T-shirts and other merchandising products, which would be at the events of 2020 that did not happen, are for sale online and the revenue reverts entirely to support the Audiovisual Union.

Lisbon, 26 November 2020 – In response to the serious impact on the events and entertainment business (music festivals, plays, marathons, exhibitions, all sorts of events), caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, a group of entities created an online platform that aims to help the Audiovisual Union.
Because 2020 doesn’t have to be a complete waste, the “UNCANCEL COLLECTION” consists of the sale of merchandising from events that were cancelled in 2020 (most of it was going to rot away in warehouses). The merchandising products of music festivals and other events, as well as from the brands that are usually present in those events, will be on sale at www.uncancel2020.pt and the revenue will be entirely used to support professionals from that sector.
The “UNCANCEL COLLECTION” is available online between November 24th and December 15th, and starts already with thousands of articles and with space for more brands to join in. The organisation hopes that other events and brands will join this campaign, which aims to help those who need it most in these dark times that the industry is experiencing, and where hunger is already a reality for many of them. All proceeds will later be converted into food cards distributed through União Audiovisual.
At this time, “UNCANCEL COLLECTION” has merchandising from some well-known music festivals (from Portugal and Brasil) such as Rock in Rio, NOS Alive and NOS Primavera Sound, Vodafone Paredes de Coura, SBSR, Meo Sudoeste, among others, as well as activation products brands like Worten, Super Bock, Corum Investments, or Sesimbra Natura Park, as well as bands like Da Weasel and Um Corpo Estranho.
The initiative came from the agency Stream and Tough Guy in partnership with H2N, NOSSA and CorpCom, on a pro bono basis, and has the institutional support of Millennium bcp, with the support of Minipreço, and also with the producers and promoters of Everything is New, Music in the Heart, Rhythms, and Rock in Rio events. CCA Law Firm is the legal partner.
“When buying a souvenir of the event that did not happen, people are not only buying a souvenir of a cultural or sports event that this virus forced to get cancelled, but they are, above all, helping events professionals in this most difficult phase of their lives. It’s a way to turn waste into a cause where everyone can participate ”, explains João Ribeiro, managing partner at Stream and Tough Guy.
“In addition to the merchandising of cancelled events, for those who do not wish to purchase one of the physical products available or if the collection runs out, the virtual t-shirt “UNCANCEL COLLECTION” was created. This “e-shirt”, which also works as shareable content on social networks is a direct donation to professionals in the audiovisual sector that can be made by individuals or companies and aims to raise awareness for the cause.”, explains Miguel Durão, creative partner at Stream and Tough Guy.
No one can even come close to understanding the importance of the current fight for the heart of America that is happening right now. Either America reclaims its Republic or it is forever lost to China and its communist global push.
Many Democrat voters are ignorant to what communism is, or the hold China has on the Biden family, who are compromised Chinese assets and most worryingly, puppets of the CCP if they ever gain the presidency.
Low information, uneducated voters only see limited things when they vote, yes they hate Trump, so vote for the other guy, but that other guy will kill off America and make everyone’s life a living hell. The Democrat Party aligned with BLM and ANTIFA only care about their ideological programming and how they will effectuate that communist programming when in power.
Along with evidence of massive voter fraud in key states, the level of corruption seen in the 2020 elections has been unparalleled. This is a fight for the very mantle of democracy and trust in the American electoral system at stake.
If Trump plays his cards correctly, aligned with the U.S. constitution which has statutes in law that protect the nation from such corruption, then he will pull through, because the evidence of corruption is so compelling. High Treason, is a serious allegation to throw around, however the proof when presented in court could present a problem for those who have aligned themselves with America’s enemies to collaborate and meddle in the 2020 elections.
To this respect, those who work and run certain media organisations, social networks, search engines, governors, congress members, deep state operatives of the swamp, and those who tried to steal the election, high level operatives of the Democrat Party, all worked in unison to corrupt the very mantle of democracy in the USA by meddling with the electoral process, should be arrested, and even renditioned to black sites where they would be interrogated properly.
It is important to realise the importance of cutting out the tumours eating away at America right now. At the moment, the country is in the preliminary stage of death, but if Biden wins over Trump, then America will be terminal, and even if there is a civil war, the Republic will have been damaged irreparably. If Trump gives up the fight, America will be immediately lost as well. Many Americans are urging him to fight on to reveal the corrupters, traitors and treasonous swine entrenched within a system so bereft of anything good that it defies any scale.
Everything is currently in place, the people that need to move are on standby, waiting for their orders, and we as observers can only wait for the real action to take place.
This year has been one of the most eventful years in the last few decades. The most significant event being the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic which caused a seismic shift in the world. Consequently, most countries had to make adjustments and adopt a new way of life. A lot of activities that were solely or mostly physical in nature have shifted into the online space. Even casino gambling is now stay-at-home leisure as platforms such as the True Blue casino allow people to gamble from home.
When we reflect on all the happenings of this year, we definitely would find out that a lot of popular trends emanated from the pandemic. However, some trends were driven by other forces. In this article, we’ll be looking at the top trends right now in four major categories:
Here are some of the most popular trends right now.

Technology Trends: Adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Artificial Intelligence involves giving machines the ability to execute their functions intelligently, just like a human would. This tech has proven to be a great help during these times as with it, businesses can now support their clients all round the clock with AI serving as customer care representatives. Almost every major company uses chatbots that are powered by AI. These bots save time, manpower, and of course money.
Asides from this, in terms of leisure and relaxation, AI has been incorporated into many video games thereby bringing the gamers closer to reality. For those who have introduced it to their homes, it is said to reduce stress as it can in the form of a robot perform house chores. While robots like Roomba and Worx have been around for some time, others such as Aido are relatively new and becoming more popular every day.
Popularity of 5G and IoT
The Internet of Things (IoT) is also a noteworthy trend. Its effects have been felt strongly in the medical sphere as the use of sensors by patients enables their condition to be easily monitored by their doctor and makes emergency response efficient. More efforts are being put into what has the potential to be a game-changer in the tech industry: the 5G Network?
Referred to as a next-generation wireless technology, the 5G network looks to change the way we work and live. It promises speed, taking long processes, and completing them in a manner of seconds. It also has greater bandwidth, giving it the ability to handle more connected devices than the previous networks. 5G plays an important role in the success of IoT as both technologies work hand-in-hand. As is expected of technological advancements, both systems are still undergoing improvements and upgrades.
Increased Dependence on E-learning
Tech has had a solid place in learning for a long time. The use of the internet to research on projects and assignments, projectors and ACTIVboards in classrooms, and apps to support the process makes learning more fun and interesting. The pandemic didn’t create the dependence on e-learning; it only increased it.
Despite many institutions opting to conduct lectures and classes online, education within the four walls of a school is not yet extinct. It’s still considered by many to be paramount because it facilitates the learning process and its impact cannot be overlooked. However, e-learning made new waves due to the global pandemic as schools were shut down for most of the period. There was an introduction of online classrooms through apps like Google Meet and Zoom.
Class notes are given out in document form, and for further learning, there are recommended Youtube videos. Assignments, tests, and examinations are given and conducted online. These measures have allowed learning to continue despite the pandemic.
Because of its convenience, e-learning has become part of our lives even with the reopening of some schools.
Remote Working
Firms and organizations were not left out of the whole “stay at home” rule as of course, individuals are the force of work. Business activities were also affected but just like education, something needed to be done. Remote working has always been in existence, but for only certain kinds of jobs such as programming, writing, e-business, and so on.
More traditional firms took to remote working as there were already set goals for the year that needed accomplishing despite the pandemic which posed as a setback. Employees were made to carry out their daily activities, routine tasks, and duties from home which couldn’t have been easy.
It’s no surprise that many prefer to work at the office because of the lack of excessive distractions and access to all required tools for their job. The issue of communication with colleagues and team members while on a job wasn’t left out of the number of issues working from home would generate. Both employers and supervisors cherish immediate feedback from their subordinates.
Thankfully, with the aid of some very useful tools such as Zoom, Clockify, Google Drive, Slack, and many more, working from home has become quite convenient for lots of people.
More meetings, presentations, and interviews are being held virtually. Many companies have made the transition to remote work a success. With this development, organizations have been able to track their short term goals to see how effective working from home can be.
Huge Online Business Presence
A business’s presence could be physical, virtual, or both. The internet has always been an effective space for so many businesses as you are allowed to advertise your brand and gather as many customers as the business demands. A lot of businesses have benefited from this avenue, especially with the introduction and use of social media marketing.
Despite its potential, some business owners, especially those who provided one-on-one services, chose to stick with physical operations.
These days more business owners are abandoning their physical form and going full-on virtual. Businesses like the NZ Online casino, have proven that a previously physical experience like casino gambling, can become fully virtual and still offer satisfaction. For companies such as massage parlors, that have no option but to operate physically, social media marketing offers a way out. SMM is one of the various platforms offered by the internet to allow them to advertise their businesses and expand their customer base.
Businesses that have a compulsory physical presence now enjoy an upsurge in virtual activities. Grocery stores, gift shops, restaurants, fashion houses, salons, etc. are all vying for a bite of the internet cherry. At this rate, not having an online presence no matter your product or service will put you at a great disadvantage.
Media Trends: Use of Social Media as a Tool to Effect Change
It seems like it’s been ages since social media was nothing but a place to upload filtered pictures and memes. Right now, it’s used to engage teeming populations around the world about a desired change. This year has shown that social media has been and can be a tool to effect and create an awareness of a particular type of change so witnessed around the world. This was evident in the use of #BLACKLIVESMATTER and other related hashtags.
Essentially these hashtags were found to come in handy at the time of resistance against oppression. They found expression on TV programs, printed shirts, simple discussions, football matches, and basketball games. Most importantly, voices were being heard which was the main point from the start of the movement. Safe to say, social media now serves as a tool to globalize a struggle for change. Persons who were averse to reading traditional papers now have important societal information on their timelines.

Unfortunately, with all the advantages came along some shortcomings such as the dissemination of fake or unfiltered news and rumors. Social media apps like Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, and Instagram have become established tools for societal and political change. Apps such as Snapchat, Tiktok, Lomotif, Triller may not be as established, but ultimately serve their purposes when called upon. All these apps still bring fun and laughter to the faces of individuals with viral challenges, artiste mimics, as well as photo and video editing. If you had a lockdown in your city this year, you would most likely have participated in some of the fun.
Rise of Online Radio and Podcasts
Traditional radio may be dying off, but it would seem online radio is growing stronger every day. Podcasts and online radio have been in existence for some time already. However, the pandemic has helped these media channels to create their own legion of followers. Popular online personalities now leverage podcasts as a means of discussing their takes or views on topics that interest their followers. Content unfiltered and educational could reach listeners anywhere in the world.
Understandably, we cannot underestimate the power of the impact of programs that have been aired and listened to by the teeming subscribers. Worth mentioning is the flexibility these podcasts and online radio seem to offer; a winning ground compared to your regular radio stations whose programs cannot be listened to the moment the time is past and there happens not to be a rebroadcast of the same program.
Fashion Trends: Off-the-Shoulder and Puffy Sleeves
Off-the-shoulder has been a trend from last year and is still currently in vogue, tried out in different styles and patterns. Currently, the newly-attached design for off-the-shoulder wear in blouses or gowns is puffy sleeves. This has been the new fashion style and can be made with several fashion wear materials like chiffon, satin, and denim. It’s a beautiful design that suits both casual outings and dinner dates.
Crochet knitwear
Most especially in bra tops, crop tops, beach wears, full blouses, or off-the-shoulder tops, knitted wears have gained entry back into the market. Majorly in sweaters and cardigans, it trended a while back. However, in this season, it has won the heart of fashionistas. Men are not left out as vests are also made out of wool. This new trend has replaced the wear of sleeveless underwear from cotton, satin, or silk materials. Knitwear can be worn alone or desirably with a suitable jacket, which makes it more flexible.
Entertainment Trends: Event Buffering/Streaming
Due to the highly infectious nature of Covid-19, most countries encouraged, or downright ordered their citizens to avoid large gatherings and restrict visits to other people. This led to the cancellation of several events and concerts. In the wake of this disappointment, video streaming skyrocketed. As a result of the lockdown, many people decided to seek their entertainment from the comfort of their homes. Various video streaming Giants such as Netflix, Amazon, HBO, Hulu, Disney plus among others rose to the occasion as they provided movies and series in high resolution at affordable prices.
According to a survey, 55% of online streamers now watch more videos online than they used to. Many industries are jumping on this bandwagon as they are embracing this change by organizing virtual concerts and holding football games in front of virtual audiences. Even with the promise of a vaccine as soon as early January, you can expect this habit might be too hard to die.
Global Recognition of Korean Entertainment
Suddenly the South Koreans have leveled up their game and are seriously making waves in the entertainment industry. Their entry into the international community of musicians with their upbeat music has had a considerable impact as they begin to trend more than any other Asian group. Of all the K-pop groups making waves internationally, BTS has been the most successful and widely accepted.
K-dramas have also pierced through the heart of the global audience. The movie, ‘Parasite’ led the way when it won an Oscar for Best Picture, a feat never achieved by any foreign-language film before it. Now, Netflix-verified K-dramas with their amazing characters and interesting plots are gaining the spotlight.
Shift to Cloud Gaming
Video games have reached such a stage in terms of realism and intrigue that both adults and teens can enjoy them. As new entries are created, such as the latest games made to run optimally on newly-launched hardware like Sony Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X, it becomes harder for gamers to keep up. Not everyone can afford to upgrade to the latest-gen consoles. In comes cloud gaming: a gaming tech that allows gamers to play high-end games by “renting” hardware from an online platform. All you need is a good internet connection to stream the gameplay visuals on your phone, smart TV, or computer screens.
The heavy processing is the responsibility of services such as Sony Playstation Now, Nvidia GeForce Now, or Google Stadia.
No doubt, these trends, will make the rest of the year and the start of the next more interesting. From joining movements on social media to listening to good music and streaming amazing videos online, these trends are here to stay.
Wow! You survived, and are now living in the year 2030. The world has changed so much for the better, and thanks to the Joe Biden win in 2020, communism is now global. The United States is now completely aligned with the Chinese Communist Party, as is the rest of the former West. The Great Reset is now a reality.
In 2030, citizens of our great cities do not own anything, they have no cars, clothes, appliances, or own a home. Instead, everything is distributed to citizens on the basis of need freely and without cost. Thanks to the open borders system under Biden, millions of South Americans and poor people from all over the globe have descended on U.S. cities. The sheer volume of the influx means that all utilities and commodities are in very short supply.
With all these free things given to citizens in the Great Reset, free food, free heating, free internet, free accommodation as well as free transport, there are a few small drawbacks, there is absolutely no privacy, and the quality of all these free things is sub-par because of the vast population served.
China’s communist program of grading citizens has been rolled out across the globe now, and if a citizen does not adhere to any of the totalitarian controls or rules, they get low scores. When you get a low enough score, the global governmental system of citizen grading blacklists you from many things other citizens take for granted. You may one day find out you are not allowed on any transport system, you are told to leave your accommodation or that you are denied food. In this heavily tracked society, it thus pays to be a good citizen who obeys without question.
This post-consumerist society is built on no need for shopping because everything is re-used, recycled and built for longevity. If you need anything, you simply borrow it for a while, then return it. Why own something that would simply take up space lying there?
Your accommodation will also be used by multiple people, so when you are not there, for example, your living room could be used by anyone.
Now that AI and robots do 90% of jobs that humans can do, there is more free time. Citizens do not have to work any more, and your days are passed frolicking in the many parks, enjoying socialising with friends or your hobbies. Of course, as the AI increases its sentient state, you will eventually be looked upon as a curiosity by the AI, and labelled a ‘useless eater’ but that’s further in the future so do not bother yourself with such thoughts.
Thanks to the end of the need for constant growth economic models, now there is far less traffic on the roads, and very little manufacturing. People now live relaxed lives, their compulsory brainchips regulate their behaviour, and their every thought or words are tracked and logged by each city’s central processing centre. The hive mind is a reality, and if anyone tries to even have an individual thought, the authorities are alerted immediately. Once arrested, you are either re-programmed or terminated if you are a fighter of the system.
There will be those who choose to live outside the great cities, and these people will be looked upon as inferior. They are not brainchipped, and they have minds of their own. They live in farm communities where if they come into contact with global communist authorities are arrested immediately and made to disappear.
History in the future will be re-written and soon the old ways of the United States, Western democracy and civilisation will disappear. The digital records will disappear, and only things that are within the communist construct will be known.
Barack Hussein Obama has been likened to a bad case of the clap that keeps coming back constantly even after treatment.
“Oh look, there he is again, much like a pulsating suppurating genital Gonorrhoea wart — Barack Obama! This guy’s ugly head keeps popping up all the time and is wanted as much as a huge sulphurous dose of Super Gonorrhoea on the end of your todger!” one man quipped, wincing.
Gonnoreaobama
The world had eight long years of this insipid Marxist with a huge racist chip on his shoulder, and some would postulate, many of the problems we are all dealing with today are because of this ignominious turd called Obama.
The list of the horrid things committed by Obama are too many to list here, but we can name BLM, ANTIFA, China, transgendermafiaism and mass PC/biased censorship as his darlings.
“The enemies of America loved Obama, Iran, China, ISIS, Al Qaeda, Assad, North Korea, to name but a few. I can just imagine those U.S. military planes loaded up with millions of dollars to give to the Iranians, those were your tax dollars, given to a regime that would still keep on building nukes to shoot at us, and Obama handed them the money, he might as well have bent the whole country over to be fucked in the ass by the Ayatollahs!” an angry former Democrat voter revealed.
This is a question that is not always easy to answer. Several parameters contribute to this answer: ease of interface for the user, amount of money that can be generated, the user’s ability to withdraw large amounts of money with little effort. But not only that, also the security of the transactions, the commissions imposed on the shares and the payment methods that are supported, and finally also the ease of use. We will talk about this and more in the course of the article.
What is a trading app?
A trading app is a program that can be used on a tablet or mobile phone to be able to freely trade a virtual currency, but also stocks and indexes. A market value is attributed to each of these shares, a value that fluctuates according to the variability of the market: the objective of the trade is to seize the best time to sell (when prices are higher) and to buy (obviously, when prices are lower).
Top 5 trading apps
Don’t worry, you won’t have to spend countless hours to figure out, losing your money, which is the best: we’ve already thought of it, putting them together in a handy list.
Plus500 → It is an officially certified app for stocks, but we have observed that up to 71% of the basic accounts registered there lose money.
Capital.com → it has won the Best Beginner Stock Trading App Award for a few years in a row.
Trading212 → the strong point of this app is that the sale and exchange of stocks does not impose any commission.
IG → what impressed us most about this app is the fact that it is available in more than 13,000 markets.
eToro → hands down, the best trading app. There is no commission or withholding percentages on earnings, and it is spread across more than 12,000 markets with 2000 and more different stock types.
As you may have seen from the list, eToro is the best trading app currently on the market. Let’s see why.
First of all, you have certainly seen eToro advertising somewhere, it is in fact widespread even on television and appears very often on YouTube. The enthusiasm that investors show for eToro is due to the fact that the platform does not impose any fees, it is all 100% with no deductions. In addition to this, no registration, setting up, or other wasted time is required: eToro in fact derives its income from the 0.5% taxes it applies on deposits.
In case you wish to further understand the matter, this is a site that deals with the subject in a masterly way, here you can find the best stock trading apps.

How does a trading app work?
The functioning of a trading app is very simple: you can buy and sell shares for money, which you can then withdraw. However, the first step is to register: we will analyze it in four steps.
1 – Open an account
Opening an account on the eToro website will take you no more than three minutes, and you will need to enter basic information such as your name, date of birth, and some official documents.
2 – Download eToro
You can then download the app directly from the eToro website. Download it from the official site only, so you can be sure you don’t get any unofficial apps.
3 – Log in
As soon as the App download is complete, you will need to log in: it’s easy, simply enter the data with which you registered.
4 – Make a deposit
At this point you can make your first deposit, which should be around $ 200 (it’s the minimum required by the site), now a small fee of 0.5% will be applied, and it will be the only commission that eToro will apply. You can start trading.
What are the risks of a trading app?
These apps operate on an extremely volatile market, so the main risk is to lose the capital invested. We therefore recommend investing only what you can afford to lose, and to proceed with caution in the application interface to maximize your earnings and minimize losses. There is no better way to learn than by doing it.
The conclusion is quite simple: trading applications have revolutionized the world of finance, and in particular eToro has done it more than others. Don’t worry about security, trading apps are safe, and for your inexperience many of them offer a “demo.” Particularly if you are a beginner, eToro is the best choice to start with.
With athletes becoming more and more talented every day and new competitors rising to fame just as fast, it can be tricky to keep up with who’s considered the greatest in the world of sports. We’ve rounded up the absolute best of the best, so fans, fanatics and bettors can stay up to date with those dominating their fields. Whether you’re choosing acca bets for football or buying tickets for the most incredible matches in tennis, here are the best of the best in sports.
Golf – Dustin Johnson
The Official World Golf Ranking places American golfer Dustin Johnson in the top spot for the world’s best, having held the position for over 100 weeks. The 36-year-old has been one of the longest drivers on the PGA Tour, and is the third player in history to win tour titles in each of his first 13 seasons. Johnson has won 6 World Golf Championships, while also being the first golfer to win each of the 4 World Golf Championship Events.
Gymnastics – Simone Biles
With a world record of 25 championship medals, 23-year-old Simone Biles is currently considered the world’s best gymnast. The American athlete ranks number one in the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships table, with a phenomenal 19 gold medals to her name. Biles has won championships in floor exercise, vault and balance beam competitions, as well as being the sixth woman to win an individual all-round title at the Olympic Games.
Football – Lionel Messi
Argentinian player Lionel Messi is considered the world’s best footballer, currently playing forward for both Barcelona FC and Argentina’s national football team. Messi is in possession of numerous awards including The Best FIFA Men’s Player, UEFA Player of the Year and the European Golden Shoe, as well as having scored over 600 club goals in his career. The 33-year-old is the current holder of the Ballon d’Or award – a prestigious award given to the world’s best sports footballer, presented annually by French news magazine France Football.
Tennis – Novak Djokovic
Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic is currently ranked no 1. in men’s singles tennis, according to the Association of Tennis Professionals. Djokovic is a force to be reckoned with on the tennis court, with a grand slam singles total reaching an impressive 17 wins, the 33-year-old athlete has 5 Wimbledon, 3 US Open and 8 Australian Open titles to his name. In 2016, the tennis player became the 8th in history to achieve the Career Grand Slam after winning the French Open.
Snooker – Judd Trump
English snooker player Judd Trump is the current world number one in his sport, with a career total of 18 ranking titles. The 31-year-old secured his first ranking title at the 2011 China Open, being one of just 11 players to have won a career Triple Crown – a title which refers to winning the 3 most esteemed tournaments in professional snooker. Having won 6 ranking tournaments in the 2019-2020 season, Trump has set a new record of the most ranking titles in one season.
Why was there outrage in 2016 when Donald Trump won the U.S. election? It was because that was meant to be a controlled election, and Hillary was marked down as a definite win by the controllers. Of course, the Hillary campaign misjudged the massive support that Trump had and on the night, the red wave soaked everything clean of Hillary Clinton.
The controllers did not want the same thing to happen in 2020, so this time they had four years to eviscerate the opposition through a massive censorship and deplatforming drive. The controllers knew that Trump had a lot of supporters, so they effectively silenced these supporters online and offline. How can you have a democratic election in an echo chamber where the only voices are from the Democrat Party? Well, the controllers were not taking any chances, so they not only silenced the voice of the opposition but embarked on one of the largest voter fraud operations in history, thus halting counting in the night, so they could calculate how many Biden ballots should be shoehorned into the systems to supersede Trump.
Trump, in this context is irrelevant, he could have been replaced by Mickey Mouse, or Donald Duck and if the controllers wanted Hillary Clinton, they would have done the same thing. This also applies to the 2020 election, you could have had Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of God in opposition to Biden, and Jesus would have been made to lose.
The internet is certainly fixed, and only shows results from Democrat run debunking sites with the ‘ultimate truth’, or from socialist news media outlets approved by the controllers.
You only get positive news stories of Joe Biden on Google, and if you attempt to search for anything about Trump, all the news stories are negative, and only all from socialist leaning news sources. Everything else has been purged, or sugar coated, or buried on page 576,000 of the search result.
Facebook’s team of hate speech checkers or ‘election fact-checkers‘ are all left-leaning socialists who deem any form of conversation with a conservative as hate speech.
Twitter now labels anyone who questions anything as a denier of the truth and guilty of spreading misinformation. Anyone who is not a socialist Marxist is deemed as dangerous on the platform thus leading to their posts being suppressed, shadow-banned or outright complete bans are now the norm.
YouTube, another censorious black hole of absolute nonsense now bans and demonetizes anyone or anything that has a mind of its own with its own views. To not think and talk the same as all the other socialist conformist automatons is now a fucking crime. Individual thought is a hate crime according to YouTube controllers who just want a conformist hive mind where no one dares utter a single word that has not gone through rigorous PC processes and filters.
This is not only the future of the internet, it is now, and the elections that take place every four or so years apart might as well not be elections any more. Instead they are conformist shams where the result is chosen even before the first ballot is cast. Controlled elections in a land where there is no opposition apart from the controlled type, who conform without any form of debate or question.
In todayʼs artistic and intellectual environment of hypersensitive political correctness, it seems impossible to use the nude human body as a voice but Marisa found her way. She turns this cultural complexity into simplicity.
She calls her skin her superhero suit.

She uses our culture and our weak spot for beauty as a tool in a fight to restore the imbalances upon this earth. She challenges the mind and raises questions all over the world by emerging her body in the most controversial environments or on the opposite, the most natural wonders on this planet.
Even though she shook up the world when she shared the image of herself lounging, in a pure state of ease in front of the Western Wall, her main perspective is to inspire people with ideas and visions on a political, spiritual and philosophical level.
Marisa has an undying love for the earth and thatʼs where her ferocious spirit finds the power to speak up for those without a voice, animals and humans alike. Willing to put both body and mind at risk for this goal. She aims to create a lasting impact by showing the undeniable beauty of this planet.
Interview with Marisa Papen by Aur Esenbel (Editor – Daily Squib)
Aur Esenbel: Truly a pleasure and honour to interview you Marisa, thank you.
Marisa Papen: I thank you.
AE: You have so many facets; body expression as art encapsulating true human creative freedom, poetry, sculpture, activism. You convey an image of a living sculpture upon the landscape, and in situations that bring forth thought on truly global problems like plastics in the sea, and religious imprisonment. Do you flow with whatever direction you feel experimentally, or is your artistry meticulously planned for each project?
MP: You are a very kind soul. Thank you for the glorification, haha. There is a little bit of planning involved but not too much. I like to leave enough space for improvisation and for unplanned moments to unfold.
AE: As a woman, you have put yourself in some positions of great danger for that right nude photograph, especially in places like the Middle East. Which place, situation did you feel the most danger, and how did you get out of the situation pursuing your nude artistic freedom?
MP: How I usually get out… Unfortunately that involves telling some white lies. I wish I wouldn’t have to, but in these structures that are built around us, you sometimes have to if you think those structures should actually be torn down.
The most danger I experienced was during my arrest in Egypt. I was dragged around from the one police station to the other for the entire night – then they locked me up in a cell with a dozen other people, after a couple hours, they sent me to court, they decided to release me since there was no actual evidence of me being naked.
When they released me and I finally got back to my hotel room, I collapsed. I spent an hour laying on the floor, shedding tears of happiness, frustration and fear. An hour later I got up and stared myself straight in the mirror for maybe 10 minutes, I asked myself out loud, ‘why are you doing this? Is this worth it?!’ I guess it is… after Egypt followed Turkey, Israël and the Vatican.
AE: Why is it okay for an African tribeswoman to walk around nude in her village but not for a Western woman in her country? What does this say about our technologically superior society, and the underlying deep religious puritan foothold over our fundamental freedoms?
MP: I think overall our view on nudity is far from what it’s supposed to be. I don’t blame everything on religion, it’s also our education, our lost sense of sensibility for nature and ourselves, etc. Humanity needs a global course on how to exist – within a body – surrounded by people – in their environment.
Free your mind, the body will follow.
AE: Don’t want to sound like Borat, but I like bush as much as shaved. Have you ever gone the shaved route for any of your photography sessions? Obviously, the natural look is more natural looking, but it would be also revealing to see the shaved part of Marisa too. Truly nude – no cover. Speaking as a fan of course.
MP: I don’t think I ever fully shaved. Aesthetically I personally prefer having a little hair down there, and it also just feels more right. If there would be a project where this truly nude look would make total sense, I might consider it. I never say, never.
AE: Most educated people know that organised religions are a form of control, some would stipulate the ultimate control system for thousands of years. Many are awakening to the human created control systems today, and this brings us to the question. Your nude body cuts through religious control like a knife. Are you the ultimate weapon against the trickery the religious controllers have used against humanity for so long?
MP: I wouldn’t use the word weapon, sounds kind of loaded, literally.
I do believe that art has the capacity to evoke great change.
AE: You have focused on organised religion, but political ideologies and parties are also a form of religion. Communism itself is a religion, as the slave proletariat masses are forced to worship their party and leader. Would you ever consider confronting this form of control as well, or would the totalitarian states be way too dangerous? Can’t imagine you getting far in North Korea, but the Great Wall of China could be a possibility.

MP: Recently I removed myself a little bit from walking the path of confrontation. So no Great Wall or North Korea in the near future. Currently, I’m focussing on my non-profit Earth Family. I just released the 2021 Calendar. I’m also working on a series of children’s books that will touch upon social taboos in the form of sweet stories that are filled with peace, hope and love.
AE: You have been unjustly banned from all social media sites. Unfortunately this is a symptom of our freedoms being eroded by Big Tech companies and their cancel culture soviet nature that cannot even define art from pornography. I wrote an article about Helmut Newton and put up some examples of his art, which was banned as well. Now that you are on Patreon, please can you tell our viewers what they can expect if they join?
MP: I share the process of my creations, my day-to-day life, sometimes my thoughts, obviously my works, and sometimes I have short conversations with my patrons as well.
I love asking for their opinion too. I’m incredibly grateful for all my patrons, they sustain my creations and I feel immensely loved and encouraged daily. Thank you again, my friends!
AE: Thank you so much for letting me interview you.
What is the price of dignity? What is the price of selling out your own deceased mother for profit? It seems none of these issues concern Harry and his money grabbing wife seeing as they signed up to a sell-out Netflix deal themselves.
The Netflix program The Crown’s latest series effectively portrays the royal family as callous beasts, and Princess Diana as a mentally ill child coerced to marry Prince Charles, portrayed as a philandering self-obsessed monster with no feelings for his new bride. Much of this is supposedly fictitious, however many Americans who will view the show will see it as a biographical factual representation of the British royal family.
Harry and Meghan left Britain according to their ‘need for privacy’, and yet, here they are selling off their so-called ‘privacy‘ for bundles of money. Is this not hypocrisy on a grand scale? One could easily postulate that privacy was the least of their concerns, and selling off their royal status to make loads of money off the back of the Windsor name was more in tune to the truth.
The low morals of Harry and Meghan do not befit royalty in any manner, and if the Queen had any gumption left in her right now she should take away the Sussex titles as well. Why should the county of Sussex be besmirched in such a manner anyway?
One can only wait in abject horror on what repulsive nonsense Netflix will reveal in the Harry and Meghan series to be aired soon.
As for poor old Diana stuck in a grave on an island inhabited by black swans on the Spencer estate, she must be rolling around in it at about 1000 RPM.
The “UNCANCEL COLLECTION” is available online between November 24th and December 15th, and starts already with thousands of articles and with space for more brands to join in. The organisation hopes that other events and brands will join this campaign, which aims to help those who need it most in these dark times that the industry is experiencing, and where hunger is already a reality for many of them. All proceeds will later be converted into food cards distributed through União Audiovisual.

In 2016, the tennis player became the 8th in history to achieve the Career Grand Slam after winning the French Open.
English snooker player Judd Trump is the current world number one in his sport, with a career total of 18 ranking titles. The 31-year-old secured his first ranking title at the 2011 China Open, being one of just 11 players to have won a career Triple Crown – a title which refers to winning the 3 most esteemed tournaments in professional snooker. Having won 6 ranking tournaments in the 2019-2020 season, Trump has set a new record of the most ranking titles in one season.
AE: You have so many facets; body expression as art encapsulating true human creative freedom, poetry, sculpture, activism. You convey an image of a living sculpture upon the landscape, and in situations that bring forth thought on truly global problems like plastics in the sea, and religious imprisonment. Do you flow with whatever direction you feel experimentally, or is your artistry meticulously planned for each project?
