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 protests in Tunisia were national still they jumped to other
countries. I agree with you that we aren't likely to see a pan European
movement.
I was taking it a bit far when I was speaking about dead protesters and in
the case of Spain I'm not speaking about protesters attacking each other
like in Greece, I'm speaking about clashes with the authorities. The
regional government apparently added the Puerta del Sol square to the ban
list although it wasn't on that list during the May elections. I might be
reading it wrongly but to me that seems like a provocation.

I personally don't agree with this statement "these protests could lead
to an open societal crisis in Spain and spark to other countries". What
we have in Europe is NATIONAL protests. These protests focus on the
NATIONAL parliament and cannot therefore spread in Europe. You might
have them in several countries but i dont think they spread because they
are unrelated (despite the same economic shitty background) Plus,
protests of this kind are usually peaceful, there is a decent level of
understanding within the crowds that protests that killing each other
isn't going to make a difference. Now we might have like always the 20
idiots that ruin it for everyone (think of the Rome revolts) but i dont
foresee any dead or injured people. Protests dont automatically imply
"bad" events to come

leaders of Europe?
