can ease mannus island services were cut when the camp closed on tuesday those were the headlines we're back with more news in half an hour digital dissidence is next . at the moment we are in

a state of universally deception i took an oath to support on the constitution and on taking notes fortified us a good start and did something that was important and was roic act to call these people super heroes it is not so good because it should fill up. for some people they are super heroes for others simply traitors whistleblowers like daniel ellsberg thomas drake william binney and would snowden. hackers and activists like the wiki leaks founder julian assange and the former british secret service agent an emotional they want to support the complete surveillance of our society they oppose intelligence agencies governments and corporations and for this they are threatened hounded and imprisoned. why are they so committed to what drives. us.

to. san francisco california. the cradle of our modern day. puter industry home to creative technicians and visionaries hackers and whistleblowers. in a suburb of san francisco lives the godfather of all whistleblowers. daniel ellsberg . and probably the only whistleblower that i know of who can make a living as a lecture because i'm the one who was put on trial for a hundred fifteen years on the one who isn't involved in the president being resigning because of his crimes against me so he made me notorious enough. that i can make a living here who literally. studied economics science at harvard in the one nine

hundred fifty s. after graduating he enrolled like many fellow whistleblowers in the military. and of. you she courage fear all around you of a conventional sure high courage you've been trained for you've been disciplined for but you sheer it happens you have the training works and people are risking their bodies and their life. every minute. at the end of the one nine hundred sixty s. ellsberg worked at the u.s. embassy in vietnam. he became known by publishing the secret pentagon papers which proved that the us president had lied to the american public about the vietnam war for years. ellsberg decided to make the documents public after meeting peace activists who had

refused the draft. i would not have thought of doing it if i didn't have the example of many many people . who are going to prison for nonviolent resistance to the craft. in one nine hundred sixty nine ellsberg began smuggling parts of the pentagon papers out of the government agency he worked for and copy them over the following months. a total of seven thousand pages of secret documents. in march one nine hundred seventy one he passed the documents to the new york times who eventually printed them. ellsberg surrendered himself and was charged with theft and unauthorized possession of pentagon material. the trial collapsed when it came to light that nixon and illegally wiretapped

ellsberg. and agents had broken into his psychiatry ists office. ellsberg thereafter remained a free man. if they arrest me or indict me then i will say it was only me. patricia day next to me to cooperate. if something happens and she i couldn't figure out why she wasn't indicted by the way because she had don't want to copy. her free card her fragrance filled the paper or here i thought it was because she didn't want such a beautiful woman sitting next to me at the defense table in front of the jury. i would advise people now not to do what i did to reveal themselves if they can

avoid it. i reveal myself for this same reason no doubt. essentially we knew that other people would be suspected and maybe even charged with cancer consentual evidence against. people who might look more more guilty than you did. in a way i would rather take the risks of democracy than the risks or should. mr daniel ellsberg. we have a third analyst who will be joining us from russia one of the one of my

real heroes and i think many people in this room many people in the hacker community many people in america. edward snowden welcome. thank you. more than forty years after daniel ellsberg n.s.a. employee edward snowden emerges as a whistleblower the usa now has a new public enemy number one. thanks to manning and now to you i'm getting more favorable publicity. in forty years already have. because suddenly people who were all for putting me in prison for life before now realize that i was really a very good guy i was the. i was the good whistleblower and so i'm i'm totally of course i rejected this from the beginning that i didn't want to be a foil for. showing a badly to people that i totally admired there was

a moment of hope x. the hope x. conference in july in new york city. ellsberg was having a live conversation with snowden we have a front as america and its members of the global community and know the broad outlines of blocking policies that have a significant impact on our lives and i think that's something that tom grant showed me how to do the right way. there was a moment where he said. very clearly very distinctly that i showed him the right way. i had always hope that it's now become a law. thomas drake served during the cold war in europe in the one nine hundred eighty s. with the u.s. air force which included work as a signals analyst on spy planes hoovering the soviet union so my day job is

a reconnaissance orbiter country. and they're right by the way was the computers. this was it was a vast a world that you're now you you know you ball is virtually zero very quickly you have these old morris dial you know chaos computer. got over all that. in the one nine hundred ninety s. drake worked as a software developer for the cia in september two thousand and one he was hired as a senior analyst by the n.s.a. . my first ever job as nine eleven we were working on you know sixteen eighteen hour days i mean it was that those four months after nine eleven are a blur because as it was just. your network we recognized that this was a significant event in history.

whatever you got in a fight whatever you got the labs we need it whatever tools you can use to prosecute those behind. nine eleven do it. i was selected as the designated senior executive and say the lead up that effort to find anything we had to fight and so i did and that's where i brought to the attention of others tools techniques programs things are in the lab things are pilots things that are being dissed testbed the mantra that went out from n.s.a. by general hayden he kept going around saying we just need to make americans feel safe again feel safe even out banners. and i discovered during those first couple three weeks after nine eleven all this information that we as you imagine was pouring in after nine eleven literally being use to monitor and survey l. and intercept u.s.

domestic communications on an extraordinarily broad scale. i was finding this out within days of nine eleven and others were coming to me saying what are we doing top. among the snowden documents were figures for the u.s. secret service budget. since september eleventh they supposedly doubled by twenty five billion to fifty two billion u.s. dollars in two thousand and thirteen. the surveillance programs continued to metastasize they continue expand it in ways that still have not been fully revealed. and this became sort of the collect all mindset mentality what does that lead to well yes you. you have these other interesting arrangements with certain internet providers and telecommunication concerns it's a temptation is are enormous and it's like

a you know give us access or back in or open it up and that's what happened i mean and now you're seeing a lot of this unfold. the national security agency n.s.a. for short the largest foreign intelligence agency in the usa has been responsible for the worldwide monitoring of electronic communications since one thousand nine hundred fifty two. some of the thirty five thousand employees weren't comfortable with the massive expansion of surveillance in september eleventh. all of the colleagues that i knew which was just a handful bill binnie ed loomis kirk we chose to retire from the n.s.a. . and late october two thousand and one they realize what was happening they could not stand by and see the subversion of the constitution and all the work that they had done being used for mass surveillance they left the agency i begged them to

stay i chose to remain and fight from with it as long as i could i got mad at them you know so i my my objective was that counterattack i don't believe in defense you know just sitting back and being defensive i mean you have to get out there and attack so that's what i started doing that was my point it's time to attack so basically was a declaration of war. against my government. william binney mathematician and programmer initially worked for the n.s.a. as an analyst then later as the technical director of the secret service. as the boss of a six thousand strong team he developed a wiretap program that anonymously filtered and processed large volumes of data. by trying to do the the right thing right after nine eleven trying to make

a contribution that would make a difference they refused to accept it so it was basically blocked that there was nothing i could do they would accept nothing from me the n.s.a. director has decided against the program from vinny's team and opted for another they collected much more data. the problem is i helped in designing the system that's and use. because i knew what was possible once they started using those programs and opening it up to massive data input on everybody in the planet so it was pretty clear that it was obvious to me how they were using it and what they're doing with it so i mean because i understood the design of the systems. and so after that when they started spying on us citizens violating the constitution i had to leave i couldn't be a part of all the criminal activity that was going on and that's fundamentally i call that treason against the country so i got out at the end of october following

day two thousand one. one year later binney submitted a complaint to the u.s. defense department for wasting state funds the complaint was examined but had no effect the patriot bill binney became a combative whistleblower a role model for many today. this is his friend came here intelligence in tears you know two thousand and fifty two. only here he says the path to the side that you let me clear this race like two hundred and it's no use to tell you this integrity is for you see. this is yours and i was assistant to your television so worse of you. so thank you

though. i knew every major leader in this a general hayden personally and i have to say that i have met more people with true will take pretty character since i left. while binney opted out of the system his colleague thomas drake fought against the violation of civil rights from within the n.s.a. . my new for the moment i stood up to my own supervisor and i went to her and said what are we doing violating the prime directive to cannot spy on americans our war you don't understand. i confronted my boss i go to the o. the office general counsel i confront him. and then he says don't ask any more questions. now you're faced with a dilemma i didn't give the order i'm not the one that was implementing the survey

of the master valence program the digital dragnet what do you do i chose to poke the whistle. but how do you do that knowing there's a master valence program and knowing the n.s.a. was targeting targeting journalists. i made arrangements an encrypted form to communicate. honestly with this reporter. then i made a decision that i would meet the reporter. that was in february of two thousand and seven. the journalist subsequently published a number of articles about the waste and mismanagement of the n.s.a.

the repercussions were enormous but the n.s.a. let the attacks come to nothing as drake did not prove the central part of his criticism with documents. this tactic suddenly stopped working in two thousand and thirteen. edward snowden's material that stuff he took out made it absolutely impossible for them to deny what they were doing because it simply laid out in their terms on their slides what they were doing and it was impossible for them to deny it. so i don't think mr snowden was a patriot. the way in which these disclosures happened have been. have been damaging to be united states and damaging to our intelligence capabilities. people ask if i see it is the patriot or traitor you know that's the headline in all these things edward snowden patriot or that drives me nuts the very thought you know that people could regard it was

a traitor we will likely. face is the cost in human lives on tomorrow's battlefield or in in some in some some place where where we will put our military forces you know when we ask them to go into harm's way and i think that's that's the greatest cost that we face with the disclosures that have that have been presented so far you know who was the one person in the n.s.a. who did what he absolutely should have done how many people should have done what you did. what snowden is revealing is a global trip to the tension for democracy and he. being a patriot doesn't rule you know obedience to authority. putting aside your obligations to your people to your country for the benefit of your

government because the. it isn't. until the revelations by edward snowden the warnings of intelligence agency critics were always shrugged off a speculation only after he had published all the original and it's a documents was there proof and concrete evidence provided for the first time. documents all the difference it is more risky to do that it also makes all the difference in terms of political effect snow manning and i gave the documents less than one percent of the starting documents have been published that's terrible. it's a terrible thing those documents do not belong to a journalist they do not belong to it but so far they do not belong to the national security agency they belong to history they are part of something that humanity has

gone through every single one of us have been has been a victim of national security agency spying all human beings who use the internet are victims of it and the victims deserve to know what has happened to them. i think the opportunity is in producing a very broad global outrage about what has happened in every country and informing all the victims of that surveillance about what is actually happening to them and releasing enough documents so that all the technical industries. hackers and computer programmers can think of and other governments can work out how to

protect them so. julian assange hacker and journalist was interested in computer programming from an early age as a teenager he had already hacked into foreign data systems and military networks later he studied physics and mathematics in melbourne in two thousand and six he founded the whistle blowing website wiki leaks which publishes secret documents of governments intelligence agencies and corporations kind of ellsberg was an insider and snowden was an insider. would say that i was never in side up. i was. inside. you know tray and intelligence and big companies. as a computer hacker and later as an alibi analyst analyzing them material. so i had it set it came sense for what they were about that i never had to fear that one should work for these organizations. the people who were in the u.s.

national security system it was like their own drug. drug that made them powerful because there were groups that had a lot of power and that system has a way of talking about how the world works and how the united states empire is a good thing and i can take a long time towards that drug out of the system i don't know it's because nearly entirely works that out of his system but the more recent was a blow as they still have perhaps some way to go the only difference i have from the charges i think the only view is i think that he probably believes more in the value of total truth or near total transparency tonight because.

fun for you it's i'm going to kind of dog in afghanistan in fact i also have afghanistan's entry this just as a rhetorical counterattack just like something out of kandahar just to say no no no you do that. and. unfortunately the us press is sort of. so vile that it pretty prince this nonsense so what he reads reveals very concretely very strong accurate documentation how the us is our own records shows that it was involved in one way or another in the deaths of more than one hundred twenty thousand people in iraq and afghanistan between two thousand and four and two thousand and ten. and the u.s. government's response is maybe hypothetically as a result of this release of this material some afghan family or u.s. soldier. could face risks that's the standard accusation or like what tom drake did

threaten military lives exposing corruption fraud waste and abuse doesn't threaten military lives continuing then threatens military lives now the end result is that they are forced to admit last year on the earth that a single person had been harmed as a result of a public relations. sons demand the protection of individual privacy on the one hand and on the other radical transparency of governments and corporations but one of the motives of whistleblowers why do intelligence insiders step forward into the light risking their careers their lives to expose the wrongdoings of those in power. is there

a common name a collective mission of this broad alliance and wild mix of patriotic it secret service agents and archaic hackers cyberpunks and intellectual publicists. the common theme with among all of us is that we support human rights and that we support the public's right to know information and especially when it threatens the public or threatens the democracy or freedom of individuals i mean that's the kind of common theme that goes through all of it i think but it's a lonely act that you come it as one person but i was convicted by the truth of what i knew so i made a conscious choice to yes violate a nondisclosure agreement and we also took the oath to protect and defend the constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic so that means even our

government if it's violating the constitution so we have we have to be sponsibility to stand up against that it's the moral agency you're confronted by activity that demands a response. and you're in a pipe a swear you have access to information you have access your eye witness series such an eyewitness or you or you were brought into awareness. five must make what you had to have this missive going past him. when he's been off that mind i'm just monday's contest a scottish divines initiative under suspension what events on this. then. my fondest bits and then but of tons. of done on site this does. have an advantage. so all of sudden bosses wouldn't need someone to fuck.

off and mention the fed it is recently. this is going for from. the. high profile leaks we fun fun fun mending friends no. fun but this kind of. this is absolute no definition and i know steve music will have always just i mean. to call these people superheroes is not good because you. know they get it i admire that but fear me i'm not a superhero who thinks of themselves as a superhero me not you know we're sixteen year old. dream you know. if you get your excuse for not doing it it doesn't take a shipper here and these people none of these people were going to turn to. michael in the fog it was no wouldn't it is the name be on to a. few months to

a month on clothes and most of whom this is. often. becomes act you know who become to be annoying because of us and we could put in who becomes the end of the on the inside thing was when we had our first date this all. fifty push it's own somebody's khana in space on the do it's of interest because that's all in all though that's because in the in the chilly here it was no didn't go into it on the at least seem to be in. thirty eight the same ve in. the same the. time this is kept out of what i see when was it was no didn't and it's not in this i'm getting seen he months we'd be snowed in or does it seem monday julian that it's misty to be interested in emily coming to tony's top of the top officer vowed not to let this be a nation. that is not tradition to have to the consequence of events.

then you still have no if someone dies if they think not to trust the up this with the best is about does a slow down a t.v. . when done with conflict kids design does testify to the picking of what so ever on this must a new pledge to ensure fact that doesn't mean we have a new mindset to most this tour. each democracy punch which he executive branch in each country whether it's going to be democratic or not knowing every see the private lives of all of their citizens religious leaders their journalists their judges and their ordinary people

could be turned into its forms. with those people knowing almost nothing about the government the government be ok with sugar too and the people being transparent you guys this is the most ridiculous i've ever seen you know you sure everybody in the country and everybody in the world you're not an invalid. and so your secret. if you don't have prissy in your communications you can't guarantee they can hold a telephone conversation or rational mellow view stuff from the internet or read books and once that is known to the authorities and it can you begin to self censor what you say and what you read. and immersion is a former agent of the british national intelligence agency m i five. even going to withdraw a little bit feel normal life because you're told you can't mention your being a christian by five and that means that people tend to focus much more on their life within and i thought i'd say begin to socialize

a lot more with other people there because you can talk that stuff. and also you end up mainly in the relationships with your fellow intelligence officers it's how i met my former partner and colleague david shayler. when schiller made the illegal practices of the intelligence service public and supported him in becoming a whistleblower. in one thousand nine hundred seventy shortly before the publication of the secret documents the couple flew to france. they went underground for a year and subsequently lived in paris for to use in two thousand they returned to london or went to prison. was spared since then she fights for government accountability and campaigns for the rights of whistleblowers when david shayler and i ended up going on the run after the whistle on a series of crimes for my five. we were very conscious of exactly how they could be termed here as an investigator years so where every week. thought well the

telephone might be compromised the computer might be completely honest there might be microphones in where we were living there might be little video cameras recording what we did and also people might be turned to report against us so there are all these different techniques that they can use and this is way back in the ninety's and love year so even at that point when we were on the run for my life i've crossed europe we use the only sure fire way that we're here to communicate to each other securely which was to put a piece of glass or ceramic on a surface and put one sheet of paper on it and then you cover it so that nothing can read what you write in the paper you don't say anything you just write what you want on the piece of paper and then you allow the other person to read that message so there's no order there can be no video and there could be no imprint under that one piece of paper then of course you have to get rid of that piece of paper so you have to burn it out polarize the ashes and the cost it to the winds or to actually

start anew because we know that our computers our telephones all of that can be compromised the video can be switched on maybe the audit commiseration maybe they can log what we write on the keyboard they can even and this comes from the snowden disclosures they can even use my queries apparently to beam into the screen and read what you're typing. we live in a digital world where little remains unseen turning privacy into another luxury good. bleak science fiction visions of a powerful surveillance apparatus with seemingly endless technical possibilities.

now only seems a question of time how does this change our behavior if every move we make every word we say is recorded and analyzed which roles will we have to play and whose writing script. having lived with that sense of endemic surveillance i can tell you it's a corrosive to human spirit so once you lose that sense prissy and you start to self censor you start to be an effective and fully integrated system of that country supremacy in my view is the last defense against a slide towards a police state or to tell us how innocent if you let go of your rights from moment you've lost them for a lifetime and that's why this matters is because it happened and we didn't know me or told.

us you say you have nothing to hide see and nothing to worry about i have nothing to fear your hero language ok fine church. yes well just give me your keys yes car rental car rather read of this is yes you have your purpose do you use the other two you know. do you have facebook or give me your passwords do you have medical records trying to goes over to me to oh by the way all those bank accounts and often records you just give me for safe keeping you have independent courts can you have any independent press. none of the n.s.a. now has the potential to know every source of every journalist of every story. following the e-mails following the phones following the people with their g.p.s.

with their with their rifle. to say this is. the op this year here and and i'm asked it of all hong. talking start and they are the masters or the general is not about to ground it's not about to ring me it's about surveillance us. it's about watching the company for everybody in the country and on a global scale. in harsh contrast to the recently emerged facts great public outcry has not yet been heard. now why don't people care in the u.k.

it's a very easy answer partly it's cultural because he's still in love with james bond and our political leaders immediately came out in defense of the intelligence agencies saying we know what they do they follow the law everyone go back to sleep don't worry so the train you sit in the u.k. and it wasn't i think in as i said usa brazil and germany but it's amazing how quickly people forget. in this and this does my message out as. important to mix my interest on the endorsement because what it's about as a nation i don't think anyone dozens of them. put on so close to me in bushland. t.v. nixon burger. king in that. when

it became known in autumn two thousand and thirteen that the private cell phone of german chancellor angela merkel was tapped by the n.s.a. the public outcry in germany was initially large until then the german american friendship had been close and germany believed to be an equal partner the united states. the friends spine and friends of course they do it everybody does next i mean we caught the israelis spying on us several times what did that do to our relationship but not really anything because we know everybody does that ok if you're a leader of a country in the world you're a target everybody wants to know what you're thinking so you are a target friends and foes right everybody's looking to see or trying to find out what you're thinking universally true i mean that's that's why diplomacy was started right back and thousands of years ago so so i mean it's nothing new

chancellor merkel when she found out as to her private phone was being tapped i mean she should have and understood that from the beginning i mean there and her security should have told her that from the beginning and given her some protection since all the leaders understood it the fact that it's exposed you have to object maybe publicly but in reality afterward you the relationship is too important to jeopardize just for a simple thing that you already knew was happening. as a hypnotist and i know of this dimension. this into this year that in different states in fairness there will be key leaks it's the n.s.a. affair the. hill flops. or two on muzzle ha's and who seek. to lie just over school good. kind on the mukesh cuts on the getting votes again doesn't the biffo government to only give us a visit that's only but my. problem

in relation to both surveillance is exactly the same as the problem of global warming it's not going to say it's not at all effect here right now individually why is global warming interested in your unwise and i say interesting you call it a warming affects everyone because in general changing things folks violence affects everyone because it leads to a general change in the nature of say oh i say should quite

a warming is invisible. impenetrable you only kind of glimpse maybe today was a bit harder i don't know like when students. similarly massive surveillance is invisible it's conducted these points that connect continents together or by the n.s.a. staking its fangs into google. and these are extremely thorough physical and complex technologies that everyone except specialists does not understand specialists understand that and saying everyone else my god can you see what's happening simulate relation to greenhouse gas as climate scientists understand it saying my god can you see what's happening in the case of. climate science well there's a counter lobby which is the fossil fuel companies and all those profiting from that in the case of box of violence there's the silence industry and intelligence agencies and so on and all those who are sucking down that information and profit
