we will certainly miss Mr. Pilger, especially in this increasingly violent world

Australia won't even protect its own citizen, Assange. He's held in the highest regard by journalists all over the world, except those supported by the greatest military industrial media complex in history. If sent to the US, he will not have the legal right given to Americans. Nor Australians.

I watched Pilger's 'War on Democracy'. I hope Chavez paid him for that propaganda piece.

Julian Assange is a criminal :)

"....would have" not "...would of".

We all have to learn and follow his recommendations

lol! what courage? yanis is a failed economist who is through and through leftist. while he make some good points, none of them are profound, they are clear and have been for a long time. His solution for australia is stupid, i would like to see the math behind it. he talks about children in gaza, as fake compassion and only out of his political ideology. i have never heard him talk about other war ravaged places where child victims are 10x worst ion condition and numbers.

Journalists working in the mainstream have a low bar to work from...independant journalists have exposed them for the frauds they are.

@@NathanCroucher lol

That’s the whole point of mainstream journalism

Paul Keating demonstrated how Australian journalists are bereft of any intellectual qualities when he told them that he "reads" implying that they don't and seeing how many mainstream journalists and reporters ask questions that appear to be formulated by 5-year olds, I cringe every time they interview people of substance.

I red his book, no doubt he is well educated, well red, multi lingual, didn't shut up and take the money as instructed by Larry Summers, all of it. So why is he on the dead fucking wrong side of climate, riddle me that???

That he is and much more .

@@tomkarnes69 Why is Yanis on the wrong side of climate? He's pro-environmental.

First he said surplus and then deficit and both works in Americas favor. I think the guy is trying to get it both ways and lost. Currently among all industrial nations only USA is growing. I think the reason America is doing good is the dynamics of free capital in response to emerging technology. He was right all that capital is moving to USA is not because it is coerce but due to the fact that capital turnover makes profit

Again I red his book(s), 1945 - 1971 America had a surplus, check. 1971 -present we are in deficit, check. We spent the surplus rebuilding Europe and Japan, once spent, we spent everyone else's surpluses. 100% correct.

I probably can. I’m surprised that Westpac actually sponsored this event and the Rupert Murdoch media showed up, though probably for the take-down smear pieces.

Green Deal my ass

Agree! China has every right and need to defend itself from hegemonic bully US!

according to these westerners, no. Even people like Yanis still advocate of "freeing" chinese against their government like as if the Chinese needs their help. The concept of sovereignty in the view of westerners are only applied to western countries or countries that adopt western systems and is closely aligned or the west. They are still lecturing others even when their own country is going bankrupt....e.g. Yanis. They can be clear minded about their own problems, but they are still blind when it comes to other non western countries.

Exactly, small countries close to China aren't all happy with China policy and fishing in their territorial waters by the Chinese, so they prefer allying with the West and want protection

​​​@@RomanGolubev_A the day the "west" and "protection" have the same sense of trustworthiness, would be the day my father, a vietnam vet, turns over in his grave.

Like UK, Australia has to suck up to the big bully and have a stool at the table for the crumbs of relevance. No more than a pug lap dog showing its bum hole and bollocks, i.e. the Yanks see everything that you have to offer and laugh at it, with a pretense that they need you. US in reality needs nobody, only uses UK,Aus etc... as a moral figleaf. 😢

We must, as true Australians, NOT simply accept "Americanisms" into our society and culture. "Americanisms" like - using their mangled spellings of the English language ("aluminum" instead of aluminium, "gas' instead of petrol, "colors" instead of colours, etc, their "Yankee drawl" in pronunciations (which some of our TV talking heads are disgustingly trying to imitate these days) ), Halloween and Thanksgiving celebrations - which has nothing to do with our history and cultural traditions and so on. The virtual worshipping of the U.S. by some of our politicians borders on treachery against this country that they are suppose to serve. Our young should be brought up to be PROUD Australians - not influenced to be starry-eyed over the United States which many of our youths (pre-teens) tend to have when American movie stars appear on our shores. Sure, they can be respected for the work they do but to have our television reporters virtually fall on their knees and prostrate before them is sickening to see. Those Hollywooders are just movie actors, human beings from another country, for goodness's sakes! I'd rather pay more homage to our own stars like Nicole Kidman, Huge Jackman, Margot Robbie, and many other fine Aussie actors here and overseas. Our modern Australian history (since the first landing) is short - less than 300 years - and is not as chaotic and violent as the United States. However, it is still full of events in which stories can be created to make movies out of that are interestingly imaginative - if only we have story writers with the imagination to do so. For instance, why couldn't something more be made of the times around "The Eureka Stockade", of the families living and working in that period? Or of the many attempts in rebellion by the Native Australians? Or the racial riots against the Chinese miners who came in the 1800s (the U.S. made a TV series of a wandering half-Chinese shaolin monk based upon their gold rush period and called it, "Kung Fu" - out of virtually nothing but using the period as a back drop to some imaginative writing). Are our own writers so empty of any imagination of their own? Are we still stuck in our own "cultural cringe", ashamed of being true blue Aussies? Are outback Queensland or the opal mines in West Australia or the wetlands in the north so empty that stories cannot be crafted from them? Unless we swing back into our ourselves, we stand to lose all that we have as Australians and will indeed as some have said, become the 51st state of the U.S. as we lose our own identities and we may as well surrender our much vaunted claims to "sovereignty" that our pollies love to banter about but only when using it against other countries that are NOT the U.S. - which gets a free pass from our sycophantic weak-kneed political leaders from both camps.

Note too, what actually happened to the Whitlam Government that went AGAINST the U.S. and was the first to recognize China and went to meet with Mao and Chou En-lai BEFORE Nixon. The U.S. cannot bear to see it being usurped by a minnow in Oceania and there are lots of proof of the existence of "the Blackhand" of the U.S. CIA that plotted with the Liberals to replace the Whitlam Labor Government. Every time when there is an Australian government that shows any sign of moving away from the hegemonic controls of the U.S., you'll find it being removed pretty quickly and one has to ask the question, was there some conspiracy involving the U.S. in this? It just appears to be too coincidental - and when you have any Australian government - even the Labor Party - that shows obeyance to Uncle Sam, they mysteriously stay in power for extraordinarily long terms. Weird, isn't it?

I beg to differ your part of the commonwealth. And like it or not partially by 23 per cent owned by the UK.

Thank you for speaking out so clearly about our country, my thought was for years….America calls jump and we echo back …how high, what’s wrong with Australiens!

​@@NadiaSawicki-lt1uf Easily changed

America wanted to replace the position of the British Stirling with USD. It was most definitely a power play to undermine the British empire.

It was done by a group of politicians that has experienced the terrifying effects of '28 (direct result of decades of laissez-faire capitalism). Surely they wanted to stabilize the economy. Also in order to implement socialist measures (Welfare State). No wonder that the father of this system proclaimed himself as a socialist (Keynes).

If the price of a currency is based on a piece of gold, how can one manipulate it? One can perhaps fudge the amount of gold produced but I don't think that was the goal of BW

I think it was a legitimate attempt to stabilise a wrecked world economy. US dominance of the system was pretty much inevitable.

Currency not only backed by gold but mainly oil and perhaps more so by big tech. Best grow your own food.

and yet yanis still saying the chinese need the west help to free themselves from the Chinese gov. SO arrogant, so racist, as if the Chinese wants or need their help to live. You cannot take anything seriously when a person thinks 1.4 billion people who are free to leave the country and immigrate anywhere else in the world are oppressed by their gov. If the the definition of oppression is what the chinese gov do to their people then every gov in this world is oppressing their people. Can we live without gov?

Per the records of the US Ambassador to China at the time who was present at the Obama-Xi meeting when Xi made the offer (reciprocal) for both China n US to demilitarise the South China Sea ....it was Obama that did not accept this offer which also necessitated the US to do the same.... Therefore there was no obligation on Xi as it was explicitly not an unilateral , one sided offer. It was subsequently misrepresented as Xi being deceitful when it was the US that took offensive military actions in the South China Sea.
