Description: Freedom Next Time: Filmmaker & Journalist John Pilger on Propaganda, the Press, Censorship and Resisting the American Empire "Liberal Democracy is moving toward a form of corporate dictatorship. This is an historic shift, and the media must not be allowed to be its façade, but itself made into a popular, burning issue, and subjected to direct action," said John Pilger. "That great whistleblower Tom Paine warned that if the majority of the people were denied the truth and the ideas of truth, it was time to storm what he called the Bastille of words. That time is now." We spend the hour airing a recent lecture by the acclaimed Australian filmmaker and muckraker.

Asmatsodai ::: Favorites Pilger is right. What worries me most is not, primarily, that the American/British/corporate/Murdoch alliance is taking over the world and removing the rights and freedoms of the poeple of the Earth, it's the fact that the people seem to be letting them do it. We need a revolution. We need several revolutions, and we need the ability to call corporations and their masters to account for their crimes. 07-09-05 04:06:46 __________________________________________________

jimbobeire ::: Favorites "it's the fact that the people SEEM to be letting them do it." That's another part of the censorship. Not only do the omit to mention the crimes of their buddies in power, they don't tell us about the resistance going on everyday, in Iran, Iraq, Saudi Latin America, the US and Europe. They want us to feel powerless. 07-10-16 06:33:30 __________________________________________________
