The truth be known folks, it didn't get any better than Pilger. I followed his work for years and there were only a handful of journalists that came up to even close to his level. A true giant in truth and real news. This guy will never be forgotten by those who value truth and justice.

OP2 years agoI can't believe Daniel Ellsberg's passing was missed by many. This guy was brave. He was a true whistleblower. They don't make them like him anymore.

OP2 years agoAnother brave man who spoke out against a war that should never have been. Funny enough, I was just reading about Joan Baez the other day and if I'm thinking about the same man) I didn't realise that Harris was the man who was locked up when she was performing at Woodstock. She mentioned it on stage.
Respect!

·2 years agoMaybe you should ask a moderator to change the year in the title to "2023-2024", so more deaths can be added when they occur.

OP2 years agoThere's already now a 2024 one. The 2023 is for people who were not mentioned. There are more to come.

OP2 years agoThis is an example of the insanity over there. And people wonder why the public don't trust their law enforcement agencies.
