# 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.

** There is something more going on here than the pilot error story. This
source has been reliable in the past.
The initial analysis of the recovered black box of the doomed Ethiopian
jet did not show pilot error, as previously suggested by the Lebanese
media. The Lebanese intelligence community believes the plane was
sabotaged by the Mossad. In his opinion, it was the first shot in the
forthcoming war between Israel and Hizbullah. He says the Israelis were
acting on the false belief that Hasan Nasrallah's cousin Hashim Safieddine
was among the passengers of the plane.
Safieddine is widely considered as the real number two man in HZ. My
source says it appears as if the Israelis want to get rid of top HZ people
before war so that they can confuse its command and demoralize its rank
and file.
The Lebanese are facing a dilemma. They cannot admit that the plane was
planted with a bomb in Beirut airport for it would reveal the extent of
security laxity. When I talked to the source about the matter he reminded
me of the case of the crash of Egypt air in North America in 1999. The
Egyptian authorities did not allow the US to publicly reveal the outcome
of investigation which pointed to a deliberate suicidal crash by the pilot
al-Battuti. The plane exploded in mid air. A pilot error would have caused
the plane to lose balance and crash at sea. Please note that word about
possible piot error resurfaced after the minister of health talked about
an explosion. Late, he had to issue a clarification that the explosion was
not necessarily the result of military action. Note that he used
"necessarily" while he could have ruled it out outright. The minister of
health apparently lost his temper and mentioned "explosion" after the next
of kin of the passengers caused disturbanmces and insisted on seeing the
bodies of the dead. He told them there were no bodies, but pieces of
flesh.
