# 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.

Ok, and you can be in charge of that one.
I was thinking about it, but thought that they've been pretty quiet since
the 1970s.

Maybe we should add Corsica to the list. There is definitely a
secessionist movement there, even if the separatists have been pretty
quiet recently.

Ok, good call...
Am re-sending the list with yours and Lauren's points.
Eugene Chausovsky wrote:
Can we include Nagorno Karabakh in this as well? I think this
would be good for Elodie to take, since she is responsible for
Armenia/Azerbaijan in morning digests anyway.
I can take Abkhazia and South Ossetia, even though they have
already seceded (possible stage V, as in completed?), but there is
still violence there.

Tasking on Secessionism in Europe:
We need to assess via OS (which is why I am cc-ing monitors and
watchofficers to this tasking) and via our sources the state of
affairs of secessionist regions in Europe.
There are four levels of secessionism as per weekly intelligence
guidance
(http://www.stratfor.com/node/167894/analysis/20100725_intelligence_guidance_week_july_25_2010):
I. Quietly Simmering - Yes, secessionism is an idea, but the
region has no interest in pursuing it.
II. Simmering, but weak - Secessionism is more than an idea -
if not the outright stated goal -- it is a desire, but the
region has no means in pursuing it.
III. Active, but not explosive - Secessionism is the stated
goal, but there is very little danger of violent uprising.
IV. Active - Secessionism is the stated goal and violence is
potential means by which the country will pursue it.
(the last two levels are really distinguished only by the factor
of violence)
Methodologically, we need five things:
1. Response to the ICJ Kosovo ruling. So for example the
commentary by EP VP Laszlo Tokes (Hungarian from Romania) today
would be something we are looking for. Same with Dodik's
comments. Let's put all those together. Let's really search for
any comments made by all the regions since the opinion was
issued, and let's have the monitors increase their sensitivity
to any comments (even if they're from a place like Northern
Ireland) from this point forward.
2. An assessment of foreign backing for the region in
question. So for places like South Ossetia and Abkhazia, this is
obvious. What about Republika Srpska and the Albanians in
Macedonia?
3. Popular support for secession. This becomes especially
important in Western Europe. So let's look at polling data as
well.
4. An assessment of the leadership (political and/or
military) of the territory's secessionism.
5. Tasking sources in the region on how they perceive the ICJ
decision and who is next.
Breakdown of regions (plus who I want to get cracking at the
information for the region):
Level I
Italy - Aosta Valley -- BENJAMIN
Croatia - Serbian Krajina - MARKO
Denmark - Faroe Islands - BENJAMIN
Spain - Galicia - ELODIE
U.K. - Northern Ireland - BENJAMIN
Ukraine - Crimea - MARKO
Serbia - Vojvodina - MARKO
Level II
Italy - Lombardy - BENJAMIN
Bosnia - Western Herzegovina - MARKO
Denmark - Greenland - BENJAMIN
Finland/Sweden/Norway - Sami-land - ELODIE
Spain - Basque Country - ELODIE
Ukraine - Carpathian Ruthenia - MARKO
Serbia - Sandzak - MARKO
Level III
Belgium (by which we mean both Flemish and Walloon regions,
really the entire country) - ELODIE
Cyrpus - Northern (Turkish) Cyprus - EMRE
Romania - Szekler Land - ANTONIA
Spain - Catalonia - ELODIE
U.K. - Scotland - BENJAMIN
Level IV
Bosnia - Republika Srpska - MARKO
Moldova - Transdniestria - ANTONIA
Macedonia - Albanian region - EMRE
Russia - Chechnya - MARKO
Russia - Dagestan - MARKO
Russia - Ingushetia - MARKO
Russia - Kabardino-Balkaria - MARKO
Russia - Tatarrstan - MARKO
Serbia - North Kosovo - MARKO
My placement of regions in the categories is just my analytical
guidance. We can update them as we find more about the current
situation. Please get in touch with me if it is unclear what
needs to be done.
