information out of the real world today anyone can find out what information the government the military and bankers have kept under lock and key secrecy is the biggest. emitter markers or is wiki leaks the dream of an idealist or a tool to manipulate global politics through him words on and on anger. what motivates julian assange does he want to change the world or is he just seeking fame does he act on his own or is someone else behind wiki leaks and will it's a whistle blowing revelations change the world forever. kunis january twentieth a decision with millions of residents descends into chaos thousands of protesters take to the streets in downtown genius to demand the immediate resignation of president ben ali who has ruled the country for over twenty three years after

several days of tensions resulting bloodshed ben ali had to flee the capital on january the fifteenth is. the events that took place in the north african country in january where nudity dubbed the jasmine revolution but the choosing and coup also has another name in the wiki revolution. this man is a professor at one of the universities inch eunice. as a political activist he prefers to be known by his nickname that's rudolph he didn't take part in the attacks on government buildings but he said to be one of the main driving forces of the revolution. after registering his website. he began posting material concerning committee of from diplomatic cables in arabic and french the cables were made public by julian assange of twenty ten. at the first time with seventy seven thousand documents and then we've got others. the

sensation as they said it was really very very very interesting to note the true facts that the u.s. government is waiting when i used to leave the us government was. really not support the finale for human rights violation. discontent with a president who would look good in power for too long had been brewing in tunisia for quite some time public anger erupted after students mohamed bouazizi set himself on fire and publish stories of runaway corruption eroding the top echelon of the tunisian government. after when the. week. i came and how many did what he did. i think tunisia was a major to. start to change what's happened in tunisia and also in

egypt and it's happening in a few other places these diplomatic cables from the people. they were actually right and not trusting in thinking that there is something that is corrupt. daniel don't steinberg's shams the public spotlight he's going to stay in the shade although in actual fact he's just as much a godfather of the wiki leaks project as julian assange js. yes my name is daniel smith this is julia son and we're here to make a short presentation about what we can least project what if we don't daniel don't steinberg could be described as co-creator of the internet's most scandalous web site so that together he understands took the idea of creating a site where any person can safely post secret information anonymously and made it a reality with you weeks i heard about wiki leaks in september two thousand and seven and in november two thousand and seven i first got in touch with julian. he

was already working on wiki leaks out on the or i asked if they needed any help. and started working on a couple of topics john young registered the week domain name in late december two thousand and six although young had already created something similar to wiki leaks several years before previously he used the cryptome dot org site for publishing classified material secrecy as if. your real democracy. really is way over good and so threats to the obviously are coming from your side about from the secret people and that they need to be exposed during the first few years of wiki leaks the resource was treated as a project created by internet fringes we can lease lives off donations but they were inconsistent at the time. or two years we were one and a half years we tried to build up we can fix as a project me published

a lot of documents and try to get funding and it was very difficult for us so we have all put in our private funding into the project and tried to sustain it but that really didn't work out so well at least not an infinite amount and. this is nuclear shelter you built during the second world war and modernized during the cold war so we have equal structure to a data centers of welcome you know and i will show you the facility this bunker in stockholm was built to protect swedish army personnel from a nuclear attack telltale reminders of its original purpose can be seen all over the place. we're digitally these type was actually in submarines and so they are jorma submarines from the beginning and the alarm in case of drop of the alarm starts and alarmist.

today behind at least thick walls and heavy doors there are services carrying thousands of websites some of them store wiki leaks data. this is the cabin up on you feel lonely are busy these days to watch it because it's over swedish law is provide better protection against attacks on wiki leaks than the bunker's malls or its security system they'll only flow through the roof becoming life while you must pay or feel they must be. given to make material there for the wrong. assumption his team and to be very careful about the security of their service after this video was posted on their site surfaces sixty five.

there are. back in two thousand and seven american army servicemen were caught on camera shooting dead a reuters reporter and his driver in a baghdad suburb after they mistook them from terrorists three years after the tragedy when he leads published the video sparking a massive international right now. it shows you errors in the internal judicial me it isn't the united states will it shows you it reports about court who is insurgent and who is not in a third of that appear in the media following the bit where people are killed cannot be trusted several months later in the summer of twenty ten the site and its partner outlets published the afghan dossier was. wiki leaks itself called the afghanistan war diaries they contained eighty thousand on the spot reports about the course of the campaign the zone said they had received the classified

information from a man employed at the u.s. department of defense. to cover this six year period of war ninety three thousand reports and almost every instant serious incident here with four three i was a little bit with the trial and location number of people. as soon as the afghan dossier was made public asuncion his team soared to instant fame but scathing criticism soon followed the most common i.q. zation was that the names of afghans collaborating with allied troops and details concerning american agents could not be redacted from the reports the taliban were quick to pledge to kill all those who had helped the u.s. army. there was appears mostly be reintegrated operating where we're looking at anything seriously. we didn't hold back could be in thousand reports for them because they had sort of i think it's just that maybe they can take that sort of

aerial if urged the white house across the resistance area a real. white house. if the west. every week once a week we're meeting in just fifty years the party leadership we just had a half day meetings as well and leadership a little bird has taken over the party leadership. we're wrapping up breakfast and discussing how to live all for the next couple years. swedish internet pirates have no office of vero and that's why they meet in this cafe in stockholm the movement has held wiki leaks greatly by sharing its knowledge on creating a growing network of mirror sites as well as decoding and processing information. when we stepped in to support wiki leaks in august of last year they will not us know as they all know. they have received aid from thousands and thousands of people so they are not. our aid doesn't make as much difference

today as it did know that said however it was still the swiss pirate party then went in and brought wiki leaks the wiki leaks domain online and went offline during that hectic week of information. similar projects have been launched around the world including russia. most people in russia don't speak english that's why we wanted to make wiki leaks documents available to all russians online so we set about spotting reports of interest to people living in russia and countries of the commonwealth of independent states such reporters are either fed to translation websites or the people themselves translate them after receiving them via email russian pirates have launched a similar site called leaks and largely mimics what a sam has been doing it wiki leaks

a few leaks have already been made public. the thought of what the informers will post their reports on the internet site we will know absolutely nothing about them we see the whole thing as a black box churning out documents from time to time. there's a big question though is how are they going to send their stuff. in the summer of twenty ten a song together the circle of accredited journalists for wiki leaks these people were supposed to get the news before it would appear on the site by doing this wanted to secure the leaks and give them greater exposure. the first russian publication to disclose wiki leaks data was the magazine russian reporter of the same time other magazines and newspapers had also received such invitations but decided against getting involved in wiki leaks risky business. at

what is clearly the newspapers running a triple race first they may have suspected that they might get involved in somebodies gamble considering that the material had not been properly assessed second they may have had their doubts about how that would affect relations with the us embassy and third they may have been worried by the uncertain prospects of relations with the russian leadership of this before and syria which chiefly concerned russia was published by russian journalists in parallel with the site the first weeks of a record number of visitors people were hungry for a sensational scoop additional shower frankly when we saw the first set of documents sense in response to our request we didn't know how we should go about them at first glance many of them were unlikely to arouse interest you have to break them very carefully to find something anywhere near a scoop i think some in our audience had been looking forward to wild stories about u.f.o.'s or people devouring children when they found nothing of the car ride so they simply turned away from us. after the publication of the afghan dossier with

the links website and its founder a song to become the world. so main newsmakers the australian spent most of his spare time travelling giving interviews and taking part in different seminars with those words julian again most welcome to stockholm and the floor is yours but. it's unlikely that julian assange speaking before the journalists of this seminar and some calm could have full seen that in a few months he would be in jail with no would have imagined that his close companions would deserted over this visit to the swedish capital would lead to his downfall. culture is the same of you i can tell you what i do a lot harder to limit the was all worth tell kids if they drift to the right all across europe and the us more and more people are giving the political right a new look and more times than not it is the.

more news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. giant corporations are the day. by august twenty ten julian assange had become the world's most popular media figure the wiki leaks founder savor the glory of being alone fine to undersell adversary to the world superpower all attempts by the u.s. authorities to launch a prosecution against mr assad proved unsuccessful and wiki leaks founder had tried to be legally irreproachable until he decided to attend a seminar in stockholm in august twenty ten. investigators would later establish than during his visit to sweden mr saunders met two young women. he spent the night

with both of them a short while later both young women accused the wiki leaks founder of sexual assault. they went to the police primarily the discuss with the police to tell the police or to have been through and to get advice or try would do and when they tell their stories both of them separately from each other and they tell the stories to the police the police officer realized there telling a story concerning a crime. according to daniel don't try to beg the sun has always had a weakness for women we were at a conference and would have asked and he told a lot of people at our conference that he has children on every continent the swedish authorities put the songs on the international wanted list by which time the wiki leaks founder who'd landed in britain many described the criminal

prosecution against him as politically motivated swedish lawyers claim that it was a routine criminal case. it's nonsense it has nothing whatsoever to do with the wiki leaks actually my two clients are very much in favor of the vehicle leaks that's why they were attending seminar or lecture from and this still are for we think it is unfortunately a rather common case of sexual abuse we have these cases all over again in sweden great britain everywhere in the world and this is a case like any other with a difference that one suspect or person of the song. at the same time tensions inside the wiki leaks team rose to the surface songes friend and colleague daniel don't like berg said he could no longer work with him he withdrew from the project along with many others. i'm really very sorry to see the project winding up the

problem is that julian is intent on cracking down on any dissent as a matter of fact now he's one of the kind of people that we've been trying to oppose so i quit at the right moment after that negative trend had emerged within the wiki leaks team. aside from ideological differences bergen a song also had a personal conflict when berg introduced the sons to his future wife. disapproved of fish choice. i fell in love quite immediately and my friend a bottle and the only thing the apple requirement was that i should try to find as much. as i can get so that if she annoys me i have something in my hands against her. and that was a really weird recommendation but the loss of half of his team was not the most serious consequence of the split for a zone much more important was an archive of three thousand unpublished secret materials which bergen the other defectors took away with them for bag this data is

a form of insurance. daniel had all the reason in the world to fear a zone that was enraged by his betrayal soames had even threatened his former friend he once said if i ever put it in danger. it would hunt me down and kill me. and he even repeated that threat a couple of times while it's others that estimable. on december the first twenty ten into polish and a warrant for saunders arrest a week later the wiki leaks chief voluntarily showed up at a police station where they arrested him a week later he was released on bail and the criminal charges against him were never dropped. but thank you. to all the people around the world. that the. lord

i see while being away. shortly after he was bailed a son shocked the world with a statement that it was now the turn for the banks to shed their secrets denounced the publication on wiki leaks of huge volumes of information on private accounts in swiss banks on january the seventeenth two thousand and eleven a former employee of the julius by a bank and velma publicly handed over to a sound kill disks with information on the personal bank accounts but i want it and there's no it. really fucked it up again. in order that. i should investigate it and making a decision on it. yes bromberg works as a journalist for the financial times specializing in the subject of bank information fast investigated the two thousand and seven purchase by the german government of disks with information from anonymous sources on german citizens

hiding their money abroad there were seven hundred or seven hundred seventy german names on some of our go to court all of them had to pay money back in the year two thousand and eight a german state court because of this of the more than one billion of europe that. the method proved to be effective even depositors whose names were not on the desk field possible criminal prosecutions thousands of germans who preferred not to wait for a subpoena paid their taxes. in twenty ten uncle america's government once again purchased from anonymous sources another disk with similar information on deposits of german citizens in swiss banks it helped her to return almost two billion euros to the state treasury many consider these tax stories to be a direct consequence of the wiki leaks effect.

comparable because on the one side or sell that out of us or lots of money or millions of money on the other side you have wiki leaks and so that's a nonprofit so there are people who their intention is different but exposing the bank secrets subsequently transformed wiki leaks into a completely non transparent organization in financial terms but songs is the only person who knows everything about the whereabouts of the huge donations made to the organization. but there were other money trails where no one you know actually other than julian where it came from and what it was used for. and i think as a just natural if you're working in a team or maybe five to ten people. there's no need to have secrets you know these are fields like that and when you ask someone what's happening to the money in australia and how much money is there any and that person tells you or you don't

have to know. after his rift with a songe bird wrote a book titled inside wiki leaks and launched his own website called openly the bag site is different and will operate according to the black box principle the website will receive material from anonymous informers but will dispatch them to traditional media outlets for further publication and will be impossible to enter the website and read the information first hand. everything is simple and transparent wants to ditch spy schemes published under self advertising which is sound seems to like so much this image is what julian wants to create because it characterizes him like the superstar. somewhere between the hacker and the freedom of information and the james bond or modern times and this is very appealing you know this is what people think they should. but this is exactly one

of the reasons why we left the project because it has become more about all. than the actual information. that. was. suffered ministration was introduced to the old universities in china zero after the revolution the students didn't have time to attend classes in the first weeks following the coup but they were too busy debating how to protect the progress made in the january revolution. beautifully that over evolution you can succeed in all its goals. your participation and your state but thinking by discussing the meeting every day about the new government had me under . me i would be as. if it's just it's the journey it is

evolution. each of the students took part in the overthrow of the ben ali regime many of them took to the streets after they had read information on corruption scrupulously accumulated on the website kindle eeks. you can see that when early in the regime of. the first victim. of these a few critics astrobiology his friend an assistant some event or the ones who had prepared the ground for that revolution they like to walk in the old port town of bizet pirates and use it as a stopping place hundreds of years ago that unique founders like in themselves to such pirates of centuries past. because words from. freedom for transparency and so for human rights and for democracy both internet activists agree that julian assange invented a truly effective method of influencing real politics fire the internet is the

proof maybe it was. the leaks that have been published and really. by would play the role we don't know we cannot make a. big it was but it does help at the con fair and come and the thing is instead of about the corruption of the family and close out of the family sure we. know that our new tradition and. heart certain things. later that same day the streets of choosey is swelled with crowds of people again. but this time around they were not protesting it was a celebration in egypt president hosni mubarak had been forced to step down under the pressure from millions of people another internet revolution had achieved its

goal the revolution as you know on the the pros engine is here has already swept across several countries and it's anyone's guess who shows it may reach in the near future.
