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.

Trump: I won't run for president in 2012

May 16 09:19 PM US/Eastern

Real estate mogul and reality television star Donald Trump announced he

would not seek the Republican presidential nomination in 2012, breaking

off a controversial flirtation with politics.



"After considerable deliberation and reflection, I have decided not to

pursue the office of the presidency," he said in a statement. "Business is

my greatest passion and I am not ready to leave the private sector,

besides, I don't think my hair could stand up to it!!"



The developer, 64, had openly flirted with a White House run over over the

past few months and made a healthy showing in some public opinion polls

despite skepticism and outright mockery among the US political

establishment.



Trump drew attention -- and attacks -- by advancing already discredited

charges that President Barack Obama had concealed his birth certificate to

hide that he was foreign born and thus ineligible for the White House.



But political analysts suggested from the start that Trump, a relentless

self-promoter, was chiefly looking to beef up the potential audience for

his reality television show and would not run for president.



"This decision does not come easily or without regret," said Trump. "I

maintain the strong conviction that if I were to run, I would be able to

win the primary and ultimately, the general election."



Trump was the second high-profile potential candidate in days to rule out

a Republican White House run after former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee,

a particular favorite of religious conservatives, said over the weekend

that he would not seek the party's nomination.



With many Republicans grumbling that their party's field of candidates

lacks a political star to take on Obama, Trump vowed to keep speaking out

"loudly" but did not endorse any of the other potential White House

hopefuls.



"I look forward to supporting the candidate who is the most qualified to

help us tackle our country's most important issues," he said.



Trump also said he was "hopeful that, when this person emerges, he or she

will have the courage to take on the challenges of the office and be the

agent of change that this country so desperately needs."
