Recently,
President Barack Obama named Chuck Hagel, a left-leaning Republican,
as co-chair of his Intelligence Advisory Board. Although a leader in
the GOP, Hagel developed a close relationship with Obama during his
presidential campaign. Reportedly both men are Internationalists with
some observers claiming they are more concerned with foreign nations
than their own country and its people.
Chuck Hagel is a member of various Globalist organizations, such as
the Council on Foreign Relations (CFP), according to Washington sources.
The CFR has worked to create and preserve a system of worldwide economic,
political, and military dependencies/protectorates. This system initially
was used to "contain" the Eurasian and Latin American left,
but has evolved into a welfare system for United States-based multinational
corporations.
Hagel
once wrote, "The UN is more relevant today than it has ever
been" and "U.S. interests are not mutually exclusive from
the interests of its friends and allies."
In addition, "the United States and the European Union can benefit
by teaming up to address the global issues of the coming era" and
the "United States can continue to set an example, not arrogantly,
but cooperatively, through strong leadership and partnership."
Meanwhile officials unveiled a United Kingdom government security plan examined by reporters from the London-based Daily Telegraph, several countries -- U.S., U.K., France, Germany, etc. -- would submit classified information into a central intelligence unit so that any member nation will have access to it.
But the proposals risk hard won intelligence gathered by U.S. agents being leaked by less scrupulous security services, particularly in the former Communist states of Eastern Europe, according to security experts Bruno Waterfield and Duncan Gardham.
Although
the Government has contributed to the proposals being drawn up as part
of unifying European countries and their resources, Britain's security
services -- MI5, its internal agency, and MI6, its foreign intelligence
agency -- will likely put up stiff opposition to these plans, claim
Waterfield and Gardham.
"This is serious business even for the United States," said
former US Marine intelligence officer and NYPD detective Sid Frances.
"The United States shares top secret intelligence with the British
intelligence and law enforcement agencies. That means that very soon,
U.S. secrets will be distributed to nations that should not have access
to our military and law enforcement secrets," claims the decorated
Marine and cop.
"What
worries me is that the people who these Internationalists will spy
on, just may be you and me," he added.
Historically British intelligence officers have enjoyed a good relationship with their U.S. counterparts, regularly exchanging information particularly in the fight against terrorism.
However,
there has been a degree of mistrust between the British authorities
and European security agencies. In the 1990s the French intelligence
service was blamed for leaking information shared by MI6 to the Serbian
military,
"We have well-worked principles about how we share information
using bilateral relationships built up over many years," said Waterfield
and Gardham.
"We share information whenever we need to do so and while the idea of dumping everything in a big pool may have a superficial attraction, we would want to know that everyone was contributing equally and the information shared was properly protected."

The intelligence-sharing plan from the European Union Future Group is expected to form the basis of legislation next year and calls on countries to abandon the "principle of confidentiality" which has governed the sharing of intelligence for decades.
The proposals stop short of calling for a European spy agency but say there is a need for "increased synergies between police and security intelligence services."
It
suggests a network of "antiterrorist centers" in each country
coordinated by SitCen, the European Union's intelligence assessment
center in Brussels.
"While the U.S. won't directly be involved in consolidating intelligence,
any secrets we share with Britain, France, Germany or other countries
will be open to espionage by enemy nations or terrorist groups,"
warns Det. Frances.
"Once we submit classified information to foreign entities, we
no longer have control over what groups have access to our secrets,"
he added.
Other proposals suggest standardizing police surveillance techniques
and extending the sharing of DNA and fingerprint databases to include
CCTV video footage and material gathered by "spy
drones."
The plans are based on the idea that the EU can do better than national governments with the report adding: "It appears that this sector cannot be managed politically by individual member states."
It is also suggests that the European Gendarmerie Force (EGF), which currently only involves France, Italy, Spain, Portugal and the Netherlands, should become an EU body.
The latest proposal will step up pressure on the UK to allow the deployment of armed foreign police officers intp Britain during a "crisis" situations, including public order disturbances at international summits.
Other proposals include the formation of a paramilitary police force which can be deployed by a Brussels "mission command" in international hotspots outside the EU's borders.
The confidential 53-page document, called European Home Affairs in an Open World, sets out plans for an EU program of security measures from 2010 to 2014.It has been drafted by a top-level group consisting of justice ministers from Germany, Portugal, Slovenia, France, the Czech Republic and Sweden as well as the European Commission.
The plans have alarmed conservatives and civil libertarians as both an erosion of national sovereignty and a threat to freedom.
Dominic Grieve, the Shadow Home Secretary, told the British press, "This report reveals the enormous scope of Brussels' ambitions for EU control over vital areas of national security policy. While practical cooperation between EU partners is important -- the Government must resolutely resist any attempt to fetter British control over this important policy area."

Government sources said they were still considering the proposals but were keen to see greater cooperation in gathering intelligence at European borders. A Home Office spokesman said: "The UK has followed the workings of the Future Group and has [cooperated when] possible.The report contains some useful ideas regarding how EU countries can cooperate on global issues such as combating terrorism."
