# 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.

my note -- have been writing a lot on this -- see those analyses
for reference. if htis is true, we are about to see some rumblings in the
al Assad family regime.
My source says Syrian president Bashar Asad has ordered his brother-in-law
general Asef Shawkat to step down as the chief investigator in the
assassination of Imad Muhniyye. Bashar's maternal cousin Rami Makhluf (my
source has business dealings with him)has replaced Shawkat as the
Mughniyye assassinmation investigator chief despite his modest
credentials.
My source says Hizbullah has protested to Asad against the appointment of
Makhluf as the investigator. Hizbullah accuses Shawkat of having a key
role in Mughniyye's assassination and demanded interrogating him as a
primary suspect.
My source says Syrian investigations have already revealed involvement by
a Syrian army officer in Mughniyye's assassination. The officer collected
detailed intelligence about Mughniyye's movements while in Syria and in
the Biqaa vallye, during former's tenure in the central Biqaa as an
intelligence officer during the 1990s. The officer discussed security
matters with Mughniyye during two major Israeli military operations in
Lebanon (Galilee Accountability Operation in July 1993 and the Grapes of
Wrath in April 1996).
