# 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.

I spoke with Adm. Mike Mullen on Monday, July 26, 2010, for approximately
nine minutes. His cell phone number I called is (703) 600-9332. I have
had several call with Adm. Mullen and always informed him of my actions
with foreign governments.
I told him about the material below and informed him that a gentleman call
me from the Pakistani Embassy on May 12, 2010, 8:36 a.m., and I forwarded
the material to him.
I have been sharing sensative and classified knowledge with foreign
governments for years to save American lives.
Any questions please call (971) 255-0900.
Best regards,
Mary Jo Pullen-Hughes

Sir,
I was recently made aware that US Marines at 29 Palms have had a shift in
training. Their training was against Iranian posers earlier this year and
now has shifted to training against Pakistani posers. I understand that
the Pakistani government may have no problem with the bombing by US drones
but if they are inviting US Marines into Pakistan in a combat role, then
it needs to be public knowledge internationally. This would mean a third
combat front for US military personnel.
Regards,
Mary Jo Pullen-Hughes

Sir,
I have spoken with Mr. Lake regarding the American POW allegations
outlined below. Ambassador Susan Rice and I have talked and she is also
aware of the allegations below. I understand that this coming weekend
would be the last window of opportunity until next year for Israel to
preemptively attack Iran with the support of the US. It is also very
possible that the US would use this time frame to attack Venezuela and
remove Mr. Chavez. I have met with the Second Secretary of Lebanon and
the Military Attache of Belarus on this material in an attempt to keep
global peace. Other nations have been given access to my work over the
years including Russia and China. I have and will continue to have a
serious problem with a policy of preemption and bring this to your
attention.
Best regards,
Mary Jo Pullen-Hughes
