Hagel is one of the Gnostic Global Elites.
Still pending on anti-Semitic accusations.
A lot of vague waving around of references, none of which are serious.
If Hagel is an anti-Semite then prove it please.
He's a successful businessman who went on to get on some boards. Not much more gnostic or global or elite than Frank Gaffney, who's attacking him here.
Once upon a time, you could believe that politics were Wall Street against Main Street, the CFR against ordinary small town Americans. Nowaday's everybody's in the big money big government power game. It's hard to say that Hagel would be that much more globalist or interventionist than Gaffney.
