Daniel Ellsberg died in June2023, aged 92 years. Daniel who? Perhaps not many of today’s generation have heard of him. He made the papers in 2019, at age 87, because he won a prestigious international award. Pentagon Papers whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg, a former US military analyst who exposed Washington's secret war plans for Vietnam in 1971, won the 2018 Olof Palme human rights prize on Wednesday.
Robin! You wrote my comment. As an ahem, older Canadian, now in a cohort being gently guided toward the light (MaiD), my fellow conservatives and I knew Pearson (imposing a red and white flag when until that day the borders were blue) and Trudeau’s (multiculturalism- so puzzling then and aghast now) actions were nothing to do with the well-being of our people. Now we have been knocked about and fleeced to our knees by a malign and corrupt regime- receiving their marching orders from WEF. One blow after another- then gaslit as moral cretins and islamophobes. Heaven help us - bought off with our own money- and a unionized public sector attached to the taxpayer “chest”. Some Canada Day tomorrow as Justin has told us we are not a nation but a post-nation. Assange and other voices such as Rufo, Taibbi and Steyn and Murray: there are still those upright. Many thanks Paul: your essays are a joy.
Does this mean it will be another 30 years before J. A. Will be seen as a hero by all?
The compliant press have done their job, regurgitating the official narrative and as a result many Australians still believe that J. A. Committed crimes like stealing military secrets.
This is their first sin: Telling the untruth. It is unlikely that will be corrected and the truth be told. That is their second sin: A son of omission. When are reporters and talking heads going to be held to account for not doing their job: reporting truth to the public. These compliant puppets have much to answer for.
Wonderful Paul. One of your best. So true, so clear and so well argued
Thanks Robin. Of all the madnesses, the expectation that we give a rat's about niceties like the official secrets act has to be up there
