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.

Putin wants Metropolitan Kirill to run the church, but will settle for
Yuvenaly. Kirill is KGB and thought much like Alexy, but is faithful to
Putin. Yuvenaly wasn't KGB, but is willing to continue that relationship.
The succession line isn't certain but not as dangerous as it was say 2
years ago. Alexy made sure to smoke out any that would cause the church to
break into chaos should he die. There is a competition between Kirill and
Yuvenaly, but Putin won't allow it to get out of hand.
