Is Jared Kushner a Paid Protester? Because It Turns Out He’s Gotten a Bunch of Money From George Soros.
May 02, 2017
Billionaire investor and liberal donor George Soros is the subject of many discredited right-wing conspiracy theories—so many that debunking site Snopes.com has an entire wing of Soros articles. He was pictured prominently alongside two other Jewish finance figures (Janet Yellen and Lloyd Blankfein) in a eyebrow-raising Trump campaign ad about the “global special interests” who have “robbed our working class” and “stripped our country of its wealth.” He’s been the subject of numerous conspiratorial tweets by Trump associates, ranging from White House social media director Dan Scavino to onetime 2016 campaign operative Roger Stone to Nazi-affiliated national security goon Sebastian Gorka to chief of staff Reince Priebus to Trump scion Donald Trump Jr.

(See here for more information about that wildly misleading claim.)
Soros is, in particular, widely blamed on the right for having allegedly paid anti-Trump protesters to fill marches and town halls since inauguration—a theory the president himself has tweeted about, though he didn’t use Soros’ name. And while there is, to put it midlly, not a significant amount of evidence that anti-Trump protesters are paid for their time by “globalist” bankers, it does turn out that one thing that George Soros has definitely bankrolled is a company founded by Trump’s son-in-law and top adviser Jared Kushner. From the Wall Street Journal:
Mr. Kushner co-founded Cadre in 2014 with his brother Joshua and Ryan Williams, a 29-year-old friend and former employee of Kushner Cos., the family-controlled business that Mr. Kushner ran until recently. Cadre markets properties to prospective investors, who can put their money into specific buildings or into an investment fund run by Cadre, which collects fees on each deal.
To get off the ground, Cadre turned to a Goldman Sachs fund and a number of high-profile investors … Cadre also secured a $250 million line of credit from the family office of George Soros, a top Democratic donor whom Mr. Trump criticized during his presidential campaign, the people close to the company said. Mr. Soros’s family office is also an investor in Cadre.
So, from Soros’ perspective, America will either be made great again by his business partners in the Trump administration, enriching him in the process, or it will be destroyed in a gratifying orgy of violence initiated by his paid street thugs. It’s a win-win situation!

FM Zarif: US not JCPOA participant anymore, can’t return Iran sanctions on 9/20
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif says despite recent remarks by the US secretary of state, Washington cannot re-impose the UN sanctions on Tehran on September 20 which is one month after the US demanded activation of a sanctions snapback mechanism inside the Iran nuclear deal because the US is not a party to the agreement anymore.
Mike Pompeo said on Wednesday that the US would return to the UN to have the sanctions re-imposed on Iran next week.
The US would also do all it needed to make sure those sanctions are enforced, Pompeo said at a press conference in Washington with British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab.
On August 20, Pompeo had formally notified the United Nations of Washington’s demand for all the UN Security Council sanctions on Iran to be restored, citing what he claimed to be Iranian violations of the nuclear deal. Tehran clinched the deal, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), with six world powers, including the US, in 2015, but Washington left the agreement under President Donald Trump three years later.
In reaction to the notification that was being handed to the UN Secretariat by Pompeo himself, the remaining signatories to the deal, however, maintained that Washington could not initiate the mechanism because it had left the accord.

The full Moon for September 2020 is the Full Corn Moon! (This year, the Harvest Moon will be in October instead.) Learn how the Corn Moon got its name—plus, see Moon phase dates, Best Days by the Moon, folklore, and more!
When to See the Full Moon in September 2020
This year, start looking for September’s full Corn Moon just after sunset on Tuesday, September 1, as it rises high and reaches its peak illumination at 1:23 A.M. Eastern Time on Wednesday, September 2.
Not a Harvest Moon This Year
Expecting the Harvest Moon this month? You’re not alone!
The full Moon that happens nearest to the autumnal equinox (September 22 or 23) always takes on the name “Harvest Moon” instead of a traditional name—a rule that often places the Harvest Moon in the month of September. However, when September’s full Moon occurs early in the month, the full Moon of early October lands nearest to the autumnal equinox and therefore takes on the Harvest Moon title instead.
That’s the case in 2020, when October will experience two full Moons: one on October 1 (the Harvest Moon) and the other on the 31st (the Hunter’s Moon and a Blue Moon, too)! Learn more about the Harvest Moon.
Why Is It Called the Corn Moon?
Historically, some Native Americans gave a name to each month’s full Moon, naming it in relation to a natural event or sign of the season. This aided them in tracking the progression of the year. Different peoples had different names, reflecting the areas where they lived.
One such name for the September full Moon was the Full Corn Moon because it traditionally corresponded with the time of harvesting corn in what is now the northeastern United States. It was also called the Barley Moon, as this is the time to harvest and thresh ripened barley.
Other full Moon names for this month include:
“Moon When the Plums Are Scarlet” by the Lakota Sioux.
“Moon When the Deer Paw the Earth” by the Omaha.
“Moon When the Calves Grow Hair” by the Sioux.
Where Do Full Moons Names Come From?
The tradition of naming Moons is rich in history. Here at The Old Farmer’s Almanac, we have long honored the Native American full Moon names and the folklore of those who came before us. We follow the full Moon names that were used during Native American and Colonial times to help track the seasons—usually by the Algonquin people who were prominent along the Atlantic Coast and into the interior along the St. Lawrence River and around the Great Lakes.
Best Days in September 2020
Below are the best days for activities, based on the Moon’s sign and phase in September.
For Harvesting:
Aboveground crops: 17, 24, 25
Belowground crops: 6, 7, 8
For Canning and Pickling:
11, 12
For Fishing:
September 17–October 1

Biden: Antisemitism in Charlottesville compelled me to run for president
“One of the things that got me involved in this race.. was when those folks came out of the fields down in Charlottesville chanting,” Biden recalled.
Democratic Presidential candidate Joe Biden told Jewish voters that the 2017 white supremacist rally in Charlottesville was one of the moments that compelled him to make a run for the White House so he could help heal the nation.
“I had not planned on running,” Biden said a virtual campaign event in advance of the Jewish New Year.
“One of the things that got me involved in this race.. was when those folks came out of the fields down in Charlottesville chanting,” Biden recalled.
“They were carrying torches, their veins bulging” and they were “chanting the same antisemitic bile that was heard in the streets of Germany in the 1930s,” said Biden.
He described the Nazi flags and the white supremacists in the violence rally, during which one of the protesters against the rally, Heather Hayes, 32, was killed.
In response US President Donald Trump said of the event, ‘there are very fine people on both sides,’" Biden recalled.
“That is not who we are,” he added.
“Together we can stamp out bigotry and antisemitism,” said Biden. He pledged to pursue peace and in the world and remain a “steadfast ally of Israel.”
As a child he learned from his father that “silence is complicity" and that one had to “step up and step out.”
To that end, Biden said, he had taken his children and grandchildren to visit concentration camps in Europe so they could view first hand the consequence of inaction.
In his brief speech that lasted less than ten minutes, he linked the internal spiritual questions of the Jewish holiday, with the national dilemmas that face the United States.
"These are the days of awe that give us the chance to restart and speak up,” to “ask ourselves the most important questions, question about what kind of people we wish to be,” he said.
“Both of our faiths, yours and mine, instruct us that we can’t ignore what is happening around us,” Biden said. He listed the issues: “a deadly pandemic, a devastating economic crisis, a moral reckoning on racial justice” and "declining faith in a bright American future.”

Afghan Air Force Received Four Warplanes From U.S.
On September 17, the U.S. transferred four A-29 Super Tocano warplanes to the Afghan Air Force (AAF) during a ceremony in the Afghan capital, Kabul.
The ceremony was attended by Afghanstan’s Minister of Defense Asadullah Khalid as well as senior officers of the AAF and the NATO’s Resolute Support Mission.
“As we receive these planes, they are a message that NATO is committed to the Afghan Forces,” said defense minister Asadullah Khalid. “During these important times this a good example of their continued cooperation, and shows this will continue until the defeat of terrorism in the country and the region.”
“NATO’s objective in Afghanistan has always been to deny safe havens for international terrorism,” said Lt. Gen. John Deedrick, commander of NATO’s Combined Security Transition Command-Afghanistan. “The best way to do this is to generate competent, trained and professional Afghan security forces which can maintain security independently. As we work toward peace, the NATO-led Resolute Support Mission continues to work closely with all branches of the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces.”
The U.S. has supplied the AAF with 18 A-29s warplanes since 2016. The supply of six additional warplanes is scheduled in February of 2021.

The Department of Defense ordered 26 A-29s for the AAF from the U.S.-based Sierra Nevada Corporation, SNC, and its partner Brazilian Embraer Defense and Security in a $1.808 billion contract.
The A-29 Super Tocano that is being used by the AAF as a counter-insurgency aircraft is easy to fly and to maintain. It is also considered to be one of the cheapest warplanes to operate. Afghan A-29s are armed with Paveway laser-guided bombs, which enable them to carry out pinpoint airstrikes.
