"He (Assange) put out information people didn't want being put out but it was all truthful and I don't know how you fault a guy for putting out the truth."
There’s good news and then there’s great news and today’s announcement, that the 11x world surf champion Kelly Slater will be narrating parts of new Julian Assange documentary THE TRUST FALL, is absolutely fabulous news. News worth mixing a fussy French 75 and hoisting it to the sky whilst saying “huzzah!”
Per the press release:
We are stoked to announce that 11 time world champion surfer Kelly Slater will be doing some narration for The TRUST FALL: Julian Assange – Documentary!
There are very few celebrities who have brave enough to speak out on Julian’s behalf, such is the strong adherence to the establishment amongst A-Listers. No-one wants to be black-listed or excluded, so conformity is the modus operandi of the vast majority of high profile people.
Slater is one of the few celebrities who has been willing to voice his support for Julian, as revealed in an instagram video in March this year where Slater stated:
“He (Assange) put out information people didn’t want being put out but it was all truthful and I don’t know how you fault a guy for putting out the truth”.
Slater will join our celebrity narrating team along with legendary rockers Roger Waters and U.K. rapper M.I.A. plus Aussie voice-over artist Jonathan Oldham.
Having a professional surfer sportsperson may seem like a strange choice for a political film, however please bear in mind that this film aims to educate a very wide audience about the important issues surrounding the Assange predicament, and one of the best ways to reach a wider audience is through role models and people with a large following and fan base who might otherwise never take the time to watch a political film. So this is a strategic move and somewhat of a marketing move to have the involvement of people from a variety of walks of life.
The project is now nearing completion, however there are some crucial steps remaining before we can do the worldwide cinema release include making the all-important final trailer, additional colour and sound grading, making a website, translating the film into many different languages, having the film classified, and entering the film into festivals in order to obtain distributers to help with the theatrical release.
Thoughts?
Me?
Oh.
As a surf journalist, I was always surprised that the public, celebrities included, hated on Assange which, I suppose, means I stand with Slater.

That is a huge part of all that is wrong with America and it’s people.
The old saying, ‘The truth shall prevail’ comes to mind. People world-wide would be more aware and knowledgeable if they knew all the sordid details of this illegal, ugly persecution against peace promoting, truth telling Assange. #FreeAssange
Fucken hell. Roomba has seen me wank to so much golf then.
Xox
But how will he play the product placement game here, and sneak a $455 dollar blanket flannel and a pair of turtle sandals into this film? In all seriousness, on this stunt, I’m with him.
When does he start “How the Sausage was Made: The Truth About Elo and the WSL “?…
at least one movie set backdrop should include a pink flying pig, a number 11 surf jersey, and a rap about killing cops amid a goFund pledge…where would all the money go?
Haha, the CUNT previously known as the GOAT educating anyone on anything but surfing is hilarious.
He’d fit right in.
Oh well. I feel bad for the state of your once great country xox
I’ll listen to it later
You know who else puts out the truth? Chas Smith.
Slater needs to retire from the tour and get an education
I like to sprinkle Assange cheese on soups, salads, breads etc…
then ayahuasca and an old type writer…or an acoustic someting
Kym Staton, a guy with a girlie name whose claim to fame prior was founding the Sydney Vegan Club, is behind this anti-American propaganda.
This project glorifies a high-tech terrorist, an amoral egomaniac harboring pretenses of being a journalist, and yet who has a 3rd grader’s understanding of the 1st Amendment.
And of course the usual suspects, the Communist intelligentsia, have urged Assange’s release: The Guardian, The New York Times, Le Monde, Der Spiegel and El País.
I’ll pass.
essential. later. party. Pete?
Yes! Free Assange!
and release the hounds…in a good way.
So you fell for Pompeo’s label of High Tech Terrorist, how’s your employment in the CIA treating you? I find it pathetically sad that they were ratted out by over 30 government intelligence officials. They gave details that would make your skin crawl unless you were watching a fiction spy movie.
There is currently THREE lawsuits against holy roller Pompeo, above the law as he ignored the subpoena by the Judge in Spain who has the David Morales/UC Global Security case’s files including the one recently uncovered labeled CIA as he earned money from billionaire Sheldon Adelson for spying on Assange in the embassy, his lawyers, journalists and doctors. The lovely Pompeo along with Bloody Gina also planned poisoning, kidnapping and murdering Assange because the leak, Vault 7, was the biggest embarrassment in CIA history of their covert black torture sites, spying on other government officials, and more illegal criminalities.
Play dirty much? Who is the REAL terrorist?
Do Americans in general know the fucked up shit that he exposed?
Americans in general are ignorant goofs who don’t even know what the three branches of government are, much less what any of them have been up to. (source: am American)
Travelling there those in the know would apologise for the ways of their fellow Americans. Xox
As a fellow American, I agree completely. On the other hand, the 3 branches of our federal government have all snapped.
Just what did he expose? Our whole deal is that we do the least amount of fucked up shit as global hedgemons.
It’s pretty mental. I’d suggest having a little look into his work. Xox
Alot of American people couldn’t perceive how fucked up the shit he exposed is. I wouldn’t have believed it when I saw it, but even Collateral Murder could look like a movie or video game or fair enough in the fog of war to some people out there. I challenge some of the crew here to watch it and share their thoughts. It is a fucking nightmare.
The truth shall set you free
Well I guess that means at least his soul will be free. Thanks to Jebus.
So looking forward
To how Kelly weaves himself
Into the story
I guess through the fact
That both Kelly and Assange
Biblically know Pam
tres hombres amore’
door flies open…
Pam goes in
Kelly checks out!
KellyLeaks
It’s perfectly clear. Slater is starting a Rebel Tour and this is his opening message to Dirk Ziff.
If Kelly is a true supporter of WikiLeaks he should leak the WSLs reasoning for sacking Elo
Now we’re talking.
Too scared of Guantanamo
the right board has yet to be designed!
I got a great idea kel, get involved with anonymous and start sending classified docs around and see what happens.
That obama missus is a mr was the clincher

I accidentally just stifled free speech by changing the URL slug, thereby accidentally deleting all comments. Sorry.
To woozl means never having to say you’re sorry.
I should have just SUP’d out to Manhattan Beach and yelled, “I’m back, baby!”
the fact you’re not doing this upsets me a wee bit
You just gave me an idea.
Oh fuck.

Grow a goatee and throw on a pair of glasses, you could pass for ELo.

I’ll lend you one I know you won’t sully your hands by keeping one in your garage!
You currently laying low at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London?

They’re both narcissistic blowhards who think they’re smart because they reflexively reject any majority opinion.
