RE: IS THE NEW AGE REALLY COMING?
2/27/2012 9:57:44 PM
While I take the following with reservation, I nevertheless am posting it for the cheerful effect it has on me

Benjamin Fulford 2-27-12…”U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner arrested, questioned and released; Asian negotiations continue”… “The CBS news network in the US…has…broken with the cabalists”

Another “Wow, Really?” report from Ben. This on the heels of last week’s multiple bank arrest reports. According to Ben, the arrests are ongoing, and the nightingales are singing. Geithner, Berlusconi, et al.

And the line that I’m sure many of us already knew, or sensed, which heartens me the most, was that “The CBS news network in the US now has also broken with the cabalists…” I knew it. I knew it!!! (so which news station might we turn our televisions to now??!!)

This is an indication that the world soap opera has taken a very positive turn for humanity, and is headed in the direction that will move us up and out of the old cabal-directed one. I can deal with that!

PS. Added an updated photo of Ben.

Highlights

  • …the collapse of the Satan worshipping financial mafia is accelerating.
  • U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner was detained for questioning by New York police on February 24th and was released after giving evidence about many high level financial criminals… Former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi of Italy is also proving to be very talkative, sources in Europe say.
  • …meetings between White Dragon Society representatives and South Korean government officials last week in Seoul were very productive.
  • In general what has happened is that dozens of high level informants have come forth in the past weeks and detailed testimony by them is being gathered.
  • The most interesting revelation given by the Rothschilds is that Queen Victoria was actually the illegitimate daughter of Nathaniel Rothschild. That means Rothschild’s had managed to place family members at the head of the British, German and Russian empires by the time World War I started.
  • So, in the big picture of things we are witnessing the collapse of the Rothschild attempt to crown themselves as monarchs of a world government with a capital in Jerusalem.
  • The competing attempt by George Bush Sr. and the Nazi faction to set up a 1000 year reich is also collapsing. Geithner has already told the police that both he and Obama work for Bush. The Bushes, like Geithner and others are not allowed to leave the US now.
  • Elected Prime Minister George Papandreous is expected to return to power soon and replace cabal puppet Lucas Papademos…
  • The cabalists… latest scam… involves the $6 trillion worth of 1934 gold back securities that were seized in Switzerland recently.
  • The pentagon has already told top cabalist attack dog Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel that they would shoot down any Israeli planes that tried to trigger this war by attacking Iran.
  • The CBS news network in the US now has also broken with the cabalists and has begun information warfare with cabalist propaganda outlets like CNN and Fox.
  • …in Asia, signs of harmony and unity are multiplying…. the South Koreans agreed on unification between North and South Korea based on the principle of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un a ceremonial post…
  • …confiscations of assets illegally obtained by cabalists are expected to take place around the planet, especially in the USA.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner arrested, questioned and released; Asian negotiations continue

As predicted, the collapse of the Satan worshipping financial mafia is accelerating. U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner was detained for questioning by New York police on February 24th and was released after giving evidence about many high level financial criminals, according to New York police sources. “In most cases we have to slap people to get them to talk but in his case we had to slap him to shut him up,” one of the interrogators joked. Geithner has been released but is accompanied at all times by an armed deputy to make sure he does not leave the country. Former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi of Italy is also proving to be very talkative, sources in Europe say. Berlusconi has been released. Meanwhile, meetings between White Dragon Society representatives and South Korean government officials last week in Seoul were very productive.

is first report further on the ongoing chaos in Europe and the US before returning to the Asian negotiations. In general what has happened is that dozens of high level informants have come forth in the past weeks and detailed testimony by them is being gathered. Apart from Geithner and Berlusconi, the talking big fish include members of the Rothschild family who have come forth with startling information.

The most interesting revelation given by the Rothschilds is that Queen Victoria was actually the illegitimate daughter of Nathaniel Rothschild. That means Rothschild’s had managed to place family members at the head of the British, German and Russian empires by the time World War I started. Hitler was also a Rothschild who wanted to be crowned King of the world and who helped found Israel by chasing the Jews out of Europe. Their infiltration of the highest levels of world power continued in the post war period. So, in the big picture of things we are witnessing the collapse of the Rothschild attempt to crown themselves as monarchs of a world government with a capital in Jerusalem.

The competing attempt by George Bush Sr. and the Nazi faction to set up a 1000 year reich is also collapsing. Geithner has already told the police that both he and Obama work for Bush. The Bushes, like Geithner and others are not allowed to leave the US now.

The names of some of the many top cabalists being fingered by high level defectors will be listed at the end of this report.

In other signs of the collapsing old regime, the Greeks have clearly told the EU to put their latest bail out where the sun does not shine. Elected Prime Minister George Papandreous is expected to return to power soon and replace cabal puppet Lucas Papademos, according to Europe based CIA sources.

The Italians are also deciding they do not want to become part of the greater German empire and have begun actively preparing a return to the Lira, the sources said.

The cabalists for their part are still fighting to preserve their power and control. The latest scam they are working on involves the $6 trillion worth of 1934 gold back securities that were seized in Switzerland recently. These bonds were tied to financier and Bush/Clinton bagman Mark Rich of Glencore Commodities. The plan was to place Hillary Clinton at the head of the World Bank and have her use the World Bank to launder the bonds and give the money to the communist government in China. The Chinese, in return, were supposed to turn a blind eye to the continuing European Central Bank and Federal Reserve Board scams.

The cabalists have also tried yet again to assassinate Russia’s Vladimir Putin in an attempt to regain control of Russia in a desperate attempt to revive the insane plan to get the Russians to help start the World War 3 they feel is needed to complete their plans for world domination.

The pentagon has already told top cabalist attack dog Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel that they would shoot down any Israeli planes that tried to trigger this war by attacking Iran.

The CBS news network in the US now has also broken with the cabalists and has begun information warfare with cabalist propaganda outlets like CNN and Fox.

Meanwhile, in Asia, signs of harmony and unity are multiplying. Discussions last week in Korea between a White Dragon Society representatives and South Korean representatives reached agreement in principle on many issues. First of all, the South Koreans agreed on unification between North and South Korea based on the principle of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un a ceremonial post (perhaps “symbol of unity”) and a palace. After North South unification, talks could begin on greater East Asian economic and political integration.

The South Koreans also agreed to the plan to set up a new international economic planning agency in Japan so long as it was also possible to set up a major new private sector financial center near Pusan, South Korea.

There was also agreement on the issue of having Asian nations continue to support the transition of the pentagon into a global peacekeeping force merged with the Russian and Chinese militaries.

A Chinese delegation is expected in Japan soon to further develop the ideas explored in South Korea.

In Japan, meanwhile, the Yakuza understand their funds in the US were frozen by Bush flunky David S. Cohen.

There will be partial retaliation when senior cabal operative Ichiro Ozawa is arrested on tax evasion and has his funds frozen. There will also be confiscation of Japanese listed company stocks and other assets in Japan illegally taken over by the cabal. This confiscation is expected to affect at least 30% of the total value of all listed shares in Japan as well as considerable amounts of real estate.

Similar confiscations of assets illegally obtained by cabalists are expected to take place around the planet, especially in the USA.

Although it is still premature to give a timetable on further arrests, here is a partial (non-alphabetical) list of people (many who have tried to keep a low profile) who have been informed upon by the recent wave of cabal defectors:

The “family of three.”
The Medicis and Borgias
The Club of Rome
Larry Summers
Paul Volcker
Wylie Aitken
Vernon Jordan
Admiral William Crowe
Richard Haas
Felix Warburg
John Jacob Astor
Lord Pillsbury
Bill Hicks
Kiyohika Nishimura
David Gergen
Lamar Smith
J. Rockefeller
Yotaro Kobayashi
John Snow
Mark Rich
David Cohen
James Cameron (his family got rich from opium)
John Roberts
Paul Wolfowitz
Frank Carlucci
Peter Hans Kolvenbach (the former black pope)
George Bush Senior

RE: IS THE NEW AGE REALLY COMING?

Now for a change of pace: this message is so inspiring and powerful!

Message from the Galactic Federation of Light 2/26/12



We have a lot of things to do. Each of you has his part to play in the role of your end times and your journey as a planet and people through ascension. We have outlined previously what we must get done together, and these projects must get underway very soon. What these projects will mean for the people of your world is incalculable, and beneficial to all across your globe.

We, the Galactic Federation of Light, would like to get started immediately and we require the assistance of the people of your world to help us gain acceptance by those who either have yet no idea of who we are and those who have allowed fear to convince them that we are here for destructive purposes. You are our agents in the field who can reach these people. It is you that can allow them to see a clearer picture of us and what we do. Your task is not an easy one, and many will shun your attempts to show them an alternative view to our presence here. Their reaction will be fear-based, and as we have said all along it is fear that is, and has always been your greatest enemy.

It is fear that caused so many of you to give your power over to those who only wish to enslave you, and it is fear that caused you to support their military campaigns and allow them to stockpile vast amounts of weapons, and because of this we, that is you and us, have to deal with the tasks now of removing the ones you have empowered and also safely remove their weaponry which is scattered and hidden all over, within, and above your planet. This is no easy task but we, along with our Earth allies, are seeing to this task and we ask you, our Lightworkers, to complete your assignment to the best of your abilities.

You are being asked at this time to help spread the word of our arrival and of our peaceful intentions. You are being asked to spread the news of the pending arrests of those of your criminal Cabal who have evil plans for humanity. This is what you are being asked to do at this time. We see much activity on your Internet social networks, but we also see much time being wasted with matters not mentioned above. Fear-based discussions consume much of the time of so many of you, as well as comical posts and discussions, and we ask you could you have better utilized this time to make a difference in your world? How many souls could you have reached out to in the time spent copying and pasting that silly photograph or story that is unrelated to the vital matters at hand?

We see so many reading these words and we do see some of you taking action, but not nearly enough of you. Have we not assured you that this is why you are here? So many of you hear these words and you also feel these words as there is no denying they resonate with you and something inside you tells you this is the truth, yet you fail to respond to your calling. What is it? Is it the fear of ridicule? Do the words of those that you know are un-awakened and sleepwalking really bother you that much? Why? Do you not believe our words when we tell you that all will see soon enough that you spoke the truth and that you are a leader of your fellow man?

This is your shining moment. You are the hero of the moment, yet you do not respond. Is it fear of reprisals from the dark ones that keep you from sharing our messages and news of imminent arrests? Ask yourself how many of your fellow Lightworkers have been harmed in any way. Ask yourself why our channels are permitted to freely and safely continue to share our words. Why do so many of you still give your power over to another? Why do you empower those that wish to control you by feeding them power they do not themselves possess without your generosity? This is the question before you today.

So many of you are waiting for action, for arrests to be broadcast through your television sets and for the landings of our ships and we tell you again today that it is we that are awaiting you. We tell you that the arrests are imminent, for indeed they are; we only share the truth with you. They are imminent because it is you that is so close. It is you that only need to push through the last few inches of a concrete wall that only months ago was twenty feet thick. We say again, time is running short and we need to begin our many vital projects together. Push through the last few inches of that wall and let us get underway changing your world for the better.

It has been such a long time for many of you when you realized your world needs vast changes, and we know many of you thought that they would never come as so many of your friends, family, coworkers and strangers alike could not see what you saw so clearly. We tell you now that they can see clearly today, but it is you that must paint the picture for them to see. If you do, they will see. They can now see, but what do they see now that their eyes are opening for the first time in eons? They see stories of chemtrails , of assassination conspiracies, of alien abductions, of shape shifting reptilians, of ghosts and apparitions, of conspiracies on every conceivable level, yet they do not see news of the imminent arrests of the Cabal and that we are here and that we wish to reunite with you, our family from long ago. We wish to see this. Your brothers and sisters need to see this. Can you allow them to see this?

It was understood by each one of you, our trusted Lightworkers, that your task would not be an easy one, but that is why it was you that were chosen for this assignment. We knew you could get the job done, and many of you have gotten this job done not once, but many times before and we know you will get the job done once again.

Moving towards discussions of our ongoing battle with these dark ones, we are again happy to report that their fighting forces continue to go down one by one, minute by minute. They no longer possess any of their advanced weaponry that at one time slowed our progress as we had to carefully maneuver around their ‘minefields’ while taking out their space fighters. Today, their hazardous weaponry has been dismantled, and we enjoy the luxury of removing their space fighters at will according to our schedule. The forces of the dark will present no problem to us or to you when it is time to move ahead with the next phase of our joint operation. Again, we wish to make it clear that you are not waiting on us; we are waiting on you and your progress.

As we have said, agreements have been reached with a certain number of your media outlets and news of the arrests of the criminal Cabal and of our presence will be made available to the people of your world. This will be a milestone in our campaign, and will be a tremendous boost to our combined efforts. It does not have to be explained to many of you how important your media is to this effort, and we assure you at this time that your media will cooperate.

We have a meticulous plan to bring the news of our presence to many of your world, and we see this plan succeeding in every way towards this goal. We are anxious to get underway with this phase of the operation as are many of you. We do see this day approaching and it is drawing very near. We ask you again to set the table for these events to unfold by sharing the news of the pending arrests and what your people can expect after the path has been cleared for our arrival. We thank you all so much once again for all the difficult work you are doing and assure you that your efforts will not be in vain, as together we will succeed, and a new Earth will blossom from the soil we tend to today.

Your new Earth will be a paradise, free of those of the dark who have systematically destroyed all you have tried to build. Your new Earth will be a beautiful garden, where you will be free to cultivate all your dreams and creative desires. Your new Earth will be a playground for you to all play together, and your new Earth will be a workplace where you can all work together to get jobs done. Nothing will stand in your way any longer, and many of you will be absolutely amazed at the progress that can be made with the right amount of effort now that those who have hindered you so have been removed.

You will be free to build your world anyway you see fit, and all will proceed democratically according to a fair and proper vote. We will assist you in the formation of your new leadership, but after its inception, it is all up to you. This is your world, and you will be free to make your own decisions. Remain aware however, that what has transpired here throughout your history will never be permitted to happen again.

The atrocities and the violence were only permitted here in the name of research, to find ways to better design and build new worlds throughout this universe, but after this experiment is completed, much of what has happened here will not be permitted to ever happen again. Much has been learned from this experiment and your efforts here, and many new alliances and friendships have been forged. The information derived from this experiment is invaluable, and we thank each and every one of you for your participation in this grand endeavor.

This entire universe has, and will continue to benefit greatly from what has been accomplished here, and your planet and her people will be hailed for many eons to come for their service to the sacred cause of creation. Many models for other worlds have been created from the molds of civilizations from throughout your history. Many of you will be quite surprised to learn that historic civilizations of your past history here live on to flourish on other planets throughout this universe. What a wondrous sight this will be for you to behold when you will have the opportunity to visit these worlds and witness for yourself civilizations you have only read about in your history books or have caught only glimpses of through the ruins of their art and architecture.

Could you imagine what miraculous sites await you as you approach a planet that is home to a favorite civilization of not only your recorded history, but your favorite historical civilization that you yourself have experienced in your distant past? This is one treasure that awaits you just up ahead on your journey.

We have shared with you that the universe possesses many gifts and surprises for you, and your expectations will never be let down, you can be assured of this, as the creator's home is vast, it is never ending, and it is magnificent.

It is not like you to turtle up into a shell. You have all been through so much adversity, far more than anything you are experiencing at this time. Many of you have faced an opposing army and have bravely charged into certain peril. You have faced disasters of nature and disasters of man, and each time you faced these challenges with bravery. What is holding you back today? A little ridicule from others who yet to see the greater picture? Is this the obstacle you allow to stand in your way of your new Earth and all it promises for you, your family, friends. and every one of your brothers and sisters of your world?

Do you realize today that the historical accounts of all your efforts here will be preserved for all future generations to come? Do you not see that the historical record of what you are achieving today will be preserved not only here, but throughout this universe? We ask you at this time what further motivation do you require? There will always be those who laugh and there will always be those who scorn, but we ask you where in your current history books are their story and their names. You have the opportunity to make history, what is stopping you from making it?

We ask you at this time for a charge from each of you forward, pushing through the last of the defenses that keep you from reclaiming what is, has always been, and will always be rightfully yours. Do you want this? Will you reclaim it? Because it is there for you, and it awaits your decision and your action.

We see you reclaiming what is yours. This is why you are here, and you will not return home empty handed. What is the tale you want to recite upon your return to your home worlds? Will it be a tale of defeat because you wished not to be ridiculed? Is this the story you wish to share with those who await your triumphant return? Or is there another tale you wish to bring with you home? It is all up to you, and we await your decision.

Many battles and wars have been fought and have been lost due to the superior forces of thy enemy, but we tell you that we are here with you and we will uphold our duty and suppress the forces of your enemy. This is our frontline, and we are succeeding. How do you fare on your front line? Are you succeeding? Will you triumph?

You have been supplied all the weaponry you need, and you have reinforcements on the way as the newly awakened ones join the ranks of the Light. Do not retreat and never surrender. This battle is yours, and it is victory you shall have.

We will continue our reconnaissance of your enemy and of your progress and continue to relay to you daily intelligence of our mutual campaign against the dark and their forces. You will be kept abreast of any changes of strategy and each phase we commence of the overall operation. Continue on in your fight against those who have oppressed you and who wish to enslave you, and we will continue our fight on our front lines. We will never retreat, and we will never desert you. We will together succeed in this epic struggle, and the forces of Light will prevail against the forces of darkness. So it has been written. And so it shall be.

We are the Galactic Federation of Light.

Dear friends, I was reacious to post anything that had to do with these mysterious light beams - among other reasons, because the present photograph is actually a 2009 one. But now that official science has taken interest on it... the article is here.

Mayan Light Beam Photo: Message from Gods, or iPhone Glitch?

By Natalie Wolchover

“El Castillo,” a Mayan temple on the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico, with a mysterious “light beam” emerging from the top. CREDIT: Hector Siliezar

When Hector Siliezar visited the ancient Mayan city of Chichen Itza with his wife and kids in 2009, he snapped three iPhone photos of El Castillo, a pyramid that once served as a sacred temple to the Mayan god Kukulkan. A thunderstorm was brewing near the temple, and Siliezar was trying to capture lightning crackling dramatically over the ruins.

In the first two images, dark clouds loom above the pyramid, but nothing is amiss. However, in the third photo, a powerful beam of light appears to shoot up from the pyramid toward the heavens, and a thunderbolt flashes in the background.

Siliezar, who recently shared his photographs with occult investigators, told Earthfiles.com that he and his family didn't see the light beam in person; it appeared only on camera. "It was amazing!" he said. He showed the iPhone photo to his fellow tourists. "No one, not even the tour guide, had ever seen anything like it before." [See photo]

The photo has surfaced on several Mayan doomsday discussion forums. But was the light beam a sign from the gods — a warning about Dec. 21, 2012, the date that marks the end of the Mayan calendar cycle, and when some people fear the world will end? Or is it simply the result of an iPhone glitch?

According to Jonathon Hill, a research technician and mission planner at the Mars Space Flight Facility at Arizona State University, which operates many of the cameras used during NASA's Mars missions, it is almost definitely the latter. Hill works with images of the Martian surface taken by rovers and satellites, as well as data from Earth-orbiting NASA instruments, and is fully versed in the wide range of potential image artifacts and equipment errors.

He says the "light beam" in the Mayan temple photo is a classic case of such an artifact — a distortion in an image that arises from the way cameras bounce around incoming light.

It is no mere coincidence, Hill said, that "of the three images, the 'light beam' only occurs in the image with a lightning bolt in the background. The intensity of the lightning flash likely caused the camera's CCD sensor to behave in an unusual way, either causing an entire column of pixels to offset their values or causing an internal reflection [off the] camera lens that was recorded by the sensor." In either case, extra brightness would have been added to the pixels in that column in addition to the light hitting them directly from the scene. [7 Things that Cause UFO Sightings]

Evidence in favor of this explanation is the fact that the beam, when isolated in Photoshop or other image analysis software, runs perfectly vertical in the image. "That's a little suspicious since it's very unlikely that the gentleman who took this picture would have his handheld iPhone camera positioned exactly parallel to the 'light beam' down to the pixel level," Hill told Life's Little Mysteries.

It's more likely that the "light beam" corresponds to a set of columns of pixels in the camera sensor that are electronically connected to each other, but not to other columns in the sensor, and that this set of connected pixels became oversaturated in the manner described above.

"That being said," Hill said, "it really is an awesome image!"

Movement “I DON’T PAY”…is spreading across Europe [and the World]

[Click any photo to enlarge]

I am putting up this video, the first time I have heard it, and this movement, the first time I have ever heard about it, because, as I watched it, my body began vibrating with a, well, a VIBRATION, a chicken skin, goose bumps, Angel bumps, Na Pele pu’u (Pele’s bumps) (found at RMN). Apparently this has started in Greece, but is moving worldwide.

Many of us, I am sure, have situations in their lives right now that completely harmonize with what is being presented in the video. I do.

So watch, and enjoy, and VIBRATE, or whatever, and please share your comments, and any other videos or links that relate. Aloha.

Here is a website listed with the video. http://oxidiodia.gr

The Apocalypse Continues: 2-27-12 WikiLeaks: Stratfor Confidential Emails Published

To me this is an example of the apocalypse, or unveiling, that is occurring on a large scale right now. This is all over the place out there by now, but this article describes the recent (well, today) release of the “Stratfor Confidential Emails”. Some may be interested.

—————————————————————————

WikiLeaks: Stratfor Confidential Emails Published

* Stratfor has been likened to a shadow CIA
* Company defiant, says it will not be cowed
* “Anonymous” hacker group helped obtain data
* Stratfor says some emails may be forged, altered

LONDON, Feb 27 (Reuters) – The anti-secrecy group WikiLeaks began publishing on Monday more than five million emails from a U.S.-based global security analysis company that has been likened to a shadow CIA.

The emails, snatched by hackers, could unmask sensitive sources and throw light on the murky world of intelligence-gathering by the company known as Stratfor, which counts Fortune 500 companies among its subscribers.

Stratfor in a statement shortly after midnight EST (0500 GMT) said the release of its stolen emails was an attempt to silence and intimidate it.

It said it would not be cowed under the leadership of George Friedman, Stratfor’s founder and chief executive officer. It said Friedman had not resigned as CEO, contrary to a bogus email circulating on the Internet.

Some of the emails being published “may be forged or altered to include inaccuracies; some may be authentic,” the company statement said.

“We will not validate either. Nor will we explain the thinking that went into them. Having had our property stolen, we will not be victimized twice by submitting to questioning about them,” the statement said.

WikiLeaks did not say how it had acquired access to the vast haul of internal and external correspondence of the Austin, Texas company, formally known as Strategic Forecasting Inc.

Hackers linked to the loosely organized Anonymous hackers group said at the beginning of the year they had stolen the email correspondence of some 100 of the firm’s employees. The group said it planned to publish the data so the public would know the “truth” about Stratfor operations.

Stratfor describes itself as a subscription-based publisher of geopolitical analysis with an intelligence-based approach to gathering information.

WikiLeaks and Anonymous maintain the emails will expose dark secrets about the company. Stratfor said in its statement it had worked hard to build “good sources” in many countries, “as any publisher of global geopolitical analysis would do.”

In December, hackers broke into Stratfor’s data systems and stole a large number of company emails.

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange told Reuters: “Here we have a private intelligence firm, relying on informants from the U.S. government, foreign intelligence agencies with questionable reputations and journalists.”

“What is of grave concern is that the targets of this scrutiny are, among others, activist organizations fighting for a just cause.”

Friedman, the chief executive, said on Jan. 11 the thieves would be hard pressed to find anything significant in the stolen emails.

“God knows what a hundred employees writing endless emails might say that is embarrassing, stupid or subject to misinterpretation. … As they search our emails for signs of a vast conspiracy, they will be disappointed.”

MEDIA PARTNERS

People linked to Anonymous took credit for the data theft. “Congrats on the amazing partnership between #Anonymous and #WikiLeaks to make all 5 million mails public,” AnonSec Tweeted. AnonSec is one of several Twitter accounts used to promote and organize activities associated with Anonymous.

It was not immediately clear what impact the release of the emails might have on Stratfor, its employees, clients and information sources.

Previous releases from WikiLeaks, such as secret video battle footage and thousands of U.S. diplomatic cables about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, in 2010 have angered the U.S. government. WikiLeaks’ disclosures also have raised questions about the safety of confidential sources quoted in previously secret documents.

WikiLeaks said it was working with two dozen media organizations worldwide that have access to a database of the Stratfor emails. These include the U.S. newspaper publisher McClatchy Co..

“We have begun reviewing the emails and will publish as warranted,” McClatchy’s Washington bureau chief, James Asher, told Reuters.

WikiLeaks said its other media partners include L’Espresso and La Repubblica newspapers in Italy, the NDR/ARD state broadcaster in Germany and Russia Reporter.

The group gave a sneak preview of the emails to The Yes Men, an activist group that targets what it views as corporate greed.

The Stratfor emails discuss an elaborate hoax the group staged to criticize Dow Chemical Co’s handling of the Bhopal chemical disaster in India, according to Andy Bichlbaum, one of The Yes Men.

“What is significant is the picture it helps to paint of the way corporations operate,” Bichlbaum told Reuters. “They operate with complete disregard for rule of law and human decency.”

After Stratfor’s computers were hacked at least twice last December, the credit card details of more than 30,000 subscribers to Stratfor publications were posted on the Internet, including those of former U.S. secretary of state Henry Kissinger and former U.S. vice president Dan Quayle.

The FBI began investigating the matter in December.

Australian-born Assange, 40, is currently under house arrest in Britain and fighting extradition to Sweden for questioning over alleged sex crimes.
