From RUSSIA- On his program called Going Underground Afshin Rattansi spoke with journalist and film maker John Pilger.

Is it sane for Australia to threaten China, and mainstream journalism versus real journalism.

The US has also imposed new sanctions on Nicaraguan officials for their support of President Daniel Ortega.

A Chinese aircraft carrier group passed the Taiwan strait one day after a US warship passed through the waterway.

âThe state can't give you freedom, and the state can't take it away. You're born with it, like your eyes, like your ears. Freedom is something you assume, then you wait for someone to try to take it away. The degree to which you resist is the degree to which you are free.â -- Utah Phillips
