Från Burma, Irak och Vietnam, från Kambodja, Sydafrika och de mörkaste hörnen i Tony Blairs "Nya Storbritannien" rapporterar John Pilger. Han är en av de stora världsreportrarna med 30 års erfarenhet, inte minst frn olika krigsskådeplatser. Men Pilgers sätt att rapportera skiljer sig rån de vanliga mediernas. Han lär oss att genomskåda de "objektiva" nyheter som serveras befolkningen. Hans kritik av hur starka och stolta tidningar bryts ner av mediemoguler som Rupert Murdoch och Robert Maxwell andas sorg och vrede. I dessa reportage finns också en ömsinthet och en beundran när han skildrar människor som kämpar för ett anständigt liv för sina folk, individer som under de vidrigaste förhållanden vägrar att ge upp hoppet.

Hidden Agendas is one of those books you can dip in to any chapter and read and feel aghast at what the hidden agendas of governments and organizations are really about.This is a Black Book of truths that are behind the news that are passed on by the big networks. A story of non-people like the seamers of Haitian workers that make pyjamas for Disney at miserable eight pence an hour.,or the Liverpool dock workers bent by Margaret Thatcher, the Iraqi children who died from the U.N. embargo. This is also a story of non-places like Diego Garcia Island donated by Great Britain to the United States and militarized to keep the Middle East under control as if it were not inhabited by the people of the Ilois, the indigenous race of the island. Behind every story, any news said or spoken or acted upon is a whitewash against the people who would believe this shit - this external facade of the military command, politically corrupt, and the powerful elite. There is a hidden agenda - and once you are able to read between the lines, all of these are exposed in 600 plus pages of such agenda.
Everyone should take time out to read this book by John Pilger, one of the best investigative journalists ever. This will open your eyes to the tragedies and genocides being committed around the world by so-called "Western" civilisations and "Democracy" advocates such as USA, UK, France, Australia and many more. Stop taking your news from the mainstream media and learn what is really going on in the world. ( )

Agende nascoste, un libro nero delle verità che stanno dietro alle notizie che passano sui grandi network. Una storia di non persone come i cucitori di palle da golf di Haiti, i portuali di Liverpool piegati da Margaret Thathcher, i bambini iracheni morti per l'embargo. Una storia di non luoghi come l'isola Diego Garcia donata dalla Gran Bretagna agli Stati Uniti e militarizzata per tenere sotto controllo il Medio Oriente come se non fosse abitata dal popolo degli Ilois. Dietro ogni storia, ogni notizia detta o taciuta o recitata come vorrebbero gli addetti alle relazioni esterne del comando militare c'è un'agenda nascosta. Sono 600 pagine. In ognuna un'agenda nascosta.
