# 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.

I think this is worth being written up as a piece ahead of tomorrow's
protests.
Is it possible to publish this?

Subject: Tirana update
From TrapWire --
Just in from a contact (Former senior law enforcement officer with direct
access to Opposition party members).
Tirana : 22 Jan 2011 (Situation at 1930 local)
a** Situation today calm, as Govt declared day of mourning for the
"martyrs" (Berisha's words).
a** The Opposition has been hold-up all day today in Mayor Edi
Rama's office discussing next steps. There is some reluctance on their
part as to whether tomorrow's protest should proceed as planned. They have
apparently received word that many protesters intend to come armed to
protect themselves against the police. Rama has commented privately he
may lead the protest to try and keep them peaceful.
a** Despite this, the Opposition continues to insist they will not
stop actions against the current regime until Berisha resigns. In
response, Berisha has declared that "anyone touching an official
government building will meet the same fate as the protestors yesterday."
a** Rumblings have started in other major cities throughout
Albania re. sympathetic protests. Most notably Shkoder, Durres and
Gjirokaster.
a** There are reports of a handful of arrests of senior police
officials following yesterday's incident. Investigation is now underway as
to who gave the order to fire upon the crowds.
a** Rumors continue to spread within the population that agents of
the State Intelligence Service (SHISH) had infiltrated the crowds and
provoked yesterday's violence. (Comment: No proof of this, but would not
be the first time SHISH was used in this capacity).
a** Note: Great deal of fear and apprehension amongst the
populace, particularly in Tirana. Most still have vivid memories of '90
and '97. Average Albanian is still well armed following the ransacking of
weapons depots in '97 and an escalation in violence is not unthinkable.
