u.n. resolution. i'm all in place for victory day celebrations in russia thousand troops march across moscow's a red square and a final rehearsal before monday's grand the military. part of next r.t. talks exclusively to julian assange the founder of the wiki leaks website and one of the world's most talked about and he discusses his attempts to fight extradition and heads out of what he sees as the sinister side if you have social networking you without. julian draxler talking to r.t. now through the course of your work it's reasonable to assume that you have still an insight 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 this who is genuine strange in some parts of the little
6:32 am
things i mean egypt is a clear case and i was concerned at the beginning of the egyptian revolution as to when whether we could sort changing of the chairs and you know making something to say you can from power structure whether something really different was happening after mubarak played cairo we saw really revolutions occurring in every situation we've been hearing from example. so that that's the sort of change it's hard to know what's happening in some other country is a bit different situation we've got. we we have all been a state like michigan before it but something is being driven by because now it is normal for neighboring countries to have interconnections with each other the activists in different countries and ways in different countries businesses in different countries and the states from neighboring countries that's normally when
6:33 am
outside forces from very very far flung countries start to take an aggressive role right here a regional affair. 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. most appalling spying going to she has ever been invented here we have the world's most comprehensive database about people and their relationships in the names through persons evocations if communications with each of the relatives all seem we've been in the united states all accessible to us and to facebook. google yahoo always making as
6:34 am
a nation have. a good place for us intelligence. it's not a matter of serving a subpoena they have a need to face it they have developed it was intelligence to use now is it because that facebook. is actually run by u.s. intelligence now it's not like that it's simply that u.s. intelligence is able to bring to bear legal and political pressure to them and it's costly for them to hand out records and number one so they have automated process and everyone should understand that the day when they have their friends to facebook they are generating free work for the united states intelligence agencies . in building this database for that let's talk about her latest survey wiki leaks cables that have been released they show the u.k. as a haven for extremism with at least thirty five ton of a detainees having at least past three you k. is the u.k.
6:35 am
still a haven for terrorists still being a haven for terrorists certainly a haven for all the darks and former regime dictators that come here i mean you remember the famous pinochet trial with the execution of potentially from the u.k. which i thought you were resistant. incredibly using a lawyer that is involved in in trying to exit right and me from even it came to now part of that is perhaps a coup and it's an example of true we believe that in the united kingdom everyone from here you will particularly. on the other hand it does seem to be. connect between is it really supporting free speech act was likely to come to newquay but on the other hand it is supporting people like sons of it often is a teller information why has wiki leaks released it now i mean it seems to sort of
6:36 am
sort of to be to be off to the fact is it because obama has recently announced his we're election campaign and obviously we're closing guantanamo was one of his main election promises was a number of reasons why we have released now. the primary one is that we are a small. very committed one and last year we came under a six year ordinary attack all these things continue to go on and so they really dampen down their ability to move quickly because the timing is good obama has given up on closing guantanamo i just decided to reopen to our prices and we now have a situation where even the. i'm going to straighten it forty eight of these people here when i was one of them are completely in the band that they should be since i've been up in some way so completely innocent people incarcerated for years and you need no trial no hope really no no country route greta included
6:37 am
thirty three united states has made its problem. and nine states was involved in rounding up and he's innocent people setting up a process that was from the very beginning corrupt there's a reason why they're in guantanamo and not why the u.s. made right and not you know it country and that reason was to hide them and keep an outsider war just like you have caribbean islands and cajun money laundering right stance with immigration people wondering ok 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 but i thought distributing weekly's cables and now guardian journalists to publish this book on wiki leaks which you say is an attack on you how would you describe thought doing that their gods is the guardian stance on whistleblowing and media freedom in general and they are they are publishing organizations because they want as much
6:38 am
right for them to publications as possible not so natural and i'm self interest what they have done with cable cooking in these incredible reduction over reduction of papers is they have pushed the right of the people to know the very very edge and what they're concerned about. he has any possible attack on them but we have seen this sort of abuse. of the maturing of the media invited. several times regarding the guardian is the worst offender but we saw it also by the new york times and york times we doctored a sixty two page cable down to two paragraphs and this is completely against the agreement to be regionally set up with the on november. third agreement was that the only redactions that should take place i had to protect people's lives
6:39 am
and should be no other than a reduction not to protect reputation not not to protect the guardian's profit but only to protect lives what happens in the west is that there is no border between state interest internationally but the ages of the state as a result of privatization. part of the word out into the ages of companies and so when you look at how the guardian behaves or how the new york times behaves. it is part of that marriage of corporate and state interests seamlessly blurring into regional guardian's concern predominantly about being criticized by these powerful interests about lawsuits including construed. driven by oligarchs driven by people powerful enough to push. a court case forward let's talk
6:40 am
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 back the problem is in two parts. you know i had states trying to get up the next edition case for me can you know that. just today we see a new subpoena coming out of the secret grand jury that is operating in alexandria virginia that is trying to get out because it's been our strength against us. use the government building the case and whatever country i mean once it decides to indict they will try to extract me from that country and possibly notice me as a bit out of step. and the other problem with the swedish extradition
6:41 am
is that the process itself has been corrupted. so it was corrupt from the very beginning and we've seen corruption in the swedish media we've seen. all sorts of strange actions in relation to how the this case is progressed what message 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 calculations going on in the united kingdom. the united kingdom wants to keep it the various levels wants to keep its good relationship with light states and so if you k. was to reject the us execution order that would pose terrible problems similarly if it was. the swedish extradition that would pose problems for because it would look like it was seething hardened and this is the sort of difficult
6:42 am
situation that afghanistan we repeatedly think was harboring bin laden will receive a response from any country which he used to be harboring us as united states are trying to conduct its aggressive response. rates and political pressure if united kingdom. does came to accept i mean the united states. faces a difficult position weekly. which is the bulk of people who support us and finally julian who do you consider to be your number one enemy but our number one enemy is ignorance. and i believe that is the number one enemy everyone. is not understanding what is actually going on in the world it's only when you start to understand that you can make effective decisions and effective plans and out christian use he was promoting ignorance well those organizations and tried to
6:43 am
keep things secret. and those organizations which distort truth from asian to make a false misrepresentative and it's the latter category and it is better than here i mean it really is my opinion that the media it in general so that we we have to question whether the world wouldn't be better off without them all together. that is so distraught here's to you how the world actually is. the result is we see wars and the same corrupt governments continue. one of the hopeful things i've discovered is that when you get every war that is started in the past sixty years has been a result of media lies and the media could have stopped it if they had searched even if they hadn't repeated government propaganda they could have stopped it but
6:44 am
what does that mean that means basically populations don't like words and populations have to be fooled into what's population willingly and with open eyes going to war so if we have a good media environment then we'll also have a peaceful environment can i first thank you very much. twenty years ago in march this country. certificates of. one hundred trying. to teach began a journey. where did it take the. world
