The Beacon group primarily consults for defense contractors, to help them secure international weapons contracts. As reported by Defense News:
"Together they have quietly set up a consulting group built on providing advice to companies, primarily defense contractors, focused on international defense business as well as cyber, although their first client was Bash's former boss, Panetta.
"And since the group has no plans to do any lobbying, that help will be concentrated in strategic thinking, such as how to handle a complicated weapons sales picture in the Middle East, Shapiro said (http://www.defensenews.com/article/20130903/DEFREG02/309030006/Clinton-Allies-Join-Bush-Alum-Form-New-Consulting-Group).
Yes, strategic thinking about how to fool the American people, loot the treasury of tax monies and feed the permanent war machine.
The principals in Beacon Global Strategies are Hillary Clinton and George W. Bush alums. Again, according to Defense News:
"Clinton's longtime spokesman Philippe Reines and one-time national security adviser turned Assistant Secretary of State Andrew Shapiro are teaming with Jeremy Bash and Michael Allen to launch the group. Bash spent years as chief of staff at both the CIA and Pentagon for former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, a close Clinton ally. Allen, the lone Republican in the group, has a longstanding relationship with Bash. The two worked together in a variety of roles while Allen was a White House staffer for President George W. Bush and as staff director of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.

The most recent addition to the group is none other than former acting director of the CIA, Mike Morell (http://www.dailycensored.com/corporate-cbs-news-the-cia/).
As Fox News reported:
"Morell, who also is a national security analyst for CBS News and has a book deal, joined the Beacon firm after retiring from the CIA last year. In doing so, he joined an organization already stacked with ex-government officials."

Questions have been raised as to whether Morell is also positioning himself to be part of a future Hillary Clinton administration. It was reported:
"Some speculate Morell may have higher political ambitions considering his employment at Beacon Global Strategies, a government relations firm founded by close Hillary Clinton confidante Philippe I. Reines. "
