First, none are really aware of
the political pressures on other elites. Second, they
completely misunderstand the alienation of the publics, three,
except for Volcker, they think this can be handled by the elites
among themselves. We have a crisis of the elites, in my view.
Back in the day, we would have been planning his (and Chavez's)
helicopter "accident."

100 million people plus won't take long going through 5 million emails. There'll be eyes all over this material the second it's been released.

In my view the ourtcome of this is turkish power. But remeber,
my insight is not that israel will attack. Its that kissinger
thinks they will attack. Huge difference.

I don't agree.. the e-mails show the inner workings of a company involved in "intelligence" operations for major corporations and government agencies.. It can be quite revealing, especially if talking about corruption or wrongdoing ..
The Hack on Stratfor
In early December I received a call from Fred Burton, Stratfor's vice president of intelligence. He told me he had received information indicating our website had been hacked and our customer credit card and other information had been stolen. The following morning I met with an FBI special agent, who made clear that there was an ongoing investigation and asked for our cooperation. We, of course, agreed to cooperate. The matter remains under active investigation.
From the beginning I faced a dilemma. I felt bound to protect our customers, who quickly had to be informed about the compromise of their privacy. I also felt bound to protect the investigation. That immediate problem was solved when the FBI told us it had informed the various credit card companies and had provided those companies with a list of compromised cards while omitting that it had come from us. Our customers were therefore protected, as the credit card companies knew the credit cards and other information had been stolen and could act to protect the customers. We were not compelled to undermine the investigation.

Exactly, it might also show 'collusion' between corporations and intel they might plant for their benefit - i.e. disinfo.edit on 26-2-2012 by Blackmarketeer because: (no reason given)
