# Gov / Politics
Why the Hell Isn’t Jared Kushner’s $2 Billion Saudi Payment a Big Scandal? The amount of wealth here isn’t what the Saudis are after, they are simply gambling on Trump becoming president again. “The prospect of a dictator using his deep pockets to wield influence at the highest levels of the U.S. political system should be cause for serious concern and targeted action. Not all attacks on American democracy will take the shape of violent insurrections—the corruption of the Saudi-Kushner deal is an attack on democracy, too.”

Google Maps Removes Blurring for Russia’s Military Sites: [Google has effectively announced itself to be a party to the Russia-Ukraine conflict on the Ukraine-NATO-EU-US side. Google is a state apparatus and an adjunct of the state, particularly the neocon state. It is effectively providing military intelligence to the enemies of Russia and it is controlling information about the conflict, essentially enforcing the dominant narrative about it. This is a supposedly private company that is helping to fight a proxy war against Russia.
