Ivanka likes it when people ‘swing for things,’ as she puts it. Well, Ivanka and Jared Kushner swung for Sazan, an Albanian island. … As in the story of Narcissus in Greek mythology, we have here malignant narcissism, cruelty, as well as a body of water. But it’s all terribly pretty, you understand …

Excerpt:

HOLISTIC BEAUTY, natural and built, a place where “the architecture” is “fully integrated” into the landscape: This is something “real estate developer”-cum-explorer Ivanka Trump knows all about.

Or, so Mrs. Kushner tells us, in a misty promotional production, in which viewers are tutored about the person, Narcissus herself, and the new “developments” she is pursuing, personal and material. A friendly podcast serves as Barbie Trump’s vanity press. Its title: “Ivanka Trump on Building an Authentic Life.

As in the story of Narcissus in Greek mythology, we have here malignant narcissism, cruelty, as well as a body of water. But it’s all terribly pretty, you understand.

Ivanka’s plot (as in scheme) is in the same vein as other assets and investment holdings in the Trump-Kushner crime family’s real-estate portfolio, in which Exhibit One is Gaza.

Late in January of 2026, husband Jared Kushner, a criminally acquisitive, empty husk of a man in his own right, presented a slide show in Davos even more garishly hideous than father-in-law’s earlier iteration of the production dubbed the Gaza Plan. The milieu was as ugly as any Trump family venture, or gathering, or trashy cotton-candy colored “couture.”

Kushner’s Master Slave Plan for Gaza—a cover for genocide, much as is the family’s Board of Peace he oversees—was presented before some of the world’s wealthiest men, all parading their greed for the property of the poorest, most-imperiled people in the world, the Palestinians.

Barbie’s sepia-tinted podcast presentation of the plans for the uninhabited Sazan Island, off the coast of Albania, involve conquest and usurpation, but of a better variety.

Like south Lebanon, currently being pulverized by the terrorist state, Israel, which the couple canonizes and runs cover for—Gaza before the Holocaust was quite beautiful, certainly unique. It was a quaint community with a character and a history, some of it ancient. All of it well reflected in its public spaces. Like south Lebanon, Gaza had nothing of the vulgar gilt of the Trump White House and ballroom, or of Ivanka’s many darling, dinky “little” pads.

As to the kitschy interior of the mystery “friend’s boat”: It relates to the “authentic” Gaza or South Lebanon as a centuries-old church relates to a methodist, big-tent revival pavilion. “Authentic” is another adjective Barbie Trump has appropriated to telegraph her essence.

Did I not dilate on Ivanka’s friend’s “boat”? My bad. Back to the more material aspects of the first daughter’s otherworldly quest:

Nat Rothchild’s superyacht, “Planet Nine,” is obscenely lavish—almost long enough for a 100-meter dash, it has space for two, eight-seater, explorer helicopters onboard, a helipad, a “surround cinema,” spas, desalination facility (the kind bosom buddies of the Kushners destroyed in Gaza), elevator to get you to all 5 levels, a “3,000-square-foot owner’s apartment,” and respectable ice classification.

The Kushners were sailing on this “friend’s boat,” as Mrs. Kushner relayed,   when—Lo!—the acquisitive habit overpowered their conjugal happiness. Embarrassing.

Overcome—and fresh from pillage and rapine in Gaza—the insatiable lovebirds hit on a way to keep their urges in check. First order of business was to cool off. Unlike Narcissus, the two did not come to harm. They allegedly jumped off “the boat,” and proceeded to swim to an Albanian Island that beckoned in the offing. …

“JD Vance, VP in the Trump regime, is a political production, not a real person, a production of the worst pedigree. Vance is a creation of a tech billionaire PAC, a ‘tech-aligned super political action committee’—people whose death-industries move humanity further away from community, from the locality; from honest industry, real knowledge and production and into a consumer, bubble-driven technocracy, anchored in illiteracy, gambling, speculation, buying and selling intangible derivative products….”

Excerpt:

We have a “good negotiating team, the best,” blathered Trump, with respect to the individuals he dispatched to the Pakistani capital of Islamabad, April 10, to dictate the terms of surrender to the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Team Trump was led by Israel firsters and Israeli assets like Jared Kushner, Steve Witkoaff (sic), and Vice President JD Vance, whose eyeliner only enhances the “degeneracy of manners and morals” he embodies and represents.

I’ll make this very simple. Against the Islamic Republic, victim of the US-Israel’s untrammeled criminality, the president’s men have committed the most egregious crime, the crime of aggression, categorized as such in international customary law—and in all systems of law, codified and uncodified.

By violating Iran’s territorial sovereignty and denying that country’s riparian rights in the waterways that abut its territory—by strafing Iranian cities, targeting life-sustaining infrastructure and industries; hospitals, healers and first responders.; historic sites and schools; wantonly murdering thousands of Iranian people, assassinating esteemed political and scientific leaders—Trump has demonstrated that he has assimilated Israel’s military doctrines. The president of the United States of America has Israelized the US Military and is ‘going Amalek’ on the Jewish State’s designated enemies.

The “accumulated evil,” another legal term invoked in international customary law with respect to the “supreme crimeof unprovoked aggression—this rot is evident in all Trump’s dealings and deeds. It is etched on his decaying Dorian Gray like countenance and is manifest in what is disgorged from the American president’s mouth.

By extension, it was quite clear what tone Trump’s team of choice would set for any and all “negotiation” proceedings with Iran.

Once the talks in Islamabad predictably collapsed, it transpired that Vance had likely been holding all information in reserve for Bibi Netanyahu’s edifications and approval.

Confirmed Netanyahu: “I spoke yesterday with Vice President J.D. Vance. He called me from his plane on his way back from Islamabad. He reported to me in detail, as this administration does every day, about the development of the negotiations.”

One wonders why Iran’s foreign minister, Seyed Abbas Araghchi, would sit down at the negotiating table with this coterie. After all, “in a phone call with his German counterpart, … Araghchi had proclaimed that Iran entered the failed April 10/12 talks in Islamabad with full distrust because of the US repeated breaches and betrayals of diplomacy.”

Foreign Minister Araghchi is certainly a class act. Team Trump/Netanyahu are class enemies. To wit, during the farcical negotiations, the US sneakily attempted to breach the Strait of Hurmuz, over which Iran has natural, riparian property rights. Simultaneously, the Washington Post ran an article by Marc Thiessen, a mediocre neoconservative, calling for the assassination of the Iranian negotiators if they refuse to submit.

Was it, then, prudent for Iran’s finest to grace with their presence such proven bad-faith actors? More important still, why trust Israel’s proxies—the detritus of humanity, human waste by any other name—with your life, Mr. Araghchi? Had not Mr. Araghchi’s predecessor, former Iranian foreign minister Kamal Kharazi and his wife, been murdered in “a targeted United States-Israeli strike on their Tehran home”? Indeed. So, too, is the supreme leader’s successor, Mojtaba Hosseini Khamenei, said to be languishing after wounds inflicted on him by this merged criminal cabal.

Just how duplicitous and vicious a people are we and our Israeli overlords?

A man is only as good as his word. Knowing that America’s word is shit, the Pakistan Air Force is purported to have “deployed an aerial shield” to escort the Iranian delegation, led by Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf,” safely into Pakistani airspace. On departure, their Pakistani hosts scrambled “advanced fighter jets” to protect the Iranians (to whom they had given a rock-star welcome).

True, one negotiates with foes, not with friends. Known, too, is the bravery and self-sacrifice of the Iranians and their leaders. Hours before his murder by Murder Inc., the equally impressive late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei had stated that, as long as 90 million Iranians are without bomb-sheltering bunkers, so too will he, their spiritual leader, remain above ground, outside the shelter. He did. He died.

Iranians and their leaders seem to have so much more love and loyalty in them than their oppressors. But this does not mean you sacrifice your finest to Israel’s American idolaters. Trump and team are capable of surprising calculated, calibrated evil. Jared Kushner, in particular.

Behind Kushner’s sylphlike appearance is a boa constrictor anticipating its next meal. …

… Parenthetically, I’ll say that I’m sick of Gaza being reduced to no more than an ‘open-air concentration camp.’ Legally, this is true. But Gaza before the Holocaust was quite beautiful, certainly unique. It was a quaint community with a character and a history, some of it ancient. All of it well reflected in its public spaces. Gaza had nothing of the vulgar gilt of a Trump tower. To compare Gaza of yore to the Gaza dreamt up in the Kushner consortium’s Master Slave Plan for the Strip is like comparing a centuries-old church with the heavily adorned Trump White House and White House ballroom. …

ESSAY (March 23, 2026): Remembering Qasem Soleimani, Revolutionary Guards General Whose 2020 Murder Joe Kent Praises

If we accept U.S. state aggression based on erroneous prior-restraint reasoning—then aggress we can ad absurdum. ~ilana (2020)

LATEST ESSAY is “Remembering Qasem Soleimani, Revolutionary Guards General Whose 2020 Murder Joe Kent Praises.” Read it at The Unz Review, home to radical dissidents from day one, and LewRockwell.com

‘In your first administration, you understood better than any modern President how to decisively apply military power without getting us drawn into never-ending wars. You demonstrated this by killing Qasam Solamani and by defeating ISIS. ~National Counterterrorism Center Director Joseph Kent (2026)

If we accept U.S. state aggression based on erroneous prior-restraint reasoning—then aggress we can ad absurdum. ~ilana (2020)

EXCERPT:

… The debate is only ever over whether the U.S. government should or shouldn’t act on its divine rights as transnational judge, jury and executioner, never over what’s right and what’s wrong.

Stateside, the only inquiry permissible is a cost-benefit calculus. Will the assassination of Soleimani, a military official of a sovereign state, and an avid and effective slayer of Islamic State terrorists—pay strategic dividends for America in the long run?

This is crass pragmatism bereft of principle. It’s on display everywhere, surfacing on BBC News, where a female analyst, an American, was deploying the childish “bad man” meme to outline America’s Disneyfied foreign policy.

This angels-and-demons production always starts with the prototypical evil dictator who was alleged to be messing with his noble people, until the avenging, angelic empire sent a drone to the rescue.

Again, even Tucker, whose antiwar credentials in recent years have been impeccable, had conceded that this Soleimani guy probably needed killing, which is the same thing Iraqis old enough to remember America’s destruction of Iraq, circa 2003, would say about President George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Don Rumsfeld and Ms. Rice.

So, who’s right? Or, is blind patriotism predicated on accepting that it is up to the U.S. government and its ruling elites to determine who lives and who dies around the world?

“Soleimani deserved to die,” an atavistic bit of jingoism made by Republicans and Democrats alike on Fox News and on CNN—it holds true only if you believe that the U.S. government is the keeper of the flame of an immutably just, universal code of law, which it is deputized to uphold, wherever it takes-up residence.

Such a chauvinistic impulse is true only if you believe that the U.S. government’s might gives it the right to be universal judge, jury and executioner, deciding who may live and who must die the world over. ….”
