Banksy is a pseudonymous England-based street artist, political activist, and film director whose real name and identity remain unconfirmed and the subject of speculation. Active since the 1990s, his satirical street art and subversive epigrams combine dark humour with graffiti executed in a distinctive stenciling technique. His works of political and social commentary have appeared on streets, walls, and bridges throughout the world. His work grew out of the Bristol underground scene, which involved collaborations between artists and musicians. Banksy says that he was inspired by 3D, a graffiti artist and founding member of the musical group Massive Attack.
Banksy displays his art on publicly visible surfaces such as walls and self-built physical prop pieces. He no longer sells photographs or reproductions of his street graffiti, but his public "installations" are regularly resold, often even by removing the wall on which they were painted. Much of his work can be classified as temporary art. A small number of his works are officially, non-publicly, sold through an agency he created called Pest Control. Banksy's documentary film Exit Through the Gift Shop (2010) made its debut at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival. In January 2011, he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature for the film. In 2014, he was awarded Person of the Year at the 2014 Webby Awards.
Banksy's name and identity remain unconfirmed and the subject of speculation. In a 2003 interview with Simon Hattenstone of The Guardian, Banksy is described as "white, 28, scruffy casual—jeans, T-shirt, a silver tooth, silver chain and silver earring. He looks like a cross between Jimmy Nail and Mike Skinner of The Streets." An ITV News segment of 2003 featured a short interview with someone identified in the reporting as Banksy. Banksy began as an artist at the age of 14, was expelled from school, and served time in prison for petty crime. According to Hattenstone, "anonymity is vital to him because graffiti is illegal". Banksy reportedly lived in Easton, Bristol, during the late 1990s, before moving to London around 2000.
In an interview with the BBC in 2003, which was rediscovered in November 2023, reporter Nigel Wrench asked if Banksy is called Robert Banks; Banksy responded that his forename is Robbie. The Mail on Sunday claimed in 2008 that Banksy is Robin Gunningham, born on 28 July 1974 in Yate, 12 miles (19 km) from Bristol. Several of Gunningham's associates and former schoolmates at Bristol Cathedral School have corroborated this, and, in 2016, a study by researchers at the Queen Mary University of London using geographic profiling found that the incidence of Banksy's works correlated with the known movements of Gunningham. According to The Sunday Times, Gunningham began employing the name Robin Banks, which eventually became Banksy. Two cassette sleeves featuring his art work from 1993, for the Bristol band Mother Samosa, exist with his signature. In June 2017, DJ Goldie referred to Banksy as "Rob" in an interview for a podcast.
Other speculations on Banksy's identity include the following:
Robert Del Naja (also known as 3D), a member of the trip hop band Massive Attack, had been a graffiti artist during the 1980s prior to forming the band, and was previously identified as a personal friend of Banksy.
In 2020, users on Twitter began to speculate that former Art Attack presenter Neil Buchanan was Banksy. This was denied by Buchanan's publicist.
In 2022, Billy Gannon, a local councillor in Pembroke Dock was rumoured to be Banksy. He subsequently resigned because the speculation was affecting his ability to carry out the duties of a councillor. "I'm being asked to prove who I am not, and the person that I am not may not exist," he said. "I mean, how am I supposed to prove that I'm not somebody who doesn't exist? Just how do you do that?"
In October 2014, an internet hoax circulated that Banksy had been arrested and his identity revealed.

UPDATED: my hearing is obviously bad... correction on the intended subject :)
This is one of many houses in this block which has passed from hand to hand as speculation continues about how this block will be used in the future. The block next to it (between Idylwyld and Avenue B) was suddenly razed a couple years ago and a Holiday House was put on the property.
There was resistance from community organizations who wanted the block put to uses which would serve the community. As with many controversial decisions, the block was levelled overnight, the hoardings went up and the hotel was built.
Unsuspecting passers-through had no idea they were staying in a hotel on the edge of one of the most violent neighbourhoods in Canada. It took a while for the hotel people to get their security in order.
This shot of a house that will likely soon be demolished is a more accurate expression of how I see this block than my b/w treatment of the same house.

The weather outside was frightful, windy and snowy. I stood at the checkout at the Minnetonka Target with my cart brimming with bulk toilet paper, bags of purina one dog food and 2 furnace filters. In the lane next to me stood a tall man in a wide brimmed panama hat pulled down over his forehead, wearing sunglasses. He smiled at me as if to acknowlege that he was incognito.
As he checked out with the grey haired cashier, she lookd at him and asked him “paper or plastic?” He replied; “sail on silver girl... sail on by....” - then he came to and said; “Er... plastic’. He paid with his Target Credit card.
The U.S. National Archives has recently posted online a redacted Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) file dated 1973-74 related to an investigation of the original Washington Area Spark newspaper.
The timing of its publication is curious given the Trump administration’s abandonment of investigations into right wing groups and its focus on surveying left wing groups.
The file contains a mixture of facts, incorrect information, speculation and an astounding lapse in collecting publicly available information. It also spends considerable time trying to understand the political viewpoints of the individuals they are investigating, but without success.
Among the individuals named are Robert “Bob” Simpson (RIP), Craig Simpson, Sue Reading and Barbara Myers.
One of the things the FBI failed to understand was that the inhabitants of a group house in Takoma Park were not synonymous with the Washington Area Spark collective. The house at 201 Lincoln Avenue was a collection of people associated with the University of Maryland who shared a house to cut expenses. The Simpson brothers and Reading were all regular contributors to Spark whereas Myers was not.
The FBI also struggles to understand the politics of the group and mixes up the political leanings and orientations of different individuals. For example, attending a demonstration sponsored by the group Youth Against War and Fascism is not the same as being close to or joining that organization.
Another example is alleging that Craig Simpson published an underground newspaper at the University of Maryland College Park. Simpson said recently, “I’d very much like to take credit for it, but it’s something I never did.”
The FBI was interested in learning if Spark contributors had a “propensity for violence,” but found little evidence. However, it is astounding that they failed to note Bob Simpson’s 1972 arrest at a George Wallace rally at Capital Plaza for inciting to riot. They also failed to note that Craig Simpson had been arrested in 1970 for assault on a police officer in one incident and carrying a deadly weapon and destruction of government property in another 1970 incident. Nor did they note Meyer’s 1970 arrests at the University of Maryland for occupying Skinner Hall or her arrest as one of the Donut Shop 10. All that was public information that they failed to uncover.
Likewise, they had had an interest in foreign contacts. They noted Meyers’ trip with the Venceremos Brigade to Cuba, but failed to note Bob Simpson’s membership in the Irish Republican Clubs or his application to join a Venceremos Brigade trip to Cuba.
The agents were unable to determine where the newspaper was published. The mystery could have been solved by contacting the Carroll County Times
Two of the redacted informants’ names mentioned in the FBI files are believed to be “Ted Falk,” a member of Vietnam Veterans Against the War who was believed to be an undercover Maryland State Police officer and Sheila O’Connor, a National Lawyers Guild activist believed to be an FBI informant.
Other information was obtained by the FBI calling or visiting people like the landlord at 201 Lincoln Avenue, postal officials and others that could verify details on the investigation.
Falk was denounced by two separate campus activists who swore they saw Falk enter the campus police station on separate occasions. They alleged that Falk had no explanation for his visit to the police there.
With suspicions aroused, activists called a meeting and asked Falk if they could use his apartment for the meeting. Falk agreed and the meeting was held at an apartment off of Knox Road in College Park, MD.
The apartment was sterile—no personal items or clutter—only dated furniture and wall hangings--apparently a furnished apartment. Under the pretext of using the restroom, one meeting attendant checked Falk’s closet and found there were no clothes in it.
When the meeting convened, the agenda unknown to Falk was to denounce violence in no uncertain terms so that Falk would simply lose interest and leave the group. The ruse worked as Falk never came to another meeting.
O’Connor’s career was much longer. She began cozying up to left wing political activists around the time of the 1971 Mayday demonstrations. Her sordid activities are covered in a Counterspy article on her dated Spring 1976 entitled, “Congressional Aide Spies on Left.”
For at least seven years she and her husband published a newsletter that was mailed to law enforcement and intelligence agencies entitled, “Information Digest.” The two were S. Louise Rees and John Rees, better known to the Washington, D.C, left-wing community as Sheila O'Conner [sometimes O’Donnell] and John Seeley. They had a number of informant sources that provided unsubstantiated information for their newsletter.
She later ingratiated herself to the National Lawyers Guild where she rose to a leadership position.
It was during her time at the National Lawyers Guild that she reported on the Washington Area Spark and On The Move newspapers.
O’Connor worked for a time for U.S. Rep. Larry McDonald (D-GA) during the mid-1970s, one of the most right-wing members of the House of Representatives at the time.
O’Connor would later move to the West Coast and acted as a private investigator under the name O’Donnell for many left-wing organizations, including former University of Maryland activist Judy Bari. Bari was then a prominent environmental activist on the West Coast and was the victim of an attempted assassination by car bomb.
It is not known whether O’Connor/O’Donnell continued to be a double agent, but it seems likely.
However, the left-wing on the West Coast was apparently unaware of her past duplicitous activity and an obituary written by David Helvarg and published January 5, 2023 on the LAProgressive site is effusive in its praise.
O’Connor/O’Donnell ingratiated herself to those on the left by providing factual details using her investigative skills that they were unaware of. This was the method O’Connor/O’Donnell used to gain the trust of activists while she acted as a double-agent.
The publication of Information Digest was a predecessor of the right-wing sleuths who attempt to infiltrate left-wing circles in contemporary times.
CounterSpy wrote in 1976, “Experts consulted by CounterSpy including Frank Donner, of the ACLU Political Surveillance Project and Wes McCune, veteran analyst of America’s right wing, were astounded by the sophistication and depth of Information Digest. Donner believes Information Digest demonstrates that the private, abundantly financed right-wing elements have better information on liberals and radicals than that normally processed by the government.”
The current version of Washington Area Spark is reposting these FBI notes as a matter of historical interest.

U.S. Ambassador Dan Shapiro told reporters today that President Obama’s upcoming visit to Israel has “a very urgent agenda.”
Although the White House has not officially released the date of the president’s visit, speculation is that it will begin on March 20th. March 20th is six weeks away.
Shapiro also said, “We have a very complex agenda about Iran, Syria, and the need to get Israel and the Palestinians back to the negotiating table.” That would seem to suggest that Mr. Obama may have an agenda in which everything is tied directly or indirectly to promoting negotiations with the Palestinians, especially since he also intends to visit with Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas and Jordan’s King Abdullah II.
The Palestinian Authority seems to be reading the purpose of the trip entirely differently than how Ambassador Shapiro framed it. A spokesman for Abbas said that “He welcomes the visit, which he hopes will result in the establishment of a Palestinian state alongside Israel.”
The Palestinian agenda is to circumvent Israel through the United Nations, to train its children to hate Israel and prepare for war, and to stop Israel from executing its program of expansion of its rightful and legal territory in the West Bank. You can be sure that President Obama’s “urgent agenda” is primarily focused on getting Israel to yield to its enemies to solve “The Palestinian Problem.”
Israel cannot afford to negotiate. Doing so can only lead to the destruction that the Palestinians seek. Israel needs leaders like Benjamin Netanyahu who are not afraid. She needs leaders who understand that the Lord is unfolding His promise that “With deep compassion I will bring you back . . . with everlasting kindness I will have compassion on you.” (Isaiah 35:7-8) To which He added, “Tyranny will be far from you; you will have nothing to fear. Terror will be far removed; it will not come near you. If anyone does attack you, it will not be my doing; whoever attacks you will surrender to you.” (35:14-15)
If anything is urgent, it is that we cover Israel and Jerusalem with our prayers for God’s peace and protection as we are enjoined to do in Psalm 122:6. Please join with us, and pray those verses from Isaiah. When we pray God’s Word, it never returns void.

REVEALED: Kapil Sharma asserts that his health is the only reason behind his break
With a fresh controversy being brewed related to Kapil Sharma, there have been several speculations regarding the break that the actor-comedian has taken from his ongoing comedy show The Kapil Sharma Show. From rumours of him being thrown out of the channel owing to low TRPs to him joining a rehab to deal with alcoholism, several such reports have been doing the rounds and now, Kapil Sharma has decided to put an end to all.
Kapil Sharma is currently in Bengaluru undergoing a treatment for anxiety, blood pressure and sugar problems. The popular stand-up comedian asserted that he is indeed extremely unwell which is a result of his unbalanced diet and hence is taking up Ayurvedic treatment to deal with the issues. He explained that since he has been working for the past 10 years without a break and ignoring his health in the process, he now wants to focus on the same before his health condition worsens.
Denying that the break from the show is a consequence of low TRPs, Kapil Sharma asserted that he continues to share a great camaraderie with the Sony officials and that the channel has been supportive even when he asked for a break. Furthermore, he also quashed the ongoing reports about his arrogant behaviour towards Shah Rukh Khan stating that he wouldn’t jeopardize his biggest source of income by disrespecting a superstar like Shah Rukh Khan. He also appreciated the niceness and kindness with which the superstar has always behaved towards him and also about how much he respects Mr. Khan. He also clarified that he wouldn’t make any superstar or any other person wait for his show.
If that wasn’t enough, the comedian turned actor also spoke about his ‘big fight’ with Sunil Grover wherein the reports claimed that he had allegedly hurled a shoe at Grover in a drunken state. Terming it to be an accident, Kapil admitted that the incident, which happened when he was shooting with Sunil for seven days a week, was wrong on his part. He maintained that it was the result of him grappling about 50 things and hence wasn’t able to handle the situation tactfully. He however extended his best wishes to co-star Sunil Grover for his future endeavours.
Talking about his alleged romance Preeti Simoes walking out of his life as well as their fallout professionally that resulted in her starting up a new show titled The Drama Company, all Kapil Sharma had to say was that he never asked anyone to leave or be a part of the show. While he and Sunil had prior to this sorted out their differences as the latter even returned to the show, Kapil continued to state that even now, he would be happy to welcome anyone who wants to re-join the show. He also wished Preeti all the luck for her new show and added that personal equations do not decide his professional moves.
As for his own return, Kapil revealed that his treatment would be completed by the end of September and that he would be back with the show on Sony network once he finishes the promotions of his film Firangi. He also added that Firangi is almost on the verge of completion and that only the shoot of a promotional video and a song is left to be shot in Mumbai.

Unlock NAMA launch in Dublin, Ireland. Conor McCabe speaking. The stop sign system of asset speculation that is maintained by NAMA.
A disused building at 65-67 Great Strand Street in Dublin city centre was occupied and transformed for one day to bring transparency to and challenge the actions of Ireland's National Assets Management Agency (NAMA). To launch the campaign, a NAMA building was taken over as a venue for a number of educational talks, with tea, coffee and cupcakes, until the Gardai came along and made everyone leave.
