this guy is awesome, no it's not a racist comment, it's the truth, this country was founded on slavery (africans) and genocide (native americans), I've seen him speak before, but didn't get his name, he's on point, ON POINT. and I'm black so I see him as a racial smokescreen to make people feel like there's racial "change" whereas it's worse than ever.
when I see people driving with their obama stickers on their cars, I really hope they are embarrassed.

There is no free market capitalism in the world except for a few countries.. There is big goverment and fascsim.. Pilger doesnt know anything about economics.. He praises leader who may be well entioned but have competely empowerished their nations like chavez..

Watch John Pilger clips and learn a thing or two. He is a war journalist since Vietnam. Travels world wide asking all the hard hitting questions. Most other journos are intellectual prostitutes.
Best analysis of the Obama phenomenon I've ever seen. I was never taken in by the man, everything about him was so stage-managed - his promises so unbelievable, his corporate backers so powerful. The American people were cruelly deluded into supporting an upper-class stooge.
John speaks truth to power once again but is of course practically 'banned' by MSMedia. His books & Documentaries do however get fairly wide viewing/reading figures so there are many informed souls out there - they need to gather others around them though so perhaps we can have some hope.
This speech could be shortened to "Broken Election Promises". Anybody can go through every president and write such a speech about each and everyone of them and broken election promises. But the fact that this guy specifically chooses Obama and no other, I sense a political undertone, a counter-propaganda to the propaganda,
@187prettyboy No, this sounds like a little dose of real truth.
FOX plays the R team vs. D team game. This man is telling you that propaganda (including FOX) makes you think you have a choice, when you really don't. All that really changes is the rhetoric. At the highest levels there is no difference between the two parties. They keep us distracted with trivial garbage, while they get away with murder.
What Pilger says at the end, quoting Chris Heges, is part of the class of techniques invented by psychologist Edward Bernays - the father of modern propaganda and consent-engineering techniques.
There is a masterful documentary from the BBC on him. Look it up - "The Century of the Self."
@qwertymanor that is an understatement. Americans are still climbing over each other to get the latest iPhone. They'll paint their faces, bang their chests at a football game, but can you imagine if they got that passionate over politics and ousted their criminal puppet government a long time ago? They need to wake up and fast, otherwise....perhaps they deserve to be enslaved.
@SilverRedIndigo John Pilger is a UK resident and doesn't occupy Aboriginal land. He is just as eloquent in exposing how Australia treats its Aboriginal population from government lip service, to the corporate annexation and pillaging of Aboriginal land, to the Narrabri police beating of a respected Aboriginal elder. He knows what's going on and speaks the truth to those of us who are listening. Your puerile, inept, self indulgent comment doesn't even pass for criticism. It is pure ignorance.
What he brings up about Obamas past has been well documented, we know he was working for the CIA & was using his indonisian passport to travel back & forth to pakastan. BIC is CIA.
J. Pilger hits the nail on the head, and there is more to it than mentioned here. The sum total of world affairs as determined by those few "Godfathers" of menace, the gangster banksters, with their political puppets, and media propagandists spreading their global gospel according to the mighty dollar are taking us all to a nuclear catastrophe.They have created a GLOBAL multi-cultural, financial, nuclear, pharmaceutical, military monster that is now out of control. World War Three is inevitable.
"The class one serves." That's the rub... and Obama has failed like no other.
Banker Bailouts have stolen 27.3 Trillion dollars from us... black, white, or green Obama is screwing over the very people he is supposed to be serving. (by the way he is only 6% black... if you want an altruistic, actual black politician look no further than Cynthia McKinney)
Capitalism is the wage slavery of immense humanity in a politically manipulated,tyrannical MARKET MECHANISM of artificial scarcity to perpetuate the conditions of servitude and compliance in the interest of the OWNING/RULING CLASS. Capitalism in State dictatorship or Corporate Fascism modality is a monetary control,suppression and deception of the Working Class across the world. We need to reclaim our lives,our Planet for a world of cooperation for our common needs and well being.
She bounced all over the world gathering intelligence for the agency. Her ‘husband’ was cover. Obama was recruited into the CIA while he was attending Occidental College in LA, and his first cover assignment was in Columbia, and then he went on to do intel work in Pakistan. He still is CIA.
BTW...Get over the racism thingy. Obama serves his corporate masters well.
I knew Obama wasn't going to enact change after about his first month in office.
The whole war on terror is a scam. If there was a credible threat to the USA from outside terrorists, the Mexican border would be shut and there would be a moratorium on immigration until tensions had eased. But none of that has happened - the whole thing is just a smoke screen - a spook story to keep the populace fearful and clingy. The PATRIOT act is is too convenient for Obama to get rid of as well.
Nothing racist about this. I'm black and I don't see what he said is racist. In fact, I applaud this Pilger for the truth is brings to all of us, so we can understand truly what is happening. This guy is a legend man, the first to bring so much into light and all he has said long before, has come to pass.
The man is 100% spot on. It is Junk Politics and Obama is a liar, a corporate brand, an advertising tool and nothing more than that. I won't be suprised he was trained by the FBI - polished.
Anyone who sees what obama is as my applaud, obama is just another "peacemaker" of the world like the rest of the other scum bags who made wars for profit.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I believe John Pilger to be a talented journalist, and some of his investigations over the years have been revelations, however I try to remember that he is also an adept self-promoter and this had probably contributed to his success. What he is saying here is undoubtedly factual, however like many of his opponents on the Right, he is presenting a fairly superficial examination of the issues without acknowledging the compromises inherent in political office.
It is not odd, in these days it's so rare to find an honest journalist like John Pilger. Check out his reports and you will wonder if cnn and fox live in the same world.
@3101010 "over 8,153 views yet only 31 comments.... And all the comments are in favor of this wonderfull man and his speach.... I find it Odd."
Very often you'll find that when strong logical argument is unequivocally presented, the usual shill types or the brainwashed gang are rather stumped for how to discredit it.

@3101010 I know what you're alluding to - I don't think it's the case here. It's a fact alas, that wherever "that" happens on YouTube, it tends to be in the opposite direction.
@3101010 No you don't have to at all, make your own mind up. That is the fact of how I've seen it on here - tampering happens in the negative direction, not the positive. You may think differently.
Good comments on Obama, however "socialist worker" must understand that radical atheistic socialists such as Lenin, Stalin, Pol Pot, Mao Tze Tung and many others killed over 100 million people in the last century.
Nazism and Fascism were also "socialist" systems.
Obama and Bush both use socialism in their governments by socializing and funding corporate privileges and corporate/government health care.
Wanting to replace socialism with socialism is absurd. Government control = evil
You are ridiculous. Pol Pot and Mao had completely different aims and processes of revolution. Mao successfully launched and won a revolution which empowered millions of oppressed massess. Learn the history. Pol Pot was a dogmatic dictator. Big difference.
@ecrisisx177 - UMMM WHY ARE PEOPLE SO IGNORANT ABOUT MAO. MAO MURDERED OVER 40 Million people, some put the estimate at closer to 76Million. do some research. i've been to china, and there is still the most distinct classism ever, it just shifted to the supporters of MAO, and the peasants are still starving and getting killed.
People's Republic of China, Mao Zedong's regime (1949-1975): 40 000 000
* Agence France Press (25 Sept. 1999) citing at length from Courtois, Stephane, Le Livre Noir du Communism: o Rural purges, 1946-49: 2-5M deaths
o Urban purges, 1950-57: 1M o Great Leap Forward: 20-43M o Cultural Revolution: 2-7M o Labor Camps: 20M o Tibet: 0.6-1.2M o TOTAL DEATHS: 44.5 to 72M
@josearmiami Unbelievable, you think I came to those conclusions like you did, by reading some French rag. Negative you unbearable idiot, I have read plenty about the cultural revolution, the Maoists, and The Great Leap forward. Here are some more facts for you.....idiot. The Deaths cited by most anti communists and attributed to Mao are for ANYONE WHO DIED WHILE THE MAOISTS WERE IN POWER!! get it dummy. Even capitalists scholars who are aggressive to Mao admit that during the great leap
@josearmiami Forward, Millions more peasants would have starved to death if it had not been for the communalization of agriculture. China suffered the worst drought it had had seen in nearly 30 years. But I suppose you knew that already. So.... these same capitalist scholars admit that even during the worst famines anywhere in the world, miions of people dying is absurd, i.e. it just doesn't happen. The deaths are attributed to old age, sickness, infant death, and what have you.
@josearmiami Anyways, I can destroy and dismantle your feeble arguments if given more than 500 characters to do so. However I have a feeling you will probably do one or two different things.
1.Resort to yelling in all caps and cursing me out.
2.Citing some more "figures" and then putting the sources, but having no flipping clue about the history of China (good job for effort).

iInteresting ideas, the Government takes over all the big corporations, then there is just one corporation running everingthing including the Government. Just a thought
we used to see some of his documentaries on the BBC n sometimes if i remember right on channel 4 now he is blacked out wonder why? see WHO OWNS THE US MEDIA THEY are slowely
brainwashing the rest of us they they have to most americans PLANET OF THE SLAVES will u ever wake up Join Ron Paul RESTORE THE REPUBLIC N THE SECOND AMERICAN REVOLUTION THE FIRST EVER DOCUMNTARY I SAW N TOOK NOTICE WAS HIS ABOUT CHILIE
excellent words from Pilger. Obama's background is mysterious to say the least. His mother worked for USAID & is a distant cousin of Dick Cheney. When I was living in east Africa, if you had any dealings with USAID, the expat community would assume you were 'working with the spooks'. It was common knowledge. And BO himself has worked with BCI & is a Brezinski disciple.
Even in Australia, Pilgers views are rarely broadcast. The corporate media are very powerful & very much pro-imperialist/US.
Busting Unions is their goal, the Teamsters Union almost has been alienated, Police the World, steal all the oil and put everyone on foodstamps, welcome to the New World Order of Hell, Strike the Root, 16 amendment was never ratify, corporations are suppose to pay taxes on their surplus & profits, not individuals from labor & wages, Health care run by the gov. is against the Constitution, article 1, section 8 doesn't give the gov. control of our Health Care, we are in serious trouble. Revol!
face TRUTH FACT actually read & know Obama is a CORPORATE BOUGHT puppet which is what we have had in the White House FOR DECADES
Our Country the World for that matter IS IN GRAVE DANGER some doubted fought against Jefferson Adams Franklin LOGIC & TRUTH saved Our GREAT NATION then WERE JUST FIGHTING this EVIL 2 KEEP ~YOU~ OUTTA THE FEMA CONCENTRATION CAMPS! or maybe u would like to DIE in a CONTROLLED DEMOLITION? POISON VAC'S ANYONE?
We should start making our lists of who we are voting out of Congress in 2010. Anyone voting for banker bailouts, anyone who don't support the "audit the fed bill", should be fired. That also includes anyone who votes for bills that are unconstitutional. Time to clean the house.
How is Pilger 'racist'? WHAT in Pilger's talk even referred to the issue of race? AFAIS, Pilger examined Obama's actions in relation to his pre-election promises. It seems pretty clear Obama has been bought and pwned by the corporate technocracy of wealth and power that now rule behind the scenes of American politics. It has NOTHING, Nada, Zero, naught, Zip, to do with 'race'. Get over your own Bullshit, mate. Open your eyes to realisimo. Then stop electing frauds, phonies and stooges.
@starmanskye He isn't, but people are so void of the ability of critical thinking that they just parrot what they are told to, even if makes no sense.....America 2011 is like Orwell's lala land.
@Flashbak910: Fascism is mostly associated with capitalism my friend lmfao!! It cant do anything for the socialist agenda...Know what you're talking about FIRST....
The socialists were the first to be attacked by Mussolini's blackshirts. And "National Socialism" really just meant if you were a pure bred citizen of the fatherland, you could own property and businesses. Next time some right wing clown tries to say otherwise, let em know that.

MAO MURDERED OVER 40 Million people, some put the estimate at closer to 76Million. do some research. i've been to china, and there is still the most distinct classism ever, it just shifted to the supporters of MAO, and the peasants are still starving and getting killed.

People's Republic of China, Mao Zedong's regime (1949-1975): 40 000 000
* Agence France Press (25 Sept. 1999) citing at length from Courtois, Stephane, Le Livre Noir du Communism: o Rural purges, 1946-49: 2-5M deaths
o Urban purges, 1950-57: 1M o Great Leap Forward: 20-43M o Cultural Revolution: 2-7M o Labor Camps: 20M o Tibet: 0.6-1.2M o TOTAL DEATHS: 44.5 to 72M

@josearmiami Unbelievable, you think I came to those conclusions like you did, by reading some French rag. Negative you unbearable idiot, I have read plenty about the cultural revolution, the Maoists, and The Great Leap forward. Here are some more facts for you.....idiot. The Deaths cited by most anti communists and attributed to Mao are for ANYONE WHO DIED WHILE THE MAOISTS WERE IN POWER!! get it dummy. Even capitalists scholars who are aggressive to Mao admit that during the great leap
ecrisisx177 1 year ago
@josearmiami Forward, Millions more peasants would have starved to death if it had not been for the communalization of agriculture. China suffered the worst drought it had had seen in nearly 30 years. But I suppose you knew that already. So.... these same capitalist scholars admit that even during the worst famines anywhere in the world, miions of people dying is absurd, i.e. it just doesn't happen. The deaths are attributed to old age, sickness, infant death, and what have you.

@josearmiami Anyways, I can destroy and dismantle your feeble arguments if given more than 500 characters to do so. However I have a feeling you will probably do one or two different things.
1.Resort to yelling in all caps and cursing me out.
2.Citing some more "figures" and then putting the sources, but having no flipping clue about the history of China (good job for effort).
3.or telling us about your wonderful journey there and how that proves all of this. crawl back in your hole

excellent words from Pilger. Obama's background is mysterious to say the least. His mother worked for USAID & is a distant cousin of Dick Cheney. When I was living in east Africa, if you had any dealings with USAID, the expat community would assume you were 'working with the spooks'. It was common knowledge. And BO himself has worked with BCI & is a Brezinski disciple.
Even in Australia, Pilgers views are rarely broadcast. The corporate media are very powerful & very much pro-imperialist/US.

Busting Unions is their goal, the Teamsters Union almost has been alienated, Police the World, steal all the oil and put everyone on foodstamps, welcome to the New World Order of Hell, Strike the Root, 16 amendment was never ratify, corporations are suppose to pay taxes on their surplus & profits, not individuals from labor & wages, Health care run by the gov. is against the Constitution, article 1, section 8 doesn't give the gov. control of our Health Care, we are in serious trouble. Revol!

We should start making our lists of who we are voting out of Congress in 2010. Anyone voting for banker bailouts, anyone who don't support the "audit the fed bill", should be fired. That also includes anyone who votes for bills that are unconstitutional. Time to clean the house.

How is Pilger 'racist'? WHAT in Pilger's talk even referred to the issue of race? AFAIS, Pilger examined Obama's actions in relation to his pre-election promises. It seems pretty clear Obama has been bought and pwned by the corporate technocracy of wealth and power that now rule behind the scenes of American politics. It has NOTHING, Nada, Zero, naught, Zip, to do with 'race'. Get over your own Bullshit, mate. Open your eyes to realisimo. Then stop electing frauds, phonies and stooges.

The socialists were the first to be attacked by Mussolini's blackshirts. And "National Socialism" really just meant if you were a pure bred citizen of the fatherland, you could own property and businesses. Next time some right wing clown tries to say otherwise, let em know that.
