RIP John Pilger

Heartbroken. John was a guiding light for many years. The world has lost a precious human being and one of the greatest journalists of our lifetime

--- Vanessa Beeley

This is extremely sad news and millions around the world will feel they lost somebody special. To his family and to Australia his loss will be felt most keenly of all. A great journalist, a fine man, a tower of strength has fallen.

--- George Galloway

I am honored to have known him and interviewed him. He was as kind as his truth telling was powerful.

We have an obligation to carry forward his legacy, and fight the wars he exposed and those waging them with all that we have.

He will be deeply missed.

--- Danny Haiphong

It was an honor and privilege to be interviewed by the great John Pilger, and to be part of his journalistic legacy. The world is a lesser place without him, but we are collectively richer for the experience of knowing him.

--- Scott Ritter

Rest in power - shocked and saddened to hear that John Pilger is no longer with us.

--- Miko Peled

Fare thee well to John Pilger...He went against the grain and told the truth, spectacularly.
Journalism has lost one of the bravest.
When I was last in Gaza, the Israeli air force terrorised the population by flying fast and loud and low at night.
All children bed-wetted and had violent nightmares, said a psychologist, and were 'damaged forever'. Such
is Israel's exercise of its 'right to self defence'. John Pilger's last tweet, November 2023

John Pilger, one of the greatest investigative reporters of our time died yesterday.

He exposed the horror and crimes of US and Australia in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos. He wrote about subjects most people wouldn't dare or care writing about.

He was like a shining light in the dark world of journalism with raser sharp pen to poke into the bubble of power controlling the information released to the media and amplified by the paid propagandists who called themselves reporters.

He sure will be missed.

John Pilger: 'I am posting a recent piece of mine on propaganda. When will journalism colleges open this vital page for those wishing to be journalists? As the academic year begins, is there a single course on Western propaganda? Or is this silence propaganda, too?'

John Pilger: Silencing The Lambs (How 3Propaganda Works)

August 22, 2023
In the 1970s, I met one of #Hitler’s leading propagandists, Leni Riefenstahl, whose epic films glorified the Nazis. We happened to be staying at the same lodge in #Kenya, where she was on a photography assignment, having escaped the fate of other friends of the Führer.
She told me that the “patriotic messages” of her films were dependent not on “orders from above” but on what she called the “submissive void” of the German public.
Did that include the liberal, educated bourgeoisie? I asked. “Yes, especially them,” she said.
I think of this as I look around at the propaganda now consuming Western societies.

#FaceTheHorror "A war, is when two sides are fighting... so i think right there... we can all agree... it wasnt exactly a war." -- Bill Hicks.
"You must remember that the attack on Iraq, although presented as a war, it was not a war. It was so one sided, and it became an attack on the civilian population. The most vivid, and probably the most educative, revelation, was collateral murder." -- John Pilger
