  • Wikileaks changed the world.

  • A series of revealing internet publications

  • have upset established diplomatic channels, corporate and government secrets

  • and traditional journalism.

  • The powers that be aren't having it.

  • The hunt for Wikileaks frontman Julian Assange is on.

  • Now, his longtime companians are next.

  • Dutchman Rop Gonggrijp for example:

  • Branded by De Telegraaf as enemy of the state to the United States.

  • This is today's Telegraaf, the frontpage: United States after hacker Gonggrijp.

  • - It's a scandalous article, a series of allegations that really are scandalous.

  • The American justice department may be looking for him, but here he is:

  • Rop Gonggrijp, welcome.

  • My part in the case is yet undetermined, whether I'd be a witness or a suspect

  • it's unclear, it only says that there's information they'd like to have.

  • Tonight in Backlight: How Assange, Gonggrijp and other Wikileaks members

  • from a small Iceland house, published that which was supposed to be kept secret.

  • backlight

  • THE WIKILEAKS CODE

  • Good evening, this is the news, but not all of the news we wanted to tell you.

  • Tonight, we wanted to report on the enormous loans made by Kaupthing

  • to companies owned by the owners of the bank. But unfortunately, we can't.

  • The information published online caused great unrest.

  • Julian Assange got his first Commodore 64 at 16 years old.

  • He quickly became active as a hacker under the alias Mendax.

  • Together with two of his friends, he founded the International Subversives.

  • Their first large hack was cracking secure computers of Canadian Nortel telecom company.

  • In 2006, Assange started his weblog,

  • where he explained that the battle is no longer one of left versus right,

  • but of the individual versus institutions.

  • I first met Julian at a congress in Kuala Lumpur

  • and the conversations I and others had with him were about strengthening the press.

  • We saw, and see, a press that's in trouble.

  • His way of thinking was, that when a huge gap arises between what is really happening

  • in the world, and what people know and the media is putting out there,

  • the perception that exists with the public at large and within the media,

  • if the gap between that and what's really happening, becomes too large

  • and instead just grows uncontrollably larger,

  • then a situation arises wherein the public can no longer correct government.

  • where elections no longer serve to elect the right politicians,

  • and it's all about empty soundbites and spin.

  • And that's something we shouldn't want to see happen.

  • As long as I've known Julian, he's had a strong idea about that gap

  • as something that with new knowledge and an independant approach should do something about.

  • Iceland has some of the natural features

  • that in terms of data centers, for large collections of computers and cables

  • is very optimal: because it has near free energy, and easy access to coolants

  • as well as short distance glassfiber connections to the European and American continent.

  • So Iceland, in terms of offering large amounts of data

  • and for being the worlds media-hub, it has the right features.

  • Good afternoon, welcome.

  • What are we going to discuss? - The IMMI of course.

  • You are in the fortunate position of leading two Departments.

  • The law has to be adjusted somewhat...

  • The law has to be adjusted somewhat... (Consultation with the Minister of Justice)

  • to clarify the purpose of the IMMI.

  • I wrote it down here...

  • It falls under the Departments of Transport and Justice.

  • The laws of Telecommunications.

  • Smari also told me to tell you...

  • that the new law on our domain name is not much of an improvement.

  • It's good to hear your responses...

  • ...on the WikiLeaks leak.

  • In response to that we've proposed

  • that regarding the IMMI we write a declaration

  • that the internet service providers will have to sign.

  • To establish their reliability.

  • Where these companies promose not to bow to external pressures.

  • Then the only way to disrupt service will be...

  • a ruling by the courts.

  • The basic plan was there, the video was there.

  • But then all this other stuff still had to be done.

  • And we were on very tight deadlines, a lot had to be done in a very short time.

  • Kristinn and Ingi, both Icelandic journalists, went to Baghdad.

  • And I went from ATM to ATM in the middle of the night

  • to give them some cash upfront

  • so that they'd be able to do their thing in Baghdad.

  • Because we'd been working so much on the images of the van

  • we saw that van come across a couple of times already in the video.

  • That really hits home, the moment you realize those shots hitting the windshield...

  • what that really meant.

  • And you see those images of the two children... it did make me cry for a time.

  • There was a general feeling that it'd be unfortunate if the Defence Department

  • was able to completely anticipate the things that were about to be leaked.

  • You could imagine all sorts of things...

  • Intelligence services trying to find out... the easiest way to find out

  • what's going on inside a house is standing outside the windows.

  • So you close the drapes. I don't think that's a bizarre precaution to take.

  • Julian twittered that people from the US embassy...

  • followed him on a plane.

  • And he discovered this, and this caused a lot of distress for him.

  • And a series of defensive tweets.

  • At one point, we closed our notebooks at the last minute

  • Julian changed into somewhat presentable clothes...

  • We checked in...

  • and they told Julian they couldn't process his ticket.

  • So we panicked, intelligence agencies are fucking with us, God knows what's going on.

  • And it became clear Julian booked his own ticket but didn't complete the payment.

  • My face was pale, and Julian had this smirky smile,

  • "Good luck at the press conference Rop, I'll see how it goes online."

  • So I was completely pale faced by that time.

  • American website Wikileaks has published confidential footage...

  • showing a lethal helicopter attack on Iraqi civilians and journalists.

  • The images of the American helicopter attack may be shocking to some viewers.

  • Interpol has placed the founder of Wikileaks, Julian Assange

  • on its list of most wanted criminals

  • following a warrant for his arrest in a Swedish rape case.

  • This is what it's all about: The Swedish arrest warrant

  • to arrest Julian Assange on suspicion of rape.

  • A purely Swedish case which, according to the prosecutor, the US don't have any part in.

  • Sucks. My friend Julian has a problem.

  • (Court hearing)

  • You quickly noticed Julian was five steps ahead of most people around you.

  • - That can be a difficulty.

  • That can be difficult, it probably doesn't make your relationships any easier.

  • We see a trend towards more transparancy.

  • There's a trend towards information spreading faster, is shared faster by more people.

  • But there's also a trend in government who in part want to prevent this and in part

  • want to be able to intervene, the internet kill switch that Lieberman talks about.

  • The idea that there needs to be surveillance of the things that go on online.

  • Governments that try to limit even basic internet freedoms.

  • Who put filters in place, who will be filtering out large parts of the internet.

  • So you see these in part opposite trends.

  • I do think that in the next 5 years or 10 years...

  • it will be decided which of these trends will be dominant, and which will win.

Wikileaks changed the world.
