More From John Pilger

There's not a human being alive i won't talk to. there's a quite simple rule. if you like somebody more than you dislike them you can have a relationship. once you accept you like 75 per cent but 25 per cent you find irritating for this or that reason, you just have to ignore that 25 per cent.
Simple Alive Reason
If europe today accounts for just over 7 per cent of the world's population, produces around 25 per cent of global gdp and has to finance 50 per cent of global social spending, then it's obvious that it will have to work very hard to maintain its prosperity and way of life.
Europe Gdp Population
One of the nice things about looking at a bear is that you know it spends 100 per cent of every minute of every day being a bear. it doesn't strive to become a better bear. it doesn't go to sleep thinking, "i wasn't really a very good bear today". they are just 100 per cent bear, whereas human beings feel we're not 100 per cent human, that we're always letting ourselves down. we're constantly striving towards something, to some fulfilment
Nice Sleep Thinking
If one in twenty does not seem high enough odds, we may, if we prefer it, draw the line at one in fifty (the 2 per cent. point), or one in a hundred (the 1 per cent. point). personally, the writer prefers to set a low standard of significance at the 5 per cent. point, and ignore entirely all results which fail to reach this level. a scientific fact should be regarded as experimentally established only if a properly designed experiment rarely fails to give this level of significance.
Science Odds Giving
I never said it. honest. oh, i said there are maybe 100 billion galaxies and 10 billion trillion stars. it's hard to talk about the cosmos without using big numbers. i said "billion" many times on the cosmos television series, which was seen by a great many people. but i never said "billions and billions." for one thing, it's too imprecise. how many billions are "billions and billions"? a few billion? twenty billion? a hundred billion? "billions and billions" is pretty vague. when we reconfigured and updated the series, i checked-and sure enough, i never said it.
Stars Numbers People
The world's richest half billion people - that's about seven per cent of the global population - are responsible for fifty per cent of the world's emissions.

I was just very interested in the american frontier and the growth of capitalism - those enormous fortunes that were being made, more often than not, on the blood of poor people, black people, indian people. they were the ones who paid very dearly for those great fortunes.
