" ‘MIVD keek mee op telefoon Jared Kushner en ontdekte dat hij toegang had tot honderden miljoenen dollars op bankrekening in Dubai’ "
-> "Dat schrijft de Amerikaanse onderzoeksjournalist Matthew Cole in zijn binnenkort te verschijnen nieuwe boek, waarvan Vanity Fair een fragment heeft gepubliceerd."
-> "Volgens Cole was de rekening in Dubai gevuld met ongeveer 750 miljoen dollar van de koninklijke families van Saoedi-Arabië en de Verenigde Arabische Emiraten. Het geld zou via een liefdadigheidsorganisatie zijn doorgesluisd en bedoeld zijn voor geheime buitenlandse operaties van de Emiraten."
-> "Cole schrijft dat Kushner de rekening niet heeft gemeld in de financiële opgaven die hij als Witte Huis-medewerker moest indienen. Dat zou in strijd zijn met Amerikaanse wetgeving."

"Trump toont zich nu openlijk een bondgenoot van Rusland, met kolossale gevolgen voor Oekraïne en Europa"
-> "De Amerikaanse geopolitieke revolutie heeft grote consequenties voor Oekraïne, dat behalve tegen Rusland ook vecht tegen China, Noord-Korea, de VS – en de nieuwe wereldmacht Elon Musk."
-> "Het woord ‘verraad’ komt niet uit de lucht vallen: ook in de VS heerst afschuw over Trumps Oekraïnebeleid, dat volgens analisten veel verder gaat dan schofferen of beledigen."

Wild cat at risk of extinction over Elon Musk’s Starbase
The SpaceX founder has been given permission by the Trump administration to annex 715 acres of land that is home to some of the last remaining ocelots
One of the rarest species of wild cat in the US, there are fewer than 100 ocelots left. They are famously elusive, living in the thick brush of south Texas, where they blend into the thorny scrub of mesquite and acacia.
For decades conservationists have tried to revive the ocelot population, creating wildlife corridors for the nocturnal cats to navigate the road network and reintroducing the critically endangered species to Texan ranchlands. Their efforts may be in vain.
(. . .)
'The federal government was supportive because the ocelot was on the endangered species list and is a charismatic animal. It’s a beautiful cat. It’s not like trying to save a slug or an endangered worm,' he says.
The Trump administration apparently does not see it that way.
(. . .)
There has already been environmental damage caused by the deafening sounds and vibrations, according to campaigners, who accuse SpaceX’s rockets of obliterating the nests of endangered bird species like the piping plover and red knot.
Now, Musk has been given permission by the Trump administration to annex 715 acres of federally-owned land in the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge in exchange for 683 acres of private land about 20 miles north.
The US Fish and Wildlife Service, part of the Department of the Interior, agreed to the exchange earlier this year. The tech titan has become a vocal figure campaigning for Republicans in Texas’s competitive midterm elections, and there are reports that the state’s governor could cede further territory to Musk from nearby Boca Chica state park."

"How Trump is gearing up to claim that the midterms were rigged
As November 3 approaches, the outlook is not too rosy for the Republicans. The president’s critics say he is poised to question the results.
(. . .)
Trump’s DoJ has accused four Democrat-run states of allowing more than 250,000 non-citizens to vote, based on outdated records, as the states have refused to hand over their voter rolls for inspection. Some of Trump’s allies in the Maga movement have encouraged him to declare a national emergency or even martial law over alleged election fraud.
Trump has failed to pass two key changes to electoral law this year, which he said were needed to stop 'rampant' voter fraud and 'rigged' elections.
In March, Trump signed an executive order to create a federal list of eligible voters for the postal service to refer to exclusively, a measure later struck down by the Supreme Court.
Trump also failed to pass the 'Save America Act', legislation that would have required voters to show a form of identification and prove their citizenship. Republican senators refused to use the most extreme procedural options to pass the bill despite the president’s demand.
These failures have led to Maga Republicans urging Trump to take drastic measures in November. Peter Ticktin, a childhood friend of Trump, visited him in the White House in June. Ticktin said in a call with activists in September that there 'would have to be martial law' in the event of 'another rigged election', according to the Axios news site.
Tina Peters, another prominent Maga activist who met Trump earlier this month, told the same call that all paper ballots would need to be recounted by hand to prevent the interference of voting machines.
Asked by Time magazine this month whether he could declare a national emergency related to the midterms, which could give federal agencies far greater power to count ballots, Trump said: 'I don’t rule anything out or in.'"

"As Trump’s Popularity Plunges, FCC Head Threatens Networks That Broadcast ‘Fake Polls’
'Broadcasters are prohibited by the terms of their federal licenses from engaging in News Distortion or promoting Broadcast Hoaxes.'
FCC Chairman Brendan Carr warned broadcasters in a tweet Wednesday that they shouldn’t be distributing so-called 'fake polls', a common refrain from President Donald Trump. Carr, who has threatened TV broadcasters in the past, wrote that they now have the opportunity to provide 'additional context and information,' suggesting that his agency may punish any network that steps out of line by airing polls the President doesn’t like.
'During this election season, there has been a significant surge in entirely Fake Polls and Suppression Polls designed to do nothing more than interfere with the regular functioning of the electoral process and alter the normal patterns of voter turnout and enthusiasm,' wrote Carr.
It’s unclear what Carr is referring to specifically, but President Trump has frequently complained about polls that fail to show him enjoying overwhelming public support.
In reality, Trump has been shown to be incredibly unpopular across a wide variety of polls during the past year, driven largely by the fact that inflation has surged while wages are flat. Trump has slapped countless goods with tariffs, sending prices higher, and started a war against Iran on Feb. 28 that has also driven inflation, especially for food and fuel.
Carr continued his tweet by insisting that 'many journalists and broadcasters' have been sharing information from supposedly fake polls, 'without regard to basic journalistic ethics and without informing the public that those Polls lack a scientific, accurate, or even real basis.'
President Trump’s approval rating currently sits at just 31%, according to Reuters. A year ago, the Reuters poll had him at 42%. According to a new poll released Wednesday by the New York Times and Siena University, Trump’s approval rating is 36%. The same poll a year ago was 43%.
Carr warned that broadcasters are 'prohibited by the terms of their federal licenses from engaging in News Distortion or promoting Broadcast Hoaxes,' though he offered no specific examples of broadcasters engaging in either practice. The FCC regulates TV stations that broadcast on the free airwaves but doesn’t have the same oversight when it comes to cable TV.
Trump has previously said that any TV network that criticizes him should lose its license. And while no station has lost its license so far, Trump has been successful in pressuring some networks to push out certain on-air personalities like Stephen Colbert. Trump tried to do the same with Jimmy Kimmel but failed to ultimately oust him from ABC following popular backlash and a boycott.
Broadcasters are advised to avoid engaging in News Distortions or running Broadcast Hoaxes by airing Polls that would violate their regulatory obligations,' wrote Carr.
The FCC chairman finished his tweet with a thinly veiled threat: 'If broadcasters believe they should provide their viewers with additional context and information about Polls they have covered, they can now take those actions consistent with FCC regulations.'
Carr has spoken at campaign rallies for Republican candidates in the lead-up to the midterms, something that opponents say is a violation of the Hatch Act. Two groups, Democracy Defenders Fund and Reporters Without Borders, recently filed a Hatch Act complaint over Carr’s speech at a rally for Sen. Dan Sullivan of Alaska earlier this month."
