There was just doing it. On their go on the show you know songe founder of the whistle blowing platform wiki leaks has been arrested in the u. S. To do the choosing just conspiracy. Its unclear whether he will be extradited to the usa if youre going to play with fire going to get burnt. Dont take on the most powerful nation in the world dont take on the u. S. Army. Deal with the u. S. Accuses a songe of having helped publish classified material on u. S. Military operations. That has changed the way journalism isnt done. Ignorance or misplaced idealism is no longer an acceptable excuse for lionizing these demons and see if threatening to prosecute a songe and lock them away possibly for decades thats a blow to the very foundations of freedom of the press which. Is going to what i think is life is genuinely in danger. To stick to. The right. Thank you. But the behavior of the pilots is why they are playing a computer game. Or. Something theo shows us is the reality of modern war from the. And i dont think that that has been seen before. Blatant war crimes on april 5th 2010 wiki leaks expose them to the world. Julian assange it was about to become world famous internet a military video has surfaced on the internet showing a deadly u. S. Attack on a group of people in iraq site the key leaks online whistleblower wiki leaks wiki leaks has said this video you do a video also shows the shooting of a bus which was rushing to the scene to help the 2 children were aboard the bus both were seriously injured. We could leaks you could say wiki leaks was something truly revolutionary. We could change the face of journalism and not we were 1st in sort of introducing the secure drop ocean where people could securely submit material now every medium has who were sitting in the Kitchen Table doing said you want to start and we and making the information pool for public analysis. So. Handsome my dear. Posted original documents online on the condition that they were genuine and of Public Interest criticism soon arose that wiki leaks was not acting with due caution. Wiki leaks uncovered corruption in the Financial Sector environmental scandals and war crimes secrets the government would have preferred to keep hidden. I think people have a enormous misunderstanding. Of the work of working weeks in this model allowed journalists to work with primary hearts source material out of scale and with a kind of sophistication that had never really previously been done before. I met a songe for the 1st time in london in the summer of 2010 back then we had heard it should be go magazine that wiki leaks had received a huge cache of secret documents as he said we were asked to come to london and meet his sons to find out more details of the ties that they please for turns out that we did indeed have 3 huge packages of documents one with almost 100000 or were towards the u. S. Army and the Afghanistan War conason creek then several 100000. 00 from the iraq war and then finally a quarter of a 1000000 confidential diplomatic cables from the u. S. State department all in all there were 3 quarters of a 1000000 documents meant on. The wiki leaks documents were at the center of unprecedented attention dish biegel the New York Times and the guardian were the 1st to join forces to evaluate the documents. Secret files that exposed the true war in afghanistan. Soldiers are also said to be having increasingly serious problems. Pushed me go magazine its front page news evidence of the u. S. Secret task force 373 in afghanistan who hunt and kill of their own accord the files also reveal the brutality of the work being waged. Dozens by media many more civilians were killed in military interventions in recent years than officially confirmed it was like being hit by a very large wave it was it was quite a shocking experience. In 2010 i was the coordinator for counterterrorism the state department. It was you know abundantly evident that this was going to be a diplomatic. Disaster for the you know. It states. Good afternoon we have enough room in here United States strongly condemns the illegal disclosure of classified information so lets be clear this disclosure is not just an attack on americas Foreign Policy interests it is an attack on the international community. Was was enormous i mean im open to the possibility that saw active. Release might have been justified in some cases but again a wholesale release what what sense does that. Mean europe the criticism was more subdued at 1st. For us we humans often to the u. S. Government it was clear right from the start that assigns was an existential threat hot guys think you can put it as simply as he had crossed the line. And you should never take on the most powerful nation in the world you dont take on the u. S. Army dont take on the secret services the cia if you do youll be met with enormous blowback. Hillary clinton once said cant we just take a guy out with a drone to me and im going to last him should be your name. Julian assange said his hopes on swedens liberal press laws afraid that the u. S. Would investigate him he hoped sweden would be a safe haven for him and for wiki leaks at the time key servers were located in stockholm they have since been removed and relocated several times when he was in sweden. And the 1st real great bruces. After collateral murder. To joe the reporter be careful a warning that proved to be well justified in stockholm massage had intercourse with 2 women allegedly unprotected after attempting to reach a sandwich personally the woman turned to the police to compel him to undergo testing for s t ds the police opened preliminary investigations into 4 counts of sexual offense overnight the story of a song as the rapist hit the headlines it would become an accusation he could never quite shake off youre going to say i was a rock star over him i was an asshole and that was kind of swedish consensus from left to right up and down. In the meantime the hunt for Julian Assange and his informants have begun in the us. We want what ever they have. Returned to us and we want whatever copies they have expunged erased gone. Were not alone in this endeavor the f. B. I. D. O. J. Are also investigating this are also involved in this matter. Later u. S. Investigators discovered a chat protocol on one Army Privates computer it was to become a key piece of evidence and form the basis of the present charges. The sources songe was exchanging messages with in the spring of 2010 was in iraq. It was Chelsea Manning then Bradley Manning an Intelligence Analyst with the us army. And kenzies the 2 didnt know each other personally only through their anonymous handles or aliases they proceeded getting to know. Rather cautiously bit by bit. And didnt know it was a new approach to communicating. To sounds the new mes genocides wrote in the material size never run dry this is this is quoted in the bill of indictment its a very thin line while journalists should never incite anyone to steal or intrude to gain information they have course do want to know what their sources can offer it was most remarkable time in the spring of 2900. 00 us federal grand jury unsealed an indictment against a son 17 further charges under the espionage act on obtaining and publishing classified information soon followed the possible sentences total up to 175 years in jail. Count 18 of the indictment conspiracy to commit computer intrusion better known as hacking. Is said to have given manning advice on how to remain anonymous. Believes he is closer to a spy than the journalist because his business about stealing information. His use of information is not informed by a story by a narrative and by a public point that needs to be made they were out to destroy because he exposed war crimes criminal activities murderer of hundreds of thousands displacement of millions. In sweden a son who was being investigated by Public Prosecutors for an allegation of rape he had spent some time living temporarily with donald bostrom. The swedish journalist had tried to mediate between a song and the 2 women in question and also made a statement to the police. I read everywhere that he was a covered running away escape from everything and thats not the fact the fact is actually he went to the police he was in through a gate in that he stayed another 5 weeks waiting for the next step in the process which never occurred. Swedish authorities granted him permission to travel to london. Then they wanted him back for more questioning insisting it take place in sweden. Just for assurance that he would not be extradited to the u. S. His request was denied. And so he decided to apply for asylum in ecuador escaping 1st to their embassy in london. She arrived 1 pm in the afternoon. Aside a petition. Pretty to be behind it. Julian assange is currently in london and the Ecuadorian Embassy. After because you are who has granted a songe asylum but its unclear how he intends to get there from the London Embassy the British Police are outside ready to arrest him the moment here merges to get to the airport through coffin. Was trapped in the heart of london. And sweden fell silent no hearing no charges. Then in 2016 wiki leaks made another major release the d. N. C. Leaks implicated the democratic party. Including emails that shed a harsh light on Hillary ClintonsCampaign Manager. Escape 5 you doubt there have been new email disclosures once again jeopardizing Hillary Clintons career. The enter the whistleblowing platform wiki leaks has released confidential emails pointing to the d. N. C. Preferring clinton to run as the democratic president ial candidate instead of the outsider bernie sanders. They clearly disliked Hillary Clinton they didnt like john podesta her her Campaign Manager and he was happy to do whatever he could to damage their interests gentil whistleblowing platform wiki leaks quoted clinton from well paid speeches she allegedly held before wall street firms. Wiki leaks out of work you know like. This is a case where an external actor is actually as we would say putting their hand on the scale and making a difference. Was the Russian Intelligence Service using the principle of wiki leaks to promote its own interest. That was part of robert motors investigation in his report on russias influence on the 26000. 00 and. And elections. Are 2. 00 the name of the hacker who allegedly acquired and provided wiki leaks with the emails according to special investigator muller Russian Intelligence Service staff who have since been indicted were behind the hacks i now believe that it is Something Like 21st century hostile Service Working in collusion with the Russian Intelligence Services in that campaign and i think for that reason its reputation in the United States has been fatally damaged this was journalistic activity this was in the Public Interest to be published it. Doesnt really matter where the material came from if its in the Public Interest to publish should you have a duty to proceed dont trump becomes the 45th president of the usa victory came after one of the most suspenseful election nights in u. S. History. Tunnel trumpet his Campaign Team celebrate his victory. After being sworn into office trump claims hes never heard of wiki leaks. Do solemnly swear that its unclear what impact the wiki leaks release had on the election result there is no evidence that we can weeks knew who was behind the email dump. What the leaks walks like a hostile Intelligence Service and talks like a hostile Intelligence Service we know the danger that it is not so merry band of brothers poster democracies around the world ignorance or misplaced idealism is no longer an acceptable excuse for a lionizing these demons you would agree with this director pompei all at once when he when he was when he made that remark that its a hostile Intelligence Service correct. He made himself a target for Intelligence Services all over the world because of the information of us really so. If youre going to play with fire are going to get burned. The Spanish Company you see global was responsible for security in their quit orian embassy their boss David Maraniss was a former spanish military officer with good contacts in the us. Started to. Change. Legal should be protected. In 2017 president ial elections were held in ecuador. Having already served 2 terms Rafael Correa who had previously granted asylum to his songs was unable to run again. Welcome to the globe of the persecuted. Thank you president acknowledged. He was succeeded by the new president lenin moreno who sought a closer relationship with the u. S. This also changed the atmosphere in the London Embassy. Security staff started confiscating visitors bags and mobile phones. They appeared to have been tasked with collecting as much information as possible. Actress and activist Pamela Anderson would visit Julian Assange as regularly while she was talking to him security staff apparently inspected her cell phone noting her password on a yellow slip. This seems to have been systematically gathered from assigned as guests phones were forcibly opened private messages copied and stored without consent ration reports compiled the german public broadcasters n. P. R. And w. D. Are in possession of internal documents. In one email the head of u. C. Global rights quite openly. Another regular visitor to the embassy is a songes lawyer martinez coordinating a songes defense against the us from spain. Mr a sandwich was always very concerned about being listened in on. Them i personally asked the security staff several times whether the cameras that were installed everywhere could also record order see us. Get up on all this was always denied. Maybe. In the end we had all our conversations in the ladies restrooms because mr assad was so worried about being heard so. According to one of the staff the Security Firm installed a bug in the ladies room shortly afterwards behind this box. In the meeting room a bug was fitted inside the fire extinguisher. But still not ok and even consequential communication between a lawyer and client is a fundamental right in every democratic country of the world as opposed to material seems to have ended up in the hands of north america via the Spanish Security fund them. Who is ex who believe it is the c. E. O. David moore alice is said to have frequently boasted to his staff about his connections to the us. An affidavit from a former employee states when i asked him who his american friends were he replied the us Intelligence Services. Are going to join with the us Intelligence Services and thus is really stupid also this the emails are confidential belong to my company is our conversation private conversation but i have. Spains high court has open investigations on David Maraniss and you see global. When approached the us authorities made no statement about the inquiry in 2018 the Security Firm in the embassy was replaced a sign just Internet Connection was cut for good and hardly any visitors were allowed its reported that even his shaving equipment was confiscated. Childishness and conflict i have never been involved with this case before all but then i took a closer look i took 2 medical experts with me and as you should expect. This is what we saw was that mr assad was actually showing all the symptoms a person normally displays when subjected to psychological torture over a long period of time. She looks awful to also has this flow. Of ideas of he was stuck inside the embassy for 7 years with very little input from the outside world veiled. Not a fuss kind of he hardly received any visits either from his lawyer or from friends he had no Internet Connection. On april 11th 2019 ecuador allowed the British Police to enter the building. And theyre going to let us sanch founder of the whistle blowing platform wiki leaks has been arrested after almost 7 years asylum in the Ecuadorian Embassy in london s going on involving. Other hed been right that he would be arrested as soon as he set foot outside the embassy with the extradition order to the usa to quickly follow. Their. Path that. Includes patani and whatever is written he was placed before a judge straight after being arrested and convicted within just 15 minutes of a fine during the whole trial the only words he uttered what i plead not guilty but the judge is insulted him as a narcissist saying he was only concerned with his personal interests. Understands in a sudden i didnt press. Stockholm 2019 for 9 years Julian Assange had been threatened with prosecution by the swedish judiciary. Shortly after his arrest in london the Public Prosecutor in stockholm closed the proceedings due to a lack of evidence. Julian assange is now locked up in a high security prison in london the hurdles to prevent extradition from britain to the u. S. Are not especially high. No evidence needs to be provided as long as there are grounds for suspicion of a crime having been committed to. Julian assange as his extradition hearing could be one of the biggest cases in british legal history. Many on target if these charges under the espionage act werent so serious we should actually be laughing about it. After all receiving processing and releasing secret information is the daily bread and butter of journalism. I dont believe in imprisoning journalists but. I think i could easily agree that somebody who is stealing government information wholesale ought to be punished for that im truly not. Said in tears for joy in a song this is not to dislike of course its much easier to make an example of someone who violates all the human rights when its a person nobody likes. Destroying their songs image undermining him tarnishing his reputation with sexual allegations this shady label on the heart truth rumors about him 1st of all part of it. As we absorb it all through the media and other and more willing to accept and tolerate the fact that hes being mistreated and you. Whats going to happen tomorrow. When china demands the extradition of a canadian journalist what happens when saudi arabia does the same thing about someone living in argentina we are setting a precedent right now that we are going to live with for the next 100 years and no matter what you feel about joining us the methods that wiki leaks and everyone connected to would have pioneered have changed the way journalism is done and if we cannot recognize that and we are not willing to protect it i think the saddest part of this whole story is we probably dont deserve it and as a result we will no longer have it when we need it the most.
