The Improbable Comeback of Erik Prince

His offerings range from the traditional mercenary toolkit, military hardware and manpower, to cellphone surveillance technology and malware, to psychological operations and social media manipulation in partnership with shadowy operations like James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas.

Several years earlier, Prince had been offered a financial stake in what was then a fledgling company called Black Cube, run by former Mossad officers. The company gained notoriety during the #MeToo movement when a firm representing Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein hired Black Cube to help stop publication of an account of his abuses. Black Cube hired an operative who used false identities to approach actress Rose McGowan, as well as a reporter looking into the multitude of sexual misconduct and assault allegations against Weinstein.

"Project Veritas actually met with law enforcement at least twice in advance of the inauguration and provided video footage to the FBI and MPD, pointing to a working relationship or collaboration with the far-right group. Instead of being transparent about the source of the video footage, police and prosecutors hid that relationship and then lied about it to the grand jury, DC Superior Court, and defense counsel, in a legal case brought against people protesting Trump’s first inauguration.

"The US Attorney’s Office (USAO) in Washington, DC, used the Project Veritas footage as key evidence to indict and prosecute more than 200 activists for numerous felonies including conspiracy to riot and property destruction, all of which could have resulted in decades behind bars. For its part, the USAO kept the existence of the FBI 302 document and the January 13 meeting with Project Veritas secret for more than 16 months, long after the first trial had concluded."

And here’s Erik Prince, brother of the secretary of education, a shadow adviser to the White House, who now finds his efforts to help Project Veritas are going towards targeting the paper that exposed Erik Prince’s secret meetings in the #Seychelles, for instance, and a potential back channel between the incoming Trump administration and the #Putin government at the time."

“Though I had high hopes when I joined the organizations, I stepped into an unsalvageable mess — one wrought with strong evidence of past illegality and past financial improprieties,” Giles wrote in a post on X. “Once such evidence was discovered, I brought the information to the appropriate law enforcement agencies.”
