John Pilger Quotes

Vietnam was as much a laboratory experiment as a war Picture Quote #1

Official truths are often powerful illusions Picture Quote #1

Classic nineteenth century European imperialists believed they were literally on a mission. I don’t believe that the imperialists these days have that same sense of public service. They are simply pirates Picture Quote #1

The censorship is such on television in the U.S. that films like mine don’t stand a chance Picture Quote #1

Orwell is almost our litmus test. Some of his satirical writing looks like reality these days. When you have someone like Cheney who talks about endless war or war that might last fifty years, he could be Big Brother. You have Bush incessantly going on about the evil ones Picture Quote #1

It’s very clear that the Bush Administration is out of control. It contains some truly dangerous people Picture Quote #1

The people who died in the Twin Towers in that terrible crime mattered. The people who were bombed to death in dusty villages in Afghanistan didn’t matter, even though it now seems that their numbers were greater. The people who will die in Iraq don’t matter Picture Quote #1

Using the passive voice is always very helpful. Mind you, a lot of that propaganda English emanates from here. The British establishment has always used the passive voice. It’s been a weapon of discourse so those who committed terrible acts in the old empire could not be identified Picture Quote #1

In these surreal days, there is one truth. Nothing justified the killing of innocent people in America last week and nothing justifies the killing of innocent people anywhere else Picture Quote #1

I love irony in pictures. There’s one photograph from Vietnam by Philip Jones Griffiths that shows a very large GI having his pocket picked by a tiny Vietnamese woman. It told the whole story of the clash of two cultures and how the invader could never win Picture Quote #1

More terrorists are given training and sanctuary in the United States than anywhere on earth. They include mass murderers, torturers, former and future tyrants and assorted international criminals. This is virtually unknown to the American public, thanks to the freest media on earth Picture Quote #1

There is no War on Terrorism; it is the Great Game speeded up. The difference is the rampant nature of the superpower, ensuring infinite dangers for us all Picture Quote #1

The impact of the human tragedies I’ve reported on is that, more often than not, I’ll be angry. I want to know why is this child dying? these are not acts of God; they’re results of respectable politicians’ decisions Picture Quote #1

We have an extreme rightwing government in this country, although it’s called the Labour government Picture Quote #1

The censorship is such on television in the U. S. That films like mine don’t stand a chance Picture Quote #1

I’m absolutely convinced of that. Israel is the representative of the United States in that part of the world. Its policies are so integrated with American policies that they use the same language Picture Quote #1

I grew up in Sydney in a very political household, where we were all for the underdog Picture Quote #1

Orwell is almost our litmus test. Some of his satirical writing looks like reality these days Picture Quote #1

During my lifetime, america has been constantly waging war against much of humanity: impoverished people mostly, in stricken places Picture Quote #1

Secretive power loathes journalists who do their job: who push back screens, peer behind façades, lift rocks. Opprobrium from on high is their badge of honour Picture Quote #1

It is not enough for journalists to see themselves as mere messengers without understanding the hidden agendas of the message and the myths that surround it Picture Quote #1
