About the speakers:
Julian Assange joins the panel via videolink. Assange is an award-winning journalist and the founder and editor-in-chief of WikiLeaks. He is also a programmer, cryptographer, author and activist. Founded in 2006, WikiLeaks has published millions of leaked documents and several videos.

John Pilger, please live for ever. We need you.
Assange too, for that matter.
I wouldn't wish eternal life here on Earth to our heroes for anything. How about we become the heroes we respect? Carry their light and thus carrying on their mission. We are John Pilger, we are Julian Assange, we are WikiLeaks...we ARE THE LIGHT! :)
JP supports brutal dictatorships around the world.
Julian Assange, please live forever too!
@@rebelxapologist4505 It's just an expression of how much we need intelligent analytical voices like this.
I pray for Julian as he has imprisoned himself for the sake of truth. What a hero!
John Pilger. A Reporter with integrity and conscience.
Julian is an amazing person who we feel is very truthful and whats to help us all with the truth
Julian, continue to shine light on the lust for power
Watching this In 2022, How clearly we can see Assange today even more. What a courageous human being. Prayers & blessings to him & his family & wife & children & supporters.
He did for Putin more than any westerner, glory to him, glory to Russia!
Watching Nov 2023. It is obscene to witness the UK Authotities refusal to adhere to the UN Arbitary Detention convention sees Julian still incarcerated in Belmarsh Prison, solitary, without charge...pending Court decision on his appeal against extradition to US for trial on espionage charges.
Thorough exposure of the flight from Rule of Law by UK Authorities combined with a lethal misinformation campaign dpearheaded by MSM in UK US Sweden Australia NZ ×+
Popular uprising activism working for Julian's freedom
I feel so sorry for this brave man how can the uk say there for human rights when they treat a man like this because he tells the truth they dont want there lies of what they do in our name
I wish more people would open their eyes to this.
Well done! Julian and Pilger, my favourite journalist-truth-teller and writer; now commentator.
He is the best in this century, He is trying to save us against criminals
massoud... i dont understand extactly what he is saving us from. I don't understand how Assange fits in the picture. please help. I hear the news bashing him on one chanel and praising him on the other channel but no one says what is it he did that was so good or bad... Can you explain?
Heart breaking to see Julian Assange coughing every ten seconds...
what is this "signal" of fake coughing that I see a lot of the time , it really bugs me
That was in the good old days before he was sent to a solitary confinement block of a maximum security prison without trial.
@@DJ-Brownie-UK What is the signal of fake coughing that really bugs you? He's clearly deteriorated from his imprisonment in the Ecuadorean Embassy up to that point combined with the stress of knowing the US was conspiring to destroy him. He stutters, loses his train of thought, and you can hear him struggling to suppress the cough while he's speaking. If what you're saying is he pulling an act, he should get an Oscar for the rest of his life for juggling all those fake patterns while speaking on a topic.
If you're saying he's bullshitting, I find that incredible given that he's not been caught lying publicly at any time as far as I understand it. He's the gold standard for honesty adrift in a vast sea of bullshit and lies.
@@ghandb Go back to sleep Numb Nuts. Julian Paul Hawkins as he was born before he became Ass-ANGE(L) is an Actor who performs various dramatic scenes in front of cameras to keep desert heads like yours engaged and entertained. Just in case you also didn't know Wrestling is fake too. sorry to burst your bubble but hey there's always time to grow up
@@ghandb his behaviour reminded me of myself when I was depressed and had many issues stemming from PTSD.
I started having tics (breathing pattern, coughing, eye movement), trouble forming sentences, losing focus every 10 seconds etc. Thankfully I've been able to train most of it away after treatment. I hope Julian will one day be able to focus on living a healthy life without fear.
As I listen to Asange, I feel like turning off all forms of media and embrace my early morning walks, my hard bound books and my fifty year collection of vinyl for entertainment, and personal survival. Time to let go of all electronic devices and grow my magic garden into a community space for conversation with neighbors and friends. Thank you for this new awareness and enlightenment.
When war comes to your door you will look back on this comment and weep
@@DSimonJones he still is correct. or what other alternative do you propose?
The problem is you cannot let your devices go or you will cease to be able to function in any meaningful sense
@@ArundoTrad that's a bit exaggerated. There is plenty of meaningful existence without electronic devices. What exactly is there to lose?
@Christine Fischer access to your bank account and every other service. A bit naive to think it will go any other way.
Good piece here. Must watch again. The Aussies should be proud.
Most people don't want the truth...Sad... Julian a true Hero ,Thank you from American
Diana... I dont understand why Julian Assange is a hero or a criminal. What did he do? What did Assange say that is substantive... everyone seems to speak in generalities... and I have no idea what opinion to form. Thanks for letting me know..
@@eveelsbury8341 maybe not hero in one since but a truth teller yes. We were being lied to in the USA about people being killed, when Obama was in office . But I guess to some he is bad for letting us know. Also telling us about Hillary Clinton and DNC. But the bad and good players are so blended together in the USA. I think JA should not have any charges in the USA and let he go on with his life.I don't think him and I are of like mind in politics not sure. Time to thank him for his standing up for truth and let him live his life now as a free man.
Greatest respect to two titans of our times: John Pilger and Julian Assange. You dare to speak truth to power. John Pilger is a man of the greatest integrity and warm humanity. John has always courageously and outspokenly been a voice for the neglected, repressed and mistreated. John, you are truly a voice, an outstanding voice in our world and times for compassion, wisdom and the warmest embrace of what it is to be human at our best. Thankyou to all three speakers and the organizers.
Thank god people with integrity and conscience still exists
Look what they have done to him. All illegal but a warning to other real journalists. I don't even know why we bother with elections.
Love you Julian. I miss you. This world is agonizing without you.
I feel physically sick listening to how we have been manipulated and all the deaths!
Watching this again now 5 years later brings shivers to my spine as to how eerily accurate John Pilger's vision of how things would progress into the current Ukrainian conflict manipulated by by NATO propaganda.
Yep
It's so scary. Why ppl don't know about this 😢
LOOOOOL
NATO= stand for, Northern Aggression Terrorists Organization.
#AJAB
All MSM Journalists are bastards...
Wow. John Pilger's speeches ALWAYS bring me to tears. Soooo good!
Well said
The Guardian did a job on me, so I can say he's spot on.
Imagine what we had to endure before having to endure corporate news disseminated to our homes unimpeded and unchallenged on a daily basis. Thank God for people and sources like these. What a sobering piece of information.
I have to admit Sir j. Assange will be remembered for many years to come, extremely lucky gentleman.Respect to him. We want to end the Zionist state occupation of Palestine please.
I was proudly working at BBC News in the early nineties on the technical side, recording journalists’ reports as they came in. Being of Serb origin I listened with interest to the reports about the war in the former Yugoslavia. I’m not a ‘political’ person by nature but this matter was close to my heart. When I noticed that completely unverified anti Serb reports were being aired I was in shock. A lot of those reports turned out to be completely incorrect. Yet there was never any apology. The Serbs were totally demonised, and still are to this day. The UK has written it’s version of history and it’s teaching it in our schools pointing the finger of guilt firmly at those ‘genocidal Serbs’ to justify it’s bombing of innocent civilians and illegal trespass by building it’s enormous NATO base on Serbian land in Kosovo. It disgusts me how righteous the West paints itself to be while ruining other lands and lives.
Now I see the same thing happening with Russia and it’s people.
In conclusion: whatever the MSM say, the truth is probably the opposite. As Pilger says ‘The crimes of America never happened’. When you think that the US is the only country to throw not one, but two nuclear bombs on innocent civilians in Japan and NOONE was punished ! How can they talk about taking Putin to their court of human rights when they do far more evil acts?
There was a 2016 NHK documentary called Executive Non-Decision telling from declassified archived documents that Truman didn’t give the orders to drop the bombs, he wasn’t involved before FDR died and killing women and children civilians just didn’t make sense. He didn’t like to be framed for the crime. The military gave the order then reported to him giving him no choice but to read from the script. But the documentary stopped there. Well, who gave the order to the military in the first place? Who invested in the Manhattan Project and owned the bombs? This remains to be classified, probably forever. But that wasn’t hard to figure out. Since WW1 JP Morgan was the designated financier of both domestic and foreign governments. At Wall Street they organised other bankers and industrialists of their investments. There weren’t that many tycoons back then. Many books have talked about them. In order to promote the bomb they must drop them in battle to prove their worth. There were bomb planes as well as film planes. The second bomb changed target from Tottori to Nagasaki due to cloud covering that probably wouldn’t affect the bombing but the filming. Afterwards they sold more than 50,000 bombs in 50 years and still going. What profitable business!
Far more evil acts? Really? I want Bush and Blair in front of a court. I was on the streets before that irak war began and while it was going on. I know it was all a bout the bloody oil. But just as then I am also now protesting Russia's war of aggression. What a pathetic leader Putin is. He could have waited . NATO was weakening, Us was dithering and is turning inwards. He did not need to kill his brothers. I think China has influenced him. Xi is another super ego in this earth who thinks he is the state. Never put all the power in one man's hand. And here finally I agree,: the media should to be free and independent but: as long as the media are run by humans..it will never be totally neutral. If the media are run by algorithms: it will be worse.
2011 Syrian war propaganda was the last time I have ever watched BBC news or paid for a tv licence.
Well said
I'm pleased for you as you got to see and hear 1st hand the perfidious BBC at work, question everything, my best wishes to you.
Free Julian let him get health care!!!!!!
A MOST EXCELLENT video - thank you so much.
The main stream media is the metaphorical equivalent of a sewer running directly running through your living room.
Murdock
THANK YOU, HEREOS!!!
I wish they would not interrupt Julian when he speaks.
am i the only concerned about his cough + health? Love you Assange,
Are you saying you're a doctor and capable of diagnosis by watching someone through a monitor screen?
+ Peter Martyn I'm not a doctor, but I came to the same conclusion; if he'd been very ill I doubt he would have attended the conference; it's just observation! To assume more is to be a bit of a drama queen o dingbat.
Praying for his health and freedom and emotions....
+ Dianna Cokinos. Yup, that's gonna solve all his problems for him - 'laudable motives, but little grasp of reality!
ANY Mom can diagnose a cold.
This is a remarkable video, it should be essential viewing for all journalists, press barons and politicians in the world. John Pilger is an icon.
You would think this was an invasion of privacy.
But it’s a useful tool for control.
I Remember reading about Pilgers work & hearing his take on world events thru the Daily Mirror ( even as I was young in age, I was taught to respect honest/ investigative journalism early in life.) He therefore inspires us all to want to promote truth 😉 against the lies told to us Daily.
Seems I should investigate all the good works Jonathan Heawood has done, What a great panel you have here! Thankyou.
John Pilger talk on Yugoslavia and Irak is more than a clear truth, and it is visible now, almost 20 years later after both countries are looted disturbed and displaced from history
John pilger. Thankfully we still have Independent journalism, we must hold on to the likes of John and James Corbett.
Assange looks unwell the strain of his inhuman imprisonment beginning to show
YOU SHOULD SEE HIM NOW! AN ABOMINATION BY THE TWO MOST FAKE DEMOCRACIES ON THE PLANET!
John Pilger is a living legend for truth seeking, I admire you full heartedly for being the light in the darkness for five decades! I wish you take care and live a long life to see the world is changing into a hopeful and better one, the hegemony imperialist is in fact collapsing in front of our eyes right now!
Yup... Now, please check out these FACTS that are on the Web: "In 250 years of existence as a nation, the US has fought against 29 sovereign countries. (In Fact, since 1785, we have been involved, for 231 years, in some kind of war. And this wars, against all varieties of nations. From going against the Sultan of Morocco, to invading the tiny island of Grenada, 1983. Well, this means that in our entire history, we have only had 17 years of peace, and even fewer, cuz here the almost 5 years of our Civil War (Union/Confed 1861‒1865), are Not counted, since this war was not with another country, but against us. And the wars against the Native Nations of America either are not counted, for the same reason). Anyway: We fought against 29 countries. We have "Grown" 711 the size of our territory from the original 13 colonies.

Buenas noches Jorge. No dominó el inglés pero si mi interés por este tipo de información.
Jhon Pilger y otros verdaderos periodistas deben ser escuchados. Sabes si este vídeo existe doblado al español?
Pilger discussing Burma. Spot on.
Wish you will long life n be safe, Bless you always
JULIAN IS NOT WELL, HAS BEEN PENNED UP FOR YEARS, & SHOULD BE RELEASED ON GROUNDS OF ILL HEALTH. HIS ONLY CRIME HAS BEEN SEEKING THE TRUTH!!,
Julian kicking ass with words of truth.
the establishment press ELECTED Trumpf! Unprecedented pre election spotlight was given him for FREE. b/c the establishment WANTS majority party (whoever they are) to have 100% unison and block vote to push through the 1% corporate agenda. Thats why democrats CHOOSE to be hibernating now. They know how the money is to be made: Just wait for the overwhelming backlash so that then THEY can collect money from the same 1% when their time comes and have 100% unison block dem vote to push through further the corporate agenda. It's a nice joke. It's a total drama. fake.
John Pilger acts as if we, the people can determine for ourselves who is telling us the truth just because we have the internet. I assume that he knows just how much disinformation is out there! I am retired and I cannot stay on top of it all. How are working people with families supposed to do it? We can basically discount whatever mainstream news is telling us but on the opposite side is disinformation from all sides! On top of that we are trying to navigate what news is relevant to our health, the education of our children, etc. How can we possibly discern, or form an opinion on world news when there are so many voices out there?
I agree so much, the effort involved in being able to sort right from wrong is becoming harder, because there is so much noise (fake news) to wade through, to find the closest approximation of the truth.
Yes Wikileaks has changed the game however as an eloquent presenter of reality John Pilger is a far more impressive speaker and writer.
He's not acting.... he is pointing out the way..... the information is there .. follow the money and the power and it's fairly easy to see what is likely to be true. Firstly do not believe anyone including John Pilger. Question everything. Even if one media stream was faithful it would inevitably become corrupted since as it gains more power that power will corrupt it.
These flowing words need to be told to the poor in local halls John Pilger etal so the people can come out in the streets
So much unadulterated truthfulness, no wonder the lie monsters fear his freedom.Free Assange.
Please share this with all your friends especially Americans British Canadians Australians, EU Nations, Africa, Asia.
So not Russia and the entire continent of South America?
Bravo aux trois intervenants très méritants pour leurs engagements et leurs travails respectifs, et particulièrement à Monsieur John Pilger pour son émouvant discours dénonciateur des intrigues et agissements des vrais fomenteurs et producteurs de "fake news".
Partagé !
I agree, for the most part, with J. Pilger.
This debate should be part of every high schools curriculum in all NATO countries
Great speech John pillger
1:48:35 "... So much is devoid of evidence these days. Yet, evidence is the root of real journalism. But, who needs evidence when you're running a witch hunt or a campaign of rumors or hearsay? ..." This is followed with example after example of such witch hunts and campaigns and their tragic consequences. ... Yes, Pilger gave an excellent speech and we should listen very closely.
The pride of Australia
Pilger ‘s speech should be worldwide shown to all of us humans
Here's how stupid the world is...Jennifer Lawrence trips up stairs, Millions of hits on you tube from that, but this... 64,000 odd. Weird isn't it.?!
Mr. Pilget's otherwise well-documented list of atrocities is horribly marred by his sadly propaganda-laden diatribe against Ukraine...the words could have been written by Putin. Literally fake news.
We can not let this man be treated like this anymore he is not well this british gorvement are so evil
Wonderful debate so much wisdom from experience 👏👏free Assange 💚🤍🧡 ✌
Great to see this... wow.. Humanity is catching up with these phenomenal journalists! One of a kind for sure.. xx...
We need more journalists like John Pilger. Sadly, he’s a breed that is nearly dead, as is the truth - though I try to search for that to save my sanity. Most people in the West don’t care about the truth and that to me is alarming. They just seem to want to have fun constantly for fear the truth will depress them too much and they won’t be able to cope.
Once people get used to being lied to and controlled it’s almost impossible to go back. I feel like Winston living in his Orwellian world. Talking about what’s happening with others makes me feel like I’m a modern day party pooper. Pass the salt dear…
FREE JULIAN !
Thank you for this debate.
Thank you, Julian Assange, take care of your health. Get a black belt or something.
So terribly tragic how the international establishment treats Assange for merely his desire to deliver the truth
@@tapolna Merely?Desire? lol
Serena Shim. an example of a real journalist..... a matyr for truth...... true bravery
.
Tänk om en enda journalist eller makthavare orkade lyssnade till detta. Tror jag tyvärr inte, Sverige i synnerhet. Tack Norge!
Earnest.....I was raised that Trust is Earned not a Given, Truth will STAND, a lie must be re created, over and over and is a Replica, never never an Original. Be yourself.
What do we do to our heros?
Why I say the Monopoly is that this peaches one of the greatest speeches ever from some of the greatest people ever and nobody will ever really hear it and the people that do here it will not really get their voice be actually heard by the media a couple of us may slip by but it's a small number to the 7.3 billion people in the world
Thanks for Sharing!!!
veteran John Pilger shows the emperor has no cloths.
Welcome the concept of HobergPrize in the conference due to choice of 2 great personalities.
John Pilger a true global humanitarian ❤
Brilliant summing up by Mr. Pilger...we are lucky to have access to this....
There is a balance that needs to be maintained worldwide.
#FreeAssange !!
i miss Julian's free speech.
the world is blessed to have John Pilger in it
for the hard working, MSM deceived, people ...
about 00:11:00 Julian Assange
about 00:56:00 questions for Julian
about 01:19:00 Jonathan Heawood
about 01:43:00 John Pilger
about 02:38:00 Now aday's History, 'quality'
John Pilger's key note address was masterfully presented; intellectually emotional in the sense that this horrible truth hurts. Not just for the MSM-mesmerized masses, but encouragement for those who demand more of journalism and the criminal kleptocrats posing as public officials. Thanks for breaking down the presentation into constituent markers J oker. I've gotta listen to Pilger's segment again.
John Pilger is a living 'Giant' just as Julian Assange is! I'm thankfull to live in time's of this incredible great Hero's!
The flower-power people turned into the evil, corrupted ones! Sad but true
I was brought up to believe that John Pilger was an extremist, and not to be believed because he wrote for the Daily Mirror - how wrong I was.
Assange is a great human being, a Hero of our times, how helpless are the millions of people for wnome he's suffering, that they can not get him freed, amd can never get his life back. Such a huge loss to the World's masses, their Champion shut away so he can't provide them with the truth that can affect them, even their life or death.
Spot on friends .
Pretty sure Assange had no intention of hurting anyone and there are some who manipulate and don't realize they do it. I am pretty sure education was his intent.
Brilliant speakers all of them
I marvel over how sometimes the best writers aren't always the best speakers. FREE ASSANGE!!!!
Free Julian Assange He never comes up short.
The Truth.

2:07:20 it was great to see J. Pilger laugh, indeed.
Thank you John Pilger.
You indeed will be remember as one of the Best from the Rest.
When has manipulation never not been used by humanity? Independent thinking (questioning) is not bad.
Assange in 2017 talking about big tech medding i french election and here we are today
thanks for the upload, i liked the list of contents. I wish Julian Assange had received and distributed the real story of 9/11. I liked the other speakers too, but this was not a debate.
Pilger tells exactly why they are afraid of Assange.
This should be heard I can't believe 218 k views i wish the whole world could hear this
After beautiful speaches and applaud nothing will change and everything will stay the same.
295 comments in 3years - that shows how important this isn't to the great unwashed. That is the real problem.
Spectacular expose!
J. Assange, J. Pilger Humanity owes you debt that can never be repaid
How right he was.
Assange will be remembered as a hero in history
American democracy is built on this model: "The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. ...We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized. Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together as a smoothly functioning society. ...In almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons...who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind. " "If we understand the mechanism and motives of the group mind, is it not possible to control and regiment the masses according to our will without their knowing about it? The recent practice of propaganda has proved that it is possible, at least up to a certain point and within certain limits." - Edward Bernays (1928).
Everyone should read _Propaganda_ today.
Thomas Jefferson created the electoral college to control mob rule so America has never been a democracy yes they have a democratic voting system but the majority are ignored and a small minority decide, Mob rule was a real concern in the 17th century
But mob rule is the majority rule the fundamental requirement to be classed a Democracy
Free Julian Assange!
We live you Julian❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Even way back then Assange was already foreseeing the downfall of the unipolar world ! FREE ASSANGE !
prescient and an existential threat to illegitimate dastardly established order: yet he is behind bars and murderers of flesh and truth itself, walk free and are yet elected-dystopian already no? bless this brother and his fam and friends.
Pathological liars abound in the MBA professions.
1:21:17 that is sth i have been convinced of for a long time: humans can´t organize in numbers bigger than what constitutes a small village. things simply go corrupt. my conclusion is: de-globalize. decrease world-wide trade (step-by-step, not all at once, i know that would lead to incredible suffering), the goal is to go back to a regional life style where you reap what you sow.
