[000:00:00;00] the for your courage and leadership and tenacity in journalism and published the kind of dixon logic and that just this depends on it the worst. ready which he links using non state hospital intelligence service. i think the man has a heart attack time. the high tech turner's the trainer, a training this he has to answer for what he has done. assigned to trace it up to

a 175 years in prison for publishing classified documents, exposing us for crime center rock and us grandstand. she has been detained since the 7th of december 2010, and one form or another. and we are now here. off to the office press, the julian pool saunders was born in 1971 in townsville australia

the in 2006. he found a wiki leaks a non profit media organization with the i'm to provide an in of a to secure an anonymous way of facilities to leak information. the in april 2010, the organization came to international attention. when they released a video showing a war crime by the us treat in iraq the in may 2010 private manning was arrested in charge of leaking classified documents to wiki leeks. including the video previously mentioned, the us diplomatic cables and reports that came to be known as the afghan war diary and the rack war logs. in july of 2010, they released an extraordinary compendium of over 91000 internal u. s. military logs of the war in afghanistan,

which revealed 195 previously and reported civilian depths in august, 2010 global mainstream media published stories accusing julian a sorry for raping to women in suite. in october, 2010 wiki leaks released the largest classified electricity industry, the rock roll knox. these drugs revealed 15000 previously and reported civilian tests. in november, 2010, they published cable gained the largest set of confidential documents ever released to the public, giving us an unprecedented insight into the us government's foreign activities. just 9 days later, a son who was arrested as a london police station on

a european arrest or run to the nation to swedish vacation. meanwhile, us officials confirmed to the straining embassy in washington. the justice department was conducting an active vigorous inquiry into whether assigned to be charge under the us little, most likely, the espionage act. 2 weeks a to be straining, an embassy in london advise the straining government. that media reports of a secret grand jury in the us against weekly was likely true. on the 16th of december, the sage was released on bail. his passport was confiscated. he was under house arrest for the next 2 years, the enough and the 2011. the u. k. supreme court will disown should be expedited to, to switch to face questionnaire of the allegation in june 2012, to avoid being taken into custody by sweet and then extradited to the wes. sayings

took asylum in ecuador, and embassy in london. the in the 2nd half of 2016, the company contracted to provide security services at the embassy by the government of ecuador, began assisting the c. i a and spying on a sage and his visitors in the embassy, they uploaded the security camera footage to an f t p server and gave the c. i a access to it. in march, 2017, which he leeks publish, vault 7, detailing the activities and capabilities of a c i a to perform electronic surveillance and cyber warfare through smartphones and other devices. it was the largest leak in the history of the c i. in april 2017, the us said that it was an hour priority to arrest the sage. in august, 2017. trump offer to sage apart if you would disclose who was responsible for leading democratic party e mails to wiki leeks. before the 2016 us presidential elections, a st. refused to give up the source. in december 2017. the us government gave

the u. k. government, a sealed warrant for a st. joe's arrest. in february, 2019 the ecuadorian government receive loans of $10200000000.00 from various multilateral institutions of which the us majority cheryl. the balloons were provided with the agreement. the sage could be removed from the embassy. the in april, 2019 u. k. police entered the embassy of ecuador and forcibly carried julianna's sage out of the building and took him away in advance. on the same day, the us indictment against him was on seal. charging him with one count, computer intrusion, he was sentenced to 50 weeks and bellmarks prisons. in the same month, sweden reopened the sexual assault investigation, and the us filed 70 new charges against the in february 2020. the extradition here in the criminal court. in june 2022,

the us department of justice issued updated 18 count indictment every face trial in the us. this phone cover it would face a sentence of a 175 pieces in prison. in november 2020 sweden dropped the rape case. after reviewing the evidence on the 4th of january 2021 judge, correct sir. rule the sage could not be extradited due to his mental health and risk of suicide. you know, to the 2020 in a 2 day appeal, but the u. s. u k. judge is safe to see us over to the decision not to expedite to search the april 2022. westminster magistrates quote, formerly issued extra dykes and some 8 weeks later. you. okay. and the secretary

pretty patel. sign goes from the, the in june of 2023 london side court, just as jonathan swift rejected 2 separate applications made by a strangers. lawyers to appeal is extradition. striking down all submitted grounds at the time. it's is holdings, julian saunders is still being detained in definitely in solitary confinement, in belmont prison. while he's legal to continue to appeal on his p off. uh, the most people have heard of him in relation to the swedish trump rape allegations. and it's really important to, to debunk them to explain the role of the media in mischaracterizing the case and creating

a sphere campaign. the, the swedish case, she's the one of the most anomalous crime investigation i have ever seen as a do. and that is to women, went to the police for having julie in a sense, testing for sexually transmitted illness. the evidence was really manufactured and it turned out to be complete distortion of the actual situation where 2 women wanted him to get an h. i v test not to have him prosecuted in any way and they were distraught that he was being persecuted. the public understanding of these days was started by the people couldn't understand what was really going on the u. n. a special report that on thought took need semester. the leads are speak swedish,

so he was able to read the preliminary investigation documentation and to expose at the least for the the c violation some due process including active my new police. and i've already been the case was open in 2000 and then is closing 2000 fair enough to size these for reopening 201010 steps. the sea shelly open for 6 yards when he was finally question in november 2016 and the may 2017. the prosecute. the young me close the investigation and dismiss the case. and then when do nothing was arrested in april 2019, a new swedish prosecute to reopen the case, but of course, and it wasn't already. there was no case at all. so she closed the investigation

once and football and uh, november 2019. and the wind other charges, you know, this case was disappearing many of the investigation dugeon was never ever charged for a. and i can assure you that if they add an anti dense, they could have me definitely charge him. and the me get the blood came on try. yeah. and they did that these days has been use to describe this is sort of to dish and use of card you'd be looking at the fuck is the public opinion offense. and on that rape case, the never was, it was just part of this manipulated firestorm that was created in an effort to bring this knowledge down the lines which he weeks published votes. because of course, targeted by the c i a and the intelligence community. and part of that smear

campaign was to pay which he leeks as a sorry, again, or a friend for austin power. i rush to moore and report which investigated the trunk, russia saga, and found no collaboration between the trump campaign a and russian exonerated with the leak. so there is 0 evidence that russia provided any leaks or information to wait 2 weeks. we should also be clear that wiki weeks published over 700000 files on onrush itself, would've been dear. what you weeks of julian from the, one of the arguments we hear about why doing a song should be targeted from those who believe you should is that key somehow put people at risk. but what we've seen in more than 10 years now is a complete failure by the us government to present any evidence of any concrete

harm cause to anybody at chelsea, mannings, trial ad for me, which i attended was a charge was made that lives were put at risk and that trial, uh the prosecute had to admit that that was not true. the the, by the middle of the 20th century,

the portuguese colonial empire was in an acute crisis. a particularly 10 situation had developed in mozambique the people of this country were put in a humiliating position, income inequality ramp, and illiteracy. this respect by the portuguese for the local traditions led to a mass unrest. in 1964, the liberation front of mozambique re limo began its armed struggle for freedom. the regular army was not easy to resist, but that guerrillas inflicted considerable damage on the invaders through the fighters against the colonial regime were supported by the soviet union and china. whereas the united states and great britain took the side of the invaders. the portuguese responded to the guerrillas attacks with cruel counter insurgency. however, pre limos 10 year courageous struggle was a success after the overthrow of the fascist regime, and particularly in 1974. the new authorities surrendered a year later,

lisbon fully recognized the independence of mozambie. lots of victory had been gained at a high price during the war, mozambique had lost tens of thousands of and sons and daughters the oh with us. and so i usually, generally speaking, to me is needed to copy math from the, from the protection. so it would surround a journalist, they needed something to distinguish us, and i couldn't really get one except before the how they felt they felt opponents when he'd been rebec according to being a more country position court in the final weeks, he had this material in his possession in the final weeks regarding the new york times. and the spiegel became involved in processing and sifting through this material and had

a great on the joint launch. the guy that rejected us to try to put a hold to it without any one of them. anyone this, a delay was drawing a thought and always with him. absolutely. with him and i'll say this in any course, sydney and american court. it was julian who tried to stop the release until that full reduction had been done from the 1st day to the early hours of monday morning to redact the analyst with him. and we were sharing with the problem. he rejected 10000 nice by himself, quite literally the state of the to the may not the sort of practice to the listing. you know, less or to i am is as of a mix. so he will not, i am used to edit that was the, the fundamental works that the made the, the,

that trench of documents 5, there was 96 medium boxes, carefully rejecting the cables and to david lee hang lew, causing, publish the password enable. he had a great sense of responsibility for the material for the souls who provided the material. and for the material itself, he went to great pains. he contacted hillary clinton to ask for help in redacting names. he also said that to the us government and they declined the u. s . military accounts of local informed was that they had they had given in some data that were if it were visible, is that into your law? why could not wondering whether you have found all of those, whether you know, or they have, if they have a particular code, does it give

a call within that within and what's the exact size is it is, it can wasn't too hard. now is that said, it is possible means of maybe maybe as 5 or 4 heroes firing for their choice. and we are forced to make hard choices. those hard choices, do we do best effort to minimize calm, which we have done with the understanding that this is an ex, extraordinary body of material capable of producing extraordinary reforms. so what i want to say to people looking up is how do you, if you think a sound as a traitor is a rapist, he's a nurse whistles, she's a hacker. i don't blame you because you have been to see. and if you think you've not been deceived, that's normal because otherwise you wouldn't be such the

what if everything we've talked with you about somebody was would we have some coverage to see through it with a fresh perspective? would we be willing to go on a new journey of understanding this story of description, nice bravery, everything to bring to the the the were in the redlands, very electra theater, which is where we had those sitting places. and that's at the university of milton with julian is a student who was sitting here. there's a couple of us, i mean,

kind of went to the elections together. there wasn't many actually students that had the crossover between physics, science, lod sciences and politics and philosophy. so i was really lovely to engage with someone who was thinking about both of those things and how to marry up those kind of ideas of logic and political thoughts. that ability to one thing clearly critically from original perspectives and to, to have no fear and communicating them to think outside the box to think from a different angle. here's is clear that it was incredibly at the depth of that t, as in computers, as mazda, head of i think, where most of us, where with, when we will learning and science. and actually, i think i had it on a lot of the computer science courses at the time that was at solar eclipse. and the office to go through and south is right like a narrow window through the well may hills of julian and a night of alice, a cramped into a car and we just went on the right. you joined,

shed all bunch of is songs. i did clicked it for model it with a bunch of amazing, interesting science songs like homely or uh and then like once you buy it then and only take like the mix of scientific music, music people who are communicating science concepts, really advanced physics concept gas as low as, as low as like an electron magnetism. you have an idea of when i, when i have the theme and radium adult and wonderful, incredibly nasty but um, but lovely to be experience to, to be introduced to the elementary often. so we have conversations where we don't want to make anyone uncomfortable or embarrass anyone or call out something which will ruin and then a patio caused some friction. but actually julia was really feeling us with it and he had no compunction. i got, you know, julian because i was part of an early internet communities here in melbourne. he was quirky,

a observer of people clearly very smart. he wasn't that interested in what people thought of him. part of that i think is a little bit of an autism spectrum and that he didn't notice it. one of the things that he became most interested in trying to address was the issue of corruption. he'd seen a lot of corruption growing up in his tray. he had lived in a small town in queensland during the joe b o t, peterson era, a time when people were passing brown paper bags of cash to police ministers. he is at heart, deeply and intellectual deeply sink, or he was very interested in corps route problems or things where does the system fall down at the foundation? corruption being something that the if it was fixed would have this kind of enormous flow on effect. it would reduce equity in society,

poor people would be less poor. also there'd be just less of a sense of injustice across society. is such a super intellect that can burn through the information on, you know, i've never seen anybody. so the focus to people just stay up for a day, just sort of racing printer like a all day, all day and all night researching things. the way he came in to form when he leaves was a kind of a interactive process over time. like why making, you know, they had a lot of ingredients that'd be fine tuned. he had white boards that he'd rescued from tips. so his house had white boards in every roof. some people of paintings or posters, football, and most of white boards were filled with things. sometimes they were equations. sometimes the equations were filled with just words and reflecting a mathematical language of

a social phenomenon. and what he could see was the information was becoming transferable. coffee table at little to no cost in large quantities. and so that churning desire for this deeper social change, combined with these other overlays, enabled by technology i think just mentioned everything came together at the right moment for him. my 1st contact with his wife on june sent me an email describing something senses project he had in mind working. so the idea was about secrets classified secrets of coverage. and that seemed to me extremely unlikely that you could really circumvent the national security agency. what julian's idea was before he likes was that maybe we don't need to go through our mainstream journalistic channels. there's an ability that encryption can,

gives you if it's done in the wrong way to allow the addiction to that information to say on the really valuable. so those are really valuable piece of information. it's a really courageous, powerful concept that the website could facilitate anonymity of sources that have information that could expire on doing by government's corporations, whoever it might be. walter with key makes did was not to create the citizens of the world like general, which is how the politicians treat them. they commit that crimes they do misdeeds, but never in front of the general and don't let the trim one find out. what we're really doing doing is to talk about the logo, vicky legs. when is it setting it up and it's like an hour glass and this to well just one on the top and one on the bottom. the 1st swelled dripping down with

leaking into the 2nd world. and he said, oh this is. this is a little bit of a what the world we could make, a well informed by the lakes of the previous world of corruption. and if those lakes in phone or other would like to make, it will make it a better place. and in some sense, you know, the l boss is, there's so many of the ability to it that people and they sustain corruption and wrong doing for so long before they, they feel a need to expose it. tom, thank you very much. bleed into the media is completely manipulative and controlled, and more so now than ever before. and so into this one game, we see leaks the

disclosure about the single greatest route expanding verizon is you are telling your friend once off for peaceful fortune police, and as for your phone part of the law, just protecting machine the walls is that the, the, the

as long as it was just written documents home, you'll see the united states is very n walton completely freak them out. was when wiki leaks managed to get hold of video archive and video footage of action killings carried out by the united states in both of them in iraq during the iraq war. the,

[000:00:00;00] the there's no end in sight over how you're going to continue to destroy the earth. is the case of the med, most of the people. i tried to go to the gym, but i'm certainly not ready to fight russia. this is also a pursuit. this is 3rd world lunacy re washing as for so the funder line likes to say, we have the tools while we just start with stability and business deals through somebody living on mac. we have very close propaganda, you know, price here in new york. i think we don't know the aftermath any time that you're not allowed to ask questions,

you should ask all of the questions. the more questions ask the better. the answer is will be many people. question. the name is to provide collateral murder instead of collateral damage in the information. but as a former marine company commander, i knew enough about more law to launch a war to an owner. that was in fact or there is no video of more market in history. in the public domain, there is no video type that shows how a country lot in the united states has wage war as there's nothing out there that is so on the on east that is on census that shows what was in the morning era is really like nothing, and that's why the us government doesn't want to in the, in a courtroom when they want to try truly in

a sense that's why it's not part of the indictment against it because it's so
