    • Trivia
      The "reel to reel" machine shown to be tracing Julian's phone call, is actually a broadcast 1" videotape machine, which were primarily used to record and transmit video in television stations during the 80's and 90's.
    • Goofs
      Whenever modems are used to dial into a system, the sounds the modem makes when connecting to other systems, known as the carrier detect, is for a 56.6k modem, which weren't available until 1998. Modems more likely used at the time were most likely 300 - 2400 baud, which didn't feature the screeching sound of later modems.

    Bravo Julian Assange and WikiLeaks !!!
    WATCH THIS MOVIE !!!

    Don't watch, "We Steal Secrets," cuz that one isn't factual at all.

    WikiLeaks Army

    Calling on high What are we to do Countrymen lied but we had no clue Too busy making money to keep up with the Jones The land of milk and honey turned into dry bones

    Yes, the land of the free and the home of the brave has spent all our money putting souls in the grave Our leaders have lied Stealth is their reason Their alibi we've all committed treason

    They caught them and killed them engaged in denial but say it's all legal no need for a trial Spy on you and make you swear to God it's true Then tell you forget you not your business you're through

    And this one killed that one and that one killed this so forever they'll kill more to make it all bliss And powers belong to the ones who have guns or the ones who own the biggest mansions

    No more rights Some more laws Add some torture won't you No more truth Can't withdraw That's the best they can do And if you speak out for humanity's sake you ought fear for your life cuz that they can take

    Who shall be bold to the world I do ask just me and my poems to fulfill this task Nay I say to you all there's an army out there so stand straight and stand tall for they are prepared

    The invisible war being fought on mainframes is just a memoir of all their war games It's the truth of this matter that will set us all free and for that we can thank WikiLeaks army
