Exposing John Pilger & U.K. Stop the War Coalition

Parliament Square Peace Campaign | 26.01.2014 07:41 | Anti-militarism | Repression | Social Struggles | London | World


We recently exposed how John Pilger had never accurately reported on our campaign, including that he lied about the fact that our campaign continued.

Nevertheless, John Pilger who is unapologetic about his own lies for the British Establishment of media and government, uses his latest article to continue to position himself as one of...the people.

The tactic of controlled opposition like the media, and including John Pilger, is to invent and use the role of "journalist" to put out selective facts, with the purpose of "informing"...the people, that there is nothing...the people can do about those facts.

Update: Exposing John Pilger & U.K. Stop the War Coalition

15.12.2013: Pilger: An example of "investigative" journalism.

Pilger alludes to the -process of censorship- by omission to say:

Is media just another word for control ? January 2nd 2014


"...we in Britain have been misled by those whose job is to keep the record straight."

"...Pinter was referring to the systematic crimes of the United States and to an undeclared censorship by omission - that is, leaving out... information that might help us make sense of the world."

"Imagine if the lies of governments had been properly challenged and exposed as they secretly prepared to invade Iraq - perhaps a million people would be alive today"


________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________



Imagine if John Pilger and the leadership of the U.K Stop the War Coalition had told the truth about our campaign challenging the U.K State...for years !

John Pilger is being disingenuous when he claims that the "media has been hijacked".

The current mainstream media model which exists is purely profit driven could only ever lead, to business interests being placed before human life.

John Pilger along with all other traditional media, have all knowingly and willingly been entirely complicit in following the journalistic model that they report there is nothing the people can do to change anything.

The leadership of the U.K Stop the War Coalition are also part of the same -process- of censorship by omission.

The U.K Stop the War Coalition, "forgot" that when their Ken Livingstone was Mayor of London in 2007, and Tony Benn appeared on behalf of Democracy Village in the High Court, in 2010, that the leadership of U.K Stop the War Coalition, overtly sought to destroy our campaign.

It is therefore no surprise that the U.K Stop the War as news aggregators at www.stopwar.org, repeat Pilger's article, continuing what is a multi layered -process- of "censorship by omission".

This multi layered -process- of "censorship by omission" includes violent state repression of people neither Pilger nor U.K Stop the War Coalition can mention, because it is a process they are part of.

John Pilger and the leadership of the U.K Stop the War Coalition, are controlled opposition -whose sole purpose- in their separate roles, is to prevent the people...challenging...the system.

Their only true purpose remains, to preserve the status quo.

An anti-war movement that takes part in war propaganda

26.01.2014 07:50

.


" Building a phoney case for imperialist regime change is, of course, not unusual. What is really curious is that the leadership of the anti-war movement in the west – the people whose clear responsibility is to build the widest possible opposition to war on Syria – has been actively participating in the propaganda and demonisation campaign. Whilst opposing direct military strikes, they have nonetheless given consistent support to the regime change operation that such strikes are meant to consummate.

Wilfully ignoring the indications that the Syrian government is very popular, Tariq Ali – perhaps the most recognisable figure in the British anti-war movement – feels able to claim that “the overwhelming majority of the Syrian people want the Assad family out”. Indeed, he explicitly calls for foreign-assisted regime change, saying “non-violent pressure has to be kept up externally to tell Bashar he has to go.” "

losing the plot babbs

You really are losing the plot now Barbara. the stop the war movement are one of the only lines of defence against war this country has.

Lets remember the biggest demo in the uk was organised by stop the war against the war in Iraq.
John pilger is a film maker of films against war and exposing the truth.
i think you need some time in a mental hospital as your clearly losing the plot

LOL


Erm!

26.01.2014 16:34

So not content with alienating the entirety of the anti-war movement, Barbara Tucker is now turning her attention to proven contributors to the anti-war movement internationally.

When its all over Babs, there will only be you standing in Parliament Square without a single freind anywhere in the world.

I guess only then you will be happy!

Babsy the babster.


Pilger’s Racist Record.

26.01.2014 17:58

stopNewSS

StopNewSS is a small forum to record some of the events where the
racists in the British Media use John Pilger.

We ask anyone who may disagree with this to show to us the list of African, Asian and other non-European original thinkers whom Pilger has actually treated as an equal to Pilger.
We know there is no such list.
We know that Pilger has built his ‘crusading (!) reputation’ as being
a more effective champion of European superiority than many of the
‘traditional’ racists and Empire-perpetrators.

Scan the magazines, the journals and look at the archives (his talks, his interviews, his broadcasts, seminars plus) featuring Pilger about South America, about African and about Asia.

What you find is that it is Pilger who emerges as the most superior thinker and philosopher.

Despite there being billions of people in Africa, Asia and South America, there is not one who could match Pilger in Intellect, Ethics, Morality, Politics, or Strategy.

That is Pilger’s Racist Record.

Not what it seems.

"Despite there being billions of people in Africa, Asia and South America, there is not one who could match Pilger in Intellect, Ethics, Morality, Politics, or Strategy."

Dumb, really dumb.

Only in your mind is the above statement true, and only then because you wish it to be true.

Pilger is just a small feature in a vast landscape.

He has done his bit...but everybody has and is doing their bit.

Personally, I think he is wrong on many counts...I also think he is right on many others.

Save your hate campaign for the psychiatrist.
