🇦🇱 Fourth night of protests in #Albania against a megatourism project in a natural reserve, linked to Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump. Protesters demand suspension and defend Albanian lands.

I'm afraid that this is why the US administration wants to shut down ocean observations: they don't want the people to know what is happening in our oceans, as it does not fit their ideology and the interests of their fossil fuel industry funders.

I’m really enjoying this

[Sir Escanor (𝘏𝘰𝘱𝘪𝘶𝘮 𝘚𝘭𝘢𝘺𝘦𝘳) @EscanorReloaded]

WHAT IS JARED KUSHNER BUYING?
Three deals. Three countries. Same pattern every time.

1/
Let's start with how he found Sazan Island.
Kushner said he discovered it while vacationing aboard a yacht owned by Nat Rothschild.
A Rothschild showed him the island.
Keep that in your pocket.

2/
ALBANIA. Sazan Island. $1.4 billion.
Sazan Island was used as a military base by Italy during World War II. The remains of military fortifications are still there. Hundreds of aging concrete bunkers built during the reign of communist dictator Enver Hoxha.
There are still munitions buried underground. In addition the Soviet Union used the island when it was on friendly terms with Albania. After the relationship ruptured the Soviets abandoned a fleet of submarines in a base by Vlora. They eventually rotted and sank.

WWII Italian military fortifications.
Hundreds of Cold War bunkers.
Live munitions still in the ground.
Abandoned Soviet submarine base.
The project envisages turning this communist-era fortified island, riddled with abandoned bunkers and tunnels, into a luxury resort.
Preparatory requirements include demilitarization, clearance of unexploded ordnance, and the inventory of underground tunnels and bunkers, all before a finalized business plan can even be submitted.
He needs to count the bunkers before he can submit a business plan.
And Albania declassified the island for civilian use one month after Trump won re-election.

3/
To get it, protected status had to be stripped.
Albanian anti-corruption prosecutors froze the bank accounts of the landholding company tied to the project.
The seizure was ordered by the Special Prosecution Against Corruption and Organized Crime amid a widening investigation into allegedly fraudulent property titles.
Heavy machinery began clearing the core of the protected zone without permits, without a completed environmental impact assessment, and without public consultation.
Thousands took to the streets of Tirana for two consecutive days. Private security guards beat protesters while police watched. Fifteen protesters charged with criminal proceedings. Deltia's Gaming
Assets frozen. Fraudulent titles. Protesters beaten. Machines running without permits.
On a live munitions island he doesn't legally own yet.

4/
SERBIA. Former Yugoslav Army Headquarters. $500 million.
The deal would see the bombed-out site of the former Yugoslav Ministry of Defense in Belgrade transformed into a luxury hotel complex. Bombs were dropped on the site in 1999 by NATO forces during the Serbia-Kosovo war.
The destroyed headquarters of the entire Yugoslav military apparatus.
Belgrade sits on top of a tangle of tunnels, shafts, caves and bunkers built across thousands of years. Military tunnels running under the city from Roman times through the Cold War. Tito built a nuclear-capable bunker beneath Kalemegdan Fortress to protect the Yugoslav government from Russian invasion.
Over a hundred machine gun nests and nuclear-capable bunkers were built under the fortress in the early 1950s. One remained a classified state secret until 2008.
Kushner targets the NATO-bombed headquarters of Yugoslavia's military, sitting directly above a documented Cold War underground tunnel network.
To get it, a heritage protection had to be stripped.
Prosecutors confirmed a cultural official admitted to forging a key document to lift the site's heritage protections and clear the way for the deal.
Forged government document. Military heritage site. Classified tunnel network underneath.
The deal collapsed when the forgery was exposed. Serbia's president called the prosecution a witch hunt.

Guess who got a pay rise of over $107,000 since November last year?

Go on #Batters, WHO?

Which SENATOR in Australia got an EXTRA $2,057.69 per week - Not pay but INCREASED PAY?

Or for you #pensioners who get paid fortnightly, she gets an EXTRA $4,115.38 per fortnight, yes, ON TOP of her 2025 salary - Since November.

Yes, darlings, the VERY SAME PERSON who voted against increasing the minimum wage, against increasing #Jobseeker support.

The same person who is MISSING from parliament nearly HALF the time.

GUESS. WHO.

[MormorLady @mormorlady]

Umm

Investors can still buy as many houses as they want to

But

The Australian taxpayer won’t be paying them to do so

Good policy yes!!

The One Nation housing policy disaster was worse than a train wreck- it was like the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs.

[Peter FitzSimons @Peter_Fitz]

One Nation is a cross between a train-wreck and a circus when it comes to policy - which is not surprising.
It is a party of grievance, not a party of government - and its policy makers are noted neither for their intelligence or education.

Is anyone seriously surprised that Allegra Spender voted against Labor’s tax bill?? #afternoonbriefing

Spender represents one of the wealthiest constituencies in the country, entitled people who want to end progressive taxation.
Peak hypocrisy for a tax reform advocate

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

This is so insanely corrupt, I can’t even believe it.

More than half the donors to Trump’s $400 million White House ballroom just won over $50 billion in new federal contracts in six months.

And here’s the part that should make your blood boil.

Sixteen of these 27 donors were facing federal enforcement actions, antitrust reviews, labor cases, securities charges. Many of those cases have been quietly dropped or scaled back since Trump took office. You write a check, your legal problems disappear. That’s not a coincidence.

The White House won’t even release the full donor list. They’re hiding it on purpose, because daylight is the one thing pay-to-play can’t survive. A federal judge already ruled ballroom construction has to stop until Congress authorizes it.

Government is supposed to serve the people, not auction itself off to the highest bidder. When access goes to whoever pays the most, working families always end up paying the price.

We either end the corruption, or the corruption will end us.

[Aaron Smith @aaronsmith]

Most One Nation voters don't care how insane the policy is.

But this is a ripper: the interview opens with a plan to evict 400,000 permanent residents and seize their homes for the govt.

So unhinged even Barnaby thought wtf and returned to do the interview again. All true👇
