comes to us through satellite connections or through fiber optic cables so who are physically controls this controls the realm of our ideas and communications and whoever is able to sit on those communications channels can intercept and. new game in town as far as state spying is concerned intercepting entire nations not individuals and yes this sounds like a kind of futuristic scenario but you'll. yeah i mean the united states' national security agency has been doing this for some thirty twenty years but now it's spread to even mid-sized nations even gadhafi libya was employing illegal system which is produced by french company emesis. push there in two thousand and nine advertised in its internal documentation as a nationwide interceptions of them so so what's happened over the last ten years is . every decreasing cost of intercepting each individual now to the degree where

is cheaper to intercept every individual than it is to pick particular people to spy upon and what's the what's the alternative the sort of utopian alternative that you would put for it so the token alternative is to try and gain independence for this for the internet to sort of clear independence versus the rest of the world and that's really quite important because if you think about what is human civilization that makes it clean to sensually human and civilized it is our shared knowledge that intellectual knowledge is something we're all putting on to the internet and so if we can try and decouple that from. the brute nature of states and their cronies then i think we really have hope for a global civilization if on the other hand the mere security guards you know the people who control the guns are able to take control of our intellectual life take

control of all the ways in which we communicate with each other then of course you can see how dreadfully outcome will be because we're just happened to one nation it will happen to every nation at once it is happening to the nation at once as far as spying is concerned because now every nation is merging its society with internet infrastructure and in what way are we as. naïve internet users if you like and i. exclude you from that obviously kind of willingly collaborating with these collectors of personal data you know we all have a facebook account we all have telephones which can be tracked people think well yeah i use facebook and maybe the f.b.i. if they made a request could come and get it and everyone the much more aware of it now of course because of betrayers but that's not the problem the problem is that all the time everyone nearly everything they do on the internet is permanently recorded every web search you know what you were thinking one year two days three months ago and you don't know but google knows it remembers the national security agency

intercepts request if it flowed over u.s. border it knows where we need. national security agency whistleblower who was the research head of the national security agency's signals intelligence division describes this as turning a key totalitarianism that all the infrastructure has been built for absolute totalitarianism it's just a matter of turning the key and actually the case has already been turned a little bit and it is now affecting people who are targeted for us drone strikes organizations like wiki leaks. national security reporters who are having their sources investigated is already partly turned and you know the question is would will go all the way but has it been built really by corporations and kind of unwittingly subscribed to by people say in order to advertise products to make money or has it been built deliberately by governments for the sole purpose of

a it's it's both i mean the valence infrastructure the bulk surveillance the infrastructure there are hundreds of companies involved in the business they have secret international conferences they have a perspective they give to the intelligence agencies that we have obtained and published this year together with privacy international the bureau of investigative journalism also the wall street journal has done some good work on this building devices that they advertise to intercept entire nations to install the data from those intercepts permanently strategic interception because it's cheaper so it's a. it's a combined corporate government amalgam that's one of the problems one of the reasons it's so unaccountable is it crosses boundaries and then you also have google and facebook who started out predominately serving the public but also have developed some side projects to service the u.s. intelligence com complex and individuals are constantly pushing their thoughts into

google as each thing that they want to research has pushed the emails and in facebook their social relationships. than under a dollar of. spy dr bates facebook is completely out of from even the worst spying nation the richness and sophistication of relationships expressed and willingly contributed to what will know but not with informed consent people don't actually know when you don't quite facebook to share this to your friends. that's what it says it doesn't say share this to state agencies it doesn't say share this to friends and cronies of state agencies how has the organized power do you think to stop this these things that you're looking out well for some you know if there's political will everything is possible so if we get the political will then of course you know those agencies can be dismantled very aggressively distillation of policing can be. pushed upon them in some. regions

of the world such as latin america perhaps that's a possibility there's a certain democratic tendency which ecuador is part of that might do that but in general i think the prognosis is very great and we really are at this moment where it can go one way or the other way. to a degree. i think perhaps the best that we can be sure if we work of achieving is that some of us are protected it's not necessary that all of society is covered and the water side is protected what is necessary is the critical accountability components of the society that stop it going down the troops entirely that those people are protected so those include corruption investigators journalists activists and political parties these have got to be protected if they're not protected then it's all us is there a way that i can protect myself without knowing a lot about competing as well

a little bit but the first thing to be aware of is how much you're giving away now the first way to protect yourself is go ok well i'll discuss that in person or by the facebook chat ok i'll discuss this using some forms of encrypted t.r. not on facebook that. you can down there to talk project at all and download the encrypted anonymizing software it's slower than normal but for things like internet chat it's five because you're not downloading very much at once so there are ways of doing this what is really necessary. ever for that for those to be properly developed is for there to be enough market demand it's same situation as. washing your hands that once upon a time before the bacterial theory of disease before we understood that out there invisibly was all these bacteria that is trying to cause us harm just like states

mass states or violence is out there invisible and trying to cause society allows for harm. no one bothered to wash their hands first process was discovery second process education third process a market demand it's created as a result of education which means that experts can start to manufacture so when people can buy and use it so this is where we're at now which is we've got to create education amongst people so there can be a market demand so that people others can be encouraged to produce easy to use cryptographic technology that is capable of protecting a significant not everyone but a significant number of people from mass state spying and if we're not able to protect a significant number of people from mass state spying in the basic democratic. and civilian institutions that we're used to and not not in the west i'm no gore fire of the west but you know also side he's going to crumble away they will

crumble away and they will do so all at once and that's. that's an extremely dangerous phenomena it's not often where all the world goes down that you all at once usually you have a few countries that are ok you can bootstrap civilization again from we're very close to just past the second anniversary of cable gates and since then that this war on whistleblowers in this state surveillance has seemed to have got. do you think that something is largest cable kates could ever happen again and that would have a similar impact here and play next year what's the time next year. when you go into it but hopefully earlier rather than later when the successes of wiki leaks. shouldn't be viewed merely as a demonstration of our organizations for reality or the realty of the activist

community on the internet. they are also a function of this hoarding of information. by these national security states you know the reason that there was so much information to leak the reason it could be leaked all at once is because they had hoarded so much why had they hoarded so much wealth to gain extra power through knowledge that they wanted their own knowledge internally to be easily accessible to their people to be searchable so this much power could be extracted from it as possible. the here we here exude attempts to redress the imbalance of power by taking what's inside these very powerful institutions and giving them to. the commons people in general so we can understand how our world works and stop takeover by these powerful institutions but it's a function of how much knowledge these powerful institutions have accumulated and

what are you going to do julian you said that you won't leave the ecuadorian embassy until the us drops any charges that they say any any investigation against you you just going to stay here forever well i hope that there's enough political pressure that the u.s. government sees said it's that it's just it is destroying any goodwill that remains towards it as a result of its persecution and investigation of wiki leaks and its associates i think it really does have to drop the investigation and you know over the past six months in particular you can see the sort of. the arab history and. the us. eric holder are going to end up on the wrong side of history i don't know that they want that on the record and you use released a statement i think there have been reports in the media over the last day or so

that you've got a long condition but you've released a statement saying that that's actually not the case to talk but has this show knew what would potentially happen if you did have a health scare do you think that you would be able to get treatment was there my my particular personal condition is not very interesting obviously this circumstance in the embassy is difficult. and a long long time i suppose it could be very difficult but. you know i've had to have a soft thank you very much. the great russian warrior. prevailing over hazards and asperity. to react and i think parades through.

secure fix of their food junk produces an l. rushing to rebrand a so-called low fun and diet well here's the secret about so-called diet food and it's actually hilarious that it's called that because most diet food contains what's known as aspartame or similar name or sucralose and it's been found in numerous studies that actually diet soda products can actually lead to kidney damage metabolic problems in obesity the studies found that kidney damage was experienced in those who drink diet soda whereas those who drink regular soda which by no means is healthy did not experience the same issues the best part about it aspartame is actually made from the fecal matter the literal fecal matter of bacteria that is genetically modified by one and only monsanto the word dawe it isn't even regular ated in the u.s. a corporation can make this beauty and cool diets goodness. the fact mcdonald's pays way to watch has to be an official paul enough truth is stranger than fiction

fifty two european countries got together and agreed that junk food marketing to children must stop because children were targets here in america it's considered free speech part of the first amendment that right is supported this is a huge problem i went to the commissioner of the federal communications commission here in america deborah taylor tait back in two thousand and seven when asked in light of what the european health care ministers that said what did she think needs to be done and her response was a direct quote i expect the food industry to police itself well that's what they've been doing now for the past thirty years and look where it's gotten its trace speech doesn't work with addictive substances it didn't work with tobacco doesn't work with heroin cocaine morpheme nicotine cannabis oh all in fact is that free speech is a problem when you're talking about addictive substances it question is is sugar an

addictive substance the data mostly in animals but some in humans. he says yes inner agency government committee the inner agency were croup got together and developed voluntary standards are voluntary guidelines for companies to abide by or to opt to abide by to address marketing and the food company is. basically weighed in very negatively and forced those interagency guidelines to never be published even though they were just going to be voluntary junk joints of even make congress classify school cheese pizza as a vegetable so it served as a key nutrient in school meals the junk food industry doubled their lobbying spending with the under the obama administration and in turn the obama administration announced that they were lowering the fight on childhood obesity and

michelle obama recommends that kids go out and eat these certain dietary guidelines that actually contain g m o's most of the time these processed garbage foods and isn't it interesting that bloomberg had truckloads of mountain dew and jerry no shipped into the sandy relief fund area to give these people a bunch of processed garbage snacks that do nothing for nutritional value by bloomberg house foreman false food his corporation had fun filled with free junk for every employee within weeks workers piled on the pounds. will the seventeen l. sodas sixty a hot dogs in ten minutes isn't just good it's patriotic. d.n.a. a little writes the stone on us by our forefathers life liberty and the pursuit of happiness for the contestants assembled here that pursuit includes consuming as many hot dogs as is humanly possible elected politicians putting whole dogs over
