the fbi gave him the computer the stratfor documents or uploaded to.retty clear case of entrapment and tried to get jeremy hammond. they may have even been able to find it our client, wikileaks, to do something with those documents. >> so the government made the stratfor documents available? >> that is a good way to say it, amy. >> was stratfor aware of this? >> that is a good question. the government knew it some time, and i don't understand this, that there was access to the stratfor emails and 5 million documents. they then gave sabu a computer that they could be uploaded to. the fbi is in on this and somehow allow them to go after wikileaks, allegedly. the government had to be following this -- and was, every step of the way -- and i would hesitateheo say it is typical entrapment cases about muslims, but it is that. it seems this is a government- made it -- >> it is as if they let the bomb plot. >> correct. jeremy hammond was considered one of the genius is involved generally and hacking, but in the anonymous movement, a particular and the stratfor

to spy on those activists so the stratfor this company . spied on the us. because they had no other recourse their emails were hacked and the world found out what they were doing and they just want to say it's utterly reprehensible for a company to be spying on its victims and that's what the world found out stratfor was doing among many many other nefarious activities and whoever did hack those e-mails whoever expose those e-mails from stratfor revealing all this did a tremendous service for democracy and against those who would. impede democracy so whoever did that did a tremendous service for all of us and i want to thank them. all right andy because the yes men are two guys and they've done remarkable things in bringing awareness to the insidious and weakened ways these corporations but there are just two guys is there a way and i think this might work into the action switchboard question are you trying to scale the yes man in other words the world needs a thousand yes men they need ten thousand yes men how can you take what you do the

a group of people roughly possibly known as anonymous and others like they have hacked into the stratfor e-mails and into their web site and account there as you said there are actually a private spying company there like a private cia they spied on everything from the yes men to people who were opposing dow chemical for what happened in bhopal to organizations like peta they did work for the cia for the israeli army private security company revolving door with other government officials and they allegedly hacked into that jeremy hammond is accused of various computer fraud crimes which could amount as you said to a thirty seven year to life to life sentence he was part of this group allegedly called anonymous interestingly there was a government informant in that group a man made a name so blue and it's very arguable here. that the actual crime was in fact like many other entrapment we've heard of in recent times set up by the f.b.i. they bought the computer for their informants who they actually knew these documents were being allegedly were uploaded to my client wiki leaks and they le

hack which is as we all know when anonymous went in and hacked the intelligence firm known as stratfor however and that happened in december but exactly but they were the release was actually documents were actually twenty twelve even now when they first came out it wasn't really that you know media organizations didn't find it as important but they are still learning a lot of interesting things through that information however many people here are cited other things like. israel which is where anonymous took down many of the servers of the israeli government many of the officials what official websites and also syria where they tried to keep the internet on line for many even though it was virtually shut down for a couple of days or gaza as well i think during the crisis and i know a lot of us sort of went on to i think it was the i don't know if it was a prime minister or somebody in israel his facebook page was was hacked into by anonymous and there was a free palestine put up and just sort of the wallpaper of his face absolutely was so really people were you know when they were tal

we're to go to that we're also going to the case of jeremy ham and he's the guy who released the stratfor e-mails you know in the face of this ever more pervasive surveillance state you know just the proportionality of this guy facing life in prison for basically tapping into something that taps into all of our material all the time and we're also be getting into syria kind of breaking through all the convoluted mess the propaganda how it fits into iran how it fits into jordan all these different things.

you know i should say first i have actually gratitude for whoever leaked the stratfor e-mails an organization i started was in there. i think yeah you know the question becomes of course is it one class of people simply the one percent like people like the one percent or is it really the complicity that runs through each of us in the society that we live in because these are large bureaucracies it's not like just one class of people that they have you know they want to protect their jobs they want to protect their budgets and they want to continue to rationalize it so i think what we need to look at is the structure. perform we need in congress in these institutions to have them check themselves absolutely yeah i mean it's just amazing to me that we could have this pervasive surveillance state in the second someone taps into that that's when the hammer gets down hard we'll have to have the on again to talk all about the n.b.a. all these updates thank you so much for coming out and your words are much can you say your website really could get your car when i got there. thank you so much. manni

day and for copying and pasting a link a link to a website where people could download that big stratfor hack from last year or the and went to wiki leaks the big surprise that intelligence company all that data all those credit cards all those e-mails for barrett allegedly sharing that link he's now looking at decades in prison so it's one of the few cases that we've seen in the last couple of weeks where it seems like they're trying to really hammer out computer laws that don't quite exist so good are to dot com so she would say you can read about the new indictment against barrett brown who's just activist who is a links to the united this collective and then like i said go learn about the drones that are coming over to the air force go learn about the unemployment rate yeah and see what laws are regarding the internet certainly still a wide open field without a lot of ramifications drawn out the web producer andrew blake i think this is review of what is trending today on the web site the web site thanks so much. so how do your on our table members of congress at the deadline for sea

wikileaks has begun publishing what it says are 5.5 million e-mails obtained from the servers of stratfor, and intelligence firm. >> today, wikileaks begins its release of 5000 e-mails documenting the private lives and private lies of private spies. >> a u.s. army member is in custody after killing 16 civilians, nine of them children. >> the united states in military official public to characterize the massacre as exceptional, sort of one bad apple, but i think it actually encapsulates what the united states presence in afghanistan has been all about. >> police in sanford, florida have released a series of 911 tapes the night that trayvon martin was shot to death by a self-appointed neighborhood watch capt.. >> this guy looks like he is up to no good or is on drugs or something. it is raining in he is just walking around. >> is the black, white, or hispanic? did you see what he was wearing? >> he looks black. he was wearing a gray hoodie, jeans, sweat pants, white tennis shoes. >> are you following him? >> yes. >> ok, we do not need you to do that. >> this is modern-day lynching. we will
