Wikileaks and a private company of Spies

Just a little more information from wikileaks

You have to wonder how many more entities are doing collections for all the spook agencies and private/public companies ? I did find some of their ways and means that Stratfor gathers its' information both intriguing and concerning with how the data is used.

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 Defense Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor’s web of informers, pay-off structure, payment-laundering techniques and psychological methods, for example:
"[Y]ou have to take control of him. Control means financial, sexual or psychological control... This is intended to start our conversation on your next phase" – CEO George Friedman to Stratfor analyst Reva Bhalla on 6 December 2011, on how to exploit an Israeli intelligence informant providing information on the medical condition of the President of Venezuala, Hugo Chavez

I have no problem with data on world leaders where they (Stratfor) cross the line IMO........You have to control him/them through black mail is what some of this sounds like to me... Also they pay money via a Swiss bank account or prepaid credit cards for their paid informants.. Something like 1200$ a month just to keep someone on tap; probably a great bonus for some real dirt ?... Even the government/clients realizes a private company with feet on the ground can gather information that all their high tech intercepts might miss.

Stratfor gave a complimentary membership to the controversial Pakistan general Hamid Gul, former head of Pakistan’s ISI intelligence service, who, according to US diplomatic cables, planned an IED attack on international forces in Afghanistan in 2006.

Stratfor is very good at what they do so I'm not surprised by their methods. That they could flip ppl for $1200 a month shows how good they are and shows how stupid the targets are. Pretty much just happy they are on our side...Supposedly.

You forgot to reveal their little mishap of a few years ago.

They had a abundance of warnings, well in advance, but like the Capt. of the H.M.S. Titanic, FSA !!

Its either whistle while you work or milk goats.
Take your pick.

Does this have anything to do with the Aswan brothers? because it looks like they replaced the routers for a lot of the people in congress from their own technology company, it is probable after the wikileaks dark matter release that the hardware is infected with malware.
