By John Pilger
During the 1970s, I filmed secretly in Czechoslovakia,

watch on television, nothing of the official truth.
Unlike you, we have learned to read between the

Diagnosing the U.S. ‘national character’: Narcissistic Personality Disorder:
We are 5 percent of the world’s population and consume
about a quarter of the world’s energy. This state of affairs
is clearly unjust, made possible by coercion and violence,
not some natural superiority of Americans.
