He needed to inconvenience hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people, & ruin the experience for lifelong fans so he could fall asleep in the luxury box.

It's the perfect image for the sloth & the corruption, the decadence & the rot that has descended over America.

BREAKING: HELL YES! Albania strikes a crushing blow against Jared Kushner's corrupt private island development by FREEZING the bank accounts of a major company tied to the project.

And it gets even better...

According to Albanian reporter Lindita Cela, the nation's anti-corruption prosecutors have frozen the accounts of a landholding company involved in Kushner's $4 billion luxury resort plans.

The move comes as massive protests sweep the country, with local residents incensed at the idea of Ivanka and Jared gobbling up coveted real estate to create a vacation spot for the Epstein Class. The slogan “Albania Is Not for Sale" has been spreading like wildfire and clashes between police and protestors are increasing in intensity.

The asset seizure was ordered by the Special Prosecution Against Corruption and Organized Crime and is part of a broader investigation into possibly fraudulent property titles.

Suspiciously, the company in question is owned by Qatari oligarchs Moutaz and Ramez Al-Khayyat. Kushner's ties to dirty Gulf money are well-established. They blossomed during his time in the first Trump administration, where he twisted American foreign policy to benefit specific actors in the region in return for massive investments and business advantages. This deal is rotten all the way to the core.

The Al-Khayyats have snatched up property along a protected stretch of coastline of the Adriatic Sea and it's here and on a nearby island that Kushner intends on erecting his resort for the top 1% of the top 1%. Given what we know about the Trump family, it's safe to presume that the development will serve as a paradise for pedophiles, war criminals, and human traffickers.

But this time, Jared bit off more than he can chew. Albanians are a proud, defiant people. They've survived centuries of larger regional powers seeking to divide their land, rewrite their history, and erase their culture. They're not going to let one greedy businessman defeat them now.

We stand with Albania!

Kushner out! Ivanka out!

Do you stand with the Albanian people?

Please ❤️ and share to demand more investigations into Kushner!

BREAKING: THE WORLD TURNS ON THE TRUMPS! Over 100,000 Albanians flood the streets to STOP crooked @jaredkushner from turning their protected wetlands into a luxury resort for billionaires.

While Trump dismantles America's ocean monitoring systems and guts environmental protections at home, his son-in-law Jared Kushner is bulldozing protected wetlands in Albania to build a $4 billion luxury resort — and thousands of Albanians are in the streets trying to stop him.

The project, linked to Kushner's firm Affinity Partners, would cover 2.5 square kilometers of the protected Vjosa-Narta coastal landscape — home to flamingos, Mediterranean monk seals, and sea turtle nesting sites. The planned development includes roughly 10,000 hotel rooms and villas on protected Adriatic coastland that Albanian law was specifically designed to preserve.

In early May, excavators began clearing pine forests and dunes. Barbed-wire fences went up, cutting off locals and tourists from beaches they've used for generations. Then a video went viral showing private security guards dragging a peaceful protester along a cliff by force.

That was the spark. Thousands flooded the streets of Tirana for two consecutive days, chanting "Albania belongs to Albanians" and demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Edi Rama, who has been facilitating the project through legislative changes to protected area laws passed in 2024 — changes that Albania's own anti-corruption prosecutors are now investigating.

SPAK, Albania's special anti-corruption prosecution office, has opened a formal probe into how Vjosa-Narta's protected status was quietly altered to make Kushner's resort possible. Two private security companies had their licenses revoked after the assault on protesters. Fifteen demonstrators have been charged. The local police chief was stripped of his duties.

This is the same Jared Kushner who received a $2 billion investment from Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund shortly after leaving the White House following Trump's first term. The same Kushner who has been leveraging Trump family connections into overseas deals across the Middle East and Europe,while his father-in-law runs American foreign policy.

Flamingos and monk seals don't have lobbyists. Protected coastlines don't make campaign contributions. But Kushner has a very famous father-in-law — and Albania's government apparently made the calculation that that was enough incentive to destroy their own country’s environment.

Now, Albanian citizens are saying otherwise. Loudly.
Please like and share this post everywhere if you support the Albanian citizens’ protests against Jared Kushner’s greedy desecration of their land and coastline.

Ivanka Trump:
"We were on a friend's boat, stopped for a swim. We swam to the island. Went on a hike barefoot to the top. We were captivated."
Then they bought it. $1.4 billion. Through Kushner's firm.
Saudi money. 3,600 bunkers. 10 miles of nuclear tunnels. No sand. No beach. From a romantic swim... to a military deal. What are they building?

Ivanka said they were on a "friend's boat."
That friend is Nat Rothschild.
Banking dynasty,Eton,Oxford.
Lost a billion in coal. Three passports.
Now his yacht is where Kushner met the Albanian PM.
Old money. New deal.

BREAKING: HELL YES! The European Union strikes a CRUSHING blow against Jared Kushner's corrupt resort development by warning Albania that it could endanger their efforts to join the EU.

This scandal just shot through the stratosphere...

“Albania should refrain from actions that could undermine the fulfillment of the closing benchmarks and [we] expect the Albanian authorities to act without delay,” stated a spokesperson for the European Commission.

Kushner's multi-billion dollar project has caused nationwide protests in Albania, with massive crowds taking to the streets to demand that their government block the development. As it turns out, the President's crooked son-in-law is reviled all around the world.

The plutocratic project — which includes a $1.4 billion development on an island and a $4.7 billion deal for a stretch of protected coastline — threatens crucial wildlife habitat for flamingos, turtles, and other animals. The protests have been affectionately nicknamed the "Flamingo Revolution." Because of the risk to wildlife, the EU is warning Albania that they may be in violation of the Union's environmental rules if they allow the project to proceed.

“In the EU accession process, as part of the closing benchmarks for negotiating Chapter 27 on environment and climate change, Albania is expected to align fully with EU legislation in this area, including the Birds and the Habitats Directives,” said the EU spokesperson. They called on Albania to rescind its changes to the Law on Protected Areas and "terminate" a law regarding strategic investments.

Most exciting of all, the spokesperson informed POLITICO that Albania's Minister of Environment Sofjan Jaupaj has informed the European Commission that the construction project has been suspended. A full environmental impact assessment will now be conducted.

“We have already expressed our concerns to the minister of the environment about the potential shortcomings of this project,” the spokesperson added.

The wisest path forward here for Albania is self-evident. Kushner's development is deeply unpopular, designed to create another twisted playground for global oligarchs, sex predators, and war criminals. It does nothing for the Albanian people. And on the other hand, admission to the EU will create a brighter economic future for everyone in the country.

If they must choose between the two, Albania has no choice but to reject Kushner.

Please ❤️ and share if you stand with the Albanian people!

🇦🇱 | After days of fierce protests and armed clashes, the Albanian government has announced it is halting all work on Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump’s controversial project.

Crowds are refusing to leave the streets until the entire project is permanently canceled.

French Queen Marie Antoinette said "let them eat cake". The phrase is famously attributed to her to show how out-of-touch the monarchy was with the peasants.

U.S. President Donald Trump said "Let them watch it on tv". Shows how out of touch Trump is with U.S. citizens.

HE DOESN'T CARE.
