In May 1997, an intercepted phone call between a Mossad official in the U.S. and his superior in Tel Aviv revealed Mossad’s efforts to steal U.S. classified information.

In 1999, it was alleged that Israel had blackmailed Bill Clinton with some 30 hours of sexually explicit conversations and that Tel Aviv used the tapes to stop the “Mega” investigation.

According to the NSA transcript the Mossad agent said, ‘The ambassador wants me to go to Mega to get a copy of this letter.’ the supervisor in Tel Aviv rejected the request, saying, ‘This is not something we use Mega for.’” web.archive.org/web/2019123003…
Israeli officials often used code names in trans-Atlantic conversations and said: ''Maybe that's not the exact code name. Maybe it's not a person, but a code name for an organization or a method.''

“It’s a story about money, huge amounts of money.”
The Bronfmans were already wealthy tobacco farmers in 1889 when they and their servants moved from Moldova (then the Russian Empire) to Canada. macleans.ca/politics/ottaw…

Through their businesses as alleged horse rustlers and confirmed bootleggers, the Bronfman family became far wealthier. In 1920, the US government passed the prohibition laws against alcohol, opening a huge criminal export market to the US.
By 1922, Bronfman influence in Canadian politics was already established.
In 1922, the Bronfman family’s (alleged) mob tactics and organized crime were also well established.
In 1927, there was a “spectacular trial” of Bronfman criminal acts which collapsed with the help of a little extortion.
In 1928, the Bronfman’s bought the 71-year-old family business of Joseph Seagram to add to their existing operations. They became a powerful force in international crime, particularly in trafficking to the US.
In the US, Bronfman mob associates were members of what the US Senate called the National Crime Syndicate, a confederation dominated by Italian-American and Jewish-American mobs. senate.gov/artandhistory/…
The Reinfeld Syndicate dealt largely with the Bronfman interests which owned the Bronfman Distillery of Canada, carrying on what they described as the "high seas operation."

The Reinfeld syndicate imported 40% of illegal booze in the U.S. and the Bronfman family was their primary source of liquor according to the U.S. senate committee. books.google.com/books?id=ZO8jK…
“Samuel Bronfman's bootlegging customers included the likes of Meyer Lansky, Frank Costello and other notable gangsters of the Roaring Twenties.” theglobeandmail.com/news/national/…
“Why is Lansky a ‘gangster’ and not the Bronfman and Rosenstiel families?” books.google.ca/books?id=ZO8jK…
In 1930, the RCMP launched a bootlegging investigation. In 1934, Sam Bronfman and his three brothers were charged with evading duties on more than $5 million.
The 1934 trial was also thrown out, this time due to missing documents. This chapter ended in a suspicious death “and I still think it had something to do with David burning those papers in his basement.”
Judge Jules Desmarais, who threw the case against Bronfmans out of court, later became chairman of the Quebec Liquor Commission. Provincial Liquor Control Boards in Canada were created as crown corporations with the mandate of controlling distribution and sale of alcohol.
Until very recently, liquor boards maintained complete monopoly on Canadian liquor distribution & retail. They used this power to promote the Bronfman brand, Seagram’s, which subsequently became the largest owner of alcoholic beverage lines in the world until it was sold in 2000.
“By the late 1960s, the family was the biggest landowner in Canada.” theglobeandmail.com/news/national/…
“After that, it was smooth sailing for Bronfmans. They bought mansions in Montreal & moved into the American market when prohibition ended, making Seagrams a global brand in the golden age of cocktails. The family built one of the world’s great fortunes." ”macleans.ca/politics/ottaw…
Here the family history forks. Allan Bronfman’s two sons, Edward and Peter, formed an even more powerful branch and extended the family’s influence into Brazil and across the globe - again.
Peter and Edward Bronfman's holdings “following a messy takeover battle of Brascan, former owner of a Brazilian electrical utility … became a platform for controlling just about anything: breweries and sports teams, forests and mines, real estate brokers and investment banks.”
The centrepiece is Brookfield, “an investment group that defies convention: highly secretive, seemingly obsessed with control and susceptible to family squabbles that have few parallels among its Wall Street peers.”
In 2019, the Financial Times ran a profile on Brookfield ’s byzantine structure as it alluded to a possible Qatari bailout of a Kushner property with the Brookfield group acting as a middle man labyrinth to conceal the transaction (allegedly). ft.com/content/595a77…
In Canada, Bronfmans continued to exert enormous influence over political decision-making. In 1983, Pierre Trudeau appointed to senate Leo Kolber, a key Bronfman executive, godfather to Stephen Bronfman, founder of the Laurier Club, “selling access to Liberal Leader John Turner”
Leo Kolber was appointed to Senate under Pierre Trudeau but effectively lobbied both sides of the aisle for Bronfman interests.
In 2001, A Winnipeg man, George Harris, sued the Canadian government for allowing Bronfmans to transfer $2 billion out of the country and waiving the exit tax worth $700 million. After 5 years and many appeals, he lost. (But buy the man an imported beer.) theglobeandmail.com/news/national/…
In 2017, PM Justin Trudeau pre-empted a Canada Revenue Agency investigation into “chief fundraiser and senior adviser to the Canadian prime minister” Stephen Bronfman’s offshore dealings with a statement that he was “satisfied” of Bronfman’s innocence. cbc.ca/news/politics/…
Paradise Papers “unveil a close relationship between two wealthy families who collaborated to shift millions of dollars... Bronfman family [and] Leo Kolber, a former Canadian senator and powerhouse within the Liberal party.“

In 1988 Mega Group founder Charles Bronfman and alleged KGB-Mossad-MI6 triple agent and Mega Group member Robert Maxwell became top shareholders in the Israeli pharmaceutical company Teva. books.google.cl/books?id=_xklA…
In 1989 Charles Bronfman and Robert Maxwell made a joint bid on the Jerusalem Post newspaper which described them as “two of the world’s leading... financiers” and pushing towards “expanding influence”. jta.org/1989/04/17/arc…
Edgar Bronfman (director of Mega Group) worked with Robert Maxwell in the late 1980s to convince the Soviet Union to allow refugees to immigrate to Israel. nytimes.com/1988/05/18/wor…
In 2018, Edgar Bronfman Sr's daughters, Sara and Clare, were charged with their role as supporters and funders of the international rape and trafficking ring NXIVM. (See thread.) #opDeatheaters
Clare and Sara Bronfman's brother Edgar Bronfman Jr. also appears in human trafficker and child rapist Jeffery Epstein's Little Black Book. (See thread.) #opDeatheaters
Court documents revealed that Clare Bronfman purchased Wakaya Island for the NXIVM rape and trafficking network's use. #opdeatheaters
20% of the NXIVM island was owned by David Gilmour, a long time business partner of Bronfman colleague Peter Munk. theglobeandmail.com/business/artic…
Munk and Gilmore owned "a chain of 54 resorts around the South Pacific and in Australia." The Saudi arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi, the arms trafficker who facilitated the Iran-Contra affair, was an investor of theirs and another colleague they shared with Bronfman.
This Adnan Khashoggi, the human and arms trafficker with a network of extremely influential people, many shared with other trafficking networks such as Epstein's. (See thread.) #opDeathEaters
The Bronfman family is linked to both Munk and Kashoggi through labyrinthian deals involving Barrick Gold (in 2020 the second-largest gold mining company in the world), Trizec Properties, Brookfield Properties and others.
Barrick Gold officers circa 2017: ... this whole mess needs a lot more #opCanary investigation, especially with regards to NAFTA and the presidents and PMs on its payroll: theglobeandmail.com/report-on-busi…
