Mossad-linked “Black Cube” hired to discredit Obama and Iran deal – report

Share:

Black-Cube-logoSource confirms to NBC that Mossad-linked  ‘Black Cube’ firm was involved in a covert operation targeting Obama administration . This raises grave questions about how and why a foreign entity was engaged to attempt to secretly influence the foreign policy of the United States.There was “little chance” the Israeli government was unaware of Black Cube’s efforts, according to this  report by Times of Israel.

By TAMAR PILEGGI

“The insinuation is that ‘we’re so powerful, we have these links, and we can call on them,’” said the source, who asked not to be identified out of fear of reprisal from Black Cube. “They want that veneer of ‘we’re still the state, but we’re not really the state.’”

The source added that there was “little chance” the Israeli government was unaware of Black Cube’s efforts.

The report confirmed that Black Cube began gathering information on Ben Rhodes, Colin Kahl and other officials days after US President Donald Trump’s visit to Israel last May. The source said the undercover campaign was initiated “for Trump,” but there was no evidence directly linking his administration to the agency.

“You’ll never find their name on a contract,” he said. “I can’t prove that it was the administration other than what I was told.”

But the source hinted that Trump’s hostility toward Barack Obama could have motivated the operation.

“Why spend time and money to make the whole the deal look rotten, unless you’re obsessed with destroying Obama’s legacy?”

The Trump administration’s alleged efforts to discredit Obama’s hard-fought nuclear deal with Iran were first reported by Britain’s Observer and the New Yorker earlier this month.

In a statement to NBC, Black Cube denied the reports, saying it has “no relation whatsoever to the Trump administration, to Trump aides, to anyone close to the administration, or to the Iran nuclear deal.”

The company slammed media outlets and said “suggesting Black Cube is targeting US officials is misleading their readers and viewers.”

But sources familiar with Black Cube’s work have told the news outlets the firm was hired to uncover evidence of unflattering behavior, such as financial or sexual impropriety, by the Iran deal’s architects, including Obama administration aides Kahl and Rhodes.

The reports said the operation was part of wider efforts to justify Trump’s decision earlier this month to withdraw the US from the deal.

Khal told NBC that during the period that Black Cube was allegedly hired to investigate him, his wife Rebecca was contacted by a private British equity firm that wanted to discuss her fundraising efforts at their daughter’s school.

He said he and his wife became suspicious of the exchange, and she ended the correspondence.

NBC obtained a copy of Black Cube’s file on Khal’s wife, which included personal information about the Khals and their relatives.

“It’s creepy to know that someone was trying to dig up your profile and the names of your in-laws and your kids and your wife and where you live,” Khal said of the file. “That’s pretty sleazy.”

According to the report, a Black Cube operative also sought to befriend Rhodes’s wife, Ann, during the same period, under the guise of offering her a job as a political consultant on a TV show.

The White House has not responded to the reports on Black Cube, but top Democrats on the House Oversight and Foreign Affairs committees this week requested the agency share any information it has on the alleged campaign to undermine the Obama administration.

A letter sent Thursday by representatives Elijah Cummings and Eliot Engel said that if the reports are accurate, they “raise grave questions about how and why a foreign entity was engaged to attempt to secretly influence the foreign policy of the United States.”

The letter was mostly symbolic: As the minority, Democrats do not have subpoena powers, and even with such powers, congressional authority over a foreign entity would be limited.

Separately, Black Cube was also reported to have tracked alleged victims of movie mogul Harvey Weinstein, who was arrested Friday on rape charges.

Last November, the New Yorker reported that Weinstein hired Black Cube for $1.3 million to suppress allegations he sexually assaulted and harassed dozens of women.

The report said an Israeli woman named Stella Penn Pechanac befriended Rose McGowan, an American actress who accuses Weinstein of raping her, claiming to be a women’s rights advocate — and secretly recorded their conversations.

Days later, a Black Cube board member apologized for working with Weinstein, saying the firm would not have assisted the disgraced producer if it had known it was helping suppress sexual assault allegations against him.

“If we had known this from the beginning, God forbid we wouldn’t have taken the job,” Asher Tishler told Hadashot news in November. “I apologize for taking the job. When we took the job we had no idea this was going on.”

    A select group of veterans from the Israeli elite intelligence units that specialises in tailored solutions to complex business and litigation challenges, are naturally veterans from the Israeli elite intelligence Mossad.

    Who else can make tailor-made solutions based on high-quality intelligence, cutting-edge technology, unique expertise and out-of-the-box thinking?
    Obviously the veterans from the Israeli elite intelligence Mossad, after all they are “almost privatized wing of Mossad.” according to Tamar Pileggi that work as a breaking news editor at The Times of Israel.

          Israel is most definitely high tech, nobody can argue this. I think you using that image is either deliberate on your part or just lack of understanding of reality. It is disingenuous to attempt to impress on people that on an even playing field Israel has been advancing itself and its people while the Palestinians have focused all their energy and resources on terror. I am capable of learning and being honest in my discussion with people and admitting when I’m wrong or simply don’t know, are you?

          1. Israel is not Angel, also with ugly things, corruption etc. But in what quantity, what is mainstream? Good construction prevailed, picture is general, smart, exact, good even not full. My colleague in one project is from Gaza, very respectful by me good man. So what, sorry he is not mainstream, general picture. Violence, terror is mainstream in Gaza

            disingenuous? something else? please explain better

          2. Was this image hurt Your religious feelings? Sorry)

          4. Please be careful to find this real (picture?) situation even more dramatic for You. Because no matter where man stand, matter where he is go. “Propaganda” LOL. You just allowing to Yourself Your Own “propaganda” or agenda and can not tolerate different reality

          YaLibnan new Zionist owners omitted May 25 2000 Liberation Day.

          “2011”Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri’s first official visit to t’he United States coincided with the day his country celebrated—also for the first official time—“Resistance and Liberation Day.10-year anniversary of Israel’s 2000 withdrawal from the country on May 25, ending a brutal 22-year occupation.
          Was it a “strategic withdrawal” as Israel’s apologists often contend, or a “retreat” as Hezbollah supporters prefer to maintain?
          Colonel Noam Ben-Tzvi (ret.), the last commander of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) western sector in south Lebanon, characterized their exit quite differently:
          “It wasn’t a withdrawal and it wasn’t a retreat. We ran away, pure and simple.” (Haaretz, May 21).”

          F.Y.I Years ago Israel bombed the shit out of the sole Gaza power plant.
          Israel doesn’t allow any other country to help Palestinians solve the electricity crisis.
          Israel controls fuel supply to Gaza power plant.

  5. Clicked on this in the hope to get some in-depth analysis from YaLibnan’s in-house Mossad expert, Prof. Dumbyad. Sadly, today – as most of other days – she’s her “pictures of ugly Jooz” mode. 🙂

      Prof. Dumbyad isn’t just an expert on Mossad.

      Today or other days, you’ll see her “pictures of ugly Jooz” but she prefers the anti Zionist Jews quotation in her comments.
      After all it was THE Rabbi that said it or Tony Greenstein said.
      Anyway her Twitter account is still https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d33f699667b320f7a431aadf6d79e87a3609ca73a2d783defea450a29cbd2473.jpg out….

      RT.com comes with a question “Was Einstein racist?”
      Einstein travel diaries reveal shocking truth about physicist’s views on Asians.

      He described the Chinese as “industrious, filthy, obtuse” and “a peculiar herd-like nation,” that, according to Einstein, posed threat to other nations. “It would be a pity if these Chinese supplant all other races,” he wrote. “For the likes of us the mere thought is unspeakably dreary.”

      With many people looking up to Einstein as both a moral role model and one of the greatest physicists of all time who introduced the theory of general relativity, the revelations on what Rosenkranz called “a clear hallmark of racism” could now tarnish the popular science icon.
