Made with thousands of "@" symbols (the common "At sign" typographic character). It took me a few days of work. I applied each character one by one and used several references for the accuracy of the portrait. Each symbol is made of a single color and tone. (I left the portrait unfinished on purpose, I think it's better this way).
"@" like "@ctivist" and "@ssange"... Julian is a courageous man fighting for Justice and Democracy despite many criticisms...
Julian Paul Assange is the founder, spokesperson and editor in chief of WikiLeaks (a whistleblower website and conduit for news leaks). He is also an Australian publisher, journalist, software developer and Internet activist.

our daily challenge - whistle
with all the commotion about wikileaks in the recent news Danbo decided she'd have a look at what it was all about. interestingly enough she came back with some juicy stories!
-------
i took the whole whistle theme a bit far today and went for 'whistleblower'. seemed to fit the recent news and after looking around for about an hour all over the house i couldn't find a single whistle!! then i thought i'd use my wife's flute since flute and whistle translated to dutch give you the same word (fluit) but euhm, lets say she should clean that thoroughly first and use it more.. :P

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.

Tribute #1 to Julian Assange
(Creative Commons Paternity) original version free on Flickr 2592 x 3872
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.

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.
At one time rumors have speculated that Julian Assange was missing, but a couple weeks later they said he is not dead, but no one has actually seen him and talked to him. Keep me posted if you have any news about him.
5 Signs Julian Assange might be Dead or Missing
Julian Assange has not been seen alive in public or on video since October 4, 2016.
These 5 strange pieces of evidence suggest that he may be dead or missing and that WikiLeaks may be under attack by the US government or an unknown hostile actor.

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."

An Assange supporter outside the High Court in London appeals to passing motorists.
The photo taken shortly before Julian Assange's defence team won the right to take his extradition case to the UK's Supreme Court.
When Julian Assange's fiancée, Stella Morris, left the building she 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 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.

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.

Since 9/11, the US government, through Presidents Bush and Obama, has
increasingly told the US public that "state secrets" will not be
shared with citizens. Candidate Obama pledged to reduce the use of
state secrets, but President Obama continued the Bush tradition. The

Rally to Free Julian Assange and support the wikileaks website from government persecution arising from Cablegate - the progressive release of 250,000 US diplomatic cables, incombination with major newspapers. Protest gathered on the lawns of State Library in Melbourne at 5.30pm December 14. Julian Assange second bail hearing will soon be heard in a London Court.
The rally heard from Jacob Grech from Victorian Trades Hall, Adam Bandt, member for Melbourne and Assange's elected representative in Federal House of Representatives, a union official from the Media and Entertainment Alliance, Colin Jacobs from the Electronic Frontiers Australia, and Rob Stary, Julian's Australian lawyer.
With over a thousand people at the rally there was a call to march on the British Consulate in Collins Street.

Freedom and Truth amidst Wikileaks
We are Born Free, and Everywhere We are In Chains - Rousseau, slightly paraphrased.
Phoenix, 30.12/10 - in Studio pre-installation.
According to my source, this is where Julian Assange pulled off the Wikileaks caper.
Reykjavik, Iceland.
This is a graph showing the distribution of the 255,000+ cables included in the #cablegate release.
I rendered this out to give me a better idea of the time-wise distribution of the cables in the database. Even though there are scattered cables that occur as early as 1966, the vast majority of cables begin around 2004.
Sources (typically embassies and consulates) are sorted into columns right to left. Time is on the vertical axis, running from 1966 at the top to 2010 at the bottom.
As you can see, the vast majority of cable activity (at least in the releases) occurs well after 9/11 (the red line).
There are some notable sources which show increased activity before 9/11 (for example the embassy in Harare), but most sources increase after that event - typically starting around 2004 or 2005.
This bottom-heavy distribution was not what I expected when I started pursuing the idea I had for animated comparisons of terms over time - and forces me to reconsider the feasibility of that approach (though it could simply mean using a shorter time period for focus).
