Contact

If you need help using Tor you can contact WikiLeaks for assistance in setting it up using our simple webchat available at: https://wikileaks.org/talk

If you can use Tor, but need to contact WikiLeaks for other reasons use our secured webchat available at http://wlchatc3pjwpli5r.onion

We recommend contacting us over Tor if you can.

Tor

Tor is an encrypted anonymising network that makes it harder to intercept internet communications, or see where communications are coming from or going to.

In order to use the WikiLeaks public submission system as detailed above you can download the Tor Browser Bundle, which is a Firefox-like browser available for Windows, Mac OS X and GNU/Linux and pre-configured to connect using the anonymising system Tor.

Tails

If you are at high risk and you have the capacity to do so, you can also access the submission system through a secure operating system called Tails. Tails is an operating system launched from a USB stick or a DVD that aim to leaves no traces when the computer is shut down after use and automatically routes your internet traffic through Tor. Tails will require you to have either a USB stick or a DVD at least 4GB big and a laptop or desktop computer.

Tips

Our submission system works hard to preserve your anonymity, but we recommend you also take some of your own precautions. Please review these basic guidelines.

1. Contact us if you have specific problems

If you have a very large submission, or a submission with a complex format, or are a high-risk source, please contact us. In our experience it is always possible to find a custom solution for even the most seemingly difficult situations.

2. What computer to use

If the computer you are uploading from could subsequently be audited in an investigation, consider using a computer that is not easily tied to you. Technical users can also use Tails to help ensure you do not leave any records of your submission on the computer.

3. Do not talk about your submission to others

If you have any issues talk to WikiLeaks. We are the global experts in source protection – it is a complex field. Even those who mean well often do not have the experience or expertise to advise properly. This includes other media organisations.

After

1. Do not talk about your submission to others

If you have any issues talk to WikiLeaks. We are the global experts in source protection – it is a complex field. Even those who mean well often do not have the experience or expertise to advise properly. This includes other media organisations.

2. Act normal

If you are a high-risk source, avoid saying anything or doing anything after submitting which might promote suspicion. In particular, you should try to stick to your normal routine and behaviour.

3. Remove traces of your submission

If you are a high-risk source and the computer you prepared your submission on, or uploaded it from, could subsequently be audited in an investigation, we recommend that you format and dispose of the computer hard drive and any other storage media you used.

In particular, hard drives retain data after formatting which may be visible to a digital forensics team and flash media (USB sticks, memory cards and SSD drives) retain data even after a secure erasure. If you used flash media to store sensitive data, it is important to destroy the media.

If you do this and are a high-risk source you should make sure there are no traces of the clean-up, since such traces themselves may draw suspicion.

4. If you face legal action

If a legal action is brought against you as a result of your submission, there are organisations that may help you. The Courage Foundation is an international organisation dedicated to the protection of journalistic sources. You can find more details at https://www.couragefound.org.

WikiLeaks publishes documents of political or historical importance that are censored or otherwise suppressed. We specialise in strategic global publishing and large archives.

The following is the address of our secure site where you can anonymously upload your documents to WikiLeaks editors. You can only access this submissions system through Tor. (See our Tor tab for more information.) We also advise you to read our tips for sources before submitting.

http://ibfckmpsmylhbfovflajicjgldsqpc75k5w454irzwlh7qifgglncbad.onion

If you cannot use Tor, or your submission is very large, or you have specific requirements, WikiLeaks provides several alternative methods. Contact us to discuss how to proceed.

The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They 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 Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

CBP Officers Seize 221,040 Counterfeit Viagra and Cialis Pills - India
(U//FOUO//LES) June 10, 2011: The CBP Air Cargo Team at Newark Liberty International Airport examined several Continental Airlines airway bills, targeted by CBP officers. The shipments were manifested as ladies cloths, peanuts, dry fruits, shawls, calendars, photo frames, spices and purses. An examination of the cargo revealed blue diamond shaped pills that were labeled as Sildenafil Citrate. Sildenafil Citrate is not a controlled substance; however, it is used in making Viagra. The pills were sent to the CBP Laboratory. The sample tablets were visually compared to the referenced Viagra tablets.

The bus bombed by terrorists in Jerusalem on March 23. A British woman was killed in the attack and almost 40 Israeli civilians were wounded (Israeli Government Press Office, March 24, 2011).
Overview
 Terrorist events this past week focused on the IED which exploded at a bus stop in Jerusalem near the International Convention Center. It killed a British subject and wounded 39 Israeli civilians. At this point it is unknown who carried out the attack.  The escalation in rocket and mortar shell fire which began on March 19 has waned (although sporadic rocket fire continues). This past week 13 rocket hits and 18 mortar shell hits were identified in Israeli territory. One of the rockets was a Grad which fell near the southern Israeli city of Ashdod. In response Israeli aircraft attacked a number of terrorist targets in the Gaz

Jerusalem Day,1 marked on August 26 this year, is an annual Iranian-sponsored event in support of the Palestinian cause. The Iranian regime expects extensive participation in events in Iran, the Arab-Muslim world and the West (including the United States and Britain). The events are traditionally exploited for anti-Israeli antiWest incitement.
Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei speaking before the upper echelons of the Iranian regime (including Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, president of Iran, and Hassan Firuzabadi, head of the armed forces) on August 7, on the occasion of Ramadan. He said he expected "a large audience" at Jerusalem Day events as "proof" of the Islamic nation's faith in the Iranian Islamic regime.

Russia Equity Strategy Market Comment
18 October 2011 A volatile market driven by global risk aversion The Russian equity market came under intense pressure in the last two months as a result of rising risk aversion stemming from European debt woes and global growth worries. Conviction is likely to remain low, volatility elevated and rangetrading to prevail. While the outlook is now more balanced, we prefer to wait for more clarity and remain defensive. Russia’s fundamentals remain intact…so far We believe the current situation is more benign than in 2008. Leverage ratios of the stocks that we cover have halved and maturity structures lengthened. The government continues to run a fiscal surplus, monetary policies are more efficient, and liquidity pressure is less acute. In the short term, growth ra

Argentina: the long term is approaching
Party on, Wayne Since 1Q04, public spending has risen by 400%, nominal wages by around 300%, real interest rates have averaged -8% (now at -13%), credit is growing at 45% y/y and key monetary aggregates at 40%. Throughout this period, the ARS/USD (along with key public utility rates) has barely risen. Unsurprisingly, the fiscal and external surpluses, the weak peso and foreign reserve accumulation – key features of the economy in recent years – are basically gone. Despite record high GDP growth and commodity prices, the primary surplus narrowed by more than 4 ppts of GDP during the 8 years of both Kirchner’s administrations. The good news for investors is that this time around financing has largely come from locals via taxes, inflation and assets in public entities, not from issuing market debt. Still dancin

Party on, Wayne Since 1Q04, public spending has risen by 400%, nominal wages by around 300%, real interest rates have averaged -8% (now at -13%), credit is growing at 45% y/y and key monetary aggregates at 40%. Throughout this period, the ARS/USD (along with key public utility rates) has barely risen. Unsurprisingly, the fiscal and external surpluses, the weak peso and foreign reserve accumulation – key features of the economy in recent years – are basically gone. Despite record high GDP growth and commodity prices, the primary surplus narrowed by more than 4 ppts of GDP during the 8 years of both Kirchner’s administrations. The good news for investors is that this time around financing has largely come from locals via taxes, inflation and assets in public entities, not from issuing market debt. Still dancing but the

UBS EM Client Conference Call: Copper for Beginners
So what is it about copper? Among all the "industrial" metals this one is ... well a bit different. Is it a proxy for the global production cycle? A leading indicator of the Chinese economy? A reflection of global liquidity conditions? Driven by stocks? Driven by flows? Or something else entirely? And most important, what is copper telling us right now? Luckily we have in-house experts Julien Garran and Angus Staines from our highly regarded commodity research team to take us through the story from the top-down to detailed calls.
Date: Tuesday, 11 October 2011 Time: 09:00 (New York), 11 Oct 14:00 (London), 11 Oct 21:00 (HK/SG), 11 Oct 22:00 (Tokyo), 11 Oct Hosted by:

How to think about copper
We devoted last week’s entire EM conference call to a specific good: copper. If that raises eyebrows, it probably shouldn’t. With the obvious exceptions of gold and perhaps oil, copper is the one commodity that generates the most questions for us as macroeconomists. Underlying demand is highly tied to both China and the global cycle, and its extraordinarily volatile pricing is very dependent on global liquidity conditions as well. So for a

Control over Libyan oil shifting, but full ramp-up may take time
We had initially assumed that Libyan production would average 250 thousand b/d next year, with a potential increase to 585 thousand b/d by the end of 2012 should the opposition gain control of the western production and export facilities. While we do not change our production forecast until we have more clarity on the situation, the recent events have increased the likelihood that Libyan production could end up closer to 585 thousand b/d, which would push back the timing on the drawdown of OPEC spare capacity by about 3 months.
Practically all crude production and export facilities are now reported in the hands of the opposition forces…
Libyan opposition forces advanced into Tripoli over the weekend, raising the possibility that crude oil production normalizes in coming months. News reports suggest that the opposition force

today - headlines appeared on the wires - and then the piece
disappeared. You can check if its reappeared here:

It's a very interesting piece. Guan makes the following points:

!CUR The next step for the CNY must be (1) more two-way
flexibility AND (2) more open capital account (K/A) at the same time.
(This is in contrast to other views, eg Yu Yongding, who we wrote about
last week), who argue you need to get CNY in a right place before you
open up the K/A, since the later can be very destabilising).

Still waiting for bad news
One year ago we, together with most economists on the street, began to notice that the Turkish economic situation was beginning to look precarious. Domestic demand and credit growth were accelerating to a dizzying pace, local interest rates had fallen to levels that corporates and households had never seen before, the external deficit was both the largest and the most rapidly-expanding in the major EM world – and in the face of all this the central b

How Important Is Japan to the Chinese Economy?
Japan is an important trading partner and source of direct investment for China: A massive earthquake of 8.9 magnitude hit Japan on Friday, March 11. The earthquake and the subsequent tsunami have caused severe damage. Our thoughts go out to those affected by this devastating disaster. It is impossible to estimate the actual loss to the Japanese economy at the current juncture, but we present some facts that help shed light on how exposed the Chinese economy is to Japan. • In terms of trade by destinations / origins: In 2010, Japan remained one of China’s most important trade partners, accounting for about 8% of China’s total exports,
