His final words here, about being on the side of the underdog, really do encapsulate the man and his enduring appeal. RIP John Pilger, a really very good man.
The underdog is not always the right decision too root for
two great men telling us of the state of the world, wonderful, my blessings.
Fantastic, very humanistic, progressive, inspiring and, well - hell of a warning regarding military threat to the world.
Two living legends
Exactly what I was about to write!
jason lovett gotta be quick in this day and age my friend
He is speaking the truth. I hope you someday you do open your eyes just a little bit. My folks came from Laos in which at the time the U.S had a Secret War in Laos. Our people suffer because of the U.S aggression and its secret war and brought upon our people. We had no weapon but farmers. But was attack by the American during the Vietnam war. If you do not see this. Then you aren't any different then Satan.
...and many of us fought against our own governments on the streets Bingku - in most nations the people are captured by their lying politicians. You must not confuse the issues; people rarely are proud of their governments and strive, as much as they can to call out truth.
I just love the two great men.
"...doe eyed toward power." Great description, Mr. Pilger.
Great interview, very respectful! Love the levels of knowledge both men seem to have.
If people like these two men could run and negotiate the world we would live in a beautiful and honest world
this conversation between Tariq ali and john pilger has inspired greatly. People need to realize that we can make a difference. I'm going to be a journalist and maybe a politician.

How about direct action to rid us all of Global Corporate Racketeering and the Capitalist Totalitarian State.
Constitutional Perfection yes that is how a proper political career should start, isn't it? from the ground up. ofcourse, it's a very daunting task: motivating and organizing people into a movement with clear goals and solutions. a movement with a real alternative for a functioning society.
Amazing and thank God for them
Love the Shostocovich intro!
EXCELENT!!! MASS RESPECT TO J.P and T.A
Geeze, I'd have to force myself to watch MSM for a week to re-indoctrinate myself after listening to these two have an actual discussion rooted in the real world. What a treat, and what an amazing contrast to what passes for informed discussion in corporate media.
I respect the collective intelligence and writing of both these two great men but I would dearly love them to revisit this wonderful two part series again now in late 2022 and listen to their opinions on these topics and including a discourse on Putin's attack on Ukraine's sovereignty and why it appears NATO is seemingly to be sitting on its hands. Decades ago as part of a degree I was undertaking, a prescribed study text was "A Secret Country" by John Pilger and while ditched most of my other text books I have kept and reread this anthology more than a few times. Both of these men are so engaging to listen to.
One of my neighbours in Hobart, Tasmania, was not only a perpetrator of goodness only knows how many assassinations and massacres in the dead of night in Vietnam ( we had conscription until 1972 ), as a member of the AIFs equivalent to the Green Berets,..a sad, grim hulk of a man, who used to sleep in his car, for whatever reason, on quite a few occasions, to the consternation of the streets inhabitants.
You almost expect to hear the music at the begining of Inside the Actors Studio.
great conversation between two wonderful truthteller and mythbusters though was quite upset with the Bernie bashing and the very soft criticisms and semi-praise of trump and brexit in the first part of the interview.
***** well we'll respectfully agree to disagree then...
Hey Tariq and John New Zealand also fought in the Vietnam War!
Yuri muckraker I wouldn't want to advertise that particular ' distinction ', if I were a ' kiwi ' ( presuming, perhaps wrongly, sorry, that you are one ). Don't forget the ( ahem ) ' contributions ' of the South Koreans and Filipinos !!!...
Albert Arthur Parsnips lol well its true, facts are fact New Zealand did fight in the Vietnam War. and Britain was more involved in the Vietnam war then it was lead to believe, Mark Curtis British historian who looks at declassified files on the British foreign policy heavily indicts the UK's involvement in the Vietnam War, I have to re-read the chapter in his two books but I could've sworn it showed the UK strategically and militarily was involved in the carnage of that war.
Since the days of Deng it has been a major thrust of Chinese leaders to give their people a better life. You ignore this point and pontificate on all other issues of little concern to others.In Tariq you now have found a partner who agrees with gibberish you now exhort.
Amazing.
Neither of them mention the one million Uyghurs imprisoned in Xinjiang.
No mention of democracy crushed in Hong Kong.
Total denial of human organ harvesting from prisoners :-
"The parliaments of Canada and the European Union, as well as the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives, have adopted resolutions condemning the forced organ harvesting from Falun Gong prisoners of conscience."
Pilger famously backed North Korea and the communists, then had to be helped by a marine to board a helicopter and flee when the Viet Cong occupied Saigon. (I wonder whether he said "Thanks")
Good interview until he starts the virtue signalling. Racial diversity is such a wonderful idea to people like John, so long as he doesn't actually have to live in a melting pot himself. No, that's for everybody else. He has the money to stay in his 98% ethnic European - or 'white' -- suburb, with its high social trust and low crime rate. Diversity for
thee, not for me.
Come on... A nation of 23 million or so, established and built by Europeans, absolutely *must* open its borders to Asia just for the sake of it...? China's up there with more than a billion people, the same in India, hundreds of millions in South East Asia, 250 million in
Indonesia... then there's little Australia (and NZ) down below with its small, relatively unique population in the region. And yet we have people saying, "Hey I know, let's create an Asian melting pot." How is this not utterly insane? For the record, most "refugees" in processing centres are economic migrants who often pay very decent money to human
traffickers. Look, I don't think anyone is against welcoming some people from vastly different places and cultures, but not in numbers that radically change the nation. That's not virtuous, that's suicidal.
Australia's one thing but you know what's truly bizarre? This astonishing attitude exists *in Europe itself*. You can find Swedish, German or Irish people welcoming the steady demise of their own ethnicity but, as usual, you never see them living in diverse areas.
Unbelievable. This is Twilight Zone stuff.
I think Australia culturally shows the difference between a tightly controlled immigration policy that in mainland Australia has been largely successful and beneficial compared to the uncontrolled mass migration into other western nations?
The phrase "virtue signalling" indicates the result of a US education. Kids are taught it at school then they drag it out to sound slightly educated -- when in fact the level of their discussion remains at Primary School level.
what stooge of evil
