Leaked documents show that the British government has created a network to influence public discourse and policy makers.
To execute this the Institute for Statecraft has founded the Integrity Initiative.
The plan is to build clusters of well-informed people from the political, military, academic, journalistic and think tank clusters.
According to the documents there are clusters in Germany, France, Great Britain, Greece, Italy, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Norway, Serbia and Spain which should inform the decision-makers about the events.
The members of the German cluster are Klaus Naumann, Wolf-Ruediger Bengs, David T. Killion, Gebhardt von Moltke, Roland Freudenstein, Hubertus Hoffmann, Bertil Wenger, Beate Wedekind, Klaus Wittmann, Florian Schmidt and Norris von Schirach.
Klaus Naumann and Klaus Wittmann are both retired generals of the Bundeswehr (German Armed Forces). Wittmann is also a member of the Aspen Institute Germany in Berlin. The Aspen Institute organizes conferences and meetings for executives on current issues of the economy, politics and culture and is one of the transatlantic think tanks. [4] David T. Killion was US ambassador to UNESCO under Obama. Killion has represented the US on humanitarian issues there. Gebhardt von Moltke is a former diplomat and was Chairman of the Deutsch-Britischen Gesellschaft (German-British Society) from 2003 to 2013. The Deutsch-Britischen Gesellschaft (German-British Society) was founded in 1949 to promote German-British relations in all matters of public and cultural life. [5] Roland Freudenstein is policy advisor at the Wilfried Martens Center for European Studies. The Wilfried Martens Center for European Studies is the official think tank of the conservative party family in the European Parliament. [6] Hubertus Hoffmann, Norris von Schirach and Beate Wedekind are authors for various newspapers in german. [7] And Bertil Wenger is head of the CDU's office for foreign affairs. Wenger is thus a close advisor to German Chancellor Angela Merkel and CDU chairman Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer. [8] As promised the German cluster consists of well connected, experienced and high-class decision-makers and those who influence them.
