John Pilger: Somos Espartaco

La valentía de quienes se atreven a resistir nos ha permitido a muchos de nosotros, que podríamos desesperarnos, comprender el verdadero significado de una resistencia que todos compartimos si queremos impedir la conquista de nosotros mismos, de nuestra conciencia y de nuestro respeto por nosotros mismos si lo preferimos. libertad y decencia hasta el cumplimiento y la colusión. En esto todos somos Espartaco.

Spartacus was a 1960 Hollywood film based on a book written secretly by the blacklisted novelist Howard Fast and adapted by the screenplay writer Dalton Trumbo, one of the ‘Hollywood 10’ who were banned for their ‘un-American’ politics. It is a parable of resistance and heroism that speaks unreservedly to our own times. Both writers were

John Pilger: Del periodismo amarillo a los ataques contra China, el papel perdurable de los medios en la promoción de la guerra

Hoy, la guerra de los medios es una tarea clave del llamado periodismo convencional, que recuerda lo descrito por un fiscal de Nuremberg en 1945: 'Antes de cada agresión importante[…] iniciaban una campaña de prensa calculada para[…] preparar la gente psicológicamente[…]"

John Pilger: From Yellow Journalism to China Bashing, The Media’s Enduring Role in Promoting War

In 1935, the Congress of American Writers was held in New York City, followed by another two years later. They called on 'the hundreds of poets, novelists, dramatists, critics, short story writers and journalists' to discuss the 'rapid crumbling of capitalism' and the beckoning of another war. They were electric events which, according to one

John Pilger: Los traidores de Julian Assange

Conozco a Julian Assange desde que lo entrevisté por primera vez en Londres en 2010. Inmediatamente me gustó su sentido del humor seco y oscuro, a menudo prescindido de una risita contagiosa. Es un extraño orgulloso: agudo y reflexivo. Nos hemos hecho amigos y me he sentado en muchos tribunales escuchando a los tribunos del […]

I have known Julian Assange since I first interviewed him in London in 2010. I immediately liked his dry, dark sense of humour, often dispensed with an infectious giggle. He is a proud outsider: sharp and thoughtful. We have become friends, and I have sat in many courtrooms listening to the tribunes of the state try to silence him and his moral

John Pilger: Silenciar a los corderos. Cómo funciona la propaganda

Habiendo empapado durante 82 años en un profundo baño de justicia que es la versión oficial de la última guerra mundial, ¿no es hora de que aquellos que deben mantener las cosas claras declaren su independencia y decodifiquen la propaganda? La urgencia es mayor que nunca.

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 Fuhrer. She told me that the ‘patriotic messages’ of her films were dependent not on

John Pilger: La guerra en Europa y el auge de la cruda propaganda

La histeria bélica que ha llegado como un maremoto en las últimas semanas y meses es el ejemplo más llamativo. Conocido por su jerga, "dar forma a la narrativa", gran parte, si no la mayoría, es pura propaganda.

Marshall McLuhan’s prophecy that “the successor to politics will be propaganda” has happened.  Raw propaganda is now the rule in Western democracies, especially the US and Britain. On matters of war and peace, ministerial deceit is reported as news. Inconvenient facts are censored, demons are nurtured. The model is corporate spin, the currency

John Pilger: el secuestro judicial de Julian Assange

Lo que está en juego es la vida de un hombre valiente y, si permanecemos en silencio, la conquista de nuestro intelecto y el sentido del bien y el mal: de hecho, nuestra propia humanidad.

“Let us look at ourselves, if we have the courage, to see what is happening to us” – Jean-Paul Sartre Sartre’s words should echo in all our minds following the grotesque decision of Britain’s High Court to extradite Julian Assange to the United States where he faces “a living death”. This is his punishment for the crime of authentic, accurate,

John Pilger: Justicia para Assange es justicia para todos

Julian Assange es un narrador de la verdad que no ha cometido ningún delito, pero reveló crímenes gubernamentales y mentiras a gran escala, por lo que realizó uno de los grandes servicios públicos de mi vida.

When I first saw Julian Assange in Belmarsh prison, in 2019, shortly after he had been dragged from his refuge in the Ecuadorean embassy, he said, “I think I am losing my mind.” He was gaunt and emaciated, his eyes hollow and the thinness of his arms was emphasised by a yellow identifying cloth tied around his left arm, an evocative symbol of
