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 has. yes my name is daniel schmidt this is julia son we're here to make a short presentation about how we can least project what we do daniel don't steinberg could be described as co-creator of the internet's most scandalous web site 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 all of them but with all the seven i first got in touch with julian. he was already working on wiki leaks at the one that i saw i asked if they needed any help. and started working on

a couple of topics john young registered the we keep 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 is a. good real democracy. that is way over good and so threats through the atmosphere are coming from your side of the secret keepers of the three 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 leak lives off donations but they were inconsistent with the time. or two years we were one and a half years we tried to build up we can exist as a project me published a lot of documents and try 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

12:38 am
thousands of websites some of them store wiki leaks data. this is the south enough you feel down to see these things to watch it because it's sort of a swedish noise provide better protection against attacks on wiki leaks than the bunkers walls or a security system they'll only flow through go through the becoming one of your feel they must be able to make it a material there could be a problem the. assumption is team and be very careful about the security of their service after this video was posted on their site traffic through six denied. their right. back in two thousand and seven american army servicemen were caught on camera shooting dead a reuters reporter and his driver in

once a week we're meeting of this if eight years of party leadership we've just had a half day meeting says we're under the leadership electoral body has taken over the party leadership. we're wrapping up breakfast and discussing how to move on for 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 mira sites as well as decoding and processing information. when we step in to support we collate in august of last year they will not us know as they are low today 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 went in and brought
12:42 am
wiki leaks the wiki leaks domain online one that went offline during that hectic week of information. similar projects have been 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 where the people themselves translate them after receiving them via email. russian pirates of launch to similar site leaks it largely mimics water sam has been doing it with the leaks a few leaks have already been made public. but not the informers will post their reports on the internet site. we don't know absolutely nothing about them we see
12:43 am
the whole thing as a black box churning out documents from time to time but 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 the songs 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
12:44 am
the us embassy and third they may have been worried by the uncertain prospects of relations with the russian leadership as for 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 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 read them very carefully to find something anywhere near a scoop and i think some in our audience have been looking forward to wild stories about u.f.o.'s or people devouring children when they found nothing of the car and 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. main newsmakers the australian spent most of his spare time travelling giving interviews and taking part in different seminars with those
12:45 am
words again welcome to stockholm and the floor is yours but. it's unlikely that julian assange speaking before the journalists of this seminar and so on call could have foreseen that in a few months he would be in jail with no would have imagine that his close companions would desert him although this visit to the swedish capital would lead to his downfall. culture is the same of like intelligible bottom of the cars were captives of the drift to the right across europe and the u.s. more and more people are giving the political right a new look and more times than not it is the.
12:46 am
by august twenty ten julian a song should become the world's most popular media figure the wiki leaks founder savor the glory of being alone finder and the soul adversary to 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 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 for the police. primarily to discuss with the police to tell the police what they have been through
12:47 am
and to get advice or try we 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 they're telling a story concerning a crime. according to daniel don't shine a bag a stone has always had a weakness for women we were at a conference and would have passed 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 had landed in britain and he 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. that's why they were attending seminars lecture from seoul and they still are for. it is
12:48 am
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 the suspect the person. at the same time tensions inside the wiki leaks team rose to the surface. his friend and colleague daniel dominic burke said he could no longer work with him he withdrew from the project along with many others it was all i really very sorry to see the project winding up the problem is that julian is intent on cracking down on any dissenters 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 bergner saundra also had
12:49 am
a personal conflict when during introduce the sons to his future wife. disapproved of his choice. i fell in love quite immediately and the poll julian is my friend and the only thing he had to recommend 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 him. that was a really weird recommendation for the loss of half of his team was not the most serious consequence of the split for a son's a 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 assume he was enraged by his betrayal persones had even threatened his former friend. he wants if i ever put in danger. you would hunt me down and kill me. and he
12:50 am
even repeated the threat a couple of times while it's others that asked them about it. on december the first twenty ten into polish and a warrant for a soldier's arrest and we 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. the whole people around the world. that we. thought it might seem while being away. shortly after he was bailed the son shocked the world with a statement that it was now the turn for the banks to share their secrets he announced the publication on wiki leaks of huge volumes of information on private accounts in swiss banks on january the seventeenth two thousand and eleven
12:51 am
a former employee of the julius by a bank window film publicly handed over to her son to discuss with information on the personal bank accounts but i want to do it and there's no it. like it again. in order to. investigate and making a decision on it. yes brian bush works as a journalist for the financial times specializing in the subject of bank information theft he 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 are seven hundred or seven hundred seventy german names on it some of them to go to court all of them have to pay money back in the year two thousand and eight the german state got because of this and the more they
12:52 am
run billion of europe. the message proved to be effective even depositors whose names were not on the desk field possible criminal prosecution thousands of germans who preferred not to wait for a subpoena paid their taxes. in twenty ten. government months 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. a pretty comparable because on one side the people sell that are to us for lots of money or millions of money on the other side you have weekly and services nonprofit so there are people who their intention is different but exposing the bank secrets subsequently transformed wiki leaks into
12:53 am
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 where no one knew actually other than julian where it came from and what it was used for and i think that just natural if you're working in a team of maybe five to ten people at the time there's no need to have secrets you know at least it feels like. and when you ask someone what's happening to the money in australia and how much money is there really and the person tells you or you don't have to know. after his rift with the songe bird wrote a book titled inside wiki leaks and launched his own website called open leagues the bag 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
12:54 am
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 self advertising which is so on seems to like so much this image is what religion wants to create because it characterizes. our. somewhere between a hacker and freedom of information and the james bond of modern times and this is very appealing you know this is what people think they should. this is exactly one of the reasons why we left the project because it has become more about this all and. then all of the actual information. that.
12:55 am
was left. of ministration was introduced at all universities in china zero after the revolution but students didn't have time to attend classes in the first weeks following the coup that they were too busy debating how to protect the progress made in the january revolution. you are free to over evolution you didn't succeed in all it's always the your participation and your stupid thinking that discussing thinking every day about the new government had me and the real me i would visit. it's just exceed your view that it was. each of the students took part in the overthrow of the ben ali regime and many of them took to the streets after they had read information on corruption scrupulously accumulated on the website. you can see that when any individual.
12:56 am
is the first victim. of these two key dicks astrobiology his friend an assistant. or the ones who had prepared the ground for that revolution they want to walk in the old port town of desert pirates and use it as a stopping place hundreds of years ago and she makes founder's like in themselves to such pirates of centuries past they are not any more pirates maybe because words from. freedom for transparency and so for human rights. or democracy both internet activists agree that julian assange invented a truly effective method of influencing real politics fire the internet the growth maybe it was. the leaks that have been published and really and i would play that we don't know we cannot maybe. it was but it does help to confirm and come and. about the corruption of the family and
12:57 am
close member of the family sure we. are not for this. so hard certain things. later that same day the streets of tunis he 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 millions of people another internet revolution had achieved its goal the revolution new tsunami that rose in tunisia has already swept across several countries and it's anyone's guess who shows it may reach in the near future .
