What did Jared Kushner do to get $2 billion in Saudi money?

There is a story of great importance that is just now percolating after months of dormancy, despite the shocking revelations around the Saudi Arabian government’s decision to invest $2,000,000,000 into Jared Kushner’s investment fund, revealed by The New York Times in April 2022.

The corruption of the Trump family is staggering and unprecedented.

‘Unprecedented’ is a frequently used word in the Trump era because there are no examples of any behaviors preceding Trump’s conduct that are comparable. He shattered every convention and tradition that requires dignity and integrity, while obliterating the law, duty, responsibility and obligation. Donald Trump was given the greatest honor that could be bestowed in this country, and lacked the emotional cognizance to understand the awesome burdens of his duty. He perversely believed his temporary power was a license to take, steal, smash, punish, destroy and avenge. The result was a catastrophe that weakened America and emboldened global adversaries and domestic extremists.

Along the way, hundreds of thousands of Americans were killed unnecessarily by COVID because of the incompetence, indifference and political gamesmanship of Donald Trump and Jared Kushner. The decision to forgo a national response strategy in the early days of COVID was casually made in the White House by Jared Kushner, who believed that “blue state governors would be blamed, and that would be an effective political strategy,” and therefore Trump would be exculpated from his idiocy and erratic response.

Jared Kushner has been an abhorrent contributor to American decline, decay division and extremism over the last eight years. He is a sinister and corrupt figure who perfectly represents the fantastical levels of corruption that engulfed Washington, DC, during the Trump years. It has since metastasized into a cesspool of dirty transactions where foreign influence, corporate power and media incitements have created a thick blanket of distrust, faithlessness, anger, cynicism and apathy among the American people. The only person in American history who has exceeded Jared Kushner’s corruption is Donald Trump, and the only person who could be considered a worthy peer atop his ignominious perch is his wife Ivanka Trump. She was as exceedingly unqualified for a position of public responsibility as Kushner, while also being his equal in vapidity, grift, arrogance, entitlement, delusion and contrived plasticity.

Jared Kushner is the son of a felon who entrapped his brother-in-law with a prostitute over a business dispute. Chris Christie locked him up as the US Attorney, and ignited a life-long blood feud between himself and Jared Kushner. Kushner is a soft-handed and fragile-boned child of privilege, whose only skill seems to have been the flattery of sociopathic egos — whether that of Rupert Murdoch or his father-in-law.

His family’s wealth obscured his mediocrity and sent the young New Jersey princeling to Harvard University, and then into the jungles of Manhattan, where he continued to prove that any child of an indulgent billionaire parent can make it there too. After a failed real estate investment in 666 Fifth Avenue and other disastrous business decisions, he wafted into the Oval Office with his father-in-law. They did more damage to the United States than any people since secession. Their hideous reign was a disaster for America where they added $6.7 trillion to the debt between fiscal year 2017 and fiscal year 2020, while making $2.4 billion in income during that same period. Additionally, the campaign apparatus and MAGA Super PACs were fantastical grifts, where hundreds of millions of dollars flowed through Kushner-controlled committees and bank accounts. There has never been anything like it in American history.

Foreign governments, lobbyists, politicians and industry titans flooded the Washington, DC, Trump Hotel. Everything was for sale and the overwhelming majority of media coverage labeled it as business as usual before very long. The American people were cut out of the equation as government “of the people, by the people, for the people” became government for the Trump family and their MAGA movement. The stealing was only exceeded by the lying, which was only exceeded by the extremism.

Jared Kushner was not fit to receive a security clearance. It was denied. He failed the background investigations. The security officials made a recommendation that he could not be trusted with classified information. He was deemed untrustworthy. Donald Trump bestowed one of the highest level security clearances on his son-in- law as if he were outfitting Melania with a new prenup.

Jared Kushner loved classified briefings. He requested them more often than almost White House staff. During these delusional years, Kushner flew around the world proclaiming himself to be an architect of Middle East peace. Simultaneously, he mismanaged COVID and leaked to preferred access journalists all of the details of his heroic intentions and the mutual beneficence and sacrifice involved in his and Ivanka’s ludicrous service.

Both Jared and Ivanka were mediocrities who were unread, inexperienced, sheltered, arrogant beyond measure, and surprisingly simple fraudsters who didn’t know very much about anything except where to look for the money.

MBS is 37 years old and the de facto ruler of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as Crown Prince. As of November 2022, his regime had executed 138 people, up 69 per cent from the year before, while being responsible for the imprisonment of a US citizen for 16 years for tweeting. Further, he is the architect of Saudi Arabia’s war in Yemen, which has instigated child famine, suffering and death in a war of aggression. He lured a Washington Post columnist and US resident into a Saudi embassy, where he was murdered and dismembered. The Saudi regime is duplicitous, untrustworthy, violent, extreme and as ever, oil-rich.

MBS will be a powerful force for global instability in the decades ahead and should never be regarded as a friend of the United States, though he is the paymaster of an appalling number of American whores, ( liv golfers,) lobbyists, PR firms, movie studios, and anyone who can help whitewash the bloody Saudi image into something benign, modern and safe. Washington, DC, is awash in Saudi money and every penny of it should be rooted out and disclosed. Every Saudi influencer, lobbyist and lawyer who hides behind a cloak of respectability, while serving a repressive medieval society should be reported on at length. The American people deserve to know who each despicable player is in the billion-dollar Saudi PR game.

Yet, no matter what anyone has done — or will do — to serve Saudi Arabian interests over American ideas and ideals none will be paid $2 billion. Why?

Perhaps it is because there is only one person in America who held America’s greatest secrets — and was willing to sell them.

Aldrich Ames is a former CIA agent who took $4.6 million from the Soviet Union. His treachery and treason was a national security disaster for the United States, but the full extent of the damage and compromise became fully known. Ames will spend the rest of his days locked up in solitary confinement for 23 hours per day at the Administrative Super Max penitentiary in Florence, Colorado. It raises the question: is Ames unlucky, or is it that Kushner is exceptionally lucky?

The United States Congress is a thoroughly broken institution, yet the January 6 Committee demonstrated what is possible when honorable men and women come together, and put America ahead of political parties and cults of personality. Most congressional hearings are performative and useless, but not every one is. The Kushner affair deserves scrutiny. It should be scrutinized by Congress, prosecutors, counter intelligence officials, and the media until every detail is known.

Extremist movements are always corrupt. Corrupt movements always become extremist movements. The NRA and CPAC are perfect examples of this phenomenon.

What did Jared Kushner do to get $2 billion in Saudi money? I want to know. Do you?
