Aside from the shocking substance of this story, what's amazing is how it was unearthed by Cole. The short version: The Russians were able to penetrate Jared Kushner's iPhone and extract screenshots and data. Then, a Russian intel official was captured by Dutch intelligence (!) and flipped. The Dutch believed Kushner may have been acting on behalf of Russia, so pursued him as an intel target and were able to get into his phone.

They did not find any evidence of Russian collusion, instead they watched him moving hundreds of millions of dollars from slush funds created by Saudi Arabia and the UAE, one of them housed in Israel's central bank.

Incredible reporting, and if Democrats have any sense, they will pull on these threads and learn a lot more about this money.

💢 Israeli forces have mostly leveled 48 of the roughly 60 villages and towns in occupied southern Lebanon, according to a New York Times analysis. Most of the destruction came after the April ceasefire.

The Times found the razing was largely carried out through controlled demolitions. Nearly all the destroyed villages were majority Shia, while Christian, Druze and Sunni villages were largely spared. About 270,000 people remain barred from returning home.

There is no doubt Hassan deserves to die. His crimes were demonic and unforgivable—death by firing squad is borderline too merciful. But broadcasting his execution is beneath the dignity & decency of our nation.

Americans will use violence if and when justified, but we do not rejoice in it. Kill him swiftly & silently.

Streaming his execution is not just a stain on our morality—it also gives the terrorists free propaganda that they will use to radicalize & recruit more terrorists like Hassan.

Gaza before October 7:

1- Up to an 80% unemployment rate
2- Over 80% total reliance on aid
3- Almost a million people lived across 8 refugee camps
4- At least 40,000 people resided in dilapidated shelters
5- 5360 Palestinians killed and 115,000 wounded from Jan 2008 to Sep 2023.
6- 30% of applications for permits by critical patients in Gaza were turned down by Israel every month leading to dozens, sometimes hundreds, of deaths.
7- Upwards of two-thirds of a yearly 1000 recorded successful applicants for international universities from Gaza were denied travel.

The top advocate for Israel in Washington is now publicly arguing that Israel needs to integrate its military with ours so that it will be costly for the U.S. to extract itself from the relationship later, that doing so “would also carry a significant cost for Washington.”

The Senate is debating this proposal now. We can’t really say later that we weren’t warned.

Double-tap strike on a child trying to rescue a rescue worker. During a “cease fire.”

This comes as Israeli media and politicians are calling a documentary about this sort of attack a “blood libel.”

🚨🇺🇸 INSANE: The U.S. dollar has lost 97%(!!) of its purchasing power since 1913...

That's the year the Federal Reserve was created.

The Federal Reserve Act was meant to establish a system to stop financial panics and stabilize the economy...

But here's the reality: a $3 item in 1913 costs $100 today.

If a private company did this, it'd be called the biggest Ponzi scheme in human history...

🇵🇸 More than 70 children are among 100 Palestinians being laid to rest in Gaza today after their bodies were recovered from beneath their homes’ rubble, Dr. Muneer al-Bursh, director general of Gaza’s Health Ministry writes on X. Families waited two years, some longer, to bury them.

More than 8,000 people remain missing under the rubble, he says. Israel continues blocking heavy machinery needed to recover bodies, according to civil defense teams. Al-Bursh called for Israel to stop blocking rescue equipment, forensic supplies, and DNA testing to identify the dead.

He also accused Israel of mixing human remains with rubble, warning that this risks destroying evidence. In the southern city of Rafah, he said, bones have become mingled with debris. He urged action before Israel could conceal evidence of its crimes.

“Every set of remains bears a name, and every name a family that waits.”

The ruins of the once vibrant town of Aitaroun.

I’ve spent a lot of time in Aitaroun over the last two years. The warmth of the people who live there is unparalleled. Seeing this footage is absolutely devastating. The original video is almost five minutes long; the drive through the whole town. It has been erased. This is the Israeli policy of scorched earth.

Israel has been systematically destroying towns and villages in Lebanon. This is an act of genocide.

Genocide is defined under Article Il of the 1948 UN Genocide Convention as any act committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial, or religious group. One of the five acts is “deliberately imposing destructive life conditions.”

More than 65 towns and villages in Lebanon are still under Israeli occupation and are undergoing daily illegal civilian home and infrastructure demolitions.

Israel has flattened the centuries-old village of Yohmor in South Lebanon.

Nothing remains.

Every civilian home has been razed.

Every. Single. One.

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

From the start, those craving war with Iran have arbitrarily invented numbers for how many "peaceful protesters" Iran killed.

Sometimes it's 30,000. Other times 45k. On Tuesdays: 76k. Trump today woke up and decided to claim it's more than 100,000.

Why not make it a million?

If I were president and I wanted to tank the dollar and get rich off it, here is exactly what I would do.

I would hire a Treasury Secretary who already made $3.5 billion crashing another country's currency. I would put my guy in charge of the agency that approves bank charters. I would install a crypto czar with $200M in crypto holdings and give him an ethics waiver so nobody could challenge it.

Then I would sign an executive order banning the government from ever creating a digital dollar so there was no competition.

Then I would have my family launch their own private digital dollar. My family takes 75% of net profits. I would grow it to $4.6 billion in circulation and route a $2 billion Abu Dhabi sovereign fund deal through it to prove it works.

Then I would get Congress to pass a law requiring every stablecoin in the country to hold short-term Treasury bills. Now every dollar of my digital currency is a forced buyer of government debt. Brookings projects $2.3 trillion in captive demand by 2030.

Then I would have my OCC guy grant my family's company a federal bank charter. Now I can issue my digital dollar with federal authority.

Then I would have my Treasury Secretary weaken the actual dollar. Bond buybacks that suppress yields but tank the currency. Build a $950 billion war chest for more. Let the debt hit $40 trillion. Dollar index drops to 99. Gold goes to highest point ever.

Then I would kill the Corporate Transparency Act and delete the FinCEN beneficial ownership database. That was the one law that required every shell company in America to report who actually owns it. Without it, nobody can trace who is buying my stablecoin, who is routing money through it, or where the profits land.

Then I would let the loop run. Weaker dollar drives demand for "stable" digital alternatives. The law I passed forces those alternatives to buy T-bills. That funds the government's debt. My family takes profit on every transaction. Foreign central banks walking away from Treasuries get replaced by legally mandated stablecoin reserves my family controls.

Then I would use sanctions to start cutting countries off from the dollar system entirely. And when those countries need a new way to transact in dollars, the only federally chartered private digital dollar in existence is mine. They can buy it through shell companies nobody can trace because I deleted the ownership database.

I just built a toll booth on the global financial system. I take a cut every time someone uses the dollar. And I made it so nobody can see who is paying.

And every single step I just described has already happened.

So what does that mean for you and I?

The reason the United States can borrow at low rates and keep your mortgage and your car payment and your import prices stable is because foreign central banks hold trillions in dollar reserves. That system has always been public. The benefit went to everyone. Lower borrowing costs, cheaper goods , and the single biggest economic advantage any country has ever had.

What I just described is the privatization of that function. The entity buying the debt is no longer a central bank acting in the public interest. It is a private company taking 75% of net profits for one family. The reserve function used to generate a public benefit. Now it generates a private fee.

Your purchasing power shrinks every time the dollar weakens. Your 401k buys less in real terms. Everything you import costs more. And every time the dollar drops, demand for the private digital alternative goes up. The one the president's family owns. The one that by law must buy government debt.

You absorb the cost of a weakening dollar. His family collects the profit. That is the trade.

The enforcement mechanism to stop a sitting president from doing this? There isn't one. Former White House ethics lawyer Richard Painter says it would be a violation for literally any other federal employee, but not the president.

Nobody voted for this. No one was asked. There was no debate. There is no enforcement mechanism. There is no one investigating it. The Senate tried and it was blocked.

This is the largest conflict of interest in American history happening in broad daylight while everyone argues about something else.

So what do you do? Share this. Make it impossible to ignore. Send it to your representative, your senator, every journalist you follow. We make them answer for it.
Because the only thing protecting this scheme right now is the fact that not enough people understand it yet.

Chevron just posted $12 billion in profit. Up 400% in a year. Their biggest quarter ever. Exxon made $14.5 billion. You paid for all of it at the pump.

Say what you want about Trump. He’s making something great again. And who’s more deserving than Big Oil.

In 2024 he asked them for a billion dollars and promised their whole wish list in return. This morning they collected.
