# 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.

I'd like to announce two new executive appointments at Stratfor.
Grant Perry is joining us as Senior Vice President for Consumer
Marketing and Media. Grant is a former correspondent and anchor at
CNN. He served as Vice President for New Media Initiatives at Oliveitti
Telemedia in Milan, and as President of Global Media Innovations where
among other things he served as consultant to Wired Magazine in
developing TV programming about the internet and ran Exorbis, a web
studio producing programming on wine and travel. He also ran a
political communications firm, where he developed direct marketing
strategies. Grant teaches "Journalism in the Digital Age" at Johns
Hopkins University and was a mentor in the Knight International
Journalism Fellowship Program. Grant will be responsible for developing
strategies for packaging and selling Stratfor products to the consumer
market, as well as devising strategies for the use of things like
Facebook and Twitter for managing Stratfor's image.
Richard Parker is joining us as Senior Vice President of Corporate
Marketing and Development. This is Richard's second tour at Stratfor,
where he was COO from 2000-2001. He was a reporter with the Knight
Ridder chain, covering Washington, Latin America and the Balkans. He
won the Shaeffer Award for in-depth Reporting. He has served as an
advisor to the Congressional Quarterly and the Times Publishing Company,
their parent. He has also consulted with News Corp., CanWest Global
Communications, McGraw Hill and other leader publications. He was
Associate publisher of the New Republic where he was instrumental in
developing their on-line strategy. Richard will be responsible for
developing products and strategies for sale in the the corporate and
government markets, and for other business development initiatives.
Both Grant and Richard are drawn from the publishing and journalism
world. They share in common knowledge of and experience in the business
and reporting side of that, as well as involvement in the on-line world
and new media. They both understand the news and in the end, while we
might produce the news using intelligence rather than journalistic
methods, we do produce news that readers read. That means that we need
people who understand both the news production process, the business of
news and the presentation of news. From the website, to the way we
present our intelligence, to how Stratfor is perceived in the markets we
serve--these are the domains that Grant and Richard will help define and
redefine. A major job that I am confident they can do.
These two hires will, over time, change many of the ways we do business,
and make us more successful. They can be found in the play pen on the
sixth floor. By all means go down and visit them when both begin their
formal servitude on Monday.
Be aware that both our inside the Beltway liberals who believe that CNN
is an objective network, unlike Fox, which is the devil. This will help
create a needed balancing in the public image of Stratfor as
ideologically indifferent, as well as superb opportunities for mirth and
contempt by Fred, Don and myself. . Grant has told me that even if
Obama's foreign policy is the same as Bush's, he has changed the
atmosphere, and that's important. Richard has given me a book that
warns against Presidential lying. Let the games begin.
This is a big change for us. I am asking all of you to help make them
successful. More details on precisely what they will be doing will
become available as they define their own strategies and relationships
in the company.
