They're located around the world
and communicate via a restricted mailing list.
From this platform,
they start defining their thoughts
of building up a worldwide movement
to mass publicise classified information.
They affirm that this is
the most cost-effective political weapon,
and that they intend to place a new star
on the political firmament of man.
Any reform that is large-scale
must be based upon information,
because what else can spread other than viruses?
Only information can spread and
achieve large-scale reform.
Inspired by Wikipedia,
WikiLeaks distribute the leaked information
to anonymous volunteers to check its authenticity
and eliminate any traces of the sender's identity.
It turns out that the majority of the general public
has neither the time, interest or resources
to analyse WikiLeaks' material.
But there are professionals to turn to.
In 2006, we hoped that the general public
would write analysis articles ...collaboratively.
And not at all true.
WikiLeaks come to the conclusion
that media are the only channels
that have the resources and motivation required
to create a real impact.
In 2007, WikiLeaks,
in association with the British daily newspaper 'The Guardian'
publish evidence of former
president Daniel arap Moi
having embezzled massive sums from Kenyan state funds.
Shortly after that, they release a report about
the Kenyan police's use of death patrols.
This disclosure causes a great stir,
but, as an organisation,
WikiLeaks continue to remain unknown to the general public.
However, the word spreads
among activists far and wide on the Net,
eventually reaching the German Chaos Computer Club,
for hackers in the world.
from a couple of friends.
but I started to understand
the value of such a project to society.
The politically engaged Chaos Computer Club
has been fighting a long-term battle
for free access to information.
One of its members, Daniel Domscheit-Berg,
is quick to recognise the common ground
between his view of society and that of WikiLeaks'.
He quits his job as a computer consultant
so as to devote all of his time to the new organisation.
The question is the attitude.
What attitude do you have to society?
Do you look at what there is
and you accept that as God given?
Or do you see society
as something where you identify a problem
and then you find a
creative solution for that problem?
So it is a matter of, are you a spectator
or are you actively participating in society?
