Julian Assange Speaks in Nantucket—As a Hologram

Posted on by

A ghostly Julian Assange appeared by hologram at the Nantucket Project on Sunday, beamed in from the Ecuadorian embassy where he has stayed under political asylum since 2012 (though he says he will soon leave).

Interviewed by the filmmaker Eugene Jarecki, Assange discussed digital analogues to the shops and services in the old town square: banks, stores, post offices and libraries.

I am in some ways, he said, just a simple librarian whos very good at saying no.

However, as his self-appointed WikiLeaks title of editor in chief suggests, hes also a publisher. And from inside the Ecuadorean embassy, hes found it very hard to carry out that role. I cant physically meet sources, he said, noting that this makes for a particular challenge when dealing with others who are also confined in some way, like Ai WeiWei, who cannot leave China.

Labels that Assange will not accept for himself include vigilante and martyr. He says he made his decision to leak the controversial Chelsea Manning papers with a level head, predicting that it would be a hard time for maybe five to seven years, but that there will be some benefits to his risk. Four years later, he stands by that decision.

He believes the Tim Berners-Lees recent call for a Magna Carta of the Internet probably should be done, but he is skeptical that we can actually reach international consensus. We will create norms as norms have always been created in the past, he says, not mainly by belief, not mainly be desire, but by action.

Assange discussed his new book, When Google Met WikiLeaks, and noted that Google executive chairman Eric Schmidts book, How Google Works, has also come out this week. If you see Eric Schmidts book, the cover of it is remarkably similar to the cover of this book, he said, brandishing a hologram version of his own. So similar that Im not sure the timing was a coincidence in publication. Both covers are inspired by Googles iconic homepage.

Google, Assange says, would pass itself off as a company of fluffy graduate students, or, not even a company at all, but something that gives free services.

Its not that, he says. Its a normal company, just like other normal companies in the U.S. It should be seen as a normal company.

However, Google differs from other normal companies, he says, in its project to collect as much information about the world as is possible, store it, index it, make predictive models about peoples interests, and use that to sell advertising. This, he says, is basically what the National Security Agency is doing.

STOCKHOLM Edward Snowden has been selected among the winners of the Right Livelihood Award, also known as the "alternative Nobel," for his disclosures of top secret surveillance programs.

The award foundation on Wednesday said the former National Security Agency contractor splits the honorary portion of the prize with Guardian editor Alan Rusbridger.

The 1.5 million kronor ($210,000) cash award is shared by Pakistani human rights activist Asma Jahangir, Basil Fernando of the Asian Human Rights Commission and U.S. environmentalist Bill McKibben.

Award foundation director Ole von Uexkull said all winners were invited to the Dec. 1 award ceremony in Stockholm, though he added it's unclear whether Snowden, who remains exiled in Russia, can attend.

The awards were established to recognize efforts the foundation felt were being ignored by the Nobel Prizes.

Could Snowden come to Berlin?

Posted on by

A German parliamentary inquiry looking into US National Security Agency (NSA) spying in Germany initially decided it would not invite whistleblower and former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, who leaked the documents revealing the US intelligence agency's massive spy programs, to testify in Berlin.

The Green and Left opposition parties on Friday requested that the German Constitutional Court, the country's highest legal institution, rule on whether Snowden should testify in front of the inquiry committee in Berlin to provide a "global overview of the technical conditions of mass surveillance," according to Greens lawmaker Konstantin von Notz.

Although the German government appears not to want to risk harming its relationship with the US by allowing Snowden to speak in Berlin, inquiry committee members from Germany's governing parties have said they also want to hear from Snowden. They, however, want to do it via video link or in Russia, where Snowden currently lives in exile, rather than in the German capital.

Opposition members may have to wait years for a ruling

Snowden has requested Germany ignore a standing US extradition request and provide him with security guarantees if he were to travel to the country.

Snowden is wanted by the United States for theft of government property and unauthorized communication of classified intelligence. The German government has argued that allowing Snowden into the country would endanger national security by threatening German-American relations. For his part, Snowden has refused to testify from Russia.

Now it's up to the justices of Germany's Constitutional Court to decide "whether we, as parliamentarians, can exert our oversight function or whether the federal government and intelligence services control oversight," said Martina Renner of the Left party. She called for the inquiry's hearings to be made completely open to the public.

The opposition parties leveled their suit at the German government and its party members in the parliamentary inquiry as a constitutional dispute between government institutions for the Constitutional Court to rule on. But a final ruling could take years, according to attorney of record Astrid Wallrabenstein, a law professor at Frankfurt University.

The German government said Snowden did not meet its asylum criteria

Exactly what is in the suit has not yet been announced. Greens politician Christian Strbele said the court should have time to become acquainted with the material before taking it to the public.
