John Pilger died a year ago on 30 Dec 2023.
“Better than just about anyone else, he used his prodigious talents to simply do his job as a reporter.”
That’s why I saw him shunned and banned from Australian mainstream media, both corporate and the public broadcaster.
👉 But he remains highly celebrated in alternative and independent media, and amongst a global family of communities, citizens, and independent journalists,

The Liberal Party has hired New Zealand-based creative agency Topham Guerin, known for its aggressive use of disinformation tactics and deepfake technology, to bolster the Coalition’s chances in the next federal election, reports @JasonKoutsoukis https://t.co/Bxt5eLk9Cq
Two of Trevor’s friends died sleeping rough. He wants homelessness deaths investigated.

@SallyLawry @fretfulpig@BarbaraPocock I guess it depends on what you mean by wealthy. I'm 68 (would love to retire) still having to work, renting (not able to buy) and could end up on the streets as homeless when I finally have to retire.
#DairyFarmers are the scum of the earth.!!!! How dare the bastard want to have Native Kangaroos killed so he can continue abusing Dairy Cows and ripping away their Calves and killing them at a week old or sending to slaughter. Piss off you moron!!!🤬🤬🤬🤬
Incredible, disgraceful, appalling, that this should happen under a Labor government. It is, in effect, a tax on education. A betrayal of young people which should utterly shame the ALP. https://t.co/H6jmP0vv6R
The World Court ruled this afternoon that Israel's 57-year military occupation of the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza has mutated into an illegal act of annexation.
The ruling is earth-shattering for many reasons.
It confirms that Israel meets the legal definition of an apartheid state.
It points to the fact that Israel's creation of hundreds of Jewish-only colonies on Palestinian land is inherently tied to a programme of ethnic cleansing.
It reaffirms the legal reality that Israel has no "right of self-defence" when its annexation is a permanent and overt act of aggression against the Palestinian people.
It strongly suggests that for decades the West has been colluding in Israel's crimes against humanity, just as it is now actively complicit in Israel's genocide in Gaza.
It bolsters the case, made by prosecutors at the World Court's sister court, the International Criminal Court, that Netanyahu and the rest of the Israeli leadership are war criminals and should be arrested.
And it concludes that the Palestinians are owed massive reparations.
At a bare minimum, western governments must recognise the state of Palestine and impose sanctions on Israel until it withdraws from the occupied territories.
Watch them continue to do the exact opposite.
Watch them pretend that today's ruling never happened.
Watch them continue to make a mockery of international law.
@PeterCronau@abcnews@CIJ_ICJ You have to scroll way way way way down to the bottom, and there is a story filed under "WORLD" news around midnight. They didn't think it was worth a tweet or more prominent position! ABC controlled by Zionists!
“You are so negative, Peter, we have actually covered that story…”
There are 94 stories on the @ABCnews homepage this morning — including National Top Stories — but not a mention there for their loyal ABC audience, that the International Court of Justice @CIJ_ICJ has just concluded that Israel is breaking international law in its building of ‘settlements’ on occupied #Palestinian land — and that Israel should immediately halt and pay compensation for human rights violations in the occupied territories.
But my former ABC colleague is indeed technically ‘correct’ — having now word-searched the entire ABC website, I’ve found this single ever-so-brief NewsRadio audio-only report - https://t.co/Hx7B3VhO7m
@EdH38768354@AmyRemeikis How sad. I was taught looking out for one another was important. We only exist in relationship. Looking outwards, and caring for others is the only thing worth doing.
Here are just some of the 20 rusting nuclear subs that the UK has decommissioned. They are all holding high level nuclear waste.
The UK has no solution to this problem and has been waiting decades for a sucker like the Albanese government to take this off their hands.
@sszinglehead No, they don't have to run a budget yet. But Labor are gutless. They can spend a lot more, yes double, but fear holds them back. They are SCARED. Absolutely pathetic.
