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 an issue flaring up over Chinese SOEs being rural properties in
Australia. The issue has principally arisen as a result of some fairly
outrageous claims by the Greens in Australia.
You might not be aware that the Greens have taken the balance of power in
the Senate here. They are now running around claiming that there is a huge
takeover of rural land in Australia by foreigners.
There is now gong to be a Senate Inquiry into foreign investment in
agriculture.
Key to this is the fact that Shenhua has spent A$200 million buying 43
properties over and surrounding its Watermark coal project in the Upper
Hunter Valley. The reason for this is that if they buy the properties,
they don't have to worry about dealing with the landholders over
environmental issues. (Landowners in Australia don't own the minerals in
the ground, whereas in the US they do. So you can theoretically mine on
someone else's land, but you have to deal with them in regulated ways in
regards to environmental impacts.)
The National Farmers Federation has said today on ABC News Television that
there is a need to distinguish between foreign ownership of rural
properties per se, and the mining versus agriculture debate. The latter,
he said, was about the long term sustainability of properties.
The NFF position is that foreign investment has been critical to enabling
Australia to stay at the head of the world on agricultural productivity.
