Inner Gaze (Assange’s Two Years)
Inward Gaze (Assange 2 years) (Europa): photo of oil painting of European nude sitting on an African stool with eyes hidden and downcast. Reflection from the glass gives the impression that the naked body is behind glass under observation, maybe shamed. This is a photographic reworking of my painting, which was a comment on the…
The vaccination debate: Robert Kennedy and Alan Dershowitz on the COVID19 vaccine, July 2020
Before you decide whether to take the vaccine or not: listen to Robert F Kennedy Jnr debate the pros, cons and legality with Alan Dershowitz – a long listen at over one hour. But Robert Kennedy is probably the world expert in the holistic approach to vaccination – and it will definitely challenge some of…
England’s Stalinist show trial of Julian Assange witnessed by John Pilger
Even though it’s not talked about in the English Mainstream Media, people all around the world are noticing the repression of journalists in the UK, and the Stalinist torture by process of Julian Assange. Assange is facing extradition to the USA where he is likely to face solitary confinement for the rest of his life,…
“Punishment by process” is this the purpose of the Julian Assange court hearings
15/08/2020 Can this be a English justice? The defendant is not legally under arrest, had not seen “new” charges (which were the same as the old ones), nor met with his defense team for 5 months, the prosecution did not turn up, journalists couldn’t [get access to the court], and proceedings were interrupted by screaming…
Robert Stuart’s video shows the BBC’s Panorama Syria chemical attack was faked
I recently saw Robert Stuart’s video, about the faking of video evidence of war crimes in a BBC Panorama documentary of chemical attacks in Syria in 2014. It seems a long time back, but we need to take note, because the UK is pursuing new wars (Iran, Yemen, Venezuela) in the name of humanitarian intervention.…
Colonial Empires fight back – Britain, France and Turkey revive old imperial ambitions with a new face
20 years ago, anybody who said the British Empire was a good thing, would have been ignored as a relic of the Imperial past. Of course, such rose-tinted romanticising ignores the genocide and repression needed to maintain the colonial system. Now, neo-conservative politicians openly call for revival of colonial empires. Gavin Williamson’s 2018 newspaper interview…
Churchill, changing monuments, and the evolution of social identity
Boris Johnson says we shouldn’t “edit and censor” our past by changing our monuments. He is wrong – monuments are not, like statues in a museum, mementos of the past. They are a dynamic part of a living, evolving social culture. They need to be renewed. This story discusses what monuments mean in our society…
The Real News
Ever wondered what’s going on in the world, behind the smokescreen of endless COVID19 scare stories? Yes, COVID is a nasty disease, but the mainstream press is covering it to the exclusion of all other news. As context: COVID19 has claimed 37,000 lives in the UK. The 2017/18 winter claimed 49,000 ‘excess deaths’ (additional to…
If we tolerate this? Craig Murray journalist contempt prosecution commences in UK law courts
It’s a bit unreal writing this. I was raised in Rhodesia, a colonial country, during the liberation war. I grew up in Zimbabwe, a liberated country falling into despotism. I have seen a lot of persecution of journalists. But I never believed such persecution could exist (at least not for long) in the UK –…
