No idea to be honest.

To join would cost you and while any consdidered perspective is worthwhile, I detect a distinct pro Washington bias, counter to their stated claim.

Well, to be fair (And play the Devil's Advocate), Stratfor's customers include Militaries and Fortune 500s. It's not like the CNN/BBC/FauxNews prolefeed. If Stratfor provide faulty intelligence, then they would lose money.

Call it a perspective then. I would guess that it stands full square behind US values and distributes the white and black hats accordingly.

I applied for an internship with Stratfor this summer; they didn't end up hiring me, but it was an experience to note - they seem to be pretty much in high demand by customers.
