I’ve been re-reading THE AGE OF THE WARRIOR by Robert Fisk, one of two
outstandingly brave and honest journalists who died a couple of years ago and
were given contemptible obituaries in THE TIMES. Robert was English and
John Pilger was Australian. Pilger revealed how Sir Andrew Gilchrist, when
British Ambassador to Indonesia in 1966 orchestrated a lying propaganda
campaign resulting in a coup which murdered nearly a million unarmed civilians
and handed over the archipelago’s almost limitless resources to western corporations.
Some three years later as Ambassador to Ireland, Sir Andrew arranged for the establishment of the secretive, oath-bound IRISH TIMES TRUST to curb the paper’s
excellent Editor, Douglas Gageby, the first in the paper’s long history to give his allegiance to Ireland and serve her people faithfully. Sir Andrew also managed to
pull the wool over Ireland’s then Foreign Minister, the naive Patrick Hillery at the UN
in New York when he raised the matter of the violence inflicted on the Nationalists
in the North and sought their protection.
The British sought to impose their will on the world’s media, including tje Irish media.
I mention Webster’s dictionary. Morocco is inhabited largely by Arab-speaking Moslems.
Considered less than human by the Zionist Regime and its friends.
Webster’s excuse for calling criticism of Zionist crime “Anti-Semitic” has nothing to do
with the validity or otherwise of such a description.
It’s just that the shits who call the shots (and the bombings) in the Middle east use the
description. Robert Fisk’s work bristles with hatred for the dishonesty and cruelty of
Webster’s.
I read Robert Fisk’s book about the Loyalist strike of 1974, The Point Of No Return. A really good read.
