This book is an anthology of the writing of Wilfred Burchett, perhaps the greatest journalist and war correspondent Australia has ever produced. He was also one of the most controversial figures of the Cold War, both in Australia and overseas. Burchett published more than 30 books, and this volume brings together extracts from most of these, spanning the entire breadth of his career, from before World War 2, through Hiroshima, Eastern Europe, Korea, Russia, Laos, Cambodia, China, Vietnam, Angola, Rhodesia and other areas from which Burchett reported. The book presents these fields of reportage chronologically, and thus serves not only as a significant historical overview of the period, but also as a reader in Cold War journalism.

John Pilger is one of the world's renowned investigative journalists and documentary filmmakers. In this classic book, with an updated introduction, he reveals the secrets and illusions of modern imperialism. Beginning with Indonesia, he shows how General Suharto's bloody seizure of power in the 1960s was part of a western design to impose a 'global economy' on Asia. A million Indonesians died as the price for being the World Bank's 'model pupil'. In a shocking chapter on Iraq, he delineates the true nature of the West's war against the people of that country. And he dissects, piece by piece, the propaganda of the 'war on terror' to expose its Orwellian truth. Finally, he looks behind the picture-postcard image of his homeland, Australia, to illuminate an enduring legacy of imperialism: the subjugation of the First Australians.

Da Nelson Mandela ble løslatt fra fengsel i 1990 skapte det jubel både i Sør-Afrika og verden forøvrig. Men for folket hans er virkelig frihet fortsatt en fjern drøm. Et nådeløst økonomisk system skyver store deler av verdens befolkning ut i fattigdom, mens menn på prangende kontorer tvinger gjennom en politisk orden med tariffer og embargoer, kuler og bomber, og forvrenger selve frihetens språk. Pilger rapporterer fra Palestina, India, Sør-Afrika, Afghanistan, og øya Diego Garcia i det Indiske hav. Han gir levende øyenvitneskildringer og avslører våre herskeres hemmeligheter og løgner, og setter samtidig søkelyset på hendelser som har blitt forvist til glemselen. Med menneskelighet, humor og lidenskap hyller han dem som nekter å være ofre og som fortsetter å kreve sin frihet.
Strangelove-effekten : eller hur vi duperades till att acceptera ett nytt världskrig
I filmen Dr Strangelove från 1964 skildrar Stanley Kubrick det kalla krigets yttersta galenskap: ett nukleärt världskrig. Den amerikanske presidenten rekommenderas att slå till först, eftersom det "bara" leder till 10-20 miljoner döda ... Idag tycks en liknande galenskap ha gripit tag om det amerikanska imperiets ledning, hävdar John Pilger i Strange­love-effekten. Efter ­Jugoslavien 1999, Afghanistan 2001, Irak 2003 och Libyen 2011, är det nu de två stora globala - och kärnvapenutrustade - rivalerna Ryssland och Kina som ska konfronteras, till synes till varje pris. I boken tar John Pilger särskilt upp konflikt­härdar som Ukraina, Gaza, Afghanistan och Irak, men fördjupar sig också i mediernas och de intellektuellas roll i den pågående krigs­propagandan. I kapitlet "Beläg­ringen av Julian Assange är en fars", visar han hur djupt involverat Sverige har varit när det gäller att desarmera en av de viktigaste kritikerna av USA:s herravälde. OM FÖRFATTAREN John Pilger är en australisk reporter och doku­mentärfilmare, som rapporterat från konfliktzoner­ över hela världen från 1960-talet och framåt. På svenska har tidigare utgivits Den dolda dagordningen (1999), Det vi inte fick veta (2001) och Friheten får vänta (2007). UR BOKEN Under både Bush och Obama har ett 1800-talsmässigt im­perietänkande genomsyrat alla departement i USA. Den råa militarismen är på frammarsch, medan diplomatin skjuts åt sidan. Nationer och regeringar ses som antingen användbara eller umbärliga, och USA kan välja mellan att muta, hota och bestraffa dem. Den 31 juli publicerade National Defense Panel ett märkligt dokument som manade USA till att vara berett på att utkämpa sex större krig samtidigt. Överst på listan fanns Ryssland och Kina, båda kärnvapenmakter. På sätt och vis har ett krig mot Ryssland redan börjat. Medan världen förfärat iakttog Israels angrepp på Gaza betraktades liknande våldsdåd i östra Ukraina knappt som nyhetsmaterial. I skrivande stund [11 september 2014] är två ukrainska städer med rysktalande befolkning - Donetsk och Luhansk - utsatta för belägring: deras invånare, sjukhus och skolor bombas av en Kievregim som kom till makten i en kupp led av nynazister, stödda och betalade av USA. Kuppen bildade klimax i vad den ryske politiske observatören Sergej Glasjev beskrivit som en tjugo år lång "träning av ukrainska nazister riktad mot Ryssland". Fascismen i Europa har återuppstått, och inte en enda europeisk ledare har uttalat sig mot den, kanske eftersom fascismens frammarsch i Europa är ett faktum, även om fascisterna inte vill acceptera beteckningen fascister.

The United States’ military doctrine, as proclaimed by its Department of Defense, is to attain `full-spectrum dominance… in the air, land, maritime and space domains and information environment… without effective opposition or prohibitive interference.’ This is an agenda for global conquest – for an ever-expanding US empire. As America prepares for conflict with Russia and China, wars continue in the Middle East and North Africa, tens of millions are exiled from their homes whilst many more face famine. But there is not only hope for change in the air, there is active resistance. People all over the world are challenging the status quo by taking nonviolent action. Voices for Peace features some of the world’s leading thinkers, journalists and activists, offering insight, inspiration and solutions to the world’s most critical problems: nuclear war, environmental destruction and refugee flows. In the wealth of material presented here, Kathy Kelly talks about the Afghan Peace Volunteers and Standing Rock protesters in the USA, calling for global unity. Bruce K. Gagnon’s piece on space weapons discusses South Korean activists’ opposition to American weapons in their country. Brian Terrell challenges the legality of drone warfare and outlines the grassroots links being forged between US and Russian citizens. Noam Chomsky discusses US policies towards Russia and Syria, as well as South America, trade, ISIS and Ukraine. John Pilger talks about the Trump-Obama naval build-up around China and exposes Britain’s `deep state’ connections to the Manchester terror attack. Former US Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney analyses the Charlie Hebdo attacks and the deep state in recent US history. Ilan Pappé offers an exclusive analysis of Israel’s actions to ethnically cleanse Israel of Palestinians. Finally, Robin Ramsay exposes the unconditional support given to the USA by successive UK governments. Seeking to inform and educate, this penetrating anthology is edited and introduced by author T. J. Coles, who gives a broader framework and context to the individual articles.

Prison scandals, terrorism, corporate fraud, election riggingmost likely you have heard something of the sort in the last ten minutes. But what is truth and what is part of the great "washout" of biased reporting? A celebration of lucid investigative reporting, selected by titan of the craft John Pilger, could come at no better moment. Pilger's book travels through contemporary history, from war correspondent Martha Gelhorn's wrenching 1945 account of the liberation of Dachau to Edward R. Murrow's groundbreaking excavation of McCarthyism to recent coverage of the war in Iraq. This homage to brave, often unsettling coverage features a range of great writing, from Seymour Hersh's Vietnam-era muckraking to Eric Schlosser's expos of the fast-food industry to preeminent theorist Edward Said's writing on Islam and terrorism. Unrepentant in its mission to expose the truth behind the messages that politicians, warmongers, and corporate-run media inculcate, Tell Me No Lies is essential for anyone who wants to understand the world around them objectively and intelligently.It's not just a collection of high-quality reporting, but a call-to-arms to all who believe in honesty and justice for humanity.

By the journalist who won the International Reporter of the Year award and the United Nations Association Media Peace Prize, this book brings together the episodes for which his journalism is renowned, analyzing the nature of both these great upheavals and the domestic tragedies he has encountered. The result is as much a personal story as it is a tribute to the ordinary people he has come across living in difficult and brutal conditions. These are the "heroes" of the book. They include the Irish labouring generation of his great-great grandfather, who was transported in irons to Australia for "uttering unlawful oaths"; the modern poor of Britain whose hopes of a better life have been fostered for political expediency, and then betrayed; the victims of conflict in Vietnam, Cambodia, Africa, the Middle East and Central America; the people denied civil liberties in Czechoslovakia and the Soviet Union. He identifies some of the silences of imperial history, for example the largely untold story of the Aborigines.
Pilger in einer fremden Welt. John Nelson Darbys Kommentare zu Jakobus, Petrus und Judas
Die Briefe des Apostels Paulus betrachten den Christen h ufig in seiner in Jesus Christus bereits erreichten himmlischen Dimension. Jakobus, Petrus und Judas haben in ihren Schriften schwerpunktm ig einen anderen Aspekt des Christseins im Blick: Ihnen geht es um den Wandel, der f r Christen de facto noch auf der Erde stattfindet. Da der Christ durch den Kreuzestod Jesu Christi jedoch bereits von dieser Erde losgekauft ist, ist er hier unten im Grunde nur noch ein "Pilger in einer fremden Welt". John Nelson Darbys (1800-1885) Schriften, die in diesem Buch (mit einer Ausnahme) erstmalig aus dem Englischen bersetzt und kommentiert wurden, erweisen sich als u erst hilfreich, um die Briefe des Jakobus, Petrus und Judas tiefer zu verstehen. Dabei wird man teils erschreckende Parallelen zu den kirchlichen und religi sen Fehlentwicklungen unserer Zeit entdecken.
