# 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.

Not a lot of great thinking goes into these decisions I'm
afraid. Hindsight is always 20/20. Reagan made the decision to bomb
Libya after the LaBelle disco bombing in the back seat of the limo in a
nano-second. Was it the right call? Sure. Did he ponder all options and
debate the geo-political importance with his Cabinet? No, he asked us in
the limo what we thought.
Sometimes it is what it is.

The admin does otherwise it would not have neglected Afghanistan and left
the country wide open to the Taliban to do with it as the please.

As I reported 'bout two weeks ago from one of the 12 richest Jews who
control the world, the right-wing Jewish lobby has geared up the ground
swell to run her out of dodge.
Money buys access. Bottom feeders vote.

Cheney had an edge?
Does seem like Rice has taken a back seat... no one even pays attention to
her anymore

Subject: Humint - Bush Family
According to a source very close to the Bush family, Cheney has told
POTUS SecState needs to go. Reportedly, she has been running amok with
her Middle-East policies and is out on a limb that will be sawed off. W
has been letting her do what she wants with little oversight or guidance.
Source advises he does not believe Negroponte will be her replacement.
41 believes that Rumsfeld was a disaster and Barbara calls him "that
lunatic." 41 also blames Dougles Feith for cooking the books on WMD in
Iraq.
Source stated that he counseled W to negotiate and deal with the 256
various clans in Iraq, which could have been bought off "like all Arabs",
but W refused. His "Texas cocky attitude" has resulted in a disaster.
The next 18 months will be worse.
The Saudis have gone to the Israelis (bypassing Rice) wanting to know what
the U.S. plans to do in Iraq. The Saudis believe the Americans are out of
control.
Source believes Cheney "has lost his edge and is burned out" after his
last heart attack.
