military budget grows as less money flows to welfare benefits some americans are wondering whether their country is addicted to warfare the federal debt has reportedly hit its highest level in more than sixteen years. wiki leaks is the world's number one was a loyal web site but it's only been around for years so who or what was first and who really leaks top government secrets to whistleblowers up next you get the answers in our special interview stay with us. before there was ever wiki leaks there was cryptome the website cryptome dot org has been publishing information prohibited by governments this includes classified and secret documents on u.s. soil since the one nine hundred ninety six now the co-founder of that site joins me now to tell us more john young i want to thank you so much for joining us now as i said cryptome dot org has been in the business of making government secrets public

long before wiki leaks was tell us a little bit about the history and philosophy of your web site the site was set up principally to publish information about communication security which is the fundamental technology you for keeping secrets and it grew out of my participation of a group called for points which was also a group were trudeau saw and she learned his skills and so that this group was composed of very highly educated you knew scientists and technicians who were mostly working for corporations or government on the technology of communications security. and they knew that this was going to come into the private market as the cold war wound down and they want to get information out to the public about what was coming so we set up the site to make that information available from people who had access to it but did not want to be identified as a source now and all of the time that you've been doing this that's attracted the attention of the f.b.i. you i've read that you've said that f.b.i. f.b.i.

agents have come to visit you what do you think their their surveillance is about their use our side to see what's going on and so that's something that we've learned about sites like ours they're left in place in order to watch who comes there and see what kind of information we put up government authorities run the side show their own and so that when they watch other sites like ours we've learned this over time is that the reason we've got to be shut down is more useful to them to see what kind of attention is paid to this material we think they actually feed us material to put up because they're feeding information to wiki leaks and many other sites that operate the same way but in terms of their being able to see everything we're doing we know that we cannot keep any secrets about our site and we tell our readers you should not expect us to protect you because we are being watched and every other side is being watched just like we hear leaks is being watched so there is no secrecy on the internet and we make that clear that's the lesson we've learned and we now try to spread that. meant to be very aware of the internet which is a very large scale spying machine what really really motivates you though to expose

these secrets why is this your vocation why do you feel strongly that this needs to happen well because secrecy is the biggest. enemy of democracy. it is way over done and so threats to democracy are coming from the inside above from the secret keepers and that they need to be exposed to it to become a huge industry it's extremely expensive and you can't criticize it you can't get access to it because those who go inside that world are sworn to lifetime secrecy about it and they could never talk about it and i'm saying that's a system that is anti-democratic and it's a big business film thousands of firms have been drawn into it since nine one one because it's very lucrative and so we need to have less secrecy and congressman secrecy in the presidency you know secrecy in all forms of government let me ask you this though some of your criticism is about not vetting information publishing the addresses for example your home addresses of cia agents or detailed maps of

government facilities saying that this is in danger in people's lives this is welcoming attacks and giving people you know details on how to commit them and that there needs to be some kind of distinction between what's acceptable to put out there for the public and what's not what do you say to those critics well what i say to those critics of the public the the authoritative trick i can like they know better we don't pull that trick we don't think we know better than ordinary people about how to judge information but we know that authorities are always saying things like you just said you're going to for your putting lodger receive blood on your hands. are you know are you putting lives at risk by publishing the addresses of a cia agent at home this has been going on for years and they always pull this we've been told by former spies these are just standard reaction to this to get sympathy for them they in fact will leak that kind of information themselves you should know that governments leak more information all the rest of us put together for their own purposes like what give us an example well it's

a big secret. they get lax they run operations to leak secrets to test their own system their own distro employees or. are encouraged to leak secrets and to see what happens when they leave laptops around and so left behind by a drunk they leave papers around they put stuff on wiki leaks these are all well known techniques to a lot of the public create sympathy and get more funding so this is this is a business. and so that. we would like to say well why don't we talk about that is there a better way to do that than to than to deceive the public about this want to just own up to it for example that the u.s. military loses more secrets into the single organization but they never admit it because they say that would aid the enemy. i want to be candid about that that your system should be talking about how the government will leak information purposely to test their systems or to garner more support do you have an example of that well i can only say that there are schools to train people like bradley manning in doing

just that only internet it's at fort huachuca this is one of their training syllabuses that we publish as they. actually teach people how to run the sting operations by leaking information to test the system something called a team should be teams that do combat on the internet but leaking to stop the part hackers to do that hackers in fact are favorite employees now in such groups and so this is talked about it hacker conferences about how you get in on the if you can pick up good money by one b. going to inform two is running these test systems infiltrating systems. sending out false information. but this is not new this is been going on ever since sort of the spy world so if you say it's now the internet is now used for that purpose what does it achieve that well it achieves one funding if you don't have threat you don't need the system so leaking threats so then people say oh no this is scary this information that is randomly surprisingly gotten out so we need to go support

whatever our government is saying it needs in terms of ramping up homeland security funding or. you know breaching civil liberties in the name of protecting protecting against terrorism that sort of thing and that we are in fact is the latest one that perfectly but you could just call stop or security with a brand new cyber command has just been given a huge amount of money it's been in the works so ever since the internet popped up cyber security and so if we could leaks hadn't invented itself let's assume that it did it would have been invented because this is a goldmine for people who don't stop or security and don't forget most of this work is handed out to contractors and universities and research institutions and so is widely based. money flow and so without that. we would have no defense department we'd have no national security apparatus that would have less need for the president or congress so one of the things that's important to keep in mind here is that this is a deeply entrenched approach turns out i'm not i'm tired of i'm not anti-government

i'm anti secret government but are there some things that you know for national security reasons it's better for the public to not know no you know i think there's that you know i'm saying that needs to be more openly discussed right now it's a knee jerk reaction i see far too many sensible people saying that and then we need to talk more about what the internet threat is and what is cyber threat can you give an example and why are so many at least coming from inside the security systems rather than outside and why is that happening why your system so poorly secured that you can't control your own system now that's out there is documentation and one of the ways though you cover up your own faults it is to raise a new threat and blame other people and that's what we see coming with wiki leaks it's going to be blamed for of the state department's own failure to protect its own material or important the military is trying to deflect attention for how to bradley manning or whoever it was did this and we don't know for sure what bradley manning how did this happen this is supposed to be the most powerful most adept well funded but if you're a system in the world how did it happen. well first thing it's a it's

a sting operation it didn't happen the way it said it has all the earmarks of one what are the right average person what you know level employee was able to get access to a classified system that he just had just brought audio to take it and give it all to someone that's almost a joke in cybersecurity world because that's exactly what you do to test the system but maybe you've got to have some credibility that it's a real thing and so it's almost as though it was a plot to do exactly this who benefits in that scenario sopper com does they just got a huge funding and they were having trouble getting it on its feet. and so now they've got a huge fund they got a huge contract for handing out a conference i mentioned we're going to say and we did that in cancer cure networks was a was a business conference to contractors who want contracts to help secure the internet in response to the wiki leaks threat and others like it clarify what is site back on. cyber com as a p.r. stunt by the defense department the n.s.a.

extremely adept has been doing exactly what sopper khan does for many many years but because it is a very proper topic they have broken out they do thing called cyber command which will deal with stop or threats but it's still run by n.s.a. it's how to in a say the head of it is the head of in a say and so it's just a marketing stunt and so i think that cyber threats will probably have eventually replaced terrorists if you know there's been this claim that terrorists are using the internet to plot attacks on the so it's a kind of wedding of the two and so there's these kind of accusations of these new two or three question people about we could be speak a terrorist is expected for that pattern it's a repeat of the red menace and all these other kinds of fabricated ministers and so now they have that now they've got a fabulous opportunity to say well the enemy is already inside the us and they're on the internet because we set it up it's ours and there are they've infiltrated what are people that would listen to your take on that and say that just sounds like a conspiracy theory well conspiracy theory was invented by the spies no one knows

more more conspiracy theory than spies do national security out of brightest cooks up conspiracy theories all the time but they put out the story that is just conspiracy theory as though it's contemptible but in fact they're the ones who cooked up the threats that are far more complex and bizarre than anything we ordinary people could ever cook up and they could begins to fight it so there are almost diabolically conspiratorial so let me call myself a skeptic and i'm willing to learn welcome criticism i don't mind these terms of being a distant conspiracy theories those are all throwaway terms as obama says off my shoulder. don't be fooled by that there are much worse terms coming thank you so much for speaking with us thank you.

a question of time but while he waits to find out how many more years a lot to spend behind bars the already jailed former russian tycoon found guilty of embezzling billions of dollars he's currently serving a sentence for tax evasion and fraud. russia's prime minister slams the airport and airline personnel for what he calls unacceptable behavior thousands of stranded passengers in moscow say they were left to fend for themselves this after bad weather conditions temporarily shut down the airport causing severe delays and cancellations at other airports. and the u.s. military budget grows as less money flows to welfare benefits some americans are wondering whether they're paying too much to fill the nation's war chest the federal debt has reportedly hit its highest level in more than sixty years. sports

is up next stay with us here on r.t. . hello welcome to the sports thank you for joining me and this is what we have coming up. leading the way the defending champions act possibly win it in formats a leg magnitogorsk top of the kontinental hockey league. while skiing laden rushes all the claims her first big success by winning fifty kilometer individual races the boss carried. out the saints march on in new orleans come from behind to beat the atlanta falcons seventeen fourteen playoff spot in the n.f.l. . start with ice hockey where defending champions are gone top of the kontinental hockey league after beating wrestler one this it goes away three nil and boss of

previously lost three times this season but three goals in the second period because sounds like victory elsewhere so bears make it overtime to beat struggling that's like novokuznetsk two one one that he makes were three one witnesses beliefs this guy had no problems against look his new graphic here in las vegas before him for two. game of unguarded scored a call late in the period between three to six in america. staying on the ice but moving to cheerio hockey where the all star team of the n.h.l. has left the u.s. to take part of an exhibition tour canceled in put that off reports. well the junior initial team ready dropped the ball cleanly at the world championships in the us in the other team from russia is about to start their campaign in north america russia probably has as many hockey players as brazil has footballers and this team called the red stars was formed from the best players in the am a chance a youth branch of the continental hockey league we consider that our world is very

small right now because new information technology is at its core and for us to. be the other. our partners. competitors in this process to develop a general ha i however the extreme weather conditions nearly spoiled the tour as the team couldn't leave for the us on the twenty sixth of december and spend the whole day in the airport so one feet short of the six mentioned band had to be cancelled how i want to fly to get back and share you and the red stars when you landed in boston on the twenty eight and started playing straight away after two matches in the us they make sure all star team will have to canada for three more games however the tour is not only about promoting the league the other one is to get it right practice our players for them to understand what is its north american jerry hockey. nothing american ranks and north american attitude to hopping

on the other hand and to show the north american people. what is it rough and for hockey how we play out of all of the players who gain valuable experience with each mitchell matches and probably get a chance to be called into national teams at the n.h.l. is just two years old and it's a great opportunity for us to play abroad rather trailblazers and dependent on the foreman's such too as will either become a regular occurrence is a not you don't need to start this journey is not to. get to win anyway it will be very interesting to think his family is in canada. despite it being an inaugural event this tour is already a success as it marks a new step in russia cooperating with their north american counterparts and the development of junior hockey in russia can stand but out of our chief. skiing now and all the middle of us has won the fifteen kilometer individual race at the track

event in the moscow region the victory also ensures the russian has qualified for the prestigious three stage tour disc a tournament which starts this weekend because of that and the rest of the participants have to compete not only with each other but also the treacherous weather conditions as well the track was covered with ice and this is how to work hard not to fall over the highest ranked group was the last to start because of it took the standings throughout eventually winning the race by over thirty seconds from the closest rival and afterwards the twenty nine year old said it was a big triumph for her. you know it's a very important tournament for me now i've qualified for the door diski and still hold to get into the national team for the world championships fortunately i managed to cope with the track. football and while. now grabbing the headlines in the english premier league they still have some way to go to match and reconciles case which of them poor feet caught up with a former manchester united star who looks back at his time abroad as well as

a future coaching career in russia. thank you very much for joining me today so tell me what you're up to at the moment sort of taking some coaching badges for a future career as a head coach. and just work. small team. more school it's my contract finish low to look at what a new job but it's certainly usual route because normally so makes players famous ex players such as self they try to take a route straight into a premier league club but you. third division now is a second division club zeal why did you choose this route to not go to it's my opinion that this is a good idea what works starting with small club because if you see too many coaches when they just start to be club problems. drop. and start with your season. so composition. can ship.

good good good lads good team really were injured here what you need is coaching it's a lot different to being a player obviously i mean how frustrating is it sometimes when you're playing you can always try to get your ideas across on the field but when you coaching you to you're dependent on eleven people on the field playing how you want to see how frustrating is that at times. is a big difference when you play and coaching and also need some. more concentration how. good contact with players if you. could pose is a good atmosphere and there's a little which is important for the team. and for the players and the important political which is what's happening is my team in the zoo is. good. good good team good lots of good up my spirit there's a little while we. are season. fourteen position

this season with. really important for us i mean obviously for me also i'm a man united states other big clubs around europe you must have quite a few coaching tapes to still keep in contact with likes of alex ferguson except for a year which is a concert with alex where. you know i could play champions league. final in moscow a game show she will go to the hotel where. it will be. dark to explore saw second game play against. still quite likely players and the old players. feel. if paul scholes got in there will. i still. remember a good four years when you know manchester united is. a club. good

good players really hard to play together with these players but a lot of your former teammates like the steve bruce. had actually gone home to have very successful managerial careers i mean if you can call it that would be marcie's for instance the remark asking for advice they give you tips or no it's not really going to work with a lot of people because larry see. you should play munchers united. not accuse more . molecules. of course contact with him to miss it in a way i mean the best times of your life do you think when you were playing in england yeah he said because it's nice country and good to good france people will football was important for any any county when. people are football ok thanks very much and pray for your time you're welcome thank you very much neal . american football mad in the n.f.l.
