar?). The horror is that the Iraq footage could have been any gross IDF Tik Tok, but it was the US military. Us. The IDF is us and we are the IDF, and make no mistake, that's OUR war, just like Ukraine is. We've learned that there's little tolerance for US kids dying or disabled for life. We're about to hire Kenya to begin the next cycle of neo-colonial Haitian rape, because it's gone out of control, due to us. We are the biggest danger to the world of the last 150yrs and our media is as controlled as Pravda ever was in the Soviet Union. I had a wonderful science teacher in the 6th grade, in 1965, who had us read an account of Hiroshima by a resident who endured it. It was completely horrific. It changed my life. It made me intolerant of Vietnam, which was beyond all that can be imagined, and is still suffering, as did our soldiers, from millions of gallons of Agent Orange (Roundup) and napalm, which the US military refused to recognize or care for our vets. But I forgot too much during the intervening years and war propaganda. These journalists are total war criminals, though. And they know it. I don't know how any of them can live, or any lobbyists, politicians or Blinken, etc, don't commit Hari-Kari (ritual Japanese unaliving). I would have to, as I'm not a psychopathic killer and have a conscience.

Right. The government is in a position to teach their subjects to question what the government tells them.
"Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power."

What a powerful documentary, thank you so much for showing it, I have to admit, I had to give myself a couple of twenty minute intervals during viewing because I found it so upsetting to realise how we, the public in Western democracies have become so immune to the suffering of those our governments are at war with.
nah whats upsetting is how many like you are ignorant to the very definition to government that keep towing the party line, obeying simon says without a single thought.
As an American citizen that doesn't support any war,I am truly sorry for what our government does
QUITE SAD YOU HAVING NAZI AWARENESS AND FEELING "BAD" WHILE PEOPLE ARE BEING KILLED WITH YOUR ID SUPPORT, VOTING AND TAXES
George Bush, Tony Blair, John Howard of Australia, all war criminals, all alive today; they should be charged for their crimes
14:25 That young teenager upset at being forced from her home got to me. These scenes regardless must be unsettling for anyone.
Rest in peace Mr John Pilger...I'm proud to be Australian because of people just like you and Julian Assange. You were a light of sobering truth during a time of utter madness. A brave and moral truth teller. You were a real journalist and an exceptional human being.
I am not in the Slightest Bit surprised by John Pilgers Revilations. Regarding Iraq, I Suspected as much. Vietnam Afghanistan Venezuela etc etc. The lies to Justify American Parents Sending their Sons and Daughter's to fight and Die in foreign Lands is Puzzling to me but not to the elite Propogandists and their Progeny. Not to mention the Suffering and Slaughter of innocent Civilians in the multy Thousands as the World has Witnessed in the last 10months in Gaza. The UK EU and USA Governments, are Guilty of Crimes against Humanity on a Scale that isTruly incompationate Evil. The Greed of these Regimes and the lengths they go to, in their World Domination is Insatiable.
What a great documentary that everyone must see and share.
Thank you John Pilger 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
My ex husband served in Iraq. And he said "we had no business being there." Troops we sent in without proper equipment and protective gear. It was an absolute sham.
A soldier, retired now, told me that Haliburton was every where. The facilities they erected were so bad the soldiers were told to wear boots in shower to prevent being electrocuted. HE also said he saw the military bury millions in equipment
OMG. I thought that only in the Russian army before the war it was necessary to go to a military store. It seems I was wrong..
We don’t even car for a declaration of war anymore!!! Obama overthrew country after country using CIA! Ukraine been one of them. We are the bad guys. Yet we have the right to remove a tyrannical government .. make no mistake they are tyrannical !
The military has hardly nothing left to fight with because Biden has give out all reserve of gas that was put there for a war . The government needs to build up military supplies we are weak because of this..I pray 🙏 we never have any wars. BIDEN and his kind are destroying America 🇺🇸 I never voted for him .Look at all the people that has died since him being in office..It's depressing to know what is going on behind the white house doors..God have mercy on us all
Who knows what going to happen during this election time. Pandemic and war? Keep prayed up. God us in control. Our biggest fear is people trying to control the outcome. It's not right or Left. It's God or no God. Choose wisely your decision is infinite.
Crazy how so many of the inhumane journalists you showed are still working those same jobs today. The whole world should see this documentary.
Yes, they are , along with their smug behavior.
its not just Our National journalists also feeding into everything against Our National standards and Principals but also concealing such facts which are totally against the first religious Creed and Principals. The Same Principals and Creed that started Civilization and the Human Family and Origin. Love is the Only savior of the World.
THE ISRAEL AND AMERICA TERROR REGIME IS AT IT AGAIN EVERYONE.. MULTIPLE AL JAZEERA JOURANLISTS HAVE BEEN TARGETED AND KILLED SO FAR IN ISRAEL HAMAS WAR....SO ONCE AGAIN USE YOUR BRAIN AND THINK ABOUT WHO STARTED THIS WAR AND WHAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW...WE CAN NOT KEEP IDLING AND LETTING THEM GET AWAY WITH THIS ANY LONGER...
Let children be children..there is time to learn about the horror show
Don't call them "jornalists they are not.
I like how Palestine is mentioned right at the start. This video came out before oct 7, when the media claims there was peace at that time. Thanks for the honesty.
There hasn’t been peace there for a long time. Our news is controlled and Zionist
I watched it 20 years ago when I was at the Oregon coast. Think it was in March. I was bothered greatly that they were calling it "Shock and Awe" like it was some fireworks show, and what was worse was that the US media was parroting the entire thing. They should've said, "The military is calling this Shock and Awe, but it is war and people are dying and Iraq is being destroyed." The American media never showed the death and suffering of the Iraqi people. Why not? The war might have become objectionable and it might have stopped.
That’s the point of embedded journalism. They learnt from Vietnam and knew they need to control the press.
Watch again and again to never forget the lies we were fed.
The very same “people” do the the same in ukraine these days
The problem isn't about questioning what the leaders say; the problem is that the media outlets are told what to report by government and happily report it because content makes money!

The other bigger problem is.... People STILL believe them both. And the media, despite all that was discovered and openly talked about in this doc AND well known, is worse NOW in 2023 than EVER before! Look at ALL the LIES they blatantly told about Pres Trump. They literally told us he will bring us to WW3, they told us he was losing his mental capacity (after slipping slightly on a wet metal ramp in the rain wearing dress shoes), and that he would cause financial collapse & ruin 🙄.... And every single thing these media outlets said, DAILY, could be factually debunked (and was) & as a matter of fact, the exact opposite happened .... Not only that, Briben has done almost all of those things and yet they say NOT a WORD about THAT.
And people STILL repeat the media's rhetoric. Still blindly believe the main stream media, no matter how much we show them the truth. It's absolutely embarrassing that not only is the Gvmnt full of liars, but that the media is OK repeating those lies as truth without doing any investigating at all KNOWING they have lied in the past.
Talk out about corruption though, as an independent journalist, watch what happens to you. And if you don't know, you can read about it right now to an independent journalist right in my own state. He was just arrested, had his electronics taken, and his sources revealed. All because he was exposing corrupt cops, a corrupt DA, and detectives. The blog is TurtleBoy Daily News, named so after a statue in Boston, MA. This is what happens when you go against the narrative these days. And that's at a small scale.
Support your independent journalists. They literally are putting their freedom on the line, both big and small independent, support them. And ffs, turn off the bought news! It's nothing but lies. Even locally, they're only showing part of the story.
The way John pilger deep dives into these documentaries is truly a gift

Civilian deaths in WWI were 10%; Viet Nam 70%; and Iraq 90%. These grim figures illustrate and underscore the ever-growing indifference of government power to the plight of human beings! The "state" powers themselves have become non-representational entities unto themselves. The majority of us are "just here", in the background of state enterprise and ambition. We are consumers and cannon fodder and little else - until election time. It is then when these same individuals roll out "democracy" and all the other noble ideals upon which America was founded for a brief moment. The manipulative duplicity of this charade is disgusting. The mind-numbing subservience to this charade by the general public is terrifying.
This is a stat to offer to all belligerants
100times more bombs than the blitz.
More bombs were dropped in Vietnam War than all the bombs combined in WWII - over 7,000 tonnes of bombs.😥

Mr Pilger is a journalist, a real journalist doing what the so called free press should be doing, exposing lies and corruption instead of being the mouthpiece for it. I have Immense respect for his body of work which everyone should seek out.

Did you watch his documentary about Australia and the Aboriginal people
Yes I did @@DavidMiller-kn9gc - We call ourselves a civilized species. Note the vote rejected recently in Oz concerning the Aboriginals.
Bravo! 🎉Glad the media is being exploited for once! Great doc! A must see
This documentary needs many awards. Thank you for the truth. We need more people like you 👍
Another masterpiece by John Pilger. If I could force everyone in the Western world to watch it, I would. Sadly, I'll be struggling to get friends and family to watch it no matter how nicely I ask them to.
I guarantee u that many of us do not want bidets war. We struggle too to get anyone to hear us no matter how nice we protest or ask. God hears us. Just as He hears the Taiwanese & Chinese Christians praying for this nonsense power play to cease 😢
That's the power of propaganda. Even friends and family members can be made to turn against each other.
When you are labeled a conspiracy theorist, nobody will listen. It is sad.
Keep trying!!!
We are winning. Truth is coming out. One person at a time… but it’s happening.
General Smedley D. Butler (1881 - 1940) was right: “War is a Racket”.
"THERE ARE PLENTY OF NAZIS, INCLUDED YOU" AVERAGE PEOPLE FROM THE WORLD
War is Big Profitable 💰 Business. “They” supply both the
Bullets and the Bandaids.
@tigermask1671 ▪︎ Santino Corleone was right, too .
@@brianmcsorley3229 That was more like ‘war of the rackets’ wasn’t it?
@tigermask1671 -- A lot of people throw around the phrase
"Banana Republic " - That's where General Butler learned about the Racket ,in Central America and , Carribean . Big American companies needed military to enforce their policies and change governments . Mostly United Fruit Co.
which is now Chiquita , sounds friendlier . Read about it all , very interesting .
In WW1 10% of casualties were civilians;
In WW2 50% of casualties were civilians;
In Vietnam War 70% of casualties were civilians;
In Iraq War 90% of casualties were civilians;
The problem is that none of these civilians were Americans.
We are in the age of where telling the truth, has become a revolutionary act, Assange being a prime example.
A wise man once said; " Old men declare wars, young men die fighting it."
julian assage isnt who he seems to be yeah its wrong what their doing but hes not who he makes out to be and did wikileaks actually expose anything that wasnt already in the public arena if ya know where to look and thats the thing right there
yeah they got him on collatral damage but end of day its all theatre
you want to study counter intelligence look up operation unthinkable and the cherry on the cake operation gladio things are very sad and people arent been who they claim to be
and read a books called the double cross
@@djdarksidejungle559 Good valid point.Assange had a fallout with a close college who wanted to expose governments such as Russia,China etc only the evils of the West,and there;s plenty, matter to him it seems. I still despise what's been done to him.
I burst into tears after watching this informative and powerful documentary. Since 2020 my reeducation continues…
My awakening, or reeducation as you call it, started in 2018. Learned the truth about 9/11. I always thought it looked wrong when the towers fell that day, almost 22 years ago now, but I never had the time to put any research into it until 2018 when my job moved bye-bye to Mexico and China. After learning the truth, I still went through about a month of pure denial. Our government just CAN'T do this to us can they?! Ya, they sure can, and they sure do. After the denial phase, it was anger. Now I'm in a phase where nothing surprises me.
Remember, Obama, overthrew 12 governments without a declaration of war not 1!!!!!
Welcome bro
Mine started much earlier, I was wondering what they were going to do in 2020 to bring in their Agenda 2021.. I was like "ohhh right" 😂 (unexpected tactic but it was certainly right on time)... needless to say I didn't mask, stay put or take the poison.
@@Grnademasterme too
I bet you stopped right where I did. Let me guess! My tears started swelling when I saw that family being forced out of their home and the teen age girl being overwhelmed with fear of being shot dead. How horrible wars are! If only men were less greedy and more compassionate towards each other. If only each and everyone of us could put themselves in other people’s shoe
😢😢😢
Reality is harsh, distressful, disturbing. Welcome to America's real character !
If only the evil who funds both sides of all wars weren't horrible, greedy, sadistic creatures there wouldn't be any wars.. Its a win-win for those despicable bastards for profit, depopulation, causing misery, creating fear so they can enter a country to deplete it of all its natural resources and on the way out they take the women and children, for slavery, organ harvesting and other horrific reasons... We have been sharing this earth with pure evil, it's time to finish hunting every last one down to be sure they're eradicated from this earth. Love & light to all positive, kind beings all of earth & beyond

Never trusted the media. But now it’s just confirmed I can’t trust nothing told you me. Glad I do my own search on things.this doc will be a life changer for better
Im an American and am very embarrassed of the tyranny our government has caused over the years.
me too.
I'm equally embarrassed how the citizens bury their heads in endless distractions and denial when evidence does come to light instead of taking an active role in their own governing.
it's too easy to blame others. unfortunately it's the go to reaction when things run amok.
I bought into so much of this at the time, and knowing what I’ve learned in the last 10 years about the media government pharmaceutical industrial military complex, I’m ashamed
I quite admire when people can admit their mistakes and learn from then. Good for you! 🙂
Amen!
Im not condoning anything nor shaming any1. But the system funnels billions of dollars annually to create and maintain they're propaganda machine in order to control its population. The goal is to turn us into unthinking walking atms. The average citizen has little chance in preventing some form of influence against this system. The hope is we learn from our experiences and keep fighting for critical thought. Atleast thats how i see it. Take care folks.
I am absolutely with you on your statement!
It's never too late to stand and make a little change. We all know you the American people have nothing to do with those atrocities even tho they were committed in your name. It's just your government unfortunately
John, I just want to express my massive Respect for You and the work you have created during Your life!
RIP John Pilger - a true phenotype of a real jornalist. Real journalists need to be protected. Free Assange and let Snowden come home to a heroes welcome. Peace out.
what is incredible to me is why myself and many anti war activists could see through the lies with minimal information yet almost every journalist interviewed film seems to have swallowed the lies whole, even with all their access to info . The same holds true at this moment with the SMO in Ukraine. Here we go again! When will they ever learn, oh when will they ever learn.
When it is no longer lucrative.

When will they ever learn? They already know, but they are the captives of cowardice and careerism. To paraphrase what Chris Hedges has said.
This documentary is hard to watch but should be seen by everyone and shown in high schools for older students !
Especially in journalism courses
Journalist are actually to cause of war. My saying unless someone else can tell me who paraphrased it? Come on give me the quote I'm not THAT special
As well as to those who wants to join the armed forces
No! Schools are managed by government. Of course they won’t
who the hell do u think finances and thus controls 'public' schools? the government! the same governments that this video exposes as corrupt and deceitful. do u really think they want to promote critical thinking in school, the sort of critical thinking that exposes their lies and corruption?
read DUMBING US DOWN by john taylor gatto. and check out what comic george carlin, who has been quoted by others in these comments, had to say about 'education'. it should be called what it is, indoctrination! 'public' schools are youth indoctrination centers!
I am Portuguese and it was with the first ministry at the time, Durão Barroso, that the USA and UK began the political preparation for the invasion of Iraq. It was at the Lages summit in the Azores that these 3 leaders met. Later , for the support he gave to the USA and UK Durão Barroso was rewarded with the most important position in the EU as president of the EU . Today he is at Golden Sakes. It was with shame and indignation that I followed the lie and the war. For those who don't know, the elimination of Russia's allies in the Middle East was part of the preparation plan for the future war against Russia. Syria, Libya and Egypt followed. Isolating Russia politically was half the path to victory. But greed clouded their judgment. 90% of the Globe supports Rússia
I’ve ALWAYS maintained my believe that Russia is the “innocent” party in this Ukraine war…! SAME EVIL, WICKED TACTICS BEING DEPLOYED NOW, as was with what they did to THE CZECHS, BY THE SUDETENLAND GERMANS, in 1937/38, WHOM were the intransigent obstacle for peace..just as it is made to appear now with Russians who are the intransigent obstacle for peace..
And just as it was back then, so it is today. September 13th 1938 Britain and France DEMAND that CZECH meet the SUDETENLAND GERMANS REQUESTS…OR FACE AND FIGHT HITLER ALONE… WITHOUT THE BRITISH ASSISTANCE.. LAND FOR PEACE ..🤔
You know I always wondered why our leaders have to go to your guys's countries to promote their evil it's interesting is something living there What do you know

@jackylynn imagine if saddam still alive..israel will not go far like today. Saddam invade Kuwait not for harm their civilian. He want kuwait oil for strength his army challenge Israel. Like we seen today Kuwait is rich but useless,coward.
Excellent documentary and great information thanks for sharing and keep up the good work.
Scott Ritter is well worth subscribing to for his coverage of the many current conflicts. He has seen it, knows it, and communicates well.
Thank you John for highlighting him.
Ritter is trading on a well deserved reputation earned during the Iraq war.
What he is doing now is putting his understanding of propaganda to good use.
Have you seen and heard his description of Ukrainians when he's at full rant, in his personal zone.
Pure hate speech that any nazi would be proud of.
Do you know anything about his case he was convicted on?? It was a sex offense, I'm asking to see if he was set up or something like that. Things like that happen when you piss off the wrong people!
YT has taken Ritter's channel down. Guess you know this. He also said that there were WMD in Iraq after all.
It won't stop him from spreading his poison. An unpleasant, hateful propagandist.
@@notsogreen I heard it was in the pipeline, par for the course on TH-cam. I dont think he ever said there were WMD in Iraq. I've only heard the opposite from him.
It's so depressing that most of the public seems to have learned nothing from the previous wars. How many times does someone/thing have to lie to you before you start to doubt their word ?

Propaganda Trance.
As a Haitian who reside in the USA I have been against the unjust wars in Iraq Syria and Ukraine but people will parrot what they have heard from American media it's sickening tbh I totally understand what you mean brother.
The US interventions by the politicians and military industrial complex, and big corporations have justifiably earned the hate from around the world for Americans, and have created organic terrorist organizations. You see, I believe the poor people who died on 9/11 were deemed expendable in order for Bush/Cheney to attack. I believe intelligence was available but our ‘leaders’ chose not to act. Think of the trillions of dollars, how many became rich or richer on govt contracting during Afghanistan and Iraq wars? Think of the Patriot Act that was passed, now we have the feds using it against American citizens. Secret courts do not belong in a free society. FBI have abused the use of FISA. More than 1M problematic FISA warrants. They have piece by piece diminished our US Constitution to tatters. These are wicked forces at play. Greed and power hungry. God wins, no matter what occurs. They will all sit before judgement.
I absolutely cry with tears of anger and my blood rages with uselessness. Those Iraqis are my Muslim brothers and sisters and got massacred just bcuz they were Iraqis and were Muslims. You can’t imagine how much this means and to see honest and decent people like you gives me hope for humanity and the west bit. They are doing the same old proxies and war propaganda all over again in Ukraine this time
It should make us angry that humans are dying. It should not matter what religion or race they are but I appreciate that we are tribal and looking at someone of the same religion or race being persecuted in war does make us think " that could be my family or friends". I'm just fed up with the USA and I'm not alone in feeling that way

Muslims aren't trying to overtake the World, that's America and Shite Britain lying and invading countries. Whatever ethnicity, religion should not matter, innocent men women and children are being murdered by psychopathic presidents, prime ministers etc etc.

@@romystumpy1197you're right, I share newsworthy information like this constantly.... hardly ever even get a "like" for it.
I recognized John Pilger's voice instantly as soon as the documentary starts, and I knew I will be watching one of the best documentaries ever made.
The fact that some of those being interviewed by Pilger can still afford to defend their guilt rather in smiles after the absolute destruction of lives and societies of an innocent people is very telling of a heart void of compassion for people different from us. It pains to the core.
Irredeemably corrupt individuals, specifically the lady from the BBC and the bloke from ITV.
They actually appear quite irate about being held to account, and seem to see it as an inconvenience more than anything else. The excuses or "explanations" they offer are the kinds of pathetic justifications that allow journalistic malpractice to continue uninterrupted.
I really miss John Pilger. He was one of the very best there ever was and ever will be.
I am the least affected by the war and yet watching this makes me really angry and disgusted . Just imagine thow this "War for Freedom" affected the Iraqi people. And then wonder why you still believe the US and UK governments are the good guys.
imagine we knew about propoganda from ww2 and the nurenburge trail set it in stone to claim obeying orders was no excuse for crimes against humanity yet look at the world, created more evil then the german party did, mindless zealots all ignorant to the very deffinition of government, a world full of order obeying drones going sir yes sir.......
I think the choice is up to Life itself. If Life decides that it's those who are driven by 'Power' who have proven themselves to be the fittest , then the likes of me will just disappear into a corner and quietly wilt away.
You are affected but have not connected all the dots yet.
If you connect the dots who is the master of it all? Israel or WEF or some alien? Who is at the too according to you?
JUST DRIVE YOUR NAZI PETROL OR LITHIUM CAR AS USUAL AND HAVE A GOOD EVENING SO YOU DONT FEEL "ANGER"
This was chilling. & it confirmed why I always take the position that governments, especially mine, are lying to me until they can prove otherwise.
This film is a fight for freedom for all of us, and a tribute to all those who have fallen unnecessarily.
Who has fallen.. the blood is on all america.. they responsible to some form..
Our turn will come. ITS TIME FOR ALL AMERICANS TO PAY THE PIPER. The elites will NOT pay. The elites are attacking all Americans now.

Fight for freedom are you kidding me, our media lied about WMD because it was already planned to hit IRAQ although the funding for 911 attack came from Saudi officials and our congress classified most of the report and prevented family members from suing the Saudi government.
This is a MUST WATCH and needs to be shared. 👍
I've watched this and every other Pilger's docs, some more than once. They are all masterclasses on history, journalism, integrity, intellectual honesty, humanism, and a commitment to he truth.
He was engaged by The criminals to reveal The Truth after there plans was perfectly implemented. Wait for a documentary about the vaccine in few years where they reveal all truth about it.
Now they've moved onto Ukraine. I hope Mr. Pilger does a part 2 to this, because it seems to be a continuing saga with every propagandized war.
Apparently all wars are bankers wars... I believe that. All wars both sides are funded by the same people I believe
May he rest in peace
😢Our condoleances on the death of John Pilger. Our condoleances to his family and friends.
Most disturbingly is that in the the decade+ since the release of this docu neither the warmongering, nor the reporting seem to prevent or reduce repeating similar atrocities. When will humanity's learning capability kick in to turn this trend?
I just love the internet and information age. Lets face it, an powerful/important documentary like this cannot be aired on national tv or any major network channels. Ignorance in our time is a choice.
I agree. Unfortunately, we’re also in a time of censorship and who knows if documentaries like this will be allowed in the future. It seems the merging between the military industrial complex and Big Pharma gives them the power to do whatever they want.
Yes. To "Ignore" Some Thing...Is ALWAYS ...A Choice- We made, make, and will continue to make. It is certainly not a condition which is "in our" time exclusively. For Me that much is clearly obvious to the point of being a dazzling display of redundancy as a statement. However, I think I know what you are meaning to say, if so I completely agree, and the point I wish to express, is a fine distinction between 2 definitive inferences whenever I hear someone use that word: "Ignorance."
1) This "choice" to disconnect ourselves, opt out, and to effectively arrest any further involvement, developments, knowledge, or understanding of a given object, subject, phenomena, or idea ("X") which we might acquire is, (in my experience) NOT the more common consensus interpretation, rather the usual meaning typically inferred is:
2) That of an "Inherent, default, sometimes understandable lack of education and or familiarity regarding ("X") ie: When one is in an unfamiliar cultural context, and might unwittingly transgress upon a certain taboo etc.
The 1) condition can APPEAR as 2) at which point an observer may likely simply presume "Stupidity" at fault, hence "ignorance & stupidity" go hand in hand, and the words used interchangeably. Which, as the point of my response to Your comment is that IMO You touch on a VERY real and important issue, which I see as problematic, due to the 2 differing definitions/meanings which are easily confused when describing a person, group, or ideologue as "Ignorant."
As You point out, (in This day and Age) virtually ANYONE can access information, news, and media, at their finger tips, and usually in a matter of seconds- that is a greater "Library/Hub/Bank" of info, news, media, tutorial, imagery, + much more, etc...Within the last 2 decades, than what could be accessed at ANY time in human history, and that "Bank" of internet, comprised of virtually the sum total of ALL transmittable, quantifiable, information.
IF...IF a person is "savvy" and has the right stuff (Insight, experience, skills, motivation, etc) the Internet is a Superb, and Wonderful, VERY powerful tool. Undergoing massive upgrades, literally by the minute by innovative A.I.
(I love it.) Yet, with that, I Hope with ALL my being, that:
A) Some reckless greedy, fool doesn't launch some kind of novel alienoid, cybernetic epi-pandemic, adding to a growing collection of "dark" deadly, powerful enemies to this world and of our design. A cold, soulless, weird, continually & infinitely morphing, mutating Far & WAY faster than can be contained, and 10,000 yrs beyond our human collective's ability to even understand, (Could happen ANY time now, if it hasn't started already, perhaps via some spontaneous ghost in the machine?) Then we Dare not be sure of ANYTHING being random, in the increasing chaos, VAST Cybermetaverse & information entropy.
B) The Internet doesn't become weaponized against us further by corrupted fellow human agents. Like some augmented, new breed of destructive, socio/psychopathy, megalomania, and ambition, amalgamated into a "perfect storm" powered by 210+ I.Q. Cybernetics...
C) Perhaps a MUCH worse situation still...An unknown, highly intelligent bored, unemployed, teen or 20's techie, with 3 PHD level knowledge Genetic eng. Theoretical Math, & Molecular physics, with a SEVERE broken "heart", addicted to some exotic molecular "crank" + Junk food & "The Horn Pub..." & living in his Mom's fancy spread, in some unstable nation, like Jackfuckistan, who decides NOBODY is gonna ignore him anymore... Or All THREE...! !! !!! AAAHK! Oh may the Gods Help Us Then....LOL!!
Let’s face the fact… videos about Ukraine is being taken down by TH-cam.!!! Same old stuff!!!!
Find good in everything.
If more journalists did their jobs with pride so much evil wouldn’t be being played out. Good of you to being honest in this interview. Honesty should be contagious
Understanding what my government did to innocent people leaves me heartbroken and ashamed.
Such an Incredibly powerful documentary. I can't stop thinking how the world would be like if only we were served with the facts...
Dr Pilger is an absolute legend....may God Bless him throughout eternity
Incredibly informative and a bright shining beacon of truth and questioning journalism. Thank you so much for all your brilliant work John Pilger. If I have one lingering concern with regard to the Iraq war, it is that millions of us did see through the lies and propaganda and took to the streets to protest against the war in what were the biggest such protests ever seen. And yet, we were ignored and it stopped nothing. I am left with a question, 'What must we do to prevent this and stop it happening again'?
Same as the kids protesting the Vietnam war.
Yet so many support the Ukraine war … a war WE CREATED in 2014
The difference is that those protests made a difference: causing LBJ to not seek re-election, the Nixon admin to negotiate a peace (after foot dragging by Kissinger) and it ended the Draft in the USA.@@vickiezaccardo1711
One place to start and maybe the only thing we have left to really start with is prayer
Civil war and the start of a new country and government, but even if you could eventually money and power you would have the same thing all over again,the coming of God is the only thing that will stop it all.
Thank you for this GREAT REPORTING. Watching this from a far, from a third world country, the current political, social and economics situation in the US and UK, not to mention the moral and ethics, is very hard to grasp. Where are the so-called good, honest, American people in every branch of government bodies and the military? People with intellect, impeccable characters and wisdom? In the 80s and 90s, many of my fellow college graduates from my country pursued their graduate degrees in the US and UK universities, which were considered as ultimate academic achievements. We always thought that the US and UK are the countries that’s blessed with many of intellects and scholars. Many of whom are Noble Prize winners. And also why do those reporters have trouble admitting their misreporting or … lies, although the TRUTHS, or facts, have been fact-checked and revealed? Do their hearts not feel anything? Have money and power covered their souls completely? What went wrong? Do they not worry about their children and next generations? I thought that they were good Christians, they preached that US and UK are Christian nations. This is not the Christian tradition I know. Someone kindly explain, please?
"The world keeps pace with fiction, and liars rule." - Jefferson Davis
So true
And they call Putin evil. He has been very restrained in ukraine compared to Iraq.
Or currently the barbaric atrocities imposed on the Palestinians
Putin seems to be the only adult, wise and sane world leader..... I wish we in the UK had a leader like him
That's why I think it's Nazis I know it's Nazis it is the fucking Nazi party again bro I am telling you because they hate Russia too bad
All of this shit it's Nazi propaganda everything it is all explainable by the Nazi party
Putin is a despot, surrounded by yes-men. He thought he will walk in Kiev as a victor within few months, but the reality was very different. Country even more corrupt than US, the military is what it is after the total collapse of the 90s. And Ukrainian’s arent willing to turn themselves into Russians, they already know what it is, it’s still living memory. Im a Finn and willing to fight to my death in order to keep him at bay, if it comes to that.
" The first casualty when war comes is truth " U.S. Senator Samuel W. Johnson , in 1917 , speaking to the U.S. Senate , trying to keep America out of world war one .
That is one hell of a quote.
Every citizen must watch this. Prominent academicians and economists must look into this and speak out.
.... But they can't speak out, can they?
Let's just share this with our friends and family
Atta boy John, another great piece from you. I applaud you for your steadfastly honest work over the last 60 years.
Sad to hear that veteran journalist, writer and filmmaker John Pilger has passed away, aged 84. Throughout his unique career he was a ferocious speaker of the truth, and tirelessly advocated against uright and abuse of power. Our world is poorer for his passing.
May he Rest in Power!
We all who value Truth and Freedom owe to you a great debt of gratitude. I want to touch on something this particular documentary helped me to understand that which drives what has become a staggering epidemic of suicides by returning combat veterans, many ,if not most who carry an unbearable burden from what has become known as "moral injury" from what they witnessed and in many cases were made to participate.
George W. Bush lied to the soldiers he commanded. Thousands of innocent people were killed, including thousands of innocent children. This was known before the 2004 election, yet he was reelected. Any person that WANTED TO KNOW the narrative about the total collapse of WTC One and Two was false could have known before the 2004 election. It was willful ignorance that kept Americans from knowing. It is still easily possible to prove if it was, or was not, a controlled demolition that caused the total collapse of the WTC 1 and 2 buildings and the deaths of hundreds of innocent people.
It is been propagandized that those who serve at war fighting in another country is fighting for our freedom. Freedom against who? Who is trying to attack and take away our freedom? Who is trying to conquer US??!!
I n reality, they are serving the oligarch's economic interest. The filthy rich are the oligarchs who funded the politicians to pass legislations to pursue their own corporate objectives. There is no fighting for freedom. It is a sham.😢
Years ago, I tried to counsel a combat war veteran. He cried in my arms, but I couldn’t help him. I eventually found a group of combat war veterans who reach out to combat war veterans struggling with what they witnessed and what they’d done. They explained to me that no one else can understand what they face, but the veteran has to be ready to ask for help. The man I was trying to help was probably 6 months or less from committing self harm. I have never felt so helpless - or at a loss for words. They call it PTSD, but it’s soooo much worse than we are led to believe. Whatever happened over there, it destroyed him in a constant reliving of the unthinkable atrocities he witnessed. He was trying to function in our regular world- but for him, it was all a lie.
To this day, I urge combat veterans to seek help through programs designed exclusively for them, and by them. They know very well that those they help must be ready - so it is up to the guy who can barely function to find them … not the other way around. They don’t push. It’s the pace that the vet sets himself. Just take that one step. Ask for help. Fellow combat vets are organized and have answers. May the peace of God find all of us. Thank you great men and women who give themselves for this purpose.
@@mallariculp3551 , *YOU ARE MOST LIKELY PART OF THE PROBLEM* Do you say to others, in person, that the invasion of Iraq was based on a lie and that George W. Bush *LIED* to the soldiers he commanded?????? Have you ever taken any time to study the terrorist attack that occurred on the day of 9-11-01??? I have. For over *TEN THOUSAND HOURS.* Let me share just one single fact with you; No official investigation has yet proved if the total collapse and destruction of the World Trade Center One and Two buildings was, or was not, caused by a controlled demolition. The report of ANY and all official investigations is *PROOF* of the fact just stated. This means it is still not known what caused the murder of hundreds of hundreds of innocent people on the day of 9-11-01.
All those effort, the counseling etc...acts only as smokescreens to hides the deep guilt because noones truly misguide those soldiers, they know well the actual truth yet still doing it, covered in many kind of names ie sovereign, national security, prides, proud and arrogant, misinformation, that is if still no real remorse in yhe soul.
The real cures to all the curses is to put whoever guilty of it whole theres still time. Because these wars (countless) brought by this government are real, theres really a real humans that been killed, not actors from Rambos movies, they had love to give to received, from bros, sis, of course parents...like the rest of us, and suddenly bombs falls on them not knowing anything. Many of those childs got angry at god, since they thought its gods wrath on their innocent lives. The girls planned doing homeworks together with friends ( like many of us) and suddenly all's gone...not just books .( Before the invasions, most of these country has a proper education and living standards- maybe few a bit behind, still like normal countries. If otherwise, thats just blatant lies propagandas from the invading nation. So does Libya under Muaamar. Open ur eyes..not just saying it,bjust for the sake of saying it on Net. Noone know u...
"We're not there to accuse them of lying". Why not, if they are in fact, lying?
Amazing journalist. Everyone should watch this, as it is so relevant to what is happening today. What a sick world we live in.
Thirty years ago, I read All wars are bankers wars, by General Smedly Butler. He tells the entire story.
Reading War is Racket by Butler
John Stockwell's CIA Whistlebloing books among others. The Creature From Jekyll Island is great too by G Edward Griffin. Glad so many people who care to educate themselves are doing that these days.
@@arielmartinmusic The Creature from Jekyll Island. Do they got that on Amazon???
I ndeed a good book.
You have the authors swapped with the titles btw
How many Americans know the story of Marine Corps General Smedley Butler and how he stopped a coup by American Industrialist against the Admistration of Franklin Roosevelt prior to WW2 at the risk of his own life.
You need to!
This was the first Pilger film I saw. I subsequently purchased his entire work (the boxset) and have since been inspired 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
how long ago was that, please? I am trying to u nderstand when Pilger created this piece.
@@proletariatprincess1 2010
Thanks for picking up the mantle. Thank you Mr Pilger for leading the way to liberate our minds.
Thank you John for your job: I' m upset seeing this film
John was one of the very best. He is terribly missed.
So glad to hear that he has inspired you. Will check out your work, thanks for sharing it here.
Keep fighting for truth. We need it as much as ever ✊
this was BRILLIANT. sad to read in the comments that John Pilger has passed. Rest In Peace to a true journalist.
