A giant of journalism has left us — John Pilger, a heroic truth-teller. Banned by much of the mainstream media, his amazing work is his great permanent legacy. 👉 Over 50 years of reporting on the tyranny of Western imperialism — from Cambodia and Vietnam, to East Timor and Palestine, and beyond, even into the UK and Australia. 👉👉 Calling to account the intelligence agencies, the generals, and the governments alike that run the world their way. 👉👉👉 Giving voice to the unheard, the indigenous, the poor, the occupied, the displaced — and giving hope, courage and solidarity to the international family of activists. 👉👉👉👉 Such a strong role-model to so many journalists especially in Australia — a country he loved, but whose media shunned him for his relentless uncompromising stand against imperialism and Australia’s slavish obedience to it. 👉👉👉👉👉 Telling the seldom-heard ‘peoples history’, his books and films inform our democracy, and it was a pleasure to have had the chance to have worked with him. 💪 Farewell John. Thank you for your good work.
