# 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.

India's low-caste icon defies critics over garland
3/17/2010

(AFP) - 2 hours ago
LUCKNOW, India - A regional politician who champions the cause of poor and
low-caste Indians courted controversy again on Wednesday by appearing with
a second garland of banknotes worth nearly 40,000 dollars.
Firebrand leftist Mayawati provoked a storm of outrage on Monday when she
appeared with a garland stitched with 1,000-rupee (20-dollar) notes at a
celebration of 25 years of her Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) in northern Uttar
Pradesh state.
The ostentatious display led to noisy protests in the national parliament
in New Delhi, calls for a police probe into where the money originated and
condemnation from anti-poverty campaigners.
On Wednesday, a defiant BSP again festooned Mayawati, chief minister of
Uttar Pradesh, with cash and vowed to greet her in a similar manner in
future.
"We today presented another garland of 1.8 million rupees (36,000 dollars)
to the party supremo (Mayawati) collected by party units," state Public
Works Minister Naseemudin Siddiqui told reporters.
"In future, wherever her programmes are held, we will welcome her with
currency notes, if she permits us."
Mayawati, a former schoolteacher known as the Dalit Queen for her defence
of Dalit or low-caste Indians, has been criticised before for her
spending.
The 54-year-old, who has ambitions of becoming prime minister, likes to
drape herself in diamonds and shiny silk saris on her birthdays in what
she calls displays of "self-respect."
The Supreme Court in September forced her to halt the construction of
Greek Parthenon-style memorials estimated to be cost 20 billion rupees
(420 million dollars).
An already enraged opposition slammed the move on Wednesday.
"I have not seen this kind of brazen corruption anywhere. They should be
open to a tax probe," said Digvijay Singh, a leader of India's ruling
Congress party told reporters in New Delhi.
Ravi Shankar Prasad, spokesman for the main opposition Hindu nationalists,
for once agreed with his political rival.
"We are pained by this show of wealth. Democracy goes with public
accountability," he said.
But BSP spokesman Sayed Kazam Ali Khan scoffed at the anger describing the
presentation as "an appropriate way of showing the party's happiness and
gratitude to the chief minister."
"When people go to weddings, they give money as presents. This is
something that has been done before so I can't understand the hue and
cry," Khan told CNN-IBN news channel.
