The people of Egypt, Tunisia, Bahrain, Algeria, Yemen, Jordan and Libya are rising up not only against their leaders, but also western economic tyranny.

The uprising in Egypt is our theatre of the possible. It is what people across the world have struggled for and their thought controllers have feared.

The attacks on WikiLeaks and its founder, Julian Assange, are a response to an information revolution that threatens old power orders, in politics and journalism.

I think he has quite a moral commitment to this, he believes there should be an ethical dimension, a moral dimension to world affairs, that's his personal view... that came through clearly to me when I first met him.

Its language is that of business schools, PR companies, consultancies and banks. Its "philosophy" is that everything is for sale and monopoly rules. Just wear the logo, pump your fist and bellow, "C'mon!"

Rapacious business interests have made profit the new first principle of top-class sport. But all over the world, from South Africa to Liverpool and Manchester, fans are mobilising to reclaim the people's pleasure.

Here is news of the Third World War. The United States has invaded Africa. US troops have entered Somalia, extending their war front from Afghanistan and Pakistan to Yemen and now the Horn of Africa.

A new global movement is challenging Israel's violations of international law with the same strategies that were used against apartheid.

In Nineteen Eighty-Four, George Orwell described a superstate called Oceania, whose language of war inverted lies that "passed into history and became truth. 'Who controls the past', ran the Party slogan, 'controls the future: who controls the present controls the past'."

1984 romanında George Orwell Okyanusya adında bir süper devleti tanımlar. Bu devletin savaş lisanında yalanlar 'tarihe mal olarak gerçek haline dönüşür'. Parti'nin sloganı şöyledir: "Geçmişi kontrol eden, geleceği kontrol eder: bugünü kontrol eden, dünü kontrol eder."

In a speech at the Sydney Opera House to mark his award of Australia's human rights prize, the Sydney Peace Prize, John Pilger describes the "unique features" of a political silence in Australia:

The theft of West Papua's mineral wealth must end. The province's courageous resistance movement deserves nothing less.

The Australian silence has unique features.

Obama, the man of peace, is planning another war to add to his impressive record

Obama's speech in Cairo on the Middle East peace process was seductive, but its content was as morally bankrupt as any of Bush's spiels

In advertising terms, Bush was a "brand collapse" whereas Obama, with his toothpaste advertisement smile and righteous clichés, is a godsend.

Supporters of the new US president refuse to admit that the "man of change" is, in fact, changing very little. It's time the Obama lovers grew up

Gazze'de aç bırakma ve insani yardımı önleme, hayati kaynakların gasp edilmesi, altyapının yok edilmesi ve yüzde 50'si çocuk olan sivil nüfusun öldürülmesi ve sakat bırakılması, Soykırım Konvansiyonu'nun uluslararası standartlarına tıpatıp uyuyor.

The lying silence of those who know

Barack Obama is a politician of a system described by Martin Luther King as "the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today". He speaks of change but offers only dreaded continuity

Barack Obama is being lauded by liberals but the truth about him is that he represents the worst of American power.

Politicians on both sides of the Atlantic have been "maintaining the fiction" for decades on all aspects of foreign policy. It's time we demanded the truth

Last month, "our" aircraft slaughtered nearly 100 Afghan civilians, two-thirds of them children aged three months to 16 years, while they slept

Israel's treatment of an award-winning young Palestinian journalist is part of a terrible pattern

The renewal of Aung San Suu Kyi's arrest casts shame on the Burmese junta's western sponsors

Bobby Kennedy's campaign is the model for Barack Obama's current bid to be the Democratic nominee for the White House. Both offer a false hope that they can bring peace and racial harmony to all Americans, writes John Pilger

Beyond today's bathers, untanned and often fat, there is a glimpse of the down-at-heel city that Sydney was: the same peeling paint and worried eyes of refugees
