4:00 am
miss lewis shell find new people for the the the right here news here on, on the international. yeah, that's our lives. a british prison off the 5 years in confinement and is on route to the us surgery the pacific to finalize a big deal. but his freedom, this was struggling citizen. he was not a citizen, the united states. he was not in the united states when this felony is what i say was to his credit, he did not steal the information aside is home, right? upset expects him to return. there all through the final us hearing. last off the serious concerns about his house was the experiencing in the papers and with us on the hell with heating is published. numerous classified documents here in the us in the crime around the world.
4:01 am
the live the most go. this is all to my name is ross, i'm i mean so 2 minutes of news and views now joined us search the founder of the media organization. what felix has been released from a british prison and has flowed out of the country, also lindsay legal backbone. and so as it reads it to plead guilty into a single criminal charge in the us and his bible against expedition, according to what he thinks the size of the u. k. is belmore maximum security prison on monday, off the spending 1901 days behind balls is invalid and i call so and flew out of london that apple is a patient of a song. the rid settings is homeland astray,
4:02 am
to his wife. i the chief editor who he lives have spoken out in praise of his he is long flight for press, read the truth and justice for 12 years on i'm visiting join in a high security prison, but this, this period of our lives, i'm confident now has come to an end, and i think that by this time, next week join will be free. the cost of julia and of course, has been to deprive of 3 the for all these years in the bathroom for journalistic freedom. freedom to publish foundation of democracy. throughout the years of julian's imprisonment and persecution, i'm incredible. movement has been formed a movement of people from all walks of life from around the world who supports not just join and not just us in our family,
4:03 am
but what to him stands for truth and justice. as ours is just landed in thailand, from day is on to flight to the u. s. line and tennessee and the pacific ocean appeared before the court. is it so it seemed to be credited for the 5 years. he has already so in prison and not to face any more jail time. let's take a look at the us case documents from at least 2009 and continuing through at least 2011 and the defense begun and committed outside of the jurisdiction of any particular state or district of the united states. the defendant julian, paula sanchez, who would be 1st brought to the district of the northern mariana islands, knowingly and unlawfully conspired with chelsea manning to commit the following offences against the united states to receive and obtain documents, writings and notes connected with the national defense, including such materials classified up to the secret level for the purpose of
4:04 am
obtaining information, respecting the national defense. it seems that this decision to a full this please do think he took it on his own or did he with pressurized? well, i think it's a bit of a mix of both because if we look at what the united nation says about solitary confinement, julian assigns has literally been tortured in prison. and it's clear that his health has been deteriorating over his years of confinement. so it's, it's a really understandable why julian assigns would plead guilty to this charge of conspiracy when the us is essentially ready to let him walk after the bad news is that he has to plead guilty to conspiracy to obtain and disclose national defense info, which means the us security states succeeded in criminalizing journalism at extending the jurisdiction globally to norm citizens. julian had to take this. he has heart problems, and he would have died in prison. but the security state has imposed a horrifying president and built a big blow to freedom of the press. the font is australia and his own american. i
4:05 am
mean, there's a new mean, expedited to australia. well, you would think, right? but because this involves the united states, washington's once again proving to the world's that it feels like it can do whatever it wants. it can break whatever international norms it wants, it can completely disregard what it so called. it's so called rule of law that it always says it hold. so say a career. i mean this case that the assigns is going to go through with this court cases. not even going to take place on the mainland of the united states, taking place and overseas territory. and the western specific called the northern mariana islands. and i think it's safe to say, but if this situation or a situation like it took place with any other country in the world, this would all be going down a lot differently. this was a strolling citizen. he was notices in the united states. he was not in the united states when this felony is what they say was, was credit. he did not steal the information. if the dissemination of this
4:06 am
information is a crime, then every person where i now stand in the palm of the strategies of the state is on the way to the united states of america. because your printers and you know, that creates a mess of confusions. i didn't want to, i want to place in australia where if i offend the crown, i'm off to read. if i've seen the chinese communist party, most advising or an australian citizen who has offends a lower in the united states of the north side, unless he's in the united states, when he, when he commits it. and that's the case. that's a, that's a completely different issue. but from what i read and of course we're all very new to this is to a plea deal on a felony. a lot of people are saying that this is a great development they're celebrating and to a certain extent it is. but we also have to remember that julie and a sons' already paid the price of for, for just being a journalist after over a decade of contending with the raft of washington. and it's, you know, this, this decision by the united states to do this really looks more than anything like a conveniently timed political play by the,
4:07 am
by an administration. because we've got only a couple days left before the upcoming debates between trump and fight and, and now i, you know, by no doubt is hoping to look like some sort of merciful progressive fresh in the minds of the american people. it's great, the julian assigns will finally be released in what smells like a desperate bite and gamut for libertarian votes. but it's shame told that he had to spend years writing in a foreign prison for doing what other reporters do regularly. it all goes back to when again join us on received the materials from a former us army soldier, chelsea manning to receive sensitive materials that basically expose to us work crimes across the middle east. and for that, he was on the run from the law from the united states. again, even though he was an australian citizen, he had to uh, find refuge in the ecuadorian embassy in london for 7 years. he was confined there . um, and once the uh, government of ecuador to ended up changing hands,
4:08 am
they ended up handing them over to the british authorities there. they spent the next 5 years in a maximum security prison being tortured in solitary confinement. so this is uh, basically, you know, why it looks like doing the sanchez gone for this saga just for receiving materials and doing his job as a journal. i suppose live now to see it on do it up cause he's joining us from body call. who is good to see interesting times exciting times. bitter sweet. so i'm hopeful that when you 1st heard that uh yeah. sort of has been released possibly fried for life, but oil. so the 1st i felt joy as i was not being as for assigned for the end to his suffering for the last 5 years. but then i realized he
4:09 am
does. this is something he doesn't have to go through. he committed no crime. we all know the only cried julia sancho committed was to expose the united states war crime scene off to and this done and you rock us empire saw embarrass. so they saw a personal vendetta against him. again, did you hear a song she is not a us citizen, yet us. the soul call will base international order. apparently it's about was meeting washington, which means the us laws now extends all over the globe even to on. that's really and citizen who resides outside of united states. we're estimating this information while she was outside the united states. again, a week. his job as a journalist. yeah, sunny is, are interesting. they did the, i'd say is no. seems to think that it's police in the world, but when we look at so the money is they've been in s as in legal baffles with as you,
4:10 am
as far as why do you think that now washington of decided to to make that bill to they just will this to all go way? but this is the election year. it's closely contested election between bite and, and trump. this is probably bytes and selection gambits one to remove the stain of detaining julia sondra, which is a big uh, which expose the hypocrisy of the us values and at the same time bite. and that was probably hoping to win some boats to ship passing himself off as some of been invalid, regressive to show mercy to us on it is. and so he will say if, if those um, if what he's done by that is done or given the okay one and 5 boost his popularity many b i spoke to guess anybody people said that most people in america don't really know . did it as long as is, was just sad, but that's another story. but let me talk to
4:11 am
a little bit about former us vice president. mike pays that. he recently tweeted that he strongly he recently tweed just saying that a sondors should be sent back to jail. i quote, prosecuted to the fullest extent of the little what do you make of such a reaction from him to? well, 1st of all, my goodness is you relevant, you know, to use a private citizen. he has no who has no official position and there's no waiting how he is going to make a wrong for 2nd, i get a position in the 2nd trump presidency. if it comes to pass, so whatever my pen says is irrelevant at this point, he's just trying to pass him out in the public eye and, and, and use assigned to issue to promote his own standing among his, his crowd. this is a kid. this is a issue if you start reading any votes just like fight and it's not going to
4:12 am
probably not going to win any votes with this. so call acts of mercy because the bike, you know, bite and it has much more impact, more serious credibility gas, you know, he's now know as a general side vices. i don't think it the selection gap it will play out. again, my tendency just the relevant. yeah. very interesting call before i let you go, a couple more things, you know, the size chose not to face trial in the american quote. he went his eyes to go to the pacific islands that i did think he was fearful of his life or fearful of uh, the getting of of the food said yeah, i would be, i mean, he has been out fairly detained for 5 years. the maximum security prison, but under solitary confinement, if i were in his position, i would not request the government of united states. i mean,
4:13 am
he's basically forced to accept the, the bargain to a bogus charge of violating us. it's been ya, jack. and, and, and i think this is a, this is a compromise for him to finally be free to see, to be with his family. so yeah, and it's interesting that you to talk about a, that's prison about loss is the maximum security prison. we know that he spends $23.00 out of 24 hours every single day and a 2 by 3 blocks, basically no sunlight. and i mean this kind of conditional forces glenn damage anybody's health. i mean, if the house is super asked me in the world, if you spend time in those conditions, you would also have damage to a house. but what do you make of this treatments to a mine that was kind of meant, officially hasn't been officially charged with anything,
4:14 am
but it is sort of like guantanamo bay. i mean, we'll do a full as well because the united states was embarrassed by the inflammation view. spelled to review the wiki lee, and if it's pursuing and then data against the person assigned is seeking to make, make him a example to any would be whistle blowers who wished to expose us some more tribes . this is really a, this is not about who will base international orders. this is not about justice. this is just united states out to get this revenge. yeah, it's interesting it so, so, but whistle blows. i do think when i say as a, as in 5 as a bunch of criminalize journalism. oh, you mean is that bad photos fail long time ago? it was especially when had they have arrested assignments and, and this is why today much of the so called mainstream media in the west, not just in the united states that became soak bias. and you know,
4:15 am
they're basically became most piece of washington because they, they know what would happen. do you think go against what, what, what would happen? i, mainstream media clarity world. let's say, i mean, it shouldn't be so full thing. old journalism should read me some full thing. freedom of speech was the us and it's back on uh, you know, it was the new times of a gag. well, they are. it's part of the threat. but i think the, most importantly, it's a what we now have is access journalism. these journalists, they get their scoops, so cost groups long, their connections within the establishment. and now they, these that look cements directly to cut them off, you know, which is their bread and butter is. so your order to play nice, they have to hold the line so to speak. you know, they extend straight too far from your official position and they sorry for him.
4:16 am
but luckily, the other news outlets around the world, but be from what i can get a perspective. okay. we're not familiar with that. call is obviously it's on to the joining us from barley. thanks again for your time. thank you. now what he thinks pass of this new was classified us don't. who is am plug gazing, the american move in will crimes on exposing other controversies, encore us on it, but right across the river. so deep into those details. a stake of this also known as collateral. murder, it's 2010. which lakes release is classified us military floods. it's showing coma helicopters, conducting a series of attacks on baghdad. and this was in 2007, and they killed over a dozen people, including to void her staff. right.
4:17 am
you a nice shoot them off buddy. my gosh, pick up the sportage calls outrage on one side and of course panic on the other. it was not the for such incidents and definitely not the last but this time. not only that it involved journalists, but more importantly, there was video evidence which was made worse, while the fact that the perpetrators were so adamant in the claims of innocence. we regret the loss of innocent life, but this incident was promptly investigated and there was never any attempt to cover up any aspect of this engagement. the words that kept forming on my lips were cold blooded murder. the u. s. military. they just, they lied to us,
4:18 am
it was all lies. southerly. everyone knew about what felix n julianna songs the thoughts as was social care and it was picked up by most international media outlets. it may be, wes looked bad so the homes was on and eventually the source was exposed. and american soldier at the time called bradley manning and later chelsea after his transition or he leaves around $0.75 to military and diplomatic documents. monitoring was court martialed and convicted of espionage among other charges and jailed by us authorities. 2010 was a tough a year for the us, as with the legs delivered another bomb shell. and that one really blew the lead on the true scale of devastation caused by the american military's actions abroad. the iraq and ask and war diaries became a sensation. the rock files revealing a huge stuff. so as well as cases of abuse and torture by us led coalition forces
4:19 am
to the reports detail, 109000 32 deaths in a rock comprised of 66081 civilians. 23984 enemy. those labeled as insurgents. 15196 host nation. rocky government forces and 3771 friendly coalition forces. the majority of the dust, 66000, over 60 percent of these, our civilian deaths, that is 31 civilians dying every day. during the 6 year period. there were nearly 400000 military logs. it was a mess. washington claim that which leaks was put in american soldiers in danger by releasing this information to learn. the songs, however, argued that it was necessary to expose just how many lives were senselessly lost around the world due to us policies. what is the most single,
4:20 am
damming revelation? the real story of this material is it, it's for it's one damn thing often of most of it, this is for our as a result of the everyday scala. overall, these leaks covers the us military's actions during the war and they've gotten this dawn from 2004 to 2010. well, they revealed, call us from forces attacks on civilians from the fire incidents as well as, as gun forces attacking each other. and once again a much higher death. so including hundreds of civilians previously on reports as by the coalition. and here's just one example. maureen then fired $56.00 meet around at the bus. there are 4, ex, coalition forces wounded in action to ex civilian killed, 13 next civilian injured. the main salt from the lakes was washington's cover up of
4:21 am
the true scale of civilian casualties from the media and the public with a staggering amount of attacks by coalition troops on ask and civilians. it does appear to be evidence of all crimes in this material. these files bring to light what's been a consistent trend by us and nato forces, the concealment of civilian casualties, despite numerous tactical directives, ordering transparent investigations. when civilians are killed, there have been incidents i've investigated in recent months where this is still not happening. the 2011 brought new leaks and this time it was about those that changed at guantanamo bay. her to see of the us department of defense. so 779 people were imprisoned there from 2002. the eldest, been an 89 year old, african village are suffering from dementia, and the youngest. a 14 year old,
4:22 am
innocent kidnapping victim. some people were caged up for reasons like we're a cost fuel watch. themes suspicious apparently because there was use this timers by all call you the i was sleep deprived, i was beaten to liberal commodity. i was not given food for a very long periods of time. i was situated, assaulted on multiple occasions, seem to provision the for 70 days, mostly. and all to 0 reporter was obtained for 6 years to prove non existent links between the news outlets. and i'll call you to, even if you put someone in how they are going to say it's great because they just left guantanamo. the media is not asking the real questions. how are they going to be re united with their families? what are they going to live on once they are released, hundreds of lives destroyed in secrecy, with no fair trial and 0 regard for the law. now made headlines around the world and the world seemed grateful that
4:23 am
a sound had exposed how the us illegally the tape and even tortured innocence, people for years. the crucially, the files also contain detailed explanations of the supposed intelligence used to justify the prisoner's detention. the documents drawn the testimony of witnesses in most cases, the prisoner's fellow prisoners whose words are unreliable, either because they were subjected to torture or other forms of coersion, sometimes not in guantanamo, but in secret prisons run by the ca, or because they provided false statements to secure a better treatment in guantanamo us. authorities that all that they could to destroy with leaks and so islands. julian, his sons, who ultimately paid the heaviest prize for exposing their on the countable corruption and war crimes. independent, jealous, really shouldn't matter. as high as personally take him posit and pro to us and support him. judy as long as he thinks the what's helix found the southern freedom
4:24 am
to us southern go by the struggling reelection campaign. i'm very happy for him because the media and england they didn't help at all. you know, when i was in court, the mainstream media, they wouldn't show up or they would come on the last day and they would report, inaccurately, they wouldn't even talk about what actually happened inside the court. there was a lot of support from the people. we had a lot of politicians coming in from, from england, from around europe. they have lots of parliamentary groups around the world, including in australia. and it's because of people coming to the quote and protesting that julie is free and, and he's was the most famous political presume in the world. so i'm very, very happy that he's finally freed. he deserves to be with his family. so the buttons, ministration. i don't think they wanted to free him because if they wanted to, they have 4 years to do it. i think that they're losing a lot of support any not today's, especially with young voters who elected by didn't the 1st time around and they're
4:25 am
losing a lot of support because of the, the genocide this i think also. so to make up for that loss and supports the binding administration, i'm trying to win over some people by letting the songs go free and then saying, oh look when we were not prosecuting him anymore. i think it's important for people to remember that this was a bipartisan effort, that's the trump administration with mike pay, it was thought to this, and it's joe biden who continued this actually longer than they did the prison that he was in, in belmore. um, you know, when you stand outside belmont, it's like your looking at the black gate or more door. it's like really bleak and it's a prison that is resolved usually for people who are, you know, like serial killers or terrorist or something like that. if you really have to do something very, very, very bad to be sent there. and, and julian songs did not commit a violent crime. he didn't commit any crime. and when they sent him that it just shows that what they're doing is very political. because it's like to send a message, you know, it's to show other journalists that if you publish evidence of us war crimes and
4:26 am
you show what america is doing and have gotten a son in iraq, we will also send you to guantanamo bay. oh, we will send you to uh, belmont, because brooke bell last has actually called the british guantanamo based pricing. ive damaged the reputation permanently because this is, you know, it's in the record now forever. it's in the court records and it's on the figurative record as well. so yeah, we can, we've always going to look back at this, this, this extradition case, right? we look at, for example, um socrates or for example, the dreyfus affair. so you know, this is a historic, a taste that happened. you know, he, julian is on stuff. it, but it's also the reputation of the united states that will suffer even more. um, you know, i should point out that about the 1st amendment. this is a very, very important point in the case because the assurance is that the united states
4:27 am
provided. so were rejected by the court in england. so even, even the british court said, you know, this is not good put enough for us. and one of the points is exactly because of the 1st amendment, because the americans was saying, if doing songs comes to the united states, we will not, you know, allow him to say that he has 1st amendment rights, which is very, it's contradiction because they want to take the united states law and talk to him with it. but then when he tries to defend himself under the united states little by saying that he has 1st amendment rights. they said no, it's not allowed those as a those you know, song due to and he to show the world tomorrow. i've been blown cost on all team. they include interviews as will lead to have fun enough develop. i'm for my, i could do it in front of rafael. clarissa will, they will go off the highlights from those programs throughout the day. right. and you can also apply them on a website called c dot com for now. here's
4:28 am
a quick review on one of the episodes the drink, full of guantanamo prison. that was, i'm bag, who became the star it. and so few more, right? as i said, when you encounter you sign, the confession was owned and prepared to fight alongside the taliban arcade. against the us in dollars and eventually retreated to tora, bora, to flee from us, forces went out for our lives, collapsed. i, knowing we provided comfort and assistance, okay. the members by housing, their families, to distribute okay to propaganda and received members from terrace combs. knowing that certain trainees could become okay alternatives and commit acts of terrorism to get started states. so that language is that how you normally see um no, i don't normally if this sounds like it comes from the statute. yeah. what brought me to the point where i would find something like this was being tied up with my eyes was left on my back to my legs with a good place to have my head being punched and kicked, listening to the sounds,
4:29 am
a woman screaming next door untold is only led to believe is my wife, my children's pictures being waved in front of me and being aust, uh by these interrogators. when do you think you're going to see them again? what do you think happened to them that might, that we took you from the way to think though, right? now, what are these inferences? which clearly suggested to me that the only way out is to either give up and assign whatever it is that they want me to do or to, to, to resist and, and to help with what happens to my family. so an estimate this top choice that i was presented with a while that i was up this new. so as always it's great to have your company, hey, with us on our end to us. so we'll be back in about 30 minutes of the
4:30 am
time julian assange, editor of we see leaks with expose the world secret. these documents blown united states government being attacked by the powerful united states strongly condemned, illegally shoot the sun for $500.00 days. now i've been detained without charge, but that hasn't stopped us today, we're on a quest for revolutionary ideas that can change the world tomorrow. today, i am joined by an intellectual superstar this lavine and philosopher level agent, a former anti communist. this event now turned self described coming together. we call david horowitz, a full.
