Julian Assange - OCT8 Antiwar Mass Assembly (2011) Mass Assembly in London 10th anniversary of the Afghan war and the formation of the Stop the War Coalition
Anas Altikriti Assembly chair Brothers & Sisters, Friends, Ladies & Gentlemen: Our next speaker is someone who changed the face of the landscape of news reporting, forever. Our next speaker struggled to get here today, because for 306 days he's been placed under house arrest, with no charge. Someone we all know. Someone we respect. Someone we admire for what he has done for the truth and for news around the world. Please welcome: Julian Assange. [applause] Julian Assange Editor, WikiLeaks Thank you. Thank you. Well, what a wonderful crowd. It's not a crowd that I often get to see. It's very heartening to see that so many people care about the values that I hold dear. And there's something I want to talk about. What can we do with our values? What can we do at all, in relation to this war? Because the reality is Margaret Thatcher had it right: there is no society anymore. What there is, is a transnational security elite that is busy carving up the world, using your tax money. To combat that elite, we must not petition: we must take it over. We must form our own networks of strength and mutual value, which can challenge those strengths and self-interested values of the warmongers in this country, and in others, that have formed, hand in hand, an alliance to take money from the United States -- from every NATO country, from Australia -- and: launder it through Afghanistan; launder it through Iraq; launder it through Somalia; launder it through Yemen; launder it through Pakistan; and wash that money in peoples' blood. I don't need to tell you the depravity of war. You are all too familiar with its images, with the refugees of war, with information that we have revealed showing the everyday squalor and barbarity of war. Information such as the individual deaths of over 130,000 people in Iraq. Individual deaths that were kept secret by the US military who denied that they ever counted the deaths of civilians. Instead, I want to tell you what I think is the way that wars come to be and that wars can be undone. In democracies, or the pseudo democracies that we are evolving into, wars are a result of lies. The Vietnam War and the push for US involvement was the result of the Gulf of Tonkin incident: a lie. The Iraq War, famously, is a result of lies. Wars in Somalia are a result of lies. The Second World War and the German invasion of Poland was the result of carefully constructed lies. That is war by media. Let us ask ourselves of the complicit media -- which is the majority of the mainstream press -- what is the average death count attributed to each journalist? When we understand that wars come about as a result of lies peddled to the British public, and the American public, and the publics all over Europe and other countries, then who are the war criminals? It is not just leaders, it is not just soldiers: it is journalists. Journalists are war criminals. And while one might think that that should lead us to a state of despair, that the reality that is constructed around us is constructed by liars, is constructed by people who are close to those that they are meant to be policing: it should lead us also to an optimistic understanding, because if wars can be started by lies, peace can be started by truth. [applause] So that is our task and it is your task. Go and get the truth. Get into the ballpark and get the ball, and give it to us and we'll spread it all over the world. [applause] Anas Altikriti Assembly chair Julian Assange. [applause] --- end 6:52 ---

The black art of news management
John Pilger, Investigative Journalist 3 June 2010
EXTRACTS ONLY
How do wars begin? With a “master illusion”, according to Ralph McGehee, one of the CIA’s pioneers in “black propaganda”, known today as “news management”. In 1983, he described to me how the CIA had faked an “incident” that became the “conclusive proof of North Vietnam’s aggression”. This followed a claim, also fake, that North Vietnamese torpedo boats had attacked an American warship in the Gulf of Tonkin in August 1964.
“The CIA,” he said, “loaded up a junk, a North Vietnamese junk, with communist weapons - the Agency maintains communist arsenals in the United States and around the world. They floated this junk off the coast of central Vietnam. Then they shot it up and made it look like a fire fight had taken place, and they brought in the American press. Based on this evidence, two Marine landing teams went into Danang and a week after that the American air force began regular bombing of North Vietnam.”An invasion that took three million lives was under way.
Thirty years ago, it all seemed very clear. “American Planes Hit North Vietnam After Second Attack on Our Destroyers; Move Taken to Halt New Aggression”, announced a Washington Post headline on Aug. 5, 1964. That same day, the front page of the New York Times reported: “President Johnson has ordered retaliatory action against gunboats and ‘certain supporting facilities in North Vietnam’ after renewed attacks against American destroyers in the Gulf of Tonkin.” But there was no “second attack” by North Vietnam — no “renewed attacks against American destroyers.” By reporting official claims as absolute truths, American journalism opened the floodgates for the bloody Vietnam War. A pattern took hold: continuous government lies passed on by pliant mass media…leading to over 50,000 American deaths and millions of Vietnamese casualties.
