Policy makers don't get intelligence from Stratfor! For fuck's sake! You people are truly clueless! "Policy makers" get their intelligence from the CIA. Duh!

Policy makers don't get intelligence from Stratfor! For fuck's sake! You people are truly clueless! "Policy makers" get their intelligence from the CIA. Duh! No government relies on Stratfor, it would be grossly irresponsible. Stratfor makes most of its money from corporations that operate in foreign countries and are not large enough or important enough to have CIA-access. This means corporations OUTSIDE the military-industrial-security complex. Anyone inside this complex uses Stratfor for light reading at most. The real intelligence is classified and is available to megacorps that collaborate with the CIA.

Nice wording, "You people are truly clueless?". Well one thing is clear, whatever kind of opposite world you live in large corporations don't have any influence over government policy. There is no one on that client list who deals with anything policy related at all! The interesting things about company emails is that they tend to not communicate to the outside world. Yes "Policy Makers" only get intelligence from the CIA. Since out of the huge intelligence budget the only agency we have that deals with matters outside of the US is the CIA. Think tanks and other non governmental institutions are for people other than "Policy Makers" I hope I'm keeping up the theme of saying completely backwards stuff! Or that you just....clueless.

  You're just flat out ignorant regarding the nature of Stratfor. It's not a think tank! It's not a big corporation! Stratfor serves medium and small corporations! Hack the CFR. Hack the Brookings institute. Hack the RAND corporation. Hack the DoD. Hack the Tavistock institute and the Club of Rome and the Heritage foundation. Hack the Ford Foundation and the Rockefeller foundation and hack Harvard and hack Yale and hack the New York Times. Hack Monsanto and KBR and Blackwater and GM and GE and News Corp. Hack the RIAA and hack AIPAC. Hack Blue Cross and Pfizer. Hack Goldman Sachs and Timothy Geithner. Stratfor does not fall into this category. They are an unbiased high quality news source that serves small and medium businesses. They are not directly attached to the military industrial complex. What you're clueless about is Stratfor. It's a small business with 70 employees. It's not a think tank and it's work even exposes the influence of the megacorps that run your country. It exposed the influence that international finance was having on the Euro crisis in a completely unbiased way, for instance. The rest of the media wouldn't even touch the Euro crisis with anything resembling a realistic appraisal. Stratfor just cut right to the heart. High quality journalism for about the same price as The Economist. Stratfor was on the good team. Anonymous just committed a friendly fire incident.
