The Trumps, The Kushners, and US Policy in The Middle East

[AGBF]

I would like to know what is actually going on behind the scenes with Saudi Arabia; The United Arab Emirates; and Qatar. Is that really too much to ask? I am not asking for peace in The Middle East or anything like that, after all! I am posting a link to an MSNBC story I saw tonight about Jared Kushner and a meeting he had with the Saudi Crown Prince who just consolidated his power with a somewhat bloody coup (I mean, people were tortured) in Saudi Arabia. There have been reports that the Saudi Crown Prince claims to have Jared Kushner "in his pocket".

Prior to Qatar denying the Kushner family a half billion dollar loan, the United States had a friendly policy towards Qatar (where we have a huge military base). After Qatar denied the loan, the United States backed a blockade of Qatar by the UAE and Saudi Arabia (its enemies). Now it is rumored that The UAE has been sending huge amounts of money into Trump's coffers and that this is being investigated by Robert Mueller. It is also rumored that it was The UAE and Saudi Arabia who ordered Rex Tillerson fired as Secretary of State, which is problematic, if true, because it means that foreign governments are directing US foreign policy.

It is difficult to separate the interests of the Trump and Kushner families from the interests of United States when neither the Trumps nor the Kushners will divest themselves of their businesses while running our foreign policy. Does anyone have any light to shed on this?

Hi,

I think this is startling news. It gets worse. Jared Kushner reads the Pres. daily briefings, top secret stuff. In those top secret briefings it had names of some members of the royal family who were opposed to the new Crown Prince who came to power in June of 2017. In Oct, Kushner spent time with the crown prince and exposed those names in the top secret info to him. In Nov. the Crown Prince rounded up and kidnapped the royals saying they had fleeced the Gov't and were corrupt. So, we helped a foreign Govt consolidate his power and torture the rich of the country. That's how the CP came to say he has Jared Kushner in his pocket.

When this occurred there was no outcry from the US. Among those kidnapped there is a business man, Prince Alweed who has often appeared on CNBC, which I watch often. He helped Citi group in its most dire period. I very much like him. So when I read that he was among the tortured I wrote to the Saudi Embassy pleading for his release and told them they were violating his human rights. I never expect a reply, it makes me feel better. I wrote three emails on his behalf and threw in the Palestinians, as I want to support both rich and poor for violation of human rights. At any rate they did release my guy, which I thanked them for.

Jared Kushner no longer can read the Pres briefings, but he did a bad thing. he gave out top secret info. and he caused royals to be kidnapped and tortured. Now I know who else to blame. Another idiot, Jared Kushner. I'm composing another e-mail, but I don't have it down. I want to excoriate the Saudis over Yemen as well. Oh, to fit everything in.
