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 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. or dead countries 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 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 occurred 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 will wait stateside. hobbie any reason to suggest that he's not 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 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 others 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 historic town halls in melbourne. and other members of that technology community were here in their late teens and early twenty's shopping for computer bits and exchanging ideas and information about how to experiment with hardware and software. in the.

personally i'm used. to. the memory 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 tapped. 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 wang virus that 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 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 julius development as a young adult. as a young man julian was. a daughter actually. nick and i

were wizard because he would always. come up with a new 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 having a cup of tea. or 2. 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 beautifully. and we would use 3 total as an anonymous from people who wanted to name 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 for warnings very well how can i help. what i've always taken nature's aphorism. to hide leave diners for me. leave diners 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. to see. you. not. to see. 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 chain 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 out. there on. the helicopter shot up some civilians and in the process shot to his job as 2 local forces jones and they also shot up some children in a car. or 2 minor. grown around the area. already. 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. the what. did they saw the

collateral but mortar b.t.o. a city as we know for get. us for again because a school it was what the 1st time as i was screaming loud at my office this is the souldiers arc with dist emotional detachment as they were playing video games and now 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 might serve over. approaching a figure not the body. but 2 children well. they were in a van when the father approached the side of the shooting to help to mr horn we have individual going. to monitor. 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. officer who went to

them 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 remove the 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. for the 1st time when stored disability and 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 us military who have never forgiven him for it. that helicopter attack resulted in 12 deaths

2 children one that. no one from the american military has ever been held accountable. capitalism in the united states the united states the leading capitalists in this country are now global. middle class jobs with. reality. from you would see other emerging trying to live at the rear by.

the sudden and illegal takeover of a government by a small group. rather than revolutionaries or soldiers small group the corporations when you have a tiny people who have all the power you have to have some means to. get together and take it back. please or sacrifice some. places that capitalism exploited and destroyed for profit and left behind misery poverty environmental devastation and so you see things like voter suppression building more prisons you seem gerrymandering all sorts of undemocratic practices. in that world focused world.

2 months ago most people never. assume the only of the credible. revelation found the woman using words like she in this small room. with these 2 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 has become a hot global topic but he found 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 at low cost with just the right to. 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 on the international mass surveillance industry. here as annoying. as a black berry. he uses g.-mail. well you're all screwed. what is this place and where were all those files actually kept . in the cloud it's somewhere. julian magically brought to. a computer just digitalized

and information and put before the public. when someone called you know. from. 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 frontline club 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 on the announce 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 arranged 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 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. 40 pages about this topic. also karzai 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 he knows 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 an area and might be things they've 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 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 of all told it is even being released into the historic record we are counted now 120000 in the sunni triangle teams in the war is nearly no street corner in baghdad didn't have a body that fell into being killed 3 volumes and one form or another. what we found out from the 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. 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 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 world of the one of the main criticisms as 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 your beat up i mean where we're looking at the issue seriously to see whether that is true the approach the white house to all think or assist. since in reviewing material before we published the white house in order to accept their request they always say all they have blood on their hands and they get people in danger but i think if anyone would have been killed because of we killings they would have dragged to the person in front of the camera all proved it or taken it 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 no there was no roadmap i mean telling the sergeant 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 they have a plan shone a light on war crimes allegedly perpetrated by the us and its allies. 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 i 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. when we met. my initial. feeling was that this was. completely outlandish and there was nothing do it so we parted way but we kept contact and

a little bit later. came the publications for the collateral murder video where you could see helicopter. that's. u.s. helicopter in iraq gunning down reuters journalists on an open street and soon i realized that he was serious about his and 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. you have to understand the scale of 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 could 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 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 this we are sure of 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 afghanistan could you please help us there by inviting some . afghani women here it is 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 swedes are sure as public servants they're cutting the way the 2 democracy is supposed to function and they're doing that 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 is thought of. as being a result of. mediocrity what does that mean. that means basically populations by like will. and populations have to be formed and will.

be treated as an enemy combatant which really should be closed down permanently and decisively designed to reduce any broken aerial units to you it was like a hotel it was a. service it's not that so that it would 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 she said to his. very high and noble noble ambitions so that made him even more attractive.

oh i look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. i robot must obey the orders given by human beings except where such orders to conflict with the 1st law should your identification for should be very careful about official intelligence and the point obesity is too great trust. only on theories chozen with artificial intelligence will summon the demon. must protect its own existence as existence.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy foundation let it be an arms race in. spearing dramatic development only mostly i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical of time to sit down and talk. drugs has come from unscrupulous dealers but from pharmacies to in every state in the united states we seem very sharp increase in the number of people seeking treatment for addiction to prescription opioids invited to 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 soon who's to blame patients doctors manufacturers.
