# 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.

Field Intelligence Group (FIG) which exist inside of each FBI field
office.
The FIG is staffed by analysts and are responsible for analysis. The
FBI agent is saying that the analysts get their open source from the CIA
office of open source intelligence, but have very little time to look at
the open source, due to the amount of classified intelligence. That
is the problem I found w/the 250 analysts that worked for me at the 4 -
Texas fusion centers. CNN is watched for breaking news, but the amount
of classified information (fire hose) from FBI, CIA, DHS, DEA, NSA
pouring into the fusion centers prohibited the time anyone had to look
at the open source.
DHS comprised a daily open source report in DC but the report was old by
the time you got it. If the CIA did an open source round up, it was
never pushed out to the Fusion Centers.
Appears to me that if the FBI FIG's need open source materials, they
contact the CIA office of open source intelligence. I would assume,
but don't know, our OS contract feeds into this group.
