more revelations from Edwards on and this time
it's about the government's reaction WikiLeaks this is really interesting
as it goes to show you with your men really think supreme the press and the
First Amendment let alone
the violation of our privacy in the fourth amendment rug Obama used to be a
constitutional law professor
I yeah
alright so the hill explains documents show that in August of 2010
the NSA urged at least three other countries to consider filing criminal
charges
yes the signs for unauthorized publication of documents
about the war in Afghanistan now join us I engine publishing these documents
did exactly what the new york times did in for example the pentagon papers
or in the release case
the new york times in the major media also publish those eventually
so should they all go to jail not always the first one who did it I don't know he
was in part a mainstream media organization
but not only were we consider an arresting him but we were actually
other countries to rest clear violation of the First Amendment
but this government and the one before obviously didn't give a damn
at all the AST can we treat our foreign server who stores are potentially some
unease leaked or stolen US data
on its servers as malicious porn actor
for the purpose of targeting with no defeats examples WikiLeaks The Pirate
Bay .org
et cetera they want to treat some of these groups like WikiLeaks as malicious
porn actors why
well let me explain labeling organization as malicious porn actors
would allow the NSA to track communications over anyone
communicating with the group including american citizens
then this is normally otherwise prohibited from snooping on Americans
and also been a joke but but but at the time they're thinking okay
how can we get around all the restrictions so that if
but you're working with we leaks in any way shape or form you feel
if we label you a malicious for an actor
and I guess any journalist now it's what you there as i the United States
would be considered a malicious porn actor by this government well then we
can
you know wiretap you and not just you but any American citizen
miss you commit a crime now we just called you malicious
so what when Katie we get a warrant no of course not we just called the
malicious
now that was AST yet and then the response
is unclear cuz that part of the documentation was not leaked so we don't
we don't know pig
government said yes go ahead call a malicious porn actors but that request
was put in by different branches the government okay
but he gets a little worse then it's his British counterpart
government communications headquarters track to visitors a WikiLeaks website
the people who use certain search terms to reach the site from Google
and other search engines so not just WikiLeaks
if you read weekly leaks that information about your own government
the government wanted to track you down find out who you were
Aspire now in this case is the British government right
who think that the british government is it been giving out information to the
american government
on which planet in fact there's a group of english-speaking countries including
New Zealand Australia Canada
recall the fire ice and what they do is they cooperate together to collect
information
0 in britain what laws can you buy a way that we could buy late in america
okay great did you do that nostril you do this because we couldn't do that in
the UK war
American men will collect information together spano versus
it's great and by the way you know whether WikiLeaks website other the
people who actually care by the government the most guys there
active enough engaged in up to want to know what their government actually did
also almost all the germ with that cover that area
because they had to go to the site to know what was happening so they can
report on
great other words the British intelligence
tracked all the journalist who gave a damn about national security
and spied in on them too Edward stone in Julian Assange your heroes
for revealing what our government actually up to back if our government in
mind when they reveal themselves if they were proud of it when they say
oh yea of course bitter legal even have been a free on the press and we don't
believe
the you should be able to go and find out what we're doing so we're going to
track all your spine on your private lives
if you dare even read this the one you just say it then if you're probably
meetings not only leaving is not unconstitutional if you're not really
working with a bridge what do you tell what's
instead they try to hide this at all costs
and it anyone revealed any other secrets their malicious
foreign actors now of course when the British government violates our privacy
is american citizens
they're not malicious porn actors they're lovely porn actors
who are government a process
thank God for the leaks the true American heroes are people like Edward
stone
tell us where governments actually up to
