WikiRebels — The Documentary Exclusive rough-cut of first in-depth documentary on WikiLeaks and the people behind it! From summer 2010 until now, Swedish Television has been following the secretive media network WikiLeaks and its enigmatic Editor-in-Chief Julian Assange. Reporters Jesper Huor and Bosse Lindquist have traveled to key countries where WikiLeaks operates, interviewing top members, such as Assange, new Spokesperson Kristinn Hrafnsson, as well as people like Daniel Domscheit-Berg who now is starting his own version – Openleaks.org! Where is the secretive organization heading? Stronger than ever, or broken by the US? Who is Assange: champion of freedom, spy or rapist? What are his objectives? What are the consequences for the internet?
Alright alright, information was released, Assange risks his life to release this info. Let us not put him on pedestal or make him a secular martyr yet.
I believe that Assange believed that he made the release of information more effective by doing what he did, it may in the long run not be the correct thing to do for the organization but it did do what it needed to do very effectively and used the same energy that the groups, media and governments use to effectively launch a counter point that would be seen by many more and not just web rats.
Assange himself may be another web rat, but he knows the power of the media and used his publicity.
Daniel obviously doesn’t see how much of an asshole he looks like.
6:45 By this logic 4chan should start publishing the IPs, names, and addresses of all of its participants. Transparency is not an absolute. There are quite a few people in the business of “information activism” who seem to have no clue about the dynamics of anonymity when things don’t go their way.
Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same. – Job 4:8 (Don’t be surprised when we, in America, see and hear and experience a bunch of horrible things here; for that’s the result of reaping what we have sown, in what we have been doing, all over the world! In a little while God will set it on fire for these things; that mean He will take His own, and, He will allow Russia to set it on fire with their bombs! Why? Because of all our great iniquity against Him!)
JULIAN ASSANGE is my hero i love what he is doingif 911 was a inside job after THAT we kill millions of people destroy 2 countries which side do you think God is on the Al-Qaeda & Taliban is the only people that is fighting against the ONE WORLD ORDER 4 real they are protecting thir countries and its natural resources from the LIKES George Bush, Dick Chaney, Halliburton and the likes of the rich in the NEW WORLD ORDER they are going save our freedom in USA from NWO
Thanks for sharing.
Fuck those stupid assholes that were put up to framing him. I cannot stand how the government tracked his people who we had relations with then twisted it. It takes nothing more than money to persuade the 3rd party.
@anthonzi As a member of the attackers on MCAA I can tell u, we all had our own motives, mostly the freedom of information, we aren’t going to plaster every bit of info on the web about ourselves. We aren’t doing anything that can negatively effect you we are trying to get a point across to the governments involved in Wikileaks. We are not going to destroy the ability to be anonymous which is our weapon. Anonymous is just people not knowing who you are, it isn’t secrecy. It is our privacy right.
As much as we’d like to make this all about Assange and who he is. It isn’t. It’s about the information. Who cares if Assange is a dick. He’s a very brave dick.
so great to have that anonymous way of leaking data, this is the real war of conscience.
That moron Christian Whiton said “We’re a democracy” — He obviously does not know the difference between a Republic, which is the United States, and a Democracy. Has he never said the Pledge of Allegiance? “And to the REPUBLIC for which it stands”
That Whiton guy is just one of the millions of right wing idiots who are pissing in their own cereal. They want to keep everything classified and before they know, politicians and corporations are fucking them in the ass with 10-inch strap-ons without them realizing or caring. Conservatives spout about freedom all the time, but it’s just a rhetorical thing. Just a word. They aren’t really for freedom, but for restrictions.
@pelataanpa
Believe me, it’s not just republicans and right wing people doing it. Do you think democrats don’t restrict the people as well?
Nice suits and ties and short haircuts all these polititians on nice expences to fund their lifestyles – next time they all go to war over oil, religeon or whatevers suggest they do a bit time in a training unit with a Marine or Para Unit & dont take any cowboy minded kiddies into a battlezone with em – Ex Royal Marine Commando Happy Xmas
@Gezab Every political party does, that’s basically what they do. I don’t believe in politics, because all it is is playing with money and power, both of which we have to get rid of with a resource based economy.
People are working with information, you can’t stop people from thinking and having ideals so you can’t stop the leaking. Nothing will stop it, even conflicts (like between Daniel and Julian), because conflicts will create more Xleaks media points, and that is awesome, that is what keeping me believing in humanity.
Great Video!
Julian was experiencing a power trip. But that happens often, I know he will realize what he did and support other wikileak type websites. It has to expand to more than one source.
Doesn’t anybody realize that this will be the last time America will be caught with it’s pants down? You think they ‘re going to allow these information loopholes to continue? HA! Live it up ASSange. I’m pretty sure your sources are going to be drying up soon. Personally it pisses me off that he’s trying to blackmail a whole country to continue getting laid as the uber cool hacker from some crappy movie. I don’t see who elected him best qualified to handle sensitive material. He ‘s an egomaniac.
I wonder what Sweden got from the US for these rape accusements? American goverment is a bunch of rotten cowards.
@megafauna7 You have it all wrong. You must be American
@miskimmin – Not all Americans are like megafauna7
@mickeyflynn1954 – These politicians do not have the balls, trust me, I know… – Ex Especialista en Sistemas de Misiles, España.
@megafauna7 it’s people like you that make me ashamed to call myself an American.
