WikiLeaks Publishes 5 Million 'Shadow CIA' E-Mails | Common Dreams

WikiLeaks announced tonight that it is publishing documents it is calling "The Global Intelligence Files" which includes over 5 million e-mails from the US-based "Global Intelligence" company Stratfor, the Global Intelligence Company described by Barons as the Shadow CIA, according to a statement the organization released Sunday night.


WikiLeaks has partnered with 25 media organizations to publish the documents including the McClatchy newspapers and Rolling Stone.


"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."

These files are important because they reveal the growing multi-billion dollar intelligence industry that allows non-government organizations like multinationals to gain information about private citizens, activist organizations, and to precision-manipulate the political arena. It also reveals the ways in which the corporate media are actively trying to manipulate the public or omit crucial information.

Our democracy is under direct attack and Wikileaks has done us a great service by publishing this information.

I love Stratfor and have read them for years. They provide excellent analysis for foreign affairs and should be read by more people. Much of this is alarmist blabbering left over from when "Anonymous" hacked them, took customer (not high profile accounts..regular people) credit cards, and bought video games and other electronics, gained access to our email accounts (sending out phony emails in the name of the company), meanwhile fronting this as an attempt to expose corruption and giving high-profile doners' cash to causes like the Red Cross. Frankly, I support them fully. I see this as yet another attempt by a select group of advocacy organizations like Wikileaks and hackers to demean intelligence work and punish those who do not agree with their views.

I'll bet they do not show anything of the sort that is being claimed.
 
The spying on activists is just sad.

Wikileaks is a loser website. Can't wait till Julian Ass-sponge gets knocked off by the Mossad.

No, if anything the guys who find the information are the ones doing the "service". All that WikiLeaks does is offer webhosting for the info and then take all the credit even though they do nothing themselves.

Yes, I'm sure the anonymous sources are raging at not receiving 'the credit.' :roll:

How do they take the credit when they say they have sources?

People offer heaps of praise to Wikileaks even though any website could have hosted the content, the praise should go to the guys who deliver the content (even though a lot of them are just traitors to begin with).

Encourage thieves to do their bidding and get a little something for themselves in the meanwhile?

But they are the website that did it. Praise doesn't make something a loser. They have been honest about the extent of their work. They can't control what's said about them. Betrayal is sometimes a gray area. There's sometimes a difference between a good person and a good citizen.

That's the cost of transparency when the govt, security forces and corporations are being shady. Classic Robin Hood scenario, lol. You can say what you want about the thieves, but it's only going to distract people from the bigger issues at hand.

Robin Hood, my bum. Normal people had their credit card information yanked, spent, and their email accounts exploited by the very thieves that gave Wikileaks those emails.

I've never heard of that. Link info? (This is a sincere request, btw. I'm here more to read than post).

Stratfor Hacking Victims Targeted Again After Speaking Out | Fox News

With regard to individuals who have had their credit cards attacked, there had been numerous messages provided by subscribers on their Facebook page describing the charges on their accounts.

My own email account was listed in the dump, like everyone else. While I did not yet subscribe (was a mere couple weeks from doing so) to their premium services (which would have had my card number included in the dump), you can bet your butt I was pissed the hell off.

Yep, great role models these degenerates are.
 
Wikileaks cleared Venezuela of being accused of mining Uranium for Iran for weaponization purposes.

Mossad released press reports that such was the case and wiki leaked a cia cable to the press and that ****storm was quelled before it could grow.
 
Also, Anonymous is not a tightly knit organization... not completely. It has many splinter members and alot of loose agents that do as they wish.

lol. Anonymous.
That's a real bummer. You have my sympathy. Both sides aren't blameless, but the gravity of one side's transgressions is clearly greater and more alarming.

It's a branding issue. Anonymous, as a brand, has rarely done anything worthwhile. Regardless of who is or isn't in this esoteric club of theirs, many times the name is donned, people rejoice, and then when criticism hits their way, Anonymous suddenly hasn't done anything. Then we get waves of apologists who use a mixture between "their crimes were worse" (translation: sucks to be you, dude-usually followed with LAWL, LOL, or so forth-as if it's partly funny), "blame the company for bad security" (while partly true, blaming the victim, and the victim's customers, who are the biggest victims themselves is vile), or simply "Anonymous didn't do this" (as if that comforts us that no one ever knows who or what Anonymous is and it is left up to the defenders to make it up as it goes along).

"Anonymous" as a brand has publicly declared its war against those it sees as against Wikileaks, and has never been above harassing regular internet users for "teh lawls" (again, it's supposed to be funny), and Wikileaks publishes information claimed through illegal action upon illegal action and deceit to the mass media about its good intentions. I find it telling Wikileaks has made no public qualms with this.

These latest cables reveal how involved mossad is in propaganda in western media. It's pretty alarming.
