# 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.

But a meeting they have held every Sunday since their protest began drew
far fewer people than previously on Sunday.
I think the unions are far more interesting to me, especially as they
start fighting against privatization plans (so rolling blackout thing is
more serious than these "indignant" yahoos).
This goes back to what Marc/Preisler were talking about in terms of
Spanish anti-austerity protesters being pro-EU. These guys have no real
political alternative. This is what we articulated in the annual. Their
only "alternative" is to quit the euro, but they don't really want to do
that.
It is only in the core that there is a true political alternative:
Euroskepticism.

Greece says budget cuts will pass, but power cuts threaten

(ATHENS) - Greece will get new tough budget action through parliament in a
week's time to obtain vital funding, the government said on Monday despite
power cuts and a general strike threat.
Ahead of another visit by Greece's mission of creditors, the government
also faces a vote of confidence called by the prime minister to ensure
support in parliament for yet deeper measures to avert bankruptcy in the
face of distress and anger among the Greek people.
A finance ministry source told AFP that the government was "confident
about the adoption of this plan by parliament," where the Socialist
government holds 155 seats out of 300 in a vote on June 28.
And an EU source in Athens said representatives from the European Union,
the International Monetary Fund and the European Central Bank, which last
year bailed out Greece, would be visiting the Greek capital this week.
Members of the tripartite mission, also known as the 'troika' in Greece,
will be in Athens on Tuesday and Wednesday for talks with newly-appointed
Finance Minister Evangelos Venizelos, the EU source told AFP.
The finance ministry has indicated that the troika mission chiefs who have
held quarterly audits of Greek finances will be heading the latest visit.
Eurozone finance ministers said overnight that the next slice of 12
billion euros ($17 billion) of an EU-IMF rescue package agreed last year
would be released early in July to avoid default on current spending.
But this slice of a total first loan of 110 billion euros would be
released strictly on condition that Greece adopts the latest round of
highly unpopular measures.
Meanwhile on Monday Prime Minister George Papandreou, who shuffled his
government on Friday as part of a new drive to tackle the debt, faced
further difficult talks in Brussels on a big second rescue which Greece
needs to have a hope of avoiding default on its debt in the months and
years ahead.
For the European Union, the issue of a second rescue raises much wider
problems of how to ensure that banks, insurance companies and investment
funds holding Greek debt bonds bear part of the cost.
But they want to achieve this without provoking mayhem on financial
markets and putting the eurozone at increased risk.
The European Central Bank has warned EU policymakers that if the terms of
a redrawing of Greek debt repayments is badly received on financial
markets, the central bank may cease providing lifeline funding to the
Greek banking system.
Papandreou, facing opposition from some of his own members of parliament
and lacking support from the opposition right-wing parties, called on
Sunday a vote of confidence to bring his own supporters into line. The
vote is expected during Tuesday night.
Greek observers say that Papandreou should win both the confidence vote
and the vote on the new budget measures, but could still face opposition
politically and on the streets.
The main Greek trade union organisation GSEE has called a general strike
lasting 48 hours on a day to be chosen depending on events in parliament.
The electricity generating company DEI has warned that the country could
be hit by power cuts.
This is because on Monday the union representing its workforce called for
a rolling strike against a condition by the EU and International Monetary
Fund that the business be privatised by next year as part of a wave of
privatisations to reduce debt.
This powerful union has long been courted by the governing Socialist
Party. But a union official Costas Koutsodimas told radio Flash that the
Greek people supported the employees in fighting the "knock-down sale of
the flagship in the public sector."
The groups of so-called "indignant" people protesting against cutbacks and
reforms by the government, who have been camping in Syntagma square in
central Athens since May 24 said they would hold a new demonstration late
on Tuesday during the vote of confidence.
But a meeting they have held every Sunday since their protest began drew
far fewer people than previously on Sunday.
