The Assange case means that we are all suspects now : Comments

By John Pilger, published 3/2/2012

Washington's enemy is not 'terrorism' but the principle of free speech and voices of conscience within its militarist state and those journalists brave enough to tell their stories.

<Cherful,this is not a moronic left/right issue.This is about your freedom.I agree with both Pilger and Ron Paul who are opposite ends of the spectrum politically.They both believe in freedom of expression but our masters who invented terrorism do not.

Can your brain wrap itself around that reality for just an instant? >

So Assange is protecting my freedoms is he. A man who releases my countries defence secrets to the world is protecting my freedoms is he?

If anything he vindicated the American Government and defence forces because I am still waiting to hear anything I find terribly surprising or horrific about the defence strategys of the American government.

Our master who invented terrorism.
How do you explain the 30year terrorist war waged by the Irish Republican Army in order to remove British rule from Ireland.

Terrorist wars have been with us for a long long, time, I don’t think the Americans just conjured terrorism out of the air.

You are the one who’s brain refuses to see the truth. Read my lips, Osama Bin Laden admitted and gloated about the attack. It was broadcast from Al Jeezra Television, I never heard Al Jazeera Television ever come out and say America gave them the tapes.
Osama Bin Laden is a Saudi prince, his mother and father would have handed him out millions of dollars like candy. That is why he was able to pay for the men and set the whole thing up. There are people who spoke to their loved ones just before they died on those planes and they described the men who where carrying out the hijackings. They weren’t the American FBI.

Dear Possums Save your anger, save your vitriol, don't waste your passion by trying to score points against each other or ridiculing John Pilger. Impossible as it may seem you just might be chewing the wrong end of the stick. Every one of you, as do I, probably question the integrity of the news media on a daily basis. PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! go to your local library or online booksales and beg steal or borrow "The Shock Doctrine" by Naomi Klien and "Killing Hope" by William Blum. Both are books of authority and very well written and researched. Put the effort in, read them and re-read them until you thoroughly understand the reality of what they describe. If the picture they paint does not fill you with revulsion at what has been happening globally in the last 50 years perhaps you can remain happy playing internet games. I hope though that you might even find out where John Pilger, Helen Caldicott, Rachel Carson, all "Aussie" authors are actually coming from.
