made him a serious contender to capture the democratic nomination are we experiencing peak trump arrangement syndrome. a lot of young people know nothing about julian and joel we. do know julian assange do you know anything about this man and what happened to him do you want to know about your bad 10 years ago. wiki leaks with a stockholm lot of information about the crimes that were being committed by place to play war crimes but mostly the us governments and continually double murder of innocent civilians. or they're trying to just

pretend this is the 1st and they didn't think about the economics it kind of forced us to acknowledge it's you know we couldn't ignore it. he's an idealist he's on a mission he's on a mission to harm. people and the information. ministry. but this comes with the prime. loan isn't being charitable he's made while he was in the ecuadorian embassy for 8 years 7 or 8 in. a long time he spent in prison basically and that now he's being fair many months in the present. there are a lot of people who don't want him in prison a lot of the very powerful this department is conducting a thorough aggressive investigation to determine how this leak occurred to identify

the person or persons responsible. person. and i think. that's what he's facing the finish is trying to match the pillar and look we've got justice. yes harvey any reason to suggest that he's not he's trying to it's the crimes that. i don't think you can really understand julian assange. or wiki leaks without seeing an aspect of his life that formed him and that was absolutely here in melbourne and it formed him not only in terms of his ideas. his personality his expertise but also his conceptual thinking about forming software

projects including wiki. so melbourne in the late eighty's and early ninety's became the center of the a strain underground which included hers and experimenters and also there's not just in the sense of people who broke into things illegally but also people who just experimented with a. few didn't take long for australia's hacking community to embrace the young. teenagers they spent most of their time online but did occasionally venture out. in the square in central melbourne. this is the historic town hall and it was the site along with some other sort town halls in melbourne. and other members of that technology community were here in their late teens and early 20 stopping for computer bits and exchanging ideas information about how to

experiment with hardware and software. on this. computer. memory and understanding. i didn't. just write that he would pay for a short while. one of the world's most. it's very interesting the hacker mentality from this time period they wanted the thrill of getting into the system that was ted. and the more procedures the in

the institution the more thrilled they got so if they could break into now such. things were the smartest people stay with people who had put man on the moon really if you could break into their systems then you could prove to yourself you're a 17 year old boy you 2 are very smart. the u.s. space agency nasa is one of the victims of the melbourne computer hacking syndicate american investigators including the f.b.i. contacted a strain authorities with a suspicions. of the 16th 1989 nasa was attacked by what was known as the way virus it caused a space shuttle launch in florida to be postponed and was traced to australian hackers in melbourne the way was one of the 1st ever worms that had been written and it was certainly the 1st politically motivated

wireman that carried a political message that message was a quote from the midnight oil song and that quote was you talk of times of peace for all and then prepare for war. this thing that was the way. it emerged from a sort of deep dark. forest you got a glimpse of it and then disappeared again and the authors have never been found although some see this might be one of jewel in a songes dealings. people have lots of different views on these things. julian was very lucky growing up in that although he grew up in a fairly poor family canonically it was very rich intellectually. julian's father is a very clever and creative person and quite sensitive i think he's been enormously

important to julia's development as a young adult. as a young man joanne was. a go are actually. nick and i am worth wizard because they were always very hard to come up with a near approach to things you were looking at. what a number of track person have said to me is that. they get a different perspective on the world's from the systems they've been in and that's because they are able to see the actually nation these are. directly contradicting what an organisation may say publicly or someone a politician may say publicly they understand that the public is being told something that is just not just a little lie often it's a very big lie that helped maybe develop enjoins mind. the super importance of media organizations being able to report accurately

on information. and result my players and having a cup of tea. and i'm sure to. fastened 6 or something like that quite early on then you're right and julian said. i'd like to start and we can. learn this week he would concern so it's only. when we reduce the total as an anonymous from people who want to really information and that information. did you try to warn him about anything at that time. no one would you and young man on the cusp of life you don't care warnings who say well how can i help. but i've always taken nature's aphorism.

to hot and leave diners for me. to leave dangerous we don't creep around place being frightened of shadows. do what you have to do and then face the consequences as the best you can. that's me my god oh my god. this. is. not. the. 60 or 2560. that we had burst out why positions so.

i 1st heard about with nixon's you know aside. from the helicopter food scene in iraq the famous was he was where we saw. the helicopter shoot people on the ground. but all of. them on. their own in. the helicopter shot up some civilians and in the process shot 2 is just too little war says jones and they also shot up some children in a car. you know in order grown around the area going to their friends. or even more.

american military personnel misidentified civilians and rebels. from overhead it looked as though one of the men had a gun. but it was just a reuters camera man holding. the day i saw the collateral but mortar b.t.o. said if we know for get. just for again because a school it was what the 1st time and i was screaming loud at my own feast this the soldiers are us with dissed emotional detachment as they were playing video games and now with the lives of people in in such a cool way. here is actual shocking video footage fact irrefutable evidence of what happened and what has been described to me by one retired military person

actually here in australia as undoubtedly a war crime i want to welcome i want to go off to the shooting of july 13th 2007 u.s. military commanders justified the attack claiming that its troops had been in battle with hostile forces guy that might serve over. approaching a big and i'm nobody. but 2 children well that they were in a van when their father approached the scene of the shooting to help mr horn we have individuals going. to monmouth. county. where. it was really fascinating for me was when i saw an

interview with an american soldier who was there on that spot after they killed them and shot them and it was the young. officer who went to the van and discovered that there were 2 children at that will wounded he said the little girl couldn't blink because her eyes were full of grass and he tried to prove to cross from our eyes when he spoke to his supervisor and wanted to take her to a decent hospital he was told wash out you know for john up. to the 1st time we understood. the civilian casualties the innocent people who were killed in both afghanistan and iraq and this was all kept from the public. doing sun she showed real bravery in being willing to publish frankly and

fearlessly that is idio and i think that there are people within the u.s. military who have never forgiven him for it. that helicopter attack resulted in 12 to 18 deaths 2 children were wounded no one from the american military has ever been held accountable. time. when i was. going to get money to

a child even at that you know. we're still in an era of resource colonialism again this is a big risk and the one big thing that could really inhibit the kind of electric vehicle revolution that a lot of us want to see is if we can't resource the battery components in a sustainable ethical way then it's not going to be a successful revolution. 2 months ago it was only never going to start. near here and it's worth remembering to me it was the only you know the kind of revelation time when using words like she and. some of these are that you know this is after collateral julian assange revealed his identity and was known i mean it was front page news

all over the world at that point. only to julian assange to become a halt global topic but he'd found a way to publish classified information and made to develop anyone who wanted to share as someone else's secrets. the idea of developing an anonymous digital dropbox and applying it to a media organization that is wiki leaks. that was the 1st people hadn't really done that before that was that was julian assange which. enabled the whistleblower who were at low cost with just the right couldn't d.v.d. and the use of the right tools to anonymously. blow the whistle by transmitting like large amounts of data. today we release over $287.00 files documenting the reality of the international mass surveillance industry. here has.

been has a black berry. he uses e-mail. well you're all screwed. what is this place and where were all those files actually kept . in the cloud so there's no it's somewhere. julian magically brought together. computers digitalize asian and information and put before the public. when someone called you know songs knocked on the door from my club and i was quite pleased to see him i was quite came that we would have somebody who was making the news. my name's phone smith i'm a journalist. but more i run something called the front line from which i founded

which is a press club for. it all happened in this room i mean julian literally turned off and knocked on the door and literally only announce he knocks on the door 2 days before that press conference saying i want a press conference on today an assumption quite literally and so we arrange the press conference for him and it was on a monday morning he was standing here. he was up here and we had a podium we had that podium and we had it here and he was standing here and it's from this position he raised on the guardian front page. and you know that's when the whole thing started so this is the guardian from this morning 40 to 40 pages about this topic. all cycling currently in the spiegel 17 pages. just a couple of months after the video of the baghdad helicopter attack against

civilians was published yet mullen revelations appeared this time it was the afghanistan and iraq dossier as. the afghanistan and iraq does the us classified pentagon files on u.s. and allied military activity in afghanistan and iraq from 2004 to 2009. these were logs that were written by members of the military who might be out at the front door but trolling in the area and might be thinking 16 or accepting they experienced on their shift or patrol so it was almost a sort of. a very detailed war diary. by the americans and the british in but it didn't occur to me that it could be so informative. the because it was a huge data sets 400000 classified reports field reports by the u.s. army this is the most accurate description of

a war that is even being released into the historic record we have counted now 122000 sunni cultural teams in the war is nearly no street corner in baghdad that didn't have a body found that being killed 3 violence in one form or another. what we found note from iraq and afghanistan dosia is the u.s. hundreds of lonnie's are literally under reported civilian casualties prisoners of war was subjected to violent acts of torture of u.s. military personnel who were reportedly involved in child prostitution. when you have published his publishing secrets the government stops losing control of the narrative that had a narrative in iraq. no civilian did it and then they lost control of that narrative because we found out the truth. that's the power of. the

battlefield consequences of the release of these documents are potentially severe and dangerous for our troops our allies and afghan partners and may well damage our relationships and reputation in that key part of the world and one of the main criticisms that's being leveled at you is that you have published the villages that the names and some cases the g.p.s. coordinates of people afghans who cooperated with the u.s. military and a u.s. official has called it a potential hit list for the taliban what's your response to that is there was some piece to mostly. where we're looking at mission seriously to see where that is true or purge the white house to austin for assistance in reviewing material before we published the war in north korea except that request they always say oh they have blood on their hands and they get people in danger but i think if anyone would have

been killed because they would drag the person in front of the camera all proved it taken against them sold i think it's just a. is it possible that the 1st tranche from the afghan war logs could have been better redacted yes quite probably they could have been better protected had anyone there. done this before no there was no road that . i mean to insult them wiki leaks they were bushwhacking through a thick forest to try and figure out how to do this. the afghanistan and iraq dosia's were the biggest leak ever pan shone a light on war crimes allegedly perpetrated by the us can do generalize. no one from america's military has ever been held accountable. and. a little bit over 10 years ago i was contacted by. a person.

who or i didn't know at that point in time at all. wanted to meet with me and i met a. person who spoke with a very strong australian accent and he told me that he had a problem program of the wanted to do a project. when we met. my in the show the. feeling was that this was. completely outlandish and there was nothing to it so we parted way but we kept contact and a little bit later. came the publications of the collateral murder video where you could see helicopter gun down that's a u.s. helicopter in iraq gunning down reuters journalists on an open street and soon i realized that he was serious about isn't ever. julian assange invited yohannes to work with him on

a new collection of classified documents that had fallen into we can expand. this time correspondence from the united states diplomatic service. to the diplomatic cables. that we can leaks published a little bit later they were a set of internal briefings if you put it this way or analysis. that all of the american diplomats. wrote and delivered back to the state department. leaked u.s. diplomatic cables published on november the 28th 2010 it contains u.s. diplomatic correspondents from $966.00 to 2010 and includes 100000 documents marked confidential and $15000.00 marked secret. they have to understand the scale of all this release of information theory if we took these cables and we

printed them out into and they would go betweens in petersburg and moscow it is that much material i can give you a simple example of what was interesting in those cables in regard to sweden because i worked with the materials that were related in these documents we could see here and that's which politicians are going to come to the u.s. ambassador and they ask for services and the services they would ask for would be. we have a problem with the swedish public opinion they would say and as we have public opinion doesn't like the war in afghanistan and they don't want us to participate in the war afghanistan could you please help us there by inviting him some afghani women here to sweden and we'll put them on the swedish t.v. so they can talk about the good things that we're doing there suddenly you we found out that. swedish politicians and swedish public servants

undercutting the way that would be democracy is supposed to function and they're doing that together with them with you this diplomats contrary to the interests of the swedish people one of the hopeful things that i've discovered. is that really every war that is thought of. as being. serious off. the top what does that mean. that means basically populations by michael. and populations have to be fooled into war. the. issue here is an enemy combatant with uli should be closed down permanently and decisively there's a very many broken every law to stick with you it was what holds all the things that. were going to know the service is not good so the word good elysia. julian was at his height of popularity when sweet.

that he attracted. amorous ladies. it's understandable that he would be attractive to young men and he's. a young man and he said his ambition is very high and then noble noble ambitions so that made him even more attractive. to. join me every thursday on the alex simon chill when i was speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see that.
