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

    John Pilger on KPFA Flashoints, on Julian Assange, Brexit, Hong Kong and the mounting war on China. There are few radio programmes like Dennis Bernstein's which shame the BBC and the rest. Listen here:

    With Boris Johnson now shamed by the courts, why isn't the opposition forcing an election on an issue that touches all our lives: the destruction of the National Health Service? My film, 'The Dirty War on the NHS', is at a critical stage of production. See below.

    Dartmouth Films, which produces my films, is crowd-funding for urgent backing for my latest documentary, 'The Dirty War on the National Health Service'. I'll be grateful for all your support, which will allow a critical issue into cinemas. Here's the link:

    The internecine warfare among Britain's elite over Brexit - Tory and Labour - was angrily interrupted today by the father of a sick child, who raised the one issue that concerns almost all Britons: the destruction of the NHS. Watch this.

    I spoke to Julian at the weekend. His psychological torture is unabated. He remains isolated in his small cell, mostly 23 hours a day, denied proper exercise. He has lost more weight. Although 'approved', phone calls to his parents are still not possible. Britain 2019.

    The Great Propaganda War on China now turns on the "uprising" in Hong Kong. Forget that China is surrounded by 400 US bases, described in Washington as "the perfect noose". This report from the excellent Grayzone investigates the illusions of Hong Kong.

    Watch, on RT's Going Underground, a discussion on the current imposition of imperial power dressed as democracy, and reports on the latest restrictions on Julian as he endures his fifth month as a political prisoner.

    Visiting Julian in prison I glimpsed his barbaric treatment. Isolated, denied proper exercise, access to the library, a laptop, he cannot prepare his defence. He is even denied calls to his US lawyers. His UK lawyer wrote to the governor on 4 June. Silence. How lawless.

    Watch this revelation by Mark Davis, the award-winning journalist and lawyer, a crucial witness to the Guardian's and NY Times' betrayal of Julian who faces extradition for what they did, too. Note their silence as fights for his life.

    Do not forget Julian . Or you will lose him. I saw him in Belmarsh prison and his health has deteriorated. Treated worse than a murderer, he is isolated, medicated and denied the tools to fight the bogus charges of a US extradition. I now fear for him. Do not forget him.

    A US Federal Court has ruled that WikiLeaks and Julian lawfully published the Hillary Clinton emails and found "no evidence" of collusion with Russia. The fabrications of the "free media" have dissolved into silence.

    The ABC's Sally Neighbour, in charge of investigative reporting at the state broadcaster, has bothered to re-tweet a minor troll's bile about Julian 's "zombie" supporters, which include his parents. The cowardly Neighbour has since deleted it. She should be sacked.

    I have spoken to Julian whose courage is undimmed. By contrast, the ABC has broadcast the second part of a smear posing as journalism by Michael Brissenden. The gratuitous abuse, omissions and servitude to the lies of power make a textbook model of modern propaganda.

    Sally Neighbour of ABC Australia wonders if anyone "cares" about her craven abuse of Julian . In fact, many care about the collusion of those claiming to be journalists with sinister power in its pursuit of . Her phoney 4Corners "investigation" is a model.

    ABC Australia has broadcast a Trump regime-grovelling, dishonest "investigation" into Julian . The exec producer is Sally Neighbour who last year re-tweeted, "Assange is Putins bitch." Students note the depth to which Vichy journalism has descended.
