Jan 16, 2015 Among the items posted today to 'The New Cold War: Ukraine and beyond' is a speech by Australian independent journalist John Pilger, delivered to the Logan Symposium of the Center for Investigative Journalism, at the Barbican Center, London UK, on Dec. 5, 2014. http://newcoldwar.org/ Pilger's speech is titled, 'War by media and the triumph of propaganda'. He opens it by noting, "The world is facing the prospect of major war, perhaps nuclear war, with the United States clearly determined to isolate and provoke Russia and eventually China. This truth is being turned upside down and inside out by journalists, including those who promoted the lies that led to the bloodbath in Iraq in 2003." A portion of Pilger's speech is dedicated to Ukraine. He says, "The suppression of the truth about Ukraine is one of the most complete news blackouts I can remember." He goes on to tear into liberal media who he accuses of acting as handmaidens to a new cold war. He says their "inversion of reality is so pervasive that Washington's military encirclement and intimidation of Russia is not contentious". You can read or watch Pilger's speech here.
