The Brussels Forum 2010 was held March 25-27, 2010, arranged by the CIA/NATO-close German Marshall Fund of the United States[1][2]. It gathered over 400 politicians, spooks, journalists and think-tankers.[3] The event itself, held under Chatham House rules, received as good as no coverage in corporate media. But the agenda topics did, the gathering giving a signal to the participants on how to speak, write and act on these transatlantic subjects.

Themes
Anders Fogh Rasmussen, Secretary General of NATO, was lobbying for expensive new weapons systems:
A true joint Euro Atlantic missile defense would demonstrate our collective will, not only to defend ourselves against the new threats of today and tomorrow, but also to shoulder the responsibility...And it would be an opportunity for Europe to demonstrate, again, to the United States that the allies are ready and willing to invest in the capabilities we need to defend ourselves....But I believe there is yet another reason for developing missile defense. And that is to create a new dynamic in European and Euro Atlantic security....But we also need a decision from Russia, a decision to view missile defense as an opportunity rather than a threat.[6]
President of the European Commission José Manuel Barroso wanted to "share" as much information as possible with the United States:
“In the modern world internal and external security are indivisible. So a vital aspect of improving security cooperation counterterrorism is a sharing of information. We have been working hard in the U.S. to develop effective procedures to that end and we are fully committed to this. But it is essential to take into account the particular concerns of Europe on fundamental rights and privacy that is lesson of the recent vote by the European Parliament on the so-called SWIFT agreement.”
José Manuel Barroso (March 2010) [7]
The spooky Craig Kennedy remembered an obscure period in Barroso's CV:
“Some of us think of José Manuel Barroso as a former scholar at Georgetown University in Washington.”
Craig Kennedy, German Marshall Fund (March 2010) [7]
