The late, great John Pilger speaking in Sydney for the unveiling of the sculpture, "Anything to Say" 

Thank you Karyn. I am reading on twitter through Consortium News John Pilger's Silencing the Lambs: how propaganda works. I have followed Pilger from the Vietnam War, watched his great documentaries (remember the Killing Fields?) and marched with him against the Iraq (illegal) war. He was one of the greats of journalism and through his writings, interviews and documentaries he is still and will be great!

Lots of respect to John Pilger, a peaceful and honorable man who spoke against injustices with such passion, clarity and conviction, his words resonates around the world to free Julian Assange , we all pray for his immediate release! Thank You Mr. Pilger!! May your soul keep on shining through eternity!!

He was an extaordinary journalist. He always put truth first. Godspeed John. We will never see your like again.

John was a Giant of a man who risked his life countless times to expose the demons who run our society, he will live forever in the hearts of the oppressed, John and Julian, we salute you ❤ ❤.

Another great voice for freedom gone our enemies breath a sigh of relief we shed a tear because your truth and your courage forever they will fear RIP JP ✊🏻🇮🇪🇿🇦🇵🇸✊🏾 TIOCFADHI AR LA

John Pilger, a great loss to humanity. Ar Dheis Dé go Raibh a anam. From Ireland.

Love to John Pilger and Julian Assange. Bravo to them both. Human rights advocates. I think we are a special race not of this weird world x

John's 1999 book Hidden Agendas on how our ruthless media operates is a classic. Which brings me to todays awful Daily Mail. In it a full feature trashing his life and his works. This rag hasn't changed its tune since its support of a certain German chancellor during the 1930's. It is about time it was removed from circulation. John was a great journalist and broadcaster and is admired by many in our society. RIP John.

I've never heard JP say a good word about Australia, ever. From his coverage in Vietnam to his death. Perhaps the USSR, Cuba or China would've suited him better?
