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.

Was described to me as close. Karzai will end up being another Noreiga.

Off the record --

DEA will proceed and take 'em (both?) down anyway, once this White House
disappears.

As I've said before, every country we have touched, turns to shit.

The brother of President Karzai of Afghanistan is under investigation by
DEA as a major narcotics trafficker. For political reasons, DEA has been
told to backoff by the White House and CIA. DEA is seeing a direct nexus
between terrorism and narcotics in Afghanistan with narcotics sales being
used to fund jihadist operations.

Imbedded DEA agents in CT ops in Afghanistan have turned up loads of
threat information and DEA sources are being used to ferret out jihadis.
Several US soldier lives were recently saved (this week) based on DEA
source information and safehouse raids in Afghanistan. SpecOps in
Afghanistan are using imbeds from DEA and ATF. FBI and ATF IED techs are
also being imbedded to learn the latest IED technology in anticipation of
the devices (eventually) showing up in CONUS.
