POL THE WHY I HATE JARED KUSHNER THREAD

[Ragnarok]

I find it strange that every other piece of information in the administration is leaked before the ink even dries but we can't learn a thing about this "peace plan". Even if this document is a 1000 plus pages, you can bet I will be reading the whole thing as it *may* be the most important document in man's history...

 

[CaryC]

I call Kushner Rasputin for a reason. Like the crazed priest Rasputin, Kushner has power at the highest levels of government totally beyond his abilities. the fact he FAILED HIS SECURITY CHECKS is a huge dot.

I doubt the leaders he meets take him seriously either. They must regard him as a leech who is using his position as son-in-law to Trump to milk it for all it is worth.

heck, I think the man is EVIL. this is my story and I am sticking to it.

I'm with you, and get that totally. No problem.

But was wondering if you can fail a security check if you have debt. Which I'm pretty sure Jared does (debt). Having debt, little or small, or billions means it can be used as leverage on your decisions. Thus a failure on security. Let's ask Soros, shall we?

Say it ain't so! Shirley, it's on the internet! I mean after meeting with hundreds of thousands of leaders in the known universe, it's still a secret? Come on, you're getting slothful.

Meaning sloth like, meaning slow.

Let me know when you have it, I want to read it too.

I was thinking along the same lines. The ink dried a long time ago on this one, and timing is everything. I bet it is pretty short, though- cut and dry.

Know what is coming...I AM in suspense as to what SPIN will be put on this "art of the deal of the century," that Scripture detailed enough thousands of years ago.

Get behind me, satan!

Don't know much about that level security clearance at all, and things have changed a lot since I was forced to get my grubby little workaday SECRET. However, I doubt debt is the issue with this one, if there is anyone involved in the approval process who gives a dead rat about this country's best interests. And yes, I know who supposedly forced the issue and my statement still stands.

Also, I doubt the truth of this will see daylight in our lifetimes, either.

Yeah, and I get that, no problem. AND if debt is a security problem, I'm sure it's a special kind of debt. I owed money (debt) on a car I bought, and still got a Top Secret clearance while in the Army. Like maybe a billion dollars to Soros, is a special kind of debt. Or the bookie at the track.

So true! IF it turns out to be the "Deal of Death", I wonder how many will recognize it for what it is? Too many nay-sayers these days saying that "things will continue on as they always have". "Nothing to worry about".

LOL I was just poking at you, and still am, since this is all speculation, BUT you can read it now if you want.

IMHO, IMHO note I'm saying IMHO:

Many, including me from time to time, refer to "....the covenant...." mentioned in Dan. 9: 27 as a "Peace Deal". So when Oslo, or whatever came along, we were freaking (I was, it was terrible LOL). The Bible doesn't actually say that though.

What the Bible says is, "....and he (most of us read that as the AC, and I think rightly so, even just on the grammar side of things, and our assumption based on events in todays world would be, Jared) shall confirm (to make it so, to make in reality something [a promise/agreement/treaty] that already exists, what agreement is already in existence?) the (a specific afore mentioned) covenant...."

IMHO that would be this one, note: not a new one.

Gen 15:7 And he said unto him, I am the LORD that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it.
Gen 15:8 And he said, Lord GOD, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?

You can read the rest of Gen. 15 and note that the ceremony was in fact making a covenant. Cutting the calf in half, from head to tail, and the two altars and walking between them. The Lord goes on to tell Abraham that even though him and his heirs will be sojourners for the next 400+ years this land belongs to him.

That covenant, for that is what it is, isn't based on Ab, being a good boy, or anything. God gave it to Ab, and his heirs, and that gift is guaranteed in this covenant for perpetuity. As a side note: So long as one member of the covenant is still alive, and their ancestor's still exist (think about that) that covenant is still active.

It is my assumption that it is this covenant that the AC "confirms". The Jewish right, given by God to Abraham, to the land of Israel. Not necessarily, a peace agreement between Israel and whoever. Why that is done for a period of 7 years is beyond me.

But still, if Jared does get a "peace deal", the "deal of century", I'll probably still be foaming at the mouth.

That is very interesting and something I've never considered. Gotta chew on that for a while. Thanks!

I've taken issue with those who believe this is a "peace plan" between the AC and Israel. The thing is, that's not what the text says! In reading Dan. 9:27 I've always wondered if this might be a covenant that the AC confirms "with many" all of whom make this covenant against Israel?

Interestingly the ESV and NAS (which I consider most true to the text) translate the first part of the verse, "And he shall make a strong covenant with many for one week..." and "And he will make a firm covenant with the many for one week..."

Fascinating times we're living in!!

I have to wonder if Jared's plan for Israel hasn't secretly had something to do with us not getting a wall. After all, how would it look for Jared to tell Israel to tear down its wall, when we put one up? Hmmmmm? MMJ

https://www.nowtheendbegins.com/mid...-tear-down-440-miles-protective-border-walls/

In an interview with Sky News, Jared Kushner said that the goal of the political component of the plan, which is still under wraps, is "really about establishing borders," before quickly qualifying that statement with "the goal of resolving these borders is really to eliminate them" because a border-free region would allow for the free flow of goods and lead to more "opportunity." Kushner said the economic effect would be felt throughout the Middle East, including Jordan, Lebanon, and Egypt.

jared-kushner-middle-east-peace-plan-requires-israel-tear-down-border-walls-palestine-gaza-strip
by Geoffrey Grider February 27, 2019

President Trump once praised Israel’s border wall system as an example for the United States’ own security, but his son-in-law and senior adviser, Jared Kushner, said that his Middle East peace plan would ultimately eliminate dividing lines in the entire Middle East region.

Israel has spent the better part of the last decade and a half building an elaborate labyrinth of protective barrier border walls that shield them from attacks on the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, the Golan Heights and on their souther border with Egypt. This has reduced the number of terrorist incursions to virtually zero. Illegal immigration? Non-existent. Walls work. The only people against Israel’s wall system are the terrorists. No surprise there.

Jared Kushner has spent the better part of the last two plus years crafting his ultra-secret Middle East Peace Plan, and for it to work, it will require that Israel dismantle the very border wall system that is currently protecting so efficiently. Who in their right mind will think that’s a good idea? Certainly not Israel. Is it any wonder that we have done dozens of article comparing Jared to the coming biblical Antichrist?

FROM HAARETZ: Jared Kushner is currently on a five-nation tour of the Middle East — though he won’t be making an appearance in Israel or Palestine, the focal point of the plan — in order to secure regional support for the Trump administration’s plan.

In an interview with Sky News, Jared Kushner said that the goal of the political component of the plan, which is still under wraps, is “really about establishing borders,” before quickly qualifying that statement with “the goal of resolving these borders is really to eliminate them” because a border-free region would allow for the free flow of goods and lead to more “opportunity.” Kushner said the economic effect would be felt throughout the Middle East, including Jordan, Lebanon, and Egypt.

One of the main principles of the plan, according to Kushner, is freedom, including freedom of opportunity and religion. He said the aim is to eliminate the borders as they are today, “in order to guarantee freedom of movement for people and goods.” source

Kushner also told Sky News that he hopes to see Palestinians — currently physically split between the West Bank and the Gaza Strip — “unified under one leadership and come together.” Trump reportedly supports his son-in-law’s free movement plan.

AGAINST Israel, yes.

Don't forget what Trump said:

WATCH THIS: Trump Says Israel Will Pay A ‘HIGH PRICE’ For Moving Embassy To Jerusalem, Palestinians Getting ‘Something Very Good’

President Trump exhorted West Virginia voters to back Republican Senate candidate Patrick Morrisey in November’s midterm elections Tuesday night, but most of the rally followed a familiar pattern of Trump rattling off a list of accomplishments and urging voters to keep the Senate in GOP hands this November.

One of the last thing Trump mentioned was that he fulfilled his campaign promise to move the United States Embassy to Jerusalem.

But President Trump added that in return, Israel will now have to pay a “high price” in negotiations with the Palestinians. He added that the Palestinians will “get something very good” in return for the embassy move, “because it’s their turn next.” Trump didn’t offer any details on what the Palestinians will “get” in return.

Trump said: “If there’s ever going to be peace with the Palestinians, then this was a good thing to have done, because we took it off the table….In past peace talks, they never got past Jerusalem becoming the Capital….So I said let’s take it off the table. And you know what?…..In the negotiation, Israel will have to pay a higher price, because they won a very big thing…..But they (the Palestinians) will get something very good, cause it’s their turn next.”

Sounds like the plan for the FUSA, too ...

 

[TammyinWI]

I am really wondering how much longer God is going to hold off. He sees and knows everything, and the convergence of abominations is astonishing.

His Mighty Hand will smite those that attempt to move those borders and take from His Chosen Piece of Land. The "peace plan" may be what puts His anger in motion, in immense proportions.

I am no one special, but I think I am sensing that He is feeling a great wrath of anger, that things are ramping up in the spiritual realm. It is an almost overwhelming feeling at times, and drives me to much prayer. I am praying for some of the evil-doers, but also for protection against them, out of necessity.

Today the battle has been really bad again.

I need to get in the Word more, that is for sure.

 

[Oreally]

it's him owning 666 5th Avenue, that really trouble me....

that, and the RFID operation hq'd there.

and, him being an obvious fag, too, who must be behind the admins push to decriminalize homosexuality world-wide.

jeez,have we been played?

 

[evenso]

I've also been wondering about the timing of all this. Will Bibi's political woes factor into Kushner's plans??

And Tammy, I totally agree with you. The evil that seems to be exponentially growing is almost palpable. Our spiritual armor is absolutely essential!

 

[TammyinWI]

I know that I so wish that I could shake the pervasive dark feeling I have. It is almost off the charts today. Sigh.

Lotta hijinx going on, and I rebuke it all.

The Bibi scandal thing is something that has been on the fringe for me in my world. Haven't really read about it, but you are probably correct in that idea.

I ask God daily to equip me with the Full Armor, yes, very vital!

 

[Ragnarok]

You can't get more globalist than that...

 

[Doomer Doug]

Ragnarok, open borders is code for turning advanced western countries INTO THIRD WORLD CESSPOOLS!

Kushner is a GLOBALIST, OPEN BORDER, CORPORATE PREDATOR, AND A NEW YORK CITY UBER LIBERAL.

 

[TammyinWI]

And do you think he is the only one out of the family? Or just a few family members are?

 

[Ragnarok]

And do you think he is the only one out of the family? Or just a few family members are?

I don't speculate... I let the fruits reveal the character

 

[SouthernBreeze]

And do you think he is the only one out of the family? Or just a few family members are?

I don't know about the rest of the family, but when you have a man as evil as Kushner, who gets his power from the spiritual realm, I would think that he has the power to influence those around him. I think Trump is under his influence to an extent, but not completely. Too many Christians praying for him. Look how many people are flocking to AOC. Tell me she doesn't have an evil influence on those who support her. Thee is a spiritual war being fought that we can't see, but we get to see the outcomes of it in our realm all around us every day.

 

[TammyinWI]

I don't speculate... I let the fruits reveal the character

That is exactly what a person needs to do! It leads to a lot of trouble when people make excuses for unsavory activities and choose to look the other way.

 

[Doomer Doug]

I see Kushner is now running around Saudi Arabia in full Rasputin mode.

Reminder: Jared Kushner Also Scammed His Way Into Harvard
Natalie Gontcharova
March 13, 2019, 12:49 PM

The college-admissions cheating scam involving several celebrities including Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman rocked the online world yesterday, but it unfortunately didn't reveal anything surprising. The children of rich people and celebrities benefit in the admissions process because at the end of the day, college is a big business.

Rich government officials of dubious qualifications to serve in the White House are no exception. In 2006, ProPublica editor Dan Golden wrote a book called The Price of Admission: How America's Ruling Class Buys Its Way into Elite Colleges — and Who Gets Left Outside the Gates, which chronicled how the wealthy make huge, tax-deductible donations in order to get their underachieving kids into selective universities.

One of the people he mentioned in the book is senior advisor to the president, Jared Kushner, whose father, New Jersey real estate developer and convicted tax evader Charles Kushner, had pledged $2.5 million to Harvard University in 1998, right before Kushner enrolled in the Ivy League school in 1999. At the time, Golden wrote, Harvard accepted about one out of every nine applicants, while now it takes one out of 20.

These types of deals were already no secret at the time. College applications directly ask whether your parents have donated to the school, and if the answer is yes and the sum is big enough, you get flagged as a "development case" and your application is fast-tracked.

"Legacies," such as Ivanka Trump, who attended the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of business just like her father, also get preferential treatment, so even if their GPAs and SAT scores aren't on par with the school's average, their chances of getting in are higher.

Golden interviewed administrators at Kushner's high school, who described him as a mediocre student. "There was no way anybody in the administrative office of the school thought he would on the merits get into Harvard," a former official at The Frisch School in Paramus, NJ, told him. "His GPA did not warrant it, his SAT scores did not warrant it. We thought for sure, there was no way this was going to happen. Then, lo and behold, Jared was accepted. It was a little bit disappointing because there were at the time other kids we thought should really get in on the merits, and they did not."

Golden found that out of Harvard's 400 biggest donors, among those who had children, half of the list had at least one child who attended the university. Now, like Jared Kushner, they are some of the country's most influential decision-makers in politics, business, law, and medicine. How many qualified students from poor and middle-class families missed out on their chance to go to Harvard or another top school because other kids' parents decided to pay their way to the top?

That has always been the case, and always will be the case. In the draft riots of 1863 in NYC one could get out of the draft (not to mention the Vietnam war) by simply paying 300.00 which in 1863 was a lot of money.

However, in the case of Jared, and his position now, it is a bit spooky. My question now is, is his brilliance ("....if Jared can't get a Peace deal no one can-Trump...) attributable to someone else?

Jared Kushner was told by the secretary of state, Rex Tillerson, that his interference had ‘endangered the US’, while his wife Ivanka’s team was derided as the ‘home of all bad ideas’.

Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, was confronted by two of the most senior US government officials for mixing his personal interests with US foreign policy, according to a new book.

Kushner, an envoy to the Middle East for his father-in-law, is said to have been robustly challenged by both Rex Tillerson, then secretary of state, and Gary Cohn, formerly Trump’s top economic adviser.

The confrontations are detailed in Kushner Inc by the journalist Vicky Ward, who also describes interference in foreign relations by Kushner’s wife, Ivanka Trump. The book is scheduled to be released on 19 March. A copy was obtained by the Guardian.

Ward reports that Tillerson blamed Kushner for Trump’s abrupt endorsement of a provocative blockade and diplomatic campaign against Qatar by Saudi Arabia and several allies in June 2017. The US has thousands of troops stationed in Qatar.

Tillerson “told Kushner that his interference had endangered the US”, an unidentified Tillerson aide tells Ward. Tillerson is also said to have read negative “chatter” about himself in intelligence reports after Kushner belittled him to Kushner’s friend Mohammed bin Salman, the controversial Saudi crown prince.

Meanwhile, Cohn is said to have rebuked Kushner in January 2017 after it was revealed Kushner had dined with executives from the Chinese financial corporation Anbang, which was considering investing in the Kushner family’s troubled tower at 666 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan.
The heart of the US-Saudi relationship lies in the Kushner-prince friendship Mohamad Bazzi.

“You’ve got to be crazy,” Cohn is said to have told Kushner in front of others. Kushner met the executives around the time he hosted Chinese government officials at the Fifth Avenue tower. The building was eventually refinanced by a Qatari-backed investment fund.

Ivanka Trump is reported to have interfered in telephone calls between her father and foreign dignitaries despite having overseas business interests. “Thanks so much for the CD you sent me,” she is quoted as having told an Indian leader by someone who heard the call. The Trump Organization owns several residential towers in India.

Ward’s book portrays Kushner and Ivanka Trump as relentlessly ambitious operators who are loathed by many forced to work with them. She reports that White House staffers mocked Kushner as the “secretary of everything” for his wide-ranging meddling and derided Ivanka Trump’s team as Habi – “home of all bad ideas”.

John Kelly, formerly Trump’s chief of staff and homeland security secretary, is quoted as dismissing the couple as “just playing government”.

The book also details disagreements between them and Steve Bannon, Trump’s former campaign chief and top White House strategist. Bannon clashed with the couple, who are former Democrats, while pushing to convert Trump’s aggressively nationalist campaign rhetoric into government policy.

Bannon recalls Kushner furiously shouting at him at the White House in 2017 after he confronted Kushner about holding secret talks with senators on immigration reform. “He goes from a little boy to, like, this ****ing devil,” Bannon is quoted as saying.

Bannon also claims to have told Ivanka Trump: “Go **** yourself … you are nothing” in front of her father, during an argument over who was the bigger leaker to the media. Ivanka Trump is said to have called Bannon a “****ing liar”.

For her part, Ivanka Trump is focused on cementing a Trump dynasty to rival the Kennedys and Bushes by becoming commander-in-chief herself one day, according to Ward. “She thinks she’s going to be president of the United States,” Cohn is quoted as saying.

If Trump isn't careful, Jared and Ivanka will be his undoing. Who knows, that may be their plan. (Jared's, anyway) I do not understand Trump's relationship with Jared other than him being his SIL. Trump knows that he is a globalist of the highest order, and a life long Democrat. What's up?

WASHINGTON
Jared Kushner will travel to Mexico on Tuesday to finalize talks over a revised North American trade pact after reaching a tentative agreement with Republican and Democratic lawmakers to ratify its passage, two administration officials told McClatchy.

Kushner, son-in-law and senior adviser to President Donald Trump, will travel with U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer, who has led an effort on Capitol Hill to negotiate a path toward ratification.

Early in his term, Trump pulled out of the North American Free Trade Agreement, or NAFTA, with Canada and Mexico, saying he would pursue a deal more beneficial for American workers.

One source said that Kushner was “optimistic” over the fate of the agreement, which requires support from Democratic leaders in the House in order to secure a vote.

Early Monday evening, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., had still not announced a final agreement.

Republicans have spent the past several months using floor speeches, tweet storms and home state engagements to blast Democrats for not bringing up Trump’s trade deal for a vote in the House. Because it is a revenue measure, the law states that legislative action on the trade deal must first take place in the House before it can go to the Senate.

The GOP’s pressure campaign on Pelosi in particular has intensified in recent weeks, with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky making floor remarks to accuse the California Democrat of “slow-walking” the agreement and caving to the demands of “big labor” while nursing an “impeachment obsession.”

Pelosi, meanwhile, has been working to thread a delicate needle, determined to negotiate a deal with the administration that a broad coalition of House Democrats can support.

She seeks to deliver a deal that can win the backing of moderates facing tough re-election races next year —they are eager to vote on a trade bill before year-end to show they accomplished a key legislative priority amid a controversial impeachment inquiry.

But Pelosi has also been actively engaged with unions, especially the AFL-CIO, to shore up key enforcement provisions to protect workers, which she hopes will attract progressive lawmakers who have shied away from backing labor deals in the past.

The sticking points at the final stages of negotiations between the three countries affected by the new trade deal related to provisions involving to steel, iron and pharmaceuticals, according to sources close to the discussions.

If Jared Kushner cannot achieve peace between Israel and the Palestinians, Donald Trump claimed on Saturday, “it can’t be done”.

The president also told the Israeli American Council national summit some Jewish people in America don’t love Israel enough, a remark some said was antisemitic, and attacked the Democratic congresswoman Ilhan Omar for what he called her “despicable rhetoric” about Israel.
Speaking in Hollywood, Florida, after addressing a Republican dinner in nearby Aventura, the president introduced Kushner, his son-in-law and senior adviser who has played a leading role in helping the administration craft its Middle East peace plan.
Trump said he had long been told that achieving peace between Israel and the Palestinians would be the hardest deal of all. But “if Jared Kushner can’t do it, it can’t be done”, he said.
The White House has said its peace plan is complete and had promised to release it after Israeli elections in September. The long-delayed plan remains under wraps, and Israel appears headed for its third round of elections this year.
The plan also faces rejection by Palestinian officials, who object to the pro-Israel leanings of the Trump administration.
In his remarks on Saturday, Trump said, to some laughter and applause: “We have to get the people of our country, of this country, to love Israel more, I have to tell you that. We have to do it. We have to get them to love Israel more. Because you have Jewish people that are great people – they don’t love Israel enough.”
Aaron Keyak, a former head of the National Jewish Democratic Council, said the remarks were antisemitic.
“Trump’s insistence on using antisemitic tropes when addressing Jewish audiences is dangerous and should concern every member of the Jewish community – even Jewish Republicans,” Keyak said.
Trump has been accused of trafficking in antisemitic stereotypes before, including in August, when he said American Jews who vote for Democrats show “either a total lack of knowledge or great disloyalty”. A number of Jewish groups noted that accusations of disloyalty have long been made against Jews.
Greeted by some laughter and cheers, Trump also told his audience in Florida that “a lot of you are in the real estate business because I know you very well. You’re brutal killers, not nice people at all but you have to vote for me you have no choice.
“You’re not going to vote for Pocahontas” – a repeat of a racist slur Trump uses against the Massachusetts senator Elizabeth Warren, who has claimed Native American ancestry – “I can tell you that. You’re not going to vote for the wealth tax.
“Yeah, let’s take 100% of your wealth away, no, no, even if you don’t like me, some of you don’t, some of you I don’t like at all actually. And you’re going to be my biggest supporters because you’ll be out of business in about 15 minutes if they get in.”
Trump said Israel has never had a better friend in the White House than him because, unlike his predecessors, “I kept my promises”.
He recounted an extensive riff on his promise to recognize Jerusalem as the Israeli capital and relocate the US embassy there from Tel Aviv. Trump also highlighted his decision to reverse more than a half-century of US policy by recognizing Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights, the strategic highlands on the border with Syria.
Trump also mentioned Omar, a Minnesota Democrat, criticizing her for supporting the Boycott, Divest, Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel. In August, at Trump’s urging, Israel denied Omar and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan entry to the country. The first two Muslim women elected to Congress are outspoken critics of Israel over its treatment of Palestinians.
“My administration strongly opposes this despicable rhetoric,” Trump said. “As long as I am your president, it makes no difference. It’s not happening.”
The Israeli American Council is backed by Miriam and Sheldon Adelson, leading Trump donors. Both introduced Trump, Miriam Adelson asserting that Trump “has already gone down in the annals of Jewish history, and that is before he’s even completed his first term in office”.
