# 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.

## [alpha] INSIGHT - PNG - Somare - CN65

The contact is very close to the Somare family. He said the family itself
doesn't know who will be the next PM, and that everything in this regard
is in a state of flux. The problem in all of these things is that there
is no party cohesion in any of the parties. I look at US parties, and I
see the Whip as being very weak compared to Australian politics, but in
PNG the Whip is simply non-existent. Not only do you have a proliferation
of small parties in PNG, but people are free to move from one party to
another, and frequently do so.
The difficulty Somare's family will have in attempting to dictate the next
PM is that they come from the East Sepik, so they don't really have a
naturally large regional voting block. They are also sorting out amongst
themselves if any other members of the family are going to enter politics.
The strongest block lies in the Highlands, but Ben Sabumei can't work out
what he wants to do in terms of swinging votes.
The one thing we did agree was that corruption will win the day for the
foreseeable future. This means that maybe nobody in the Parliament will
know who the winner will be until after the vote!
I know this doesn't advance things much in terms of an answer, but it does
give you a better understanding of the situation.
