 You probably know Julian Assange as well as his colleagues and friends and associates were extensively surveilled during his time at the embassy and our next speaker Andy is going to talk about procedural and technical details of that surveillance, which is what we are really interested in. That's why that was full, so Andy, technical aspects of the surveillance in and around the Ecuadorian embassy in London is giving a little round of applause to Andy. Well, let's start with the technical aspects of the surveillance in and around the embassy of Ecuadorian in London, presented by Andy. Okay, good morning everybody. Hello, actually the second time, well, this is going to be the second time I'm going to be here. The first one was the first day, but well, the video, I would say CAA, but the video failed, I think it was the CAA, but I don't think it's being paranoid, well, I'm going to repeat the talk now, or we have a problem with the, oh shit, we have a problem with the slide, we're seeing how we fix it, let's try it again, now it works. Well, the presentation is going to cover some, but no, this presentation is going to cover some, but no, but not all aspects of the surveillance. The first stuff that happened on the wireless network, clearly happened on the network, there were more things that made us think they might be, there were a lot more things going through the embassy, we thought something was going through the, with Meta Waves, with Onda Meta, in the embassy, and that gave us to know that there were a lot more other things going through, but I'm going to try to explain everything with the most detail that I can. The second thing I have to say, what I'm presenting to you is what Undercover Global has done, they are being judged, the owner of the company has received instructions from other parties, since it has been modifying protocols and other things, protocols and other information technology, well, and other of the causes that you have, which has been prosecuted, it is money laundering and bribery, and well, for having, for having been spying on people at the time of the presentation, at the moment of this presentation, this is not, he has not been judged yet, and the material that I am presenting is surveillance through the United States and Great Britain. Well, this is the structure of the presentation, I thought I wanted to give you a structure of the presentation in general, a general idea, well, the operation was called Hotel Operation, that was the official name of the operation, and so to be able to be in charge of the people who arrived, they had their first terminology, and most of this was instructed by the intelligence of the United States, what is what was instructed by them, what kind of data were collected by the embassy, and for example, there were introduced to update, for example, the type of furniture that was in the embassy to include more types of surveillance, what Julian did to be against, to be against the surveillance is what the basic idea is that Julian took the idea that any hacker should be free, and in this case has turned off one of the highest prices, having to be captive in an embassy, and has only been carried forward through the recognition of the community, but as it is, the general idea is to try to show you what is the history of what is behind in the first stage in which he was in the Ecuador embassy, and how it was, for example, that the surveillance cameras worked, which were pending the visitors who were going to see him, but nevertheless there were three large parts in this story, three phases that I would like you to understand the first was under the mandate of President Obama and that in the season when President Correa was in Ecuador, after that there was a phase in which there was a international security conference focused on protecting the Ecuadorian embassy, and of the Spanish company that had a great client, we will see that he was particularly interested in the Ecuador embassy, and how this company was selling to third-person people and receiving higher to take care of a yacht, so there is ongoing investigations also where the money came from and so on, and however in phase two, after some publications have been said that the Ecuadorian government, well, they began to change the protocols and the instructions, and there was also pressure from the American friends of the United States to have bugs, audio users and cameras to have much better surveillance. It is documented that this has been in the name of the United States, because we have the electronic emails and the lawyers have analyzed these electronic emails and we know that this was how these instructions were given. Sometimes his English was not very good, but sometimes his electronic emails had a very good English, and that is suspicious that it was not him, but it was other people, in this case the CIA. Well, and in the end I am going to explain the other phase. What I want to explain first is also that in April 2018 two things happened. The new Ecuadorian government made an agreement with the United States about the investigation against Assange to give them a reason to be able to do this. It was justified by the sense of avoiding the manipulation of the election, and the second thing was that it hired a second company, an Ecuadorian company that began to reinforce the security measures and the idea was that the information could be used in court, because all the information that had been obtained before was basically illegal. It was also an attempt of extortion by the director of WikiLeaks, the director at that time of WikiLeaks, and there have been publications about these attempts to extortion in April 2018. It would be good to point out that all the belongings of Julian Assange, his computer team and his equipment had been confiscated in the name of a cooperation agreement. What you see here is a facade of the low plant of the Ecuadorian embassy. It is not all the building, it is only what goes to a street. But the commercial center, Harrod, was nearby. On the side of the building is the emergency exit of the embassy, and what you see on the right is the patio. This is the entrance. In this same building there are several embassies, for example the embassy in Colombia is on the right, and there are more embassies, I do not remember any more. This is the entrance vestibule, and we have different camera perspectives. What we have here is a general view of the cameras installed before the updates in December 2017. What you see on the top left is the room and on the right is the office together. This is where most of the meetings with visitors, for example with the lawyers, had a place. And the green area is where all the sectors that were being watched by cameras were shown. Under the right there was a small bedroom where he had his bed. You can also see the entrance. On the outside there were some cameras, one for example of 8 megapixels, a monster that made me think that I also want a camera like this. But as you can see here the cameras that are outside. Well, you can see what the idea of this is. You can even capture some events that I am going to show you again. Well, as you can see the mall is on the left and how are the entrances. Well, the hotel was the official code of the security measures. It had its own terminology. The director was the ambassador. When they were talking about the embassy hotel, when they were referring to the hotel, they were referring to Juliana Saunsch. And this involved who could have access to the building and how the visitors were going to be treated. There was an official representation, an official person of the security service of the Secretary of the country, Gabriel Apaís, who was Secretary of the Ambassador, and was in charge of supervising the companies and how they worked, the security companies. We are talking more or less about 20,000 people who were going to the embassy for a month. 20,000 dollars per month that had been subordinated for the company to have access. This gives them more or less an idea of how the company accepted these modifications and how they made it known that they were in the name of Ecuador, but not of the United States, in fact. Well, there were other things that were also fun that I'm going to show you. The standard procedures that were there, they were that in the door they had to show their passport, there was a metal detector and they had to leave all the electronic devices in the lobby at the entrance with a diary in which they had to sign with the passport, then a guard would direct the visitor to a conference room, then the door would close and every week there was always a report where everything that had happened was mentioned. What the visitors would have was that the name, the reason for the visit, all of their pages with entry stamps and visas would be copied as well. All the visits and all the entry pages also appeared maybe in a description of how they looked, if they came alone or not, a description of how they got there and how they left. Here we have a lot of material of passport copies. This is an example of what happened at the entrance in November of 2016. It's one of the lawyers who arrived, who played the timbre, entered, was checked, was checked his passport. And finally on top of that you see one of the guards doing some upgrades on the cameras. How it was done was shown in the whole video, but he needs to give that to you. He needs to give that to you, he needs to give that to you. He needs to check his wallet, his bag to see if, to make sure that the visitors didn't bring a recording device or other type of device. What we see is documentation of one of the meetings. This is actually me, but this is something boring. Let me show you something else. This is the only positive that I have, unfortunately. This person from Sri Lanka, who also brought a cat. And yes, of course, the meeting that I like the most, but the others are pretty boring. The modifications for third parties that were made to the building in the beginning of 2017, after the communication changed to a system of encryption that had to do with the change in the US regime. The administration of Donald Trump was taking possession of the US government and it began to complicate the relationship of power. They started to pick up, in the middle of the year, the original Huttus from the network. They started to take over half a year of new recordings and then, morally, he flew from Spain later to the United States. And he would meet his American friends and send new instructions. They also started to optimize some parts of the system. For example, there were some problems with the camera filters, which later I will tell you a little bit more about how General Sacha had dealt with this. Also, the United States had asked them to have direct access to the cameras. So, what was done was to install them in the embassy so that they could have access to the Ecuadorian people and the people from the United States of America. This is one of the emails that I have. I don't speak Spanish, but here it is talking about the access to video transmissions where you have one for the North Americans and the other for the Ecuadorians. And I show them here only as a reference to the North American service. And then they started to do some other things. For example, they installed a phone on the doors so that they could have a phone or a telecommunicator. So there was a desk in the vestibule where the security guards were. And then if they heard the name of the person who wanted to enter, they would record. And then the people who were in security started to take recordings of the visitors' voices. They would open the door, they would take their passports, they would close the door with the person outside. In that time, while the person was outside the visitor, they would take copies of the passports and then they would enter. They would take all the email and MSI of the different mobile phones. And for example, here they would photograph all the items. For example, there are examples of a national security guard. This is my phone and a cryptocamera. And this is an Italian activist. For some reason, she always travels with all her collection of USB sticks. And as you can see, they took out the SIM cards and to photograph them all. Here you can get an idea of the documentation of the meetings of December 2017 with the new cameras that also had audio. You can imagine that you can see that the quality has increased, clearly. However, that was not enough. Some of the meetings included white noise. Well, they had some problems with the white noise. The cameras that were in the ceiling were not enough. Therefore, they made other modifications to improve. Here you can see where they ended up later. As you can see, they played the main role. There was the extensor and one thing down there. Some of the plastics out there, they took out the plastic and put the camera, the vigilance, on the microphone. The only issue they had was that it was a battery drop model. They had to replace the battery and the SD card, which they did that every 12 hours, 26 minutes, actually. That was the capacity of the thing. But you get the idea, they looked into all of the things here on the left side. By the way, you see the noise generator, but they looked at all the art objects, all the kid stuff, to see what could be suitable before they identified the fire extinguisher. It's just the best thing to do. Here you would see that Julian also installed a loudspeaker next to the window. There was not only one loudspeaker above the table for the white noise generator, but also directly at the window. Here you see very briefly on the top the loudspeaker over the table. But they also opened during the survey all the electrical wiring things, the light switches, and so on, to see if there would be any sealable places. They also did that in the bathroom number two. Bathroom number two was originally the woman's bathroom, which also had a shower. It was then later more or less Julian's personal bathroom, where he also made the most critical meetings with his lawyers and associates while running the shower, as you would see it in every better spy movie. However, what they did was behind it, you can see here these boxes above the cabinet. They installed the microphones above all these boxes, and we don't know if they had good audio quality. Through the things in the kitchen, for example, this could also have a microphone in the kitchen. The other aspect that Morales discussed with the people in the embassy when he came back from his travels, is that he asked them if they could accidentally leave one of the doors open and kicknap him. And if someone could come and kidnap him. Or, for example, if they could put poison in the food or other possibilities of poisoning. But, for example, this opens the door to something that would be completely illegal. This is not the United States. What do they care about laws? Well, they don't really care about the law, what is legal or not. So, for example, they went through all the doors and analyzed how a kidnapping could happen, for example, or the movements that someone could have, how they could kidnap him through the embassy. I have this video, for example, that you can imagine, you can have an idea of how it worked. Well, we can identify the person who did it. We have three videos of this type, of the rooms back and forth, and they also considered what happens if it is through the window, instead of through the door. This is still part of the plan. For example, to identify all the windows and to name them. For example, how they could identify all the windows, how they could enter above, for example. In 2017, they installed all two microphones in the exit and above the toilet, in the second bathroom. They also discussed that they wanted another room, where Julian had a small library and a place where that room was connected to his people. But to be able to watch it, they would have to have watched it through the embassy's room. But for that, they would have to have heard it through the doors. To be able to do that, the United States introduced them to take out a spoon, a sample of the wall, to know what kind of surveillance they had to install to be able to go through the wall. Well, here we also see other places where there were microphones and how they documented their work. Here, for example, there is photographic documentation or video of the update of the cameras. This is the updated diagram of the camera installation. You can see all the cameras now are four megapixels, and now the conference room has two. And so they can cover the whole room. No, I don't show you the two positives, but now we can see that all the rooms have been covered by the surveillance. This noise generator that Julian installed was really a headache. Other people have told me this, and they have told me that if you sit in a room with a noise generator, you still have a headache. It's pretty tough to do that for two hours. However, the Americans had problems with that, and they had already been trying to penetrate the embassy from the outside with lasers that shoot through the windows. You can detect vibrations in the windows, and that way you can take measurements of the sound that is reflected. They were able to analyze it this way. It was one of the measures to counteract the white noise. We have to see in which places these stickers were placed. This was not only in the conference room, but also in other windows. In fact, the cameras that were outside, we can see a recording of a North American person walking outside with the laser machine, with the laser ray. What you see here is an idea that is not the camera. There are other things that have happened. I would like to show you just for entertainment, that some times this was not only spying on Americans for the benefit of the North Americans, but also for the security system. At the end of 2017, these things happened. During this year, the new government of Ecuador was elected, but they had not taken possession of the government. That is, the situation was still a responsibility of the previous government. They had agreed with some countries as a diplomat in one of their other embassies, where he would look for a job in other embassies. On December 21, he had a picture from that meeting. What we see here is a meeting on December 21. At that time, the Americans were on alert. There they made sure that the people were not near the extinguisher. They even introduced that the guards were outside the door and heard through the door. That same night, the next day, they issued the international arrest warrant for Julian. They knew that the plan to arrest Julian as a diplomat, which was the previous idea, would not work. They knew that it would not work. This is how this term of active intelligence comes to be produced. At the end, I have brought some resource links of cases that have been happening on the back-planet. If you have been reported on the back-planet.info, if you want to support this type of investigation, you can check it there. We also collect money to help all these cases of surveillance. That is all I want to tell you. We have a little time for questions. I forgot to mention that the sticker is on the windows. This building is under CCTV and Morales has told his people that the British law has changed and they would require the sticker. What happened was that these stickers were now required to be arrested. That was the justification they were given. The justification was that the British government had changed the law and that the windows had to be defined. The building was under CCTV surveillance. If we go with the questions now, we also have questions on the internet. In this case, I am not only going to answer questions, but I will also suggest how to solve this. We have a question from the internet. A short question. About the lasers. What is the goal of the lasers and the technology of the lasers and the stickers of the stickers? I am not going to say it clearly, but the stickers reflect everything from the outside. The way they are attached to the window separates them from the internal noise. The truth is that I do not have details of how this really works. In a way, it helped the Americans in their laser technology to capture the vibration and capture the voice of what was happening. It seems that there is no... Maybe I want to... Yes, we have another question. Yes. Hello. It is not necessary that you tell us the source, but without telling us the source, you can tell us where you got all these videos and this information you showed us. Well, as a lawyer and lawyer, the truth is that I am an activist journalist. Therefore, I cannot reveal it, but this is in fact being investigated. I have discussed this with Julian. And I should say, before I go into detail in all this and look at this material for hours and days, of course, Julian and I would have... Julian and I would have had a good situational awareness if we had thought that we were paranoid, but in reality what we had was a good... We realized that we had something good. We have another question. At the beginning, it was mentioned that there are several embassies in the same building and that is what happens. It is about the vestibules of the building in general and this can be considered a neutral area because there are several embassies. Well, the corridor is from Great Britain, so all the apartments in that building are private. Well, maybe there is a better... In English, I don't know, but the diplomatic police, which is better than the regular police in Great Britain, they are not authorized to enter the embassy, but they are in the corridor in front of the door. But for example, they could also hear the conversation if one is talking to a guard, for example. In the first months, there was a lot of police outside. And as the police was on the side, they installed a vehicle that said police conference in which they had this vehicle that was constantly in front of them. We have one more question from the internet. Have you been approached by the CIA or by some other agency about these security operations? Not in a direct way in which they have talked to me directly, but in terms of surveillance, for me, when I'm, for example, coming in the morning on Heathrow, in London, they asked me the same question. The official, for example, asked me the same questions three times and repeat and repeat the questions without even listening to the answers. And at some point, I realized that after so many questions, there was a whole fucking day. So what happened is that after all those questions someone came behind me, because I followed him all day. And that's a form of intimidation that made me realize that I'm not welcome, that that's what's happening all the time. And that's actually going to be part of my life. We have another question. Thank you very much for the chat. I would like to continue with what you just mentioned, to be under surveillance. And I would like to talk a little more about the fire extinguisher. Well, I'm going to give you a chat in the next few months about the surveillance of my microphones that you may have asked me. For example, there was an experience that occurred to me, and at some point in the night, of course, it's a beautiful loss of quality of life and of becoming a little bit different in your behavior towards other people. And, well, change the behavior towards other people. For example, this is how you realize the situation. Basically, if you look at it from a balance of... Basically, if you look at it from a balance of... between the measures and the options, they have an endless astronomy military budget that is incredibly military, very big, and we have cryptography and encrypted phones. My guess is that I'm not doing anything illegal. I'm just studying this material and this case. And that includes, for example, photos of the bathroom. And for me, it's very clear that this is not about him having violated any laws. So it's very clear that he has violated the law, but that it's a political case, it's intimidation, and they want to give the president a... like hanging him from a tree to give an example that he should not be doing. On the positive side, he has shown that it's possible that the internet can provide more information about the government and about the secrets for all of us. And that has consequences, it has a price. This seems to be becoming a bigger dystopia, bigger, bigger. Let's take another question from the audience. Thank you very much for the presentation. It was very important to see the details of these images and the details that we were told about how the embankment was being mixed up. And as you mentioned, all of this was done with complicity with the embankment, with the Ecuadorian embankment, even though you tell us that there was no long-term relationship. And I wonder if there is a way that you can defend yourself or that you can try to counteract it and that you can consider this as a violation. Well, what I can say is that the Spanish lawyers of Julian with a lot of pressure and also with the Spanish judges have examined the evidence and the owner of the company is under arrest. The computers and the hard drive, USB sticks have been confiscated. That's what Julian's main extradition case looks like. That's going to be very important for Julian's main extradition case. Some entities of the United States, or some entities of the United States that are located in the United States, have not been able to develop their defense in a legal way. And that would be the first argument. They say things like in any normal case, this would be the end. The lawyers have told me that in any normal case, this would be the end. This wouldn't happen. No one expects a fair trial in this case. Well, we also have to say that he was under surveillance restriction for 24 hours a day. And he clearly is not a terrorist. And clearly with this we see that this is not a normal case. The regulations of the United Nations of Torture and this is completely out of what has happened. Clearly this is not going to be a fair trial. Of course, there are problems with this, but with the United Nations and the United States. What we have to do is to demand from the British embassy that things have to be more human. When the cut is the fear is that he's kind of being killed right now as we speak. The risk, the concern we have is that he's going to be killed before the trial ends. We have another question. Do you know if the Spanish company continues to be in charge of security in the London embassy? Well, the contract of this company has been canceled since 2018 and that's not happening anymore. What I can also say is that an important aspect of this is that the embassy had their eight hour shifts there because they were protected witnesses of the Spanish government and they were not happy with what they were doing. They didn't want us to have a problem with the official content of what happened. There was a certain resistance to what had happened. Something of this resistance did not share that money. The other resistance did not share that money. This company started to charge more money, but that was not shared. The people who were working there are unhappy that they were sitting with Julian all day. We have another question from the internet. How do you explain all the effort that has been taken to intimidate you, what you mentioned? How have you been watching it? I have a question for you. In your opinion, how many security services and information from the governments can be in this room right now? I don't know if I answered the first question completely, but the first question could have introduced me the other way. I could have said, go to the Mueller report and go to page 46. Look, I brought Julian food. I brought him clothing. I brought him clothes, food, packages, sticks. I could never prove what I had not brought him. They told me that I was the one who brought the USB sticks. I will never be able to prove that. I am in a small whole foundation that works for the freedom of information, that has worked in different cases. And the truth is that I would not be surprised if they wanted to kill Wikipedia instead of Julian Assange. And of course, I'm not the only one that's being followed. How many security agencies in this room? Out there on the stream, I see 23 different. In the stream, I see 23 different. Five to eight. It's been quiet the entire time. The man next to you seems a little suspicious. What can I say? From being blackmailed, maybe that was Laos' idea about it. But of course, not all aspects of WikiLeaks can be subject to full disclosure. Because there are protected witnesses, information that has been protected, that we can't... And other sources that we can't comment on, and clearly as a medium project, are things that we can't... that we have to protect. We have another question. Is there someone from the CIA? No, let's move on to the microphone. It's not brutal. There are some diplomatic consequences in this case, because we have the British government, the CIA, and it violates the Ecuadorian embassy. The Ecuadorian embassy, installing cameras, is not something that I understand as being correct. I would think that in any normal European country, there would be an official investigation, for example, of other embassies in the same building. Great Britain has not only decided to leave the European Union, but also to get closer to the United States. The truth is that I don't think the current government of the West is allowed to... I think the current government of Ecuador is quite pro-US. They have made this agreement with the United States to start the investigation. So, I don't know if the strongest thing going on is the Spanish investigation. There have been things against Victoria about secret services, but this is ongoing and it's still in process. All these links are in my WikiProp, where I'm collecting all the material, especially, for example, of Spanish news. And I think they will learn a lot more in the next few weeks. All of this is in progress. We have now a question from the CIA. That was the truth of the CIA. I would be very surprised to find evidence, because one of the main characteristics of vigilance is that you cannot prove who it was. That's exactly the confirmation. And so to say, the proof... We have evidence that things are going on, but we don't have evidence. Well, that's almost the definition of vigilance made well, because... I don't know why I'm telling you that, but, well... Well, what happened is that the way the cash was transferred from... Well, from this person who transferred money, the truth is that... Not all things were transferred by Sheldon Eddison, but the truth is that this was quite... an international intelligence operator, quite rare. He can... He has cash in Las Vegas. He has... He has made espionage operations in... Macao, accused of wikip leaks. He's a very interesting person, he's 93 years old, he's involved in business in Macao, in business in China, in business with the North Korean press. Actually, I would also like to know about some of the fantasies of a friend of mine who's really in trouble. Yes. Well, if you have fantasies of how to get him out of there, not only of how to fight against the CIA, but also of how to get him out of where he is. We have one more question from the internet. What is it? What would happen? The question is, what would happen with wikileaks if Julian Assange is in a perpetual chain and for the last comment from the internet. It's a thank you for the talk and a request that I can give again. I don't speak for wikileaks, but I know the editor-in-chief and he's publishing things. The last publication, for example, was two days ago, on the 27th. Of course, they decided to continue with the work. They think it's the only thing that they can do to demonstrate that this is a publishing organization, a publishing organization, a publishing company that has been working with media and so on, that has collaborated with other people in the media. Where they are located, they are much more supported by where they are located. Iceland is a very small country where there is a bank scandal where Cristian is now. He is in a more friendly environment with wikileaks. Well, for wikileaks or for the Great Britain, if someone has ideas of how to improve this, we have to collect ideas to get Julian out of jail. We can take another question. Since a long time ago, we had the suspicion that there was a request of extradition from Julian and now we know it. And well, this already seems that we can be sure that this is not a conspiracy theory. And now, how can we help the next Julian who we don't know if he is under surveillance and what we can do about it in the future? Well, as I know, what I know is that the publishing activities of wikileaks are not illegal. They have not been illegal. Yes, there is an investigation that is taking place, this investigation is about how the sources have been convinced of being sources. For example, the idea that Chelsea Manning was instructed to do something and to publish something later, the fact of publishing was not illegal. And as you know, Chelsea Manning is in jail again for not having testified against Julian exactly this question. It's not only what is in danger, what has been published, what has been published, but also the sources and how they are put into words in the collection of sources. It's difficult for me to say, difficult for me to say how this should continue. But in terms of transparency, it has been proven that this can be done through the internet and it has been fought by the people who are in power. And the truth is that we have the right to see what is happening. How are we going to do that with the new law in the United States, even in Great Britain? Well, here we are in Europe. Germany has a rather strange history. Other countries have a constitution that includes the human rights. I see that at least in countries like France, Germany, it's not wrong. We can't allow other countries, for example, the United States, this is still happening.
