# 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.

## Re: [MESA] [TACTICAL] Fwd: INSIGHT - HZ - More on Ethiopian plane crash

So far it seems like the driving bit of information is that there were
around 20 members of Hezbollah on the plane, possibly transporting
explosive material. I can't imagine that their own devices would have
caused the plane to crash. HZ are professionals and wouldn't put live
devices on a plane with a bunch of their own guys on it accidentally.
You'd want to keep the primary charges separate from the detonating
charges. It would take a serious jolt of energy to set off those main
charges - for example, if the plane was already on fire, that would set
off the charges, but then that doesn't explain why the fire started in the
first place.
We're keeping an eye out for info on the data recorder, I'll ask Fred to
see if there's any word from NTSB. The voice recorder is still missing
though.
Also, as ME 1 pointed out, they would have used high grade explosive
materials - very stable and wouldn't just pop off if they got knocked
around.
If there was a man-made explosion on that plane, i can't imagine that it
would be because of the Hezbollah devices on board. If you want to get
conspiratorial, perhaps one of the HZ bomb makers intentionally set one of
the devices to detonate to take out his own people - perhaps at the behest
of Israel or Lebanon?
Data recorder found, voice recorder is still missing

This source says he is quite certain that the Ethipoian jet was
sabotaged. He says Sayyid Hashim Safieddine (HZ chief Hasan
Nasrallah's maternal cousin and the real number two man in HZ) was
supposed to board the plane along with an HZ delegation. The
Safieddine-led delegation was expected to fly from Addis Ababa to west
Africa to meet with members of the affluent Lebanese Shiite
communities there. He says HZ leadership decided to delay the
departure of the delegation because there were already too many HZ men
aboard the plane. This explains why only 89 passengers were aboard the
crashed plane.
