The world’s most powerful and wealthy movers and shakers are making the kind of moves that suggest something is up. Something big that they’re not talking about amid all the wars and distractions. They want us to focus on bread and circuses, like the embarrassing UFC fight scheduled to take place on the White House lawn. Trump now says he’d like to make the UFC arena he set up in front of the White House a permanent fixture, but I digress.

President Trump’s daughter and son in-law, Ivanka and Jared Kushner, recently admitted they’re developing an off-grid private island and that someone far wealthier than even them helped them buy the remote island off the coast of Albania.

In a recent podcast, Kushner spoke of the exchange he had with Nat Rothschild “after leaving government” in 2021, which is interesting because Kushner has never held an official position in the federal government. He has been dispatched by President Trump on diplomatic missions to end the Ukraine-Russia War and the Iran war, despite having no previous diplomatic experience. He has failed miserably in those assignments.

But qualifications don’t matter much when you have friends in high places, and Nat Rothschild is about as high on the power pole as it gets. He is part of the same Rothschild banking family that bailed Kushner’s father-in-law, Donald Trump, out of bankruptcy when his risky real estate ventures in Atlantic City, New Jersey’s, gambling playground flopped some 35 years ago. (You can read about Trump’s long-standing relationship with the Rothschild banking dynasty here.)

While he’s proven himself to be not very good at diplomacy, Kushner is very good at using his connections in the world of high finance to become a successful global real estate developer.

The International Business Times reports:

Jared Kushner has said that financier Nat Rothschild helped him identify a remote private island in the Mediterranean during a yacht trip, as the Special Envoy for Peace’s expanding overseas property interests face growing political backlash in Albania over a planned luxury resort development on Sazan Island.

Kushner said the idea came up during a European pleasure trip at sea. As he tells it, he was on a friend’s yacht, owned by Fifth Baron Nat Rothschild, son of the late Jacob Rothschild, when conversations about the project began. After Rothschild worked his magic, it led to meetings with highly placed Albanian government officials, including Prime Minister Edi Rama. It’s easy to get lucrative business deals done when you have a Rothschild in your phone’s contact list.

This is the same Rothschild family, by the way, whose members cavort with the likes of Hillary Clinton and Gavin Newsom. We have to get out of this left-right, Democrat-Republican mindset if we are ever going to separate truth from propaganda. Politicians are the puppets of much more powerful people, whose names are kept out of the corporate media and public spotlight.

Ivanka Trump, Jared’s wife, tells the same story with a slightly different twist in a podcast interview cited by Newsweek, saying she and Jared discovered the island “by chance” one day while enjoying a swim in the sea, but notice how she cleverly refers to the million-dollar yacht as a mere “boat.” Sounds so middle-class American, doesn’t it?

Speaking on the Founders podcast, Ivanka said they discovered the island by chance while on a boat trip, recalling: “We were on a friend’s boat, and we stopped for a swim…and we were just captivated.”

That initial fascination has evolved into a major project, with the couple now planning a large-scale resort backed by roughly $1.4 billion to $1.6 billion in investment from Kushner’s firm, Affinity Partners.

You can watch and listen to the whole sordid story of the Kushners in Albania in the video report below, but suffice it to say this billionaire couple are not exactly loved in Albania, where their real estate project is highly unpopular and has sparked daily street protests.


It’s nice to know that the Kushners will enjoy comfort and luxury on their remote island when the time comes to leave their home country. Perhaps they know that there’s a real chance that her daddy’s policies of invading one oil-rich country after another and slapping sanctions on one of the world’s biggest oil producers, Russia, while funding a proxy war against them could push Russia and its major ally, China, over a final red line at some point. Or, perhaps they know her daddy’s policies are so unpopular and about to get more unpopular, that living in the United States would no longer be the money-making party that it once was for the corrupt grifters and crony capitalists of the Epstein class.

Kushner’s business dealings also connect him to George Soros and a bunch of major banks. Watch below.


Whether it’s the remote Island off the coast of Albania, or a luxury estate in Abu Dhabi, the Kushners will have options when it comes time to flee the coop.
