# 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.

Kerala banned the use of 15 pesticides in May this year. However, about a
dozen pesticides which were either banned or severely restricted in other
countries continue to be used in Kerala, C. Jayakumar of Thanal (an
advocacy organisation campaigning ag ainst pesticides) told The Hindu.
Moreover, several of the banned pesticides are still in use and some of
the alternatives suggested officially are pesticides banned in other
countries.
Currently, 67 pesticides which have been banned or restricted in some
countries are in use in India. Though expert committees set up by the
Central government have examined the matter, they had recommended
continued use of the pesticides in most cases. In some cases, they
recommended that they be allowed for restricted use.
Committees that reviewed nearly half the pesticides were headed by C.D.
Mayee who had reported that no link could be found between endosulfan and
the health effects among those exposed to the pesticide in Kasaragod
district. In almost all cases, Mr. Mayee had recommended continued use of
the pesticides banned in other countries in India. In a few cases,
restrictions were recommended.
The pesticides in use in Kerala include Carbaryl, Malathion, Acephate ,
Dimethoate, Chlorpyrifos, Lindane, Quinalphos, Phosphomidon, Carbandizm,
Captan, Tridamorph, Practilachlor, 2.4-D and Glyphosate.
"We are caught in a pesticide trap and need to get out of these and look
for green options such as biological control or non pesticide management
that has been a huge success in Andhra Pradesh," Dr. Jayakumar said.
However, the Ministry of Agriculture was often taking a stand in favour of
continued use of harmful pesticides. A similar situation had existed in
the United States in the seventies. In 1972, the U.S. Congress passed the
"Federal Environmental Pesticides Control Act" which transferred all
responsibility of pesticide registration and regulation to the USEPA, in
large part to address the charges that the U.S.
Department of Agriculture suffered from pro-pesticide bias, says Kieth
Douglass in his book Agroecology in Action. Those campaigning against
pesticides say that a similar action was called f or in India also.
