The Embassy of Ecuador, London. Famous for being where Julian Assange made speeches from whilst holed up in there for seven years until they tired of him (especially after Wikileaks published some scandals relating to Ecuador) and allowed the police in to get him.

No, its not WikiLeaks!

It's blue gouache leaking from a tube.

Photo taken for the Flickr Group Macro Mondays - this week's theme: Blue.

 

The recipe:

 

1 - Placed a white cardboard on the table and twisted the rear to a vertical position. This will be the seamless background to "burn" to absolute white as well as the rear of the gouache tube.

2 - I pointed to the vertical zone of the cardboard a wireless controled flash with a snoot made of black cardboard, to avoid spilling light onto the gouache tube.

3 - Put the gouache tube on the flat, front part of the cardboard, but I'll spread the paint only when I'm done, to stay fresh and bright at the time of the photo. In place of the paint put the cap, to help focus.

4 - Put a 5500ºK lamp just over the tube. I'll switch it on later.

5 - I adjusted the camera's aperture to get a clear picture of the cap (remember, it is in the place where it will be the paint leaking...) , but getting the tube blurred. I adjusted the ISO to 100, for maximum quality.

6 - I adjusted manually the flash power to burn away the background and the rear of the gouache tube. I did tests to achieve the desired result.

7 - Switched on the light over the tube and set the shutter speed to have a good exposure of the cap and the front of the tube.

8 - I removed the cap from the table and spread the paint. Carefully focused (manual focus) on the front of the poured paint, and shot!

9 - I kept a lamp lit on the ceiling to give a few more yellow reflections on the paint, which seemed to me to result in a more exciting composition!

maybe the world would become a little bit better, if wikileaks had more acceptance, money, internet servers, buildings - even castles and forts - in every country, clever support from many people - and administrations, who are willing to learn from critics; as a philosopher, adoring Immanuel KANT - I have to say that ...

 

The Black Swan Theory or "Theory of Black Swan Events" was developed by Nassim Nicholas Taleb to explain: 1) the disproportionate role of high-impact, hard to predict, and rare events that are beyond the realm of normal expectations in history, science, finance and technology, 2) the non-computability of the probability of the consequential rare events using scientific methods (owing to their very nature of small probabilities) and 3) the psychological biases that make people individually and collectively blind to uncertainty and unaware of the massive role of the rare event in historical affairs. Unlike the earlier philosophical "black swan problem", the "Black Swan Theory" (capitalized) refers only to unexpected events of large magnitude and consequence and their dominant role in history. Such events, considered extreme outliers, collectively play vastly larger roles than regular occurrences.

 

This creation is a tribute to Julian Assange from Wikileaks. Activist, Fighter for the Truth, warrior against the establishment. He is the Black Swan.

 

Julian Assange has placed a small encrypted file entitled Insurance History on the Swedish Server of Pirate Bay (specialist in the illegal download of music and film music). On Twitter, he recommends that his followers download the file and await his instructions…

Tribute #1 to Julian Assange

Tribute #2 to Julian Assange

 

For those who have just arrived on Planet Earth, let me remind you that what we are experiencing since last Sunday evening is the “Pearl Harbor of Global Democracy” according to Hilary Clinton and the “9/11 of American Diplomacy” according to Barak Obama and his advisors. After 400,000 secret documents on the operating methods of the US army in Iraq, Assange has broken the sound barrier since Sunday with 250,000 diplomatic cables that concern 179 countries! Le Monde, Der Spiegel, El País, the Guardian and the New York Times… according to the latter, more than 1,200 journalists are picking their way through roughly half a billion words of extremely contemporary cables, the most recent of which dates from March 2010. For historians who normally have to wait 50 years before getting access to such material, this is a dream come true. In this case the diplomatic cables are not much older than 7 months. Their scope is colossal. Hence the US State Department’s cry of “murder”…

 

My dear little wolves and she-wolves, in truth, I tell you, Sunday night tens of thousands of writers put an end to their lives … Imagine you were a Sci-Fi or Anticipation writer, director of Sci-Fi – Fantasy Collection at Pocket, Denoël or Rivages.

 

According to Laurent COURAU, the mythical founder of the Spirale who is postponing his suicide, “Assange and Wikileaks have definitively relegated fiction to beneath reality and we are seeing a veritable incarnation of the cyber-punk imagination right now in this early 21st century”.

 

As I see it, Julian Assange is the natural son of Lorenz (Edward Norton), he is quite simply the “Black Swan” of the beginning of this century… he is breaking the seals one by one in the agora of the ethers that is Internet.

 

Last precaution: Julian Assange has placed a small encrypted file entitled Insurance History on the Swedish Server of Pirate Bay (specialist in the illegal download of music and film music). On Twitter, he recommends that his followers download the file and await his instructions…

Pour ceux qui arriveraient sur la planère Terre, je leur rappelle que, ce que nous vivons depuis dimanche soir, est le « Pearl Harbor de la Diplomatie mondiale » cqfd Hillary Clinton et selon Obama et ses conseillers le « 11 septembre de la diplomatie américaine ». Après 400 000 documents confidentiels, relatifs au mode opératoire de l’armée américaine en Irak, il passe le mur du son avec depuis dimanche soir, 250 000 dépêches diplomatiques qui frappent plus de 179 pays ! Le Monde, Der Spiegel, El PAis, the Guardian et New York Times. Selon ce dernier, plus de 1 200 journalistes sont jour et nuit sur une base de données de près d’un demi milliard de mots… sur des dépêches diplomatiques ultra-récentes donts les dernières datent de mars 2010. C’est le rêve de l’historien qui doit normalement patienter jusqu’à 50 ans pour pouvoir accéder à de tels trésors. Ici les dépêches diplomatiques ont à peine plus de 7 mois. Tout y passe. D’où le département d’état américain qui hurle à l’assassin…

 

Mes p’tits loups, mes p’tites louves, en vérité, je vous le dis, dimanche soir des dizaines de milliers d’écrivains se sont donnés la mort… Imaginez une seconde que vous soyiez écrivain de SF ou d’Anticipation, directeur de Collection SF – Fantasy chez Pocket, Denoël ou Rivages.

 

Selon Laurent COURAU, fondateur mythique de la Spirale qui repousse son suicide, il déclare : « Assange et Wikileaks relèguent définitivement la fiction loin derrière la réalité et l’on assiste à la véritable incarnation de l’imaginaire cyber-punk dans ce début de XXIème siècle ».

A mes yeux, Julian Assange est le fils naturel de Lorenz (Edward Norton), il est tout simplement le « Cygne Noir » du début de ce siècle, il brise les sceaux un par un dans l’agora des éthers qu’est l’Internet.

 

Avec la globalisation d’Internet, il faut s’attendre, selon mon vieux maître Paul Virillio à un accident général, un accident jamais vu, aussi étonnant que le temps mondial, ce temps jamais vu. Un accident général qui serait un peu ce qu’Epicure appelait « l’accident des accidents ».

 

Ce jour fut le 28 novembre 2010 où Internet est devenu l’incarnation de l’information à l’état brut, c’est aussi le jour où les citoyens du village “Glocal” de Mc Lhuan ont eu à leurs dispositions l’histoire en temps réel, apanage jusqu’à présent des puissants. C’est aussi la révélation de la phrase de Mathieu(x26) qui prends son plein sens “car il n’y a rien de caché qui ne doit être découvert ni de secret qui ne doivent être connu” …(page 183 Opus III Abode of Chaos Spirit)

 

Ultime précaution : Julian Assange a placé sur le serveur suédois de Pirate Bay (spécialisé dans les téléchargements illicites de musique et de films), un petit fichier crypté mystérieux, baptisé »Assurance historique ». Sur Twitter, il recommande à ses partisans de le télécharger et d’attendre les instructions.

A Colombian activist in Trafalgar Square, speaks of her solidarity with Julian Assange, the UK's best known political prisoner imprisoned for revealing the truth about Western war crimes, and also with Palestinians struggling for freedom and greater social justice.

 

For the last nine months Julian Assange, who is being held in the maximum security Belmarsh Prison, has been kept completely isolated and without visitors, except for his lawyers. He been detained in appalling conditions and the former UN Special Rapporteur on torture, Neils Melzer, commented in 2019 that Assange showed 'all the symptoms typical for prolonged exposure to psychological torture,' adding that 'what we have seen from the UK Government is outright contempt for Mr Assange's rights and integrity.'

 

www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2019/11/un-expert-torture...

 

The United States wants to extradite Julian Assange to the United States on a supposed charge of espionage. However, Assange's real crime is that he revealed US and Western war crimes in Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere. As the founder and chief editor of Wikileaks he has provoked Washington's fury by the publication of US Army intelligence files leaked by Chelsea Manning in 2010 as well as subsequent revelations which have embarrassed the American establishment, including Democratic Party emails which showed how senior officials in the party's national committee favoured Hilary Clinton over the more progressive and radical Bernie Sanders.

 

Former Home Secretary Priti Patel signed off on the extradition request earlier in the year, but that order is currently being appealed by Assange's lawyers, who are awaiting a decision by the High Court on whether they will agree to hear it.

 

As far as I understand it, the remit of the appeal has been restricted to examining the United States' claimed legal promises on how Assange will be treated, rather than to the wider issues of freedom of speech, the CIA plot to assassinate him, the extent to which the evidence against him has obviously been fabricated or as to whether his treatment in Belmarsh Prison has amounted to torture.

The Ecuadorian embassy, Hans Crescent, London SW1, the home of Julian Assange, the WikiLeaks founder, for the past four years. And how much longer? www.james-hobbs.co.uk

[I should add that I think Assange should come out and meet justice rather than lock himself away, and any assumption that I drew this scene because I supported him are unfounded.]

This is my five cents to the Wikileaks case. The photo was taken for a local magazine for journalists. The guy in the photo is Heikki Aittokoski, the Finnish journalist who first published Wikileaks information concerning Finland.

PRESS RELEASE

[FOR IMMEDIATE DISTRIBUTION TO ALL MEDIA OUTLETS WITH FRIENDLY DISPOSITION TOWARD US INTELLIGENCE CULTURE AND SURVEILLANCE MANDATES]

APRIL 2013

 

HIGHLIGHTS:

THE NEW WAR ON ANALOGUE PHOTOGRAPHY DETAILED

LOMOGRAPHY INTERNATIONAL IS NOT A CIA FRONT COMPANY

 

The Dept. of Homeland Security -- working in concert with the NSA, the FBI, but *not* the CIA -- is launching an offensive or war on analogue photographic equipment, claiming the "low-fi" and "low-tech" gear is a threat to national security because it's impossible to intercept images, and those using such cameras are at the fringe and off the grid, thus impossible to track as part of ongoing investigations and other as of yet unidentified purposes.

 

"Privacy has no real place in the post-911 world, and we would expect our citizens to pull together on the homefront, falling in line, as the nation once did during WWII, less concerned with self, and more focused on the collective," said Special Agent Red Opaleco.

 

"What do people have to hide?" added Opaleco. "Griddable, and that's a word I came up with, devices, or trackable ones, all digital cameras, especially smart phones, our favorite, are necessary to maintain order and sync the soft, trusting nature of the American people, and people all over the world for that matter, with the iron fist of our national security state at home, and similar regimes abroad."

 

"These analogue folks are anarchists, essentially, and by circumventing the security apparatus we've so carefully created since the rule of George II, aka Dubya, they align themselves with what the great one referred to as 'evil-doers,' and are in the truest sense of the term, enemies of the state. They will be stopped. Crushed. Unevilded... "

 

Deatogue, as the ad hoc organization invested with the power to pursue this new front in the war on 'evil-doers' is temporarily known as, points out that the free market has been doing its job already, with camera shops and film processing services "dropping like flies." "We Ncourag dis & look for maggots," said an organizational Tweet.

 

"I would like to categorically deny, incidentally, that we have bought, co-opted, taken over, whatever, the Lomography International firm," said Opaleco. "There have wildly irresponsible rumors that Lomography is in fact a CIA front, for years. We have no, let me repeat, no relationship with any such CIA fronts. Wait a minute strike that. Seriously. Let's start again. Siri: new graph."

 

"I would like to categorically deny that we, the CIA, or any other US and/or foreign intelligence agency in fact runs Lomography International," said Opaleco. "So people can relax with regard to any sort of 'lojack,' or other tracking hardware or software, including collusion with Flickr and other social media companies. So clearly Lomography isn't our most valuable asset, just in this particular campaign or war, if wou will. Huh? Do you really think people don't know already? How [censored by unknown] can they really be?! Offices all over the world... Right! Fine! Strike, delete, whatever... Siri: new graph!"

 

"The new rules of jingo, in this particular case, dictate that if you must indulge in the dangerously murky world of analogue, we have no problem with you buying Lomography cameras," said Opaleco. "But there's no 'invasion of the body snatchers' scenario with regard to a takeover of Lomography in order to prosecute the new war on analogue photography. It was so much simpler than that, although it certainly would have been feasible. Oh, and uh, Lomography remains an independent entity, not a front at all... cut, cut, cut! Send this over to the PR cogs for cleanup and dissemination. Is our account current at Edelman? Weber? Whatever. Dewey & Phükem will be fine. I think Howe's dead. That wasn't us... was it? [sigh]"

 

For press inquiries, please contact Red Opaleco at R.Opaleco@cia.sshhh.gov or Corrina [last name withheld] at lomography@cia.sshhh.gov.

 

Hello, Red. Shall I file your copy in "cool nefarious schemes," or "cluster [censored by unknown]s?"

 

[censored by unknown] yourself, Siri.

 

Very well. Red has private time, and now Siri does, too. Wink, wink.

WikiLeaks' Editor-in-chief Kristinn Hrafnsson addresses the press outside the High Court in London on 24 January 2022, shortly after Assange's defence team won the right to take his extradition case to the UK's Supreme Court.

 

Julian Assange's fiancée, Stella Morris (standing to Hrafnsoon's right or as seen by the viewer - left), gave a brief speech a few minutes earlier.

 

'Make no mistake,' she declared, 'We won today in court,' but then added, 'but let's not forget that every time we win, as long as this case is not dropped, as long as Julian is not freed, Julian continues to suffer.'

 

While Assange's defence team have been granted the right to apply for a hearing at the Supreme Court, it will be up to Britain's highest court to decide whether to agree to consider his case. That decision on a possible Supreme Court hearing is expected sometime in the next two to three months.

 

Unfortunately, the remit of the appeal has been restricted to examining the United States' claimed legal promises on how Assange will be treated, rather than to the wider issues of freedom of speech, the CIA plot to assassinate him, the extent to which the evidence against him has obviously been fabricated or as to whether his treatment in Belmarsh Prison has amounted to torture.

 

If convicted in the United States on the charges of espionage for exposing US war crimes in Afghanistan and Iraq as well as other wrongdoing by the United States and other governments, he faces up to 175 years in prison.

In religion and theology, revelation is the revealing or disclosing,through active or passive communication with supernatural entities (divine, …). It is believed that revelation can originate directly from a deity, or through an agent, such as an angel. One who has experienced such contact with or communication from the divine is often called a prophet.

On Saturday 5 February 2022, I went to meet and photograph some of the activists staging their weekly protest at Piccadilly Circus against the continued detention and extradition proceedings against whistleblower and dissident journalist Julian Assange.

 

Nearly two weeks earlier on Monday 24 January, the High Court had made its decision regarding whether Julian Assange' could request an appeal hearing on his extradition case at Britain's Supreme Court. As Julian Assange's fiancée, Stella Morris, left the building she smiled briefly, an immediate indication that there was at least some good news. She then gave a brief speech to a crowd of supporters and the press -

 

'Make no mistake,' she declared, 'We won today in court,' but then added, 'but let's not forget that every time we win, as long as this case is not dropped, as long as Julian is not freed, Julian continues to suffer.'

 

While Assange's defence team were granted the right to apply for a hearing at the Supreme Court, it will be up to Britain's highest court to decide whether to agree to consider his case. That decision on a possible Supreme Court hearing is expected sometime in the next two to three months.

 

Unfortunately, the remit of the appeal has been restricted to examining the United States' claimed legal promises on how Assange will be treated, rather than to the wider issues of freedom of speech, the CIA plot to assassinate him, the extent to which the evidence against him has obviously been fabricated or as to whether his treatment in Belmarsh Prison has amounted to torture.

 

On the last point, it is interesting to note that UN special rapporteur for torture, Nils Melzer, has already declared that the conditions Assange has been forced to endure at Belmarsh prison, including prolonged periods of solitary, constitute both arbitrary detention and torture.

If convicted in the United States on the charges of espionage for exposing US war crimes in Afghanistan and Iraq as well as other wrongdoing by the United States and other governments, he faces up to 175 years in prison.

 

A week after Britain's High Court decision Assange was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for his fight for democracy by Martin Sonnenborn, a German MEP.

Julian Assange by Seamus Murphy - World Press Photo 2011, Amsterdam

This network, of pedophiles, is of a highly dangerous nature. At the risk of sounding like conspiracy theorists, it is also likely, that this group has direct connections, to Bohemian Grove, due to their geographic location, and highly placed, Satanic priests, within the intelligence community. Our source has come to us, at great risk, with this information, but does not have, the proper computer skills, to gather the information needed, to bring these criminals to justice. Our source requests, that all Anons, as well as police officers and intelligence officers, with the necessary computer skills, investigate this matter, gather the information needed, share it publically, and bring these vile, degenerate criminals to justice.

Expect us.

WikiLeaks is a non-profit media organization dedicated to bringing important news and information to the public. We provide an innovative, secure and anonymous way for independent sources around the world to leak information to our journalists. We publish material of ethical, political and historical significance while keeping the identity of our sources anonymous, thus providing a universal way for the revealing of suppressed and censored injustices.

 

wikileaks.de/

 

re-publica.de/10/event-list/wikileaks-history-is-the-only...

 

Daniel Schmitt: "Through its publications as the world’s only functioning whistleblowing platform, WikiLeaks has exposed corruption, political murder, torture as well as abuse of power on all continents.

 

But not only is WikiLeaks publishing the unpublished. Increasingly WikiLeaks has to preserve investigative stories that classic newsmedia cannot defend against those abusing legal systems in order to stiffle freedom of speech and supress critical voices.

 

According to the press, the platform has in its short existance produced more scoops than the Washington Post in the past 30 years. It has been called the most successful journalist operation in the world, and its internet address been said to be the home of free speech.

 

Besides offering the most sophisticated legal and technical infrastructure for the protection of the press and its sources, the recipe for this success is very simple: WikiLeaks is upholding its principles, no matter what.

 

Join us for a session about the state of the media, possibilities to defend our historic record and requirements for the future to preserve the 4th estate as an independent mechanism to control those in power."

NEW COMMENTARY 09/11/2011

 

******** The above was my original commentary on this image which was my July 4 post last year. Today I am reposting since this was the image on page 11 (as I see them) of my stream with the least comments of the fully public images there. How appropriate that it is now 9/11, ten years after a disaster that led to the stripping away of our rights by our own government and an unnecessary war in Iraq, a country not even responsible for the disaster, to compare what happened in the last 10 years to the necessary war decided in the place of this image, unanimously, by the colonies, and for all the right reasons. How far from the thinking of our founders who were adamant about protecting us from corporations (like the East India Tea Company which the original Tea Party was protesting) to now our Supreme Court treating corporations not just like people but like super-people - I can not even donate $5 to a political party with out making my name public, but they can donate unlimited anonymously now and we don't even know if it is from a foreign country really! Read the dessent on that decision please. I include the closing lines of the dissent here:

 

"At bottom, the Court’s opinion is thus a rejection of the common sense of the American people, who have recognized a need to prevent corporations from undermining self-government since the founding, and who have fought against the distinctive corrupting potential of corporate electioneering since the days of Theodore Roosevelt. It is a strange time to repudiate that common sense. While American democracy is imperfect, few outside the majority of this Court would have thought its flaws included a dearth of corporate money in politics." Justice J. Stevens, US Supreme Court.
