The Obama administration through its National Security Council passed hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Ploughshares Fund, an NGO that favors allowing Iran to have nuclear weapons. And the Ploughshares Fund paid J Street over $500,000 to push its agenda last summer. That's what came out over this past weekend.A group the White House recently identified as a key surrogate in selling the Iran nuclear deal gave liberal Jewish lobbying organization J street $576,500 to advocate for the deal....
J-Street, a liberal Jewish political action group, undertook a comprehensive campaign last year to support the nuclear deal, amid lobbying by Jerusalem and other pro-Israel groups to convince Congress to block the landmark pact.
Ahead of a crucial congressional vote to either ratify or block the deal, J Street in July 2015 took out a full page advertisement in The New York Times supporting urging Congress to refrain from sabotaging the Iranian nuclear agreement.
J Street also created TV ads and built a wesbite to stump for the accord.Waiting to hear regrets from Senate Democrats over their votes in favor of letting Iran become a nuclear power.The group said called the New York Times ad was the latest phase of [our] multimillion dollar campaign to ensure that the US Congress does not sabotage the nuclear deal.
The Ploughshares Funds mission is to build a safe, secure world by developing and investing in initiatives to reduce and ultimately eliminate the worlds nuclear stockpiles, one that dovetails with President Barack Obamas arms control efforts. But its behind-the-scenes role advocating for the Iran agreement got more attention this month after a candid profile of Ben Rhodes, one of the presidents top foreign policy aides.
The Arms Control Association got $282,500; the Brookings Institution, $225,000; and the Atlantic Council, $182,500. They received money for Iran-related analysis, briefings and media outreach, and non-Iran nuclear work.Oh yeah, and NPR got $100,000 too. Because government funding isn't enough.Other groups, less directly defined by their independent nuclear expertise, also secured grants.
More than $281,000 went to the National Iranian American Council.
Princeton University got $70,000 to support former Iranian ambassador and nuclear spokesman Seyed Hossein Mousavians analysis, publications and policymaker engagement on the range of elements involved with the negotiated settlement of Irans nuclear program.
The Ploughshares grant to NPR supported national security reporting that emphasizes the themes of US nuclear weapons policy and budgets, Irans nuclear program, international nuclear security topics and US policy toward nuclear security, according to Ploughshares 2015 annual report, recently published online.
J Street didnt deny receiving the funds and said it acted in order to advance the nuclear deal with Iran out of faith that it was an important deal, that it had a great contribution also to the security of Israel.Among those J Street cites as Israeli supporters of the deal is pathological liar Ami Ayalon. The endorsements of the deal have already been proven false.(This) faith is shared by us as well as many sources, both in the American government and in the Israeli security establishment, as well as among the Jewish public in the US, most of whom supported the nuclear deal, the group said in a press release on Sunday.
The nuclear deal with Iran has blocked Irans pathways to a nuclear weapon for the coming years,said J Street, adding we are proud of the activities of the organization to advance the nuclear deal between the world powers and Iran, a deal that we believe is of the utmost importance for the security of the state of Israel.
