# 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.

Dear Hoffman:
Thank you for the follow-up, and I would like to confirm receipt of your
previous email.
As your document was quite extensively thought-out and written, we are
giving it a deeper review. I will revert to you with feedback once it has
been properly digested.
I hope this finds you well.
Sincerely,
--Mark

Dear Mr Schroeder,
I sent you the mail below (and a document) at the end of Sept in
response to a question from yourself (the communication thread is
visible below).
I have had no reaction.
I trust this was an oversight, and not common practice in your
organization?.
I just wanted to point out that I was struck by the extent to which the
information I have been getting since sending you the document, is
increasingly confirming the views I expressed in the document I sent
you, which I include again for your convenience in its' sent form.

<< File: RSA Political Commentary JEHT Sep 2010.docx >>
Dear Mark,
Greetings from Hoffman at Elandsfontein near Johannesburg in Gauteng,
South AfricaJ.
I am sorry that this has taken so long. I was committed to a deadline on
a project that required quite a bit of traveling, and could only attend
to this intermittently. In a suggested closer alliance with STRATFOR
that I had proposed through your vacancies channel (it was politely
turned down), I had explained that, although I remain inclined and keen,
and I believe imminently capable, I am not at present (for reasons of
survival) ideally connected to or prepared to provide the kind of
analysis attached here, quickly. As a result, what you will read has
taken some time, is not in my opinion sufficiently informed from sources
"on the inside" and is of necessity mainly the result of research and
the application of informed deductive and assumptive facilities.
Nevertheless, I have done some validation checks, and I believe it to be
plausible and quite reliable within its context. It should be of value
to you, but I would not be too surprised (but would of course be a
little disappointed) if you did not find any additional insights or more
clarity.
Best regards
Hoffman Theron van Zijl

Subject: hello from STRATFOR
Dear Hoffman Theron van Zijl:
Greetings from Stratfor in Austin, Texas. Thank you for your reader
responses on our pieces. Feedback is always appreciated.
I wanted to contact you to get your thoughts on South African
developments. Right now we're looking at all the chatter within the ANC
and machinations leading up to the general council meeting. Do you get
any sense that threats from COSATU or the ANCYL are substantial? Zuma
and his government appear to be stuck in a hard place, but it's not like
they can reform policy pretty radically just because Malema makes a
threat over support for a Zuma second term.
Thank you for keeping in touch.
Sincerely,
--Mark
