The world war on democracy

A tremendously well written article.

From johnpilger.com

...Today, Diego Garcia is crucial to America's and Britain's war on democracy. The heaviest bombing of Iraq and Afghanistan was launched from its vast airstrips, beyond which the islanders' abandoned cemetery and church stand like archaeological ruins. The terraced garden where Lisette laughed for the camera is now a fortress housing the "bunker-busting" bombs carried by bat-shaped B-2 aircraft to targets in two continents; an attack on Iran will start here. As if to complete the emblem of rampant, criminal power, the CIA added a Guantanamo-style prison for its "rendition" victims and called it Camp Justice.
What was done to Lisette's paradise has an urgent and universal meaning, for it represents the violent, ruthless nature of a whole system behind its democratic facade, and the scale of our own indoctrination to its messianic assumptions, described by Harold Pinter as a "brilliant, even witty, highly successful act of hypnosis." Longer and bloodier than any war since 1945, waged with demonic weapons and a gangsterism dressed as economic policy and sometimes known as globalisation, the war on democracy is unmentionable in western elite circles. As Pinter wrote, "it never happened even while it was happening"...

John Pilger: On Obama. Obama worked for company linked to CIA



From All Voices

John Pilger is an Australian journalist and documentary maker. He works out of London UK. He was twice awarded the UK Journalist of the Year Award and he has made documentaries that have received Academy Awards in the U.S. and Britain.
The appended video examines Obama as the creation of corporate marketing and notes that he has carried on with many Bush policies. This is an older video but still interesting. In particular he notes that Obama worked for a CIA linked company after graduating from university. Of course this in itself does not prove anything directly but certainly raises suspicions about whether he himself had links to the intelligence service...

John Pilger’s ‘The War You Don’t See’

This film is fantastic. The enormity of the sins of war of the UK, Israel and the US come shamefully in clear view as the deceptions and manipulations of the western media are laid bare.

John Pilger SLAMS The Lies About War & Calls On Australians To Defend Julian Assange

From Max Keiser

Like everyone in the media these days, the woman interviewing John Pilger doesn't understand how the cables reveal lying. We really need to get rid of almost everyone in the government and in the media if things are going to get better. The cables expose a great deal of lying. If you have one face in public and one in secret, and conduct dubious activities to hide the truth, how is that not lying? Start from scratch with people who are capable of thought.

Bilderberg Corporate Media Mogul Wrote Obama Speech

George: Don't miss the video of John Pilger at the end where he discusses Obama's stint at the Business International Corporation which is known to be a CIA cover organization. I had hoped Obama would turn out to be a "real" president. I am sorry to say I view him now as much more likely a PR puppet for some wing of our shadow government. Pilger repeats a perfectly fitting Chris Hedges description of Obama as one who is giving his supporters the "feeling" of change, but keeping them in a perpetual state of childishness. Here is first just one little example of brand Obama in case you haven't seen it.

Bilderberg Corporate Media Mogul Wrote Obama Speech
From Prison Planet



The fact that Barack Obama is nothing more than a corporate sock puppet, a completely hollow vassal being used and manipulated by his globalist controllers to carry out their agenda, has once again been emphasized with the revelation that corporate media mogul and Bilderberg luminary Mortimer Zuckerman wrote one of Obama’s political speeches...
