the world is driven by a dreamer shaped past and present those but. i am. no jerry thinks. we dare to ask. a lot of young people know nothing about julian as. you know julian astounding do you know anything about this man and what happened to him do you want to know

about it that it's 10 years ago. in the wiki leaks with a stockholm lot of information about the crimes that were being committed by western governments play war crimes but mostly the us governments and particularly the murder of innocent civilians. or of the country it's just pretend and this is the fest and they didn't think about the economics it kind of forced us to acknowledge it's you know we couldn't ignore him . he's an idealist he's on a mission he's on a mission to harm. people and the information. you can excuse me. but this comes with the crimes i'm alone isn't being charged. he's been well he was in the ecuadorian embassy for 8 years 7 or 8 in. a long time he spent in the

prisons 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 dishes trying to match the old village lights and we'll wait stateside. obviously reason to suggest that he's trying to expose the crimes that. the. the. 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. in the sense of people who broke into things illegally but also people who just experimented with. it 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 this square in central melbourne.

this is the historic town hall and it was the site along with some other historic town halls in melbourne. and other members of that technology community were here in their late teens and early twenty's stopping for computer bits and exchanging ideas information about how to experiment with hardware and software. new. computer. person to. use due to memory understanding. i didn't. anticipate 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 went 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 daughter her choice. is nick and i am orders wizard because she would. be hard to come up with a near approach to things your way of looking at things. what a number of truck person have said to me is that. they get a different perspective on the world from the systems they've been in and that's because they are able to see the actual information these are. directly

contradicting what an organization 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. players and 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 it so it's only. when we reduce the total as an anonymous from people who want to turn me information and that information

coming. 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 you say well how can i help. what i've know is taken nature's aphorism. to hide leave diner's for me. leave dangerous we don't creep around the place being frightened of shadows. do what you have to do than face the consequences and best you can. that's me my god i owe my life. to see. you. not.

60 or 2560. that we had burst out the opposition's so. i 1st heard about with nukes and you know aside. from the helicopter food chain in iraq the famous was he was where we saw. the helicopter shoot people on the ground. i am all of. them on. their own and. the helicopter shot up some civilians and in the process shot to his job just to local forces chose and they also shot up some children in

a car. bomb around the area knowing 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 a long. did they saw the collateral but mortar b.t.o. said he as we know for get. us for again because say screw it was what the 1st time is i was screaming loud at my own face these. soldiers are us with dissed emotional detachment as they were playing video games and me

with the lives of people 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 be 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 my pair of over. approaching a big nobody. but 2 children well that they were in a van when the father approached the scene of the shooting to help to mr horn we have individuals going. to monmouth.

rogering. fire. where and. that's what's 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 then it was the young. army 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 turn the cross from her 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. showing sons showed real bravery in being willing to publish frankly and fearlessly that video 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. play. play. play. live.

live. live. live live. live. play. play. play play. play live . oh.

please. list. lists lists lists play. list. and a very warm welcome to you watching us in such. from . 2 months ago most of them are going to decide this is. near israel and its would

remain around to leave islam is the only interest on credible revelation on the any one site she in this small room. with he's going to do this after collateral mother 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 has become a hold global topic but he'd found a way to publish classified information and made it available to 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. it enabled the whistleblower who were at low cost with just the right d.v.d. and the use of the right tools to anonymously. blow the whistle by transmitting

like large amounts of data. the day we release over 287. documenting the reality on the international mass surveillance industry. who here has. been has a blackberry or. he uses e-mail. well you're all screwed. what is this place and where were all those files. actually kept. their talent. somewhere. julian magically brought together. computers digitalize ration and information and put before the public.

when someone called you know songs knocked on the door from my own club i was quite pleased to see him i was quite keen that we would have somebody who was making the news. my name's form smith i'm a journalist. but more i run something called the front line from which i founded which is a press club and. it all happened in this room i mean julian literally turned up and knocked on the door and literally unannounced he knocks on the door 2 days before that press conference saying i want a press conference on julian assange 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 up the guardian front page. and you know that's when the whole thing started so this is the guardian from this morning 14. 40

pages about this topic. also 3 cars lead in the spiegel 17 pages. just a couple of months after the video of the baghdad helicopter attack against civilians was published yet more 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 patrolling an 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 but it

didn't occur to me that it could be so informative. because it was a huge data sets 400000 plus 5 reports field reports by the u.s. army this is the most accurate description all told it is it was being released into storage and we are counted now 120000 sunni cousins thousands in the war is nearly no street corner in baghdad didn't have a body that fell into being killed 3 violence in one form or another for what we found out from iraq and afghanistan dosia's the us is allegedly under reported civilian casualties prisoners of war was subjected to violent acts of torture at the u.s. military personnel who were reportedly involved in child prostitution.

and you have published his publishing secrets the government stops losing control of the narrative that had a narrative in iraq. no civilian did. and then they lost control of that narrative because we found out the truth. that's the power of the way he hates the battlefield consequences of the release of these documents are potentially severe and dangerous for our troops our allies and the afghan partners and may well damage our relationships and reputation in that key part of the world and one of the main criticism. has been leveled at you is that you have published the villages that the names and in 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 a piece to mostly be arraigned where we're looking at the issue seriously to see

whether that is true and approached the white house to austin for assistance injury during the trial before we published the white house in order 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 have dragged the person in front of the camera all proved it taken against them or sold i think it's just a blatant lie is it possible that the 1st tranche of dollars have from the afghan war logs could have been better redacted yes quite probably they could have been better protected had anyone ever done this before know there was no road back . i mean during the sludge and wiki leaks they were bushwhacking through a thick forest to try and figure out how to do this. the afghanistan and iraq don't see just what the biggest leak of a. war crimes allegedly perpetrated by the u.s. 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 i didn't know at that point environmental. wanted to meet with me and they met . personally spoke with a very strong australian accent and he told me that they had a problem from gram of they wanted to do a project. when we met. her my initial. feeling was that this was. completely outlandish that 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

can see helicopter 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 wiki leaks hands. this time correspondence from the united states diplomatic service. and diplomatic cables. that we can leaks published a little bit later they were a set of internal the 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 28th 2010 it contains u.s. diplomatic correspondents from $966.00 to 2010 and includes 100000 documents

marked confidential and $15000.00 marked secret. you have to understand the scale of all this release of information so 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 interest in those cables in regard to sweden because i worked with the materials that were related in these documents. we can see and that's which politicians are going to come to the u.s. ambassador and they ask for services for the services they would ask for would be. we have a problem with the swedish public opinion they would say and the swedish public opinion doesn't like the war in afghanistan and they don't want us to participate in the war in afghanistan could you please help us there by inviting in 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 if 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 with this diplomats contrary to the interests of the swedish people one of the hopeful things that i've discovered. is they took nearly every war that is thought of him. as being a result of. mediocrity what does that mean. that means basically populations by michael. and populations have to be fooled and will. be. treated as an enemy combatant which really should be closed down

permanently indecisively didn't reduce any broken every little minute big leagues was what hop on telephones are. going on in the service it's not that things open up in the middle or a good elysia. julian was at his height of popularity when sweden. that he attracted. amorous ladies. it's understandable that he would be attractive to young men and he. a young man and she said his ambitions very high and then noble noble ambition. so that made him even more attractive to.

this nobody you know the more it's true but in your circles modesty. you know before the one you much for that was a little with 3 minutes to get to more of a new. look. at. the white english sort of the new you're already in the eastern suburbs never you know made it seems to trace. cities. that stand. headers financial survival guide i don't find any i've caught up with futures. it's not an almost final that's less about my ex in the future so prescott was kaiser.
