This guy, is never being mentioned in German media. I'm wondering since he's the one being responsible for the plans of the German military.
Why would he be so silent?
Dr. Ulrich Stefan Schlie, Director General for Security and Defence Policy, Federal Ministry of Defence
He has been a participant in the Munich security conference (MSC)
There is a HUUUUGE article talking about him, the Ministry of Defence secretary Ursula von der Leyen and Kissinger initiating a new studying course called Governance and international diplomacy in Bonn. Bonn was the former headquarter of the BND (German's CIA). They still have a huge facility there, but the headquarters have moved to Berlin in the meantime.
Udo Ulfkotte, the German guy exposing him and his colleagues of German journalists from several newspapers to be in contract with CIA.
He stated that the CIA did this by either unanimously making the contract or pushing the journalists. For example by sending prostitutes and recording it with a bug in a CIA-sponsored hotel room.
Ulfkotte said they hired journalists by sending them to a former military facility, which looks from the outside like a regular house in the city centre of Bonn, and pushing them into the whole topic.
So Bonn is still a very important city today for the BND.
Ulrich Schlie is also part of the International Institute for Strategic Studies.
He was also a fellow on the Tufts Fletcher school. I found an interesting point on the school's website: http://fletcher.tufts.edu/Murrow-Center/Events
CBS ex-head David Rhodes (YES he is the brother of Ben Rhodes) no-no definitely no conflict of interest here.
Quote from Wikipedia:
"David Rhodes is chairman of the Advisory Board of The Edward R. Murrow Center for a Digital World at the Fletcher School at Tufts University. He also serves on the Rice University Board of Trustees and the advisory board for Rice University’s Doerr Institute for New Leaders."
Now let's take a look at his wife. Emma Kahn, they married back in 2005.

This is where I ended up with, they are all related somehow. It's crazy… digging further but just published first part of findings.
