L.A. loses Los Angeles Times to billionaire

Editors, Wisdom Quarterly; Associated Press (ap.org)

Pedestrians look at news photos posted outside the LA Times building in DTLA. The paper is reporting its parent company is in talks to be sold to local billionaire physician Patrick Soon-Shiong. The sale is being negotiated by Tronc Inc. (formerly Tribune Publishing) for $500 million. Chicago-based Tronc owns 10 U.S. newspapers (AP).

We still have the Pasadena Weekly, maybe OC

First it was the loss of our beloved LA Weekly (though many still haven't noticed) to a consortium of mysterious pockets, deep pockets who fired nearly everyone and kept the shell an goodwill (the intangible characteristics of a business like its name and reputation).

Now a Big Pharma billionaire has bought the struggling Los Angeles Times, not to save it but to put the final nail in its coffin. We can expect more drug ads and even less real news, with more bias and spin than McClatchey could ever give it.

Sale of LA Times to billionaire negotiated

LOS ANGELES, California - The owner of the Los Angeles Times is in talks [now completed] to sell the newspaper to a billionaire medical entrepreneur.

Who controls the media controls the money.

Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, a major shareholder of parent company Tronc Inc. [formerly Tribune Publishing], would pay $500 million for the newspaper and the San Diego Union-Tribune, a person with knowledge of the deal told the Associated Press (ap.org) on Tuesday [Feb. 6, 2018] after word of the sale was first reported by The Washington Post and LA Times.

The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the sale had not yet been finalized, said the deal was coming together quickly, but cautioned it could still fall apart [but it didn't]. The sale would come amid turmoil at the LA Times, which has suffered through years of cutbacks and a revolving door of leadership in top positions. More

Buddha, Jesus Christ, and ancient Egyptians were Ukrainians

[The] Buddha, who is widely worshiped in Asia, was of direct relevance to Ukraine, the official publication of the country’s parliament wrote.

Jesus Christ actually lived 3,000 years before his canonical birth and spoke the Coptic language, which is a close language to the ancestors of contemporary Ukrainians...

“It is quite possible that [the] Buddha belonged to the Scythian nation of Budins [who] lived on the territory of ancient Ukraine during the first or the second millennium B.C.

Deposed Ukrainian [princess] prime minister

“The name of the nation is still preserved in the names of Ukraine’s contemporary settlements -- Seredina-Buda, Buda, and some others,” the newspaper of Ukraine’s Supreme Rada wrote.

“Everything is clear from the ethnic point of view. [The] Buddha was a Scythian Arian [Aryan in Buddhism means "noble one," but is thought to derive from the word for Iran, people from the northwest implicated in ancient "Aryan Invasion" theories about the rise of the Indus River Valley and India], a member of the Budin tribe. The descendants of the tribe still live in the Sumsky and the Chernigov region of Ukraine, as well as on the neighboring lands of Belarus and Russia,” the newspaper said.

Buddhists far to the West and North
Dhr. Seven, Amber Larson, Wisdom Quarterly (COMMENTARY)

• In another part of Russia, Buddhist Siberia (aka "North Asia") -- which long ago began to follow Buddhism from Central Asia (Gandhara and Afghanistan) arriving on the Silk Road and Vajrayana Buddhism that reached it through Mongolia (when Tibet was the head of a Himalayan empire that brought Buddhism to Bangladesh, formerly "East India," on the southern side of the mountain range where the Ganges river ends, according to Ven. Karunananda, Ph.D. -- some place names reflect a more prominent Buddhist past:
• See Sakha Republic/Yakutia (like Saka, Sakka, Shakya), which is situated next to Magadan Oblast.
• The Magha of the Maga people (like Buddhist Magadha of India in standard histories and the more ancient Vedic "Magadha" Kingdom) is the capital city of Alania, a medieval kingdom in the Greater Caucasus.
• It is usual that emigrants name new cities after old ones in reverence of their history. This is all just teasing at loose and tantalizing threads in the tapestry of history, suggestions rather than any definitve proof.
• The Saka (Shakya) -- of formerly-Buddhist Tajikistan -- were a growing, itinerant, "wandering," spreading, shaman/shramana-favoring Scythian tribe of Iranian (Ariyan) origin
• The Buddha was from Afghanistan (ranajitpal.com), not Nepal's Terai region, as standard history claims, nor East India's Orissa (Odisha) as the government of Orissa attempts to promote.
• The "Great Tribe Footholds or Family-Clan Territories" (Maha Janapadas) do not place the Shakyans, who were the Buddha's family, in ancient "Greater India" (Maha Bharat)
• "Noble" (Aryan, Arya, Ariya) originally derived from the word "Iranian" when parts now listed as part of the "geopolitical Middle East" were still in Central Asia

Yay, the Buddha's cool and Ukrainian! (FEM)

The “sensationalist” article was written by Valery Bebik, a doctor of Political Sciences, a professor, deputy principal of Ukraine University, and the chairman of the board of the All-Ukrainian Association of Political Sciences.

Mr. Bebik published a number of his articles in the official newspaper of the Ukrainian Parliament before. He wrote his previous articles for the paper to “prove” the remarkable role of the Ukrainian civilization, which endowed the world with spiritual enlightenment, outstanding prophets, philosophers, and leaders.

In 2008-2009, the Ukrainian professor shared his amazing observations of ancient Egypt, ancient Greece, and the ethnic origin of Jesus Christ.

Hey, Obi, you don't tell me who to invade, and I won't tell you who to kill with your drones! Like with Libya, I said don't take out Kaddafi. - Hey, Vlad, relax! Don't make me sic McCain on ya. - You get that Munchkin out of Ukraine, you "lame duck," you would-be dictator. You and Merkel, stay out of my affairs! - Man, you crazy, Putty! I can't talk to you no mo'.

“The name of Egypt’s major temple, Het-ka-Ptah, sounds very much like Ukrainian words hata and ptaha (“house” and “bird”). The pictures on the Egyptian pyramids show that Egyptian queens were blonde women with blue eyes, just like many Ukrainian women. One should also pay attention to the fact that the trident, which is currently the minor national emblem of Ukraine, can often be seen there too,” the [social] “scientist” wrote.

“We have already outlined the facts that placed in question the official church version of the ethnic origin and the biblical dates of the life of Jesus Christ and the historical epoch, in which the basis of Christianity was formed.

It looks like Christ actually lived 3,000 years before his canonical birth and spoke the Coptic language, which is a close language to the ancestors of contemporary Ukrainians,” The Voice of Ukraine wrote. More

"Secret Space" from the Russian side (video)

LRC Lightworker Refugee Camp (2012indyinfo.com)
(UFOTVstudios) December, 2011

Narrated by Elliott Gould, "The Soyuz Conspiracy" includes never before seen footage.

The filmmakers discovered new evidence revealing a scandalous conspiracy surrounding the death of one of the old Soviet Union's most famous cosmonauts, Col. Vladimir Komarov.

When the new Soyuz rocket was launched into space on April 23, 1967, Komarov's spaceship faced catastrophic failures. It eventually lost power, and Komarov was killed on impact.

My Higher Self: Self Introspection
(Laura Tyco) It is very easy for humans to see lack in others, imbalances, imperfections. It remains difficult for humans to be impartial and objective. What lacks 99% of the time is seeing the world from within with an inner connection. We react to stimuli. Emotions are triggered, associations are set off, and we are brought from one state to another without consciousness...

The government was not about to admit failure on the 50th anniversary of the creation of the Soviet Union. Instead, it covered up the entire incident by saying that Komarov's mission was a complete success and explained his death by saying he was later killed in a bus crash.

Only Yuri Gagarin, Komarov's best friend, was strong enough to force the Soviet government to tell the truth about what really happened to Komarov.

"1984" Today (Amazon.com's Kindle)

(WQ) One of the often overlooked details about the visionary and fateful Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell (a classic must-read few seem to take seriously nowadays) is that at that time in the future (the year is not known), in that dystopia, all information is subject to constant revision: The main character (Winston Smith) works at the Ministry of Truth, overseen by an invasive, citizen-spying, totalitarian government known as "Big Brother." His full-time job is to retract, revise, and re-issue "reality" (Pravda-style) for official purposes. Facts are fabricated. History is altered. Inconvenient people are erased. Irony of ironies, Kindle (Amazon.com's new electronic-book distribution platform) is set to do the same thing as it proved today. Geekbrief TV reports.

"Amazon caused all kinds of controversy today when it took back books Kindle users had bought. The books in question were George Orwell's Animal Farm and 1984 from publisher MobileReference. Amazon later released a statement..." (GBTV Episode 597).

Did Ancient Egyptians use Helicopters and Jets?

Pravda

There is a scientific theory that says that Egyptians descended from Martians who had once visited this planet

It was even before Christ that Greeks took a keen interest in the culture and history of people living on the banks of the Nile River. In 1848, one of numerous archaeological expeditions working in Egypt discovered strange hieroglyphs at the height of about ten meters [30 ft] right above the entrance to the Seti Temple in Abydos. The walls were covered with the strange signs that greatly puzzled researchers. The only thing the researchers realized at once was that they had discovered some images of strange mechanisms that nobody ever saw before.

It is still unknown what exactly an artist living about 3,000 years ago engraved on the walls. The archaeological expedition carefully copied the mysterious signs on the temple walls, and the hieroglyphs gave rise to endless disputes and heated debates among Egyptologists.

As a result, a majority of Egyptologists arrived at a conclusion that there were just four strange objects drawn in different variations. Unfortunately, researchers of the 19th century failed to understand what ancient Egyptians actually drew on the temple walls. Like any sensation the mysterious Abydos hieroglyphs were absolutely forgotten some time later.

In about 150 years, the respectable Arab newspaper Al-Sharq Al-Awsat published several sensational photos taken in the Amon Ra Temple in Karnak. At that, the newspaper asked its readers whether they believed that ancient Egyptians knew about battle aviation. The question would have seriously puzzled readers under some different conditions. But the photos the newspaper published demonstrated the bas-reliefs of an ancient temple built under Seti I, who ruled 3,000 years ago.

And on the bas-reliefs an ancient artist engraved a battle helicopter with a distinct rotor and a tail unit. Nearby, the artist depicted several other aircrafts astonishingly resembling contemporary supersonic fighters and heavy strategic bombers!

After the sensational publication of the photos it became clear why Egyptologists of the 19th century could not tell what was depicted on the walls of the temple in Abydos. Indeed, the researchers did not know how helicopters and aircrafts look. More>>
