# 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.

## INSIGHT - IRAN/US: Pro-Democracy groups less funding

From our CANVAS source (he wrote it all in English, not my translation)
Iran policy is largely made in the NSC under Dennis Ross. There is a
growing
Iran function at the State Department under Deputy Assistant Secretary
John
Limbert.
Under previous congresses, appropriations for Iran democracy programs
increased from
$1.5 million in Fiscal Year 2004 to $60 million in Fiscal Year 2008.
For Fiscal Year 2009, the Bush Administration requested $65 million for
Iran democracy
programs.
But with a Democratic White House and Congress, the final FY 2009 omnibus
appropriations bill came to the House floor with no line item for Iran
democracy.
Instead, the majority invented a new account a** the Near East Regional
Democracy Fund
a** and gave it only $25 million.
While no official document exists stating the purpose of this fund
(appropriately
nicknamed the NERD), State Department officials claim it will be used for
Iran democracy programs. But to date, none of the funds have been
obligated a**
and Fiscal Year 2009 ended on September 30.
On October 6, the Boston Globe reported that at least four groups that
previously
received funding for Iran democracy programs had been cut off by the Obama
Administration. Most notable were the Iran Human Rights Documentation
Center, which
received word its State Department grant was terminated just as it was
ramping up
investigations into the post-election crackdown -- and Freedom House Iran,
a leader in
exposing the regimea**s violence via cell phone images, photographs and
eye
witness
testimony.
USAID & State offered $20m from July 2008 to end June 2009 but spent none
of
this.
After the June 12, 2009, the NSC decided to neutralize the effect of
existing programs, which had all begun under Bush. Apparently the
rationale
was that the US did not want to be seen to interfere in Iranian internal
politics. The US does not want to give the Iranian regime an excuse to say
no during the nuclear talks nor provide the EU 3 (UK, France, Germany)
with
the opportunity to claim that the US is not serious about engagement.
As a result, the Iran Human Rights Documentation Center, Freedom House,
IFES and IRI had substantial funding requests turned down.
USAID & State gave $3m to ABA to train Iranian lawyers and IRD, an
organization that mainly does economic development, received $3m to do a
Persian language website. We know than IFES has received a smal amount of
continuation funding for existing projects.
