# The Global Intelligence Files

On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

No I meant the regular people are not mad about it. Assange wanted the
common folk to rise up against the insidious and evil diplomats. That has
not happened. In fact, most are defending our diplomats.
People are mad, but at Assange... not at the U.S. government.

Agree, the ego-trip and the anti-Americanism are extremely irritating. But
not sure it is true about people in the US being mad about the cables --
Gingrich called it terrorism, the Fox people are have been talking it up
big time, including WSJ which has contained some more insightful but still
rather alarmist responses to it.
As to the part about going after Russian info. The Chinese press has
raised the issue of other countries being targeted next, and even went so
far as to say that the entire scandal is a US conspiracy that will be used
against other states. The interesting thing about this to me is the fear
of exposure that has gone to all governments over the implications of this
type of web dissemination for leaks. Closed govts like china see real
danger here, as elsewhere with internet evolution. They are familiar with
how new info dissemination patterns, however innocuous they seem when
originated in the West, end up posing threats to their control (like
twitter for instance)

What a douche.
And I just want to be clear here... I have no problem with the leaks. I
think they're great. And I think it may be good on some level to have
stuff like this come out once in a while. What I can't stand is A) his
ego trip and B) his clear anti-Americanism. Take the time to read the
intro to Cablegate when you get the chance. This guy hates America more
than OBL.
What I love, however, is how nobody in the U.S. is mad about the cables.
Hell, I have a better opinion of State Department diplomats now than I
did before the cables. They actually said a few smart things here and
there. I actually gave them a tip of my hat.
I want to see him try to take on the Russians. He'd be going bald in an
Iceland hospital within days.

should we change our Stratfor motto now?
Predictive, insightful intelligence...in a post-Cablegate world.

This guy needs to take pills for his ego:
He suggested, not for the first time, that he believes his document
service has had a profound effect on world history: a**I believe
geopolitics will be separated into pre- and post-Cablegate phases.a**
Also, I have a question about this part (this is Assange's lawyer
saying how Wikileaks would release full versions of all files --
including names of spies, etc. -- if harmed):
WikiLeaks, Mr. Stephens said, has a**been subject to cyberattacks and
censorship around the world and they need to protect themselves ... This
is what they believe to be a thermonuclear device in the information
age.a**
Let's say the following scenario happens. Assange is arrested and
extradicted to Sweden to face rape charges. Wikileaks releases the
password to the insurance files. Would he not then be directly
endangering U.S. and other country intelligence professionals? Would
it not then be possible to prosecute him for espionage?
