# 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.

Source tells us that Ivo Sanader, Croatian PM, resigned because of OC.
Basically, he had some deal going on with the Ploce port, that is where
Croatia is supposed to build an LNG terminal. He basically got in good
with the OC and they told him that he had a choice to either retire from
politics, or else they'd start killing off his family.
He followed their orders.
Note that I have been saying (and writing in analyses) that Croatia is
absolutely run by OC. The country is stuffed to the brim with OC. The
problem is that the Yugoslav Civil Wars had a serious effect on the
entire region, allowing war profiteers to essentially continue running
OC activities after the war. Serbia also has OC, but it is not as
powerful as Croatia's because the assassination of Djindjic gave the
state the impetus to clean most of the really powerful OC elements off.

According to the Swedish MEP who essentially runs all the Balkan stuff
for Swedish FM, the key issue for continuing enlargement has been
separating the Turkish accession process from the rest of the Balkans.
Bildt has worked VERY hard on this issue, he essentially invited Iceland
and gave them a green light precisely to illustrate to Germany and
France that there is Turkish enlargement and then there is OTHER kind of
enlargement. So the Iceland move was key.
Once Iceland "green light" convinced Germany and France that this is
possible to do, Berlin put pressure on Slovenia to let Croatia have its
chance. This was also confirmed by CRO501 (the Croatian Ambassador to
EU). He also said that Croatia had already offered to Slovenia what
Zagreb gave them on Monday, so that it really did come down to the
German pressure.
Swedish MEP did say that both in Croatia and Macedonia's case, the
bilateral disputes with Slovenia and Greece (respectively) play a very
key role in allowing Zagreb and Skoplje to delay. The point is that on
issues that Croatia and Macedonia don't want to integrate with the EU,
they can drag their feet and then blame Slovenia and Greece for it. So
we need to also look at that side of the coin.
1. Slovenian acceptance of Croatian accession
a. According the Swedish MEP, the key was Swedish ability to
separate Turkey from Balkan accession. This is viewed as a key stumbling
block for further expansion of the European Union.
b. The green light to Iceland is key part of this strategy. By
giving an immediate green light to Iceland, Stockholm has been able to
separate the two issues from one another.
c. Pressure was then placed on Slovenia to relent. This is
confirmed by Croatian Ambassador to the EU, who said that what Zagreb
gave Slovenia was in part offered in some form or another before.
d. But, Swedish MEP countered that at issue here was also stalling
on part of Zagreb. For both Macedonia and Croatia, the Slovenia/Greece
issue is just a useful tactic to hold back on required reforms and to
blame a**thema** for why it is taking so long.

This is insight not just from Swedish MEP in charge of Balkan
enlargement, but others as well.
Basically, enlargement is dead. The Swedish Presidency, Carl Bildt
personally, want to see each of the Balkan states make a step forward
towards accession (one step minimum) during their presidency. Bildt of
course had a very important role in the Balkans in the past, so he is a
key player on this.
However, Germany and France have totally stopped enlargement. The
Swedish MEP I talked to fought very hard to have a resolution pass
before this new parliament that said that rejection of Lisbon would NOT
endanger enlargement. So that resolution passed. But she said that this
current parliament would not be able to vote that resolution through
because it is so right wing.
The move to the right is very key, because it symbolically illustrates
that enlargement is one of the things nobody wants to talk about. The
French and German MEPs (who run the parliament according to most people
I talked to) are especially opposed. Sweden is hoping for more
enlargement because they tend to have very good relations with countries
that they bring into the EU, it is a way to get more allies against
France and Germany.

I got a lot of info on Carl Bildt. Our Swedish MEP contact is basically
his main ally. Bildt is apparently super tall, has photographic memory
and is very smart. He has a very rocky relationship with the current
Prime Minister because Reinfeldt was the youth leader of the Moderate
Party when Bildt was the Prime Minister briefly and the two did not get
along.
Bildt believes that Sweden should become a world power. He talks a lot
about the traditional sphere of Swedish influence in the Baltic (sort of
like our monograph). From his experiences in the Balkans he has decided
that he does not like Croats and Albanians.
He is also very critical of Russia. He called Putin a "chetnik" in the
middle of a meeting with an MEP group. He is essentially a personna non
grata in Moscow. He is also at odds with Sarkozy because before Sweden
received its EU Presidency he essentially told the French not to pull
the same stuff they did with Czech Republic.
He is very involved with enlargement. Sweden sees enlargement as a way
to break the German-Frenc stranglehold on the EU. His personal goal is
to see every Balkan state make one step forward towards accession during
his premiership.
I did meet his wife, who is also an MEP in the Parliament. She is
apparently Italian and does not speak really good Swedish, so she
couldn't get into the Swedish parliament. Instead, she campaigned for
the European and got in.
