The last thing the west wants is to dismantle the barriers separating "us" from "them". They are vital for justifying invasion, plunder and nuclear proliferation.

The death of Suharto is a reminder of the west's ignoble role in propping up a murderous regime

Of the presidential candidates I have interviewed, only George C Wallace, governor of Alabama, spoke the truth

Rawa is the Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan, which since 1977 has alerted the world to the suffering of women and girls in that country. There is no organisation on earth like it. It is the high bar of feminism, home of the bravest of the brave.

No longer trusting what they r

Remembrance Day was marred by

In the 1960s, when I first went to Latin America, I travelled up the cone of the continent from Chile across the Altiplano to Peru, mostly in rickety buses and single-carriage trains. It was an experience my memory stored for life, especially the spectacle of the movement of people.

ABD, Chavez hükümetine karşı, CIA ve medyanın 1970'lerde Şili'de Allende'ye karşı yürüttüğü kampanyanın bir benzerini uyguluyor. Binlerce Venezüellalı hayatlarında ilk kez doktor görürken orta sınıfın imtiyazları da yıkılıyor. ABD'yse Venezüella liderini şeytan gibi gösterme peşinde

Entering the "grotesquely paid presence" of Bill Clinton

Democracy and hope in Latin America have been revived by Venezuela's leader. But the forces allied against him are formidable

Halkla ilişkiler endüstrisi ve medya, çoğu zaman devletlere suçlarını Orwell'in 'hafıza deliği'ne atmaları için yardım ediyor. Büyük suçlar dilin dönüştürülmesiyle haklı çıkarılıyor; istilacılar 'demokrasi götüren koalisyon' diye, İran da kanıt olmasa bile nükleer tehdit diye nitelenebiliyor

Concealed during the Alan Johnston kidnap crisis was the fate of a Palestinian cameraman shot by the Israelis. The BBC, desperate to deny charges of "bias", refused to follow the story.

John Pilger, applies to current events Orwell's description in '1984' of how the Ministry of Truth consigned embarrassing truth to a memory hole.

Just as the London bombs in the summer of 2005 were Blair's bombs, the inevitable consequence of his government's lawless attack on Iraq, so the potential bombs in the summer of 2007 are Brown's bombs.

An experienced British officer serving in Iraq has written to the BBC describing the invasion as "illegal, immoral and unwinnable" which, he says, is "the overwhelming feeling of many of my peers".

John Pilger describes how Gaza in Palestine has come to symbolise the imposition of great power on the powerless, in the Middle East and all over the world, and how a vocabulary of double standard is employed to justify this epic tragedy.

Sanctions enforced by the UN on Iraq since the Gulf War have killed more people than the two atomic bombs dropped on Japan in 1945, including over half a million children - many of whom weren't even born when the Gulf War began.

In a show trial whose theatrical climax was clearly timed to promote George W Bush in the American midterm elections, Saddam Hussein was convicted and sentenced to hang.

As he launches a season of his films, John Pilger argues that, in the age of Big Brother, television is no longer nurturing challenging documentary-makers.

In researching a new film, I have been watching documentary archive from the 1980s, the era of Ronald Reagan and his "secret war" against Central America. What is striking is the relentless lying.

If the alleged plot to attack airliners flying from London is true - remember the lies that led to the invasion of Iraq, and to the raid on a "terrorist cell" in east London - then one person ultimately is to blame, as he was on 7 July last year.

Ortadoğu'da yaşanan felaket, bir imparatorluk diktasının ürünüdür.

One of the museum's exhibitions is called "The Price of Freedom: Americans at war". In the spirit of Santa's Magic Grotto, this travesty of revisionism helps us understand how silence and omission are so successfully deployed in free, media-saturated societies.

Arthur Miller wrote, "Few of us can easily surrender our belief that society must somehow make sense. The thought that the state has lost its mind and is punishing so many innocent people is intolerable. And so the evidence has to be internally denied."

For Rami Elhanan, an Israeli graphic designer, the sacrifice by a Palestinian of 'the last thing that belonged to me' caused the death of his fourteen-year-old daughter, Smadar. There is a home videotape of Smadar that is difficult to watch.

The Indian Ocean paradise of Diego Garcia was once home to more than a thousand contented British subjects. In 1966, Harold Wilson's government sold it to the US in a secret, illegal deal and terrorised the population into leaving. John Pilger reports on the islanders' long battle for justice

Out of the new spirit in Latin America, the Bolivians (with the Venezuelans) have come closest to forging revolutionary change. The government of "Evo" is on notice.

Venezuela's president is using oil revenues to liberate the poor - no wonder his enemies want to overthrow him.

People ask: Can this be happening in Britain? Surely not. A centuries-old democratic constitution cannot be swept away.

The American public is being prepared. If the attack on Iran does come, there will be no warning, no declaration of war, no truth.
