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've reported you to The Vatican and to Rev Al Sharpton, Obama's SecDef.

Frankly, I think the Izzies let Hezbollah win to get more money from the

US. It was a ponzi scheme. Schlomo probably paid Abdul a cut.

No, the community comes pre-organized. And ready to rock and roll. Drop

by some time.

Are rabbis community organizers?



Can I be a community organizer? I started a riot once in my old patrol

beat, does that qualify?

The very term "community organizer" is an oxymoron in Israel. We started

with 12 tribes. At least one got lost. The rest went to war with each

other. Then there was a nice party and everybody made up. Obama we don't

need; Christian Zionist donations and tourism dollars, another story

altogether!

That's old school. Unfortunately, the new generation are more interested

in hair gel, gold chains, and helping the Palestinians...



Don't worry, the Baptists have the Tribes back.

The IDF fought sober. Huge mistake. Never again.

A group of us is getting together after work this Friday the 12th to go

shoot some firearms at Red's indoor range off of 290 W. Everyone is

invited to go and see if they can beat the reigning master, known none

other as Quick-Draw McAwesome Sledge (that would be me). So if you feel

lucky or maybe have some skill with a weapon, then I invite you to come

out and kill some families of paper targets. If you don't own a weapon

you can rent one there. Following this event we'll be off to a bar

downtown for a little happy hour and tasty beverages so all you losers can

drown your sorrows of sucking so bad and I can gloat and bask in my superb

and superior marksmanship skills. Hope to see everyone there!
