# 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.

Government Replies To British PM's Falkland Statement in Tough Terms
Report by Guido Braslavsky: "For London There is Full Stop on Malvinas:
Tough Argentine Reply" - Clarin.com
Thursday June 16, 2011 20:20:34 GMT
In a statement released last night the Foreign Ministry said that it
"deplores" the fact that the British government "claims for itself the
authority to put an end to the history of the sovereignty dispute over the
islands." It also accused London of showing its "ongoing contempt" and
displaying "a lack of respect for international law" in relation to the UN
mandate and the international community's appeals for the two nations to
resume negotiations.
Foreign Minister Hector Timerman used Twitter to ratchet up the dispute
with Cameron, rejecting the expression "end of story" that US political
scientist Francis Fukuyama had introduced in globalized discussions in the
1990s. "On the Malvinas, I say to the prime minister that the end of the
story is never a decision by one person, no matter how powerful that
person may feel himself to be," tweeted the foreign minister.
This new diplomatic exchange came a day after Tuesday's 29th anniversary
of the end of the war, with the fall of Puerto Argentino (Port Stanley);
the kelpers celebrate this date as "Liberation Day." After that Cameron
addressed the British Parliament, where he again reiterated the United
Kingdom's official stance on the Falklands issue: it refuses to negotiate
sovereignty, unless the kelpers ask it to do so.
"As long as the Falklands maintain their interest in remaining a British
sovereign territory, they should continue to be a British sovereign
territory. Period. End of story," Cameron declared forcefully, considering
the issue closed.
As he does every week, the Conservative Party prime minister went to the
House of Commons to give his report. The Falklands issue arose during
Question Time, when oral questions on issues that are not on the agenda
may be asked. The issue came up when a Conservative Party member, Andrew
Rosindell, asked Cameron to remind President Barack Obama at their next
meeting that London will never accept any kind of negotiations over the
South Atlantic archipelago. Rosindell's concern was prompted by the fact
that last week the OAS had urged Argentina and the United Kingdom to meet
to negotiate the Falklands issue "as soon as possible."
This week Cristina Kirchner had reiterated this claim on two occasions.
She first did so on Monday during UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon's visit
to Buenos Aires, in whose presence she repeated her demand that the United
Kingdom comply with the UN resolutions and criticized the "double
standard" tha t the most powerful nations use in international relations.
She returned to the issue on Tuesday when she was inaugurating the
"Roberto Mario Fiorito" presidential heliport. Its name is a tribute to
the only helicopter pilot who died in the 1982 war. At that ceremony the
president also delivered his DNI (National Identity Document) to James
Peck, who was born in Port Stanley in 1968 -- he is a fourth generation
kelper and the son of a British veteran -- and who later chose to become
an Argentine citizen.
In May 2010 Cristina spoke with Cameron at the Latin America-European
Union Summit in Madrid. In her speech there the president had again urged
the United Kingdom to negotiate; London responded with its usual refusal,
saying that it considers the islands an "overseas territory" that belongs
to the United Kingdom.
In the last few years bilateral relations have become more strained
because of the British decision to authorize hydrocarbon e xplorations
north of the i slands. Argentina responded to that with a decree issued in
February 2010 that requires ships en route to the islands and that wish to
cross the Argentine Sea or to anchor in Argentine ports to request
authorization from the Argentine government. It also promulgated Law
26.659, which penalizes firms conducting explorations on the Argentine
continental shelf that do not obtain permission from the Argentine
government.
(In another report in Spanish on 16 June La Nacion adds: "The British
prime minister has confirmed the islanders' right of self-determination.
"This was almost an automatic and blunt response to the claims that
Argentina had just reiterated to the United Nations and to the support it
recently obtained from the OAS. Yesterday British Prime Minister David
Cameron told the British Parliament that sovereignty of the Falklands 'is
not negotiable' and he confirmed the islanders' rights of
self-determination.
"In so doing, the British government has buried the Casa Rosada's latest
attempts to open sovereignty talks with London. Cameron, a member of the
Conservative Party, appeared yesterday in the British Parliament and,
among other matters, addressed the Falklands issue.
"In response to a suggestion from Conservative Party MP Andrew Rosindell
that in his upcoming meeting with US President Barack Obama, Cameron
should tell him that Great Britain will never agree to negotiate the
islands' sovereignty with Argentina, the prime minister spoke
emphatically: 'As long as the Falklands maintain their interest in
remaining a British sovereign territory, they should continue to be a
British sovereign territory. Period. End of story.'
"Rosindell's request came after last week the OAS, of which the United
States is also a member, unanimously urged Argentina and Great Britain to
meet 'as soon as possible' to negotiate in order to find a solution to the
conflic t.
"Cameron's words were also uttered during the same week in which President
Cristina Kirchner met in Buenos Aires with UN Secretary General Ban
Ki-moon, and reiterated to him the Argentine appeal for London to
negotiate the islands' sovereignty with Buenos Aires and comply with the
UN resolution that urges nations to meet to negotiate when situations of
conflict arise.
"Two days ago, when she inaugurated the Roberto Mario Fioriti presidential
heliport, named in honor of the only helicopter pilot who died in the
Falklands War -- he died as he going to the aid of a fishing boat -- the
president declared: 'Claiming to have geographic dominion at a distance of
over 14,000 kilometers is almost ridiculous.'
'Arrogance'
"Yesterday, seven hours after Cameron spoke, the government denounced the
remarks by the British prime minister. A Foreign Ministry communique
stated: 'Argentina deplores the fact that the Government of the United
Kingdo m, in a lamentable act of arrogance, claims the authority to put an
end to the story, referring to a sovereignty dispute whose existence has
been recognized by the United Nations and that is still awaiting a
resolution.'
"The government commented that Great Britain is displaying its ongoing
contempt for the reiterated mandate of the United Nations and for the
multiple appeals from the international community urging Argentina and the
United Kingdom to resume negotiations in order to arrive at a solution to
the sovereignty dispute concerning the Malvinas.'
"Meanwhile, from New York, the Argentine ambassador to the United Nations,
Jorge Arguello, commented that 'the international community should
carefully evaluate to what point it is appropriate for it to continue
acknowledging permanent member status of the UN Security Council for
countries that systematically ignore or violate the decisions of the
General Assembly.'
"Arguello also declared that 'the statements from Mr Cameron confirm that
the United Kingdom will uphold its interests by fair means or foul. They
are not willing to proceed in accordance with law, but seem determined to
defend their de facto position that originated through the use of force in
the 19th century.'
"Cameron's words came a day after the government gave a DNI to James Peck,
a native of the Falklands, and the son of a British veteran (who fought in
the 1982 war). Peck has chosen to become an Argentine citizen.")
