Julian Assange Life

Julian Paul Assange (né Hawkins; 31 July 1971), an Australian editor, researcher, and campaigner who founded WikiLeaks in 2006.

In 2010, WikiLeaks revealed a string of leaks supplied by US Army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning.

The Collateral Murder video (April 2010), the Afghanistan war logs (July 2010,) and CableGate (November 2010).

Following the 2010 leaks, the US government opened a criminal probe into WikiLeaks in November 2010. After questioning him months before about allegations of sexual harassment, the government issued an international arrest warrant for Assange.

Assange denied the charges, saying they were just a pretext for him to be extradited from Sweden to the United States because of his participation in releasing classified American records.

On December 7, 2010, Assange surrendered to UK police, but was released on bail within ten days.

Early life

Assange was born Julian Paul Hawkins in Townsville, Queensland, on July 3rd, 1971, to Christine Ann Hawkins (b. A graphic artist (1951), a visual artist, and builder. The couple separated before their son was born. When Julian was a year old, his mother married Brett Assange, an actress for whom she owned a small theatre company and whom Julian regards as his father (chosing Assange as his father). About 1979, Christine and Brett Assange divorced. Christine later became involved with Leif Meynell, later identified as Leif Hamilton, who Julian Assange later referred to as "a member of an Australian cult" called The Family. They separated in 1982.

Julian had a nomadic childhood, living in more than 30 Australian towns and cities by the time he reached his mid-teens, when he settled with his mother and half-brother in Melbourne. Assange attended various schools in New South Wales, including Goolmangar Primary School (1979–1983) and Townsville State High School in Queensland, as well as being taught at home.

Assange completed a degree in computer science, mathematics, and physics at Central Queensland University (1994) and the University of Melbourne (2003-2006), but did not complete a degree.

Assange, a 16-year-old boy, started hacking under the name Mendax, claiming to be stolen from Horace's magnificente mendax (nobly lying). He and two others, "Trax" and "Prime Suspect," founded "the International Subversives," a hacker group they referred to as "the International Subversives." Assange may have been involved in the WANK (Worms Against Nuclear Killers) hack at NASA in 1989, according to David Leigh and Luke Harding, but this has never been proved.

The three hackers started attacking MILNET, a US military's classified information network, in the spring of 1991. "They had the idea for two years," Assange later said. The three students were also regularly hacked into the National University's computer networks. Assange was discovered hacking into the Melbourne master terminal of Nortel, a multinational telecommunications firm in Canada, in September 1991. Assange's phone number was intercepted by the Australian Federal Police (he was using a modem), searched his house at the end of October and then charged him with 31 counts of hacking and related offences in 1994. In December 1996, he pleaded guilty to 24 charges (the others were dismissed) and was ordered to pay A$2,100 in damages and released on a good behaviour bond. Since there was no such thing as malicious or mercenary intention or his disturbed childhood, he was given a lenient punishment.

Assange pleaded guilty of publishing and distributing child pornography in 1993. He used his computing skills to assist the Victoria Police Child Exploitation Unit in pursuing those responsible for publishing and distributing child pornography.

He was instrumental in the creation of Suburbia Public Access Network, one of Australia's first public internet service providers. He began programming in 1994, authoring or co-authoring the TCP port scanner Strobe (1995), updates to the Usenet transaction management program NNTPCache (1996), the Rubberhose deniable encryption scheme (1997), and Surfraw, a command-line interface for web-based search engines (2000). During this period, he hosted Best of Security, a website "giving tips on computer safety" that had 5,000 followers in 1996,: 45 and contributed to Suelette Dreyfus's Underground (1997), a book about Australian hackers. He co-founded Earthmen Technology in 1998.

Assange said he registered the domain leaks.org in 1999, but "didn't do anything with it." "This patent should concern people," he said of a patent that was granted to the National Security Agency in August 1999 for voice-data extraction techniques. Everyone's calls overseas are or will soon be intercepted, transcription, and archived in the bowels of an uncountable foreign spy agency.

Personal life

Assange married Teresa, a woman also in her teens, and they had a boy named Daniel in 1989. Daniel's custody struggled until 1999, after the couple separated and fought for custody. During the custody controversy, Assange's mother said his brown hair became white.

In his 2011 book Inside WikiLeaks: My Time with Julian Assange at the World's Most Dangerous Website, Daniel Domscheit-Berg said he had fathered several children. Assange mentioned having a daughter in an email in January 2007. Assange revealed he had another child, a son, in an open letter to French President Hollande in 2015. He said that his youngest child was French, as had the child's mother. He also said that his family was also vulnerable and harassed as a result of his work, leading them to change identities and minimize contact with him.

Assange began a relationship with Stella Moris, his South African-born solicitor, in 2015. They got married in 2017 and had two sons who were born in 2017 and 2019. Moris revealed their relationship in 2020 after she feared for Assange's life. The couple announced on Monday that they were taking legal proceedings against Deputy UK Prime Minister Dominic Raab and Jenny Louis, the governor of Belmarsh Prison. Raab and Louis accused Assange and Moris of denying their and their two children's human rights by blocking and delaying their marriages. The prison service announced on November 11 that it had permitted the couple to marry in Belmarsh Prison, and the couple married on March 232022.

Julian Assange has been spotted enjoying family time on the beach in his native Australia  just four weeks after the WikiLeaks founder agreed a US plea deal over charges of espionage against him. The controversial figure had until last month been a wanted man since 2010 after WikiLeaks released thousands of classified US military documents. He was also wanted on unrelated rape charges in Sweden. Assange has now been free for just one month following a deal in which he plead guilty to a single felony charge after the US dropped 17 other espionage charges against him.

QUENTIN LETTS: Ann Widdecombe had the crowd jiggling like nudists in a sandstorm

QUENTIN LETTS: Ann Widdecombe's hair has gone Julian Assange blonde and her left bosom bore a Reform rosette so big, it may once have been a badminton racquet. She tottered front of stage and bellowed in that voice that combines the lower notes of Margaret Rutherford and the upper ­register of a pinking Vespa engine. 'We will bring Common Sense back to Britain,' squeaky-boomed Ann, absorbing a chorus of wolf-whistles as if she heard such noises every time she passed a building site.
