I've often thought in the past that Pilger was a bit over the top and his use of language overly emotive. In this case it isn't. He appears to have gotten over his self absorption that so often polluted some of his earlier work, almost preaching to people.
Watch as Pilger brings his experience and language skills together in his later life in one of the most truthful, descriptive, insightful and powerful speeches I've seen in many many years.
He describes the catastrophe of the west in it's continual hugging of the failed experiment that is the US. The present danger of the war machine that is the US in today's world, and the aggression it's military is playing out right now against Russia and China.
Why are we allies with this crazy war monger nation? Why does Australia feel so in love with this place that in every societal level acts in a way that is so against the way our society acts? From guns to health care, from religion to politics, they have become something deeply foreign to Australians.
Yet our compliant major political parties immorally align themselves to this rouge state. Whilst we sleep. Electing FFS a dickhead like the most bizarre and incompetent PM in our modern history, being Abbott. The Lieberals announce a nearly $200 billion spend on war stuff, and we're silent. $200 billion in a country of only $23 million people. At what point did we all go stark raving mad?
Whilst the Abbott/Turnbull gov cuts deeply into social services that help Australians.
Talk about a ship of bloody fools.
