A song should slept with both of them at the women decided to go to the police that proved to turning point both phone wiki leaks founder Julian Assange on it was when this story took a very different. Women went to the police. Ones there to report her rape their report they wanted to encourage him to have an h. R. Vetoes because theyve had sex with him unprotected more concerned about. So there was no like actual rape right there was no violence there although all the newspapers afterwards they were saying rape allegations rape allegations there was no actual rape because this is Serious Business is that this is exactly this is that was the aim of the whole exercise to start hearing the word rape in connection with. The best occasion in which an exam rangers are to healing. In the sound of. My snow in the rain mouthing english an obligation gazing is another story and even more news in the rain unleashed. In many peoples minds theres something suspicious about him and because he hasnt and hes run away from the war i think it would have been better had he gone to sweden because i think he needed is a change hes clear his name but. At the same time i completely understand why he didnt see the problem in sweden who its not a country where i understand the language of addition to the media climate has been set up in sweden. I think that if julian went to sweden at that point he would have been extradited he was often like mocked in the pres and people say ah he just wants to know as he doesnt want to face the music in sweden and so on and then said hes paranoid but i think from todays perspective we dont really know now what the that the us us is really after him and i think he was. The big thing that i think cruelly undermined the public support for julian was a swedish case obviously you would find the newspapers of high repute. Television stations to doing julian in and became gratuitous. I think it would be fair to say the Mainstream Media never really liked julian. They didnt really like to him because his model publishing was a threat to their existence. And there was a great deal of jealousy. In the mainstream towards wiki leaks importance on particular why i wanted to be more like. The one the boss. When they wanted access to their worst than that dispersants and. Now they cant even do you know great this little note with respect. In the moment they collided with him they took the information he had but then immediately lets say the next day you had a hit piece in the New York Times from bill keller he was at that time who described him as a bank lazy. He came immediately something about his character. Who i think is a betrayal its a betrayal of principle. What do you think of the allegations that julian have sanji is a direct quote from the New York Times is that hes a narcissist with an outsized view of his own of origins and that he has no interest in monday matters like personal hygiene. Really. I cant think of another journalist or publisher who has won Major International journalism awards. And for media organizations have complained about whether his socks were dirty or had been washed here i mean really. I wonder whether any single human being has been subjected to the level of snow. In the polls. Into india live in a British Court released a social burial on condition that he didnt leave the country. He was also required to remain at the Country House owned by a close friend the british journalist phoned smith. Im now sitting in a chair. And ingham. Is the sort of house that is the products of wealth that my family has generated for hundreds of years my family new terran 75 im fortunate. To have that responsibility to look after. Me it is an investing at the journalists and thats why our journalists and kindly offered these may be a secure place to be the place from what are the publications with me mate. Shell say yes and. I feel as safe as one can yes its always a bit safer to be much much safer i was here and though i knew i was you know but as far as a few we can ground is a circle is about as good as. We can expect basically to turn this into office for quite a lot so you would have come in here and youd have found people working on computers and bits of paper printouts everywhere running around with digital discs and things like this so that involved having julian it had involved having. The people that work for him and involved having everybody who wanted to interview him but this was the main office this was where he had courses. This place where. A lot of work later down the road so sick. Same to happen but i would say that the big fear. The big publications fram. Of cable gate they were conducted. Wireless jordan was in house arrest and having them all. Because it was so secret youd be heroines you see people working on computers and you know i wouldnt like office because it would you know you you know youd be looked at and theyd one dont you think oh gosh what a silly question washed off will bury them tell me if they want to tell me. I sold them release the afghan war logs i sold them working on the diplomatic. And i saw them working on some stuff that came off the woods when they were here its interesting. Very hard to stop organizations like we. And the way please isnt going to be the end of it even if we disappear which is no sign that it will. Become a sort of Guerrilla Organization for freedom of speech. On the 1st the judy it was in the extra one and the see. The morning off to he went to that and the 6 i read in the news and realized that i just lost my bail money. Is this something that is the school and this selflessness gravity was making sure he said listen to me the way and it was. A very right right. This is they could do it in the sea when curiosus on to leave. Maybe 7 gets them by sees only the one of the 2 flats in defect. So what youre looking at them balcony. Which in fact was. Juliens to moon in the. 5 minutes. Out. To the soldiers they found wiki leaks hes refusing to leave the Ecuadorian Embassy in london is expected to make. A soft name. We knew each other before he came to see. Basically the possibility of team arrives im not french you know whats hes not supposed. To. Lead. People say yes. This is him 30. Percent so if he were during the embassy itself a small piece of flight. 300. 31st when they were can turn into one sort. Of the room. From the. Building is surrounded by high buildings which is just not allowed for this song. To come into them julian compared hes stay at the embassy. To be leaving space because he was subjected only to field lights. And he never saw sunlight he didnt have dental and medical care. There were huge challenges the. First years he was constantly on the surveillance there open surveillance and when you were in the embassy you could cost countries here the people outside with the speaking on walkie talkie that was the only no corner in the embassy where you were not watched in this or in the buildings we also hogs. All thats on. Base was the most sort of a place in the wall for many of us. Julian assange continued to run we can stay at the Ecuadorian Embassy while within its walls many new publications and revelations came to lunch the highest profile exposing is probably the period in 2016 the year in which a new president was to be elected in the u. S. This is a pretty you know to move through but in your circles one of. The much for the group was a. Little more when theyre. Pointing. In the eastern. Europe and it seems to treat. Cities. That. Were stolen in an era of resource colonialism again this is a big risk and the one big thing that could really inhibit the kind of electric vehicle resolute. That a lot of us want to see is if we cant resource the battery components in a sustainable ethical way then its not going to be a successful revolution. People want to do. Believe that june in the sun to live the trouble. Came from the fact that he put into the body to maine. One of the d. N. C. Leaks basically they were emails from democrats. And how the democratic national. Committee. Plays the clinton. Country and the president ial. Vote was something that i think the American Public is really important about wiki leaks is that the russian government has engaged in espionage against america and then they have given that information to wiki leaks for the purpose of putting it on the internet. Use of a 2. 0 and various other d. C. Leaks and various other you know maims which. Aspires to convince us that this information was from russia well you know i dont. Know whether it was from russia i dont know and you know leaks julian hasnt told me you. Says it wasnt just forcing us to do with it we intend to recruit for instance all. Over the fold. When they revealed those the dirtiest facts about hillary. And the hole he put chrissy behind it and so want everyone he was saying yah but its not so bad but when she lost the election everybody said like oh my god this was the reason why it happened because they needed some explanation. The reception of those cables was pretty nasty i think if there was even this outrage. And these he may keep stop making stuff make a songe stop he came out of the embassy silence he got to keep. When the years went by his situation became more difficult and difficult the pressure because bigger and bigger and then the government changed in ecuador i think the situation became pretty crazy. There was an election when it could. Then became president. He was a great supporter of america still the. Government decided to she. Called oil foreign policy. And decided to have it the furnishings United States to know was an obstacle for dot the musky stuff. Going to get really sexy over science not just the record look on the scene could she have this. Prebuttal structure but a political before must feel. This. Is a similar and our government was to tell us that they had to get rid of him and turned his life into hell. Kind of thing away lawyers the searching businesses. Installing cameras in every room and private meetings had to be holding the toilet not supplying toilet paper. And supplying toilet paper just. For getting some of this paper. For getting to bring forgetting to bring. If they forgot to bring food. From. The us face to do with this group is just as a producer has already made it a. Go i have to ask this because according to the Security Firm employees who are hired by the government julian was an extremely difficult guest himself. Argued with the Embassy Staff a lot he neglected personal hygiene often left his bathroom and small kitchen in the mass. This is in the 18 months of the miranda government youre talking about thats right. Now why is it that none of that for the preceeding 16. Personalities all of a sudden they are. Feces on the wall. And. They wanted to have proof and reasons. Too. Take away his asylum which is really an International Humanitarian scandal. So you get to see this. Is. This was the 1st time in years when i saw him when he i could really see the. Like i was shocked. Back to them or they have been waiting. For a lawyer very. Sweet. To see. Him. After right through torture and surgeries are. Trying. To serve him. Not to where they. Are. Not. The United States immediately filed an extradition request with u. K. But it could not be considered until Julian Assange himself in the months in prison for breaching the terms of his home detention and 2012 you. Know wiki leaks. Prison just outside london. High security maximum security prison where your murderers and terrorists are bone bruise brutal. Belmarsh prison is said to be a worse place even than guantanamo. He is. There nodded the right fraternizing with all the person knows. He told me that when he sees people go past his cell he wishes he wished he could speak to. A saunders leaked media also where he appears to have a lot lost a lot of weight. When i saw that i really started crying because when you know someone very well and see him in this position. Im not allowed to hand him anything the only way of communicating with the outside world is to him to receive. We were not sure if he wanted to communicate with journalists but heres a letter we have just received from belmarsh prison and its from jill and i songes it says here on the back of. That letter reveals despair and frustration as the trial draws closer the wiki leaks founder says he has no internet or telephone nexus which seriously hinders his ability to prepare his own defense and that he has nothing much to do except walk thousands of laps per day around the cells. Its very distressing to. See someone who have worked with and who is an old friend. In such peril. Personal peril. And to. To. Think that they may not come out of it is very upsetting. The charges that the u. S. Government have raised against julian to extradite and have shifted. 1st they called him a hacker and said that he had assisted manning in securing the information that manning wanted. Bradley manning was a handyman who was in the armed forces and clearly was shocked by what was going on around him and. Bradley manning now chelsea manning. Was the original whistleblower who gave wiki leaks them most Important Information we ask on war logs the film from the helicopter or isis journal spain and. The diplomatic papers all came from bradley manning. The way the u. S. Ministry of justice sees it Julian Assange didnt just receive information from an informant which would not constitute a crime journalist do have the right to acquire information from sources even if it is classified the American Government claims that doesnt conspired with private manning who helped him access classified information intending to harm the United States. The u. S. Hopes to prove that just sound is a spy not a journalist. To look at the charges they are absolutely applicable. To the times the other journalism or media publications. During astonish being a publisher was put in prison for being a publisher for no other reason than being a publisher. There were no rules. There are no rules to the game. Is free in turn a list in the United States should feel i caused a scene in running down the spine. At the charges that have been leveled against this publisher. Because they could be next. Theyre julian. You are one of the most bravest person i know and this sentence that youll get repeated often courage is contagious was really true. Thats the reason for great movements arise youll have side would think of people who. Support you and understand that there is. A wider issue at stake and hes not alone he is not alone. There are a large number of people who value the contribution thats made. Public interest. Ive remembered you today i went into anothers famous when you were relatively free and i remember that you were just you know carrying his legal back. And having him very humble i. Would look forward to a day where hes free and not being honest and. Not being chased around the world by the americans. I hope that we can get you out of there. If you will be sitting next to us somewhere nice something water by to see these would be like just just a bad memory or. Are on her. Revel out of anger for. A.
