julian assange freed pending his plea deal with the US– here is looking back at what happened…
rape allegation (all dropped and forgotten) involving swedes anna ardin and sofia wilen
julian assange before his arrest and time in united kingdom’s belmarsh prison. assange stood up to the most powerful forces in history and made them bow their heads in shame. he humiliated the US and then faced their wrath. within weeks of seeking refuge in sweden, julian assange had a warrant out for his arrest for rape and sexual molestation (all cases were eventually dropped)…
“i am not a cia agent” anna ardin who assange had sexual relationship with upon his stay in sweden prior to the allegations
sofia wilen another of assange partners during his stay in sweden
four corners BBC sex lies and julian assange documentary – a total political hit
four corners BBC hero or villain – julians wiki partner dishes out some hate toward assange
60 minutes the 2011 6o minutes interview
“…what followed next may define the modern era. quickly after the accusations began, concerns emerged about the legal barrage aimed at him. this documentary by the BBC gets to the heart of the matter and tells a tale of david and goliath. “sitting outdoors with the world’s coolest, smartest people! it’s amazing!”, anna ardin tweeted, as she sat at a barbecue she had arranged for assange.
yet according to the allegations she would later bring against him he had recently sexually abused her. “you wouldn’t send such messages if you had been raped by someone the night before”, argues assange’s lawyer.
assange believes that the whole legal snafu is aimed at sending him to the united states to face trial for revealing state secrets.”quite incredible to see this documentary now and see everything he was saying, all his paranoia was all valid…. by dd
meet mschfs original founder and chief geek officer, mister gabe whaley
mschf is an art collective / media company / viral for hire agency and very successful at it… of course you must know about the big red boots
we reckon the big red boots was genuine art project which them lead to the collab. with crocs that generated commercial income.
times new NEW roman
one of their earlier projects and our favorite one is the type design project to create “times new NEW roman” which is the same as times new roman but 10% wider. so when you write your college essay your 8 pages will result in 10 pages. nice cheat!!
turbo tax but more fun. tax heaven 3000 was a spoof tax software designed by mschf where the anime girl will walk you through questions, some quite personal, such as your social security number and in the end help you calculate your taxes. about 200 were created. genuine art project.
this “nike, drop of blood in the sole, lil nas satan shoe” project was the first time we ever heard about mschf… back then it smelled like marketing and we paid little heed… but was it marketing?
vans shoes sues mschf for its wavy baby sneakers. not really buying this lawsuit – but we guess you gotta keep the magic under lock and key for it to work.
mschf founder gabe whaley & the art of going viral | EP 33 by business untitled
and here’s an interview with mister gabe whaley himself, telling his sweet story to success from west point to buzz feed. well done gabe!! you are a commercial version of tobias wong whom we loved (RIP)… but you are a 100% better than daniel arsham (reddit)who occupies a similar space. by sv
“chit chat with oysters” – december 1971 (studio europa sonor, paris, france) – pink floyd with big thanks to adrian maben and cinémathèque française for this release!
there was a time when not all lyrics meddled around some lame-ass persons idea of being hot and sexy, either writing about their dick or their fat ass. don’t get me wrong was just listening to doja “i keep it juicy juicy, she keep that booty booty… he like it thick he like it fat” all good fun but i mean its kindda comical really isn’t it? i cant help but giggle at myself and how shallow and primal we have become. its all just dicks and ass and food and money.
then i was watching this pink floyd documentary and the song echoes came on… went something like…
strangers passing in the street by chance, two separate glances meet and I am you and what I see is me and do i take you by the hand and lead you through the land and help me understand the best i can?
i guess that’s what you get when you put a guitar player and 3 architecture students to make music. good times. more of that please. by ar
dont wanna forget this one… “rodney mullen has seen it all. besides inventing the entire platform of street skating as we know it, he’s lived through and witnessed every iteration thereof—from his days as a freestyle champ in the ’80s to modern day technical wizardry. and while he knows how to manipulate a plank of wood better than any other living being on the planet, he’s also got the uncanny ability to articulate what it means to be a skateboarder better than anyone else. we sat him down for a quick chat, and got his take on the essence of skateboarding for our own private TED talk. rodney, we love you. you truly are something special. congratulations on 10 years of almost!” hope you enjoy it. by nk

great documentary on the lakota nation and their quest for justice – quite an interesting film to view in these trying times. saw this again for the third time tonight (if you count movies seen on flights as one) available on apple tv and on youtube – well worth the watch, especially if you pay for it xx by xy
the factory in belfast smack in the middle of the IRA wars
great BBC docu on the downfall
john delorean worked at GMC (general motors company) and became one of its highly paid presidents, he was cocky and brash and surely pissed off a lot of top brass at the company. he was fired / he resigned (depending whom you ask) to build his dream car company named DMC (delorean motors company). GMC was not happy. margaret thatcher and ronlad reagans FBI somehow were involved in bringing the company down and convicting john delorean on drug charges. he was ruined, the company went bankrupt, but all charges where dropped. john became a born again christian and supposedly went to heaven. by uh
