In 2022, I wrote about Global Risk Advisors, a spook connected firm that Qatar was using to spy on Republican House and Senate members opposed to the Muslim brotherhood.
Global Risk Advisors created “Project ENDGAME” and “boasted in internal records that it had ‘developed an approach to a close contact of the congressman’ who sponsored legislation that year to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization.”
“’Developed an approach’” is intelligence jargon for seeking to recruit a potential asset.”
At least one previous GRA effort had allegedly involved a Facebook “honey pot” operation.
While GRA appears to have done a lot of work for Qatar, the AP revealed that “its affiliates have won small contracts with the FBI for a rope-training course and tech consulting work for the Democratic National Committee.”
There’s more material now that sheds new light on the GRA/Qatari agenda.
The clandestine document, titled “Project ENDGAME” and drafted by U.S. company Global Risk Advisors (GRA), which was founded by the ex-CIA employee Kevin Chalker, reads, “High Alert: An attack on Hamas is an attack on Qatar. An attack on the Muslim Brotherhood is an attack on Qatar.”
The March 2017 Qatari-funded plan of action to torpedo anti-Hamas and anti-Muslim Brotherhood legislation and policies noted that “Sen. Ted Cruz has reintroduced his bill to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist group. Unless you act soon, your enemies will inject Qatar into this fight.”
The “Project ENDGAME” proposal says, “Qatar’s Enemies Must Be Identified” and, “In the U.S., your enemies operate in the shadows. You can’t stop the enemies that you can’t find.”
A former employee of GRA who obtained the “Project ENDGAME” document from the company’s office in Doha told Fox News Digital that Qatar’s ruling Al-Thani family, via GRA, aimed to also discredit Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Arkansas.
Rep. Jack Bergman, R-Mich., who has broad expertise regarding Qatar’s power politics, told Fox News Digital, “As a member of Congress, I will continue to use my office to hold Qatar accountable. Qatar must be exposed and their years-long hacking campaign to silence critics not just of Qatar but also critics of the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas cannot go unchecked.”
Bergman, a retired United States Marine Corps lieutenant general, added, “If the Qataris are willing to use their state espionage capabilities to protect terrorist groups by targeting senators and the [former] chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Ed Royce, then how can we be confident in the security of our servicemen and women—and our secrets—at CENTCOM’s forward headquarters in Doha?”
We can’t. Qatar is an Islamic terrorist state whose operatives have targeted members of the United States government.
The silence and inaction in the face of this remains as outrageous as it did two years ago when this was first revealed.
We know previously that Qatar hacked the emails of its political opponents in America, including an RNC figure, Elliot Broidy, and then “leaked” them to top media outlets. But targeting House and Senate members remains a major escalation.
The failure to act against Qatar raises questions about just how its connections in the intelligence and law enforcement community go.
