John Pilger’s final essay investigates why today there is ‘a silence filled by a consensus of propaganda’ as the world’s two greatest powers draw closer to conflict.
John Pilger
JOHN PILGER was an Australian journalist who for more than 50 years reported on the injustices of capitalism and the tyranny of Western imperialism, from Cambodia and Vietnam, to East Timor and Palestine, and beyond, even into the UK and Australia. He called to account the intelligence agencies, the generals, and the governments alike that run the world their way. John gave voice to the unheard, the indigenous, the poor, the occupied, the displaced — and gave hope, courage and solidarity to the international family of human rights and justice activists.
