Julian Assange

GLOBAL GOSSIP – US ELECTION 2012 MORNING AFTER

“He is a wolf in sheep’s clothing.”

Julian Assange on Obama‘s censorship policies.

“There does seem to be some hypocrisy in that.”

Julian Assange on David Cameron on Bashar al-Assad.

What I think: The Wikileaks saga introduced Australia’s Julian Gillard to the world (ironically) while also achieving US foreign policies agenda in shaking up the Mid-East pre the Egyptian and Libyan uprisings. Both of those were played out as a Wikileaks-Facebook combo of accelrators to the uprisings. Julian would turn out to be an unaware actor in the wider agenda. (more…)

JULIAN ASSANGE – 20.8.12

Julian Assange‘s latest press conference in Ecuador had the world listening today.

KIWIS JOIN JULIAN ASSANGE PROTEST IN ECUADOR & OTHER RECOLLECTIONS OF NAUGHTY AUSSIES IN THE NEWS

In Ecuador, Kiwis have allegedly joined the protest for Julian Assange‘s freedom. William Haig featured on the news today talking about it too via BBC news reporting.

Let’s recall the Assange drama then: If I recall, an American soldier gave Julian the private US military info. Julian then distributed it to media. US media fed on every single document Julian sent them. Politicians and world leaders suddenly became more popular than Hollywood stars or sports stars, through what Julian did. Wikileaks was en vogue news. People even talked about it over Russian vodka Martinis in LA with Britney Spears and Rihanna pop hits blaring in the blackground.

A weird fusion combo, yet that was LA’s social circuit at the time. It made everyone feel just that tad bit mo smarter.

Political gossip and foreign affairs gossip filled tabloids and grew social media platforms for the USA, like no other content that period. Some new billionaires were even made from distributing Wikileaks stories via US military and Assange’s distribution. New Zealand’s Wikileaks content was extremely tame, compared to everyone else’s political gossip. I was disappointed. It happened not long after NZ’s PM appeared on the late show with David Letterman introduced as a guy from the 1950′s. That was funny.

In New Zealand, we even got one billionaire, who benefitted from the Wikileaks social media platforms buzz, shipped to NZ, years later.

However, at the time Hillary Clinton had to clean up the Wikileaks mess in global affairs. Off Hillary flew on her jet air plane trying to calm things down. At the same time Angelina Jolie was jetting the world too, filming The Tourist.

Julia (Australia’s new PM), suddenly became more prominent in the world at that time as no one in the US knew who she was. However, when Assange was mentioned, and given the fact that he was an Australian citizen, the US audience would then look at Australian news to see what was going on. It fast became a Mid-East story though.

JUDGE HARVEY THINKS USA’S MILITARY ACQUISTION OF DIGITAL DATA & IT MILITARY SPYING VERGES ON BEING FBI DISNEYLAND STATUS

In “Fair Deal” privacy protection news: ”District Court Judge David Harvey has heard parts of the case against the Megaupload founder, who was arrested with three colleagues in January after a request from the United States. The FBI has accused Dotcom and others working at Megaupload website of the world’s biggest case of criminal copyright violation.”

Interesting. Also check out Corin Dann‘s interview with Pamela Jones Harbour of how Google and the USA are totally getting all up in everyone’s business IP mix.

Also what goes up in “the cloud computing arena” will be shared with Google’s mates, so the culture of Insider Trading is totally being facilitated by the USA who are masters at creative IP fusion. “Skins are us,” is the mobile telephony and IT tablet culture of US ideas going into the machine quicker and being churned out as US ideas, quicker so than what most other nations (bar China) can churn out new ideas in new forms. Or more to the point, the fused IP ideas are made by Americans in China, then returned back to the US as China products, even denying American citizens jobs.

It’s not entirely the USA’s fault. Americans consome more than any other nation. They have to keep up with the demand of consumption is the theory of “incorporating” ideas quicker. The pace of consumption you only understand if you actually do a two-year or more period of time within the USA. That, and not being very good at being no.2, drive this compulsion in the USA’s culture. Not every American is like that though, of course. :)

The same can be said of Steven Joyce‘s new super ministry in New Zealand too. A business hub has the same ability to collect the best business templates. A future area of IP law could grow as if NZ author’s biz templates were to be hacked into (it does happen), there could be court cases ahead of inventors and patent protection of biz owners ideas etc. New ideas are more addictive than pharmaceutical drugs to American people. They respond openly to innovation as innovation is one of the redeeming qualities of America as a nation. When dong good, they create pictures of liberty on display for the world. The attention span of Americans is always all about ‘the next new thing.’ In addition telecommunications companies need to guarantee emailed documents are not going down the wire, or through the airwaves to a hub of data collection too, that could abuse creative peoples incentives to create useful products more.

So in such a culture, it’s about remembering manners where you can and giving credit to where the ideas came from – and co-partnering on IP whakapapa rather than just taking it from the authors without credit. So I guess this isn’t a privacy issue alone, it is a meanness of spirit issue and potentially an industry of blackmail too with facts gathering.

So much of foreign affairs trade deals, trades gossip as capital to acquire stuff. That’s why more negotiators at the table is healthy, as if dirt is found on a nation’s key negotiator through IT they will trade off more than they should, for personal reasons. That is not what they were elected to do, so such deals are illegal without the consent of the citizen’s who own the assets being traded (including all IP and data of citizen’s of one particular nation’s habits, thoughts, work too). Such invisible illegal trade set ups need to cease until democracy on issues of trade have occurred with the citizens who own them.

So, because leaders are a target, a team of honest people helps reduce that culture and leverage of greed in trade deals. At best a team seeks to serve the children in a nation’s potential now and down the track. IT gives the US an advantage to plan this path for American citizen children, and also the nations the USA trades this information to for certain things the USA wants. China has been planning like this down the track for years. Therefore, the authors of the ideas, who are not the property or cattle of any State, often get robbed in this process of fair reward. More needs to be said of this style of culture at corporate and political level.

The USA is very good at a style of negotiating that trades heavily on gossip leverage, as shown with the Wikileaks diversion that demolished foreign affairs trust among nations, while being the perfect diversion for the Global Financial Crises shake, rattle n’ roll corporate banking crimes too. This should not be surprising though, as the internet was first designed for military purposes and the military were using the technology, long before anyone else knew of IT’s existence or capabilities.

The nature of IT is military information acquisition. After that lifestyle. Then sharing information. Entertainment distraction and education also feature as drawcards of audiences to IT. Oh, and of course E-Commerce as well.  The more time online, the more information is collected of you. If this is the case, there’s nothing to fear, just live life in the open. Or live a life offline. Be more honest is the gift of IT to us all.

One should never fear an IT company’s knowledge of the individual. Or the government trading this information. It’s like ‘get a life.’ Trading secrets about people can tend to cramp life, not add to it, so as individuals we have to choose to live free from any fear in an IT world. Just do it. Needless to say, laws need to change to protect IT data mined information about individuals and their civil and human rights. If we don’t do this, we are not being humane. Too corporate greedy.

One of the strange ironies in the world is that the Security Industries that tax payers pay for, actually is used against citizens too and can be relabelled The Insecurity Industries in such instances. The latter name being more honest about that exhorbitant tax spend. IT also stitches elections through data mining and manipulating IT too. Elections are ’won’ on the biggest budgets for IT and media spend these days. That’s why youth are reacting so weirdly, as they feel like democracy isn’t in the air any more. In many cases on key issues, they’re quite right. I mean, there’s only so many video games you can play to express your anger or distract yourself until you acquire grey hair to then be seen with an opinion, as a young person. So democracy needs to be restored to give youth a feeling of a true sense of home in nations that offer democratic process as an expression of freedom, liberty and hope to have a decent chance of achieving an attainable dream in country’s somehow by a miracle, fortunate enough to still have this reality achievable for its own citizens. That is the essence of human rights in operation. How do we get back to that center?

On the topic of spying for capital gain (a US artform generating billionaires in the game), watch the rather stunning PJH above.

Judge Harvey is not due to hear the internet mogul’s extradition case until next year but made his views on copyright known during the launch of the “Fair Deal” campaign last week.

The campaign is opposing any changes to New Zealand’s copyright laws that may form part of the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement.

The TPP trade deal is currently being negotiated and the 13th round of talks are finishing up.

The negotiations are secret but it is known that the United States entertainment industry is pushing for stronger copyright provisions among the 11 countries in the Asia-Pacific region negotiating the deal. America is a melting pot of many cultures ideas. There are Maori and Polynesian characters all over Nickelodean’s children’s channel in the US for example – yet the same rule of thumb does not go back to New Zealand or Polynesia peoples of the South Pacific, for such cultural appropriation the US forgets they borrow heavily from all the time and disguise with costumes, diverse casting calls and of course, the American accent and a poker face too. The US is a shell, needing inspiration to reinvent new consumable products for its people. An American told me that and it is true. So the ball needs to go back to the center of the copyright issue. If the US is honest about that. Drop the poker face. Trade deals that are win-win are based on trust. This is only evident when honesty without pretense is present in trade deals processes and trading citizens peoples concerns are actually being listened to and upheld. How do we ensure such an environment of trading occurs. Otherwise all deals should be off. As a Kiwi, I know, the NZ people can wait until such an environment is present at the table. So, it’s America’s call to find a medium of negotiating culture that is in the center of what America thinks it knows and what others know to.

Judge Harvey also quoted media analyst, journalist and political debater Russell Brown‘s tweet on the topic from earlier on: “we have met the enemy and he is [the] U.S.” Judge Harvey’s remark is a play on the line “we have met the enemy and he is us” by American cartoonist Walt Kelly. Brown and Judge Harvey are referring to DVD codes copying that robs filmmakers of their next farm purchase, or shares acquistion as a virtual farmer in Fonterra in New Zealand, something shocking!

I don’t know how such Oscar winning filmmakers can sleep easily at night, as well as being such high profile activists for indigenous peoples rights too. They’re incredible!

Crown Law, which is representing the FBI in the extradition case, would not comment on the issue.

JULIAN ASSANGE TO RUN FOR AUSTRALIA’S SENATE

REMEMBERING CAPTAIN JAMES COOK VIA WIKIPEDIA

I notice that Wikileaks is being majorly considered for a Nobel Peace Prize Award, whereas encyclopedia (with oft skewed, not always factually correct information) Wikipedia, is not.

How can one person, Julian Assange be considered to win an award over all of the gazillion million trillion billion co-authors that Wikipedia claims contribute to their global knowledge bank? But yes, that is the case.

After Facebook at no.1, Google at no.2, Some other website at no.3 (Yahoo probably!), Wikipedia is the 4th most viewed website in The Western World. Wikileaks website never was that popular at influencing people. So, go figure.

Anyway, Wikipedia is awesome, as we know. You can even check up to see the first nonMaori New Zealander from the U.K who ever set foot on Aotearoa New Zealand soil. His name?

Captain James Cook: He is the prototype of white people of British persuasion in New Zealand, and he wasn’t all that bad. Here’s a bit on James, “Captain James Cook FRS RN (7 November 1728 – 14 February 1779) was a British explorer, navigator and cartographer, ultimately rising to the rank of Captain in the Royal Navy. Cook made detailed maps of Newfoundland prior to making three voyages to the Pacific Ocean during which he achieved the first European contact with the eastern coastline of Australia and the Hawaiian Islands as well as the first recorded circumnavigation of New Zealand.”

Like Lady Gaga, James kinda lived in a world where wearing wigs was kinda what they liked to do. As depicted by this photograph, also sourced via Wikipedia. It’s strange how Cook has Polynesian connection on the high seas, just like Maori people of New Zealand do, with Hawaii also. Kinda mirror image voyagers being shared today in New Zealand in contemporary modern and exciting Kiwi culture.

James couldn’t cook though. :)

Perhaps the Kiwi sense of humor is best reflected in the way that a wild breed of pig, is named the “Captain Cooker” in honor of James. Go figure! But that is too funny.

KIM KARDASHIAN LOVES GIVING – CELEBRITY POLITICO SOUP FROM HOLLYWOOD – 1.27.11

“We must out-compete and out-build the world”–President Barack Obama to the American people, SoU address, 2011.

You can’t really have favorites in America. Everyone expressing ‘art’ and creating ‘pop culture’ to help Corporate America (Apple, Google and Facebook) out to ‘out-compete the world,’ via I.T and mobile telephony culture, has their own unique expressions of American-ness as they generate media-sharing connection points.

Four favorite ladies of celebrity news currently are always: Kim Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian, Stefani Germanotta (or Lady Gaga) and Alecia Keyspictured. Here’s a quick snap-shot of news (entertainment and celebrity news with a dash of politics) being created and sent out via America today.

The generous soul shall themselves be watered is an old proverb that’s so true. With that thought in mind, not only has she just announced that her breasts are 100% real but Kim Kardashian shocks Hollywood by announcing that she gives 10% or what she earns to charity. In particular, The Dream Foundation. Nice one! Kim also gives to her mom’s church out in Calabasas. That was new news.

Lady Gaga plays devil’s advocate for the ‘security industry’s’ marketing drive worldwide, her new song lyrics are: “Give yourself prudence and love your friends, subway kid rejoice your truth. In the religion of the insecure I must: be myself, respect my youth.” I would have to say that ‘prudence’ and Stefani Germanotta‘s presentation have never met each other once in her role for the US as Lady Gaga, so who is girl trippin out on here, except the naive? Lol! Her schizophrenia as a rather creative artist, makes her loved worldwide as a distraction from what’s real. Who does Germanotta date, exactly? Case in point. One more time… who does Stefani Germanotta personally date exactly? One more time… Yep! We still love her crazy in the USA! To keep Germotta’s politics fair beyond a dollar sign… Here’s some some lyrics too: “Born This Way: Gaga is the sound a newborn makes in Uganda when…” Sometimes, you have to ask, why don’t gay girl artists make bank like Germanotta, and isn’t she ready to hand over the gay ticket to introduce other artists who need to be fed too? With $70 million in the bank, she should be about now.

PENDING BANKING NEWS, JULIAN ASSANGE NEWS, WIKILEAKS UPDATES – 12.21.10

Speculation is currently swirling that WikiLeaks may be targeting Bank of America in its next leak, that Forbes interview will target at least on major bank. Some say Bank of America is that bank. The Huffington Post claims an executive at a major American bank will resign over the information. After millions have been spent by the US government investigating Wall Street biz practices it may be embarrassing being trumped by wikileaks information being released. These banking documents have nothing to do with Private Manning‘s leaked docs as a US military personnel.

New York Times scribe Andrew Ross Sorkin, points out that in his opinion it is not Wall Street executives who are worried about WikiLeaks’ next bombshell, it’s Wall Street regulators whose existence will be gauged via information sharing of a banking system’s methods. To be honest, if you know Bank of America, if these docs do affect this bank–it is actually no major loss to the American people. BoA is commonly known as not being a very good bank here in California. That’s the public perception of this bank.

The banking scandal looks scarier than what it is-from an average Joe customer’s viewpoint of this bank, that being “no bueno.”
