The Global Intelligence Files

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.

I agree with you, cynical to certain point. Almost all politicians have

some dirt in them, it depends if they play big leagues or just triple A.

He's a dirty politician. No different then Bill Clinton, but richer.

Calderon is also turning up the rhetorical heat on the United States

right now. He's going to be throwing a lot of blame for everything

from the Sinaloa Cartel to original sin.

Both. I've seen surveillance reports of Trevino eating at a narco

restaurant in Laredo. El Chapo has also shopped at the outlets on

35.

It'd totally make sense for El Chapo... but is it plausible that

the U.S. wouldn't detect him? Or wouldn't detain him?

This is not beyond the realm of possibilities. Zeta HVT's

routinely shop and dine in Laredo. I've seen one report where

some may also have safe houses in various cities, like Beverly

Hills.

'El Chapo' Could be Hiding in US: Calderon

Mexico's President Felipe Calderon told the New York Times

that he thinks fugitive drug lord Joaquin Guzman, alias "El

Chapo," may be hiding out in the U.S.



In newly-released extracts, translated into Spanish, from an

interview with the newspaper, Calderon expressed his

suspicions that Guzman, head of the Sinaloa Cartel, was

sheltering on the northern side of the border.



When asked about the recent reports that Guzman's wife had

traveled to Los Angeles to give birth, and whether Mexican

authorities had tried to stop and interrogate her about the

drug lord's whereabouts, Calderon replied that that was a

question for the U.S. border authorities. He suggested that

Guzman might have been present for the birth, and said he

wondered why the U.S. authorities didn't capture the cartel

boss.



The president went on to say that "it is amazing that [Chapo]

and his wife are so relaxed in the U.S., which leads me to

wonder ... how many Mexican capos will be more relaxed on the

northern side of the border than on the southern side?"



Calderon's government has often faced accusations of

collaborating with the Sinaloa Cartel and lacking the

political will to recapture the Sinaloa boss, who escaped from

prison in 2001.



Guzman (pictured above, next to image of wife Emma Coronel)

has been variously rumored to be hiding out in Argentina,

Bolivia, and Guatemala, as well as in his stronghold in the

mountains of Durango, Mexico.
