Literal underworld crime, Los Angeles


Underground crime ring: Stolen cars in secret tunnels in LA County | FOX 11 LA
(FOX 11 Los AngelesWhittier Narrows, Los Angeles County, near Montebello - Sept. 4, 2025: FOX 11's Matthew Seedorff received a tip suggesting that criminals are storing stolen cars inside remote runnels in Los Angeles County. Where do stolen cars disappear to with LoJack and all of the new built-in GPS tracking devices? So this is where stolen cars go before they hit the "chop shops" and are sold for parts or shipped out of the country at the Port of Los Angeles in San Pedro to be sold on the world market by crime syndicates. Meanwhile, the LAPD and LASD and CHP all have their fingers up their nose not knowing anything and being too afraid to enter the tunnels to chase after the car thieves and criminals.

Cloud-seeding Texas floods: Cause?


How bad could a flash flood be?
Confirmed: CEO of weather modification company (Rainmaker) reveals cloud seeding operations were conducted in Texas two days before deadly flood. Oops

Perhaps this is not [to the level of] "Weather Warfare" [the U.S. secretly practices], but it's cloud-seeding nonetheless.

The CEO of a weather modification technology company has confirmed cloud seeding operations took place in Texas just two days before the deadly central Texas flood occurred.
NBC News reported that CEO Augustus Doricko of Rainmaker, a weather modification company, said planes had released silver iodide into the atmosphere in Texas two days prior to the fatal Texas Hill Country (Guadalupe River) floods that have claimed over 100 lives.

Now, what are we to believe? Doricko claims the cloud-seeding operations did not cause the flooding in Texas.

According to Doricko, Rainmaker flew a brief 20-minute cloud-seeding mission in southcentral Texas last Tuesday but suspended all operations that same day due to abnormally high moisture content in the air.

The two clouds seeded during the Tuesday flight would have dissipated after a few hours and would have had no effect [whatsoever] on the floods several days later, he added.

Cloud-seeding involves using chemicals, often particles of silver iodide [or other particulate matter as is used in chemtrail aerosol campaigns that feature barium, aluminum, red blood cells, and secret ingredients to amplify EMF and microwave signals from H.A.A.R.P.], to trigger the formation of ice crystals or droplets from water that’s already present in a cloud but not being efficiently turned into rain.

Though the technique has been studied for decades [refined by American war criminals during the US War on Vietnam to flood the jungle and root out Viet Cong soldiers with 50 or so inches of rain to inundate specified areas during war], it remains difficult to predict the additional rainfall that cloud-seeding operations can generate, with estimates ranging widely from 0% to 20%.

What’s clear is that the technique [so far admitted to] would not have been able to generate the record-breaking rainfall seen in Texas. So much rain fell that the Guadalupe River at Kerrville, one of the epicenters of the floods, rose some 26 feet (8 meters) in less than an hour overnight on Friday [while campers slept while celebrating the 4th of July weekend or attending Christian girls summer camp].

"Based on the meteorological evidence, the Texas floods were caused by a powerful natural weather system, with thunderstorms fed by very moist air from the warm Gulf of Mexico," said Andrew Charlton-Perez, professor of meteorology at the University of Reading in the UK.

In a post on X (Twitter), Doricko shared: "The last seeding mission prior to the July 4th event was during the early afternoon of July 2nd, when a brief cloud seeding mission was flown over the eastern portions of south-central Texas, and two clouds were seeded."

Further: "The clouds that were seeded on July 2nd dissipated over 24 hours prior to the developing storm complex that would produce the flooding rainfall."

Final thought: Rainmaker may not be at fault, but this is an interesting development, indeed. Source: Confirmed: CEO of Weather Modification Company Reveals Cloud Seeding Operations Were Conducted in Texas Two Days Before Deadly Flood – Def-Con News

Miracle survival in Texas floods (sutra)


Sutra: Not Being Swept Away
Kappa-manava-puccha: Kappa's Question, based on Ven. Thanissaro's translation
Birds eye view of a safe refuge from the flood of stormy ocean, a tropical island (craiyon.com)
.
[Kappa asked the Buddha this question:]
For one stranded in the middle of the water,
in the flood of great danger called rebirth,
overwhelmed by aging and death,
Tell me, dear sir,
and show me the safe island
so that this may not happen again.

[The Buddha replied:]
For one stranded in the middle of the water
in the flood of great danger called rebirth,
overwhelmed by aging [rebirth] and death,
I will tell you the island, Kappa.

Having nothing,
clinging to no thing:
That is the island,
there is no other.
That refuge is nirvana, I declare,
the complete elimination of [rebirth] aging and death.

Those knowing this, mindful,
fully awakened
present here and now,
no longer bound as Mara's* slaves,
no longer come under Mara's influence.
  • *Mara is the personification of Death, a literal being, an Asura (Titan) and high-born deva (being of light like Lucifer) in a Sensual Sphere heaven, often used figuratively to refer to four types of Mara.

SUTRA: Everything is swept away
Ratthapala Sutta (MN 82, PTS: M ii 54)
Maitreya Buddha arises as a Central Asian king
King Koravya sat down on a prepared seat. Sitting there, he said to [the Buddhist monk] Ven. Ratthapala, "There are situations where, having suffered the four kinds of loss, people shave off their hair, don saffron robes, and go forth from home life into the left-home life [of a monastic].

"What are the four? There is loss as a result of aging, loss as a result of sickness, loss of wealth, and loss of relatives...

"However, Ven. Ratthapala has suffered none of these. So what did he know, see, or hear that he was motivated to go forth from the home life into the left-home life?"

"Great king, there are four summaries of the Dhamma (the Teaching) stated by the Blessed One [the Buddha] who directly knows and sees, the Worthy One, who rightly awakened. Having known and seen and heard them, I set forth from the home life into the left-home life. What are these four?
  1. "'The world [8] is swept away and does not endure' -- this is the first summary of the Dhamma...
  2. "'The world is without shelter (permanent refuge) and without protector' -- this is the second...
  3. "'The world is [utterly impersonal] without owner. One has to pass on, leaving everything behind' -- this is the third...
  4. "'The world is insufficient, insatiable, a slave to craving' -- this is the fourth...
"These, great king, are the four summaries of the Dhamma stated by the Blessed One who directly knows and sees, the Worthy One, rightly awakened. Having known and seen and heard them, I set forth from the home life into the left-home life."

Sometimes the flash flood comes in the night.
"Ven. Ratthapala, you say, 'The world is swept away and does not endure.' How is the meaning of this statement to be understood?"

"Let me ask what you think, great king. When you were 20 or 25 years old — an expert elephant rider, expert horseman, expert charioteer, expert archer, expert swordsman — were you strong in arm and thigh, fit and seasoned for warfare?"

"Yes, Ven. Ratthapala... I was strong... It was as if I had supernormal power. I do not see anyone who was my equal in strength."

Guadalupe River (Texas) Wikipedia map
"What do you think, great king? Are you now as strong...?"

"Not at all, Ven. Ratthapala. Now I am a feeble old man, aged, advanced in years, having come to the last stage of life, 80 years old. Thinking, 'I will place my foot here,' I place it somewhere else."

"Referring to this, great king, the Blessed One who knows and sees, the Worthy One rightly awakened, said, 'The world is swept away and does not endure.'

"Having known and seen and heard this, I set forth from the home life into the left-home life."

"It is amazing, Ven. Ratthapala, it is astounding how well that has been said by the Blessed One who knows and sees, the Worthy One rightly awakened! 'The world is swept away and does not endure.' For the world really is swept away, Ven. Ratthapala, and does not endure. More

Dvejana Sutta: Two People (1)
Ven. Thanissaro (trans) edited by Dhr. Seven for Wisdom Quarterly

On one occasion the Blessed One was staying near the City of Savatthi in Jeta's Grove inside the multimillionaire's monastery.

Two Brahmins — feeble old men, aged, far advanced in years, having come to the last stage of life, 120 years old — went to the Blessed One, exchanged courteous greetings, sat respectfully to one side, and said:

"Master Gotama, we are Brahmins — feeble old men, aged, far advanced in years, having come to the last stage of life, 120 years old. We have done no wholesome deeds [accrued no merit, no profitable karma], no skillful deeds, no deeds that allay our fears. Teach us, Master Gotama, instruct us, Master Gotama, for our benefit and lasting happiness."

We're old kings. Right, Dad? - Shu up, Boy.
"Indeed, Brahmins, feeble old men, aged, far advanced in years, having come to the last stage of life, 120 years old, you have [accrued no merit because you have] done no wholesome deeds, no skillful deeds, no deeds that allay your fears. This world is swept away by aging, illness, and death.

"With the world [flooded and] swept away by aging, illness, and death, any restraint of body, speech, and mind practiced here will be one's shelter, safety, island, and refuge after death in the world beyond."

It is swept along, this life, with its next-to-nothing span.
For one swept on by aging, no shelters exist.
Keeping in sight this danger in death, do meritorious deeds that ripen in bliss.
Whoever here is restrained in body, speech, and mind, who makes merit while alive, that will be for future bliss after passing from here.

Six months since Los Angeles Fire

Altadena is in foothills on the edge of Angeles Forest. Pacific Palisades is swank beachside.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Kathryn Barger, oops, sorry, LA Mayor Karen Bass was busy
The LA Fire in Altadena and the Pacific Palisades is the costliest fire disaster in US history.
.
It has been six months since the devastation touched Los Angeles, first with inexplicable winds then the common consequence, a California brush fire that spread all out of control. The cost of it may end up being a quarter trillion by some estimates. That seems impossible to believe because if it were true, how much better might that money be used?

Update from construction worker Adam Corolla

What was the cause in the Palisades Fire, a homeless campfire or a directed energy weapon deployed on some of the richest liberal real estate in the country? In Altadena it has become clear that the Eaton Fire was Southern California Edison's fault, according to conclusive forensic evidence gathered by attorneys Mikal Watts and Barbara Boxer's son (and Erin Brockovich) at lafirejustice.com.


SCE may be 100% to blame for starting it with their derelict transmission tower not being cared for, taken down, or secured and grounded to avoid this predictable outcome. But Mayor Bass, the lack of a reservoir, the fire department doing next to nothing, and no precautions being taken when the weather forecast perfectly predicted how bad the winds would be. Someone upstairs is to blame for not having enough precautions in place. It might be Kathryn Barger, but all eyes and targets are on Mayor Karen Bass and future president-wannabe Gov. Gav (Newsom). What does everyone claim the cause of this (Paradise/Camp-style) Fire was? Embers.

It's as if Vulcan, the god of fire, burned part of Los Angeles back to the stone age.

World under Egypt’s pyramid finally found

20K-y-o labyrinth, 3K chambers hidden under Egypt’s pyramid found (The Daily Galaxy, UK)

20K-year-old labyrinth with 3K chambers hidden under Egypt’s pyramid finally found, as centuries-old claim resurfaces
A groundbreaking discovery has emerged from the sands of Egypt, where a labyrinth — hidden beneath a pyramid — could dramatically alter our understanding of ancient civilizations.

This labyrinth, boasting 3,000 rooms and multiple passageways, was once described by ancient historians like Herodotus. For centuries, the hidden labyrinth beneath the Hawara pyramid has sparked interest.


Herodotus, who visited Egypt in the 5th century BCE, wrote about a structure with 3,000 chambers, both above and below ground. He described the labyrinth as surpassing the pyramids in scale and complexity, though he was only able to view the upper chambers, as access to the underground levels was denied.

His accounting of this tale, rich in detail, suggests that the labyrinth was a remarkable feat of engineering, with passages that captivated all who saw it.

Atrahasis: Ark was round basket boat during flood:
Sumerian Noah (Assyrian carvings, cuneiform tablet)

Despite Herodotus’s descriptions, no direct evidence of the underground complex has been found — until recent advancements in technology.

Groundbreaking tools like satellite scans and ground-penetrating radar are now being used to investigate the site and reveal what may lie beneath the surface.

Modern discovery resurfaces the mystery
In 2023, a research paper titled “The Labyrinth, the Colossi, and the Lake” presented evidence supporting the existence of underground rooms at Hawara.

These findings align with Herodotus’s descriptions, suggesting that the labyrinth may have been a much older structure than previously thought.
Researchers used radar and satellite imaging to detect underground anomalies, potentially revealing parts of the long-hidden labyrinth.

While the discovery is promising, there remains debate within the academic community regarding its validity. Some experts express caution, while others argue that modern technology could provide the long-awaited evidence of the labyrinth’s existence.

Herodotus’s account and archeological efforts
Herodotus’s firsthand account has long been a key source of information about the labyrinth. In his writings, he described the structure as having chambers both above and below the surface. The underground sections, he claimed, were even more awe-inspiring, but access was restricted.

He further noted that the labyrinth was “greater than the pyramids” in grandeur. Modern archeology has struggled to verify this description.

In the 19th century, Sir Flinders Petrie uncovered what he believed to be the foundation of the labyrinth, but his findings were inconclusive due to limited resources and technology. Despite Petrie’s observations, definitive evidence of the labyrinth remained elusive.

The most recent use of space-based radar and electromagnetic surveys is helping uncover the truth.

These advanced technologies, unavailable during past archeological efforts, have made it possible to detect subsurface features beneath the pyramid at Hawara. The latest findings point to the existence of extensive underground structures that could align with Herodotus’s description of the labyrinth.

A 2008 expedition using electromagnetic surveys uncovered subterranean features that resembled ancient walls, indicating the possible presence of a mortuary complex or a hidden section of the labyrinth.

Recent 3D reconstructions of the area suggest two levels of underground chambers around the pyramid of Amenemhet III, further supporting the theory that the labyrinth is real.
