The Brussels Forum 2011 was held March 25-27, 2011, arranged by the CIA/NATO-close German Marshall Fund of the United States[1][2]. It gathered almost 400 politicians, spooks, journalists and think-tankers. 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.
Agenda
These discussions happened at the same time as NATO was bombing Libya and Islamist armed groups were used as proxies for regime change in Syria; NATO was expanding missile systems closer to Russia; and a regime change was attempted in Belarus. The agenda included:
- Have the Western policies failed North Africa and the Middle East?
- China Rising: Is Strategic Competition Inevitable?
- The Global Trading System at Risk?
- Russian Modernization and the West
- Demographic Shifts and Minority Political Representation
- Saving Western Institutions from Extinction
- The Fossil-Free Future of Energy?
- Pipelines, Politics, and Pipe Dreams
- Keeping the G20 en Vogue
- Japan - The Aftershocks
- Bridging the Trust Deficit with Pakistan
- The European Neighborhood Policy: Ok, Let’s Get Real Here
- Missile Defense in Search of a Home
- Politics in America: Divided Government and the 2012 Election
- Is the Eurozone Crisis Over?
- Belarus’ Nightmare Election and the Western Response
- How can the Arab Spring lead to Democracy?
- Libya: What Now?
- Turkey, “Zero Problems” and the EU
- Bringing the Balkans into Europe
