# 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.

Subject: Confederation Projects for Turkey
CONFEDERATION PROJECTS FOR TURKEY
Cihan News Agency -- owns Zaman, Today's Zaman and other major Turkish
media agencies
Cihan provides news to: CNN International, BBC, NBC, MTV, CBS, ABC,
Al-Jazeera, Abu Dhabi Tv, ARD, ZDF, SAT 1, TF1, Canal +, RAI, Tve,
Antena 3, TV2 Denmark, Nos Tv, MJTV, NTV Japan, KBS, NTV Russia, TV6,
IRIB, MEGA Channel, Bloomberg, MSMBC, ANS, Lider Tv and others. They
have staff in Central Asia, Mideast, Balkans, Europe, South America,
Africa, Far East. Permanent offices in places like Gaza, Kabul, Arbil.
Political ideology: Gulenist/loyal to ruling AKP
My contact: Abdulhamit Bilici (a.bilici@zaman.com.tr) - General
Director of Cihan News Agency and columnist for Zaman
Today's Zaman -- English-language version of Zaman; direct competitor to
Hurriyet
Has partnership with British daily The Times
Political ideology: Gulenist/loyal to ruling AKP
My contact: Bulent Kenes (b.kenes@todayszaman.com) - Editor in Chief of
Today's Zaman (both he and Bilici are extremely influential within the
Gulen movement.)
Additional contact: Ali Aslan aslan@alihalit.com - columnist for
Today's Zaman, based in Washington, DC
Note -- I had a preliminary discussion with Mr. Bilici and Mr. Kenes
about a partnership when I met with them at Zaman HQ in Istanbul. I also
know their primary contact in DC. They would need a bit more explanation
and coaxing. Their immediate response was that they publish all the
information that they get on their Web site. What we would have to
better explain is that we're looking for a direct partnership. If we
have a deal with Hurriyet, then we should also have a deal with
Cihan/Zaman to balance out politically.
Dogan News Agency - owns Hurriyet, Turkish Daily News and others
Direct competitor to Cihan News Agency
Political ideology: A lot more neutral, but more in line with the
nationalist/secularist camp
Contacts: Haluk Tukel - CEO of Dogan media group and Secretary-General
of TUSIAD - main business association dominated by
nationalist/secularists; David Judson, editor in chief of Hurriyet -
david.judson@tdn.com.tr; Taylan Bilgic - managing editor of Hurriyet -
taylan.bilgic@tdn.com.tr
Note -- had dinner with David Judson, who explained why he was hesitant
before to sign a deal with STRATFOR since Dogan media has been under
attack by the Gulenists and AKP and are facing major tax evasion fines.
They didnt want to also get branded as working with a 'shadow CIA'. Now
he feels they have enough partnerships under his belt to move forward
with STRATFOR. My meeting with Haluk Tukel got cancelled last minute,
but we're in touch via email and I think I'll be able to meet him when
he's in DC in a couple weeks.
EnergyReport - An energy-focused magazine written in Turkish and
English. Launched January 2010, monthly circulation.
Contacts: Gulcin Fatma Kabasakalli (fkabasakalli@yahoo.com, +90 530 363
14 84); Faruk Demir - mfd2030@gmail.com ( 0.530.592 46 09)
This is a very polished energy publication run by the topmost energy
expert in Turkey, Faruk Demir and his assistant, Fatma Kabasakalli, who
is the editor in chief. Faruk Demir was formerly on the Turkish national
security council. Now he conducts a lot of energy negotiations on behalf
of Turkey, but keeps a bit of distance from the government to give him
some flexibility. He and his assistant are extremely well-connected. The
magazine also has a lot of good analysis and insider information. They
are already planning on publishing one of George's weeklies in their
next publication. I'll bring a copy of the magazine when I come to
Austin next week. If we set up a formal partnership with them, we can
have regular access to the best resources on Turkey's energy relations
with Russia, Azerbaijan, Europe, Central Asia, US, etc. This would be
extremely useful for our source efforts. I met with Faruk and Fatma for
lunch while in Istanbul and discussed a partnership with Fatma. I will
be seeing Faruk in DC in a couple weeks.
