A Giant Has Passed: RIP John Pilger

Certainly Not a Garbage Person

DEC 31

Pilger was born in Sydney, Australia in 1939, but developed much of his career when staying in the United Kingdom, where he began working as a freelance journalist in the early 1960s.
His main focus was uncovering and exposing abuses of power by governments and large corporations. He was an unwavering critic of the United States, Australia and the United Kingdom’s foreign policies, which he considered to be driven by an imperialist and colonialist agenda. He was a vocal critic of the US-led military interventions in countries such as Iraq and Afghanistan.
In his book, The New Rulers of the World, Pilger exposed the role of the West in the 1960s coup in Indonesia and the US-led “war on terror” that ravaged Iraq.

I’d like to extend my heartfelt condolences to John’s family, and the rest of the world who will miss his dedicated work to expose imperialism and uplift the voices of the occupied and oppressed.

Well, Americans began to catch on to the scam in 2015 with the rise of Trump, and that awareness has only accelerated in recent years, under the stewardship of figures like Tucker Carlson — once a stalwart stenographer of the establishment, by his own admission — who strayed from the neoliberal plantation to become an unvarnished truth-teller (the reason he no longer has a fox News show).

Check out what Tucker had to say about the banks and the growing inefficacy on both the left and right of their culture war games recently with
