i'll come back to the kaiser report time now to go to brazil and talk with glenn greenwald a blogger at salon dot com welcome to the cause report glenn greenwald great to be or thanks for having me all right glenn first you are at the center of a massive and under reported wiki leaks smear campaign tell us about it who are the players and what information has come out about their actions so far sure it centers around this group of hackers though they might contest that term that calls itself anonymous and they announced a couple of months ago that they would target any companies that in some way harmed or terminated its services with wiki leaks and there was a period in november of last year when a variety of large companies such as amazon pay pal master card and visa started succumbing to the pressure from the u.s. government to terminate all services with wiki leaks prevent them from getting paid and anonymous targeted those companies with cyber attacks denial of service attacks that slowed down their websites in some cases took them offline for a couple of hours and so this anonym

course this very bizarre wording when it comes to attacking you know taking people out like lame greenwald or other journalists well what they have what this guy did was create aliases on social networking sites that he would build up and he would engage people as those aliases pretending to be a variety of people talking to each other talking to people to try and sort out who was who in the wiki leaks organization but they were also planning to use them against people like glenn like david house bradley manning's friend who's written before was also in the document in order to discredit them and the theory was that if they that they were professionals who would stop defending wiki leaks if it started to affect their ability to you know do what they do so basically just smear them so hard that they would stop that it's absurd to me to even hear that what kind of implications do you think. it has for for free speech in this country for people that are trying to put the truth out there well the chamber of commerce was also trying to do with him gave them for a similar in a similar situation

and travel writer jeff greenwald takes us on a journey of strange travel suggestions in his one-man show. coming up next. >> belva: good evening. i'm belva davis and welcome to "this week in northern california." joining me tonight on our news panel are jim carlton, reporter with the "wall street journal." amy allison, publisher of oaklandscene.com. carla marinucci, political reporter with the "san francisco chronicle." carla, governor jerry brown called for a special election on june 6th to try to solve the state's budget problems. what has been the reaction from both political parties and the public? >> well, you know, the reaction this week belva has been interesting because this is a drama like california has never seen. we saw this week in the chamber, 14-minute speech, this is his eighth state of the state address. and you could see this one was different from any other one we've seen. this is a governor who is an experienced politician, who knows this stuff inside and out, who knows these people in the chamber and knows these issues. and that is where the drama is. he's making the

support of wiki leaks son bradley manning so he's not become one of their main targets they label greenwald as a liberal bent who played a critical role in the transition of wiki leaks away from amazon where the site first accepted donations for its efforts but the response plan also says the greenwald is such a key player that if he's taken out of the picture the site would fold wow who knew that one outspoken activist journalist could be the downfall of this entire site and what exactly do they mean by taken out i think glenn has done some very fabulous reporting on these issues he'll probably take it as a compliment that they see him as such a threat but moving on they list where the current servers are located and the ip address where fresh information comes to the website and here's the part that we just find hilarious this next flight slide they have this picture this is a top secret bunker located somewhere in sweden it's the hope of the that's the i a speech that hosts wiki leaks but they would all think of this looks like something straight out of a movie i mean it's a cool picture

coming on so you know you've written about this issue time and again you have films like robert greenwald's exposing some the practices of wal-mart but is it making any kind of difference i mean is wal-mart changing its behavior at all. i don't think the game is. right in people or corporations into somehow you know behaving differently. so what is going to send a better about that kind of you know the rabble rousing and fear mongering that the easy way to disable the entire system is just for people to start doing things for one another is for people to accept that they're ways to support your public school there are ways to share services with other people on the block and i feel like you know people people in america and around the world really once they do they adopt this kind of consumerists idea this consumerist relationship to the world they think they need to buy their way out of at their problems rather than sharing their way out of their problems you know and it's kind of as simple as that is joining in the states we have community supported agriculture projects everywhere it's it

not make him a good or a popular president aren't there are no number out your way this is robert greenwald was talking about this today in response to what's happening in wisconsin he said if you just send one hundred fifty troops home from afghanistan you'll fix wisconsin's entire budget gap. we don't you know the issue is not a shortage of money i mean this is it's not as i say this is what is it where you're spending money no amount of money that's why i'm saying we could we could go create the money and this idea will create inflation is nuts by me the inflation this economy it's utterly crazy so yeah we could get it out of afghanistan we could print it we don't have a shortage of money you have an ideologically driven governor there wants to break the labor unions he wants the shortage that's that's the key story it's i think it's a matter of short term versus long term we could certainly print as much money as we want and we may not have inflation this year we may not have inflation in the next two years but the inflation risk is real it's real right now given the amount of liquidity

we will get the latest with glenn greenwald. striking turnaround, the obama administration says the defensive marriage act is unconstitutional and will longer defend the anti-gay marriage law in court. the in libya, pro-democracy protesters take over eastern parts of libya, despite a bloody crackdown by colonel muammar gaddafi. we will get a report from correspondent anjali kamat. >> the onlyope is that more and more people in effect and join the anti-gaddafi forces and i think that is what people are really hoping for and hoping the example of benghazi and what they're calling the liberated east will stand as a example and people under gaddafi's control will

i think glenn greenwald is an excellent source of information about what's really going on and what kind of legal protections should wikileaks be afforded or denied that npr and "the new york times" would get? >> i i think that is a very interesting question. i'm just -- what i'm saying is i don't think -- there again, what do we as a public need? what kind of information do we need? the same kind of legal challenges have been, you know, argued about whether, which are the people who deserve to be able to protect their sources, right? and it's very hard to define journalists in that regard. so i don't know exactly how we're going to go down that road of figuring out what kind of information sources the public needs and, therefore, which should be protected. >> but in this age it will become more and more of a question as you can hack, as you can get things available which were not meant to be seen. and so there will be more and more of that very controversial, could be inflammatory or endangering raw material out there and available. so that's something really o o think hard about. >> bu
