# 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.

very interesting.

I don't buy the 90%. Lean more towards 60-70%. I've seen outstanding
HUMINT coverages which run 180 degrees from OS, combined with SIGINT.
The other aspect is the Dark Web data mining streams now combined
w/surveillance logs AND technology like TrapWire. Neither of which very
few people see.
The high public figures are disinformation to protect sources and
methods (foreign liaison channels.)
The volumnes of granular data for example on Iran or Mexico today
out-pace the OS.

So, since [as I understand it] upwards of 90% of all real intel comes
from OS, isn't it safe to say these non-gov guys without the TS/SCI info
could come somewhere close to the answers?

Agree
Having said that, studies like this are read now inside the CIA, NCTC,
FBI. Back in the day, nobody read anything other than what each other
wrote.
The challenge has always been that educational institutions and think
tanks lack the access to very valuable feeds of information primarily in
the SIGINT arena, so they lack 20-25% of the granular data.
For example, let's say the FBI is investigating HZ surveillances in
CONUS, predicated upon an intercept that indicates the go order has been
given. The think tank does not have access to either reporting stream.
Aaron Colvin wrote:
I like studies like this, but the real problem is that the focus is on
deterministic domains of "perfect" information. It's like game-theoretic
models that assume rationality. These are great to understand and read,
but, IMHO, should not be fully adhered to.

Well worth the read.
