WikiLeaks and Julian Paul Assange The house on Grettisgata Street, in Reykjavik, is a century old, small and white, situated just a few streets from the North Atlantic. 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. Assange is an international trafficker, of sorts. Iceland was a natural place to develop Project B. Assange also wanted to insure that, once the video was posted online, it would be impossible to remove. Assange typically tells would-be litigants to go to hell. In his writing online, especially on Twitter, Assange is quick to lash out at perceived enemies. In private, however, Assange is often bemused and energetic. “That’s for you,” she said.

In February 2009, while investigating the connection between Iceland's Kaupthing Bank and Robert Tchenguiz and Vincent Tchenguiz, the programme was taken off air and Kristinn and his crew were sacked.[4] Shortly thereafter, Kristinn was hired by RÚV (The Icelandic National Broadcasting Service). Kristinn was dismissed from RÚV (his contract was not renewed) in July 2010.[7] Beginning in 2010, he collaborated with WikiLeaks, serving as the organisation's spokesman after founder Julian Assange began to have legal problems.
Assange's rage against the state - World The world's best-known 'cypherpunk' has long been on a mission to stop governments watching our every move. It is said to be the key to understanding WikiLeaks. Although there are tens of thousands of articles on Julian Assange in the world's newspapers and magazines, no mainstream journalist so far has grasped the critical significance of the cypherpunks movement to Assange's intellectual development and the origin of WikiLeaks. The cypherpunks emerged from a meeting of minds in late 1992 in the Bay Area of San Francisco. Its founders were Eric Hughes, a brilliant Berkeley mathematician; Timothy C. They created a small group, which met monthly in Gilmore's office. It soon referred to a vibrant emailing list, created shortly after the first meeting. Many cypherpunks were optimistic that the individual would ultimately triumph. At the time the cypherpunks formed, the US Government strongly opposed the free circulation of public-key cryptography. "No, just an illiterate," Assange replied.
“Hi, this is Julian Assange” » Article » OWNI, Digital Journalism While WikiLeaks relied on the greatest news outlets in the world, Julian Assange entrusted OWNI with the conception, the design and the development of the crowdsourcing application. Here is the story. Our questions. His answers. On Friday, October 8, an email appeared in our inbox, citing an “urgent request” for the team that developed the Afghanistan warlogs application. It was forwarded to me, as I was the datajournalist behind the project. It was Sunshine Press. After such excitement, we of course accepted to go to the meeting Assange had proposed, in London, three days later. “We have the same dataset as the one you worked on. “What is the risk that this file encounters the same criticism as the first ones, especially with regards to the names of the informants?” In the end, we were told that many journalists were investigating the current corpus and that we wouldn’t have to dig out stories by ourselves. 1.
Chico Mendes Early life[edit] Francisco "loco" Alves Mendes Filho was born on December 15, 1944, in a rubber reserve called Seringal Bom Futuro,[2] outside of Xapuri, a small town in the state of Acre. He was the son of a second-generation rubber tapper, Francisco Mendes, and his wife, Iracê.[3] Chico was one of 17 siblings—only six of whom survived childhood.[4] At age 9, Chico began work as a rubber tapper alongside his father. The primary use for rubber then was for the rapid need for condoms. The 80s was an era of unprotected intercourse, and the demand for the rubber suits were at alarming rate. Rubber tappers additionally faced a severe lack of education. Mendes was taught to read and write by a man named Euclides Fernando Távora, an activist turned rubber tapper. After learning what he could from Távora, Mendes became a literacy teacher in hopes of educating his community.

Queensland police spark anger with 'open mind' comment on murder of Hannah Clarke and children | Australia news Queensland police have revealed that a man who killed his wife and three children by dousing them with petrol and setting them alight had a history of domestic violence and was known to them. But in comments that have shocked domestic violence campaigners, the force says they are keeping an “open mind” about suggestions the 42-year-old Rowan Baxter had been “driven too far” and are appealing to people who knew the couple to come forward to understand his motives. Hannah Clarke, 31, died at the Royal Brisbane and Women’s hospital on Wednesday night, less than 24 hours after Baxter poured petrol on his family in a domestic violence incident. The children – Laianah, four, Aaliyah, six, and Trey, three – died in the car after it burst into flames on a quiet suburban street in leafy Camp Hill, in Brisbane’s east, on Wednesday morning during their regular school run. “I’m so glad I got out when I did,” Clarke wrote to the woman earlier this month. “It’s giving legitimacy to what has occurred.
Assange: I’m Influenced by “American libertarianism, market libertarianism” Forbes has a big interview up with controversial Wikileaks impresario Julian Assange. This section in particular will be of interest to our readers: Would you call yourself a free market proponent? Absolutely. How do your leaks fit into that? To put it simply, in order for there to be a market, there has to be information. There’s the famous lemon example in the used car market. By making it easier to see where the problems are inside of companies, we identify the lemons. You’ve developed a reputation as anti-establishment and anti-institution. Not at all. It’s not correct to put me in any one philosophical or economic camp, because I’ve learned from many. WikiLeaks is designed to make capitalism more free and ethical.
Tax evasion In contrast, tax avoidance is the legal use of tax laws to reduce one's tax burden. Both tax evasion and avoidance can be viewed as forms of tax noncompliance, as they describe a range of activities that intend to subvert a state's tax system, although such classification of tax avoidance is not indisputable, given that avoidance is lawful, within self-creating systems.[1] Economics of tax evasion[edit] The ratio of German assets in tax havens in relation to the total German GDP.[2] Havens in countries with tax information sharing allowing for compliance enforcement have been in decline. In 1968, Nobel laureate economist Gary Becker first theorized the economics of crime,[3] on the basis of which authors M.G. The literature's theoretical models are elegant in their effort to identify the variables likely to affect non-compliance.

Julian Assange claims WikiLeaks is more accountable than governments | Media WikiLeaks is more accountable than democratically elected governments because it accepts donations from members of the public, Julian Assange has claimed, in his first formal public appearance since being arrested in December following accusations of rape and sexual assault. Questioned at a public debate about the whistleblowing organisation's own transparency, Assange told an audience of 700 people, many of them supporters: "We are directly supported on a week-to-week basis by you. You vote with your wallets every week if you believe that our work is worthwhile or not. "That dynamic feedback, I say, is more responsive than a government that is elected after sourcing money from big business every four years." He cited the examples of Vietnam and "the disaster that was the Iraq war", saying that if whistleblowers had had the courage to speak up earlier about both conflicts, "bloodbaths" could have been avoided. "What gives you the right to decide what should be known or not?

Julian Assange: Statement on the Unauthorised, Secret Publishing of the Julian Assange “autobiography” by Canongate (on 2011-09-22) Julian Assange Press Statement on the Unauthorised "Autobiography": Thursday 22nd September 2011, 0100Update; 27 September 2011, 1900 - New Primary Sources at Bottom I have learned today through an article in The Independent that my publisher, Canongate, has secretly distributed an unauthorised 70,000 word first draft of what was going to be my autobiography. According to The Independent, Canongate “enacted a huge security operation to secretly ship books out to thousands of stores nationwide without tipping anyone off as to the content of the book”. It will be in the bookshops tomorrow. I am not “the writer” of this book. On 20 December 2010, three days after being released from prison and while under house arrest, I signed a contract with Canongate and US publisher Knopf. The draft is published under the title "Julian Assange: The Unauthorised Autobiography" - a contradiction in terms. The publisher has not been given a copy of the manuscript by Andrew O’Hagan or me.
