Including wiki leaks. So melbourne in the late eightys and early ninetys became the center of the strain underground which included cars and experimenters and also theres not just in the sense of people who broke into things illegally but also people who just experimented with. It didnt take long for australias Hacking Community to embrace the young. Teenagers they spent most of their time online but did occasionally venture out and when they did. This square in central melbourne. This is the historic fitzroy town hall and it was the site along with some other sort town halls in melbourne. And other members of that Technology Community were here in their. Late teens and early twenties stopping for computer bits and exchanging ideas name from a show about how to experiment with hardware and software. Versus. Men and women into. Computer. Memory and understanding. I didnt. Just write that he would pay for a short while. One of the worlds most. Its very interesting the hacker mentality from this time period they wanted the thrill of getting into the system that was to have the. And the more procedures the in the institution the more thrilled they got so if they could break into now such. Things were the smartest people stay with people who had put man on the moon really if you could break into their systems then you could prove to yourself youre a 17 year old boy you 2 are very smart. The u. S. Space agency nasa is one of the victims of the melbourne computer Hacking Syndicate american investigators including the f. B. I. Contacted a strain authorities with a suspicion since. The 16th 1989 nasa was attacked by what was known as the virus that caused a Space Shuttle launch in florida to be postponed and was traced to australian hackers in melbourne the way was one of the 1st ever worms that had been written and it was certain. The 1st politically motivated wireman that carried a political message that message was a quote from the Midnight Oil Song and that quote was you talk of times of peace for all and then prepare for war. This thing that was the way. It emerged from a sort of deep dark forest you got a glimpse of it and then disappeared again and the authors have never been found although some see this might be one of jewel in a songes dealings. People have lots of different views on these things. Julian was very lucky growing up in that although he grew up in a fairly poor family canonically it was very rich intellectually. Juliens father is a very clever and creative person and quite sensitive i think hes been enormously important to julius development as a young adult. As a young man. A go are actually. Nick and i were reserved because he would always be our voter come up with a near approach to things your way of looking at. What a number of track person have said to me is that. They get a different perspective on the worlds from the systems theyve been in and thats because they are able to see the actually nation these are. Directly contradicting what an organization may say publicly or someone a politician may say publicly they understand that the public is being told something that is just not just a little lie often its a very big lie that helped maybe develop. The super importance of Media Organizations being able to port accurately on information. In june was at my place and we were having a cup of tea i think it was. Until 2006 or Something Like that quite early on anyway and generally and said. Id like to stop and we can. Learn this week he would concern itself with leaks. And we would use 3 tall as an anonymous from people who wanted to name information and have that information. Did you try to warn him about anything at that time. No one would you and young man on the cusp of life you dont care and warnings and say well how can i help. Ive always taken natures aphorism. To hot leaves diners for me. Leave diners dont creep around place being frightened of shadows. Do what you have to do and then face the consequences the best you can. As being my guide all my life. It is. Not. 62560. Sure that we have no perfect out east of our position so 3. 5 1st i 1st heard about with nixon you know some. From the helicopter footage. In iraq on the famous forces where we saw. The helicopter shoot people on the ground but all of. Them on. T. V. The Helicopter Shot up some civilians and in the process shot to reuters just too little for his job and they also shot up some children in a car. Bomb around. Their friend. American military personnel misidentified civilians as rebels. From overhead it looked as though one of the men had a gun. But it was just a reuters cameraman holding. The what. Did they saw the collateral but mortar b. T. O. He said the window for get in the forget because they escape it was what the 1st time as i was screaming loud at my own feast these. Soldiers are us with dissed emotional detachment as they were playing video games and meeting with the live of people in in such a cool way. Here is actual shocking video footage fact irrefutable evidence of what happened and what is. Been described to me by one retired military person actually here in australia as undoubtedly a war crime. Will. Be off to the shooting of july 13th 2007 us military commanders justified the attack claiming that its troops had been in battle with Hostile Forces of over. Approaching a 2nd on the body of. The 2 children well that they were in a van when their father approached the scene of the shooting to help victims or do we have individuals going. To monitor. Where and. Thats whats really fascinating for me was when i saw an interview with an american soldier who was there on that spot after they. Killed them and shot them then it was the young. Officer who went to them and discovered that there were 2 children at that were wounded he said the little girl couldnt blink because her eyes were full of grass and he tried to remove the cross from out eyes when he spoke to his supervisor and wanted to take her to a decent hospital he was told washout you know for john up. To the 1st time we understood. Disability in casualties the innocent people who were killed in both afghanistan and iraq and this was all kept from the public. Doing. Sons showed real bravery in being willing to publish frankly and fearlessly that video and i think that there are people within the u. S. Military who have never forgiven him for it. That helicopter attack resulted in 12 to 18 deaths 2 children one did no one from the American Military has ever been held accountable. All of the kind of good intentions are voters go to earth and christening to earth and maybe even 40 years ago to simply evaporate its the only notes of the compressor of the 5. This whole business while blaming russians by america is getting really pathetic because heres a guy whos effectively trying to dehumanizing a whole group of people slavic people in this case this is remarkably ironic coming from white like. I cant show you my face but im going to teach you my story in 9093 this man was sentenced to death. They could charged with capital murder even though he didnt have the gun didnt pull the trigger didnt intend to kill anybody imagine living in your bathroom for that week with the center for 23. 00. Hours doubt that had to. Get out of the very. Confined within 4 gray walls he fights using hot turn on to help him to leave this room im. Pretty. Close. To 2 months ago most people never going to sign says we must see more serious damage and insulin renowned to leave consumers on Julian Assange finally and more revelation found that when using one site she and it sounds more and more some of my movies on the news im after collateral murder. Julian assange revealed his identity and was known i mean it was front page news all over the world at that point. Only to Julian Assange has become a hot global topic but he found a way to publish classified information and made it available to anyone who wanted to share someone elses secrets. The idea of developing an anonymous digital dropbox and applying it to a Media Organization that is wiki leaks that was the 1st people hadnt really done that before that was that was Julian Assange. It enabled the whistleblower who were. Low cost with just the right couldnt. Use of the right tools to anonymously. Blow the whistle by transmitting like large amounts of data. Today we release over 287. Documenting the reality of an International Mass surveillance industry. Who here has an i phone. Has a black berry. He uses g. Mail. Well youre all screwed. What is this place then where were all those files actually kept. In the cloud its somewhere. Julian magically brought together. Computers digitalize asian and information and put before the public. When someone called you know sauls knocked on the door from one club i was quite pleased to see him i was quite keen that we would have somebody who was making the news. My names form smith im a journalist. But more i run something called the Frontline Club which i founded which is a press club for justice and. It all happened in this room i mean julian literally turned up and knocked on the door and literally on the announce he knocks on the door 2 days before that press conference saying i want a press Conference Im judy and i quite literally and so we arranged the press conference for him and it was on a monday morning he was standing here. He was up here and we had a podium we have that podium and we had it here and he was standing here and its from this position he raised up the guardian front page. And you know thats when the whole thing started so this is the guardian from this morning 40 to 40 pages of this full page. Also i can correlate in the spiegel 17 pages. Just a couple of months after the video of the baghdad helicopter attack against civilians was published yet more real than a sions appeared this time it was the afghanistan and iraq dossier as. The afghanistan and iraq does he goes classified pentagon files on u. S. And allied military activity in afghanistan and iraq from 2004 to 2009. These were logs that were written by members of the military who might be out at the front or patrolling an area and might be things seen or experienced on their shift or patrol so it was almost a sort of. A very detailed war diary. By the americans and the british in but it didnt occur to me that it could be so informative. The because it was a huge data sets 400000 plus 5 reports field reports by the u. S. Army. These these 3 most accurate descriptions of old this is it even being released into the story we are counted no 120. 1000 sunni triangle teams in the wall is nearly no Street Corner in baghdad didnt have a body that fell into being killed 3 vanzant one form or another. What we found out from iraq and afghanistan dosia is the us undertone is allegedly under reported civilian casualties prisoners of war was subjected to violent acts of torture at the u. S. Military personnel who were reportedly involved in child prostitution. When you have published his publishing secrets the government stops losing control of the narrative that had a narrative in iraq. Knows if in the end it and then they lost control of that narrative because we found out the truth. Thats the power of what he ate the battlefield consequences of the release of these documents are potentially severe and dangerous for our troops our allies and the afghan partners and may well damage our relationships and reputation in that key part of the world of the one of the main criticisms as being devil to you is that you have publicists the village is the names and in some cases the g. P. S. Coordinates of people afghans who cooperated with the u. S. Military and a u. S. Official has called it a potential hate list for the taliban whats your response to that is there was some peers the mostly between your beat up i mean where were looking at the issue seriously to see whether that is true he approached the white house to austin for assistance in reviewing material before we published the white house you know its hard to accept that request they always say oh they have blood on their hands. They get people in danger but i think if anyone would have been killed because of we kill x. They would have directed the person in front of the camera all proved it or taken it against them sold i think its just a blatant lie is it possible that the 1st tranche of data from the afghan war logs could have been better redacted yes quite probably they could have been better protected had anyone ever done this before no there was no roadmap i mean killing a soldier wiki leaks they were bushwhacking through thick forests to try and figure out how to do this. The afghanistan and iraq dont see just what the biggest leak they have a plan shone a light on war crimes allegedly perpetrated by the us can do generalize. No one from americas military has ever been held accountable. And. A little bit over 10 years ago i was contacted by. A person. Who or didnt know at that point environmental. Wanted to meet with me and they met a. Person who spoke with a very strong australian accent and he told me that they had a Problem Program if it wanted to do a project. When we met. My initial. Feeling was that this was. Completely outlandish and there was nothing to it so we parted way but we kept contact and a little bit later. Came the publications for the collateral murder video where you could see helicopter. Thats a u. S. Helicopter in iraq gunning down reuters journalists on an open street and so when i realized that he was. Serious about is and ever. Julian assange invited yohannes to work with him on a new collection of classified documents that had fallen into we can expand. This time correspondence from the United States diplomatic service. To the diplomatic cables. That we can leaks published a little bit later they were a set of internal briefings if you put it this way or analysis. That all of the american diplomats. Wrote and delivered back to the state department. Leaked u. S. Diplomatic cables published on november the 28th 2010 it contains u. S. Diplomatic correspondents from 966. 00 to 2010 and includes 100000 documents marked confidential and 15000. 00 marked secret. You have to understand the scale of this release of information if we took these cables and we printed them out into and they would go betweens in petersburg and moscow it is that much material i can give you. A simple example of what was interest in those cables in regard to sweden because i worked with the materials that were related in these documents we could see here and thats which politicians of them come to the u. S. Ambassador and they ask for services for the services they would ask for would be. We have a problem with this we are sure of Public Opinion they would sit there as we have Public Opinion doesnt like the war in afghanistan and they dont want us to participate in the war afghanistan could you please help us there by inviting some afghani women here to sweden and well put them on swedish t. V. So they can talk about the good things that were doing there suddenly youre. About the. Swedish politicians and swedish sure Public Servants undercutting the way the 2 democracy is supposed to function and theyre doing that together with them with us said diplomats contrary to the interests of the swedish people one of the hopeful things that ive discovered. Is that really every war that is thought of him. As being a result of. Mediocrity what does that mean. That means basically populations dont like. And populations have to be fooled and will. Be treated as an enemy combatant which really should be closed down permanently and decisively to try to reduce any broken every law to stick with you it was like a hotel a visit. And no service is not a better job of a good elysia. Union was at his height of popularity when sweden. Vats he attracted. Amorous ladies. Its understandable that he would be attractive to young men and hes. A young man and she said his ambition is very high and noble noble ambitions so that made him even more attractive to.
