# 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.

Foxconn founder: suicides will stop
By Wang Xiang | 2010-5-25 | NEWSPAPER EDITION
http://www.shanghaidaily.com/sp/article/2010/201005/20100525/article_438048.htm
THE founder of Foxconn Terry Gou responded to the spate of eight suicides
in its Shenzhen factory for the first time yesterday, saying he was
confident of stopping the trend of tragedies.
Gou admitted it was hard to manage over 800,000 workers in Foxconn around
the world, but his factories were "definitely not a sweatshop," China News
Service reported.
Gou said the company has started working to change, but he would not
discuss details.
Foxconn's Shenzhen factory started to play music on its assembly line
yesterday to soothe work stress, following eight suicides and two
attempted suicides among its workers this year.
The factory - described as a "hell factory" in media reports - said it
will have a comprehensive plan to improve working conditions within a
month, Oriental Morning Post reported yesterday.
As a part of the plan, the factory started to recruit more than 2,000
singers, dancers and gym trainers on Sunday to help its 400,000 workers
relax.
The factory also plans to hire more psychiatrists to help its workers deal
with stress.
In the meantime, new fences are being installed on every workers'
dormitory building. The fences now rise up to 3 meters and are meant to
prevent suicidal workers from jumping off, the report said.
But some workers told the newspaper that adding fences were only
superficial and suicidal workers would surely find other ways to end their
lives. They said the wire fence even added to their stress, making workers
feel they were living in prison every day.
More than 400,000 workers live in the 3-square-kilometer factory area.
According to media reports, the workers have to work through their days
like a machine. Starting work at 4am every day, the workers repeat the
same moves thousands of times.
One worker told Guangdong based Southern Weekend that he would
deliberately drop something on the ground so that he could have a few
seconds of rest when picking it up.
A Shenzhen Foxconn spokesman said after the ninth jumper killed himself
that deeper social problems were to blame for the workers' deaths and the
factory was not at fault.
