# 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.

I've heard about this dissident group myself, and just published a piece
today to touch on the subject - www.pinr.com
The speculation about military setting up bombs is accurate. Re: the bombs
in July, there's little doubt it was military intelligence. Re: the bombs
on 19 Oct. and early Nov. we're still not certain. There are links between
the two incidents, as "R-1" was used. Again see my piece on PINR.
Re: his third paragraph, keep in mind the rapid built up of the military
in 2002-2004 meant less screening. Alfredo Rangel has made the argument
(repeatedly) that this lack of screening will make it easier to corrupt,
but that's the rank and file. Higher level commanders are believed to have
connections with leaders of the baby cartels. Senator Arenas will present
proof to the Colombian supreme court this week.
I don't know when you received this intel, but it's information that's
been out there for weeks - the most recent stuff I've seen is in my PINR
piece.

Subject: FARC
Hey Sam,
I thought you might be interested in the info below--comes from one of our
sources in the region. Let me know what you think.
Best,
Anya
I've heard a lot of strong rumor on the potential existence of a dissident
group within the military - nothing specific to back it up, but an old
class mate (Colombian expat with dad who was in the military) confirms
that the military is relatively divided on the FARC negotiation issue and
that there is a lot of negativity among smaller military circles against
any type of FARC negotiations. They see it as `negotiating with
terrorists' and that the response should be to get rid of FARC, not chat
with it. But given that FARC controls HUGE amounts of territory in
Colombia, is allowed to operate within Venezuela with Chavez's unspoken
approval, and is likely functioning well in Ecuador and Peru - it seems
unlikely that the Colombian government is really able to do much to them
in any significant way.
There is also a lot of speculation that the military has set up bombs,
blames them on FARC, then diffuses them and saves the day. These military
"rescues" seem to come timed with advances in the FARC-government
negotiations. This follows along with the theory of a dissident group
within the military that isn't so keen on FARC getting any comfort from
the Colombian government.
Keep in mind - much of the Colombian military and police are just as
caught up in drug trade/trafficking as FARC is - so we aren't talking
about noble soldiers, even if Uribe does say they are. Also, the common
link of the drug trade could mean that this is a military drug traders vs.
FARC drug traders battle.
Uribe has been facing some drops in his popularity ratings - likely due to
the fact that he's vowed to settle the FARC issue and instead, things are
getting worse - more attacks (like on the police station), no freed
hostages, etc. The fact that Colombia has essentially kept this to a
political campaign - not an active incursion into FARC territory or
forcible capture of FARC combatants - according to my friend, some of the
talk in Colombia is that this offers proof that a lot of the recent
bombings weren't FARC and were actually done by the military - which, I
guess, could explain why Colombia hasn't actively done much lately to lay
down the law on FARC.
