information out about 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. going to be a democracy is wiki leaks the dream of an idealist or a tool to manipulate global politics julian works on and on anger. what motivates to unisom and 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 its whistle blowing revelations change the world forever. june as 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 result in bloodshed ben ali had to flee the capital on january the fifteenth is. the events that took place in the north african country in january were immediately dumped in the jasmine revolution of the choosing in kuwait also has another nainital 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 kunal eeks he began posting material concerning choosier from diplomatic cables in arabic and french the cables were made public by julian assange 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 sure really very very very interesting to note the two facts that the u.s. government is waiting. to leave the u.s. government was. really not supported by nearly for a human rights violation. discontent with a president who would look good in power for too long had been brewing into his ear for quite some time public anger erupted after students mohamed was easy set himself on fire and publish stories of runaway corruption eroding the top echelon of the two new zealand government. after winning the. i came the humming-bird says he did what he did. i think tradition was nature to. just of the 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. thinking that there was something that was corrupt. daniel don't steinberg chums 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. yes my name is daniel schmidt this is julia sons and we're here to make a short presentation about what we can extract what every dog daniel don't steinberg could be described as co-creator of the internet's most scandalous website sit together he understands took the idea of creating a site where any person can safely post secret information anonymously and made it a reality that when you eat i heard about weakening since september two thousand and seven and in november two thousand and seven i first got in touch with julian.

he was already working on weakening so on and so i asked if they needed any help. and started working on a couple of topics john young registered to wiki leaks daughter will become a name in late december two thousand and six young had already created something similar to wiki leaks several years before previously he used the crypto site for publishing classified material secrecy is the biggest. fear of real democracy. that is way overdue and so threats to the workers who are coming from your side of the for the secret keeper. and with the need to be exposed during the first few years if we can leaks the resource was treated as a project created by internet fringes we can leaks lives off donations and they were inconsistent at the time and for about two years we were one and a half against me tried to build up weekend weeks as a project we published

a lot of documents and tried to get funding and it was all very difficult so we have all put in all 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 and. this is real clear shelter you built during the second world war and then modernized you into 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 telltale reminders of its original purpose can be seen all over the place. we're digitally this type was actually in submarines and so they are german submarines from the beginning and the alarm in case of trouble the alarm starts alarmists.

today behind a nice thick walls and heavy doors there are services carrying thousands of websites some of them store wiki leaks data. this is the cabin up and you feel down to see these two these two hundred fifty servers swedish noise provide better protection against attacks on wiki leaks than the bunkers morals or a security system they'll only flow through for the coming fire while they are feel they must be able to make it a material thing therefore we are told that the. assumption is team had to be very careful about the security of their service after this video was posted on their site traffic to safety. there are.

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 three years after the tragedy wiki leaks published the video sparking a massive international right now one that it shows you errors in the internal the additional mechanisms at its north and it shows you the reports about what who is insurgent was not in a circle but appear in the media following the bit where people are killed cannot be trusted several months later in the summer of twenty ten the site and its partner outlets publish 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. to cover the six year period of war nor any two thousand and almost every incident serious incident here with. it with the current location number of people killed 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. army. it was appears the mostly period. where we're looking at mission seriously. they did hold back. or forth because they hadn't thought of. it suggests that maybe they think it's with

a girl if urged the white house not rouse the resistance here and we'll. publish the white house and or if that request. every week once a week we're meeting in this cafe here is the party leadership we just had a half day meeting says we're under the leadership political body has taken over the party leadership. we're wrapping up breakfast and discussing how to move 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 step in to support we collate in august of last year they were not as known as they are know 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 the well . brought wiki leaks the wiki leaks domain online one that went offline during that hectic week of information was. similar projects have been launched around the world including russia. most people in russia don't speak english so that's why we wanted to make wiki leaks documents available to all russians online so we set about spotting records of interest to people living in russia and countries of the commonwealth of independent states such reporters are either fed to translation websites or the people themselves translate them after receiving them via email russian pirates have launched a similar site called leaks it largely mimics what assumptions been doing it with

the leaks a few leaks have already been made public. what the 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. so the big question though is how are they going to send their stuff. recently in the summer of twenty ten songs gathered a circle of accredited journalists for wiki leaks these people were supposed to get the news before it would appear on the site and by doing this 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. but

it was clearly the newspapers running it for a full 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 the u.s. embassy and third they may have been worried by the uncertain prospects of relations with the russian leadership of the. interior which chiefly concerned russia was published by russian journalists in parallel with the site the first week so a record number of visitors people were hungry for a sensational scoop. conditions the shower frankly when we saw the first set of documents sent a response to our request we didn't know how we should go about them and first glance many of them were unlikely to arouse interest you have to read 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 wiki leaks

website and its founder a song could become the world. main newsmakers the australian spent most of his spare time travelling giving interviews and taking part in different seminars with those words again welcome to stockholm and before. it's unlikely the julian a song speaking before the journalists at this seminar in stockholm could have full seen that in a few months he would be in jail nor would have imagined that his close companions would desert him although this visit to the swedish capital would lead to his downfall. british. market. can find out what's really happening to the global economy.

look at the global financial headlines to cause a report. by august twenty ten. have become the world's most popular media figure the wiki leaks founder savored the glory of being alone fine to undersell adversary to the world superpower. by the us authorities to prosecution against mr song proved unsuccessful the wiki leaks founder had tried to be legally irreproachable until he decided to attend a seminar in stone come in august twenty ten. investigators would later establish them during his visit to sweden mr songs 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 to the police. primarily to discuss with the police to tell the police what they have been through and get advice what shall 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 son has always had a weakness for women we were at a conference and would have passed and he told a lot of confidence 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 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 the weekly that's why they were attending the seminar or the lecture from you 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 the person happens to be . at the same time tensions inside the wiki leaks team rose to the surface songes friend and colleague daniel don't feel like burke said he could no longer work with him he withdrew from the project along with many others it was what i'm 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 bergen a songe also had a personal conflict when berg introduced her sons to his future wife sandra disapproved of his choice. i fell in love right immediately and i hold you in as my friend and the only thing at the requirement was that i should try to and as much. as i can get so that if she annoys me something in my hands again. and that was a really weird recommendation but the loss of half of his team was not the most serious consequence of the 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 a bag this data is a form of insurance daniel had all the reason in the world to fear assume it was

enraged by his betrayal of so much and even threatened his former friend. he wants it if i would ever put it in danger. it would hunt me down and kill me. and he even repeated that threat a couple of times a waltz others that asked him. on december the first twenty ten into polish and a warrant for a soldier's arrest a week 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 bit will around the world. but we. thought it might see why a week away. shortly after he was bailed

a stone shocked the world with a statement that it was now the turn for the banks to shed 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 a former employee of the julius by a bank under velma publicly handed over to a sound two disks with information on the personal bank accounts but i want it and that's all it will be cleped i could ever get it. in order to fulfill its investigation and facing 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 are seven hundred or seven hundred seventy german names on it some of our go to court all of them had to pay money back in the year two thousand and eight the german state court because of this of the more than one billion of europe that. the method proved to be effective even depositors whose names were not on the desk field possible criminal prosecutions thousands of germans who preferred not to wait for a subpoena pay 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. not really comparable because on the one side the people sell that are to us or lots of money

for millions of money on the other side you have wiki leaks and so this is a nonprofit 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 the song is the only person who knows everything about the whereabouts of the huge donations made to the organization. but there were other money trails no one you know actually other than julian where it came from and what it was used for and i think as a just natural if you're working in a team of maybe five to ten people at that time there's no need to have secrets you know at least in fields like that. and when you ask someone what's happening to the money in australia and how much money is there. and that person tells you all you have done well. after his rift with the sound bird wrote

a book titled inside wiki leaks and launched his own website called open weeks i would beg 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 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 ditch spy schemes publicity and the self advertising which is sound seems to like so much this image is what julian on still create because it characterizes him like our. somewhere between a hakko and a freedom of information and the james bond of modern times and this is very appealing in rome this is what people think they should. so this is exactly one of the reasons why we left the probably because it has become more all games.

than actual information. that ministration was introduced at all universities in china zero after the revolution but students didn't have time to attend classes in the first two weeks following the coup but they were too busy debating how to protect the progress made in the january revolution. beautifully that the only evolution you can succeed in all its goals. we are purposely facing and you're steep but making a discus and being every day about the new government had me and. me i would because. 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 kinda leaks. we can see that when ali and that is you will be. the first victim. of these a few critics astrobiology his friend an assistant some event god or the ones who had prepared the ground for that revolution they learned to walk in the old port town of bizet or pirates and use it as a stopping place hundreds of years ago that unique founders like in themselves to such pirates of centuries past. the more pirates because words 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 by the internet is the proof

maybe it was. the leaks that have been published and really stand by we played for all we don't know we cannot measure of how big it was but it does help with the income and the reason. that option of the family and close number of the right sure we. are not for this and. for hard certain things. later that same day the streets of tunis years 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 revolutionary tsunami that rose engine is here has already swept across

several countries and it's anyone's guess who shows it may reach in the near future . for the full story we've got it for. the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers.
