The GRU hacked into Jared Kushner’s iPhone. Dutch military intelligence (MIVD) then recruited a GRU spy who gave them access to the hacked phone. What MIVD discovered was that Kushner had access to two bank accounts –one Azerbaijani, the other Israeli –where Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Emirati ruler Mohammed bin Zayed deposited money. It sounds like a slightly far-fetched episode of “Slow Horses,” but it’s real. And it proves just how eye-poppingly corrupt this administration was and continues to be as its “special envoy” decides the fate of tens of millions in Europe in the Middle East. Simply incredible reporting by Matthew Cole, drawn from his new book on Kushner. vanityfair.com/story/jared-k…

A new book alleges that Dutch intelligence hacked Jared Kushner’s phone and watched him access a Dubai bank account holding hundreds of millions of dollars that came from a bank in Azerbaijan.
The claim comes from an excerpt of Princes and Thieves, a book by investigative journalist Matthew Cole about Kushner and UAE President Mohamed bin Zayed.
Cole says a source he considered reliable told him in spring 2020 that Kushner appeared to transfer large sums from the account to other people, including a warlord, a mercenary and a former hit man.
The excerpt’s headline says the transfers totaled more than $700 million and that the bank accounts linked Trump’s son-in-law and former senior adviser to Israel, the UAE and Saudi Arabia.

Le 22 octobre 1962, Kennedy a fait porter à De Gaulle les photos des missiles soviétiques à Cuba. De Gaulle a refusé de les regarder.
La parole du président américain lui suffisait, raconte son biographe Jean Lacouture. Le soir même, Kennedy révélait la crise au monde.
Le 14 octobre, un avion espion américain photographie des rampes de lancement à Cuba. L’île est à moins de 150 kilomètres de la Floride.
Kennedy décide d’agir. Avant de parler, il envoie un émissaire prévenir les alliés européens.
C’est Dean Acheson, ancien secrétaire d’État, l’équivalent du ministre des Affaires étrangères.
Le 22 octobre, à 17 heures, il est reçu à l’Élysée.
De Gaulle a compris. On ne vient pas le consulter, on vient l’informer.
La décision est déjà prise.
Il le remercie quand même. Puis il donne sa réponse.
Si les Soviétiques font pression sur Berlin, la France agira « en accord » avec les États-Unis.
Un expert de la CIA lui présente ensuite les photos.
À la télévision, Kennedy annonce les missiles au monde. Il décrète un blocus naval de Cuba, qu’il appelle une « quarantaine ».
En France, il est minuit.
Pendant six jours, le monde frôle la guerre nucléaire.
Le 28 octobre, le dirigeant soviétique Nikita Khrouchtchev accepte de retirer ses missiles.
Quatre ans plus tard, en 1966, la France quitte le commandement intégré de l’OTAN.

Winston Churchill is photographed being carried following his near-fatal car accident on Fifth Avenue in New York City in December 1931…
On December 13, 1931, Winston Churchill was visiting New York City on a lecture tour. While crossing Fifth Avenue near 76th Street, he instinctively looked right (the habit from Britain, where traffic drives on the left) instead of left. He stepped into the path of an oncoming car driven by an unemployed mechanic named Edward F. Cantasano, which struck him and left him with a deep scalp wound, two cracked ribs, a fractured nose, a sprained shoulder, and severe shock.
Churchill was hospitalized at Lenox Hill Hospital and later recuperated at a nursing home before finishing his tour. He famously took full responsibility for the accident and later met the driver with no ill will. Worried the young driver might struggle to find work, Churchill later invited him for tea and gave him a signed copy of one of his books. During his recovery, his doctor prescribed him a minimum daily amount of alcoholic spirits (250 cc), effectively giving him legal access to alcohol during U.S. Prohibition
There was one more problem. The US was in the middle of Prohibition, and Churchill was not about to give up drinking. His doctor wrote him a note saying his recovery “necessitates the use of alcoholic spirits especially at meal times,” with a minimum of 250 cubic centimeters.
Churchill went on to write about the crash for a British newspaper and was well paid for it. Less than ten years later, the man who nearly died crossing a New York street became Britain’s prime minister during World War II.
