Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:13,230 --> 00:00:15,058
- Anonymous--
- Cyber attack--
2
00:00:15,189 --> 00:00:17,974
- A new kind of warfare--
- Hackers and activists--
3
00:00:18,105 --> 00:00:19,628
- Security leaks--
- Computer hackers--
4
00:00:19,758 --> 00:00:21,195
- Hackers--
- Hacktivists.
5
00:00:27,853 --> 00:00:30,334
- Anonymous has struck
again, with a warning,
6
00:00:30,465 --> 00:00:31,988
this is just the beginning.
7
00:00:32,119 --> 00:00:34,599
- Anonymous is a collective
known for recent attacks
8
00:00:34,730 --> 00:00:36,253
on government and
corporate websites.
9
00:00:36,384 --> 00:00:37,994
- The Internet is a
powerful new medium
10
00:00:38,125 --> 00:00:41,041
where just a handful
of people in small groups,
11
00:00:41,171 --> 00:00:43,652
just by shifting data around
in the right directions,
12
00:00:43,782 --> 00:00:45,828
can make big changes
and big damage.
13
00:00:45,958 --> 00:00:48,091
- The more you said,
the more frightening it was.
14
00:00:48,222 --> 00:00:50,267
- The Pentagon is now
singling out Anonymous
15
00:00:50,398 --> 00:00:53,096
as an example of the
serious new cyber-threats
16
00:00:53,227 --> 00:00:54,793
facing the country.
17
00:00:54,924 --> 00:00:57,057
- The fundamental unit here
is information warfare.
18
00:00:57,187 --> 00:00:58,667
- We're gaining
back the freedoms
19
00:00:58,797 --> 00:01:00,625
that the forefathers assured us
20
00:01:00,756 --> 00:01:02,888
through technology, and we
can't... we can't allow these
21
00:01:03,019 --> 00:01:05,717
freedoms to be taken away.
I will put my body on the altar
22
00:01:05,848 --> 00:01:08,198
of liberty again and again
and again.
23
00:01:16,032 --> 00:01:18,208
- Information is the weapon.
24
00:01:18,339 --> 00:01:20,993
And information properly
understood and properly used
25
00:01:21,124 --> 00:01:22,908
in an honest way
is more effective
26
00:01:23,039 --> 00:01:24,736
than anything else
in the world.
27
00:01:31,917 --> 00:01:33,832
- If you've got your eye
on Boeing, go for it.
28
00:01:33,963 --> 00:01:35,704
I'd like to see those
fuckers go down.
29
00:01:35,834 --> 00:01:37,488
Download the code,
modify the code just a bit.
30
00:01:37,619 --> 00:01:39,055
Bombard the Pentagon.
You're either with us,
31
00:01:39,186 --> 00:01:40,796
or you're against us.
32
00:01:57,334 --> 00:02:01,295
[woman]: You have 15 minutes
available for this call.
33
00:02:01,425 --> 00:02:04,298
[woman]: Hello?
[man]: Uh--
34
00:02:04,428 --> 00:02:06,256
- Andrew, are you there?
35
00:02:15,178 --> 00:02:17,659
It's not scary
to be going to prison?
36
00:02:17,789 --> 00:02:19,574
- No, I never was scared
to be going to prison.
37
00:02:19,704 --> 00:02:20,966
There's all these cool people,
38
00:02:21,097 --> 00:02:22,881
and I'm learning
all these cool things.
39
00:02:23,012 --> 00:02:25,797
And I'm making
lifelong future friends
40
00:02:25,928 --> 00:02:27,886
and future business
partners, certainly.
41
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,598
Embarrassing people, I enjoy it.
It's viscerally fun.
42
00:02:43,728 --> 00:02:45,252
[woman]: He's an instigator.
43
00:02:45,382 --> 00:02:46,905
[man]: The most lovable
little pest on the Internet.
44
00:02:47,036 --> 00:02:48,559
[man]: His ability to make
other people
45
00:02:48,690 --> 00:02:50,431
so angry
is the talent that he has.
46
00:02:50,561 --> 00:02:53,608
- Almost 90% of the articles
that come out for weev,
47
00:02:53,738 --> 00:02:56,306
they all start out with,
he's a dick, he's an asshole.
48
00:02:56,437 --> 00:03:02,182
- Little weev is going to troll
the fuck out of Apple and AT&T.
49
00:03:14,324 --> 00:03:18,110
- How do I plan on keeping
my corn bread safe in prison?
50
00:03:18,241 --> 00:03:19,503
[laughter]
51
00:03:19,634 --> 00:03:22,593
I will stab a nigger
52
00:03:22,724 --> 00:03:26,380
that dares reach
across my plate.
53
00:03:31,950 --> 00:03:36,912
I am the Bruce Lee of regexp.
54
00:03:37,042 --> 00:03:40,872
I didn't get caught.
I put my name on what I did.
55
00:03:41,003 --> 00:03:43,745
I'm not here to play nice
with AT&T.
56
00:03:43,875 --> 00:03:45,790
I'm here to comment
and criticize.
57
00:03:45,921 --> 00:03:49,185
There was a URL
on an AT&T web server
58
00:03:49,316 --> 00:03:50,534
with a number at the end.
59
00:03:50,665 --> 00:03:52,971
And if you add one
to this number,
60
00:03:53,102 --> 00:03:55,887
like you could have typed it
in the iPad web browser
61
00:03:56,018 --> 00:03:58,238
over and over again,
you would see
62
00:03:58,368 --> 00:04:00,588
the next iPad 3G
user email address.
63
00:04:08,900 --> 00:04:11,207
Here's AT&T handing out
a complete target list
64
00:04:11,338 --> 00:04:12,687
of their customers.
65
00:04:12,817 --> 00:04:15,603
I was morally required
to come forward
66
00:04:15,733 --> 00:04:17,648
and sort of put them
over the coals for this.
67
00:04:17,779 --> 00:04:20,347
It was, like,
114,000 email addresses.
68
00:04:20,477 --> 00:04:22,000
[woman]: And it's quite a list.
69
00:04:22,131 --> 00:04:23,698
[man]: New York Times CEO
Janet Robinson.
70
00:04:23,828 --> 00:04:25,395
[woman]: White House
Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel.
71
00:04:25,526 --> 00:04:26,962
[woman]: Diane Sawyer.
72
00:04:27,092 --> 00:04:28,659
[woman]: Not to mention
the US Army and Congress.
73
00:04:28,790 --> 00:04:31,227
- It doesn't get
much more high profile
74
00:04:31,358 --> 00:04:33,969
than Mayor Michael Bloomberg
of New York City.
75
00:04:34,099 --> 00:04:36,058
- Mayor Bloomberg was like,
this isn't a big deal.
76
00:04:36,188 --> 00:04:38,321
It's not like people
can't find my email address.
77
00:04:51,813 --> 00:04:54,076
I'm aggregating
public data and using it
78
00:04:54,206 --> 00:04:57,601
to criticize people
whose politics I dislike.
79
00:04:57,732 --> 00:05:00,691
The FBI is combing
through people's emails,
80
00:05:00,822 --> 00:05:02,606
grossly violating
their constitutional rights.
81
00:05:02,737 --> 00:05:04,826
I think I have moral
superiority here.
82
00:05:07,219 --> 00:05:08,743
[rock music]
83
00:05:14,270 --> 00:05:15,967
- NSA and FBI
are both walking here.
84
00:05:16,098 --> 00:05:17,578
And they're looking
at the computers.
85
00:05:17,708 --> 00:05:19,710
And they're like, oh
my god, these red dots,
86
00:05:19,841 --> 00:05:20,929
they're converging.
87
00:05:22,365 --> 00:05:24,062
They hit a button...
[imitating an alarm]
88
00:05:25,194 --> 00:05:26,761
- No black SUV.
89
00:05:26,891 --> 00:05:30,373
There's been black SUVs outside
the past couple of days.
90
00:05:35,247 --> 00:05:37,380
- All the red dots are
in the same room right now.
91
00:05:37,511 --> 00:05:38,773
- There's gonna be
even more later.
92
00:05:38,903 --> 00:05:40,731
[man]: Magic fucking genie.
93
00:05:40,862 --> 00:05:43,430
You're actually in power.
You're in charge.
94
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,475
- The most drastic improvements
that need to be made
95
00:05:45,606 --> 00:05:47,347
are in the education system.
96
00:05:47,477 --> 00:05:50,306
We need to give people the kind
of classical Western education
97
00:05:50,437 --> 00:05:51,568
that they used to have.
98
00:05:51,699 --> 00:05:53,570
We need a curriculum
that embraces,
99
00:05:53,701 --> 00:05:55,920
you know, like, Keats and Byron.
100
00:05:56,051 --> 00:05:58,619
[man]: It doesn't sound
revolutionary.
101
00:05:58,749 --> 00:06:00,098
- It's absolutely revolutionary.
102
00:06:00,229 --> 00:06:02,318
We have people in power
that have explicitly
103
00:06:02,449 --> 00:06:05,321
engineered our education system
to make people dumb,
104
00:06:05,452 --> 00:06:06,975
obedient, and uncreative.
105
00:06:07,105 --> 00:06:10,282
Getting them out of fucking
power and remaking it
106
00:06:10,413 --> 00:06:14,199
so people can be free-thinking,
well-educated, sensible,
107
00:06:14,330 --> 00:06:16,637
non-reactionary people,
this is a revolutionary thing.
108
00:06:16,767 --> 00:06:18,203
And it's probably
going to require
109
00:06:18,334 --> 00:06:19,727
a whole lot of bloodshed.
110
00:06:21,903 --> 00:06:23,992
[woman]: Why has the FBI
targeted you?
111
00:06:24,122 --> 00:06:25,863
- They have,
by their own admission,
112
00:06:25,994 --> 00:06:28,518
been surveilling me
since I was 15 years old.
113
00:06:28,649 --> 00:06:30,302
That was in the
search warrant they used
114
00:06:30,433 --> 00:06:31,913
to kick in my door in 2010.
115
00:06:32,043 --> 00:06:33,654
[woman]: And why?
116
00:06:33,784 --> 00:06:36,918
- They wanted me to it inform
on hackers on the Internet.
117
00:06:37,048 --> 00:06:40,530
They've tried to get me
to do that many times.
118
00:06:42,314 --> 00:06:45,492
- There is a congruence
between whistleblowing
119
00:06:45,622 --> 00:06:47,755
and hacktivism
and hacktivists.
120
00:06:52,324 --> 00:06:56,416
The similarity is speaking
truth to and of power,
121
00:06:56,546 --> 00:06:59,419
revealing the power structure,
whether it's corporate,
122
00:06:59,549 --> 00:07:01,116
whether it's government,
or both.
123
00:07:02,639 --> 00:07:05,120
I was a senior executive
at the National Security Agency.
124
00:07:05,250 --> 00:07:07,992
And I served there for
about six and a half years.
125
00:07:08,123 --> 00:07:09,907
I blew the whistle on the
secret surveillance programs
126
00:07:10,038 --> 00:07:13,389
called Stellar Wind, which were
the foundational surveillance
127
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,784
programs that ultimately
Edward Snowden, 12 years later,
128
00:07:16,914 --> 00:07:18,960
is now disclosing through
reporters and journalists.
129
00:07:19,090 --> 00:07:21,092
The government went
ahead and prosecuted me
130
00:07:21,223 --> 00:07:22,311
under the Espionage Act.
131
00:07:23,704 --> 00:07:25,575
I faced... It was
a 10 felony count indictment.
132
00:07:25,706 --> 00:07:27,882
I faced 35 years in prison.
133
00:07:39,981 --> 00:07:44,202
- Hackers are
important in the sense
134
00:07:44,333 --> 00:07:46,335
that they have the
capacity to expose
135
00:07:46,466 --> 00:07:48,511
the secret or the inner
workings of the state,
136
00:07:48,642 --> 00:07:51,122
which is why they are
terrified of hackers,
137
00:07:51,253 --> 00:07:54,778
and they are going after them
with phenomenal vengeance.
138
00:08:01,263 --> 00:08:03,831
- We are looking
at increased transparency.
139
00:08:03,961 --> 00:08:05,223
- Unprecedented transparency.
140
00:08:12,187 --> 00:08:14,015
[rock music]
141
00:08:45,263 --> 00:08:47,048
- He called the former head
of the NSA
142
00:08:47,178 --> 00:08:49,833
at home on a weekly basis
for a couple of months,
143
00:08:49,964 --> 00:08:51,922
trying to get him
to talk to him.
144
00:08:52,053 --> 00:08:53,837
- Barrett was speaking
in that language
145
00:08:53,968 --> 00:08:56,797
of real adversarial journalism,
that the purpose of journalism
146
00:08:56,927 --> 00:09:00,235
is not to please those in power
but to report the truth,
147
00:09:00,365 --> 00:09:02,324
even when it makes
those in power uncomfortable
148
00:09:02,454 --> 00:09:04,152
or reflects poorly on them.
149
00:09:17,469 --> 00:09:20,168
- 29 years old,
a cocky college dropout,
150
00:09:20,298 --> 00:09:22,126
a self-described anarchist,
151
00:09:22,257 --> 00:09:24,520
Brown proclaims
he is policing wrongdoing.
152
00:09:24,651 --> 00:09:28,437
- He was brash, he was cocky,
he was arrogant.
153
00:09:28,568 --> 00:09:30,700
- He was fucking
full of himself.
154
00:09:30,831 --> 00:09:32,180
He's awfully narcissistic.
155
00:09:32,310 --> 00:09:35,096
- He held court, so to speak,
from his bathtub.
156
00:09:35,226 --> 00:09:36,880
- Fucking around on Tinychat.
157
00:09:56,596 --> 00:09:58,075
- The take of NBC brass
158
00:09:58,206 --> 00:10:01,905
was Barrett was not
a very appealing character.
159
00:10:02,036 --> 00:10:06,040
He was not somebody
that they wanted
160
00:10:06,170 --> 00:10:11,132
to tout as
in any way heroic
161
00:10:11,262 --> 00:10:13,351
or doing
an admirable thing.
162
00:10:13,482 --> 00:10:15,310
- Barrett was
somebody who was very open
163
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,226
about his own struggles
with substance abuse.
164
00:10:18,356 --> 00:10:21,838
- He was on a maintenance drug,
like a methadone.
165
00:10:21,969 --> 00:10:23,405
He was on Suboxone.
166
00:10:23,535 --> 00:10:27,801
At least he was trying
to stay off hard drugs,
167
00:10:27,931 --> 00:10:29,237
to be on at least a medicine.
168
00:10:35,547 --> 00:10:39,073
[man]: Who are the members
of Anonymous? Who are they?
169
00:10:39,203 --> 00:10:41,162
- They're everyone.
I mean, you'd be amazed.
170
00:10:41,292 --> 00:10:42,642
There's obviously
a lot of people
171
00:10:42,772 --> 00:10:44,469
who are hackers
who just working in IT.
172
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,341
They work for major

[man]: What is Anonymous?
176
00:10:58,527 --> 00:11:00,311
[Anonymous]: It's basically
the power
177
00:11:00,442 --> 00:11:02,923
of an absolutely massive group
of people coming together.
178
00:11:03,053 --> 00:11:05,621

are your brothers and sisters,

your parents and your friends.
180
00:11:08,711 --> 00:11:10,147
Anonymous is you.

[various foreign languages]
182
00:11:21,028 --> 00:11:24,553
[Anonymous]: Anonymous cannot
and will not stand idly while
183
00:11:24,684 --> 00:11:26,816
people are being denied
their basic rights
184
00:11:26,947 --> 00:11:28,905
and human liberties.
185
00:11:29,036 --> 00:11:30,298
[computer voice]:
Understand that something
186
00:11:30,428 --> 00:11:32,474
is horribly wrong
with this world.

[explosion]
190
00:11:41,048 --> 00:11:42,310
The Tunisian government
191
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,095
has made itself
an enemy of Anonymous.
192
00:11:45,226 --> 00:11:48,664
The Egyptian government has
revealed itself to be criminal.
193
00:11:48,795 --> 00:11:51,449
For the good of mankind
and for our own enjoyment.
194
00:11:51,580 --> 00:11:55,062
- To end the corruption,
we must expose it.

196
00:11:56,628 --> 00:11:58,674
for a corrupt company,
leak the data.
197
00:11:58,805 --> 00:12:02,547
If you are working for a corrupt
government, leak the documents.
198
00:12:02,678 --> 00:12:05,202
- Think for yourself.
Question authority.

00:12:05,333 --> 00:12:07,030
[computer voice]:
Join us in this battle
200
00:12:07,161 --> 00:12:09,598
for freedom of

00:12:12,427 --> 00:12:13,515
Anonymous is you.
203
00:12:13,645 --> 00:12:15,299
And you are Anonymous.
204
00:12:15,430 --> 00:12:17,388
You are fighting for
yourself, the web,
205
00:12:17,519 --> 00:12:19,869
and for the next step
in evolution.
206
00:12:23,264 --> 00:12:25,005
- It's a very interesting
relationship
207
00:12:25,135 --> 00:12:26,528
Barrett has with Anonymous.
208
00:12:27,834 --> 00:12:31,272
Barrett's Anonymous.
He's their spokesperson.
209
00:12:31,402 --> 00:12:33,883
Barrett's not Anonymous.
He's not their spokesperson.
210
00:12:34,014 --> 00:12:35,493
Is Barrett really Anonymous?
211
00:12:35,624 --> 00:12:37,539
Because he doesn't hack,
and he doesn't really
212
00:12:37,669 --> 00:12:39,323
have computer skills.
213
00:12:39,454 --> 00:12:41,935
Well, does he have
a Guy Fawkes mask?
214
00:12:44,502 --> 00:12:48,332
- He was fulfilling a very
valuable and important
215
00:12:48,463 --> 00:12:49,812
function, which was
to give Anonymous
216
00:12:49,943 --> 00:12:51,379
the legitimacy it needed.
217
00:12:51,509 --> 00:12:54,121
He was the person who was
willing to go on record.
218
00:12:54,251 --> 00:12:55,992
- It's an open brand.
219
00:12:56,123 --> 00:12:58,865
Like, anyone can sort of label
what they're doing Anonymous.
220
00:12:58,995 --> 00:13:02,172
If you're doing something
that people don't approve of,
221
00:13:02,303 --> 00:13:04,218
then Anonymous will
turn in on itself
222
00:13:04,348 --> 00:13:07,264
and sort of eliminate that.
223
00:13:07,395 --> 00:13:09,484
Like, whatever it is
that doesn't fit in
224
00:13:09,614 --> 00:13:14,358
with the truth-seeking,
justice-seeking ideology.
225
00:13:14,489 --> 00:13:18,014
- Are you not worried that
even an informal involvement
226
00:13:18,145 --> 00:13:21,539
with Anonymous is going
to end up with you targeted,
227
00:13:21,670 --> 00:13:23,498
with you potentially
going to jail for this?
228
00:13:30,157 --> 00:13:34,683
- He was interacting
with other hackers.
229
00:13:34,814 --> 00:13:39,470
A couple times, he wanted to
make the point that he was not
230
00:13:39,601 --> 00:13:43,474
a hacker, that he was
of the community.
231
00:13:45,781 --> 00:13:48,218
- "Anonymous members try to hack
into people's personal accounts
232
00:13:48,349 --> 00:13:49,567
and attempt to expose
personal information."
233
00:13:53,528 --> 00:13:56,096
And if we did,
we wouldn't go around
234
00:13:56,226 --> 00:13:57,401
bragging about it
beforehand.
235
00:13:57,532 --> 00:13:59,664
We would wait
until we were done.
236
00:13:59,795 --> 00:14:04,626
This article is also poorly
written, and I object to that.
237
00:14:04,756 --> 00:14:08,456
- He wasn't able to just
kinda do anything cleanly
238
00:14:08,586 --> 00:14:11,328
without people giving
him a hard time about it.
239
00:14:11,459 --> 00:14:13,113
- My actual title
is Cobra Commander.
240
00:14:13,243 --> 00:14:15,811
Hiss, hiss.
241
00:14:15,942 --> 00:14:19,554
Hiss. So that's how I need to be
acknowledged, I think, further.
242
00:14:19,684 --> 00:14:21,425
I also go by faggot now.
243
00:14:21,556 --> 00:14:25,038
- These use that
non-pejorative fag.
244
00:14:31,174 --> 00:14:36,266
He's an ego-fag and a moral-fag
and a leader-fag and just about
245
00:14:36,397 --> 00:14:40,618
everything but a fag-fag,
as you know,
246
00:14:40,749 --> 00:14:43,621
leave it to the Internet
to have to repeat themselves.
247
00:14:43,752 --> 00:14:45,362
- What happened today
is certainly illegal.
248
00:14:45,493 --> 00:14:47,625
Why are you willing
to show your face?
249
00:14:52,369 --> 00:14:55,416
- Barrett being a named
person was his own doing.
250
00:14:55,546 --> 00:14:56,896
He did not show up as Anonymous.
251
00:14:57,026 --> 00:14:58,985
He showed up as Barrett Brown.
252
00:14:59,115 --> 00:15:02,423
- There's a new world
being born here.
253
00:15:02,553 --> 00:15:04,991
At least, that's the
perspective of the people in it.
254
00:15:05,121 --> 00:15:10,213
And I think Barrett really
reflected that and gave voice
255
00:15:10,344 --> 00:15:14,609
to this emerging world view.
256
00:15:14,739 --> 00:15:16,916
Whether it's valid or not
is another question.
257
00:15:29,319 --> 00:15:31,539
[Anonymous]: And we do not...
258
00:15:41,549 --> 00:15:42,550
Forget.

[hip-hop music]
260
00:15:51,472 --> 00:15:53,648
- Sabu spoke about
things in terms of this
261
00:15:53,778 --> 00:15:55,824
being a movement for
revolution, and everybody
262
00:15:55,955 --> 00:15:57,608
was his comrade or his brother.
263
00:15:57,739 --> 00:16:00,263
- He had kind of built
himself up within Anonymous
264
00:16:00,394 --> 00:16:03,527
and had this
reputation of a... like,
265
00:16:03,658 --> 00:16:05,660
doesn't give a fuck
freedom fighter.
266
00:16:05,790 --> 00:16:07,531
- There's de facto leadership,
de facto organizer.
267
00:16:07,662 --> 00:16:09,794
Someone had to have the idea
and start bringing people in.
268
00:16:09,925 --> 00:16:12,406
So for a little while, they're
going to listen to this guy.
269
00:16:12,536 --> 00:16:14,364
They're going to say,
what are we doing here?
270
00:16:14,495 --> 00:16:15,670
Why are we doing it?
271
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:17,411
- There are two types
of hackers.
272
00:16:17,541 --> 00:16:19,761
There's a ghost hacker,
who constantly changes
273
00:16:19,891 --> 00:16:22,285
his identity,
so nobody knows who he is
274
00:16:22,416 --> 00:16:24,809
or even how to really
get ahold of him.
275
00:16:24,940 --> 00:16:28,378
And then there are people
with permanent fixed identities.
276
00:16:37,039 --> 00:16:39,346
- Sabu had a permanent identity.
277
00:16:39,476 --> 00:16:44,133
He made it pretty clear what his
philosophy, his politics were.
278
00:16:44,264 --> 00:16:46,744
- I find him to be
incredibly annoying.
279
00:16:46,875 --> 00:16:49,747
He uses words like
what's up, niggy.
280
00:16:49,878 --> 00:16:54,230
And like, he's a very, like...
To me,
281
00:16:54,361 --> 00:16:56,058
I'm annoyed
by everything he says.
282
00:16:56,189 --> 00:16:59,409
Like I don't like his terms
and the way he talks.
283
00:16:59,540 --> 00:17:03,892
- He was the king of
the hacking world,
284
00:17:04,023 --> 00:17:06,242
doing it like a "sir," in fact.
285

[Anonymous]: Friends around the
globe, we are Lulz Security.

00:17:13,771 --> 00:17:15,121
- That's unexpected.
287
00:17:15,251 --> 00:17:17,210
- LulzSec came from
Anonymous,
288
00:17:17,340 --> 00:17:20,952
and they enjoyed
what each other did.
289
00:17:21,083 --> 00:17:24,304

at security... LulzSec.

[Anonymous]: Greetings

291
00:17:39,014 --> 00:17:40,842
For the past decade,
the government
292
00:17:40,972 --> 00:17:43,497
has tried to take control
of our Internet ocean.
293
00:17:44,976 --> 00:17:48,328
- The Lulz Boat was just
sailing the infinite seas
294
00:17:48,458 --> 00:17:52,636
of hacking excellence, hacking
the shit out of everybody.

is everything all right?

Are you dead?
298
00:18:20,882 --> 00:18:22,884
Are you OK?
299
00:18:23,014 --> 00:18:24,973
Remember you tweeted my
fucking phone number, said,
300
00:18:25,104 --> 00:18:27,106
512-560-26... Here's the leader
of the LulzSec.
301
00:18:27,236 --> 00:18:29,369
Call him now. You threw it
on the fucking LulzSec Twitter?
302
00:18:29,499 --> 00:18:31,153
[computer voice]: Barrett Brown
is the leader of LulzSec!
303
00:18:31,284 --> 00:18:32,459
Give him a call now!
304
00:18:32,589 --> 00:18:34,287
[Barrett]: I got 200 calls--
305
00:18:38,378 --> 00:18:39,553
- Hurry up.
306
00:18:40,989 --> 00:18:42,251
Get the sign.
307
00:18:45,124 --> 00:18:46,125
Do you have it?
308
00:18:50,564 --> 00:18:53,044
[gasp]
Oh, my god.
309
00:18:53,175 --> 00:18:55,308
Oh my god.
You did it.
310
00:18:56,439 --> 00:18:57,919
Oh my god.
311
00:18:58,049 --> 00:18:59,573
Oh my...
You did it, man.
312
00:19:00,530 --> 00:19:02,663
No, I'm watching it.
I'm standing here watching it.
313
00:19:02,793 --> 00:19:04,752
You did it. It's working.
It's totally working.
314
00:19:04,882 --> 00:19:07,668
- If I was working
in a cubicle, I'd be like,
315
00:19:07,798 --> 00:19:09,713
oh, what are those
LulzSec guys doing today?
316
00:19:09,844 --> 00:19:12,325
[man]: You know those
God hates fags morons
317
00:19:12,455 --> 00:19:13,891
that protest soldiers' funerals
318
00:19:14,022 --> 00:19:15,632
and stomp
on American flags because
319
00:19:15,763 --> 00:19:17,243
they've got a problem
with gay people?
320
00:19:17,373 --> 00:19:18,853
- God hates fags.
321
00:19:18,983 --> 00:19:20,855
What part of that don't
you understand, girl?
322
00:19:20,985 --> 00:19:22,726
- I don't fucking understand
why God hates fags.
323
00:19:22,857 --> 00:19:24,163
- Because he can.
324
00:19:24,293 --> 00:19:25,599
[man]: We can sometimes
take over the websites
325
00:19:25,729 --> 00:19:28,254
themselves, put messages up,
as we did today with Westboro.
326
00:19:29,385 --> 00:19:31,474
- That's unexpected.
[man]: If you check
327
00:19:31,605 --> 00:19:33,433
downloads.westborobaptistchurch
right now,
328
00:19:33,563 --> 00:19:35,435
you'll see a nice
message from Anonymous.
329
00:19:35,565 --> 00:19:37,654
- The hacks got bigger
and bigger and bigger.
330
00:19:37,785 --> 00:19:40,527
Pull up the screen,
and they're like,
331
00:19:40,657 --> 00:19:43,269
Tango Down, cia.gov
for the Lulz.
332
00:19:50,189 --> 00:19:52,016
I'm like, oh shit.
333
00:19:52,147 --> 00:19:56,369
- What a hacktivist can do and
does all the time is embarrass
334
00:19:56,499 --> 00:19:59,198
the power elite in a way that
boots on the ground can't.
335
00:20:03,027 --> 00:20:05,552
So you can go and sit in
the front of a building,
336
00:20:05,682 --> 00:20:07,206
you can circle the Pentagon...
337
00:20:08,729 --> 00:20:11,035
That doesn't really
embarrass anyone.
338
00:20:11,166 --> 00:20:14,778
If you hack the
website of the CIA,
339
00:20:14,909 --> 00:20:18,129
you've embarrassed the power
structure of the nation state.
340
00:20:18,260 --> 00:20:20,001
You've embarrassed the Pentagon.
341
00:20:20,131 --> 00:20:22,525
You've embarrassed the
United States of America.
342
00:20:22,656 --> 00:20:27,748
You've embarrassed
it by puncturing
343
00:20:27,878 --> 00:20:29,924
the illusion of their power.
344
00:20:30,054 --> 00:20:32,187
- You made us look bad.
345
00:20:32,318 --> 00:20:35,190
You taunted us.
We don't take to kindly to that.
346
00:20:35,321 --> 00:20:36,670
You embarrassed me.
347
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:41,762
So when someone comes
along like a hacker
348
00:20:41,892 --> 00:20:46,375
and exposes the dark underbelly
of this beast.
349
00:20:47,768 --> 00:20:50,771
That beast, it's not just
tickling the beast.
350
00:20:50,901 --> 00:20:54,122
They're going to take
some swipes at you.
351
00:20:54,253 --> 00:20:55,950
[man]: One of the most
notorious hacking groups
352
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,648
of all time has had
its head chopped off.
353
00:20:58,779 --> 00:21:00,215
[woman]: Return
to the government crackdown
354
00:21:00,346 --> 00:21:01,651
on a loose, large network
355
00:21:01,782 --> 00:21:03,305
of politically-inspired
hacktivists.
356
00:21:03,436 --> 00:21:05,525
[woman]: A 19-year-old
who goes by the nickname
357
00:21:05,655 --> 00:21:09,006
Topiari was arrested
in Scotland's Shetland Islands.
358
00:21:13,446 --> 00:21:18,712
- The FBI will pull in
some 17, 20-year-old kid
359
00:21:18,842 --> 00:21:22,019
and threaten them
with 100 years in prison
360
00:21:22,150 --> 00:21:24,631
just to get them
to inform on people.
361
00:21:24,761 --> 00:21:28,765
There were at least
three snitches
362
00:21:28,896 --> 00:21:32,682
involved in the
takedown of LulzSec.
363
00:21:32,813 --> 00:21:35,294
This was a domino effect.
364
00:21:35,424 --> 00:21:41,082
People were taken into custody
that folded on their comrades.
365
00:22:07,151 --> 00:22:11,242
- On September 17, 2011,
Sabu comes back on Twitter
366
00:22:11,373 --> 00:22:13,157
from his, like,
month-long absence.
367
00:22:13,288 --> 00:22:15,421
And he's like,
rise up, my fellas.
368
00:22:15,551 --> 00:22:18,859
The next thing I know, it's
like, 18 chat rooms are linked
369
00:22:18,989 --> 00:22:20,426
together,
and everybody's working
370
00:22:20,556 --> 00:22:22,210
in this Occupy
Wall Street chan.
371
00:22:22,341 --> 00:22:25,953
And like, holy shit.
All right, so let's get to work.
372
00:22:30,610 --> 00:22:32,612
[indistinct chatter]
373
00:22:40,924 --> 00:22:43,492
- I grew up in a normal family.
I'm from Arkansas.
374
00:22:43,623 --> 00:22:44,972
I'm a high school dropout.
375
00:22:45,102 --> 00:22:47,801
There's nothing particularly
special about me.
376
00:22:47,931 --> 00:22:51,674
And there's nothing particularly
special about any of us.
377
00:22:51,805 --> 00:22:53,110
But together we can
form a movement.
378
00:22:53,241 --> 00:22:54,721
I am the 99%.
379
00:23:12,913 --> 00:23:15,002
- Get off the street,
get onto the sidewalk.
380
00:23:20,311 --> 00:23:22,401
[crowd shouting]
381
00:23:26,666 --> 00:23:30,234
- The cops tricked us into
going down a one-way street.
382
00:23:30,365 --> 00:23:32,846
And then they cuddled us because
we were on a one-way street.
383
00:23:32,976 --> 00:23:34,369
They were really mean
and kinda violent.
384
00:23:34,500 --> 00:23:36,023
[woman]: Were you wearing
your Anonymous mask
385
00:23:36,153 --> 00:23:37,633
when you got arrested?
- I was.
386
00:23:37,764 --> 00:23:40,070
- I was too. I don't want
to hide my face,
387
00:23:40,201 --> 00:23:42,246
but sometimes I feel
like I have to.
388
00:23:43,683 --> 00:23:45,946
[woman]: People are dismissing
you guys as anarchists.
389
00:23:50,994 --> 00:23:52,431
- Anarchy.
390
00:23:52,561 --> 00:23:54,563
Thousands of Occupy protesters
flooded the streets.
391
00:23:54,694 --> 00:23:56,130
[man]: The sinister mask,
392
00:23:56,260 --> 00:23:58,567
fashion on Guy Fawkes,
the revolutionary who
393
00:23:58,698 --> 00:24:01,091
attempted to blow up the British
parliament buildings more
394
00:24:01,222 --> 00:24:04,443
than 400 years ago, has
become a worldwide symbol
395
00:24:04,573 --> 00:24:05,748
of anarchy and revolution.
396
00:24:05,879 --> 00:24:07,576
[Bill O'Reilly]:
They are terrorists.
397
00:24:07,707 --> 00:24:09,970
- The other side, the rich
motherfuckers portraying us
398
00:24:10,100 --> 00:24:12,581
all as destructive, mindless
anarchists and so forth,
399
00:24:12,712 --> 00:24:14,409
have really exposed
how reactionary
400
00:24:14,540 --> 00:24:17,978
and how inherently violent
the police state really is.
401
00:24:20,633 --> 00:24:23,505
- You need to leave
or you will be arrested!
402
00:24:23,636 --> 00:24:26,377
[indistinct shouting]
403
00:24:26,508 --> 00:24:29,816
- I am a journalist!
I am also a protester.
404
00:24:29,946 --> 00:24:32,209
- This guy was just arrested,
didn't do anything illegal.
405
00:24:32,340 --> 00:24:34,734
This guy was just
standing around too.
406
00:24:40,609 --> 00:24:42,959
[woman shouting]
407
00:24:49,923 --> 00:24:52,839
- Leave them the fuck alone,
you assholes!
408
00:24:57,844 --> 00:25:00,455
[woman screaming]
409
00:25:00,586 --> 00:25:03,240
[woman]: John! John!
410
00:25:04,285 --> 00:25:06,113
- We can't see the story
from over here.
411
00:25:07,549 --> 00:25:08,942
Remember the press?
How are we supposed
412
00:25:09,072 --> 00:25:11,553
to do our job if you kick us
out of the park?
413
00:25:26,655 --> 00:25:29,005
- The Jews fooled the Germans,
because they got to Germany,
414
00:25:29,136 --> 00:25:31,573
and they were very
serious, rigid people.
415
00:25:31,704 --> 00:25:34,445
And the Germans were like,
oh, they're just like us.
416
00:25:34,576 --> 00:25:37,536
And so they got this
great success in Germany.
417
00:25:37,666 --> 00:25:39,538
And then the
Germans figured out,
418
00:25:39,668 --> 00:25:40,930
oh, they took over
our banks,
419
00:25:41,061 --> 00:25:42,628
and it's hyper-inflated
our currency.
420
00:25:42,758 --> 00:25:44,630
Fuck these people.
421
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,894
And perhaps the punishment was
disproportionate to the crime.
422
00:25:48,024 --> 00:25:49,330
- Maybe.
423
00:25:49,460 --> 00:25:51,288
- But the Jews were the
criminal people in Germany,
424
00:25:51,419 --> 00:25:53,813
and they did have
something coming to them.
425
00:25:53,943 --> 00:25:55,858
Just a little.
426
00:25:55,989 --> 00:25:57,904
- Oh my god.
- Perhaps not the Holocaust.
427
00:25:58,034 --> 00:26:00,733
- I certainly don't blame
you for walking away.
428
00:26:00,863 --> 00:26:03,126
It's a good thing
you're a troll.
429
00:26:03,257 --> 00:26:05,215
You can always pull
that kind of troll card.
430
00:26:08,610 --> 00:26:13,441
- He's obviously a troll
and by all accounts
431
00:26:13,572 --> 00:26:18,402
an asshole and highly
offensive and of dubious
432
00:26:18,533 --> 00:26:21,449
moral fiber and
dubious moral standing.
433
00:26:21,580 --> 00:26:22,972
- He is an Internet troll.
434
00:26:23,103 --> 00:26:25,671
And for the uninitiated,
that's someone
435
00:26:25,801 --> 00:26:28,499
who just likes to
mess with people
436
00:26:28,630 --> 00:26:30,676
for the sake of
messing with people.
437
00:26:30,806 --> 00:26:34,462
- Trolling is a rhetorical style
that exposes somebody else's
438
00:26:34,593 --> 00:26:37,204
personality flaws by eliciting
a reaction from them
439
00:26:37,334 --> 00:26:39,902
that shows the true nature
of their character.
440
00:26:40,033 --> 00:26:42,601
- He pinpoints your
vulnerability,
441
00:26:42,731 --> 00:26:45,255
and he immediately
starts to exploit it.
442
00:26:45,386 --> 00:26:48,476
But for higher cause, to show
that you're hypocritical,
443
00:26:48,607 --> 00:26:51,871
to show that you have misogyny,
to show that you yourself
444
00:26:52,001 --> 00:26:54,395
are racist while you're yelling
at him for being racist.
445
00:26:54,525 --> 00:26:56,658
- Trolling is in the
Socratic tradition
446
00:26:56,789 --> 00:26:59,356
of questioning everything
and driving people nuts
447
00:26:59,487 --> 00:27:02,446
until they question
their assumptions.
448
00:27:02,577 --> 00:27:05,711
And that's basically what a
good troll will aspire to do.
449
00:27:05,841 --> 00:27:09,410
- If I were to name parties
that I think were great trolls,
450
00:27:09,540 --> 00:27:12,543
I'd say Giordano Bruno,
Zeno of Elea,
451
00:27:12,674 --> 00:27:16,069
Jesus Christ, Joseph Smith,
Brigham Young,
452
00:27:16,199 --> 00:27:18,158
I'd definitely name
some parties who used
453
00:27:18,288 --> 00:27:20,639
a very combative
style of rhetoric
454
00:27:20,769 --> 00:27:22,728
but probably nobody alive.
455
00:27:22,858 --> 00:27:25,295
- You meet weev in person, he's
the nicest guy in the world.
456
00:27:25,426 --> 00:27:26,949
He'll hold
the door open for you.
457
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:28,995
He'll grab you a soda
if you ask him.
458
00:27:29,125 --> 00:27:31,127
If you meet him online,
he'll spew a whole bunch
459
00:27:31,258 --> 00:27:32,781
of anti-Semitic crap
and be really mean.
460
00:27:32,912 --> 00:27:36,524
- I like to think of trolling
as a way of expressing
461
00:27:36,655 --> 00:27:38,308
working-class discontent.
462
00:27:38,439 --> 00:27:42,269
I recall recently that Gina
Rinehart called the working
463
00:27:42,399 --> 00:27:46,490
class people of Australia
lazy and without self-control.
464
00:27:46,621 --> 00:27:49,189
Trolling is the
right of said people
465
00:27:49,319 --> 00:27:52,453
to respond by telling her
to perhaps stop eating
466
00:27:52,583 --> 00:27:54,020
and get on a treadmill.
467
00:27:54,150 --> 00:27:57,110
- You say that trolling is
about creating something
468
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:01,027
that expresses the true
nature of the character.
469
00:28:01,157 --> 00:28:04,595
I wonder how what you
said about Gina Rinehart
470
00:28:04,726 --> 00:28:06,336
exposes the true nature
of the character,
471
00:28:06,467 --> 00:28:08,338
if you're just talking
about her weight.
472
00:28:08,469 --> 00:28:11,777
- When she has inherited wealth
from her father, a bunch
473
00:28:11,907 --> 00:28:15,041
of mines, and she runs around
calling the people that
474
00:28:15,171 --> 00:28:19,523
pull the minerals out of the
ground for her lazy and stupid,
475
00:28:19,654 --> 00:28:21,003
it's disgusting.
476
00:28:21,134 --> 00:28:23,397
It's a level of
decadence and gluttony
477
00:28:23,527 --> 00:28:26,052
that I think speaks not
only through her weight
478
00:28:26,182 --> 00:28:27,401
but her general demeanor.
479
00:28:27,531 --> 00:28:29,795
She's a loud-mouth,
obnoxious idiot.
480
00:28:29,925 --> 00:28:31,710
[host laughing]
481
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,451
I'm not a bigot, except by the
original definition of bigot,
482
00:28:34,582 --> 00:28:37,454
in that I air my opinion very
loudly without the concern
483
00:28:37,585 --> 00:28:39,456
for others' fucking
cries of help about,
484
00:28:39,587 --> 00:28:42,068
oh, he's saying something
that we don't like to hear.
485
00:28:42,198 --> 00:28:45,288
That's actually the initial
definition of bigot,
486
00:28:45,419 --> 00:28:46,550
before it was associated
with a racist,
487
00:28:46,681 --> 00:28:49,205
somebody who loudly airs
their opinion.
488
00:28:49,336 --> 00:28:52,121
And it says something
stark now that bigot
489
00:28:52,252 --> 00:28:53,819
is a pejorative term.
490
00:28:53,949 --> 00:28:56,430
There's a quote from Voltaire.
491
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:58,867
It says, to find
out who rules you,
492
00:28:58,998 --> 00:29:01,304
find the people you
may not criticize.
493
00:29:01,435 --> 00:29:03,306
Why do we all have to
agree with each other?
494
00:29:03,437 --> 00:29:05,787
That's what freedom is about.
It's...
495
00:29:05,918 --> 00:29:08,007
I can call you a
disgusting kike,
496
00:29:08,137 --> 00:29:11,314
and we can still live in
the fucking same society.
497
00:29:11,445 --> 00:29:14,230
- He actually is trying to shove
this down everyone's throat.
498
00:29:14,361 --> 00:29:17,930
Freedom of speech at all costs,
as hardcore as I can make it.
499
00:29:18,060 --> 00:29:20,193
- He's a crazy fucker.
500
00:29:20,323 --> 00:29:22,935
But he's...
501
00:29:24,632 --> 00:29:27,156
our crazy fucker, I think.
502
00:29:27,287 --> 00:29:29,158
- What was it,
the Gay Nigger Society?
503
00:29:29,289 --> 00:29:31,857
Oh, crap. I can't say that
on camera, can I?
504
00:29:31,987 --> 00:29:33,641
I should probably, probably
not put that on camera.
505
00:29:33,772 --> 00:29:37,950
- The Gay Nigger Association
has been around,
506
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,822
I think, probably since 2000.
507
00:29:40,953 --> 00:29:43,259
It is a very old
troll organization.
508
00:29:43,390 --> 00:29:45,784
I was elected president
of it in 2010.
509
00:29:45,914 --> 00:29:47,481
[pop music]
510
00:29:59,406 --> 00:30:01,495
[laughing]
511
00:30:15,683 --> 00:30:18,947
[woman]: The name is based
on a Danish short film called
512
00:30:19,078 --> 00:30:20,819

Tons of media

If people were tweeting

be like, all right,

Goatse Security, was it a
troll or was it a hack?

But I mean, the

And they're googling
Goatse,

- The collusion in part
with press, mainstream press,
685
00:40:31,516 --> 00:40:34,780
was, we're just going to
sort of look the other way.
686
00:40:34,910 --> 00:40:38,261
We're not going to
actually use the powers
687
00:40:38,392 --> 00:40:39,611
we have available to us.
688
00:40:39,741 --> 00:40:41,439
- He was building
up this database
689
00:40:41,569 --> 00:40:44,616
of who was doing what with who,
what intelligence firms are
690
00:40:44,746 --> 00:40:47,662
working for what government
entities, what outside ones are
691
00:40:47,793 --> 00:40:49,316
working together,
what contracts have they
692
00:40:49,447 --> 00:40:51,492
landed that we don't like,
all that type of stuff,
693
00:40:51,623 --> 00:40:53,668
stuff they don't want
the public to know about.
694
00:41:01,720 --> 00:41:06,333
- There were these hacks
going on that were expected,
695
00:41:06,464 --> 00:41:08,030
these data dumps. Um...
696
00:41:09,249 --> 00:41:12,818
Shit's about to start getting
crazy, if you know what I mean.
697
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,089
- Going through
thousands of emails
698
00:41:23,219 --> 00:41:25,570
is kind of a huge undertaking.
It's a lot of reading.
699
00:41:25,700 --> 00:41:28,660
[woman]: Did you do that,
go through hundreds of emails?
700
00:41:30,313 --> 00:41:31,227
- Can I say that?
701
00:41:33,273 --> 00:41:35,057
- These people were
contributing to what
702
00:41:35,188 --> 00:41:37,538
they believed was a
journalistic project.
703
00:41:37,669 --> 00:41:40,410
They were contributing
anonymously,
704
00:41:40,541 --> 00:41:43,370
they thought, to help
the cause of journalism.
705
00:41:43,501 --> 00:41:46,199
Obviously Barrett was
onto something, otherwise
706
00:41:46,329 --> 00:41:48,070
there wouldn't have been
this type of reaction.
707
00:41:52,858 --> 00:41:55,121
- 41 months, three years
supervised release,
708
00:41:55,251 --> 00:41:57,210
one drug test within 15 days.
709
00:41:58,298 --> 00:42:01,519
Computer monitoring,
mental health evaluation,
710
00:42:01,649 --> 00:42:07,002
$73,000 restitution to US
Treasury to be given to AT&T.
711
00:42:07,133 --> 00:42:09,483
He reached for his phone.
He reached for something.
712
00:42:09,614 --> 00:42:11,267
They fucking tackled him,
handcuffed him,
713
00:42:11,398 --> 00:42:13,269
took him out for,
like, 15 minutes.
714
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:15,924
He came back not just in, like,
handcuffs but with the thing
715
00:42:16,055 --> 00:42:18,927
around his waist,
the big chain, laughing.
716
00:42:19,058 --> 00:42:21,147
He's seriously walking
around the courtroom,
717
00:42:21,277 --> 00:42:22,278
just going, like...
718
00:42:23,236 --> 00:42:25,151
Like that.
I gave him the thumbs up.
719
00:42:25,281 --> 00:42:27,283
- You guys fucking seeing this?
720
00:42:42,124 --> 00:42:44,300
- How dare you be skillful?
721
00:42:44,431 --> 00:42:47,042
How dare you utilize
your knowledge?
722
00:42:47,173 --> 00:42:48,827
- It's fucking absurd.
723
00:42:48,957 --> 00:42:51,177
- And of course it's AT&T's
fault. They are responsible.
724
00:42:51,307 --> 00:42:55,094
How can you say that the company
that designed the website
725
00:42:55,224 --> 00:42:58,053
is not responsible for
their security flaws?
726
00:42:58,184 --> 00:43:00,882
- So the federal prosecutor
said during weev's trial
727
00:43:01,013 --> 00:43:03,232
that just because he
has a special skill,
728
00:43:03,363 --> 00:43:04,756
he shouldn't have power
over other people.
729
00:43:04,886 --> 00:43:08,324
That's how they view it,
you know.
730
00:43:08,455 --> 00:43:10,718
And it's not incorrect
to say that people
731
00:43:10,849 --> 00:43:13,460
who understand
computers have power.
732
00:43:13,591 --> 00:43:16,202
It's just, I don't think
the answer is coming down
733
00:43:16,332 --> 00:43:18,813
on our prodigies
and our geniuses.
734
00:43:18,944 --> 00:43:21,076
I'll put it this way.
There was a time
735
00:43:21,207 --> 00:43:23,339
when you hacked a company,
and the company hired you.
736
00:43:23,470 --> 00:43:26,081
Now you hack a company,
they beat the shit out of you.
737
00:43:49,148 --> 00:43:51,324
- Hackers,
hacktivists in prison,
738
00:43:51,454 --> 00:43:53,456
by virutally pointing out
739
00:43:53,587 --> 00:43:55,937
weaknesses
in the very structures
740
00:43:56,068 --> 00:43:59,941
that we depend on
as a common good.
741
00:44:00,072 --> 00:44:01,726
When we weaken the
common good, for what?
742
00:44:01,856 --> 00:44:04,076
We're turning on ourselves.
743
00:44:04,206 --> 00:44:08,994
And any time a country
empire turns on itself
744
00:44:09,124 --> 00:44:14,303
and begins to find
threats from within, well,
745
00:44:14,434 --> 00:44:16,654
that should tell you
how far gone we are.
746
00:44:23,399 --> 00:44:25,184
[weev]: Howdy, Internet.
747
00:44:25,314 --> 00:44:28,535
My Internet blogging must
have pissed somebody off.
748
00:44:28,666 --> 00:44:31,930
They have cut off my
fucking TrulinX access
749
00:44:32,060 --> 00:44:36,717
because, of course, we live
in a country with a childishly
750
00:44:36,848 --> 00:44:39,938
authoritarian government
that can't handle anybody
751
00:44:40,068 --> 00:44:41,853
saying anything mean
about it on the Internet.
752
00:44:41,983 --> 00:44:43,768
I miss you. I really do.
753
00:44:43,898 --> 00:44:47,075
There are so many of you that
I can't... hopefully I see you
754
00:44:47,206 --> 00:44:48,555
in a couple of years.
755
00:44:48,686 --> 00:44:51,210
I wish I could call each
and every one of you.
756
00:44:53,778 --> 00:44:55,562
I'm still in prison.
757
00:44:55,693 --> 00:44:59,740
I've been denied access
to both sunlight and food.
758
00:44:59,871 --> 00:45:02,438
I can't tweet via the
normal means any longer,
759
00:45:02,569 --> 00:45:05,224
but I will still read
everybody's responses.
760
00:45:05,354 --> 00:45:07,879
They will be snail-mailed to me.
761
00:45:08,009 --> 00:45:10,533
Fucking barbarism!
[laughter]
762
00:45:10,664 --> 00:45:16,278
Keep up the good fight, and
make trouble while I'm gone.
763
00:45:16,409 --> 00:45:20,369
You guys gotta carry the
Internet-ruin torch, I suppose.
764
00:45:20,500 --> 00:45:22,720
- Oh, god.
765
00:45:22,850 --> 00:45:27,333
Weev... That was one of
his better communiques.
766
00:45:27,463 --> 00:45:29,335
- I was outside grabbing
a cup, and I get a call
767
00:45:29,465 --> 00:45:31,076
from an unavailable number.
768
00:45:31,206 --> 00:45:34,122
And it's like, do you want
to accept this toll-free call
769
00:45:34,253 --> 00:45:36,342
from Andrew,
from federal prison?
770
00:45:36,472 --> 00:45:37,473
[laughing]
771
00:45:37,604 --> 00:45:39,562
And I was like,
oh god, it's weev.
772
00:45:39,693 --> 00:45:41,564
I could barely make
out what he was saying.
773
00:45:41,695 --> 00:45:43,871
But he's like,
set up an Asterisk box
774
00:45:44,002 --> 00:45:45,568
so I can upload
things to SoundCloud.
775
00:45:45,699 --> 00:45:47,092
And I was like, OK, whatever.
776
00:45:53,141 --> 00:45:55,361
He had email access for a month.
777
00:45:55,491 --> 00:45:57,798
Then they took it away,
because they figured out
778
00:45:57,929 --> 00:46:00,627
that he was sending messages
to another person,
779
00:46:00,758 --> 00:46:03,108
who was tweeting them
out from his account.
780
00:46:03,238 --> 00:46:06,633
He and someone else had,
like, code words set up.
781
00:46:06,764 --> 00:46:11,943
So if I said, like, say this to
my mom, or something like that,
782
00:46:12,073 --> 00:46:14,467
then the next line
would be a tweet.
783
00:46:14,597 --> 00:46:17,078
They were trying
to shut him down,
784
00:46:17,209 --> 00:46:19,428
and we found a
way to subvert it.
785
00:46:19,559 --> 00:46:21,169
[hip-hop music]
786
00:46:28,829 --> 00:46:32,833
- The more that they try to make
this go away, the government,
787
00:46:32,964 --> 00:46:34,269
it keeps coming back.
788
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:36,663
And it'll bring more
attention on weev.
789
00:46:36,794 --> 00:46:39,927
- It took him a couple of years
to garner 5,000 followers.
790
00:46:40,058 --> 00:46:41,973
And then as soon
as he goes to jail,
791
00:46:42,103 --> 00:46:44,323
in a month,
he gets 5,000 more.
792
00:46:54,115 --> 00:46:56,291
It took them a
month to figure out
793
00:46:56,422 --> 00:46:57,902
that we were uploading
to SoundCloud,
794
00:46:58,032 --> 00:47:00,774
even though there was, like,
news articles about it.
795
00:47:00,905 --> 00:47:04,865
And just a few days ago,
we looked at the caller ID,
796
00:47:04,996 --> 00:47:06,606
because we had two
mysterious phone calls.
797
00:47:06,736 --> 00:47:10,088
One of them was from
US government, all capitals.
798
00:47:10,218 --> 00:47:13,874
And the other one was from
Federal Bureau of Prisons.
799
00:47:14,005 --> 00:47:16,224
Ever since then, we
haven't heard from him.
800
00:47:42,033 --> 00:47:44,209
[hip-hop music]
801
00:47:57,657 --> 00:48:00,616
- Out of kind of the
ashes of LulzSec,
802
00:48:00,747 --> 00:48:03,576
Sabu wants a new thing,
a new group,
803
00:48:03,706 --> 00:48:06,535
a new cause going forward.
And this becomes Antisec.
804
00:48:06,666 --> 00:48:10,626
- With the visuals
of machine guns,
805
00:48:10,757 --> 00:48:13,716
this was no longer
a laughing matter.
806
00:48:13,847 --> 00:48:16,458
And they were not
playing games anymore.
807
00:48:16,589 --> 00:48:20,114
- He was training people to
attack government websites
808
00:48:20,245 --> 00:48:22,290
and attack large
corporations and businesses.
809
00:48:34,999 --> 00:48:37,001
[man]: Greetings, pirates.
810
00:48:37,131 --> 00:48:40,918
And welcome to another exciting
Fuck FBI Friday release.
811
00:48:41,048 --> 00:48:42,920
[woman]: For Fuck FBI Friday,
812
00:48:43,050 --> 00:48:46,401
we are releasing one gigabyte
of private emails and documents.
813
00:48:46,532 --> 00:48:51,232
- It was asking for
trouble, and trouble
814
00:48:51,363 --> 00:48:54,279
came in a way
that... like, nobody
815
00:48:54,409 --> 00:48:56,934
could have even written this.
816
00:49:02,287 --> 00:49:04,898
- Antisec culminated
in Christmas of 2011
817
00:49:05,029 --> 00:49:06,813
with the Stratfor hack.
818
00:49:06,944 --> 00:49:09,729
- I remember, like, being home
with my family on Christmas,
819
00:49:09,859 --> 00:49:12,123
glued to my computer,
like, looking over, trying
820
00:49:12,253 --> 00:49:14,342
to interact with my family,
at the same time as,
821
00:49:14,473 --> 00:49:15,909
you know, the Stratfor
stuff's going on.
822
00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:18,303
And I guess there's
that glee that happens,
823
00:49:18,433 --> 00:49:19,608
the glee that happens
whenever
824
00:49:19,739 --> 00:49:21,480
like, oh, this happened,
this big hack.
825
00:49:21,610 --> 00:49:23,699
- And some people are just
hanging out, you know,
826
00:49:23,830 --> 00:49:28,487
because it's like, I'm a
devotee to train wrecks.
827
00:49:28,617 --> 00:49:31,185
And other people are, like,
seeking out knowledge.
828
00:49:34,145 --> 00:49:37,975
- Stratfor is a private
intelligence contractor.
829
00:49:38,105 --> 00:49:42,849
They act as an outsourced,
private version of the CIA.
830
00:49:42,980 --> 00:49:46,070
- The national security
journalist Joshua Foust,
831
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:49,029
or Foast or Fost
or Faust, maybe,
832
00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:53,120
um... he said that Stratfor's
no different
833
00:49:53,251 --> 00:49:54,904
than a private investigator.
834
00:49:55,035 --> 00:49:57,429
But PIs don't have
the sort of clientele
835
00:49:57,559 --> 00:50:00,910
that Stratfor had: Hunt Oil,
National Oilwell Varco, Emerson
836
00:50:01,041 --> 00:50:03,652
Electric, Dell Computers, and
Northrup Grumman, Lockheed
837
00:50:03,783 --> 00:50:05,393
Martin, Department
of Homeland Security,
838
00:50:05,524 --> 00:50:07,961
Defense Intelligence
Agency, US Marines.
839
00:50:08,092 --> 00:50:10,529
And they don't have
the sort of informants
840
00:50:10,659 --> 00:50:13,227
that Stratfor has: Israeli
Prime Minister Benjamin
841
00:50:13,358 --> 00:50:15,142
Netanyahu,
Mexican Diplomat Fernando
842
00:50:15,273 --> 00:50:18,406
de la Mora Salcedo, DEA pilot
and sometime supervisor
843
00:50:18,537 --> 00:50:20,539
William F. Dionne,
giving them information
844
00:50:20,669 --> 00:50:24,369
off of JWICS' top secret
classified computer network.
845
00:50:24,499 --> 00:50:27,459
So that's not the PI
that you would hire to see
846
00:50:27,589 --> 00:50:30,070
if your spouse is cheating
on you. That's Stratfor.
847
00:50:42,865 --> 00:50:44,780
- Cyber thieves made off
with the personal details
848
00:50:44,911 --> 00:50:46,391
of hundreds of thousands
of subscribers.
849
00:50:46,521 --> 00:50:48,480
- They work up to
find that they'd
850
00:50:48,610 --> 00:50:51,091
given an unexpected Christmas
present, the $50,000
851
00:50:51,222 --> 00:50:53,920
between them, to numerous

- To take an ex-FBI agent
and use their credit card
854
00:51:27,040 --> 00:51:29,521
to make a donation to the
Red Cross on Christmas Day,
855
00:51:29,651 --> 00:51:31,305
I guess that it's criminal.
856
00:51:31,436 --> 00:51:34,439
But it's also wonderful
in its own way.
857
00:51:34,569 --> 00:51:36,615
- The Stratfor hack,

858
00:51:36,745 --> 00:51:39,052
also contains
email conversations
859
00:51:39,183 --> 00:51:42,316
between Stratfor employees
and officials in government.

00:51:42,447 --> 00:51:43,839
- Every week a company
or an agency,
861
00:51:43,970 --> 00:51:45,885
is this going to get worse?
- I think so.
862
00:51:46,015 --> 00:51:51,717
- People broke into something
and, wow, criminals.
863
00:51:52,718 --> 00:51:53,893
Well, OK.
864
00:51:54,023 --> 00:51:56,548
Even if you want to
call them criminals,
865
00:51:56,678 --> 00:51:58,593
they're coming up with
this information that
866
00:51:58,724 --> 00:52:01,292

is what it calls
the Stratfor Leak,
870
00:52:07,820 --> 00:52:10,692
The Atlantic wrote an article
titled Stratfor is a joke,
871
00:52:10,823 --> 00:52:13,260
and so is WikiLeaks for
taking it seriously.
872
00:52:13,391 --> 00:52:15,480
And that was the
very day of the leak,
873
00:52:15,610 --> 00:52:18,004

read the 5 million emails

- As a former journalist,
a former investigative reporter
888
00:54:22,607 --> 00:54:26,219
for The New York Times,
I'm stunned
889

that the rest of my colleagues -
well, I mean, frankly

00:54:28,787 --> 00:54:30,745
I'm not that stunned -
are not here.

892
00:54:33,182 --> 00:54:35,489
a lot of people in this country
will find out about it
893
00:54:35,620 --> 00:54:37,143

doesn't cover it.

That's the way that
the media's set up right now.

- There's a lot of people
outside supporting him.

He's gotten a lot of letters.
So, you know...

Brown, and I've

been waiting for this
day for about six months.

In a way, I've been

since I was seven years old.
934
00:57:52,033 --> 00:57:54,862
On March 5,
935
00:57:54,993 --> 00:57:59,214
I received communication
from a certain individual saying
936
00:57:59,345 --> 00:58:02,696
that I was going to be raided
the next day at my home.
937
00:58:02,827 --> 00:58:04,437
- They go to his
house, his apartment.
938
00:58:04,568 --> 00:58:07,484
And he had spent the
night at his mom's house.
939
00:58:07,614 --> 00:58:09,007
- I go to my mom's house
940
00:58:09,137 --> 00:58:10,574
and sleep there sometimes.
We're very close.
941
00:58:10,704 --> 00:58:13,011
Next morning, I woke
up at 6:30 by my mom's.
942
00:58:13,141 --> 00:58:14,621
She's scared.
I go downstairs.
943
00:58:14,752 --> 00:58:18,930
There's two FBI agents.
One is named Robert Smith.
944
00:58:19,060 --> 00:58:22,324
He is a FBI cyber-crime fellow.
945
00:58:22,455 --> 00:58:24,457
They say, OK, we've raided
your house, your apartment.
946
00:58:24,588 --> 00:58:27,112
Do you have any laptops
here you'd like to give us?
947
00:58:29,114 --> 00:58:32,117
- So they get another warrant
for his mother's house
948
00:58:32,247 --> 00:58:34,772
and find the laptop.
949
00:58:35,729 --> 00:58:39,211
Then they charge his mother
with obstruction of justice.
950
00:58:40,865 --> 00:58:44,129
- When I was seven years old,
I first heard the term FBI.
951
00:58:44,259 --> 00:58:46,435
My parents were fighting a lot.
952
00:58:46,566 --> 00:58:48,176
And my dad would sometimes
953
00:58:48,307 --> 00:58:50,439
get angry and throw things
at my mom.
954
00:58:50,570 --> 00:58:52,485
And part of the
reason for that was
955
00:58:52,616 --> 00:58:54,487
because my dad was being
indicted by the FBI.
956
00:58:54,618 --> 00:58:57,359
I went from living in a
nice house in Highland Park,
957
00:58:57,490 --> 00:58:59,318
one of the nicest
communities in America,
958
00:58:59,448 --> 00:59:02,190
to living in a two-bedroom
apartment with my mom
959
00:59:02,321 --> 00:59:04,497
and grandma and sharing
a bed with my mom
960
00:59:04,628 --> 00:59:07,195
over the next year,
when I was in third grade.
961
00:59:07,326 --> 00:59:11,112
- They'd gone after his father
and bankrupted his father.
962
00:59:11,243 --> 00:59:13,767
And his father was
eventually found innocent
963
00:59:13,898 --> 00:59:15,203
and apologized to by the court.
964
00:59:15,334 --> 00:59:18,250
So basically, the FBI
ruined his family.
965
00:59:24,691 --> 00:59:27,041
It was after that day I
realized I'm a bad guy,
966
00:59:27,172 --> 00:59:28,739
and I had no idea beforehand,
you know.
967
00:59:28,869 --> 00:59:31,219
And even now,
I still have trouble
968
00:59:31,350 --> 00:59:33,787
really sort of
internalizing that.
969
00:59:33,918 --> 00:59:36,094
But if the FBI says it,
it must be true.
970
00:59:36,224 --> 00:59:38,009
From now on,
I'm the bad guy.
971
00:59:38,139 --> 00:59:41,273
- So it's kind of like a quad,
and everybody in the apartment
972
00:59:41,403 --> 00:59:42,840
complex can hear this man
973
00:59:42,970 --> 00:59:45,016
ranting against the FBI
on the balcony.
974
00:59:45,146 --> 00:59:48,236
And I'm getting a
little bit concerned,
975
00:59:48,367 --> 00:59:51,065
but I also want
him to have his...
976
00:59:51,196 --> 00:59:54,242
because he's Barrett Brown.
He says crazy stuff.
977
00:59:54,373 --> 00:59:59,291
In the evening, we sit in the
Tinychat, just joking around.
978
01:00:54,694 --> 01:00:58,393
- Whoa, is Barrett getting
fucking raided by the FBI?
979
01:00:58,524 --> 01:00:59,830
Holy shit!
980
01:01:06,010 --> 01:01:09,230
- If you're in the place
getting raided, OK,
981
01:01:09,361 --> 01:01:11,145
you don't know anything,
because all of a sudden,
982
01:01:11,276 --> 01:01:14,018
your utilities go out. Um...
983
01:01:14,148 --> 01:01:17,804
And the utilities go
out because the concern
984
01:01:17,935 --> 01:01:21,286
is that the concussion
grenades might start a fire.
985
01:01:21,416 --> 01:01:24,289
So they don't want the gas
or electricity running, OK.
986
01:01:24,419 --> 01:01:28,075
And none of the stuff you
see on television, where...
987
01:01:28,206 --> 01:01:30,512
they hit the door with
a battering ram.
988
01:01:30,643 --> 01:01:34,255
No, that door comes down
in one blow, OK?
989
01:01:34,386 --> 01:01:39,870
And you're down on the floor
with one of these macho jerks
990
01:01:40,000 --> 01:01:43,134
pointing an assault rifle at
your head, swearing at you
991
01:01:43,264 --> 01:01:44,613
and telling you to freeze,
992
01:01:44,744 --> 01:01:46,485
or he's going to blow
your fucking brains out.
993
01:01:46,615 --> 01:01:50,402
- The second agent came around
in his camo with his gun,
994
01:01:50,532 --> 01:01:52,578
and he looked at
me as if he didn't
995
01:01:52,709 --> 01:01:53,971
know there would
be a girl there.
996
01:01:54,101 --> 01:01:56,060
Barrett's mother came over.
997
01:01:56,190 --> 01:02:01,282
She sees Barrett Brown V,
and then
998
01:02:01,413 --> 01:02:04,721
the ampersand over and over
and over again on Twitter.
999
01:02:06,331 --> 01:02:09,900
Barrett Brown V& is a way
that people communicate
1000
01:02:10,030 --> 01:02:12,946
that somebody has been arrested.
1001
01:02:13,077 --> 01:02:14,295
- He's talking shit.
1002
01:02:14,426 --> 01:02:16,863
There's no crime
against talking shit.
1003
01:02:16,994 --> 01:02:18,430
But maybe there is now.
1004
01:02:27,700 --> 01:02:30,834
- What kind of threat ends with
how do you like them apples?
1005
01:02:30,964 --> 01:02:34,315
It's like... it's like, from
1840 or something like that.
1006
01:02:34,446 --> 01:02:36,274
If it was just
threatening the agent
1007
01:02:36,404 --> 01:02:38,580
and that's all he was
being charged with,
1008
01:02:38,711 --> 01:02:40,800
I wouldn't even care
about this case.
1009
01:02:40,931 --> 01:02:43,585
Let him and Special Agent Robert
Smith go out back
1010
01:02:43,716 --> 01:02:46,153
and duke it out,
or let Special Agent Smith
1011
01:02:46,284 --> 01:02:48,677
beat him up
or whatever he has to do.
1012
01:02:48,808 --> 01:02:51,942
- The second indictment
comes, and then it's
1013
01:02:52,072 --> 01:02:54,161
like a fucking kick in the gut.
1014
01:03:01,299 --> 01:03:03,257
All these guys
are doing is trying
1015
01:03:03,388 --> 01:03:05,303
to put the fear in him,
1016
01:03:05,433 --> 01:03:09,133
trying to pressure him to flip.
1017
01:03:10,134 --> 01:03:12,136
Barrett's such a
stubborn asshole,
1018
01:03:12,266 --> 01:03:14,660
that he's never going to flip.
1019
01:03:14,791 --> 01:03:19,186
- Their claim is that he
took a link, copied it -
1020
01:03:19,317 --> 01:03:22,929
it's journalistically important
to get the client list - pasted
1021
01:03:23,060 --> 01:03:26,933
it into the Project PM
chat room,
1022
01:03:27,064 --> 01:03:28,413
and in that one move
1023
01:03:28,543 --> 01:03:32,112
produced criminal
exposure for himself.
1024
01:03:32,243 --> 01:03:35,159
- The Barrett Brown
case is another one
1025
01:03:35,289 --> 01:03:37,378
of these seminal cases,
and the government
1026
01:03:37,509 --> 01:03:39,206
wants to send a very
chilling message.
1027
01:03:39,337 --> 01:03:41,556
It's fundamentally a
First Amendment case.
1028
01:03:41,687 --> 01:03:44,516
How dare you hold
up the mirror to us?
1029
01:03:44,646 --> 01:03:48,737
- They called Project PM
a criminal organization.
1030
01:03:48,868 --> 01:03:50,739
And that's what people
freaked out about,
1031
01:03:50,870 --> 01:03:53,177
because there were a whole
bunch of people on that server
1032
01:03:53,307 --> 01:03:55,527
editing that wiki, and like,
wait, there's a criminal...
1033
01:03:55,657 --> 01:03:57,398
- I think they're after
who, who... Anyone else?
1034
01:03:57,529 --> 01:03:59,966
Any other names to put on
our list of people to watch?
1035
01:04:00,880 --> 01:04:03,752
- The tingly feelings
of, like, paranoia
1036
01:04:03,883 --> 01:04:05,885
are crawling up my
spine like a spider.
1037
01:04:06,016 --> 01:04:08,409
They're there for a reason.
Just because you're
1038
01:04:08,540 --> 01:04:11,325
paranoid doesn't mean
they're not after you.
1039
01:04:12,370 --> 01:04:14,067
- So Jeremy Hammond
did the hack.
1040
01:04:14,198 --> 01:04:15,721
10 years at this point.
1041
01:04:17,070 --> 01:04:20,291
Who's the guy that's looking
at 105 years at this point?
1042
01:04:20,421 --> 01:04:22,989
It's Barrett Brown.
And what's the difference?
1043
01:04:23,120 --> 01:04:24,948
He's disseminating
the information.
1044
01:04:25,078 --> 01:04:28,690
He's doing something more
dangerous than what Jeremy did.
1045
01:04:28,821 --> 01:04:31,563
- Here's the message
from the government
1046
01:04:31,693 --> 01:04:35,393
to the hacktivists, who
are getting great coverage
1047
01:04:35,523 --> 01:04:37,308
and are becoming folk
heroes through the press.
1048
01:04:37,438 --> 01:04:40,006
Don't talk to the press,
because we're going to get
1049
01:04:40,137 --> 01:04:42,182
their computers and we're
going to get their sources
1050
01:04:42,313 --> 01:04:43,923
and we're going
to get you through that.
1051
01:04:44,054 --> 01:04:47,840
To the press who are
covering the hacktivists,
1052
01:04:47,971 --> 01:04:50,538
don't cover these hacktivists,
because we're going to get you.

[rock music]
1054
01:05:13,126 --> 01:05:14,649
- Here's what I want.
One...
1055
01:05:16,521 --> 01:05:17,652
I'm no longer your bitch.
1056
01:05:17,783 --> 01:05:20,699
Two, all of my
charges are dropped.
1057
01:05:20,829 --> 01:05:22,527
Three, all of Barrett
Brown's charges are dropped.
1058
01:05:22,657 --> 01:05:25,051
- That's up to the US Attorney.
- Figure it out.
1059
01:05:31,753 --> 01:05:33,712
[woman]: Hector Xavier Monsegur
1060
01:05:33,842 --> 01:05:36,584
was responsible for the
arrest of Jeremy Hammond
1061
01:05:36,715 --> 01:05:38,935
and other Anonymous
and LulzSec members.
1062
01:05:41,807 --> 01:05:44,418
[man]: Sources say he began
cooperating with the FBI.
1063

[hip-hop music]
1064
01:06:00,826 --> 01:06:06,092
- It... Like, I felt like my
brains had been blown out,
1065
01:06:06,223 --> 01:06:08,616
like it was the last scene
of The Departed.
1066
01:06:08,747 --> 01:06:12,229
- The FBI arrests Sabu,
and they turn him within a day.
1067
01:06:12,359 --> 01:06:14,448
And they have him back on
the Internet within two days.
1068
01:06:14,579 --> 01:06:19,018
- This isn't like some guy
going undercover
1069
01:06:19,149 --> 01:06:24,458
in the Gambino crime family
in person for years.
1070
01:06:24,589 --> 01:06:27,157
None of us had ever
met him before.
1071
01:06:27,287 --> 01:06:31,204
He was just this guy we
knew from the Internet.
1072
01:06:31,335 --> 01:06:33,685
- He talks the talk
so forcefully,
1073
01:06:33,815 --> 01:06:36,557
with that kind of New York
personality, you know,
1074
01:06:36,688 --> 01:06:38,559
we are doing the right
thing for the people.
1075
01:06:38,690 --> 01:06:41,606
We are building this anew
from the ground up.
1076
01:06:41,736 --> 01:06:46,176
We are taking down the ugly,
evil, capitalist,
1077
01:06:46,306 --> 01:06:49,875
you know, imperial machinery,
1078
01:06:50,006 --> 01:06:52,878
and we are building it back up
with our own hands.
1079
01:06:53,009 --> 01:06:54,227
My brother, he says.
1080
01:07:00,494 --> 01:07:03,193
- Looking at Sabu's interactions
with reporters during the time
1081
01:07:03,323 --> 01:07:04,890
that he was an FBI informant,
1082
01:07:05,021 --> 01:07:07,371
Sabu could have easily
just told the reporter,
1083
01:07:07,501 --> 01:07:10,156
like, no, I don't want
to talk to you, go away.
1084
01:07:10,287 --> 01:07:11,940
That's not what he did.
1085
01:07:12,071 --> 01:07:13,681
He engaged in, like, an hour
and a half long conversation
1086
01:07:13,812 --> 01:07:15,857
and then screen-capped it and
handed that information over
1087
01:07:15,988 --> 01:07:18,077
to the FBI.
That's not a free press.
1088
01:07:18,208 --> 01:07:20,645
The government has journalists
under surveillance.
1089
01:07:20,775 --> 01:07:22,995
[woman]: Do you think
the government's targeting you?
1090
01:07:23,126 --> 01:07:25,389
- I hope not.
[laughing]
1091
01:07:25,519 --> 01:07:28,218
I hope I'm not...
Shit.
1092
01:07:29,262 --> 01:07:33,571
- Everybody's paranoia is
just through the fucking roof.
1093
01:07:43,929 --> 01:07:45,496
Wait a sec.
1094
01:07:45,626 --> 01:07:49,456
If he was working for the FBI
from that moment in June
1095
01:07:49,587 --> 01:07:51,806
to this moment now...
1096
01:07:52,720 --> 01:07:54,026
They didn't delete his timeline,
1097
01:07:54,157 --> 01:07:56,507
they didn't try
to hide any of that stuff.
1098
01:08:01,947 --> 01:08:04,080
[hip-hop music]
1099
01:08:24,317 --> 01:08:27,625
[Sabu]: Want to speak to me?
Want to join the fight?
1100
01:08:29,757 --> 01:08:32,586
Go to Wall Street and protest.
1101
01:08:56,175 --> 01:09:00,092
- Sabu and Jeremy
were partners in crime.
1102
01:09:00,223 --> 01:09:03,791
They were the digital Bonnie
and Clyde, if you will.
1103
01:09:03,922 --> 01:09:07,012
Except one of them is working
for the FBI the whole time.
1104
01:09:07,143 --> 01:09:12,409
- The FBI is operating
in sort of a new theater,
1105
01:09:12,539 --> 01:09:14,193
which is online.
1106
01:09:14,324 --> 01:09:18,197
The government likes to
use these hyperbolic terms
1107
01:09:18,328 --> 01:09:21,287
referring to cyber-warfare,
cyber-weapons.
1108
01:09:35,780 --> 01:09:39,349
- The feds,
by proxy through Sabu,
1109
01:09:39,479 --> 01:09:43,570
were giving Jeremy the 0days
to get into these websites.
1110
01:09:43,701 --> 01:09:45,398
In order to, say,
entrap a terrorist,
1111
01:09:45,529 --> 01:09:47,357
they would sell him
fake explosives.
1112
01:09:47,487 --> 01:09:52,449
But instead of giving him fake
explosives, the 0days are real.
1113
01:09:52,579 --> 01:09:56,322
In the hacker world, you either
get in or you don't get in.
1114
01:09:56,453 --> 01:10:00,065
There's no fake hack.
1115
01:10:00,196 --> 01:10:03,373
It wouldn't be a crime
if it was a fake hack.
1116
01:10:18,736 --> 01:10:20,216
Ugh.
1117
01:10:25,917 --> 01:10:27,962
That's the only way
I could describe it dude.
1118
01:10:28,093 --> 01:10:30,835
She fellated him.
1119
01:10:30,965 --> 01:10:36,754
The amount of cooperation
was truly extraordinary.
1120
01:10:38,234 --> 01:10:40,801
And it was just amaz...
She just kept saying it
1121
01:10:40,932 --> 01:10:43,021
over and over.
It was truly extraordinary,
1122
01:10:43,151 --> 01:10:44,370
truly extraordinary.
1123
01:10:48,200 --> 01:10:51,856
You know...
and I gotta say too,
1124
01:10:51,986 --> 01:10:55,163
I don't know what I would
have done in his position.
1125
01:10:55,294 --> 01:10:56,600
I really don't.
1126
01:10:57,514 --> 01:10:59,167
Uh, you know...
1127
01:10:59,298 --> 01:11:02,606
You have to walk a mile
in his shoes to understand.
1128
01:11:02,736 --> 01:11:05,435
There's a lot of people that
are going to be mad, though,
1129
01:11:05,565 --> 01:11:07,567
the amount of
truly extraordinary
1130
01:11:07,698 --> 01:11:09,308
cooperation that he gave.
1131
01:11:09,439 --> 01:11:12,572
This was the first time
anybody had ever seen him,
1132
01:11:12,703 --> 01:11:14,922
at least publicly.
Like, this was real.
1133
01:11:15,053 --> 01:11:17,229
This was finally
coming to a close.
1134
01:11:17,360 --> 01:11:19,405
And he was facing...
1135
01:11:19,536 --> 01:11:22,800
The guideline was
between 21 and 26 years.
1136
01:11:27,457 --> 01:11:30,198
He walked out of the

01:11:30,329 --> 01:11:33,854
Manhattan court complex
a free man.
1138
01:11:37,293 --> 01:11:38,685
Yeah.
1139
01:11:38,816 --> 01:11:42,254
- He immediately cooperated
with the FBI
1140
01:11:42,385 --> 01:11:44,691
when they arrested him.
1141
01:11:44,822 --> 01:11:46,867
And the judge said
that that was probably
1142
01:11:46,998 --> 01:11:49,827
the most significant
aspect of the case,
1143
01:11:49,957 --> 01:11:53,831
was that Sabu flipped
so quickly, which enabled
1144
01:11:53,961 --> 01:11:58,314
the FBI to sort of become
a part of Anonymous
1145
01:11:58,444 --> 01:11:59,619
over a nine-month period.
1146
01:11:59,750 --> 01:12:01,752
They were apparently sitting
1147
01:12:01,882 --> 01:12:05,538
at the computer with him
at times.
1148
01:12:05,669 --> 01:12:07,975
He had a camera
in his apartment or house
1149
01:12:08,106 --> 01:12:10,891
that was videotaping
him every day.
1150
01:12:11,022 --> 01:12:15,113
He was debriefed
regularly by the FBI.
1151
01:12:15,243 --> 01:12:19,160
- Judge Preska said,
and I quote, I salute you.
1152
01:12:19,291 --> 01:12:23,034
- The prosecution and the
defense sort of built him up
1153
01:12:23,164 --> 01:12:26,690
to be this sort of
conservative folk hero,
1154
01:12:26,820 --> 01:12:30,955
like the model FBI
informant, the person who
1155
01:12:31,085 --> 01:12:34,611
every informant should
live up to be, to the point
1156
01:12:34,741 --> 01:12:38,092
where it made it impossible
for them to give him jail time.
1157
01:12:38,223 --> 01:12:41,008
It would have been...
it would've been
1158
01:12:41,139 --> 01:12:42,749
bad for the informant
program for him
1159
01:12:42,880 --> 01:12:46,187
to have worked that long,
to work three years
1160
01:12:46,318 --> 01:12:48,451
and then be sentenced to prison.
1161
01:12:50,714 --> 01:12:53,412
- Sabu pretty much
neutralized Anonymous.
1162
01:12:53,543 --> 01:12:54,761
- Yeah.
1163
01:12:54,892 --> 01:12:56,676
- Completely
neutralized Anonymous.
1164
01:12:56,807 --> 01:12:59,549
- And after he went
down, everyone's
1165
01:12:59,679 --> 01:13:02,029
afraid of following any leader.
And they're also afraid
1166
01:13:02,160 --> 01:13:05,685
of starting an operation
on their own.
1167
01:13:05,816 --> 01:13:07,470
- In general,
nobody trusts anyone.
1168
01:13:07,600 --> 01:13:10,690
If you go onto any IRC chat,
they're all just talking about,

01:13:10,821 --> 01:13:12,126
you know--
- Who's the fed?
1170
01:13:12,257 --> 01:13:16,043
- --you're the fed.
[interposing voices]
1171
01:13:20,439 --> 01:13:22,572
- At the end of the day,
he's just a hacker
1172
01:13:22,702 --> 01:13:24,661
getting used by the government.
1173
01:13:26,358 --> 01:13:29,927
- Sabu is the big snitch.
1174
01:13:30,057 --> 01:13:34,497
Like, the ninth circle of
Hell is reserved for Sabu.

the light of this stuff.

1187
01:15:15,032 --> 01:15:17,208
taken from multiple
closed circuit cameras
1188
01:15:17,338 --> 01:15:19,166
from across the country.
1189
01:15:20,646 --> 01:15:23,388
- Video feeds are fed into
a centralized system that
1190
01:15:23,519 --> 01:15:26,826
analyzes them for patterns
of suspicious behavior.
1191
01:15:30,613 --> 01:15:31,918
- To understand TrapWire,
1192
01:15:32,049 --> 01:15:35,356
you have to understand
the larger context,
1193
01:15:35,487 --> 01:15:38,534
because TrapWire
is a critical piece
1194
01:15:38,664 --> 01:15:40,448
of the surveillance
apparatus.
1195
01:15:40,579 --> 01:15:43,843
This is actually doing
very large swath,
1196
01:15:43,974 --> 01:15:46,063
persistent surveillance.
1197
01:15:49,022 --> 01:15:53,897
[Barrett]: In 2007, TrapWire
costs about $1.7 million
1198
01:15:54,027 --> 01:15:56,203
to operate
in Los Angeles County.
1199
01:15:56,334 --> 01:15:58,379
What we know
about how it functions
1200
01:15:58,510 --> 01:16:00,991
is largely gleaned
from those emails.
1201
01:16:02,470 --> 01:16:04,777
- TrapWire has been deployed
in Seattle,
1202
01:16:04,908 --> 01:16:08,999
in Los Angeles, in DC.
1203
01:16:14,134 --> 01:16:15,701
According to a Stratfor email,
1204
01:16:15,832 --> 01:16:18,878
there's 500 cameras in the
New York City subway system
1205
01:16:19,009 --> 01:16:20,706
equipped with TrapWire.
1206
01:16:20,837 --> 01:16:22,360
[Jaime Cochran]:
The New York Times
1207
01:16:22,490 --> 01:16:26,233
said that TrapWire
was only used on 15 cameras
1208
01:16:26,364 --> 01:16:28,366
in the entire country,
and that the DHS
1209
01:16:28,496 --> 01:16:30,542
wrote it off as a failure.
1210
01:16:30,673 --> 01:16:33,589
That's a complete lie.
1211
01:16:45,035 --> 01:16:48,168
- We had gone to 38th Street
Station to troll TrapWire.
1212
01:16:48,299 --> 01:16:50,344
Trolling TrapWire
was for us was essentially
1213
01:16:50,475 --> 01:16:53,739
acting out these things that
the security researcher, Justin,
1214
01:16:53,870 --> 01:16:55,306
and other people said,
1215
01:16:55,436 --> 01:16:57,351
this might work
to trigger TrapWire's alarms.
1216
01:16:57,482 --> 01:16:59,266
Sitting their holding
my laptop and looking around--
1217
01:16:59,397 --> 01:17:01,094
- You were live-tweeting
the video.
1218
01:17:01,225 --> 01:17:02,879
- And you were being ridiculous
about the whole thing.
1219
01:17:03,009 --> 01:17:04,794
- Obvious, yeah.
1220
01:17:04,924 --> 01:17:06,839
- We ate with a senior official
1221
01:17:06,970 --> 01:17:08,536
in the Philadelphia
Police Department.
1222
01:17:08,667 --> 01:17:11,714
During this, a Homeland Security
unit for Philadelphia police
1223
01:17:11,844 --> 01:17:14,499
had come to him and said, Dustin
Slaughter and Kenneth Lipp
1224
01:17:14,630 --> 01:17:16,457
are at 30th Street Station,
and they're worried
1225
01:17:16,588 --> 01:17:18,372
that they were going
to smash cameras,
1226
01:17:18,503 --> 01:17:21,027
that we have something terrorist
in mind. It blew our minds.
1227
01:17:21,158 --> 01:17:22,594
They thought
they were monitoring this.
1228
01:17:22,725 --> 01:17:24,378
They were paying attention
and freaked out about it.
1229
01:17:24,509 --> 01:17:26,554
- They're doing what everyone's
worried about. It's not--
1230
01:17:26,685 --> 01:17:29,906
- Anarchists are running all
over the place and smashing,
1231
01:17:30,036 --> 01:17:31,821
burning, looting.
1232
01:17:36,477 --> 01:17:38,566
[Barrett]: Coverage
of TrapWire in the US,
1233
01:17:38,697 --> 01:17:40,438
the whole story was
smothered in its crib
1234
01:17:40,568 --> 01:17:42,353
by The New York Times.
1235
01:17:44,398 --> 01:17:46,966
- It's an open secret
that the mainstream media
1236
01:17:47,097 --> 01:17:49,882
has special access
to the halls of power.
1237
01:17:50,013 --> 01:17:52,406
There was a phrase
I used to hear at NSA...
1238
01:17:54,234 --> 01:17:56,584
We're going to tell them
what we want them to hear,
1239
01:17:56,715 --> 01:18:00,153
not what they need to know.
What we want them to hear.
1240
01:18:00,284 --> 01:18:01,807
That's pure manipulation.
1241
01:18:01,938 --> 01:18:03,940
That is CYOP Info Op.
1242
01:18:04,070 --> 01:18:07,508
You're saying,
because you can,
1243
01:18:07,639 --> 01:18:10,076
you're controlling
the narrative.
1244
01:18:13,645 --> 01:18:16,604
- Hail victory!
- Go, go, go, go, go.
1245
01:18:16,735 --> 01:18:18,911
[rock music, singing along]
1246
01:18:30,183 --> 01:18:32,229
- What?
- Yeah, dude.
1247
01:18:43,806 --> 01:18:45,851
...and my magazines and
my newspapers and my mail.
1248
01:18:45,982 --> 01:18:49,333
[indistinct chatter]
1249
01:18:51,422 --> 01:18:53,076
[laughter]
1250
01:18:55,556 --> 01:18:57,471
I spent the majority
of my time in the SHU.
1251
01:19:02,215 --> 01:19:04,609
They were like, if you continue,
we're going to force-feed you.
1252
01:19:04,740 --> 01:19:06,829
And I'm like, well,
you're gonna force-feed me.
1253
01:19:06,959 --> 01:19:09,179
[laughing]
1254
01:19:09,309 --> 01:19:11,877
I ain't backing down, you know?
1255
01:19:12,878 --> 01:19:15,707
- The infamous computer
hacker known by his alias weev
1256
01:19:15,838 --> 01:19:18,623
is a free man after
more than a year behind bars.
1257
01:19:18,754 --> 01:19:21,408
An appeals court has now
overturned his conviction.
1258
01:19:21,539 --> 01:19:23,062
[hip-hop music]
1259
01:19:45,258 --> 01:19:46,956
- Time behind bars
has made weev
1260
01:19:47,086 --> 01:19:49,132
even more outspoken
than before.
1261
01:19:49,262 --> 01:19:53,571
- I can't watch my society rot
when a bunch of federal scum
1262
01:19:53,701 --> 01:19:55,007
want to just throw anybody
1263
01:19:55,138 --> 01:19:56,443
that they disagree with
in a prison cell.
1264
01:19:56,574 --> 01:19:58,663
It's the end of
the West right now,
1265
01:19:58,794 --> 01:20:01,318
and we've got to fight for it.
Somebody has to.
1266
01:20:01,448 --> 01:20:04,930
- You have no instincts to flee,
1267
01:20:05,061 --> 01:20:06,584
like Edward Snowden
or Julian Assange?
1268
01:20:06,714 --> 01:20:08,804
- I'm not running.
This is my country.
1269
01:20:14,984 --> 01:20:17,029
[PA]: Ladies and gentlemen...
1270
01:20:17,160 --> 01:20:19,989
- So this case is at
every step of the way...
1271
01:20:20,119 --> 01:20:22,339
From the initial
criminal complaint
1272
01:20:22,469 --> 01:20:25,124
to my time in prison has
always been about my speech.
1273
01:20:25,255 --> 01:20:27,039
And they've wanted
to silence me.
1274
01:20:30,216 --> 01:20:32,436
They further punished me
in prison
1275
01:20:32,566 --> 01:20:36,919
and subjected me to conditions
above and beyond any
1276
01:20:37,049 --> 01:20:40,748
of the other prisoners at my
facility because of my speech.
1277
01:20:42,054 --> 01:20:45,841
They wanted me to disappear
from public view and memory.
1278
01:20:48,191 --> 01:20:52,282
It was...
inside the SHU, like...
1279
01:20:53,065 --> 01:20:54,850
inside the SHU...
1280
01:21:01,552 --> 01:21:04,772
There's an author,
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn.
1281
01:21:04,903 --> 01:21:06,905
He was one of the
few authors
1282
01:21:07,036 --> 01:21:09,908
that kept writing after Stalin
told all the authors
1283
01:21:10,039 --> 01:21:12,998
that they weren't allowed
to write any literature
1284
01:21:13,129 --> 01:21:14,565
that was compelling anymore.
1285
01:21:14,695 --> 01:21:17,437
And he ended up in a prison
system called the Gulag.
1286
01:21:17,568 --> 01:21:21,746
And he describes there
the steps that they do
1287
01:21:21,877 --> 01:21:23,443
to try to break you down.
1288
01:21:23,574 --> 01:21:26,533
I kept checking off the
bullet points that he listed.
1289
01:21:26,664 --> 01:21:29,449
He has, like,
a 30 bullet point list
1290
01:21:29,580 --> 01:21:32,888
of all the various
interrogatory methods
1291
01:21:33,018 --> 01:21:35,499
that they used in Soviet Russia.
1292
01:21:35,629 --> 01:21:38,241
Temperature extremes
are one of them, and...
1293
01:21:38,371 --> 01:21:42,680
They'll turn up the AC
to freezing temperatures
1294
01:21:42,810 --> 01:21:44,682
while he was sleeping.
1295
01:21:44,812 --> 01:21:47,554
And then they'll pump up
the heat during the day.
1296
01:21:47,685 --> 01:21:50,731
So... And they come and...
like,
1297
01:21:50,862 --> 01:21:52,603
I couldn't sleep
because they would bang
1298
01:21:52,733 --> 01:21:54,605
on the door
every once in a while.
1299
01:21:54,735 --> 01:21:56,520
And they'll shine the
flashlight in your eyes
1300
01:21:56,650 --> 01:21:58,478
and keep waking you up at night.
1301
01:21:58,609 --> 01:22:01,960
They'll put you on a bunk,
and then you can't even sit up.
1302
01:22:02,091 --> 01:22:04,310
And there's a light
right next to your head.
1303
01:22:04,441 --> 01:22:05,746
And it's pretty terrible.
1304
01:22:05,877 --> 01:22:08,140
No doubt about it,
it's pretty terrible.
1305
01:22:20,457 --> 01:22:23,460
- The surveillance
state's already here.
1306
01:22:23,590 --> 01:22:26,115
It's already here.
We're constantly on camera.
1307
01:22:26,245 --> 01:22:27,812
We can't put
that back in the box.
1308
01:22:27,943 --> 01:22:29,901
Like, we can fret about
it and say, oh gosh,
1309
01:22:30,032 --> 01:22:31,555
we need more controls...
1310
01:22:31,685 --> 01:22:34,166
That infrastructure is there,
and it's not going away.
1311
01:22:34,297 --> 01:22:35,602
- They can watch us
through our webcams.
1312
01:22:35,733 --> 01:22:37,953
They can listen
through our phones.
1313
01:22:38,083 --> 01:22:40,651
There's no privacy
left, virtually.
1314
01:22:41,913 --> 01:22:45,873
We are the most watched,
surveilled, monitored,
1315
01:22:46,004 --> 01:22:49,703
eavesdropped population in
the history of the human race.
1316
01:22:51,401 --> 01:22:53,664
- If you have nothing to hide,
as justification for violating
1317
01:22:53,794 --> 01:22:56,188
your rights, then you have
nothing to worry about.
1318
01:22:56,319 --> 01:22:57,755
You know where that
phrase came from?
1319
01:22:57,885 --> 01:23:00,018
Goebbels from the Nazi era.
1320
01:23:00,149 --> 01:23:03,369
Nothing to hide?
That means there is no privacy.
1321
01:23:05,197 --> 01:23:07,199
- I left Iran to come here,
1322
01:23:07,330 --> 01:23:10,507
and now I can't have
security or privacy?
1323
01:23:10,637 --> 01:23:13,205
All we want is just
fucking live our lives.
1324
01:23:13,336 --> 01:23:15,599
Half of us, we don't
even give a shit,
1325
01:23:15,729 --> 01:23:18,384
if we could all be left alone.
1326
01:23:18,515 --> 01:23:22,040
It's my right by birth
to have privacy.
1327
01:23:22,171 --> 01:23:23,694
- They want to own you.
1328
01:23:24,869 --> 01:23:28,133
That's a power relationship:
superior, inferior.
1329
01:23:28,264 --> 01:23:32,050
- If I know every single thing
about you, about what you
1330
01:23:32,181 --> 01:23:34,748
think, how you reason,
what your fears are,
1331
01:23:34,879 --> 01:23:37,055
what you're planning,
what you're doing,
1332
01:23:37,186 --> 01:23:39,971
and you know nothing
about me, because I'm
1333
01:23:40,102 --> 01:23:42,539
shielding my behavior
behind a wall of secrecy,
1334
01:23:42,669 --> 01:23:44,541
I have incredible
power over you.
1335
01:23:44,671 --> 01:23:46,630
The power imbalance
between us is immense,
1336
01:23:46,760 --> 01:23:49,894
because I can now manipulate
you, I can threaten you,
1337
01:23:50,025 --> 01:23:52,723
I can alter your behavior
in all sorts of ways,
1338
01:23:52,853 --> 01:23:54,855
I can anticipate your
behavior, I can prevent you
1339
01:23:54,986 --> 01:23:56,596
from doing things
that you're planning,
1340
01:23:56,727 --> 01:23:58,859
I can prepare in defense
of what you're doing,
1341
01:23:58,990 --> 01:24:00,948
I can always stay
many steps ahead of you.
1342
01:24:01,079 --> 01:24:02,689
- This mentality
is pathological.
1343
01:24:02,820 --> 01:24:05,518
You have to understand
the mindset.
1344
01:24:05,649 --> 01:24:09,740
You have to understand
the psychology
1345
01:24:09,870 --> 01:24:12,917
behind those who want
to know everything.
1346
01:24:13,048 --> 01:24:15,963
That means anything
hidden, anything private,
1347
01:24:16,094 --> 01:24:18,836
anything sovereign
is a direct threat
1348
01:24:18,966 --> 01:24:20,577
to the surveillance state.
1349
01:24:20,707 --> 01:24:25,408
- The capacity of this
agency to spy on people
1350
01:24:25,538 --> 01:24:27,149
and to know everything
that they do
1351
01:24:27,279 --> 01:24:29,629
is so extreme and awesome,
1352
01:24:29,760 --> 01:24:32,545
at any moment
pure totalitarianism
1353
01:24:32,676 --> 01:24:34,852
could be imposed,
and the American people
1354
01:24:34,982 --> 01:24:36,506
would have no place to hide.
1355
01:24:36,636 --> 01:24:38,638
- Security and surveillance
state is put into place
1356
01:24:38,769 --> 01:24:41,598
in order to keep a
population captive.
1357
01:24:41,728 --> 01:24:43,600
And they now have
all the mechanisms
1358
01:24:43,730 --> 01:24:45,863
to do it: absolute
iron control,
1359
01:24:45,993 --> 01:24:47,299
over-arrestive population,
1360
01:24:47,430 --> 01:24:50,128
should the population
become restive.
1361
01:24:50,259 --> 01:24:53,784
- The United States
unchained itself fully
1362
01:24:53,914 --> 01:24:55,307
from the Constitution.
1363
01:24:55,438 --> 01:24:56,874
People still don't
fully appreciate it.
1364
01:24:57,004 --> 01:24:59,268
We talk about mass surveillance.
No, they've unchained.
1365
01:24:59,398 --> 01:25:00,921
This is an alien
form of government.
1366
01:25:01,052 --> 01:25:03,359
It's completely
anathema to democracy.
1367
01:25:03,489 --> 01:25:05,970
It's completely anathema,
but obviously the government's
1368
01:25:06,101 --> 01:25:07,972
not going to come out
and say, hey, guess what?
1369
01:25:08,103 --> 01:25:10,453
We're under national
emergency conditions.
1370
01:25:56,151 --> 01:25:59,850
- I'm going to continue
hitting large companies
1371
01:25:59,980 --> 01:26:01,852
and institutional powers.
1372
01:26:01,982 --> 01:26:04,071
I'm not going to take
no shit from nobody.
1373
01:26:04,898 --> 01:26:07,466
Fuck them if they
can't take a joke.
1374
01:26:33,623 --> 01:26:36,365
- I was not going to sit
still and remain silent,
1375
01:26:36,495 --> 01:26:38,802
because if I had
remained silent,
1376
01:26:38,932 --> 01:26:41,587
I myself
would have been complicit
1377
01:26:41,718 --> 01:26:44,547
in the conduct of a crime
1378
01:26:44,677 --> 01:26:47,680
against the sovereignty
of who we are as people.
1379
01:26:47,811 --> 01:26:52,250
That's We the People, capital
W and capital P, We the People.
1380
01:27:03,957 --> 01:27:06,264
- You can just sign off.
- Right.
1381
01:27:06,395 --> 01:27:08,701
- Like, you don't have to
be a victim of trolling.
1382
01:27:08,832 --> 01:27:11,487
Like, you can just
turn off the Internet.
1383
01:27:11,617 --> 01:27:13,706
[hip-hop music]
1384
01:27:35,250 --> 01:27:37,208
- Sabu got off.
1385
01:27:37,339 --> 01:27:40,559
Judge Preska and the
attorneys and the defenders
1386
01:27:40,690 --> 01:27:43,345
got on their knees
and fellated him.
1387
01:27:43,475 --> 01:27:45,390
- That's, like, a lot more sex
1388
01:27:45,521 --> 01:27:47,697
than I remember going on
in the courtroom.
1389
01:27:47,827 --> 01:27:49,742
- Don't limit your activism
to just the mere world
1390
01:27:49,873 --> 01:27:51,527
of computers.
Take it to the streets.
1391
01:27:51,657 --> 01:27:54,878
We need more foot soldiers in
the streets to fuck up shit.
1392
01:28:01,972 --> 01:28:04,104
- "Dallas, Texas native
Mr. Brown joins
1393
01:28:04,235 --> 01:28:06,498
other infamous Texans
who fought the government,
1394
01:28:06,629 --> 01:28:08,413
such as Branch Davidians
at Waco, Texas."
1395
01:28:08,544 --> 01:28:11,068
Fucking really?
Really?
1396
01:28:11,198 --> 01:28:12,765
The Branch Davidians?
1397
01:28:12,896 --> 01:28:14,419
Really?
Fuck you.
1398
01:28:30,914 --> 01:28:32,568
[laughing]
