The Brussels Forum 2009 was held March 20-22, 2009, 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][4] 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.
