自广岛以来的75年中，最持久的谎言是投下了原子弹以结束太平洋战争并挽救生命。 75年后，我们再次对自己撒谎。
When I first went to Hiroshima in 1967, the shadow on the steps was still there. It was an almost perfect impression of a human being at ease: legs splayed, back bent, one hand by her side as she sat waiting for a bank to open. At a quarter past eight on the morning of August 6, 1945, she and her silhouette were burned into the granite. I
1975年11月11日，时任澳大利亚总理的高夫·惠特兰（Gough Whitlam）将中央情报局在他的国家的秘密存在告知国会，直到最后，他失业。
The Australian High Court has ruled that correspondence between the Queen and the Governor-General of Australia, her viceroy in the former British colony, is no longer "personal" and the property of Buckingham Palace. Why does this matter? Secret letters written in 1975 by the Queen and her man in Canberra, Sir John Kerr, can now be released by
约翰·皮尔格（John Pilger）论澳大利亚对朱利安·阿桑奇（Julian Assange）的背叛，该国对英国和美国帝国的服务以及新闻自由的命运。
On Saturday, there will be a march from Australia House in London to Parliament Square, the centre of British democracy. People will carry pictures of the Australian publisher and journalist Julian Assange who, on 24 February, faces a court that will decide whether or not he is to be extradited to the United States and a living death. I know
Newspapers and other media in the United States, Britain and Australia have recently declared a passion for freedom of speech, especially their right to publish freely. They are worried by the “Assange effect”. It is as if the struggle of truth-tellers like Julian Assange and Chelsea Manning is now a warning to them: that the thugs who
约翰皮尔格写道，这种愤怒发生在伦敦市中心，在大宪章的土地上，应该为所有害怕“民主”社会的人感到羞耻和愤怒。
The glimpse of Julian Assange being dragged from the Ecuadorean embassy in London is an emblem of the times. Might against right. Muscle against the law. Indecency against courage. Six policemen manhandled a sick journalist, his eyes wincing against his first natural light in almost seven years. That this outrage happened in the heart of London,
朱利安阿桑奇永远不会听从老大哥。尽管他的身体健康状况很难跟上，但他的韧性和勇气令人惊讶。
Whenever I visit Julian Assange, we meet in a room he knows too well. There is a bare table and pictures of Ecuador on the walls. There is a bookcase where the books never change. The curtains are always drawn and there is no natural light. The air is still and fetid. This is Room 101. Before I enter Room 101, I must surrender my passport and
约翰皮尔格认为，如果美国中央情报局掠夺瓜伊多及其白人至上主义者的权力，那将是第68次推翻美国的主权政府，其中大多数是民主国家。
Travelling with Hugo Chavez, I soon understood the threat of Venezuela. At a farming co-operative in Lara state, people waited patiently and with good humour in the heat. Jugs of water and melon juice were passed around. A guitar was played; a woman, Katarina, stood and sang with a husky contralto. "What did her words say?" I asked. "That we
