#Ironeme?

Never attribute to incompetence what can be attributed to incompetence AND malice, combined in various proportions...

@mediapart and it seems that some US gov agency has a veto over key personal in OCCRP. details here: https://www.mediapart.fr/en/journal/international/021224/hidden-links-between-giant-investigative-journalism-and-us-government

and a shocker at the end: https://www.mediapart.fr/en/journal/international/021224/german-broadcaster-ndr-censored-own-investigation-world-s-largest-consortium-investigative-media german broadcaster #NDR which initiated this report, cancels coop with occrp and at the same time censors their own production.

The investigation-within-the-investigation is also particularly delicious and reveals how deep is #OCCCRP's influence: https://www.mediapart.fr/en/journal/international/021224/german-broadcaster-ndr-censored-own-investigation-world-s-largest-consortium-investigative-media

German public broadcaster NDR, who initiated the investigation, later ended its partnership with OCCRP.

But NDR journalists, after being congratulated by their management for their findings, saw their report canceled from airing.

"not interesting for their audience" really?What's real is the pressure, deceit and lies of OCCRP's head on NDR!

@mediapart

MUST-READ international investigation by Y. Philippin, J. Goetz and many more. It reveals how the biggest consortium of investigative journalism (#OCCRP) is mostly controled -covertly- by the US to serve its interest: to attack its opponents and leave US interests alone.

By hiding those links to its own journalists, OCCRP exposed some of them to risks of emprisonment and even death.

The appartus of "soft-power" influence of the empire, through deceit and lies, caught pants down!

@mediapart et pour couronner le tout, a lire aussi, l'analyse de Fabrice Arfi https://mamot.fr/@mediapart@mediapart.social/113584078962694440 #OCCRP

@mediapart et pour se convaincre de l'étendue de l'influence d'#OCCRP dans le monde du journalisme, voir l'enquete-dans-l'enquete, ou le radiodiffuseur public (!) NDR s'auto-censure apres avoir félicité ses journalistes pour leur enquete!

Rocambolesque!

@mediapart Lisez cette incroyable enquete de Y. Philippin, John Goetz et beaucoup d'autres.

Comment une "major" du journalisme était en réalité au service de US pour attaquer leurs ennemis (et surtout pas eux), et surtout a caché ses liens a ses propres jouralistes, les mettant parfois en danger de mort.

Une radiographie crue des techniques et mensonges de l'empire pour étendre son influence... Des révélations qui vont durablement secouer le monde du journalisme. #OCCRP

to explore #Cinema in perpendicular ways, i sometimes search my favourite #bittorrent trackers:

- by directors, exploring entire filmographies (Truffaut, Hitchcock, Murnau, Lang, Melville, Lautner, Godard, Varda, Risi, Pietrangelli, Antonioni, Fellini, Yimou, Gavras, Wilder, Eisenstein, Fulci, Kurosawa, Campion, etc.)

- by name (or through lists) of specific production houses (Hammer, Shaw, Ghibli, Golden Harvest, Cannon, ..)

- by year, for fantastic journeys 1972, 1966, 1984, 1917, etc.

😴 stories where "good" triumphs over "evil" are often boring (a tiny fraction of ways to tell stories);

🌟 like always: diversity is beautiful and inspiring;

💞 Sharing is caring. <3

I love all Cinema! ❤️ 🎬

6/6

My current conclusions:

✊ Cinema, like all things is political;

🧠 Like all works of the mind, it influences people;

📚 Like all cultural works it requires *active* participation/navigation/learning, otherwise one ends up being manipulated;

🌊 #bittorrent rocks;

☠️ "war on #piracy" is a brutal form of imperialism serving US interests;

🔫 I dislike guns/glorification of violence;

🦖 huge special effects are rarely nice, most of the time overwhelming and boring, filling some void;

...

5/6

🌍 From Japan's Kurosawa's classics, to Italian Giallo; from Hong-Kong Shaw Bros to Soviet neo-realism; From Truffaut to Mocky to Melville; from Pasolini to Pietrangeli to Fellini; from Argentina to Poland, etc. The list is endless!

🤯 The more I learn, the more I realize I know *nothing* about Cinema! So much has been produced everywhere, by people of such different backgrounds, animated by such similar passion of sharing stories with the World!

🎶 (dont get me started on soundtracks!)

4/6

🪖 Even some of the most modest productions get infused by the geopolitical agenda of the USA, and the PR interests of its armies and intelligence agencies: USA always the center of the World, the "good guys", defines "bad guys".

😵💫 This is subtle but extremely powerful. I want to reset my perspectives and World view by adding multiple input, by counter-balancing that force. In past 20years, thanks to #bittorrent🌊 I explored cinema of all places and times:

3/6

🥱 While some remarkable indie stuff comes from Hollywood, most its production is *very* homogeneous at a given time in terms of aesthetics, story structures, people making it. I want more diverse aesthetics, cultural background and people!

💥 Some cultural tropes from the USA are almost inevitable, got ingrained in my mind: Most movies contain at least one gun shot. Some contain hundreds, if not thousands, and explosions. Gun saves. "Good guy with a gun" wins. Heroes and cars...

...

2/6

🎥 I am actively trying to *De-Hollywoodize* myself and the #cinema I experience.

Sure I am not making a generality: There are some amazing past and present movies coming from the #USA...

..but:

🇺🇸 A majority of movies I watched before i was 20 were from the US. This formed my entire relationship to Cinema in terms of formats, expectations, emotions, and culture. So I am now trying to bring this ratio down for the rest of my life.

@spv Absolutely! It is part of having total control over the bootloader, which, when you think of it is really the foundational freedom for software+hardware freedom.

(tried recently for research purpose to "unlock" a "modern" android device and oh my #$@% absolutely %$#!@! f@#! hell!!)

At least this time nobody can credibly blame #Assange for #trump 's election!

(The same who did last time will again find -i am sure- ways to avoid honestly assessing 1/ how broken is the US election system 2/ how tragically corrupt is the bi-partisan system 3/ how comically bad is the DNC 4/ how weak was their candidate, almost indistiguishable from the worst...5/ how racist, mysogynist, violent is the population... 6/ how much participating in twitter is part of the problem...)

#sad #irony

Has anyone had success in fixing a #pinephone (almost 5yo, that fell a few times) which microphone is now either completely mute, or sometimes generating loud noise, but kinda works when pinched (accross screen and back)

Something like this technique https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/User:Earboxer/Shim_U101 or something else?

Any advice? how straightforward is it otherwise to change the USB-C board?

Grillon pas lésé tape.

I just heard that Alison Mason passed, back in her native Australia. 😭

She relentlessly organized and mobilized for the defense of #Assange. ✊

During lockdown and beyond, with a small group of people she kept mobilized and cared for, they took the streets every day, making Assange's persecution one of the topics always visible around the landmarks of London...
