8:17 am
and what the prosecution agrees with about jeremy hammond. he is a long-term political activist, he has been involved in political activism throughout his political life. the allegation against him is that, through his political activism, he became the journalistic source to which wikileaks and hundreds of other reorganizations in the united states and around the world. the crackdown against jeremy hammond is part of, on the one hand, the crackdown on effective political activists, but also part of the crackdown on alleged journalistic falsehoods. yourwant to turn to attorney, julie assange. he spoke about the e-mails from the private intelligence firm stratfor that were allegedly
8:18 am
published by wikileaks. allegedly, julian assange an wikileaks are published in the stratfor e-mails. so the comparison is that they are now going after a whistleblower and a source, a person that has been a source to journalists. 31 major media around the world in 17 countries published those. he is a whistleblower and a source and should be protected. my client, wikileaks and doing assange, ought to be protected as publishers. >> your response? is part of a wider crackdown against journalistic forces, which has been in the news recently as a result of the fbi and doj taking records of the associated press for fox
8:19 am
news journalist james rosen. that is something that has really risen up under the obama administration. in relation to the espionage act, obama applied it to more journalistic sources and all previous itn ministrations combined going back to the creation of the act. in fact, obama, on his campaign brags that twice as many applications as previously done. that is part of the new centralization of power in the united states. in russia, when we look at the 99 the's, vladimir , vladimir putin
8:20 am
's actions, the same thing has been evolving in the united states in the last 10 years. that is why we see, for example, the state department budget, in its entirety, has been moved under the national security budget. usaid's bucket have similarly been moved under national security. private military contractors, a type oftfor, form oil between these different groups, connecting them in terms up personnel and contracts. the previous group rivaling this
8:21 am
was perhaps finance companies and banks. .ow it is clear who is winning in order to get anything done, like as in russia, you need a sponsor within that group. as a result of its increasing strength and power, is able to command an increasing share of the u.s. tax burden, pulling it to itself. the state department was having its budget decline at about 3% per year in real terms while the military, the intelligence complex was having a similar increase per year. that is presumably why they decided to jettison some of its independent institutions and move into this protected financial umbrella. that shows you the increasing
8:22 am
political strength of the u.s. overurden being ticketed like vultures on a corpse. the biggest boulter can steal more of the blood of u.s. taxpayers. the biggest one right now is the military industrial complex and itis getting bigger, is transferring more power to itself. other competing institutions, like the department of help, pension programs, they also tried to compete politically. in reality, they are not competing as well as they could. so this machine is getting bigger. as it gets bigger, it begins to gain more and more power for itself. the crackdown, in relation to
8:23 am
the has been much pact, is an example of that, going actor activists like jeremy hammond, putting them in prison for 10 years, forcing them to take a .lea this is the same sort of legislation that aaron swartz found himself under. parlay used also in the brand name manning proceedings. theartly used also in bradley manning proceedings. those people who effectively criticized this new central power in the u.s. should not be able to sew. >> in addition to facing a maximum of 10 years in prison,
8:24 am
jeremy hammond may also be required to pay up to $2.5 billion in restitution costs. you have talked about how this is part of a widening range of crackdowns on whistle-blowers. what do you think this kind of precedent this sets, and what kind of example doesn't give people who will be whistleblowers in the future? the obama administration is becoming a sausage factory making political prisoners. bradleyjohn hammond, manning, a number of other examples as well. set is do notey criticize this power block at all. be a way found to criminalize it. manning,ke hammond,
8:25 am
are used as examples in order to decrease criticism and embarrassment on behalf of this new common dominant political institution in the united states. asdo you see jeremy hammond a whistleblower, and why? >> he is not a whistle-blower, he is a political activist. overlaps the mechanism of many different whistleblowers. for example, the alleged activities of bradley manning. very similar sorts of activities. they are going after him because they do not like the results. they are going after bradley manning because they do not like results.
8:26 am
they want to try to keep the parents of authority. pentagon, at allied institutions, like stratfor, cannot keep up the perception of a party if bright young men, courageous and moral, like jeremy hammond seemed to have struck a blow against them and exposed their corrupt activities. >> we are going to take a break. we are speaking with julian assange. he had been granted political asylum by ecuador, in the ecuadorian embassy right now in london. the britishoutside, government says that they will arrest him and extradite him to sweden. we've the top of his case, as long as the case of bradley manning, who is about to go on trial.
8:28 am
>> "the times they are a- changin" by bob dylan. democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. assange fromjulian the ecuadorian embassy in london. if he steps foot outside, the british government said that he will be arrested and extradited to sweden. if you could, describe your situation right now. physically where you are. you are standing in front of an image. -- howe what that is long have you been inside the embassy? >> right now i am inside the embassy, as i have been for 11 months. before that, i was under house arrest for approximately 590 days, prior to that, solitary
8:29 am
confinement. the image that you see behind you is a frame from collateral fromr, the famous release wikileaks, which displays the murder of two reuters staff and a number of others in baghdad in 2007, which was covered up by the u.s. military. bradley manning has been charged with supplying that video to us and has himself said that he did so. you will see a cannon shell through the front of the band, dead bodies around. of them are the reuter's staff. we had this as a background frame for a talk i did at
8:30 am
oxford, similar to how i am oxford uniond the rejected the whole background by audience, they could not see the footage. ou can google for assange censored oxford. partly to pay tribute to the people that died in this incident, but also to bradley manning, to take a stand against the censorship of oxford, we have presented this background. youince we last spoke to in november, brad demanded has pled guilty -- bradley manning has pled guilty to using classified materials that he
8:31 am
felt should become public, but deny the top charge against him, aiding the enemy. he acknowledged he gave classified documents, among them the video you are describing, would you call collateral murder, which shows the journalists in baghdad being blown up by an apache helicopter, and then the subsequent explosion of the van. he has pled guilty to giving these documents to you. you have always said you would not reveal your sources, but since he has pled guilty to this, can you talk about the significance of what bradley manning gave to wikileaks, and what you published? >> he is making his statements underdress presently. he is facing a capital offense, which barack obama would have to sign.
8:33 am
8:34 am
washington post" reports a person they have called a dod operator whose name they have not revealed, who is likely to say osama bin laden received access to some of the materials through an associate because of what manning's revealed. i havelatest information is that there are, in fact, four of those people involved in the osama bin laden raid that will be testifying in one way or another. this is of course part of the show trial. the alleged actions here are communication between a source and a journalist. 141 prosecution witnesses, 31 of them giving secret testimony in part or behind a screen or something like this. this is a show trial. the trial is meant to go for 14
8:35 am
to 16 weeks and the prosecution, pentagon, and possibly what house is hungry for this. this is their bid broadway musical moment. they have their star leaders from the seals and elsewhere that they intend to put up in order to terrorize people from communicating with journalists, communicating with public. >> what do you think the significance is of the fact that over two dozen witnesses will testify in secret? what we a furthering of are seeing, this new political structure of centralized intelligence military power, continues to gain financial and political capital. it is advancing frontiers to the degree where is now conducting extensive secret trials.
8:36 am
the same thing has been introduced in the uk. we all know without open justice there is no justice at all. judges must themselves be on trial before the public as they conduct trials. we are all aware of the terrible abuses in the past that have come about because of secret star chambers. military-ss, the neo- industrial complex has gained enough power where it can you're backed to the earlier times. >> i want to turn to recent australiande by an official. he was asked about your extradition, in the event you were taken to sweden. >> julian assange could have been the subject of the extradition by the u. s in the
8:37 am
past two years. swedishestion that the are after him as a cia conspiracy, allowing him to be bundled off to langley, va., is sheer fantasy. the swedes have one in the u.k. courts. it is about a criminal allegation made in sweden. that is why he is in the ecuadorean embassy. in this, australia has no status. we have no standing in the courts on this. we have made representations to the swede's about him being treated with due process. we have done that three times this month. have that score, do you the assurance that he would never be extradited to the united states? >> it has been our policy for decades that we never extradite someone on a matter related to
8:38 am
military or intelligence. australian the foreign minister. could you comment on what he said? well known liar and australian politics. the man's ignorance is only cooked by his ignorance -- arrogance. a part of the u.s. embassy when he had no business being a part of them. points byhrough these bob carr. he is a master our rhetoric. he says there is no evidence of cra compares the -- conspiracy
8:39 am
designed to smuggle me off to langley, virginia. quite right, but that is not the issue here. the strong man has been constructed. , has mades admitted previous admissions, that the criminal investigation against wikileaks, which australian diplomats have said are unprecedented in scale and nature, continues. the subpoenas that came out as a result of the grand jury always has just two names on them. bradley manning, and my name. those are the only two people named in those opinions. in the manning court case, say, cross-itnesses examined, under oath, that the targets of the grand jury investigation are the founders
8:40 am
and managers of wikileaks, among others. whetherrelation to sweden it extradites, there are a number of issues here. carr says thebob u.s. could ever extradited any time they like. well, just look at .usticeforassange.com it is normal for a grand jury to go for two to three years. the doj admits that the grand jury, in relation to us, is still going. furthermore, it is unlawful for any u.s. official to admit to
8:41 am
the existence of a sealed indictment, even to other u.s. until the person has been arrested will it be ok. what he does not say is that i have never been charged for an offense in sweden. there is a good chance for secret indictment in the u.s., and my lawyers do believe there is a secret indictment, that records from stratfor, obtained by jeremy hammond, revealed the existence of a secret indictment. there is no charge against me in relation to sweden. ae swedes refuse to provide guarantee to me, ecuador, that i will not be re-extradited to the u.s. when i go to sweden. they also say for mellon, also would bebefore, i
8:42 am
imprisoned without charges in heldn, initially incommunicado during their investigation. the head of the swedish supreme court has come out and said that it is normal and correct for police investigating an allegation to have a phone call with the person, take a statement, but they refused to do that, they refused to explain why they are even do that. wasthis whole matter investigated by the most senior member in sweden, who has now been appointed to head up investigations into raise rates -- race rights. one politician went to another

8:45 am
asylum in ecuador last year. thes currently in ecuadorian embassy in london. also the author of "cypherpunks: freedom and the future of the internet." about theo ask you icelandic supreme court and the around visa whole issue of how the money supply to wikileaks has been cut out of line. explain this latest development. me contextualize it. there are attacks on all fronts against wikileaks. criminal, reputation all, financial, in many different countries. there are also counterattacks that we have been making. in relation to this be set blockade, back in the late
8:46 am
2010, u.s. right wing politicians, like senator lieberman, contacted a number of financial institutions in the cut, and encouraged them to off funds to which it makes as a recipient of donations. mastercard,, visa, paypal, diners club, bank of america, and many others -- tender and financial organizations -- as a result of that pressure is engaged in extrajudicial financial blockades against us and our donors, much the same as they do to cuba, but without any legislative backing or administrative backing. even the u.s. treasury secretary timothy geithner eric
8:47 am
investigated whether we should be formally added to a u.s. blacklist and found there was no legal basis to do so. response, wikileaks has come up for the past year and a half or so, has been biddy -- busy litigating these financial institutions. we won in the lower courts and ice land, and in the supreme court in iceland just a few weeks ago. visavictory stated that .ust open up its gateway they had relented and have opened up the gate way. however, it has also activated what they call another clause in the contract, to shut us back down again on june 30.
8:48 am
between now and midnight june 30, people can donate directly to wikileaks, or otherwise they will have to come and engage in indirect mechanism. the free press foundation was set to do with these sorts of things. if you go to wikileaks .org/donate, you can see we have constructed ways to work around this blockade. unfortunately, they are all a little in direct, so it is a bit of an extra burden, because you do not see that your directly donating to wikileaks, but that you are donating to the free or to a numbern, of other foundations.
8:49 am
donations are tax-deductible. we also have had a lot of action in germany. officials have admitted to renewing our tax deductibility. and the position of my asylum here is such that we have been able to concentrate more of our resources on counterattack and have been successfully engaged in that battle. >> we want to switch gears right now. the ceo of google, eric schmidt, has come up with a new book. we wanted to ask you about a meeting that you had, june 23, 2011. you had a secret five-hour meeting with eric schmidt. at the time, you were under house arrest in england.
8:50 am
also in attendance was jared and lisaott malcomson, shields, vice president on the council on foreign relations. schmidt and cohen requested the meeting to discuss the ideas of the book that they put out. of your to go to part conversation with schmidt and malcomson. this is a recording that you made of that meeting. first time being played in national broadcasts, where you talk about this. a week fromnot mind google, which would be the patriot act request. i have spent quite a lot of
8:51 am
time on this question because i have given a number of criticisms, because they are non-transparent, because the judge's orders are hidden, and , and the answer is, and the laws are quite clear for google in the u.s.. >> we are fighting this case now with twitter. we have done three hearings now, trying to get the names of the other companies that have sealed these subpoenas in the grand jury in the u.s. that is how some of us became aware. i was not called -- >> this issue is concerning you? i can certainly pass on your request to our general counsel.
8:52 am
request is that google argued legally that wikileaks, as an organization, should be informed if the individuals are named. >> yes. >> i will pass that along. >> that is a part of the five- hour conversation you had with the ceo of google, eric schmidt, and scott malcomson, a speechwriter for susan rice. can you talk about the circumstances of the meeting, how you made the recording, and then talk about the substance of what we just heard? >> it is quite interesting to speculate as to the excuse of the meeting being about a book, but there was another side to it as well.
8:53 am
if you look at the way that eric schmidt and jared cohen have been going to north korea, we know with others, that the results of the meeting went very quickly back to the stock -- top of the state department. in some ways, they are becoming informal, deniable ministers for a section of u.s. power. , to is an interesting thing see go resting so heavily on the u.s. state department. >> i want to turn to an excerpt from the book from eric schmidt and jared cohen. in it, the author suggests
8:54 am
wikileaks has endangered lives. they write, neither wikileaks or groups like anonymous are terrorist organizations, although some might claim that hackers who engage in activities like stealing and publishing classified information online might as well be. the information released on which the leaks put lives at risk and inflicted serious diplomatic damage. the authors do not cite a source for their report but they do that trafficthose stolen materials from government enable or encourage espionage. comment onnge, your those remarks from eric schmidt? that engage in espionage want to keep the information they gained for themselves, in order to get competitive knowledge of
8:55 am
advantage over other states, and also to protect their source and operations. there is a reason why all those claims remained uninvited, because they are false. not even the pentagon, in fact, no government organization, claims that the activities of wikileaks have led to the loss of life of a single person, anywhere in the world. if we want to speculate about speculative risks, as opposed to talking about the hundreds of deaths andof cases -- that wikileaks documented, the u.s. being involved in one way or another, then we can go to a nato, reportedby seenn, that nato could not
8:56 am
movinge case of anyone diaries.ult of our war >> let me and with your response to the recently released documents theory -- documentary about wikileaks. this is the former director of the cia. >> everyone has secrets. some of the activities that nation states conduct in order to keep their people free need to be secret. if they are broadly known, you cannot accomplish your work.
8:57 am
let me be candid, we steal secrets. we steal other nation's secrets. one cannot do that above board and be successful for a very long period of time. >> michael hayden, former head of the cia. his statement, we steal secrets, the title that alex used for his documentary. your response, have you seen this documentary? >> the claim and the title are false. it is being spread everywhere, as i have seen it in all sorts of publications. by promotion is being done $2.5 million hijab on my reputation. what is the equivalent title? i make fraudulent films, the story of alex gibney.
8:58 am
in response, we have published the full transcript ahead of the movie release, showing line by line, how he edited statements, stitched them together, et cetera, and did not engage, it seems, into any fact checking. for example, i make a statement that begins with, what they say alex and then i quote gibney. we have just 10 seconds. we would like to ask you to stay with us for a post show discretion. we have many more questions to ask you. speaking to us from the
