embassies and the diplomatic service julian assange he's calling this as a u.s. base concerted political attack and it's not from the government though they have actually deemed this to be without any lawful grounds as has the u.n. high commissioner for human rights he says that he's condemned the blockade. instead says it's being carried out by politicized u.s. financial companies now they have actually seen the legal action they've opened. action in a number of countries where they have publication deals iceland denmark the u.k. the e.u. us australia as well they've also lodged a complaint with the european commission a decision on that is due in mid november as to whether visa has broken any rules here but until that there's really nothing they can do because they've simply run out of money. i would bet at their will for more on the wiki leaks legal and financial struggle i'm joined by donna could along he's the president of the national union of journalists there in london thanks very much indeed for being with us well the us government as well as the e.u. hu

but is that actually enough reasons anthony randolph was going to join us for that one and then julian assange has announced that we complete this shutting down its web site for now to fight the financial blockade that companies like these and master card and pay pal have put up against the whistle blowing organization so if the money doesn't start flowing again could it be the end of wiki leaks and one of the dangers here for the freedom of speech then the obama administration reportedly debated launching a cyber offensive in libya before they actually decided to go with cruise missiles and the drones right so how much closer does that make us to having cyber war become a concert reality or have all that for you tonight and more including a dose of happy hour but first let's take a look what the mainstream media has decided to miss. so the mainstream media which so do it or fully reported on the arab spring while revolutions are breaking out in tunisia egypt is back on the revolution that wagon well of course either ignoring or mocking the occupy wall street movement right here at home but no

and wiki leaks is going broke and it might not survive into the next year thousand messaging julian assange when he announced at a press conference in london that the whistle blowing web site is shutting down its operations until november twenty eighth all in order to focus on finding a financial blockade. raising new funds now if you remember it was in december of two thousand and ten that visa master card and pay pal three the biggest payment providers that dominate the market cut off funding to wiki leaks western union has also cut off that funding as private companies they have the discretion to do it but it came out that members of congress like joe lieberman were pressuring the companies to do so now it's said that in two thousand and ten wiki leaks donations were running at one hundred thousand euros a month but now they've lost ninety five percent of their revenues so could this financial blockade actually lead to the end of wiki leaks and what are the greater dangers here for free speech joining me to discuss this is trevor tim activists of the electronic frontier foundation and a

why them and not julian assange and wiki leaks. well there even a little worse than you suggest i mean the council of conservative citizens is a group that says things like black people are a retrograde species of humanity. but this is the group that in fact is directly descended from the upright citizens councils of the one nine hundred fifty s. and sixty's that in fact were formed to resist school desegregation. but it is surprising and surprising to me that they have not been cut off by hate hour because the reality is that hate panel has actually tried to cut off the out of a sense unusual to find. that there are mechanisms to be used by groups that are named up the islay and since the american nazi party certainly cannot kick a paper out of the american nazi party as website today and they say that they only accept money orders or well concealed cash is that it has all of the right not of them do the same is that the sonics kind of operators that because they they actually said if you said i'm a personal check they will they w
