# 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.

Maybe, but he's choked on the national stage a few times now. I can't get
past his smile...makes him look sleazy.

Tim Pawlenty is about as close as the GOP gets to a sharp, young and
eligible governor.

We need a sharp young Governor.

Pawlenty is good.
I think Romney could do it if he is himself. He was as badly handled
in 2008 as Al Gore was in 2000. It should have been his nomination
and he screwed it all up.
Newt might actually pull the trigger.
I think Huckabee could do it just to piss off people like me.
I would tell Jeb that his time came and went when Katrina went under
water.
Frist would love to do it, but it'll take time for him to get up and
running.

Subject: RE: Insight - China/Tibet/Obama
Depends on where you are. In your neck of the woods, people tend to
think no one can do the right thing in Washington. They think the
world here is so corrupt that progress will always be stifled by the
moneyed interests. (Of course, the fact is that on domestic policy,
it's like foreign policy -- the president can have his ideals but
there are very few things he can do that won't screw up the
country. So he doesn't do them. Watch climate, for instance. It's
not corporate lobbying holding him from a deal, it's China. He
won't commit economic suicide just to make environmentalists happy.
The environmentalists don't think it's suicide, so they think Obama
has sold out. It's sad really.)
I think Mrs. P is far closer to a D.C. view of things. The liberal
factions in DC think Obama is being a pussy. They don't want a
climate deal that kills the US economy and gives everything to the
Chinese, but they want someone to stand up to the Chinese and say
"this is the way it's going to be." From a West Coast
liberal perspective, that's inflaming rivalry and inviting
conflict. From an East Coast perspective, that's the only way to
get a climate bill. Right now, he's not going to commit suicide
(Bay Area approach) but he's not going to back the Chinese down
(Mrs. P) either.
Obama needs to get in a fight and do something really mean and
unfair to the right. (Gays in the military/revoke Don't Ask Don't
tell). He's afraid of the backlash. He could also tell the banks to
go screw themselves. Either way, he needs to do something that says
he doesn't care about losing political capital. By front loading
health care and climate, he made being politically safe his primary
objective. He doesn't think he can afford to piss people off until
those two are done. (Back to Emanuel, whose job is to tell him that
he shouldn't front load all of his controversial proposals.)

Bart, do you believe Mrs. P's thoughts are fairly mainstream among
Obama supporters, or are most still fairly content? I feel like I
hear comments similar to Mrs. P all the time on other various
issues, but my viewpoint is probably fairly skewed. (Marx himself
couldn't satisfy half the people here.)

I don't disagree that Biden is a weasel. I think Emanuel is
emasculating Obama by selling him on clever Clintonesque
tactics. I would love to see Obama with someone more principled
and less clever as Chief of Staff. He needs a James Baker and he
has a Donald Regan. At least Clinton had Panetta at first to tell
him when to not be a pussy. Without Panetta Clinton was just a
great tactician but he didn't get anything done (except get
re-elected).

She blames Obama and Biden. I dropped Emanuel into the soup and
she said that he would be added to her list. She believes Biden
is weasel and Obama is a pussy. I want her to fund my bid for
Congress. Yes, I can be bought.

I remember that she had misgivings about supporting him during the
primaries. I assume that rather than support a challenger, she'll
just sit out 2012 (unless Obama finds a spine). I'd love to know
if there was any talk about whether she and her set think it's him
or his staff (esp. Emanuel) who is making his presidency so
muddled so far.

Subject: Insight - China/Tibet/Obama
From a billionaire Democratic fundraiser --
The billionaire (who also funds ACORN) is greatly disappointed
over Obama's "weakness and wimpyness" towards China ("Fred, they
only understand strength") and Obama's failure to meet with the
Dhali Lama. The fundraiser stated he/she was personally
disappointed ("betrayed") for helping Obama get into The White
House and does not intend to support Obama next election, absent a
drastic turn-around.
