small seemed wrong all right old roll just all. the world to get to shape out of this thing if you can get educated and engaged equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. chance to look for common ground.

a lot of young people know nothing about julian if. you know julian assange do you know anything about this man and what happened to him do you want to know bad bad 10 years ago. wiki leaks with a stockholm lot of information about the crimes that were being committed by. a war crimes but mostly the us governments and continually the murder of innocent civilians is going on. it's going to be just pretend and this is the 1st and i think thing about it kind of forced us to acknowledge it's you know we couldn't ignore it. he's an idealist based on a mission he's on a mission to empower people with information. to use restraint.

but this comes with the crimes i'm alone isn't being in charge. he's made while 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 occur 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 clyde's we've got just yet. obviously reason to suggest that he's not he's

trying to expose the crimes that. the. the. i don't think he 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 it formed 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 others 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. 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 and information about how to experiment with hardware and software. in the. us.

memory understanding. i didn't. just write it would be for a short while by. 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 10. 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 you know thora g.'s with a suspicions. of 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 there when quorum 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 julius development as a young adult. as a young man joanne hrs. ago are actually. nick and i were wizard because edward always. come up with

a near approach to things your way of looking at things. what a number of track 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 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 it so certainly. and we would use 3 tall as an anonymous from people who wanted to name 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 you say well how can i help. but i've always taken nature's aphorism. to hide leave diner's for me. leave dangerous me don't creep around the place being frightened of shadows. do what you have to do to them face

the consequences as 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 voice is just too local for his job and they also shot up some children in a car. or 2 minor. grown 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. the what. did they saw the collateral but mortar b.t.o. a city as we know for get the forget because they escape it was what the 1st time

as i was screaming loud at my own feast this salty tears are us with dissed emotional detachment as they were playing video games ending 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 one. day 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 got my terrible over. approaching

a figure not the body. but 2 children well that they were in a van when the father approached the scene of the shooting to help mr horn we have individual go on. 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 that there were 2 children at that were wounded he said the little girl couldn't blink

because her eyes were full of grass and he tried to 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 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 son 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 one that. no one from the american military has ever been

held accountable. well the pandemic no certainly no borders and is applying to nationalities. this summer if we don't come with the we don't look like seeing the whole world needs to be. people. judging. 2 coming every crisis at least. we can do better we should. everyone is contributing to each of our own way but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever the challenge is creating the response has been masked so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together.

the world is driven by shaped by. the. military thinks. we dare to ask. is you'll be via reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. high

salacious whole community. are you going the right way or are you being led. by. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or a maybe in the shallows. to months ago most people who never read the sign. here is an original in a certain ring found in some of the only an astronomy more revelation found when using one scientology and its nonsmoking room some of the much least on the news on after collateral julian assange revealed his identity and was known i mean it was

front page news all over the world at that point. julian assange has become a hot global topic but he had for. and a way to publish classified information and made it available to anyone who wanted to share 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. 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. documenting the reality of the international mass surveillance industry. who here has an i phone.

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 is somewhere. julian magically brought together. and computers digitalize asian and information and put before the public. when someone called you know saul's knocked on the door from my club and 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 a press club for justice and. it all happened in this. i mean julian literally turned up and knocked on the door and literally on the announce he knocks on the door 2 days before that press conference saying i want a press conference i'm judy and i 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 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 40 to 40 pages about this topic. also i can correlate 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 he was classified pentagon finals only 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 safe seen or 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 the war that is if it

being released into the story we are counted now $120.00 true. the sunni triangle teams are in the war there's nearly no street corner in baghdad didn't have a body fell into being killed 3 volumes and one form or another. what we found out from the iraq and afghanistan dosia's the us undertone is 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. when you have published his publishing secrets the government stops losing control of the narrative that had a narrative in iraq and. no civilian did it and then they lost control of that narrative because we found out the truth. that's the power of what he ate 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 has called it a potential hit list for the taliban what's your response to that is there was some peers to mostly be arraigned where we're looking at the issue seriously to see whether that is true they approached the white house to austin for assistance in reviewing material before we published the white house you know it's hard to accept their 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 blatant lie is it possible that the 1st tranche of data from the afghan war logs could have been better redacted yes quite probably they could have been better redacted had anyone ever done this before no there was no roadmap i mean join such an wiki leaks they were bushwhacking through a thick forest to try and figure out how to do this. via afghanistan and iraq don't see just what the biggest leak of a pan shone a light on war crimes allegedly perpetrated by the us can digitalize. 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 in time at all. the wanted to meet with me and i met a. person who spoke with a very strong australian accent and he told me that they had a problem program of the wanted to do a project. when we met. my initial. 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 in an open street and soon i realized that he was serious about isn't ever. julian assange invited us to work with him on

a new collection of classified documents that had fallen into we can expand. this time. respondents from the united states diplomatic service. 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 good contains u.s. diplomatic correspondents from 966 to 2010 and includes 100000 documents marked confidential and 15000 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 a 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 of them 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 there is we have 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 some afghani women here to sweden and we'll put them on swedish t.v. so they can talk about the good things that we're doing there suddenly you're 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 the. together with them with us said diplomats contrary to the interests of the swedish people one of the hopeful things that i've discovered. is that really every war that has started this. has been resolved. media on it what does that mean. that means basically populations by michael. and populations have to be fooled into war. should be treated as an enemy combatant with uli should be closed down properly and decisively designed to reduce any broken every law to stick would you think it was with the hotel of his or. the no services it's not that it's open up the 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 who said his mission is very high and noble noble ambitions so that made him even more attractive. to. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see that.

problem drugs $10.00. come from unscrupulous dealers but from pharmacies to in every state in the united states we see me very sharp increase in the number of people seeking treatment for addiction to prescription opioids it's invaded america under the banner of medicine persisted with the pain but instead of trying to wean him off though she just goes after dose after dose after dose and really became his drug dealer who's to blame patients doctors manufacturers the government's. financial survival. when customers go by. when else will reduce and lower. that's undercutting but what's good for markets it's not good for the global economy.
