as international partners the u.s. embassy in ukraine has responded by condemning the continuous brutal aggression by russian led forces in the dumbass. ok appreciate you company this morning you are right up today it's about with all these headlines that often out. the world is driven by dreamers shaped by phone person or those with. the bears thinks. we dare to ask.

a lot of young people know nothing about julian if. you know to julian assange 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. wiki leaks with a stockholm a lot of information about the crimes that were being committed by place to play war crimes but mostly the us governments and continually it's a matter of innocent civilians going on. for 1020 just pretend this is the 1st and they didn't think about it kind of forced us

to acknowledge it 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. you can excuse me. but this comes with the crimes i'm alone isn't being charged. he's been what 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 could curb to identify the person or persons responsible.

person. and i think that's what he's facing the dishes trying to much of the pillared kleist will wait stateside. obviously reason to suggest that he's trying to expose the crimes that. i don't think you can really understand julian assange. or wiki leaks without seeing an aspect of his life that informed him and that was absolutely here in melbourne and informed him not only in terms of his ideas. his personality his expertise but also his conceptual thinking about forming software projects including working. so

melbourne in the late eighty's and early ninety's became the center of the a strain underground which included cars and experimenters and also. not just 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 and when they did. this 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. new.

person. to use memory understanding. to do. just that he would be for a short time. 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 to have the. and the more procedures see 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 suspicion insists on october the 16th 1989 nasa was attacked by what was known as the wang 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. 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. and nick and i were wizard because she would always. come up with a new approach to things your way of looking at. what a number of truck 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 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 result

my players from harvard cup or 3 years. until 2. fastened 6 or something like that quite early on then you're right and julian said. i'd like to stop and we can . learn this week he would concern so it's only. when we would use 3 total as an anonymous from people who wanted to me 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 very well how can i help. what i've always taken nature's aphorism. to hide leave diners for me.

leave dangerous we don't creep around place being frightened of shadows. do what you have to do and then face the consequences the best you can. that's me my god i owe my life. this. is. not. the. 60 or 2560. that we had burst out why positions so. i 1st heard about with nixon 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 of all of your average come on. the helicopter shot up some civilians and in the process shot to his job was to local forces jones and they also shot up some children in a car. you know you don't want to grow around the area. or even. american military personnel misidentified civilians as rebels. from overhead it looked as though one of the men had a gun. but it was just

a reuters camera man holding. that they saw the collateral but mortar b.t.o. said the as we know for get those for again because they escaped it was what the 1st time as 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 figure not the body. but 2 children well that they were in a van when the father approached the side of the shooting to help victims or do we have individuals go on. to monitor. roger 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. officer who went to the van and discovered there were 2 children there that will wounded he said the little girl couldn't blink because her eyes were full of glass and he tried to produce the class from out eyes when he spoke to his supervisor and wanted to take her to a decent hospital they was told wash out you know for john up. to the 1st time when stored. disability in casualties the innocent people who were killed in both afghanistan and iraq and this was all kept from the public. doing sons showed real bravery in being willing to publish frankly and fearlessly that is idio and i think that there are people within the us military who have

never forgiven him for it. that helicopter attack resulted in 12 deaths 2 children one did no one from the american military has ever been held accountable . i know. no shots. know. which your thirst for action.

2 months ago most of them are going to cite. the theories here if you're interested in hearing founder julian assange the only analyst on credible revelations on the wiki one site she in this small room. with these new material 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 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. enabled the whistleblower who were. 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. the day we released over 287. documenting the reality of an international mass surveillance industry. who here has an eye for.

beauty and has a black berry. he uses g.-mail. well you're all screwed. what is this place then where were all those files actually kept. in the cloud it's somewhere. julian magically. computers digitalize ration and information and before we. know when someone called you know songs not on the door from mine i was quite pleased to see him i was quite keen 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 the press club and. it all happened in this room i mean julian

literally turned off and knocked on the door and literally knocked on the door 2 days before that press conference saying i want to press conference on today and i saw quite literally and so we arranged a 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 have the 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 i can correlate in the spiegel 17 phage is. 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 he goes 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 or patrolling in the area and might be things seen or accepting make spirit. 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 classified reports field reports by the u.s. army this is the most accurate description in all hold that is if not being released into the story we are counted now 120000

sunni triangle teams in the wall is nearly no street corner in baghdad that didn't have a body that fell into being killed 3 bonds and one form or another. but what we found out from iraq and afghanistan dosia is the u.s. under these allegedly 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. and you have published his publishing secrets the government stops losing control of the narrative that had a narrative in iraq and no civilian did. and then they lost control of that narrative because we found out the truth. that's the power of we hear. 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 war and one of the main criticisms that's being leveled at you is that you have published the village is 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 who. called it a potential hit list for the taliban what's your response to that there was appears to mostly be a media paedophile ring where we're looking at the issue seriously to see where that is true approach the white house to austin for assistance in reviewing material before we publish the white house in order to accept that request they always say oh they have blood on their hands they get people in danger but i think if anyone would have been killed because of we kill x. they would have dragged to the person in front of the camera all proved it or taken

it against them 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 no there was no road map i mean killing a soldier wiki leaks they were bushwhacking through thick forests to try and figure out how to do this. the afghanistan and iraq don't see just what the biggest leak of a man shown alone he told the war crimes allegedly perpetrated by the us can be generalized . 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 a. person who spoke with a very strong australian accent and he told me that they had a problem program of they wanted to do a project. where we met. my in the. feeling was that this was. completely outlandish and there was nothing doing. 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 so when 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 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. you have to understand the scale of all this release of information 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 could see here 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 but we really. we have a problem with. through the swedish public opinion they would sit there and the swedish public opinion doesn't like the war in afghanistan and they don't want us to participate in the war is going to stop could you please help us there by inviting in some afghani women here it's we've done that and we'll put them on the swedish t.v. so they can talk about the good things that we're doing there some of them to europe we found out the. swedish politicians and swedish shrimp public servants they're cutting the way the madrid 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 that. every war that is thought of. as being a result. mediocrity what does that mean. that means basically populations by market. 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 aerial units big wiki leaks was what hotel is that. going on in the service it's not that it's open up in the middle of it good elysia. julian was at his height of popularity when

sweden. that he attracted. i'm a slave. it's understandable that he would be attractive to young men and he's. a young man and he said to his. very high and noble noble man base and so that made he made. more attractive.

we go to work so you could stay home. you cannot be both with the yeah you like. i know no crowd. no shots no. factionalism felt. when i was

drafted no 1st 12. points your thirst for action. i'm hot your. date american city of fulton's into what was a trump sends in federal agents to question us to look at how his tactics echo. previous presidents overseas to improve their reelection chances. so paying for historic cities in the u.s. preparations for minority communities a move that's the question. we're going to pay for are you go pay for a reason i do you mean me out of my home is going to be really in the dollars to come up with people. and they could come up with the same amount of money.
