Wikileaks has in the last couple of hours released the remaining “Global Intelligence Files” files. This comes as a response to the sentencing of Jeremy Hammond for 10 years imprisonment. This was a result of stealing and selling the internal emails of the Global Intelligence firm Stratfor.

Jeremy Hammond had been associated with the “Hactivist group” Anonymous.

Stratfor is,

“a geopolitical intelligence firm that provides strategic analysis and forecasting to individuals and organizations around the world. By placing global events in a geopolitical framework, we help customers anticipate opportunities and better understand international developments.” – Stratfor About Us

Wikileaks began to release these files in Feb 2013 that,

“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 Defense Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor’s web of informers, pay-off structure, payment-laundering techniques and psychological methods,”

– Wikileaks Press release Feb 27 2013

Wikileaks have now completely released the remaining 500, 000 files which bring the total to 5 500, 000.
