information out of the real world today anyone can find out what information the government the military and bankers of kept under lock and key secrecy is the biggest. fear to be able to market is wiki leaks the dream of an idealist or a tool to manipulate global politics through him words on and on anger. what motivates julian assange does he want to change the world or is he just seeking fame does he act on his own or is someone else behind wiki leaks and will it whistle blowing revelations changed the world forever. kunis january twentieth a city with millions of residents descends into chaos thousands of protesters take to the streets in downtown genius to demand the immediate resignation of president

ben ali who has ruled the country for over twenty three years after several days of tensions resulting bloodshed ben ali had to flee the capital on january the fifteenth this. the events that took place in the north african country in january were immediately dubbed the jasmine revolution but the choosing in kuwait also has another name in the wiki revolution. this man is a professor at one of the universities in tunis. as a political activist he prefers to be known by his nickname. he didn't take part in the attacks on government buildings but he said to be one of the main driving forces of the revolution. after registering his website kenya leaks he began posting material concerning choosier from diplomatic cables in arabic and french the cables were made public by julian assange some of twenty ten. at the first

thing with the first seventy seven thousand documents and then we've got others. the sensation as i said it was really very very very interesting to note the true facts that the u.s. government is waiting. to leave the u.s. government was. really not supporting benelli for human rights violation. discontent with the president goodling getting power for too long had been brewing in tunisia for quite some time public anger erupted after students mohamed was easy satam cell phone fire and publish stories of runaway corruption eroding the top echelon of the changes in government. after when the. i came and the hummingbird says he did what he did. i think tradition was made

sure to. to start to change what's happened in tunisia and also in egypt and it's happening in a few other places these diplomatic cables for the people. they were actually right and not trusting in thinking that there is something that is corrupt. daniel don't steinberg showman's 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 because julian assange yes. yes my name is daniel smith this is truly an astonishing we're here to make a short presentation about the we can extract whatever you 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 the weeks i heard about wiki leaks in september two thousand and seven and november two thousand and seven i first got in touch with julian. he was already working on we can accept that and so i asked if they needed any help. and started working on a couple of topics john young registered the wiki leaks dot org 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 crypto dot org site for publishing classified material secrecy is the biggest. theory of democracy. it is way overdue and is so threats true democracy are coming from your side from the secret keeper and if 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 lease lives off donations and they were inconsistent at the time. or two years we are one and

a half years we tried to build up we can makes as a project me published a lot of documents and try to get funding and it was all very difficult for us 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 i mean . this is nuclear shelter you know during the second world war and then modernize doing the cold war so we have reconstructed it with data centers of 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 tell tale reminders of its original purpose can be seen all over the place. we're getting really these titles actually in submarines so they are german submarines from the beginning and the alarm in case of drop of the alarm

starts and alarmist. or. today behind these thick walls and heavy doors there are services carrying thousands of websites some of them store wiki leaks data. this is the cabin up you feel down here to see these days to watch it because it's sort of a swedish noise provide better protection against attacks on wiki leaks than the bunkers malls or its security system they'll only flow through the roof for becoming a fire was the most they would be i think it must be. to make it a material if there be a problem the. assumption is team had to be very careful about the security of their service after this video was posted on their site surface to sixty five.

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 to three years after the tragedy we killed published the video sparking a massive international rao well that's it shows you errors in the internal judicial mechanisms it's no and it shows you that reports about or who is insurgent and who is not an incident that appear in the media following the events where people were killed cannot interest them several months later in the summer of twenty ten the site and its partner outlets published the afghan dossier or what. wiki leaks itself called the afghanistan war diaries they contained eighty thousand on the spot reports about the course of the campaign the zone said they had

received the classified information from a man employed at the u.s. department of defense. it covers a six year period of war already two thousand and almost every instant seriousness that you were. given with authority or occasionally. as soon as the afghan dossier was made public asuncion his team source to instant fame but scathing criticism soon followed the most common accusation 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. economy. grow is appears the mostly period. where we're looking at issues seriously . and you hold back. with i have

a sort of agent that suggests that raided people today that's what if urged the white house got rossdale resistance and are ignoring it or. ignore effect that request. every week once a week we're meeting in this cafe here is the party leadership we've just had a half day meeting says well of leadership a little bird has taken over the party leadership. we're wrapping up breakfast and discussing how to live 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 stepped 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 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. brought wiki leaks the wiki leaks domain online that went offline during that hectic week of information. 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 really fed to translation websites or the people themselves translate them after receiving them via email russian pirates of launched

a similar site called leaks it largely mimics what a sound has been doing it wiki leaks a few leaks have already been made public. what a lot of 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 with the. 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. and

that it is clearly the newspapers running a triple risk 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 us embassy and third they may have been worried by the uncertain prospect of relations with the russian leadership of his profile in syria 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 break 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 with the links website and its founder a song to become the world. the main news makers the australian spent most of his spare time travelling giving interviews and taking part in different seminars with those words julian again most welcome to snorkel and the floor is yours because. it's unlikely that julian a song speaking before the journalists of this seminar in stockholm could have full seen that in a few months he would be in jail nor would he have imagined that his close companions would desert him although this visit to the swedish capital would lead to his downfall.

download the official anti allocation to your i phone or i pod touch from the choose up story. jollity life on the good. video on demand exceeds my old costs and r.s.s. feeds now in the palm of your. question on the call. by august twenty ten q in a song have become the world's most popular media figure the wiki leaks founder savor the glory of being alone find on the soul adversary to the world superpower all attempts by the us or thought is to launch a prosecution against mr song proved unsuccessful the wiki leaks founder had tried to be legally every protocol until he decided to attend a seminar in stockholm and almost twenty ten. investigators were later established

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 accuse the wiki leaks founder of sexual assault. they went to the police primarily to discuss with the police to tell the police what they have been through and again advise or try would do and when they tell their stories both of them separately from each other and the tell the stories for the police the police officer realized they're telling a story concerning a crime. according to daniel don't shut bag a son has always had a weakness for women we were at a conference and would have asked and he told a lot of people at our conference that he has children on every continent. swedish authorities put the songs on the international wanted list by which time the wiki

leaks founder who landed in britain many described the criminal prosecution 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 the wiki leaks actually my two clients are very much in favor of the weekly that's why they were attending seminar or lecture from and they still are for. it is 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 the difference that we suspect a person to be. at the same time tensions inside the wiki leaks team rose to the surface. his friend and colleague daniel don't shoot birds so he could no longer work with him he withdrew from the project along with many others. i'm

really very sorry to see the project winding up the problem is that julian is intent on 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 the sons to his future wife a son she disapproved of his choice. i fell in love right immediately and julian is my friend about it and the only thing the happy requirement was that i should try to find as much. as i can get so that if she annoys me something in my hands again. and that was a really weird recommendation of the loss of half of his team was not the most serious consequence of a split for a song 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 for daniel had all the reason in the world to fear assume it was enraged by his betrayal a so much had even threatened his former friend. he wants a if i would ever put any saws that. you would hunt me down and kill me. and he even repeated that threat a couple of times towards others that passed them. 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. hate me. for it

i see why a week away. shortly after he was bailed a song 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 and off elma publicly handed over to his son to discuss with information on the personal bank accounts but i want you to end this so it weekly budget again. in order to fill out its investigation and making a decision on a. yes from bush works as a journalist for the financial times specializing in the subject of bank information theft 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 were seven hundred or seven hundred seventy german names on it some would argue what all of them had to pay money back in the year two thousand and eight the german state got because of this a deal more than run billion of europe that. 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 once again purchased from anonymous sources another dismissed similar information on deposits of german citizens in swiss banks and helped her to return almost two billion euros to the state treasury many consider these tax stories to be a direct consequence over the wiki leaks effect. of pretty

comparable because on one side the people sell that are to us for 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 where no one knew or actually other than julian where it came from and what it was used for and i think that's a that is 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 that person tells you or you don't have one now. after his rift with the sound very group of book titled inside wiki leaks and launched his own website called open weeks i would beg site is different and 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 wants to bitch spy schemes publicity and herself advertising which is sound seems to like so much. as what julian wants to create because it characterizes him like. somewhere between the hacker and the freedom of information and the james bond of modern times and this is very

appealing you know this is what people think they should put on april so 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 there. was left south 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. you're afraid that the only solution you can succeed in all its goals. we are pretty busy and you're steep but thinking about eustace and being every day about the new government had me and. me

i would because. it's it's just it's the journey if you do that evolution. each of the 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 kenya leaks. we can see that bin ali and. the first victim. of these two dicks astrobiology his friend an assistant. were the ones who had prepared the ground for that revolution. they learned to walk in the old port town of disaster pirates and use it as a stopping place hundreds of years ago the founders liken themselves to such pirates of centuries past. maybe cause for freedom for transparency and so for human rights and for democracy both internet

activists agree that julian assange invented a truly effective method of influencing real politics via the internet the growth maybe it was. the leaks that have been published. and i would play the role we don't know we cannot measure of how big it was but it does help at the fairer than government that has been scared about the corruption of the family and close member of the thought it sure we. that are not very different and. to hide certain things. later that same day the streets impunity 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 you know on the the roads into music has already swept across several countries and it's anyone's guess who shows it may reach in the near future .
