Inside WikiLeaks
Inside WikiLeaks: My Time at the World's Most Dangerous Website (English title: Inside WikiLeaks: My Time with Julian Assange at the World's Most Dangerous Website ) is an autobiographical book by Daniel Domscheit-Berg with the participation of Tina Klopp , in the Domscheit-Berg describes the two and a half years during which he worked with Julian Assange for WikiLeaks . Domscheit-Berg was also a spokesman for WikiLeaks under the pseudonym Daniel Schmitt .
Authors
Daniel Domscheit-Berg, born 1978, is a German computer scientist and worked as a network engineer at Electronic Data Systems after completing his studies . Having come into contact with WikiLeaks a year earlier, he gave up his work in 2009 to devote himself entirely to WikiLeaks, but separated from WikiLeaks in September 2010 after a dispute with Julian Assange.
Tina Klopp, who works as a ghostwriter here , was born in Hamburg in 1976. She studied political science and German and then graduated from the German School of Journalism . In 2006 she received the Friedwart Bruckhaus Prize for Young Scientists and Journalists and in 2010 a grant from the German Literature Fund . Since September 2009 she has been an editor in the digital department at Zeit Online in Berlin. In an article published there, she emphasized the unusual precautionary measures for secrecy that were necessary during the preparatory work for the book, which had been ongoing since November 2010, and that activated paranoid fantasies in her.
title
As part of an online seminar by the Friedrich Naumann Foundation , Domscheit-Berg explained the title of the planned book in a conversation with Götz Hamann and Jöran Muuß-Merholz at the beginning of December 2010 . WikiLeaks could be dangerous for those in power and interested in keeping certain things secret. There would also be a danger for the informers, the whistleblowers . WikiLeaks is also dangerous because it is not democratically legitimized and its political goals remain unclear.
announcement
The Econ Verlag announced the book in December 2010 as "enthralling written investigative report" and could count on in the wake of the temporary custody Julian Assange and the high media attention associated with a strong interest in the topic. The British Guardian , Stern TV and the online edition of Bild took up the topic, among others . A few days before his book was published, Domscheit-Berg took part in a panel discussion organized by the Heinrich Böll Foundation on the subject of “Whistleblowing, WikiLeaks and the new transparency”. There and in other media he expressed himself critical of WikiLeaks and described the disclosure platform as no longer functional. On February 10, a press conference with Daniel Domscheit-Berg on the publication of his book took place in the Berlin Palais am Festungsgraben . The author denied the term “accounting book”, but said that Assange wanted to prevent him from becoming a “pop culture phenomenon”. The book appeared a day later with an initial print run of 50,000 copies. At the end of the month it reached number 13 in the Spiegel bestseller list determined by Buchreport every week .
content
structure
The paperback book has about 300 pages and is mainly written in the past tense and as a first-person narration . It is divided into:
- a preliminary remark about the lack of transparency of WikiLeaks, criticized by the author, and his own conflict between loyalty and moral standards;
- a prologue in which he describes the immediate separation from Assange and thus from WikiLeaks via internet chat and his personal reaction to it;
- another 19 chapters about his time at WikiLeaks, which make up the main text;
- a chapter on OpenLeaks , the successor to a disclosure platform he initiated ;
- an epilogue in which questions about the financial situation and the organizational structure of WikiLeaks are asked as well as about the roles of the controversial people like the anti-Semites Israel Shamir and Johannes Wahlström . From the answers to this question, one can see what “went wrong” with the “great idea” WikiLeaks in the opinion of the author;
- Acknowledgments and an appendix containing the German translations of various English-language statements and chats as well as a chronology of WikiLeaks.
Chapter of the main text
In The First Encounter , the author describes how he became aware of WikiLeaks and its potential in 2007, made contact and began to do his first work. He describes his first meeting with Julian Assange at the Chaos Communication Congress in Berlin and how impressed he was with his appearance.
The fight against the bears is the story of the first publication in which Domscheit-Berg was directly involved. It was about the uncovering of the alleged tax fraud at the Swiss bank Julius Baer , which WikiLeaks made known in early 2008 within a very short time. Domscheit-Berg also describes here how WikiLeaks presented itself to the outside world as larger than the rather small group actually was. Thus, although there was only contact with a lawyer, it appeared to have a well-developed legal department, and both Assange and Domscheit-Berg used pseudonyms to portray the number of employees as larger than they actually were. Many people had offered to support the project, but most of them never took action. The technical infrastructure was also still underdeveloped and over time it was expanded to include additional servers. Domscheit-Berg describes his secret joy at having been involved in the publication and his friendly relationship with Assange, which was still untroubled at the time.
The next chapter, The Sect and Us , deals with the publications of internal documents by the Church of Scientology , which were probably submitted by activists of the Internet collective Anonymous and by dropouts from the sect. WikiLeaks had gained self-confidence in connection with the attempt by Bank Julius Baer to take legal action against WikiLeaks and was right in that Scientology did not file a lawsuit against WikiLeaks. Here is the first criticism of the internal organization of WikiLeaks and the role of Assange in Domscheit-Berg's book:
“Now I also wonder whether WikiLeaks had not also developed into a religious cult in my last few months. At least to a system in which criticism from within was hardly possible. [...] So much can at least be said: Julian had very precisely understood the cult phenomenon, which he had to deal with when reading the Scientology documents. "
Under First Experiences with the Media , it is described below how Assange and Domscheit-Berg acquired a professional, but also manipulative approach to the media. “From the media we learned how public opinion could be manipulated,” writes Domscheit-Berg, addressing various topics. Using the example of the published, actually secret Toll Collect contracts and Stern's reporting on them, he shows how he tried to reach the largest possible audience on the one hand and had to accept the terms of the mass media on the other . A complaint from Ernst Uhrlau , the President of the Federal Intelligence Service , about a publication which, among other things, made it possible to trace manipulations by the BND in Wikipedia , served, again made public, as proof of the authenticity of the document; a strategy WikiLeaks used more often.
Visiting Julian describes, concerning Julian Assange's two months in Wiesbaden, Assange as a sometimes impolite eccentric with paranoid features, which are more common in the hacker scene . Assange had an immense ability to concentrate and work, but also tended to fantasize, dominate and instrumentalize the people around him.
In WikiLeaks and the Money , Domscheit-Berg describes failed attempts to create a financial basis for WikiLeaks and the separation from his employer in favor of full participation at WikiLeaks from February 2009. The goal in 2008 to make WikiLeaks financially independent and pay salaries could not be achieved due to internal discrepancies.
The fight against Internet censorship characterizes the campaign against Internet bans in various countries, which were justified with the fight against child pornography , but which, in the opinion of its critics, achieved this goal insufficiently and at the expense of general freedom of information. WikiLeaks published the internet blacklists of various countries and internet service providers . Franziska Heine and Ursula von der Leyen , protagonists in the dispute over the Access Restriction Act , which Domscheit-Berg both got to know, are described, as is the award ceremony for WikiLeaks at Ars Electronica in Austria 2009.
The idea of the Medienfreihafen describes how Herbert Snorrason and Birgitta Jónsdóttir joined WikiLeaks after WikiLeaks publications on Kaupthing Bank caused a sensation in Iceland in the summer of 2009 . On the sidelines of a conference in Reykjavík on the subject of "digital freedoms", the idea arose to make Iceland a state with very progressive media legislation that would protect informants and journalists. It was presented to the public for the first time on a talk show. The relationship between Assange and Domscheit-Berg had meanwhile worsened, even if there was a clarifying conversation between the two.
During the compulsory break , two employees of WikiLeaks who remained anonymous, the “Techniker” and the “Architect”, who took care of the programming aspects from 2008 and 2009, are introduced. It was only since their collaboration that WikiLeaks had been decentralized across various states and thus protected from censorship measures. Due to lack of money and the need for maintenance of the technical systems, the online work of WikiLeaks had to be largely stopped from Christmas 2009. The publication of the intercepted pager messages of September 11, 2001 had exhausted funds. After the ideas from WikiLeaks were presented at the 26th Chaos Communication Congress in Berlin, enough money was again donated for the operating costs. As early as January 2010, it was possible to upload documents to WikiLeaks in a protected manner. Now that the financial problems were settled, an internal dispute arose over the use of the money and the future direction of WikiLeaks. The “forced break” was then ended with the publication of the collateral murder video in April 2010.
The chapter A law for Iceland leads back to Reykjavík, where WikiLeaks participated in the preparation of the Icelandic Modern Media Initiative (IMMI) in early 2010 as a realization of the idea of a new kind of media legislation. Rop Gonggrijp and Jake Appelbaum , who came to Iceland to help, are also mentioned in the book . After negotiations with Internet providers and companies that were affected by the change in the law, there was only one rarely attended hearing in the Icelandic parliament. Later that year, however, Iceland began implementing IMMI, which protects online investigative journalism . The WikiLeaks group, who lived in a confined space in a hotel, neglected their previous work and began to argue. According to Domscheit-Berg, this particularly affected Assange and himself after he began to criticize Assange. Domscheit-Berg left Iceland in February 2010 to avoid these conflicts and from then on only had contact with Julian Assange via chat.
In Back in Berlin , Domscheit-Berg describes, in addition to private experiences, that Assange was increasingly changing, the Twitter account of WikiLeaks, which was intended as the mouthpiece of the group, claimed for himself personally and the idea of being monitored and followed was disproportionately large took in his imagination. From Domscheit-Berg's point of view, Assange claimed the group's performance for himself and couldn't stand it when someone else was portrayed as the “founder” of WikiLeaks, even inadvertently and unofficially.
The next chapter, The Collateral Murder Video , includes work in Iceland immediately following the release of the video of the American air strikes in Baghdad that took place in July 2007 and resulted in civilian casualties. While Assange and others, including the newly added journalists Kristinn Hrafnsson and Ingi Ragnar Ingason , worked in a rented house in Reykjavík, Domscheit-Berg participated from home. After leaving Wiesbaden, he had settled in Berlin and no longer wanted to share the nomadic life of Assange. A chat recording printed in the book shows the increasing alienation between himself and Assange. Domscheit-Berg worked in the background to prepare a press conference in Washington, at which the video was presented on April 5, 2010 by Assange. In retrospect, he regards the journalistic processing of the raw material as a mistake, even if it ensured that the publication received considerable attention worldwide and marked the breakthrough for WikiLeaks.
In The arrest of Bradley Manning dealing of employees of WikiLeaks with the arrest of the alleged informant is Bradley Manning described. The US soldier Manning, who was arrested in May 2010, is accused of having passed on the video material underlying the collateral murder and the cables from the American ambassadors that were later published to WikiLeaks. Domscheit-Berg sums up that it was natural for WikiLeaks to support him in his situation in prison without being able to know for himself whether he was the whistleblower in these cases. The author sums up, however, that the relief effort, which was supposed to consist of appeals for donations for defense costs and a dedicated server for the support campaign, never really got off to a good start and was ultimately largely taken over by Manning's friends and relatives. WikiLeaks has, he expressly includes himself here, "shamefully failed" in this case. As too often, he had come to terms with what Assange said to him. He had also come to the opinion that it was initially not advisable to publish further documents concerning the USA in order not to provide the authorities with starting points for further investigations and not to endanger the sources, which are in a weaker position than WikiLeaks.
But that is exactly what happened with Afghan War Diary . The new media strategy in the Afghan war diaries is the title of the next chapter. Domscheit-Berg rejects the accusation that WikiLeaks has often made of predominantly dealing with American politics and neglecting issues from other parts of the world: The USA is involved in most global political conflicts and it is obvious that it is also for economic reasons Waged war. Apart from that, the language problem that would have arisen when assessing Hebrew or Korean documents, for example, was not resolved. Incidentally, however, Assange deliberately chose the United States in order to measure its own size against that of the opponent. In contrast to the procedure with collateral murder, contact was made with well-known media houses, namely the New York Times , the Guardian and Spiegel, even before the original documents were published, most of which came from American soldiers and intelligence services in Afghanistan . While WikiLeaks took care of the technical preparation of the approximately 90,000 documents, the journalists took over their inspection and further research. It was their condition that the names of those affected had to be deleted before the publication in order to forestall acts of revenge by the Taliban on Afghan informants of the US Army. The information about this necessity reached Domscheit-Berg too late, however, only a few days before the set publication date, July 25, 2010. Even with the aid of technical means, it was no longer possible in the short time available to list all names and the To remove contexts that could have led to their determination from the material. As a result, about 15,000 documents had to be withheld and about a hundred undesirable names appeared in the remaining material. According to Domscheit-Berg, nobody was harmed. He blames Assange for being informed too late about the need for these deletions. Four days before the publication, Assange had presented a list of tasks via chat that could no longer be solved in the short time. The precise simultaneous publication by WikiLeaks and the media could no longer be realized, a mistake that was not noticeable externally. In the incipient mutual dependence on WikiLeaks and the media, Domscheit-Berg did not feel sufficiently supported by Assange:
"I was stuck in the twofold dilemma of those who stick to rules themselves while dealing with someone who uses rules as an argument, especially when they fit into his own business."
The relationship between Domscheit-Berg and Assange deteriorated further in the sense of mutual distrust that arose under the pressure of having published such explosive documents. According to Domscheit-Berg, Assange approached that of his political opponents in the military with his language, was very tense and made wrong decisions, such as entrusting highly secret material to an unreliable 17-year-old, which he promptly passed on.
The section on the Prosecution in Sweden deals with the group's handling of allegations by the Swedish judiciary against Julian Assange. Since August 2010, Julian Assange has been investigated, initially for attempted rape in two cases. The allegations were later tempered, but the investigation remained in place. Domscheit-Berg describes how the lack of face-to-face meetings and a clear distribution of tasks now affected the handling of these allegations, which were also harmful to the overall project. Assange was not prepared to withdraw from the public for a while in order not to harm WikiLeaks. His claim that he was a victim of "dirty tricks" by the American government was not conducive to the common cause. At that time, WikiLeaks was busy processing the abundant internal material that had been received about the accident at the 2010 Love Parade . Despite resistance in the group to Assange, who pushed through the new line, WikiLeaks no longer published incoming documents, as intended, in the order in which they were received, but with the aim of achieving the greatest possible public impact.
In the subsequent short chapter My Suspension , Domscheit-Berg explains how tensions within the WikiLeaks team intensified and a polarization between Assange and the rest of the team was emerging. In a chat that the American magazine Wired later published and the minutes of which are available in the book, Domscheit-Berg was finally "suspended" by Assange on August 26, 2010; In the following, he was denied the opportunity to access the internal mail server of Wikileaks, which meant that he no longer had access to his own scheduling. Domscheit-Berg also describes how internally he had already distanced himself from WikiLeaks in matters of content. He lied to the public about the fact that WikiLeaks temporarily consisted of only one server and two people who almost alone checked the authenticity of the documents submitted, at the risk of making mistakes. The supporters who offered to help were insufficiently or not at all involved in this work.
Under the title The dispute escalated further describes how WikiLeaks became practically incapable of acting as a result of the internal quarrels. The team split up and the “architect” rebuilt the technical system to the state it was in before its considerable improvements. The group split up and Domscheit-Berg, Snorasson and the “architect” started the preparatory work for their own new project, OpenLeaks . On September 25, 2010 Domscheit-Berg made his exit from WikiLeaks public in a press interview.
As a result of these events, the date for the publication of the Iraqi war diaries, the nearly 400,000 American military documents that came to be known as the Iraq War Logs , had to be postponed for one month to October 22nd. In addition to the still unclear financial details in this context, Domscheit-Berg criticizes the fact that the technical ways of publication were carelessly organized in such a way that access by the American secret service NSA was not excluded. The "technician" and Assange would not have managed to restore the previous level of security, although they would have been able to do so with good cooperation. With this, Domscheit-Berg also justified why he did not return the leaked material, which was on the WikiLeaks servers until the split of the group, but kept it in a better secure place. Attempts by the "Nanny", an Australian friend of Assange, who had previously intervened in an advisory and collaborative manner at WikiLeaks, to reverse the split in the group had failed. Assange threatened to publish "compromising material" about Domscheit-Berg.
The last chapter of the main text is entitled The American Dispatches and Julian's Arrest . It thus initially refers to the publications of American embassy cables that have become known as Cablegate and the considerable worldwide echo that they triggered. Because the Guardian had already got hold of the documents due to the negligence of the 17-year-old WikiLeaks helper "Penguin X", they had to be published as soon as possible if WikiLeaks were to play a role, even if the time appeared premature. Regarding the temporary arrest and the investigation by the Swedish judiciary against Assange, Domscheit-Berg advocates a clear separation of these allegations from the criticism of WikiLeaks. He makes it clear that, in his view, Assange's extradition to the USA must be prevented, that he himself stands behind the publications of WikiLeaks and that, on the other hand, he expects Assange to face the allegations of the Swedish judiciary. However, he expresses clear criticism that Israel Shamir, an anti-Semite and Holocaust denier, is involved in the work for WikiLeaks and that Assange supports this incomprehensibly.
From the afterword:
“Our society needs responsible citizens. People who don't ask critical questions out of fear of being disappointed. Our society needs alert individuals who do not hand over their responsibility to the messiah, leader or leader, but are willing and able to differentiate good from bad information and make good decisions based on good information. "
reception
Reactions at WikiLeaks
Julian Assange, for his part, became known around the turn of 2010/2011 that he was working on an autobiographical book. The work is to be published worldwide by the Scottish publisher Canongate Books and in the USA by Alfred A. Knopf . The German-language rights are held by the Kiepenheuer & Witsch publishing house . Assange says he does not want to write the book, but needs the money to defend himself legally against the allegations in Sweden and to support WikiLeaks.
Four days before Inside WikiLeaks was published, Cryptome published excerpts from the English translation without being authorized to do so, which gave rise to speculation and discussion on the Internet. In particular, the fact that Domscheit-Berg and other dropouts had taken parts of the software and unpublished material with them when they left WikiLeaks became the subject of discussion and resulted in the demand of the lawyer Johannes Eisenberg , who works for Assange, that the material be returned. At the beginning of the press conference on the occasion of the presentation of his book, Domscheit-Berg defended his approach and justified it with the unwillingness of Assange to take part in the discussion about the whereabouts of the material, which he did not know in detail and would like to return. He pointed out the responsibility to the senders of the documents and brought up another controversial aspect with the work of Israel Shamir for WikiLeaks.
Reviews (selection)
The mirror
Michael Sontheimer reported on the publication of the book at Spiegel Online . He praised the work as exciting read, which also offers new information. In his article, however, the criticism prevailed. The book is sometimes chatty, redundant and too detailed.
FAZ
Detlef Borchers found more neutral words in FAZ.NET , but wrote of a "charge book". Referring to the beginning of the fight between WikiLeaks and OpenLeaks , or their protagonists Assange and Domscheit-Berg, already referred to in the press as the "War of the Roses" and "Mud Fight" , he switched to the theory of the "Wilderness of Mirrors", which was developed by a former Counterintelligence chief of the CIA, James Jesus Angleton , was developed. “Secrets tend to consume their bearers. The greater the burden of secrecy, the greater the assumed clandestine resistance of the former owner of the data, the greater the paranoia, the faster and more extensive the mutual suspicions. ”This also applies to Internet activists.
The time
In the review by Karsten Polke-Majewski at Zeit Online , reference was also made to the intense friendship between the two protagonists, which later broke up, and explained that Julian Assange's increasingly egocentric and dictatorial, security-conscious and paranoia behavior is not only explained by his Personality, but also from his intensive preoccupation with the topics WikiLeaks had to do with: the ideology of Scientology and the military style of leadership. In the course of his work against the military, he acquired the military vocabulary himself. Domscheit-Berg himself addresses this aspect in his book:
"You are suspended because of disloyalty, lack of subordination and destabilization in a crisis situation."
Although Ijoma Mangold complained that Domscheit-Berg did not write in a very self-reflective manner, he reviewed the book in the print edition of the time as a “gripping and illuminating document of the times ” with references to everyday German life, which describes a network-savvy and politically engaged milieu. The combination of technological knowledge, a vision and determination have brought the protagonists of WikiLeaks far up until they threatened to lose their grip. They then failed because of self-contradictions and human inadequacies. Mangold made comparisons between WikiLeaks and founding a religion with a subsequent schism .
Daily mirror
Christian Wermke referred in the Tagesspiegel mainly to the ambivalent relationship between Domscheit-Berg and Assange. He quoted from the book:
“Sometimes I hate him so much that I'm afraid I could use physical violence if I ran into him again. Then I think again that he needs my help. "
Meedia.de
Daniel Bröckerhoff wrote on meedia.de that both the critics of Julian Assange would find confirmation in the book and those who would see Domscheit-Berg's criticism as the revenge of a disappointed employee. He recommended the book to anyone who wanted to understand the WikiLeaks phenomenon in its entirety.
Wirtschaftswoche
The topic was treated from a different angle in the Wirtschaftswoche portal . Jürgen Berke focused on uncovering the alleged tax fraud at the Swiss bank Julius Baer , which WikiLeaks announced within a few days in early 2008. The documents were given to WikiLeaks by the bank's former employee Rudolf Elmer . Berke described the corresponding chapter The fight against the bears as worth reading.
Southgerman newspaper
In the Süddeutsche Zeitung, Niklas Hoffmann described it as a shortcoming that Domscheit-Berg had written a very action-oriented book that did not go into enough detail on the conceptual, anarchist- influenced principles that inspired WikiLeaks' actions. The worldview of role models like Pierre-Joseph Proudhon , Gustav Landauer or Rudolf Rocker would not be adequately explained. A striking revelation, however, is that WikiLeaks has presented itself to the outside world, at least temporarily, in terms of human and material resources, than it was in reality.
World Socialist Web Site
The Trotskyist World Socialist Web Site was very critical of the book in a post on its website and sided with Julian Assange. She implied that the book helped "muzzle Assange and WikiLeaks," and implied a connection to the United States' efforts to do so.
English language edition
The Australian publisher Scribe Publications announced in December 2010 that it had acquired the rights to an English-language edition and had the book translated. April 2011 is planned as the publication date for Australia and New Zealand . It was later brought forward to February. Shortly after Scribe Publications, the Australian Crown Publishing Group , which belongs to the Random House publishing group and thus to Bertelsmann AG , announced in New York that it had acquired the rights. The book was published on February 15, 2011 in the United States and thirteen other countries.
filming
In early March 2011 it was announced that the film studio DreamWorks SKG from Hollywood director Steven Spielberg had acquired the film rights to two Inside books via WikiLeaks, including Inside WikiLeaks . On October 31, 2013 the film starts under the title Inside Wikileaks - The Fifth Estate (original title: The Fifth Estate ).
