dangerously close to a ground invasion. troops and tanks under arrest in syria with no signs of an end to the fight washington or even deploy sanctions to force the regime's violent crackdown on its citizens some eight hundred people have reportedly been killed since the uprising began almost two months ago. to roll out the big guns for the annual grand victory day parade what it took to defeat the nazi nazis and i would actually united with my children sent away to remote villages complete strangers to find a way to coexist. well julian assange has become one of the world's most talked about men not just because of his whistle blowing web site but because of his outspoken opinions as well as he continues his battle against extradition. his views ranging from arab uprisings to guantanamo to why the web is spying on you that's next right here on alt.
8:32 am
julian draxler talking to r.t. now through the course of your work it's reasonable to assume that you have some insights into how that political decision is a big mate 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 who is genuine change in some parts of the little things i mean egypt is a critical mass and i was concerned in the beginning of the egyptian revolution as to when and where we could sort of changing of the chairs and it. made its of the same existing power structure or even something really different was happening after mubarak. played kyra we saw the revolutions occurring in every institution we've seen here for example. i'm so good that's
8:33 am
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 really has all been a state actors you know different areas but something is being driven by because now it is normal for neighboring countries to have interconnections we need to be activists in different countries and ways 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 role in 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 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 that facebook in particular. the most
8:34 am
appalling spying machine that has ever been mentioned here we have the world's most comprehensive database about people their relationships and names their addresses you know vocation it's only a few occasions we need to. really all seem we've got it right all accessible to us from coming to facebook. google yahoo all these make a muslim nation have will be an easy place for us intelligence. it's not a matter of serving a subpoena they have a need to face and they have developed it was intelligence communities now he said because that facebook. is actually run by your sentiment no it's not like that it's simply the us intelligence is able to bring to bear legal and political pressure and and it's costly for them to hand out records and one by one so they have
8:35 am
automated the process and everyone should understand that. when they have their friends to facebook they i do mean free work for united states intelligence agencies. in building this database from let's talk about. the latest survey wiki leaks cables that have been released they show the u.k. as a haven for extremism with at least thirty five guantanamo detainees having at least past three the u.k. is the u.k. still a haven for terrorists still being a haven for terrorists but certainly i haven for oligarchs and former regime dictators sort of come here i mean remember the famous pinochet trial for the execution of commission from the u.k. which is that your resistance. incredibly using a lawyer that is involved in in trying to exit right now me from the united kingdom
8:36 am
now part of that is perhaps a good example of true realism in the united kingdom if you want to come here you know particularly. on the other hand there does seem to be at least connect between he's 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 good often and tell the information why has wiki leaks released it now i mean it seems to sort of sort of to be to be all after the fact is it because obama has recently announced his we're election campaign and obviously we're closing guantanamo it was one of his main election promises was a number of reasons why we released it now. the primary one is that we are a small and i think from very committed wrong and last year we came under it's extraordinary attack all these things continue to go on and so they really dampen
8:37 am
down their ability to move quickly in public because the timing is good obama has given up on closing guantanamo and it's decided to reopen the trial progress and we now have a situation where even the. ministration says that forty eight of the people doing a course on america are completely innocent and today should be saying something i'm not going to write so completely innocent people incarcerated for years and years and years. and over on the freeway no no country will agree with them including thirty three of the united states has made him a problem. in nine states and involving rounding up these innocent people setting up a process that was from the very beginning corrupt there's a reason why their income problemo and not on the us mainland and not in our country and that reason was to hide them and keep them outside of the war just like you had caribbean islands and cajun money laundering united states was engaged and
8:38 am
people were looking at let's move on and talk about your media partners one of which is the guardian with whom you're now involved in a dispute but you chose them as your primary english language partner for distributing the weeklies cables and now guardian journalist publish this book on wiki leaks which you say is an attack on you how would you describe thawing that the gods is the guardian stance on whistleblowing and media freedom in general. they are a publishing organization sort of because they want as much right for them to publishers as possible that's a natural self interest what they have done with cable cooking. incredible reduction over reduction of cables is they have pushed the right of the people to know the very very edge and what they're concerned about . he's any possible attack on them but we have seen this sort of abuse.
8:39 am
of the material that we have provided. several times and the guardian guardian is the worst offender but we saw it also by new york times and york times rejected a sixty two page cable down to two paragraphs and this is completely against the agreement paper you originally set up with them on november the first. yes you know that agreement was that the only redactions that should take place are to protect people's lives and should be no other. reduction not to protect reputation not not to protect their guardians profit but only to protect lives what happens in the west is that there is no border between a statement of this thing commissioned from. the edges of the state as a result of privatization. and blew it out into the ages of companies and so when
8:40 am
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 to reach the audience concerned predominantly about being criticized by these powerful interests about lawsuits and clinton started. driven by other guards driven by people powerful enough to push. their caucus 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 fears should you be extracted that the problem. is in two parts. the united states and he's trying to get up an execution case for me to the united states. just today we see a new subpoena coming out of the secret grand jury that is operating in alexandria
8:41 am
virginia is trying to me give up his estranged case against him. he is. healing that case and whatever country i mean once he decides to indict they will try to extort money from that country and possibly not just me possibly i wouldn't start. and the other problem with the swedish extradition is that the process itself has been corrupted. so it was corrupted 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 that these cases progressed and 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
8:42 am
united kingdom. the united kingdom wants to keep at the various levels wants to keep its good relationship with nightsticks. so if you k. was to reject us execution order that would pose terrible problems for similarly if it was to reject the swedish exhibition that would pose problems because it would look like it was seething too hard. and this is that it was a. difficult situation in afghanistan. we repeated that it was hard work and we live. in christopher's hold so any country which he used to be harboring us as united states of trying to conduct its aggressive response. faces legal questions if the united kingdom. does it came to exonerate me and united states. then it faces the people position politically. which is the bulk
8:43 am
of people who support us and finally g.n.p. who do you consider to be your number one enemy. 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 and so i mean when you start to understand that you can make effective decisions and effective plans now christie as he was promoting ignorance well those organizations have tried to keep things secret. and those organizations which distort truth nation to make its misrepresentative and it's not a category. it is bad media. it really is my opinion that the media it in general are so bad we we have to question with the world wouldn't be better off without them altogether. there is no distortion of to how the world
8:44 am
actually is. the result is we see wars in the same corrupt governments can turn around one of the hopeful things i've discovered is that it really is a reward that is started in the past fifty years has been a result of media lies and the media could have stopped it if they had such deep enough they haven't reprinted government propaganda they could have stopped it but what does that mean that means basically populations don't like. and populations have to be fooled into the world's population when we have an open we open our eyes go into a world so if we have it with media environment then go also have a peaceful environment thank you very much.
8:45 am
