# 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.

PM leaves open prospect of Greek recourse to IMF if EU backing not
forthcoming, gov't source says
Prime minister George Papandreou left open the prospect of Greece
taking recourse in the International Monetary Fund (IMF) if Greece is
not financially backed by the EU, speaking to a lengthy Cabinet meeting
on Wednesday during which supplementary measures for the economy were
discussed, according to a senior government official.
The same official added that EU backing is the main goal and
orientation of the government.
Another official said that the anticipated reactions to the measures,
due to be announced in the next few hours, are understandable, but the
government is determined for the country's survival.
Government economic circles said that the measures to be announced
will not affect the pensioners' benefits, while VAT rebates to farmers
will be increased from the current 7 percent to 11 percent.

won't give, they'll have to ask IMF - I'll keep looking to confirm
