Stratfor Affairs
ikileaks has begun publishing millions of emails from global espionage and intelligence contractor Stratfor, dating between 2004 and 2011. "You have to take control of him.

Stratfor touts itself as a leading provider of geopolitical analysis, and according to reports, provides intelligence to major U.S. corporations and government agencies, such as the Department of Homeland Security and the Defense Intelligence Agency. One only has to examine the budgets of these organizations to realize that there is a great deal of money to be had by contracting one s services.
