10:36 am
and in november two thousand and seven i first got in touch with julian. he was already working on weekend except that i'm a guy so i asked if they needed any help. started working on a couple of topics john young registered the we may name in late december two thousand and six young had already created something similar to wiki leaks several years before previously he used the crypto middle site for publishing classified material secrecy is the biggest. fear to be able to. get its way over good and so threats to democracy are coming from your side apart from the secret people. know 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 leaks lives off donations and they were inconsistent at the time. for about two years we won one and
10:37 am
a half years we tried to build up we can he said as a project we published a lot of documents we tried to get funding and it was all very difficult 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 of money and. this is real clear shelter you built during the second world war and modernized during the cold war so we have reconstructed it so it would take us ultra so 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 this type was actually in submarines and so they are jorma submarines from the beginning and the alarm in case of trouble the alarm
10:38 am
starts alarmists actually. or. today behind at least thick walls and heavy doors the reserves carrying thousands of websites some of them store wiki leaks data. this is the cabin up and you feel down to see these two these two hundred fifty servers swedish laws provide better protection against attacks on wiki leaks than the bunkers morals or a security system they'll only flow through film routes are becoming higher while you must pay your feel they must keep. your weekly material therefore you have all of the. assumption his team had to be very careful about the security of their service after this video was posted on their site surface to stick to.

iraq. 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 with the leaks published the video sparking a massive international right now one that it shows you errors in the internal judicial myth and it's and it's no and it shows you with reports about war who is insurgent and who is not an insurgent here in the media following events where people are killed cannot be trusted several months later in the summer of twenty ten the site and its partner outlets publish the afghan dossier or what. wiki leaks itself called the afghanistan war diaries they contained eighty thousand on the small to reports about the course of the campaign the zone said they had received
10:40 am
the classified information from a man employed at the u.s. department of defense. it covers the six year period of war and ninety two thousand and almost every instant serious incident he was about three i was able to give the with the authority and location number of people killed as soon as the afghan dossier was made public to sones and his team swords 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 had not been redacted from the reports the taliban were quick to pledge to kill all those who had helped the u.s. army. there was appears the mostly the media bring it up i mean where we're looking at the issue seriously and whether we did hold back the thousand reports or four because they had that sort of i think they should it's not just the raid and i
10:41 am
think it's very good for the aerial purge the white house i threw out their resistance in very very mature way or are we publish the white house and or if if that request. every week once a week we're meeting in this cafe here's the party leadership we've just had a half day meetings as well and the leadership a little bit has taken over the party leadership. we're wrapping up breakfast and discussing how to move over the next couple years. swedish internet pirates have no office of their own 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 step in to support wiki leaks in august of last year they were not as known as they are know today they have received aid from thousands of thousands of people
10:42 am
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 the. broadway collates the wiki leaks domain online that went offline during that hectic week of information was. 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 of loans to similar site called

leaks it largely mimics water sam has been doing it wiki leaks a few leaks have already been made public. i thought 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 it is the big question though is how are they going to send their stuff. recently 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 if 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. that
10:44 am
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 u.s. embassy and third they may have been worried by the uncertain prospects of relations with the russian leadership of the. material which chiefly concerned russia was published by russian journalists in parallel with the site the first weeks or a record number of visitors people were hungry for a sensational scoop additional shower frankly when we saw the first set of documents since the response to our request we didn't know how we should go about them and first glance many of them were unlikely to arouse interest you have to read 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 kind so they simply turned away from us. after the publication of the afghan dossier wiki leaks

website and its founder resound become the world. may newsmakers the australian spent most of his spare time travelling giving interviews and taking part in different seminars those words again welcome to thoughtful and of course yes but. it's unlikely that julian assange on speaking before the journalists at this seminar in so called could a full scene that in a few months he would be in jail nor would have imagined that his close companions would desert him although there's a visit to the swedish capital would lead to his downfall. cultures that so much i can tell you a lot already one of them was worked up to the drift to the right across europe and the us born or people are given the political right when you look and more times than not it is the. downloads the official anti allocation jaw i phone or i

pod touch from the i q sampson. jollity life on the go. video on demand exceeds my old costs an r.s.s. feeds now in the palm of your. question. dot com. by august twenty ten in a song to become the world's most popular media figure the wiki leaks founder savor the glory of being alone find on the soul adversary of the world superpower all attempts by the us authorities to norms for prosecution against mr ozon proved unsuccessful and wiki leaks founder had tried to be legally irreproachable until he decided to attend a seminar in stone come in august twenty ten. investigators would later establish them during his visit to sweden mr saunders met two young women. he spent the night
10:47 am
with both of them a short while later both young women accused the wiki leaks founder of sexual assault. they went through the police. primarily to discuss with the police to tell the police what they have been through and get vice what shall we do and when they tell their stories both of them separately from each other and they tell their stories to the police the police officer realized they're telling a story concerning a crime. according to daniel don't show i'd beg a son has always had a weakness for women we were at a conference in budapest and he told a lot of people at that 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 had landed in britain many describe the criminal prosecution
10:48 am
against him as politically motivated swedish lawyers claimed that it was a routine criminal case. it's nonsense it has nothing whatsoever to do with this actually my two clients are very much in favor of the leaks that's why they were attending the seminar or lecture from seoul and they still are for. it is unfortunately a rather common case of sexual abuse we have these cases all over again in sweden and great britain everywhere in the war and this is a case like any other with the difference that the suspected person. at the same time tensions inside the wiki leaks team rose to the surface the songs his friend and colleague daniel don't like berg said he could no longer work with them he withdrew from the project along with many others it was thought i'm really very sorry to see the project winding up the problem is that julian is intent on
10:49 am
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 songe also had a personal conflict when berg introduced her sons to his future wife. disapproved of his choice. i fell in love quite immediately and i told julian as my friend about it and the only thing he had to recommend was that i should try to find as much dirt on her 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 song much more important was an archive of free thousand unpublished secret materials which bergen the other defectors took away with them for bag this data is
10:50 am
a form of insurance. daniel had all the reason in the world to fear a son's who was enraged by his betrayal persones had even threatened his former friend he once if i ever put him in danger. he would hunt me down and kill me. and he even repeated that threat a couple of times a waltz others that estimable. on december the first twenty ten into polish and a warrant for sunday's 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 but the criminal charges against him were never dropped. but thank you. to all people around the world. but. it's
10:51 am
a lot of whites while being away. shortly after he was bailed assan 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 window film publicly handed over to a son to discuss with information on personal bank accounts but i want to do it for . the wiki leaks budget again. in order. to investigate and making a decision on a. yes brumberg works as a journalist for the financial times specializing in the subject of bank information faffed investigated the two thousand and seven purchase by the german government of disks with information from anonymous sources on german citizens
10:52 am
hiding their money abroad there are seven hundred or seven hundred seventy german names on it some of the hard to go to court all of them had to pay money back in the year two thousand and eight the german state court because of this and the more than one billion of europe that. the message proved to be effective even depositors whose names were not on the disk feared possible criminal prosecution thousands of germans who preferred not to wait for a subpoena paid their taxes. in twenty ten under the moguls 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. not really
10:53 am
comparable because on one side the people or sell that are to us or lots of money for millions of money on the other side you have wiki leaks and so this is not profit so there are people who their intention is different but exposing the bank secrets subsequently transformed wiki leaks into a completely nontransparent 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 no one knew actually other than julian where it came from and what it was used for. and i think as a natural if you're working in a team of maybe five to ten people that. there's no need to have secrets you know all of these fears like that and when you ask someone what's happening to the money in australia and how much money is there. and that person tells you or you don't
10:54 am
have to know. after his rift with the sand bird wrote a book titled inside wiki leaks and launched his own web site called open leaks but begs site is different it 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 it will be impossible to enter the website and read the information first hand. everything is simple and transparent clegg wants to ditch spy schemes publish it and the south advertising which is sound seems to like so much this image as well julian wants to create because it characterizes him like the superstar. somewhere between a hacker and the freedom of information and the james bond of not on time and this is very appealing you know this is what people think they should. this is exactly
10:55 am
one of the reasons why when left the project because it has become more about this all and. then all of the actual information there's there. was a. sense of ministration was introduced to all 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 the only good listen you can succeed in all its goals. are participating and steeper thinking but discussing being every day about the new government had me and you know to do with me i would visit the us to succeed if it was. each of the
10:56 am
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 cuny leaks. we can see when early in the regime of. the first victim. of these who kicks astrobiology his friend an assistant. or the ones who had prepared the ground for that revolution they launch a war in the old port town of bizet or pirates and use it as a stopping place hundreds of years ago the junior leagues founders like in themselves to such pirates of centuries past. the more pirates but maybe because words for. freedom for transparency and so authority human rights and democracy both internet activists agree that julian assange invented a truly effective method of influencing real politics via the internet as
10:57 am
a proof maybe it was. the leaks that have been published in the leaks and by would play the role of we don't know we cannot maybe. it was but it does help but the. thing is instead of about the corruption of the family being early and closed and out of the family sure we. are a new partition and. a hard to hide certain things. later that same day the streets of community has 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 many hundreds of people another internet revolution had achieved
