# 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.

The other thing is that while protests have spread the opposition is far
from being an organized force. So, the situation is still salvageable.
Bashar will have to do what he did in the aftermath of the Hariri
assassination. Get rid of some people saying he is taking action against
those who are responsible for the killing of people. and initiate a really
slow process of change, which could get a lot of people off the streets.
We need to see if he is up to the task.

See that's the thing. The Iranians are not asking to back off from using
force. Rather saying do what the Egyptians did. Align with the
protesters and control the movement. Keep in mind that many people still
expect Bashar to engage in reforms.

yes, appearances is one thing, but telling syria to back off force is

I think your point about appearances is more legit than the point
about Iran preaching about their sophisticated counter-protest
tactics. Iran wants it to be known that they're SAYING to stop
shooting people in the streets but since when has Tehran used anything
other than force to quell protests?? And come to think of it, when was
the last time Syria got quesy about killing lots and lots of people in
the same situation?

On the contrary, the bit about Syria makes perfect sense. The issue
is not human rights. Rather the Iranian desire to see the Syrian
regime sustain itself. Hence the advice to deal with the situation
in a more sophisticated way. Also, keep in mind the Iranians can't
appear as spectators to the Syrians slaughtering their own people.
Furthermore, the Iranians have to be thinking of the future in which
the Syrian could fall.

can we publish a short update to this with the insight?
i dont buy the bit about syria, though. the iranians telling the
syrians to use restraint against protestors? give me a break. like
they're the real human rights champions of the mideast

ah yes, the "sulky attendance" OS item from yesterday. classic.

At least two OS reports on it (though the second may be based on
the first
Iran president absent at cabinet over "tensions" with Supreme Leader -
website
Text of report by Iranian news website Mizankhabar on 24 April
24 April: Due to the continuation of tensions between [President Mahmud]
Ahmadinezhad and [Iran's Supreme Leader Seyyed Ali] Khamene'i over
[Heydar] Moslehi's tenure as minister of intelligence, today's meeting
[24 April] of the government delegation to which Moslehi had not been
invited, was held without Ahmadinezhad's sulky attendance either.
It was reported before, that in protest against the Leader's
intervention to retain Heydar Moslehi in his post at the Ministry of
Intelligence, Ahmadinezhad had not come to his office.
According to the news, the head of the 10th government [Ahmadinezhad]
has not come to his office since he returned from Kordestan [province]
and several pro-government representatives also held meetings with him
on this.
It is said that Ali Larijani and Mahdavi Kani met him yesterday [23
April] and reminded him about the risks of his reaction and requested
him to accept the views of the Islamic Republic leader, which he
rejected.
During the recent days, the adventure of accepting the resignation of
the intelligence minister by the president was a topic of a media
conflict and a war between Ahmadinezhad's media team, the IRGC [Iranian
Revolutionary Guard Corps] and Larijani's supporters. After Ayatollah
Khamene'i's intervention and his letter to Ahmadinezhad it was expected
that this [tension] would not continue, but Mahmud Ahmadinezhad is not
yet prepared to accept the views of the Islamic Republic's leader, nor
has he shown obedience to him.
[BBCM note: Moslehi had been sacked as intelligence minister by
Ahmadinezhad prior to his reinstatement by the Supreme Leader.]

In the meantime, we note in passing presumably unconnected
reports via RFERL's Golnaz Esfandiari that Iranian President
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has also not shown up at work for four days,
and reportedly did not attend a cabinet meeting Sunday.
Presumably an Easter long-weekend get-away does not explain the
beleaguered Iranian leader's reported absence.

The assertion that A-Dogg hasn't been in his office the last
five days, has anyone seen any hints of this being true in OS?

Not sure how much of these are already in the OS but this is
what the source has sent me overnight:
Ahmadinejad has had a meeting with Khamenei yesterday. This
is after the president has not attended in his office for
five days. He set three conditions for getting back to
office:
1- Removing Moslehi
2- Getting back Mashaee as a vice president
3- Removing national security chief, Saeed Jalili from his
post.
Ahmadinejad has also asked interior minister Mostafa
Mohammad-Najjar (was defense minister in Ahmadinejad's first
term) to resign given Najjar's closeness with the SL.
I am also hearing that there was a team in the intelligence
ministry which was working on Mashaie. It is said that
Mashaie had a team in IM. They even hid microphone in
Khamenei's office. They also found out Mashaie's connection
with some U.S. billionears. Moslehi found out these
activities and fired Mashie's guy in IM. So Ahmadinejad
fired Moslehi.
I don't have details of what transpired in the meeting
between Ahmadinejad and Khamenei but politicians and clerics
close to the SL continue to talk about the importance of
following the SL's orders.
Separately, Iran has asked Syria to reconsider of its policy
towards the protesters. Tehran's Human Rights Commission has
issued a statement asking Damascus not to kill demonstrators
and instead to provide them security. It expressed concern
about the recent developments in Syria which has led to
security forces opening fire on people.
