goingundergroundRT on Aug 21, 2019
On this season finale special episode of Going Underground, we speak to legendary journalist and film-maker John Pilger on a round-up of all the latest issues.
John describes the current state of global affairs as in a state of world war, warning that the ‘coming war on China’ he warned about has now arrived, he also discusses the Hong Kong protests and why they have grown, along with US involvement in the unrest. He discusses the collapse of the global nuclear arms control framework with the end of the INF Treaty and the beginning of a new arms race with Russia, amid a situation where he describes it as Washington’s goal to break up the Russian Federation under Putin. He also warns of the increased risk of nuclear war as nuclear superpowers such as Pakistan and India are also entering major tensions between each other.
John Pilger also discusses his concern with John Bolton being at the ear of Donald Trump, how Brexit has created mass-distraction in the UK from the most pressing of issues at home (such as austerity and the NHS) and abroad. He slams sanctions on Venezuela and Iran and also updates us on the condition of Wikileaks founder and publisher Julian Assange, after he visited him recently in Belmarsh prison.

What excuse did Facebook give you for sending you to Facebook Jail? And is there anything we can do, Lo?
The email said “someone tried to use your account”, or something along those lines. They didn’t mention any posts being marked as spam but I really don’t think the account was hacked.
What to do? I’m not sure. I’m going to attempt to appeal using one of their forms, but not sure if that will help or not. What I need is another way to prove it’s my account without having to provide a photo ID. In the past, I was able to re-login by answering questions and that worked fine.
And thank you, Jenny for sharing so many of the posts!
