11:15 am
on on its maiden voyage in 1912 with a rag disintegrating the scanner as per the crucial close for future research. that's it from me and the news team for now on the a corpus mckinnon will have an update for you. at the top of the hour, but don't go way up. next adult film presents a journey into the world of active as come on the x in the face of anonymous don't miss that god office in berlin from me and the new scene. thanks for watching the i sorry, so one on 6 times to please come and see more people than ever on the move worldwide. in such a better price than mine. and one time it is very hard to say,
11:16 am
very difficult to find out about time on store info microns. so this a race a day to day today? well, today they're making a movie about my life. i've been called type of terrorist but i have to laugh right now i. ready i get what, what is an information terrace, please? i mean, can somebody help me with that? how can i terrorize people would with the truth, the matter x had on that from the beginning of the movements being right there is pretty free or better. his smart, he is articulate and his words have power that most people's do not. that's dangerous to the power. we like bad guys. he was
11:17 am
very divisive. some people loved him. some people hated them. he was the distraction at best. i think of times he would type in all caps, you know, anything like he was a guy who, who's commanded attention. does anyone who did the most, take the edge because we have started and all inspiring and just ran it over the surgery part. it was the mentor x, but this is a war american, straight up. this is a war. i think there is like an entertainer in him. i mean, he likes to tell stories, he likes to kind of take you into a whole world and sometimes you don't know how much of that is exaggeration. you have to put a person behind the mass. people want stories. so can i direct, did make a good story i was talking with my editor at the new york or about doing a larger piece about anonymous. and to me, the story was how has activism moved from the streets to the inner head and then
11:18 am
back to the street. so that was, i think, fundamentally the story i was telling, and commander x was, it was really the personification of that. it was a profile of a contemporary american act of this. he grew up in main like a ranch in maine. but you know, he had a difficult life. he had a difficult offering, his father was abusive. my parents were not a very good people. i'm just going to ended there, but they were not very good people. and so i spent a lot of time at my grandmother's house, and i had become fascinated with the idea of computers. so i convinced this guy a word from my dad. he was a pharmacist assistant to bring into a local university and show me a real computer. so he brought me down to the university and there was a program. it was a very basic chat program as a frigging 13 year old kid isn't noticing shit, go start talking back here. you like me. so you can see that coming into it from that way in that fashion. just fascinations never been aware of. now i'm like a kid,
11:19 am
we can't do. so i'm living my own science fiction. she gets to cambridge. she was sleeping on park benches. my understanding of it was just because he liked the mobility of it. i mean, i ran across the entire park type protest. i stopped, i don't know what people i smoke. some pot was given flyers, you know, you make friends or people. they've got a flyer in their hands. you're going to read it. i was so angry that there could be a system of government in our century in my lifetime that you had to go into a police station and put your hand up to a colored shot. and based on how dark or light you were, that's how many right, you've got that is ridiculous. i know i can. well, you know, thanks for hanging out with us and you know, we're doing this thing tomorrow. the things like the animal liberation front, the earth or abrasion front. i did my tours of duty in both of those and then
11:20 am
eventually our with or so we were to hack a group that we called the people who abrasion from the pos we were more of like a little militia. we adopted these titles called commander. we'd all dress and campbell when we would protest one day, my friend sat me down and said look we, we want to have a talk about something active as grew by the name of it on this had hacked the pores of the epilepsy foundation of america and they had placed on the form in the front page, a animated gift. these gifts, she's animated gifts, a stroke draped brightly to stroke very fast. they could take it up a web deck and causing never seizure. just looking at it for people went to the hospital across the country. and these people were literally harmed by hackers, thousands of miles away. physically wounded. we can what get passed. these people need to either be brought to justice or at the very least monitored to see
11:21 am
what else they've got to do. so i always cash with literally infiltrating anonymous . i was to go in the i or see, spend as much time as i couldn't make as much contacts not to get these people busted. this was not some sort of law enforcement thing. i just want to know what these people are up to, you know, so that's how i get into anonymous. there was no founder but not from late. 2007 on there was some degree of soft power. that in one way or another managed to corral phenomenon, there was no reason to expect us to go on for too long. it is frankly shocking. a matter of fact, it, it worked for as long as it was the brown. i'm a journalist in august and the gentleman have dish or not on this was not valid. i'm not sure if anybody would've fingers on the ability for it to actually sign it back in. unfortunately for trans website damage boards that have been around since for 2005,
11:22 am
the primordial soup religion on him is actually evolved. that was the 1st of all for anonymous. so i don't think you can really understand anonymous without understanding for chance. there were message boards within for chat. it was a forum for people on the internet to talk freely and openly about writing subjects . then there was a board that was just a random for flash b. we've talked about penny thing. that's where it became a bit more freeform. and the idea was that your default handle was anonymous. that was the name you were given. that was kind of like this 5 mind of the internet. and so they started to do what they called rates, which was there like, hey, let's do like a little field trip on the internet. something fun and stupid. so they did that. well, one of the famous ones was have a hotel which was a silver escape, which they decided to infiltrate. you know, have all these characters that rose. i think there were some like nazi imagery. it
11:23 am
was just about shop value and fun. obviously offensive fun. i wonder, you know, what would happen when these people realize what power there a, i'm what greater power they could have if they were to adopt some shared ideology, some shared internet. and that ended up happening everyone knows that anonymous existing depending on how you look at it all the way back to even late. 03. but in reality that was 2 people on a website. you know, the strangest thing happens, you know, in january, oh wait, it becomes this, you know, giant movement that the news is covering and that was partially my fault and definitely an accident. you know, i look back and i wish i could say, you know, i masterminded this amazing thing on burke. now i have no idea what i was doing. good on january 14th, 2008 on 410. this video is posted of tom cruise being in st. tom cruz sy, in color scientology. when you drive past accident,
11:24 am
it's not like anyone else is a drug past. you know, you have to do something about it because, you know, you're the only one that can really help. and another post come saying the video is gone and it was like, well wait, why did, why did that get taken down? that's tom cruise being insane. it's, it's funny we decided that we're really good at docs, and people were really going to getting their information in hunting people down and use some connections to find the person who had the video and we re uploaded it . it was taken offline in like 30 seconds. you just don't do that. you don't take something off the internet. i remember talking to someone about this and they created so like a like a playground in. somebody took their ball so we decided we were going to troll scientology by putting out a press release. hello, leaders of scientology. we are none of us. over the years. we have been watching you, your campaigns as most information, your suppression of this and your litigious nature. score to the line between do be
11:25 am
and honest byron, it happens to successfully feared towards all inspiring. and it has therefore decided that your organization should be destroyed. this is ominous, like we're riding like the internet is coming for, you get ready. we shall proceed to expel you from the internet and systematically dismantled the church of scientology in its present form. it was about 1020 at night on the 21st of january, 2008. i don't remember my birthday half the time. i don't know why this 16 so well, but then we uploaded this video and i think if i'm lucky, 2030 people watch this video. find it funny. we are none of us. we are legion. we do not forgive. we do not forget, expect us. i got woken up by my girlfriend at the time. it was like 4 30 in the morning. she's calling me maybe 5 is right around there. and she says, turn on cnn. you have nowhere to because we are everywhere. and at that point, we're sitting there with a 1000000 views on the video news reaching out, trying to get ahold of us scientology paying big money to private ice,
11:26 am
trying to find us and an army kind of in front of us that are all going by the name anonymous, now they promised an army. they didn't have it, but by virtue of making it clear, making it palpable. people wanted this army of emerge from the internet and right wrong. and so easily, we're like, well the, let's plan a global world wide protest in every, you know, major country on the planet. we're going to be those multiple protest types, but do it like the internet doesn't to make it fun. we're sending a non, i'm us outside so they better remain anonymous. so we're going to need to cover our face. it. the media needs something. they can show this the ominous thing, right? so we had to give them a mask. it had to be available. so we actually spent the next about 25 hours calling comic shops, costume shops, and literally every single city we tried to call had guy fox messed installed, sitting in bassett. no one was buying that they had viscount it because everyone
11:27 am
thought after the, from a better movie than a 1000000 of these was sell in the really cool, great decision made is the only mass we can actually use. everyone wants a romantic version of this story. know it was because it was the only one that was available in every single town we were going to be, and that was all in us. it's sort of created the some mythology of anonymous who is anonymous. what are they? they where are these mass, cnn? and i think that was the time when anonymous was really branded. they happen to be clever enough to organize all these thousands of people to install this video. and so the army would materialize, the army showed up. this is what the internet would look like if it went outside. there were women, there were people of color, every race, there were young and old, there was every one, and we just weren't expecting them. and that's how phenomena. first became of the size of ports. you have a thing now, what are we to do with this?
11:28 am
it only been bills for fighting sign holiday. in reality, a full bill was actually just the screw it them for a week. you know, i get this being so often so we accidental every step of it. we didn't expect us to keep going. scientology protests at that time was funny as hell. and guess what advisory sold me on them. they really were turned out to be people that were authentic. at that point in the story, there's just one of those cathartic moments that's about to happen for really everybody. and that was the release of the collateral murder video, the the
11:29 am
losing weeks of the release of that was an immediate, a sudden the storm of persecution fired off at which waves wishing leaks. pick a fight with the us. now the us is fighting back in more ways than one american lawmakers want to see founder drilling assigns. they want to see him try it under the espionage act in which he makes websites has its own trouble. this is a new news, or paypal has announced it has suspended. wiki leaks is account costing at a vital source of funding. mastercard, visa, and paypal agreed to a behind the scenes us embargoed as wiki leeks, whereby they all simultaneously more or less. so the overall process initially switches anymore immediately. there is this visceral rage because the website took the k k k or the westboro baptist church and have paypal donation ranks on their
11:30 am
site. but then what about was a publishing company like would you weeks just trying to get enough money to pay for their servers and no, or you can me as, as so an arm is just left that day. the data donation portals came down. not a single coming for you. supporters of the website wiki likes watching a sweeping cyber war this way. that's right. it's been called operation pay back or also operation oven designs. and that's basically a loose affiliation of hackers that call themselves anonymous. this time they're turning attention to what they consider to be the enemies of what he needs visa, mastercard. so the big kits they've had so far, this man calls himself commander x and says he's part of anonymous power benign. and this is, is, is that we have the ability to effect change on the internet, their method of choice, a denial of service attack or hackers, overwhelm websites with a huge volume of requests for information. pressing the sites is command racks for
11:31 am
it, cause that process is, is the approval with virtual sit, anybody can do it. you don't have to be a hacker and take out a website. you know, you can download a program and figure it out and, and afternoon, these are all various the doors weapons. this would be the equivalent of a rifle. so now our target has been loaded. and as we say in, in i'm is poopoo. and hopefully hundreds if maybe thousands of people would download this for the same software and all of us fire. so it's really about multiplication. this is a weapon. it's designed to be used by an army you have. in essence, julian assigned to us become a cyber messiah and hundreds of followers who are waking up zombie computers. and this is the 1st time you really begin to hear during those 10 days, the api i rhetoric was just over the top. you know, these have cyber terrorists that we're going to shutting down. and of course, we're all like, yeah. you. yeah. how? so what protests get used to it in the midst of them not
11:32 am
be living in santa cruz and i had a cabinet in the mountains, but i used to stay. and what else that can cause any paper hole down? there's places to sweep outdoors, a chain of who's doesn't just have always people on you have like you mentally ill and you're addicted to hover around santa cruz because there's a lot of drugs here to serve town. but the vast majority of people that they label homeless people are actually just bone inks or just people traveling up and down the coast to travel. backpacking, camera, living culture that exists. the police always, people have protests, can't go p scale. we were so anything on the courthouse steps were sweeping, did protests were sleeping, literally would assign next to us. it said,
11:33 am
i am protesting this week why? that's why i'm sleeping here is people sleep and all over the support house. so what's going on? it's peace camp 2010. i'm at the start of the santa cruz county board house were homeless after the 7 protesting city ordinances for more than a month. a squad of shares on hand. so to get all the rest. and i'd be interested in chris, you have a more unhealthy arrest. right? you're going placing headlines back. nobody had any flu. that the scraggly guy with a long red beard and everything is like one of the most. as for you as hackers, online with the names from the ender acts, i decided that i would harness my new friends that i was garnering in the united this collective. and actually i got a plan. i said i,
11:34 am
i can do what i want to take down to the county website actually, but i want to be super cool about it because like, you know, i'm here in this town. so what i'd like to do is do it really ethical hacking style . let's do it at one a sunday at noon for 30 minutes and would pronounce. it will tell them the specific time it is going to be down to this. no, in the public to know that you just this way, you know, and they will come back. i just went off, did it shut in the coffee house, and i'm sure you know these attacks. i'm deploying cyber web instead of crew bill. just a de doors to detectives from santa through shares walked in and gave everybody a good look over. and that's what i started backing up and get them out in a way i make my way to the library. put out the proseries from the library. and then the next morning i get up and the headline is on the same cruise paper. i mean a big black letters, santa cruz cyber attack and i knew
11:35 am
i knew i just knew it was epic and i knew that my wife would never be the same again. and the other thing i also knew was the anonymous was the most powerful force ever to be created in humanity. so far better accessory is and you know, we all know we've all seen his, his version of reality, but he didn't come into my orbit and till people started talking to me about the fact that x that he talks to you on i r c. and i'm like, who you just kind of showed up as a guy who was putting up websites under the a non name and you would look at it and the website looked like it was built in 1993 like one of the 1st drafts of a website ever got a guy who was helping me telling us he was homeless was building so like, he didn't want to just outright say uh, what did you want to say? okay, guys trying with very limited resources. he would be doing his thing and obviously he was doing video wise thing he was getting target see was, i don't think he's doing what harm and i was always kind to him because of the surprising enough i am actually natalie. a kind person by default that i just said
11:36 am
like nice thing is sometimes like a sarcastic, like go for continued commander. as i understand his story, he was the kind of hippie protest or who showed up and you know, was holding signs and i were and all that you know, and that was none of us to, to speak the honest truth. like i'm the 19 year old driving a car who sees a puddle and a bunch of people at a bus stop. it hits the puddle as fast as you can. i. that's me and 19 i'm, i'm not the good guy. so from the very beginning, there was definitely a clash of just personalities because he came at it from a completely different way. we sort of, we were thrust into being activists very accidentally. and that was just who he thought he was i did not have all access at that point to not 1st i was, you know, definitely very strong and very powerful person and had respect even though people like their brown and in great house and stuff like that. and i remember clearly going to bear brown and asking him, what do you think we should do next?
11:37 am
i think he responded with just one word. keep an eye in the middle east, a veteran and i did not sit there and planned the adventure box of nature entities, revolution needed, revolution began plan through the vendor into this capital set himself on fire in process of the struggle for a police having taken away his, our assets for vote affility band, right? that is what starts the initial flight rate. that's what started the, the st. uprisings the rage. it provides an enzyme or design a catalyst, markups chemistry, or much else via cattle as a center of attention. for those of the country you were aware of it to really around teenager is, is one of those interesting ones where they invited us we didn't even come and talk to them. they came and talked. you know, at 1st we all didn't think we could help. i mean, honestly, it's strange enough. metrics was the 1st one in that channel saying, no, we can actually do this. and we all thought it was insane. i mean, like,
11:38 am
who the hell are we? this is a dictator of an african nation to nation. hackers came to us in and on this and in fact they were more or less handed off to me because nobody knew quite what to do with them. but they claimed to have some rather extraordinary access, but needed some assistance on small country with a small infrastructure. and we have the username and passwords to every thing. you name it, the water supply, i, the radio stations, the servers that the president's email is on your back. anything, we just have the passwords. here you go. so we were able to prove that these people receiving testing nor this drives living like gods. while tunisia, drought, and poverty and so now these people are really just curious, is this, right? who are the people who are planning on going to the streets or they are they are the people you know are, are, are we helping some extremist or we're going to make it worse?
11:39 am
to the extent there is right and wrong. and it one can point to a large the people and say that one is mostly right, that what is mostly wrong. there was never any question that we were right. and that if, if this was to escalate further, it would be a terrible thing for the involved. but i would personally be induced, you ask about that. the, i mean, you're looking at and you think what could hundreds to but you'd be surprised at how important it is to keep communication from city to city. we built this west of all the technology. they were locked and we kind of estimated what order they would try and block them and like easiest, they're going to just get twitter and facebook turned off in the country, right. so we put proxies and fed them to all the people in the major cities as, as soon as the, the start working action, some of this way to meet get activated satellite phones because some of the people of nice weekend it keeps going from there to like
11:40 am
7 layers of communication, so when the internet goes down and when the cellphones go down, we can keep handing them a new way to keep in contact. the. this is all in rambling hours, days rate, 6 feet by far as we talked about earlier in the par type, moving for 10 years. it took 10 days during the decatur. i changed the after twenty's. yeah. we're starting to help the egyptians with the same tools because now we've kind of got a tool kit we're really beginning to define skills specifically applied to these st. whoever's internet, back on egypt, 3 times the, oh my god, we are having to pull it, including facts. we're saying who's going to rule in this world and who isn't
11:41 am
people showed up as for our how it turned out, it was things we can do. so we did it, and then i went back to building some plumbers website the next day. i mean, i think we came out of the early spring, pretty convinced we were all gods the, by the time the cities revolution was over time, you get that started the off the r rated, 40 us household sort of single day, late january 2011, over of these did us attacks to slow down mastercard for, for the website and visas and phase house for a couple seconds on res families being held at gunpoint in some cases, dozens of f. b i. agents targeted a ledge, members of our with search warrant agents, hit 6 homes in new york along with locations across the country. so using hard drives and computer accessories, it's all the same moment. literally the same moment. that's how they do this so that we can't get on like i r c and say hey,
11:42 am
do to come in and like you're driving right. and that's what, that's what they did. except there's only got 39 of them for me because one was that man visa dot com went offline for a few minutes. did that affect any one's ability to buy anything or give anyones info away? no, it did not bring their marketing piece where you could download a brochure. it was offline for a few minutes, somehow. $50000000.00 of damage. no, no. when have you as someone who has a visa card ever gone to a visa. com, it didn't affect anyone. and it was down for 5 minutes, but they tried to get people you know, to go to prison for it. oh, what did it take a case to get and died in 2010. the low orbit ion cannon. nature, it's a joke. like the thing says, pew on it. it's a way, it's by nature, it's a joke and you know, a joke to get to prison in 2010. my name's j leaderman and the criminal defense
11:43 am
attorney. i do a lot of under dog work. i do a lot of the stuff that people touch because they're worried, it's it to hire, to co invest in a level i sent out a series of tweaks that i would represent some right, just active as busted in my meaning california. so in our general mailbox, the next day there was a message from set on commander x and he thought they were looking for, for the potential santa cruz dos. they consider that on authorized access, any thought that things were going down very quickly for him. i was the mountain view, california and i had known the day and pretty much track me to mountain view. i was seeing the crowd vicks around, i saw the f, b i, agents in the library when i search the internet, the overhead me sharon bite, least it doesn't eat at all times. they must have really, really feared me at that,
11:44 am
at that point to deploy a dozen agents rather than just walk over the rest and back and forth. it was actually, you know, we had the meeting spots arranged at that point. i'm still using like some sort of commercial based email. i'm still new and he was using some encrypted form of email for some reason. he said to me, the last email he said to me was like j. i'll see you at 10 o'clock as such and such a coffee. i was looking for parking and i got a call from my office that christopher doyle i was. yeah, i called back the number. it was an f b i agent. they were like, yeah, hold on us talking they got them an hour before i got there. at the place we had arranged to meet the i don't know what their methods are. who knows if they had like some camera planted in the little whatever tree x was like,
11:45 am
you know, sleeping under, you know, looking at his computer when he's fighting, you know, i can't prove that it was on my end. but it sure appears that the, the i violated attorney client privilege by having my e mails monitored and were able to pick him up an hour before i arrived at the meeting. and they were alleging $6200.00 in damages is just some guy in a library, like clicking enter on his computer. come on, man. like what, what's this worth? and then, and then that's what ultimately happened was they felt was you know, be good for 18 months and will dismiss all of these course. he could have gotten 15 years so i was doing some bale h mistake category on their part and you had me and you let me go.
11:46 am
and so of course i went back to the war for i'd like to stay for the public records in this press conference is being held against the advice of x is good at getting attorneys officers me i, i am also proof i, i work fine. this document that i am looking for is had i f king does have the right to remain silent. he chooses not to exercise it. no, i am not gary smith. despite the best efforts of the city, because you know the federal government, i will not be silenced. the f b i is now in possession of 3 of my computers to cellphones and god knows how many external tries they've taken on my electronic safe,
11:47 am
forbidding me from using electronics. how am i going to handle this? i can't go back to hacking, but i want to keep fighting and keep them with them and it dawned on me. what else can do? i'm going to say good bye. i'm not coming back. and i begin my run to the canadian border. as far as i knew, i think he was looking sort of the 1st fugitives out of this whole movement. i really didn't think he had gone to canada. and sure as heck you went to canada. if you want to call me a terrorist, i've got no problem with that. um, but i would ask you who is it that's terrified? and if it's the bad guy standard terrified i'm. i'm really super ok with that. the media for some reason loved talking to it. about commander x. i went to go see
11:48 am
him in montreal. whenever you heard interviews with somebody in anonymous, they treated it like you know, yours were some like troll that had run out of the cave and you were all pixilated and all of that. but like he was a guy who kind of looks like an older hippy guy, and that put a face on something that had been faceless to a lot of people. but i think it was in that moment to when he really became even more ostracize within the subculture of anonymous because the one thing you weren't supposed to do was to distinguish yourself really as an individual and for face on something that's face was a lot of accusations has been, levied at him about what literally is referred to as a more and they're not entirely wrong. i mean, he obviously wanted it, he literally named himself commander. his own version of the story. you know, very much says that he came in and was, you know, helping to make things better and is commander x. and some reason interface has
11:49 am
made some startling claims. it doesn't anonymous may very well be the most powerful organization on earth that the group of 50000 members world wide have access to every classified database in the us government people would then be like, why did he say that? i mean, that just sounds stupid. talk a little bit more about them, but i have nothing more to say what do you want to know? it was getting the people because he was also making the message look bad. like he says best. it's obviously insane then another and on. so something that's obviously true, but they're all insane. the something about the city made me feel like it would be a very awesome place for me to take a bit of a break and maybe blend in your saddle here. seems all right. and so i met in jordan when he was just walking down the street. as
11:50 am
a recently 10 story teller, this was gold or somebody wants to do it. there was no master plan to do anything with it but viscerally. this is the sort of thing that story tell us. things are so vain we added in fiction. this have to be investigated. so this for several years. was the bedroom of come on direct. he slept with these laptop underneath his head. he would wrapped in bubble wrap, particularly during the winter, make it well to tight. and then if he would disturb, during the night, at least his laptop was under his head and he'd get up every morning he'd go to the, to the coffee shop. and that's where he stops electronic welfare and misuse of intrigue. he helped me write the books because i didn't have an agent. i didn't have a boy, i didn't have a publisher. he knew what my goals were, which was the finest iowa. thank you. thank you very much. i'm going to go to work. i'm sorry to keep you waiting complicated business. donald
11:51 am
trump, it already made himself a a rabbit enemy of the mexican people in the mexican government where you will build a great wall along the southern border. the mexico will pay for the war you can use my was will never pay for the comp had really ratcheted up. that the tension between the 2 countries. and when you're looking for asylum, this is what you're looking for. it's a political heck. so mexico is working really in play here. the big problem of course, is geography, right? i've got to go back into the united states of america, the most elaborate, thoughtful anonymous operation that i have ever been a part of kilometers sailor begins. this is
11:52 am
