Stratfor, a U.S. private intelligence firm nicknamed the "Shadow CIA", is a profoundly twisted organization. Stratfor is formally known as Strategic Forecasting, Inc. and was founded in 1996 by George Friedman in Austin, Texas. For the past 20 years Stratfor has been providing the CIA, President of the United States, Catholic Church and countless private companies with intelligence reports and analysis.

What few people realize, however, is that the individuals running the organization from Austin have nothing short of a few screws loose. In some cases they are literally even criminals, pedophiles and psychopaths with absolutely no exaggeration whatsoever as unfortunate as that sounds. Perhaps the worst of it all is that no law enforcement or government agency is or has ever investigated Stratfor and thus they continue to enjoy lucrative contracts and a "sterling" reputation.

Were it not for WikiLeaks' Global Intelligence Files, a collection of leaked emails from within Stratfor, perhaps we would have never known any of this at all. While no official investigation is happening as of posting this, perhaps this collection of "highlights" from the Global Intelligence Files will help stir up some motivation. Some of these emails come from Stratfor's "Secure" and "ALPHA" mailing lists, which respectively are of the highest priority communications at Stratfor.

"Highlights" (and I use this term very loosely) include:

• "Pizza" parties: "We only have one slice and we need to know how thinly to slice it..."
• "Hot dog" parties: "If we get the same 'waitresses,' I'm all for it!!!"
• George Friedman comparing intelligence gathering to stalking children on their way home from school
• Stratfor employee asks their boss if a fellow employee was caught in pedophile bust
• Stratfor employee says "Branden Allen left his ammo in my living room" after Branden Allen murdered his girlfriend
• Literal craziness

A larger compilation of notable and high-priority emails (around 30) can be found on Stratfor's Pizzagate Wiki page.

Headcount for pizza

Chris Douglas:

Headcount!

Who all is in the Austin office today who is going to want pizza? We only have one slice and we need to know how thinly to slice it...

Simply send a single response, filed, color-coded, double-sided and appropriately labeled, signed in triplicate and set on fire.

Robin Blackburn:

Does the pizza offer include those of us who can't make the meeting because we're out here editing? 'Cos if so, count me in.

This e-mail is color-coded in black and white and will combust in 30 seconds.

Fred Burton:

Anyone else see this in G's new piece?

Stratfor analysts notice peculiar paragraph in a book written by their boss, George Friedman:

Find a school and see the children leave at the end of the day. You want the schools where there is pushing and shoving and where older brothers come to walk their sisters home. You are now where you should be. Look at their shoes. Look at their cute little skirts. Invite them into your taxi and give them a ride home. Then go back to their house every day to watch them. Yes, watch their geopolitical little bodies. Excellent.

Marko Papic:

"HOLY SHIT G, THAT DOES NOT SOUND RIGHT!!!!!!!!"
And to think I just forwaded this to my mom.

Ben West:

Is Bayless' name on there?

Source: Global Intelligence Files - Email #750968

Bayless Parsley is an analyst at Stratfor and can be found in many of the emails here in fact.

David McCullar

I'm going to let this one speak for itself for the most part, but the reader should know that David McCullar is the son of Stratfor employee Mike McCullar. Mike McCullar has been Stratfor's "Director of Special Projects" for many years. Apparently Mike used his work email to track the emails of his son David without David's knowledge. Why?

David McCullar is also an admitted schizophrenic who does not take his medication and says that he was abused in the past. Over several years David McCullar threatened Stratfor employees with physical violence, stalked women and now claims to be "desensitized by rape and jihad and porn".(1)

I should mention as well that this isn't to judge David on a personal level for his psychological conditions, but by all means he is in severe need of proper treatment as he exhibits, if he hasn't already, tremendous capacity for violence and criminal behavior. It also makes you wonder what "special projects" Stratfor are conducting.

Here's at least one example of what exactly is wrong with David, including a hint of possible involvement with convicted murderer Branden Allen. Here David writes to practicing attorney Lloyd Wilson which in turn was CC'd to Mike McCullar:

Wall of text warning!

Lloyd Wilson,

Hopefully you remember me as Scott Kidd's friend and a member of the Good Shepherd church where you went to preschool if I remember correctly. I fell asleep to a transgression of a pattern late this December and am concerned that Brandon Chandler and Katie Holmes or my upstairs neighbor got into my apartment that night and videotaped her giving me a handjob. It is just very confusing because I know I have been talking in my sleep, and this followed hearing voices outside of my window for about 3 weeks from another neighbor in the building where I live across the street from Lyndon B. Johnson's nephew (maybe Leif's dad?) following a concert that I didn't go to because of what happened online after I talked to someone about the other girl I know online who is mysterious in communicating her identity. They all stalked to the lyric "I want a call, request through heating vents" and I am honestly concerned that it was taken way too far. It seems like harassment because I have quite a temper, and it has all followed my testimony in court following Angelina Jolie's 32nd birthday. That isn't what I testified for. I testified because I had reason to believe that Branden Allen (not Brandon Allen Chandler) shot Lindsay Luekenholdter. About the incident of falling asleep "with the lights on" one of the things I remember saying was "put something on it". The reason why I don't know who I saw is because all I remember seeing was the back of their head. I have read that Angelina is pregnant with twins, so there is reason to believe that her belly could have formed since then. I want to make sure that if there is a baby of mine other than Angelina's perhaps, that it won't be given birth to by my upstairs neighbor. I think I saw Angelina last night, when my usual Friday night online acquaintance wasn't available for once since I got my new computer. I don't want to get this blown out of proportion, which is why I have written to you, since our elders are involved in legalities like you and Mary Wommack if that's right. Unfortunately I find myself very reactive when sublimations are made like "I am walking my female dog while your grandmother is being taken to the hospital by EMS" by the same woman neighbor, who also makes noises like how my mother used to call her cats. The guy who wrote the lyric "feasting on Ma Brett" would probably say "we cunt be heard" about this. I really wish women didn't try to provoke conflict here after Branden Allen left his ammo in my living room. It gives me bad vibes. The neighbors I am making reference to are all here on Windsor Rd, and not at Summit Court.

sincerely,
David McCullar

For those who don't know, Branden Allen shot his girlfriend Lindsay Luekenholdter to death in Austin, Texas two years before this email. Why exactly did a convicted murderer leave his ammunition at what might very well be a Stratfor employee's house?

Conclusion

All in all something is very wrong at Stratfor and what's contained here is only a brief scratch of the surface. This "private intelligence company" seems more like a certain "central intelligence agency" gone haywire in terms of its knowledge and capabilities. For instance Stratfor claims knowledge that Osama bin Laden was not buried at sea but rather taken to the United States.(2) Stratfor also claims to have been involved in such unusual "intelligence" activities as rail bombings in the European country of Georgia.(3)
