this is quite weird, because SA invading Qatar would goosed the price of oil and thereby Exxon's profit by $10Bs, is Rexxon T fully vested?

[clambake]

how'd they keep that under wraps?

Kushner's family-run real estate company unsuccessfully tried to seek financing from Qatar's investment fund for a deeply troubled New York City property a month before Kushner backed a blockade on the Gulf kingdom. The same allegation surfaced during the summer of 2017, but has returned to the fore as Kushner is dogged by claims he abused his White House role for personal gain.https://www.haaretz.com/us-news/qatar-kushner-and-cohen-the-latest-trump-scandal-rocking-d-c-1.6096437

Qatar now coming through for the Kushner Company?



Charles Kushner . . . is in advanced talks with Brookfield Properties over a partnership to take control of the 41-story aluminum-clad tower 666 Fifth Avenue in Midtown, according to two real-estate executives who have been briefed on the pending deal but are not authorized to discuss it. Brookfield is a publicly traded company, headquartered in Canada, one of whose major investors is the Qatar Investment Authority.


Brookfield has extensive ties to Qatar. The Qatar Investment Authority is the second-largest shareholder in Brookfield Properties, ranking only behind Brookfield’s former parent company.

[hater]

Looks like Qatar has been fighting back the bullying successfully so far

All their financial losses due to the blockade have been recouped

All this stupid meltdown did is push Qatar closer to Iran. Saudis are such masterminds :lmao

[hater]

Also notice the propaganda against Qatar World Cup has started. Already throwing accusations Qatar bought the World Cup. No shit :lol thats always ben happening

[hater]

One more funny thing in all of this. Saudi is actually turning Qatar into an island. They are dighing a huge ditch around it :lol talk about a meltdown :lol

lawyers ain't cheap, tbh.

maybe Rex Tillerson cared about more than just his stock portfolio.

if he were still running Exxon, anything to goose the oil price precedes any care for USA (eg, invade Iraq for oil)

[Winehole23]

well, he wasn't and he didn't act like it either

[Spurtacular]

Tillerson is an oil guy who undoubtedly protects his interests.

[Spurtacular]

Also notice the propaganda against Qatar World Cup has started. Already throwing accusations Qatar bought the World Cup. No shit :lol thats always ben happening

Son, you know they bought it. This is not your finest thread.

I like him too. Trump thought he was hiring a puppet and Tillerson actually did his job instead.

Tillerson actually did his job instead.

Fuck no!

Rexxon RAPED the State Dept, just like the oligarchy's whores are doing to the entire Exec branch, hollowed it out, destroyed its "soft power" projection.

Jared Kushner holds no official post in the US government afaik, but he is up on that stage today

I thought for a minute about posting this elsewhere, Kushner is frequently cited in dedicated Hunter Biden threads

US foreign negotiator and probable Saudi agent Jared Kushner couldn't get a security clearance in Trump 1.0, but that didn't stop him from getting the Israel-Palestine foreign policy portfolio and heading up a COVID committee -- he was kinda connected to the boss

Seems the kerfuffle about the intercepted foreign agents phone call mentioned Kushner

FBI/NSA are routinely supposed to be informed about stuff like this, but DNI Tulsi Gabbard instead took it straight to Susie Wiles, Trump's Chief of Staff

I have a feeling this could turn out to be a big deal

[Winehole23]

Tulsi hid it for eight months


U.S. intelligence officials are treating the material in the complaint with the utmost secrecy, contending that disclosure of the underlying intelligence report at issue could severely damage national security.


A heavily redacted version of the complaint was seen by select lawmakers in Congress last week after the Journal first reported on its existence and that it had stalled within Gabbard’s office. Democrats have questioned why the complaint was held up for eight months and indicated it raises national-security concerns that deserve more investigation. Republicans have defended Gabbard and said the attention on the complaint has been orchestrated to undermine the Trump administration.


The complaint specifically accused Gabbard of limiting the sharing of the intelligence concerning the conversation for political purposes. Shortly after the intelligence was collected last year, Gabbard met with White House chief of staff Susie Wiles to discuss the matter. The whistleblower complaint alleges that following that meeting, Gabbard worked to limit the sharing of the intelligence, people familiar with the complaint said.



A Gabbard spokeswoman has described those allegations as “baseless and politically motivated,” and said that the claims pertaining to Gabbard were deemed by the former acting inspector general to be not credible.


A second allegation in the complaint alleges that the NSA’s general counsel’s office failed to report a potential crime to the Justice Department that was raised by the content of the intercepted conversation, and did so for political purposes. A career official in that office determined the referral wasn’t necessary because the allegations lacked merit, a senior administration official said.


The intelligence community inspector general didn’t determine whether that allegation against the NSA was credible.

[Winehole23]

The allegations in the conversation about Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law, would be significant if verified, according to other U.S. officials familiar with its contents.

[Winehole23]

Jared Kushner is currently a pure volunteer, he holds no official US post

[Winehole23]

[Winehole23]

If Joe Biden's son-in-law was flying around the Middle East as an unofficial Secretary of State while also working on business deals for his company with the same people he was meeting with on behalf of the US government, I'm pretty sure it would be a bigger story

[Winehole23]

*crickets*

[Winehole23]

the self-enrichment of Jared Kushner under color of national service is orders of magnitude worse than anything alleged about Hunter Biden


As the Trump administration & Congress last year moved to repeal sanctions on Syria, the Qatar-based family that most stood to benefit was privately negotiating a real-estate partnership with Jared Kushner and proposing a Trump golf course in Syria www.nytimes.com/2026/04/19/u...

[Winehole23]

One reason that we cannot have professional diplomats representing the interests of the United States is that it would disrupt a pattern of personal enrichment for the Presidents allies and families.

[Winehole23]

media mostly asleep at the switch on the blatant conflict of interest
