place for victory day celebrations here in russia thousands of. threats square in the final rehearsal before monday's ground trying to. come up next hour tito's is closer to julian assange the founder of the wiki leaks website and one of the world's most talked about man right now he discusses his attempts to fight extradition and what he sees as the sinister side to social networking. julian thanks for talking to r.t. now through the course of your work it's reasonable to assume that you have insights into how political decisions are being made what do you make of the recent events in the middle east and north africa do you think that we're seeing genuine social unrest or are we seeing some kind of orchestrated revolt and if so who do you think is behind or there is genuine change in some parts a little bit i mean egypt is a clear case but i was concerned at the beginning of the egyptian revolution as to

when whether we just saw a changing of the kids and you know what remains of the same existing power structure when something really different was happening after mubarak played kyra you saw really revolutions occurring in every institution i mean i think you know exactly. i'm so good that's a sort of change it's hard for them to know what's happening in some other country . different so the situation in libya is clear we have both under state actors in it for many people here and it's something it's being driven by because now it is normal for the neighboring countries to have interconnections with you know activists from different countries friendlies in different countries businesses in different countries and states from neighboring countries that's normally when outside forces from very very far flung countries start to take an

aggressive all right you know regional affair and then we have to look a bit more and say what's going on is not normal so what's happening in libya for example is not normal and social networking what role do you think sites like facebook and twitter have played in the revolutions in the middle east how easy would you say it is to manipulate media like facebook in particular. the most appalling spying machine that has ever been invented he we have the world's most comprehensive started that it's about people and their relationships and they use their interests and their locations their communications maybe to their relative goal setting we've united states. all excessive well you know i think only facebook. google yahoo all these made him recently have been in place for u.s.

intelligence. it's not a matter of serving a subpoena they have an interface and they have developed from us intelligence and humans now is it because that facebook. is actually run by you or sometimes you know it's not like it's simply the us intelligence is able to bring to bear legal and political pressure to them and it's costly for them to hand out records and. so they have automated process and everyone should understand up. when they had their friends to place a book they are going free work for united states intelligence agencies in building this database with it let's talk about also in the latest survey wiki leaks cables that is being released and they show the u.k. as a haven for extremism with at least thirty five guantanamo detainees having at least past three you k. is the u.k. still a haven for terrorists still being a haven for terrorists certainly

a haven for all the guards and former regime dictators and come you know i mean you remember the famous pinochet trial for the execution of permission from the u.k. which i thought you were resistant and i'm incredibly using a lawyer if it is involved in in trying to fix it right and me from the united kingdom now part of that is perhaps good it's an example of true religion in the united kingdom everyone from here. on the other hand there does seem to be if you connect between is it really supporting free speech activists like me who come to the u.k. but on the other hand it is. supporting people like sons of get off. the ground on the information why has witness released it now i mean it seems to sort of to be to be off to the fact is it because obama has recently announced his

will actually campaign and obviously closing guantanamo was one of his main election promises was a number of reasons why we released. the primary one is that we are a small and i think she's very committed one and last year we came under it's extraordinary attack dog all these things continue to go on and so they really dampen down our ability to move quickly and why because the timing is good obama has given up on closing guantanamo and he's decided to reopen the truck very serious and we now have a situation where even the obama administration says that forty eight of these people feeling confident are completely innocent and that they should be sensibly i mean up in some ways completely innocent people incarcerated for years and you don't need no trial no hope for you know no country will greet them including states and united states has made them its problem. and nine states was involved in

rounding up these innocent people setting up a priceless that was from the very beginning corrupt there's a reason why they're in problemo and not on the u.s. mainland and not near our country. that reasoning was to hide them and keep an outside law just like you have caribbean islands from keynsham money laundering united states with engaging people let's move on and talk about your media partners one of which is the guardian with whom you are now involved in a dispute but you chose them as your primary english language partner for distributing the weeklies cables and now guardian journalists a publicist on wiki leaks which you say is an attack on you how would you describe thawing that the gods is the guardian starts on whistleblowing and media freedom in general you know they are they are publishing organizations so of course they want as much right for them to publish as it's possible that's

a natural self interest what they have done with this cable cooking i mean these incredible reduction over reduction of pay is they have pushed the right with the people to know the very very edge and what they're concerned about is any possible attack on the building but we have seen this sort of abuse. of the material that we have provided. several times regarding the guardian is the worst offender but we saw it also by your problems a new york times where you directed a sixty two page cable down to two paragraphs and this is completely against the agreement people you originally set up with them on november. well i see that agreement was that the only reductions that should take place if i had to protect people's lives and should be no other. reaction not to protect reputation not not

to protect the guardians profit i would only to protect lives what happens in the west is that there is no border between state interest and commercial. the edges of the state as a result of privatization i thought and blew it out into the eighty's of companies and so when you look at how the guardian behaves or how the new york times behaves . it is part of that image of corporate and state interests seamlessly bereavement reaching the guardian is concerned predominantly about being criticized by these powers but it was about lawsuits and clearly construed. driven by other guards driven by people powerful enough to push. a court case forward let's talk a little bit about you and what you are going through at the moment you are

currently fighting extradition to sweden what are your fares should you be extradited down the problem is in two parts. united states is trying to give up an execution case for me to the united states. just today receiving a new subpoena coming out of the secret grand jury that is operating in alexandria virginia and try to give up this espionage case against us. is. it will be in that case and whatever country i mean once you decide to in fact they will try to extract me from back country and possibly not just me possibly other stuff. and the other problem with the swedes expedition is that the process itself has been corrupted.

so it was corrupted from the very beginning and we're seeing the corruption that swedish media we've seen. all sorts of strange actions in relation to me having these cases progressed what message do you think it would send to the world if the u.k. did turn around almost unexpectedly at this point it seems and refused to extradite you which means on which country so here's the sort of calculation it's going on in united kingdom. the united kingdom wants to keep that the various levels wants to keep its continuation of states. so if the u.k. was to reject the us six additional that would pose terrible problems similarly if it was to the swedish exhibition that would pose problems for because it would look like it was seething from harvard and this is that the sort of difficult situation in afghanistan where he'd be police harboring bin ladin.

person response to any country which he used to be harboring us as united states is trying to conduct it's a critical support. face as we can pressure the united kingdom. does taint tricks and i mean the united states. when it faces a difficult position politically. which is the bulk of the people who like him support us i'm finally julian who do you consider to be our number one enemy. number one enemy is ignorance. and i believe that is the number one immediate everyone. is not understanding what is actually going on and so are you when you start to understand that you can make effective decisions and effective plans and out kristie as he was promoting ignorance all those organizations and tried to keep things secret. and those organizations which distort truth nation to make

a false misrepresentative in this latter category. it is bad media. it really is why why opinion that the media in general are so bad. we have to question when the world would not be a good off without the multitude of. is so distorted of how the world actually news. the result is we see wars and the same corrupt governments continue working one of the hopeful things that i've discovered is that nearly every war that is started in the past fifty years has been a result of the media lives and the media couldn't stop it he said so taken up if they hadn't repeated government propaganda they could have stopped it but what does that mean. that means basically populations don't like wars and

populations have to be fooled into wars populations don't willingly and open we open our eyes going to war so if we have a good media environment then we also have a right. thank you very much. the price of freedom from the most anxious in history. books who fought to win that stand trial. against the tide of history being reviewed. sixty six years of featuring on
