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.

Greetings George Friedman,

My name is Steven Taylor, and I would like to discuss a business
opportunity that offers the potential for considerable earnings.

I work for a privately held manufacturing company, which currently
purchases a product vital to its processing operations at a price
significantly above the manufacturing cost. In my proposed business
venture, you would assume the role of stand-in supplier, providing this
key material while retaining the same profit margins. My role would be to
introduce you to my company as the supplier and to obtain a contract
between you and my employer.

I understand that your experience with Strategic Forecasting Inc does not
directly relate to my field. However, this venture is more in line with
your personal capabilities rather than your professional experience.

I would like to confirm your current phone number . Please send a return
email to verify your contact number and to schedule the most convenient
time to discuss these possibilities in detail. I look forward to speaking
with you soon.

Kindest Regards,
Steven Taylor
