Ed.’s note: What very few people have noticed is that Jared Kushner brought fellow Harvard graduate and protégé Avi (Avraham) Berkowitz directly into the White House as Kushner’s “right-hand man.” How is it that a Harvard graduate can go from Harvard directly into the White House? This is petty astonishing when you stop and think about this: both Kushner and Berkowitz are Jewish, they knew each other at Harvard which is pretty much a Jewish-controlled institution (Harvard has the largest endowment of any university known at around $36 billion), both are “pro-Israel”, “pro-racism” and “pro-Islamophobia” while both are directing and guiding Trump’s foreign policy towards Israel and Palestine. Note too that Berkowitz acts in accordance with his religious beliefs (see Religion As a Weapon of War) concerning Israel. Continue reading “Trump’s “Deal Of The Century” is a Hoax: Experts”

The US has barred American pilots and low flying planes from going into Venezuela indefinitely following opposition leader Juan Guaido’s failed coup, citing “increasing political instability and tensions.”

The Federal Aviation Administration has issued an “international security” notice barring all US pilots and US-registered aircraft from flying lower than 26,000ft (about 5 miles) over Venezuela, claiming the ongoing struggle between the US-backed opposition and President Nicolas Maduro’s government creates an “inadvertent risk to flight operations.” While it’s unclear how the situation in the air has changed, the order applies indefinitely going forward, “until further advised.”   Continue reading “US bars American pilots and low-flying planes from Venezuelan airspace”

Cuba’s government-run Radio Reloj website published a commentary Monday referring to American National Security Advisor John Bolton as a “warlock” and “neo-Nazi” for his opposition to the communist Castro regime.

The column, titled “John Bolton: Sinister Godfather of Helms-Burton,” appeared to be an attempt at a biographical feature in the context of the Trump administration allowing lawsuits against corporations that profit from property stolen from Americans during the Cuban Revolution. Americans have a right to sue over these properties as a product of the 1996 Libertad Act, known commonly as the Helms-Burton bill for its authors. Donald Trump is the first president not to bar Americans from exercising this right since the law passed over two decades ago.  Continue reading “Cuban News Agency: John Bolton a ‘Warlock,’ ‘Neo-Nazi of the Purest Strain’”
