# 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.

Can you ask if the MX strategy is a desire for direct negotiation with the
cartels?
If so, doesn't that give the cartels recognized diplomacy?

NOT FOR PUBLICATION
I read an analysis on the attacks towards US consulates.
Basically, it says that the NF & Zetas both believe that they have
the upper hand with the Americans, and that if they cause problems
for US interests, there will be greater government emphasis that
will harm the other cartel.
A similar situation exists in CDJ. However, our sources maintain
that the attack on the consulate workers was aimed at the EP County
Jail officer, as I originally speculated. On the other hand, if
VCF were to believe that attracting US attention CDJ would result
in pressure on Sinaloa, this would be a grave mistake. We believe
that when the US made an announcement that was corroborated by
several federal spokespersons simultaneously (that Sinaloa
controlled CDJ), it was a message that the DEA wanted to send to
Sinaloa. The message was that the US recognized Sinaloa's
dominance in the area, although it was not absolute. It was meant
to be read by the cartels as a sort of ultimatum: negotiate and put
your house in order once and for all. One dissenting analyst
thinks that the message is the opposite, telling Sinaloa to take
what it had and to leave what remains of VCF. Regardless, the
reports are saying that the US message to the cartels was to
negotiate and stop the violence. It says that the US has never
before pronounced that a cartel controls a particular plaza, so it
is an unusual event.
Although it was not explicitly said in the report I read, there is
a possibility that Mexican agencies knew the announcement would
come out. Any idea what strategizing went on behind the release of
that statement?
