Verhofstadt's KafeeKlatch van 30 oktober met de Globalisten wordt steeds fraaier.Nu blijkt dat Christine Ockrent daar de dans leidt. CC is naast 'Franse TV-journaliste' ook lid van de Board van de rechtse think-thank International Crisis Group, naast ons aller Marc Eyskens en andere gereputeerde vredesduiven. If you can't beat them, denkt Verhofstadt, pak ze dan in met een studiedag. En dus schudt hij een gezelschap van kenners en representanten van de Otro Mundistas ("democratische globaliseringsbeweging") uit zijn mouw. Zo onder meer William Clinton (in een vorig leven opperscout tijdens vredeswandelingen boven Joegoslavië en Irak) en ene Noreena Hertz, waarvan niemand onder de Otro Mundistas al ooit gehoord heeft. Maar ze schijnt een Globalisten-Guru te zijn. Vermoedelijk is mw. Hertz vooral aanvaardbaar voor het establishment, zodoende. Mw. Ockrent modereert de debatten. CC is ook geheel aanvaardbaar in de salons van de internationale reactie. Ze is Member of the Board van de International Crisis Group, een rechtse think-thank van Verlichte Geesten zoals Richard Allen, Wesley Clark en Jacques Delors. Ook ons aller Pacifistische Adelborst Mark Eyskens mag bij het ICG-clubje zijn.
