# 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.

Fred,
Sorry for the delay in replying. We met last night and discussed your idea
and TJ feels that we should complete this project, but he wants to wait
until after the first of the year.

Ed, Just want to double check my note came thru from yesterday on the
report suggestion and price quote? We wanted to be able to react
quickly if you had any desire to proceed, so I apologize in advance if
this message is a duplicate. Best Regards, Fred
