Philosophers Zone - 26 February 2011 - The Julian Assange Conspiracy - Networks, power and activism

We though are turning our attention to the political philosophy of Julian Assange. Hi, I'm Alan Saunders. The reason Assange has been leaking all this information is that he believes that this is a way to dismantle the conspiracies of the powerful, so Assange's view of conspiracies is what we're going to be talking about this week, with the help of somebody who's written on the subject, Peter Ludlow, Professor of Philosophy at Northwestern University in the U.S. Peter, welcome to The Philosopher's Zone.

Assange Speaks

Mark Davis has been in the courtroom, following the extradition hearing. He sat down with Assange for an exclusive one on one interview when the court went into recess a few days ago.

I caught up with Assange again in during a break in the extradition hearings a few days ago. Did Assange Play Lawyer? A recently published book excerpt suggests that “Jay Lim,” an occasional WikiLeaks spokesperson often identified as its legal advisor, was merely an online pseudonym of Julian Assange.

Did Assange Play Lawyer?

The excerpts, posted on cryptome.org, are (naturally) leaked scans of an early copy of WikiLeaks’s defector Daniel Domscheit-Berg’s upcoming book. Domscheit-Berg, before his break with the organization, had long operated under the pseudonym of “Daniel Schmidt.” Domscheit-Berg, usually described as once being the organization’s second most important player, writes that Assange used many pseudonyms, and suggests that “Lim” may have been one of them: If true, this naturally raises questions about the historic quality of legal advice WikiLeaks did (or, perhaps more accurately, did not) receive, and the seriousness with which the organization approached legal questions. One person who claimed that WikiLeaks sources would be well protected under Swedish law was “Jay Lim.”

What would “Jay Lim” think of that? "Inside WikiLeaks", portrait au vitriol de Julian Assange.

WikiLeaks and Julian Assange

The shifting northerly winds can suddenly bring ice and snow to the city, even in springtime, and when they do a certain kind of silence sets in. This was the case on the morning of March 30th, when a tall Australian man named Julian Paul Assange, with gray eyes and a mop of silver-white hair, arrived to rent the place. Assange was dressed in a gray full-body snowsuit, and he had with him a small entourage. “We are journalists,” he told the owner of the house. People OK with murdering Assange. J.A. hires PR team.
