a patriot doesn't mean you know obedience to authority. putting aside your obligations to your people to your country for the benefit of your government because the office he creates is not. where she needs of eagles very concretely. streaming after documentation out of the u.s. his 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. we will likely. face is the cost in human lives on tomorrow's battlefield or in in some in some

some place where we will put our military forces the end result as it all falls within it last year on the earth for the single person had been as a result of a book while. if you like all the rights for a moment you lost a lot of time and that's why this matters is because it happened and we didn't know what we were told. some people there superheroes others simply truth whose was. blowers like daniel ellsberg thomas drake william binney and edward snowden. hackers and activists like the wiki leaks founder julian assange and the former british secret service agent an emotional they warn us about 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 what drives them.

the intelligence services enough the only ones monitoring communications and processing massive data. also private corporations like google amazon facebook and apple collect millions of pieces of information about us to analyze and monetize. tax i think is a self sort that's not on sacked that i am a person mentioned data center washed off this i don't since they want it's this

earth and nine v.h.f. and a slick not a sit down or stuff tiger suit us all school had to be honest. we don't really know what exactly happens with their own digital trails our data is transferred invisibly to huge data centers. sublimating into a complex new identity creating our digital self. he gets a lot of votes i think the smith fish does this kind of a human at the end of it doesn't make it so many of them thought into this you see if you give that soft voice of the bus start with the line that you had forgotten before you know it's off the cells for the want and the it's not one for the finished ima feed so much money that is close to an f two but it is a consideration so not for any of the shots it's asean everyone gets smarter

because of this technology because it's free or very inexpensive and the empowerment of people is the secret to technological progress. we are all participating in this enormous transition where billions of people are joining our party or joining our fun in joining our anxiety. in this night and who to michelle with and who to balance individualism and shots i modify how it always starts in noir put looked at some of them given new developments in a machine intelligence will make us far far smarter as a result and this means everyone on the planet genetics revolution has a huge and positive impact on the way we'll treat disease progression disease and so and so on it's all basically because these smartphones are really super computers.

and it gun something from dot you just telephone not just me or does this is who got him going to how many needs to and i'm from no one's a smartphone into who wasn't tosh i have. been g.p.s. nice man in love will be a saint has asked me how my dance into was and touching my mittens. with the advent of the smartphone we have become even more visible. so early i was pleased by for you and it's not just i phones that i lost my phone i mean most small phones all these days smartphones capture a communication behavior along when where and with whom we talk. apps collect data about our user behavior even our health data in addition many people use

digital data storage like clouds carelessly handing over their information all of our communities. are being intercepted analyzed and stored automatically and that means that all of our years or russians are associated and who we talk to who me who we hate. as the old internet saying goes if it's for free and you are the product because the use of all those convenient digital online services are only seemingly for free because we pay with our data. we have neither inside nor overview about our digital self and absolutely no possibility to actively control it.

then put somebody stole online as a c have a committee and then. ended about as they missed best dismissed so then you've got to spit sublist and you know it's an industry seeking v.h.f. making b.s. on cannot decide which of the he'll be at is that suppose on capitol hill in fit it in internet gun. this will be missed this is a few women get to see some guys have been up to date up brokerage the size consequently fancy dress to stand on hand feel see under a few mit rush but sizable beacon says highest and allow him to quit says a hint accordions browser smit the hidden tustin talked in z m lauzon for it was often alpha victim cow off site went that's. so it's better than i was vietnam estimate you can watch passions all owned by speed size of yet often cited if

you're off to ben i was very informed unlike you didn't think the last test of been watson and two hundred fifty rushed us to been would soon come under hostile explicit seem to see feel like misunderstood bit since the smashed and i'll go it's most unprofessional so far going on via even decent looks persecutes will get now too much of the kind committed to point out. the data we create assembling our digital self is also of interest is a juicy source of information for the intelligence community. so quickly it is now being put placed on you. networks infrastructure like trying to get a structure. tapping straight in enabled by critical partnerships before senate which have still not been revealed to this day not even for the snow disclosures eighteen t.

for aizen and a number of others but that's where it started with the phone companies ok it was it was rapidly expanded to include e-mails and all related information internet usage and all related from asian and financial transactions. the revelations by edward snowden provide detailed insight into the relationship between intelligence services and private companies. telephone metadata and web browsing histories of great interest to the intelligence community. see that's really industrial relations. they were tapping the fiber lines between the google servers. they didn't even know this is going on google the dot ok so i mean that's the point they can tap lines anywhere in the world and when they do that they can get it between the servers of any but any company. from my

perspective i think it's in massive collusion between the big corporations and big government you know with. the military security complex they have agreements between them where they will pay money for data if they produce data for n.s.a. or they will also pay for access and like for example the the room in the eighteenth the facility in san francisco that has the n.s.a. . it's the n.s.a. room that has the tappan on an hourly fee data and it's really eighteen t. that has them maintain that room facebook is evil in my view have been saying as he is it's the spies wet dream it does real for up all information and it's just there on a plate for the spies to access and we know they do you through back doors and things and yet that's a defamation is taken weeks or months together we're going into digital they extend would google of information a google has is nothing near what n.s.a. does for example they do not have they have access to the emails if it's they're

using g. mail for example but not all the other service providers and they don't so they don't have that data to do a composite view of what people are doing nor do they have access to all the fiber optic lines around the world nor do they see the banking transactions or the financial transactions or all the phone calls they don't see that sort of vast amount of information that google does not have. so that's something that is leading to increasing concentrations of power and you get some straw people these are companies and then these contracts to the national security sector as contractors. so the creative viber. see. market capitalism is where i'm

concerned about. many of the companies concerned reacted immediately to the snowden revelations they proclaim and advertise seemingly tap proof mobile phones and texting services followed by public announcements pleading that they will no longer put up with the pressure of the intelligence services. the way in which the technology companies have reacted in the waiting list. leaks means that the level of cooperation between technology companies and and intelligence agencies has gone down and that's that's that's added to the threat in some ways.

it would be slightly bizarre if all the advances in technology in the use of bulk data analysis which are improving. the performance of business improving the health care. delivery and so on somehow national security was allowed to use and. it's not as if the more secure you get the less privacy you have all the more privacy you have the less security you have these you know in a free society like we joy in the west. your freedoms are guaranteed by security and so the job of western governments is to find the optimal levels of privacy and security supposed to maximize. as a consequence of the september eleventh attacks the technical capabilities of the intelligence services were massively expanded international collaboration of national spy organizations was also intensified. not always without friction and

problems they have similar aims like combating international terrorism they get the listen in on one another. after when nine eleven hit there was this perspective that germany had had screwed up that the security services crude up that they had harbored terrorists. you have the cells and homburg. you have a number of the hijackers. transited through live there play in there. it was a significant cell there's no question about that and there's a whole history behind it and i think i think as i said i said this even publicly said this in terms of the testimony for the bundestag the germany within europe was declared. a target number one and i believe i believe. significant pressure but clearly out of the secret

partnership and cooperation to be indian others was expanded and we know that now there's again more evidence has come out there was a special agreement this secret and expanded sheria remit basically gave the united states car blodgett but also it was it was a b. and b. . not going to cooperate or going to help facilitate. this spring two thousand and fifteen a scandal erupts in germany regarding the close and secret collaboration between the german intelligence service be n.d. and the n.s.a. . the b. and d. cooperated with the n.s.a. to spy on european politicians and assisted the united states in attempts of industrial espionage. when the press reported that the chancellor rhee had known

about the scandal since two thousand and eight it peaked with the german opposition threatening to sue its own government over the b endianness a fair. use victorian. now it's become this new. markets and sign. in and as a cause an opinion dean went in and. from the indies and in these activities. just give us a mouse and an ear to get opposite your wooden. beason bear devoted to movie of a city a movie conjures item of protect invasion from fun toy chip. and forking and

a foothold. since two thousand and fourteen in an inquiry into the snowden revelations meets in the understand for the first time i whistle blower from the usa reports to the parliamentary committee about the n.s.a. and its into relations with the german d.n.d. . lean body confirm the very close relationship between the be indian the n.s.a. to the commission. a relationship that already existed during his time in the us intelligence service.

as infinity by the vanity and this instance of the shoot to kill film saga was in that it was office it was called in those lines of media and then this in the field for base of what he hopes on deny him took this via. get all the alpha and dis instruments to parliament house and control it and often things to any clue to move into an alpha meter better than awfully thin things to fit in follow the seat. belt for something to sit so it's going to get involved in vetting to see here stuff taught in any moth eaten things that ignorant the meat and if we can't get out and sit on the stuff it's moved into parliament house to control premiums i mean from what i can see they had the same problem getting information from the b. and d. that the congress has from getting of getting information from the n.s.a. . that is the either won't tell them or they lie to them. one of the other i mean

that's what's been going on in the in the u.s. government the point is that in our in our case we've been this snowden material is made obvious that they've been lying to the government that's what intelligence agencies are they are they are tossed to do things in secret that are unlawful. or politically embarrassing you see intelligence agencies aren't aren't controllable unless they're really heavily monitored and there's a verification and unquestionable verification process they don't have that now that's the problem in our country too we do not have a an undue unequivocal verification process that the agencies can't look can't can't corrupt. that we conclude this is team in the moon so they know all these things that this bill does the parliament how does include the leading this kicked out so and i can this community so going to parliament audition totally me i'm going into some talk when these talks of going to ongoing when i mean all governments seem to be in

a position of having to trust their intelligence agencies telling them the truth. that is questionable nothing will happen in terms of any self-regulation. as organizations are too secretive to complex to walk it is a house that regulates. the german chancellor in the bundestag parliamentary control committee are officially responsible for the control of the b. and d. . only with a more comprehensive and effective control of the intelligence agencies can civil rights and privacy be properly protected. what other options are there to prevent abuse or possible illegal activities by the spies.

often only intelligence insiders are left to go public reveal institutional violations and become whistleblowers get there's disparity between these individuals on the one side and the governments and intelligence services on the other and so the whistleblowers and activists soon find out what happens when they challenge these organizations. as a would consent in their view scotland be a given the have to go ohm's or me as us and good luck to get. this being bandied react to your own admission you were team whistleblower snowden fifty one i'm your king you but i didn't start and. so your answer was it's and. they are too old to be a very good business militants and suits are a time that's had kind basically just out. get through to get told by a club our best estimate must see vincent you want to give me isn't very good.

after his revelations in two thousand and thirteen edward snowden tried to flee from hong kong to south america via moscow but the u.s. revoked his passport he couldn't continue his journey from moscow and had to apply for asylum in russia. stowed had been criticized about ending up in russia headed up in russia because the state department canceled his passport and so he couldn't fly a russian are incredible our goal why would they do that that allows them to make the argument that he's working for russia and they can apply the nine hundred seventeen act why would they want to apply the nine hundred seventy because the nine hundred seventeen act carries with it the death penalty and they want to get in the death penalty the n.s.a. commission in the bundestag actually wanted to call snowden as a witness many voices in the german public support the idea to grant edward snowden

asylum in germany. maybe on al-jazeera. marking world press freedom day al-jazeera shines a light on this important issue and examines the state of freedom of the press around the world people in power ross the top u.s. general in afghanistan about his plans for defeating by the taliban and an isis insurgency. struggling with security issues and economic uncertainty iraq is finally set to hold elections as an unseen global battle rages for resources beneath our oceans we all skip the seabed is a territory still to be claimed commemorating seventy years from now but al-jazeera

examines what has changed in the past seven decades on both sides of this conflict made on al-jazeera. we understand the differences. and the similarities of cultures across the world so no matter how you take it al-jazeera will bring you the news and current affairs that matter to you al-jazeera. if you are in beijing looking out the pacific ocean you'd see american warships one mess somehow time as aiming to replace america and go around the world while the chinese are not that stupid these guys want to dominate a huge chunk of the planet this sounds like a preparation for our first president george washington said if you want peace prepare for war the coming war on china to josie it up.

the headlines on al-jazeera large crowds have gathered in yemen's capital samarra to pay tribute to the whole thing at some odds he was killed in a saudi led air strike last week saw the media say another airstrike on friday killed two more leaders and dozens of fighters at a high level meeting in samarra and saudi arabia says it's a deceptive for with the missiles fired from yemen target and city of jay's arm the rebels say they fired a total of eight ballistic rockets aimed at economic targets. and other news doctors in gaza say they are unable to cope with the huge number of palestinians injured in the latest friday border protests about nine hundred were wounded as israeli soldiers fired on crowds that came up to the fence four were killed demonstrations have been going on for more than

a month israel is facing international criticism for its use of live fire on protesters but says it's protecting its border. north korean media is calling friday's into korean summit a new milestone the official news agency said the meeting opened the way for what it coordinate national reconciliation and unity peace and prosperity meanwhile the u.s. president says he'll maintain maximum pressure on pyongyang to denuclearize the peninsula the foreign ministers of russia involuntarily have wrapped up talks on syria in moscow the three nations have been trying to find a political solution to the syrian conflict at talks that started in kazakhstan last year but they remain divided over the recent u.s. led strikes against the syrian government at least seventeen people have reportedly been killed in syria's largest palestinian refugee camp over the past twenty four hours the syrian government is trying to retake several neighborhoods in southern damascus including the refugee camp from isis fighters activists on the ground

estimate about sixty percent of the cap is being destroyed to start a week into the offensive to china and india so they'll improve military context of what any future. what are disputes and as promised in the. talks the president. on a stretch of the border last year lasted for months and he also raised the issue of chinese building projects in pakistan administered kashmir which india considers to be an occupation. those are the headlines on. digital dissidents continues next very much for watching. as it approaches its first year how has the gulf crisis affected the states of the gulf cooperation council are there any indications of resolution. what is the nature of the new regional and international alliances amid the raging conflict in the middle east. will increasing social unrest lead to

a new revolutionary wave in the arab world. as the countdown for the end of the palestinian cause started what is the likelihood of success of that which is known as the deal of the century. what role has the media played in the region's issues. the twelve zero forum the goal of the arabs and the world amid current developments doha april twenty eighth and twenty nine two thousand and eighteen. to me. this is kind of seafood keep going to the snowden assumed the call and come to put it on was leaving that old sign one was concerned i believe you all know the. truth of it with snowden.

a moment. here and i to leave for good if you can for please don't in this case. i was leave it on. somebody can i didn't you but i was stunned as if you didn't follow this it was noted not touched on came in mystery yet soon exploded. could said ticking off the moment he had known to prove an opiate of couldn't this i was leaving i'm just looking still if somebody can. push daintiest. my name feelin it was no didn't. want to call me. a song for a month he leaks it's my. name. and this dog. has

gotten cells crushed didn't listen good night it was good for the fruit flies he examined this guy in my dreams of steam. he blew. but if the guns and to promote the depression the of a monopoly is published on the internet where he says now an organization that is in conflict with the f.b.i. the cia the national security agency that you see educated such. an organization that is well known. to these agencies and in an organization that they are. walter we're in fort bliss drove into this kind of fog that does just my toes and see in the distance and it's my toes it's you know through diplomatic cables always calm but intimate connotation is each of interest and just as a. as a. d.m. i listen to kid of us is we don't cave it's come down for indignant and the seventy's it was when up to dusty bush on the book human toll in the vehicle does

that sound just stopped in. the us plot against julian a son came to light in two thousand and eleven as part of the so-called strat for x. . strat corps a texas based consulting company developing geostrategic all strategies for the us government jeremy hammond the hacker who copied a total of five million emails from the strad for server was sends to ten years in prison at the end of two thousand and thirteen. hammond's data theft included controversial messages by the vice president of stratford to the us government they contained a multi-stage strategy proposal of how to deal with a songe two weeks after the hacker attack the accusations of rape surfaced in sweden. that this must inspect for puppy and

doesn't the traditional shooting room one to introduce could you to your own so it . fits again admitted this little son that we get a potent with these a few days up to parker enough to begin busy talking julian since he surely finished us but sort of before it was as an eco subverts order to start to take it to you know we can take i'm sticking hudson on this with you could open it in times of high but you know did she have to get in sweden to see it is missing basic and buys just as i just got on a school offices in the mean dark to. the sun she travelled to sweden in two thousand and ten for a series of lecture. their investigation proceedings into sexual misdemeanors against two swedish women were open. a son said he was being subjected to a smear campaign and refuted the allegations when interpol issued an arrest warrant for him he went underground within twenty twenty four hours it had been dropped by

the most senior prosecutor in stalking me and i dropped and she said that there was no crime at all. that it make it. so later on it came out in the supreme court here that both women are concerned i had not followed the complaint and that one of them had said that the police had made this up after a brief game of hide and seek the son handed himself into the london police in december two thousand and ten and was remanded in custody released on bail with electronic ankle monitor a son fought in court against his extradition to sweden on a number of occasions. the walls were closing in both from the from the us side us it could be ready and from the. swedish side and from the u.k. . at the time. in june two thousand and twelve i had

a lot of. surveillance and also had to queue as a lady came out was spying on us and the national security agency only because. there was a risk a plane coming to the embassy to apply for asylum that that action would be seen and that i would be interdicted. i was extremely well disguised well i didn't look anything like i normally look. it's true that you heard something of a week and still the suit. the soup the stunning the she was correct yes. the clothing everything was different and the reason you put a stone in your sure is to change your game because their day can be quite recognisable and that's not an issue if someone's to seeing you in the newspaper

and that it is an issue for a surveillance team. since june two thousand and twelve the sun has been stranded at the ecuadorian embassy in london. at that time i said bob be happy to go to sweden provided there's a guarnteed of the exhibition to united states because the london independent had already revealed that the us and sweden were in informal talks about expediting me from sweden and be rendered. we call that rendering. you know that's what the one of the dark side activities that we've been doing. taking people up the street anywhere in the world and sending them to different places for torture or imprisonment.

is keep using i don't even in fog of a kind i leapt in five eight zero. up the side to here in these and snowden. and julian without bizarreness on julian guns guns thought that. he'd. a month from god to biggest of them for vicky dixon julian cause. it's a whole bunch of two some of us that's my tones no one should be killed expend this wasn't long before this critter i'm not a review of this and some guns inside the glided. by tarzan scene that had me going i will spend can get off of the killings i know. doesn't to some kind of sponsors thousand mimeo you know once the stories over the journalists skip off and break the stories they've made their careers and their suppliers that time try having broken and created with no hope of proper employment again. you know having

left behind your whole way of life your social circle everything and in the case of intelligence for supply of course you face automatic prosecution and conviction today so it's a very high price to pay. well i mean the real threat came when the f.b.i. came into my house and when i was getting out of the shower and pointed a pistol at me. i was getting out of the shower getting dragged dried off and they came in pip pointing a pistol at me and also my family so it was a threat and it was hard to threaten people and then after that the department of justice attempted to fabricate evidence and and indict us i was very publicly indicted with a ten felony is a ten felony count indictment under the espionage act facing thirty five years in prison that was that was the final price you government or the inside the intelligence community there

trumpeting these things they're holding these guys up it as examples to say look if you say what's going on the line even is even if you do it for the right reasons even if you do it the right way there will be record cautions you know they talk about internal channels and what not but these guys used in terms of analysts and they say people like thomas drake they ended up getting indicted and this is something that i paid very close attention to and learned a great deal from it was very rare in american history to get charged with espionage for nods. in fact i was actually the only the second whistleblower charged a white mayor the first was dana oils when he went to the baltimore sun. he did not reveal classified information now they charge him with cash if i could but that was a hoax say there was a fraud they re crashed five material that they found in his computer which was not classified and he had every reason to believe that he would not be prosecuted for

what he gave to baltimore sun he would lose his john he would lose his clearance right gives his very serious serious jobs depended on terrorists in fact most of the judge he should have now would require terms so he was taking a very serious risk but i don't if you risk if he thought he would be prosecuted i don't i was blacklisted i was president i got i was radioactive no government agency would take me nor nor any contractor with the government it was off limits and at the same made it crystal clear even though there were attempts by even prior to my indictment to find work it all they would all come to naught so i ended up as a wage rate employee. one of the retail stores in the greater d.c. area where i still work but unable to find any other work at all of any kind that was the price you have no job you have no

career you have no you have no pension all those years i served in the government i'm now a traitor and an enemy of the state. the price thomas drake another whistle blowers pay for warning against the danger of a surveillance state is high loss of friends and family. flight into exile or long prison sentences under more stringent conditions. professional isolation and personal financial collapse.

some of this is so we hear is so mirrors. you didn't hear it dish everything is organized everything is. just. that's. how far we've got on our efficiency. or race the sovereignty of individuals. i'd seen how

far an institution would go to raise freedom. for a person's life. and the only way they can do that is to control them every single second of the day and measure it at the same time. i chose to hold myself inside a system. never imagining what i did. that i'd be charged with espionage. for having defended the constitution protecting the constitution became a state crime. a stir. and we have the power. and you don't. in the end all they had left to do was assassinate me. at the character that's all they had left. assassinate. which is the only in the

form. of control right. it doesn't matter what even the crimes against the state were. your unexceptable. you're not fit. to work in the government or see or be a citizen. yet you do not deserve prison. treasure the wrong guy. where we have that in history. that goes. you just described how the f.b.i.

team interrogated me in a similar room and they played the good cop bad cop with themselves and they brought the chief prosecutor and he threatened me with spending the rest of my life in prison unless i cooperated with their investigation and he said you better start talking and i simply said i'm not going to be part of the truth. he says we have more than enough evidence to put you away for a long long time i was declared an enemy of the state i committed crimes against state. but i'm standing here free and i can't be to tell you what it means it's ok so i'm thanking you for polina up the mirror to my own government ok it's all right because i'm free i did not end up in the dark hole. ok.

now i'm glad the west won in that regard and yet how paradoxical it is that the technology of the west is now being used to mass surveillance on a scale of the stars he never could have imagined. i don't need one agent two hundred eighty quote unquote east german citizen. the computer takes care of it for me that's the real machine. that makes a lot easier to. buy publicly call for the dissolution of it as a you can't reform it to reason over form possible the last thing left which is true is to cut funding. the problem is they weren't smart enough to understand what they were creating. but they in fact were creating this master study network i mean this is like this study

and super steroids the study had all these data all this data on a lot of people but it was all handwritten in paper and files and so on very difficult to manipulate also hard to keep up to date and hard to keep complete none of that is a problem any more or less especially with this electronic acquisition of information that makes it really simple so i referred to this is the study on super steroids you know and this is an n.s.a. i now refer to as the new study agency time after time after todd mass surveillance as. wanting it has been unable to prevent so the most significant terrorists these terrorist terrorist incidents of our day it never prevented the boston marathon bombing it certainly didn't prevent them the latest the charlie hebdo massacre and peris why is that
