# 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.

So my Aussie intelligence source that I was so worried about because he
stayed in China incommunicado for over a week decides to get in touch
with me via STRATFOR! Ha. Well anyways, I am resending this as insight
in case not everyone picks this up. This is very important and wish
like hell we woulda got it this morning before I wrote up the CSM. I
guess we can always update next week or do a stand-alone piece - thoughts?
