Unless someone can correct me, by directing me to some actual evidence of any
M$M outlet even mentioning the 1.5 hour PRESS CONFERENCE in Australia about
this shwarmy sleazy corporate privatization of our country's "national security"
activities .. including spying, entrapment into sexually "embarrassing" situations,
providing agent provocateurs, you name it.
Did I miss something?
BTW - if you'd like to see this presser, go to: http://www.livestream.com/occupyptown
then double click on the "Latest Videos" at bottom of screen title "Wikileaks Truth Bomb"
as it was recently archived at this site. See it while you can.

And THEN most people will think it's just fiction.
But at least it will be "out there".

(865 posts)I can't get the linked video to play. You are correct in that I can't find anything on an Australian presser on Stratfor.
The AAS has several articles on Stratfor.
most recent:
http://www.statesman.com/blogs/content/shared-gen/blogs/austin/theticker/entries/2012/02/27/hacking_fallout_continues_for.html
From what I can see, Stratfor is mainly just a danger to the bank accounts of the corporations that hire them. They don't seem especially competent. They are based here Austin and my take on them is they are just an opportunistic company scamming from paranoid corporations.
Other MSM is covering them. Here's one from the AP via the AAS
