Paul,

There are lots of fallen angels in Old Testament. If you want endless hours of entertainment, I suggest you read some books by Zecharia Sitchin.

ZS's popular writings are based upon actual translations of the Mesopotamian seals ,thousands of years old,which claim that aliens came aeons ago,to mine the planet for gold and minerals, and genetically engineered the human race combining their dna with that of lifeforms existing on earth. (God/s made man in their own image-Bible). Their route into our solar system ,with an arrow,is supposed to be shown on a copper plate in a Berlin museum.We also have our ancient texts mentioning vimanas,etc. The bar of history is being pushed back thousands of years earlier by new archaeological discoveries.Some of the ancient monuments discovered are so massive and tech. advanced that they cannot be replicated even today. There are no cranes that can lift some of the massive stone slabs like the Trilithon at Baalbek.

the most impressive aspects of this site is almost hidden from view: beneath and behind the ruined remains of the temple itself are three massive stone block called the trilithon.
These three stone blocks are the largest building blocks ever used by any human beings anywhere in the world.Each one is 70 feet long, 14 feet high, 10 feet thick, and weigh around 800 tons.

As Singha has said,some of these tales say exactly that,conflict between the "Gods",even wars fought over the pyramids,built much earlier than what traditional historians say.The seals show the pyramids,our solar system with the planets in correct size,and an extra one which many call Nibiru,Planet X,etc.,with a peculiar orbit, that visits us every few thousands of years,bringing with it cataclysmic destruction!

But the "Devil" is alive and kicking v.well in the Western world. There are many occult groups which are "black" and bookshops specializing in the subject matter. The US however doesn't need a "fallen angel",why they have the NRA!

Puerto Rico Financial Crisis - Vulture Hedge Funds In Action

Sub Mortgage Crisis Redux ?

Hedge funds tell Puerto Rico: lay off teachers and close schools to pay us back

Billionaire hedge fund managers have called on Puerto Rico to lay off teachers and close schools so that the island can pay them back the billions it owes.

The hedge funds called for Puerto Rico to avoid financial default – and repay its debts – by collecting more taxes, selling $4bn worth of public buildings and drastically cutting public spending, particularly on education.

IMF medicine being prescribed for the U.S. colony

It accused the island, where 56% of children live in poverty, of spending too much on education even though the government has already closed down almost 100 schools so far this year.

Puerto Rico has actively courted billionaires and hedge fund investors as it has struggled with its mounting debts. It sold hundreds of millions worth of debt to vulture funds last year.

Luis Gallardo, majority municipal legislator for Aguas Buenas, said the hedge fund-commissioned report was a “typically IMF recipe for radical austerity”.

Fajgenbaum and Loser[*] said the hedge funds did not influence the content of their report, and declined to state how much money they were paid for their work.

'Where to Invade Next': Michael Moore Unveils Film on US' Infinite War

15:37 29.07.
Award-winning filmmaker Michael Moore has been secretly working on a new documentary titled "Where to Invade Next."
Washington's endless engagement in a perpetual war cycle and pathological "need to have an enemy" are at the heart of Moore's latest project.
The film is scheduled to debut at the Toronto International Film Festival in September.

"I've been very quiet about the making of this film. You probably haven't seen much of me…. We've been very diligent about keeping this under cover," Moore said during a short Q&A, saying the film is "of epic nature."

In an age when almost any information leaks to social media in the blink of an eye, keeping a major project focusing on the US military under wraps is an achievement in itself.

The director of "Bowling for Columbine" (2002) and "Fahrenheit 9/11" (2004) has not provided many details on the new documentary but confirmed that the US' increasing belligerence is at the heart of the new project. It remains unclear whether the film will focus on the post-9/11 era or examine US foreign policy in general.

"The issue of the United States at infinite war is something that has concerned me for quite some time and provides the necessary satire for this film," said Moore, a vocal critic of George W. Bush's war on terror. The acclaimed filmmaker added that there was no specific trigger that prompted him to make the documentary.

US National Strategy: Washington Has Right to Invade Any 'Non-Ally'
The United States has an unhealthy but "constant need to have an enemy," which would help "to keep this whole military industrial complex alive and keep the companies that make a lot of money from this in business," the director lamented.

"I have always been a little bothered by that. That's where the comedy comes from," he added.

TIFF organizers described the film as Moore's "most provocative and hilarious." The filmmaker "tells the Pentagon to 'stand down' – he will do the invading for America from now on," they said

The Wonder Years: The joys of growing up in Yoo Ess Yay

In the US, poverty, deprivation and exploitation draw thousands of its own children down into a dark underworld that offers few ways out.

It is a world few Americans are aware of. But tens of thousands of American children are thought to be sexually exploited every year.

It's believed that every night hundreds are sold for sex.

The FBI says child sex abuse is almost at an epidemic level, despite the agency rescuing 600 children last year.

Ironic when just two days ago the State Department released their TIPReport with wonderful colour shading for countries across the globe.

Young Africans to Obama: 'Clean your own house first'

President Obama came to Africa to deliver a "blunt message" to its politicians. But young people in Kenya and Ethiopia had plenty to say to Mr Obama about the state of America.

He talked of the need to eradicate corruption and treat fairly minority communities, including Muslims in Kenya.

Kenyans and Ethiopians were overwhelmingly enthusiastic, even fanatical, about their returning East African son, but there were many who felt America, even Barack Obama, was not in a position to lecture others on some of these points.

"They are interested in other people's problems but they don't care about black people in their own country," Shiferaw says. "Most of our black brothers and sisters are suffering in the US,"

It was clear in both countries that the issue of race, more than any other, had damaged people's perceptions of the US.

This is the first sane advice from you in a long while. No third worlder should attempt immigration to the US. Far far better off at home. Never take the exile in first place, so you dont later face the shock of return.

And yes, WE do treat minorities as freshly pooped cow dung. No one and nothing shows otherwise. Suitable for even a shampoo when its appropriate and not even good enough for a sewer when spent.

Why does the Western liberal media love Russian criminals?

Bryan MacDonald
Published time: 30 Jul, 2015

When you lie down with the dogs, you wake up with the fleas. Western media is shattering its own credibility by soft-soaping post-Soviet criminals.
“We have lost all the things we had with Yeltsin. It’s a great tragedy for Russia and its people.” One reads the line twice, to absorb the distance between perception and reality, and to realise how superficial the media can be.

According to the Guardian’s Luke Harding, Sergei Pugachev uttered the above last week in Nice, France. If I didn’t know better, I’d swear Harding and Pugachev were trying to be funny. Alas, I do know better and they were not.

Anybody who knows even the smallest amount about Russia is fully aware that the 90s are regarded as the nation’s nadir. Most political figures of the age are about as well regarded as tooth-extraction, without anesthetic. Russians over-30 can’t help but shudder when the subject is broached. It was a stretch of extraordinary suffering in Russia. It was also a period when lawlessness ruled.

The Yeltsin-era is remembered as a time when the president was an alcohol-swilling halfwit, and Chechnya was trying to separate from the then chaotic Russian state. Supermarket shelves, while not necessarily empty, certainly lacked variety. Medical specialists were earning a meager $75 a month (if they were lucky) and life expectancy for males had dropped to a shocking 57 years.

By the start of Yeltsin’s second term, Russia's death rate had passed immediate post-war levels. Curable diseases such as measles and diphtheria had reached epidemic numbers unseen since the Romanov's ruled from Petrograd. At the same time, rates of cancer, heart disease and tuberculosis were the highest of any industrialized country in the world.

The birthrate had collapsed. In Moscow, it was as low as 8.2 per 1,000 population. Amidst all this, the world’s largest country was being run by a small clique of amazingly wealthy oligarchs. Some of them - like Berezovsky, Khodorkovsky and Gusinsky - became household names and hate figures for ordinary Russians. Rather than investing their stolen money in the Russian economy, the kleptocrats shipped their cash to New York and London. Naturally, Yeltsin was very popular with politicians in the West - especially in the US and Great Britain.

That Riviera Touch

Back in 2008, the Guardian hadn’t completed its commercially-driven about-turn to American style right-wing values. Still clinging to the compassionate British left philosophy that was once its trademark, it told the truth about Yeltsin’s Russia. The oligarchs were “about as popular with your average Russian as a man idly burning bundles of £50s outside an orphanage,”wrote Andrew Mueller.

In a bout of revisionism that would impress Plato himself, Harding and Pugachev want us to believe that 90’s Russia was a great place. In reality, it was a humiliated country on the verge of implosion; a wild society where basic human dignity was frequently absent. In the interview - in which Harding notably questions Pugachev in English - the Guardian reporter makes no attempt to query how the fugitive manages to live in the south of France after his passports were impounded in Britain. Nor does he establish why Pugachev would feel safer in Nice than in London. Proportionally, there are far more Russians on the Cote D’Azur than in the UK capital.

Pugachev is currently on an Interpol wanted list. In 2010, his Moscow bank Mezhprombank defaulted on its debts and lost its license. Since then, Russia’s Deposit Insurance Agency has been trying to prosecute the former billionaire. Back in March, Pugachev told the Financial Times that he couldn’t afford a lawyer. He revealed to Harding that he still had $70 million. British justice, while expensive, is not that expensive.

Harding’s interview with Pugachev was just the latest in a series of Western media puff-pieces where post-Soviet criminal suspects can have the past practically whitewashed in exchange for delivering a few anti-Putin sound bites.

It's "just not right"

Just imagine the London media reaction if Moscow-based financial newspaper Vedomosti, for example, began to soft-soap wanted English criminals because they were prepared to bad-mouth David Cameron? Russia’s ambassador to London, Alexander Yakovenko, mentioned on Twitter that “dozens of persons on Russia’s extradition list” are in the UK.

This was in response to David Cameron’s ‘crusade’ against dirty money. A movement he has joined with all the enthusiasm of a 'Sloane Ranger' sipping pints at a Workingman’s club in Sunderland.

There’s also the case of Andrei Borodin. Wanted in Russia on corruption and fraud charges, he bought Britain’s most expensive house for £140 million in Henley-on-Thames. That’s $218 million for a house. The UK media aren’t interested in where the money came from, of course. Alexander Lebedev, part-owner of Russia’s leading opposition newspaper Novaya Gazeta, has described Britain’s decision to grant Borodin asylum as “just not right.” It should be noted that Lebedev is no fan of the Kremlin, or President Putin.

Another former Guardian favorite was the late billionaire businessman Boris Berezovsky, who admitted to helping fix the 1996 Russian Presidential election, via his TV channels, as mentioned by Harding in 2013 (Berezovsky, wanted by the Russian authorities, died in strange circumstances in 2013). However, in Harding’s interview with Pugachev, he leaves unchallenged the latter’s assertion that 1996 was “Russia’s last free election.” Even former Yeltsin-era Minister Anatoly Chubais has admitted violations in the 1996 poll. This Exile magazine piece from 2007, by Alexander Zaitchik and Mark Ames, gives more background on how the West cynically ignored wrong-doing to serve its own ends.

The Kremlin critics do not necessarily have to be Russian. Georgia’s former President Mikhail Saakashvili, for example, is regularly wheeled out for some Putin bashing. Here in the Wall Street Journal for instance and also on BBC’s HARDtalk show. This particular episode probably should have been dubbed ‘Softtalk’ - the questions were so harmless. Yet what most Western media ignores is that Saakashvili is a wanted criminal suspect in his homeland.

The Western press uncritically accepts convicted Russian criminals and fugitives from justice as martyrs. In obviously PR-agency organized interviews, they are allowed to embellish their reputations to their heart’s content. However, there’s a proviso, they must bad-mouth Russia’s current government to the greatest possible extent. The more alleged insights into Putin’s ‘inner-circle’ the more prominent the puff piece will be. If you only care about moral standards when they can be used against your enemies, then you probably don't really care about moral standards.

I still keep telling my dad that he should have moved to CA just after I was born when he got the offer , but dang, he chose to be a Gubmint Daaktur here in India. If only he had moved there, I probably would have grown up to be a surfer dude in LA/ SD and been hanging out in Burning Man . One of my very close YumBeeYea pals actually is a big fan of the Burning Man and attends each one without fail and lives out the surfer dude lifestyle (pool parties, rave parties, surrounded by stunning blondes) is into that whole scene big time, lives in Venice Beach after selling out his business, while here I am in Bengaluru, fighting through mad traffic in commute, rather than hanging out in the beach!

Facebook Cancels Internship of Indian-Origin Harvard Student After He Exposes Flaw in App

Washington: Facebook cancelled an Indian-origin student's internship after he exposed a serious privacy flaw in the social media giant's messenger service, a media report said.

Aran Khanna's application, Marauder's Map, used data from Facebook Messenger to map users' location when they sent messages, Boston.com reported on Wednesday.

The computer science and math student at Harvard University in Massachusetts, US, posted about his app on social media sites Reddit and Medium in May this year and soon it went viral.

The app caught the attention of Facebook and Mr Khanna was asked to disable it.

However, before it was disabled, the extension was downloaded more than 85,000 times and "shared on over 200 publications", according to Mr Khanna.

About a week later, Facebook released a Messenger app update to provide users "full control over when and how you share your location information".

Facebook cancelled Mr Khanna's summer internship, saying he did not meet the high ethical standards expected from the interns.

The student accepted another internship with a tech start-up in Silicon Valley and later detailed the experience in a case study titled 'Facebook's Privacy Incident Response: A study of geolocation sharing on Facebook Messenger' in the Harvard Journal of Technology Science.

New York's darkest secret: The Hole is a Mafia graveyard that few people venture into
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world ... html[quote]
'The Hole' is an almost forgotten quarter, with a legacy of Mafia hits, buried secrets and faded hopes. Alexander Nazaryan explores the least known, worst off and most desolate district of New York City before it is swept away

Alexander Nazaryan
Friday 14 August 2015

It may be true, as the Old Testament counsels, that all flesh is grass, but sorry is the flesh that ends up as grass in the Hole, a Mafia graveyard and Deliverance-worthy outpost that may be the most forlorn of New York City's 250 or so neighbourhoods.

Although most New Yorkers haven't been there, the Hole hides in plain sight. Many pass it on the way to John F Kennedy International Airport, on a bleak road above which jets wheeze in on their final descent toward the runways along Jamaica Bay. Behind a tatty curtain of trees and weeds, there is a strange depression in the land, as if a sinkhole had opened here on the desultory border between Brooklyn and Queens. It looks less like a New York neighbourhood than an Arkansas village, only with housing projects on the horizon instead of the Ozark Mountains. Welcome to the Hole.

Many city dwellers learned about the Hole in 2004, when what remained of the bodies of two mafiosi was found nourishing this sodden patch of earth skipped over by modernity. The unlucky mobsters – Dominick "Big Trin" Trinchera and Philip "Philly Lucky" Giaccone – had been dispatched by Gambino crime family boss John "the Teflon Don" Gotti. Federal agents, though, had credible leads about other Gambino adversaries sleeping the big sleep in the Hole. Attention turned naturally enough to the place itself, so isolated that it could serve as a wiseguy ossuary, even as the Hole's residents presumably went about their daily lives.

"The closest thing New York has to a border town," declared The New York Times, comparing the Hole to Laredo, Texas, with its "dusty streets, stray dogs, ramshackle corrugated tin structures and even a few cowboys". Real cowboys – members of the Federation of Black Cowboys, to be exact – since ironic hipster cowboys weren't traipsing around the city just yet. But the mediagenic buckaroos disguised the fact that most people had not come here to live out their Wild West fantasies, or fantasies of any kind. As one woman told the Times: "Most people are here because they were born here or they can't afford to live anywhere else. I'd love to move, but I can't afford to, so for now I'm stuck in the Hole."

Two decades earlier, the Hole would not have made news in barbaric New York where, in 1984, the vigilante Bernhard Goetz became a hero to some for shooting four black kids on a subway train; where, in 1985, the ascendant Gotti had his rival Paul Castellano rubbed out in the middle of Manhattan; where, in 1989, a local psycho served the homeless denizens of Tompkins Square Park a soup made out of his dismembered girlfriend. The city was rife with Holes, from the East Village to East Harlem. A wasteland full of human remains way out by the airport? Meh.

Well, this New York wasn't that New York. By 2004, most Holes in New York were being turned into condominiums. A month before the discovery of the two bodies, the Republican National Convention had concluded in the city; later that fall, City Hall would submit its final bid for the 2012 Summer Olympics. That there was, within city limits, something as unruly as the Hole was an affront to the notion of a 21st-century metropolis, welcoming to conservatives from Mississippi and tourists from Toulouse, France.

Men behaving sadly: in this picture from Allen Agostino’s exhibition, Hole residents Bam, Josh and Carlos watch TV in their trailer Men behaving sadly: in this picture from Allen Agostino’s exhibition, Hole residents Bam, Josh and Carlos watch TV in their trailer (© Allen Agostino)
No other bodies were found during the 2004 dig, though the tall reeds that rise in claustrophobic phalanxes on the empty lots of the Hole could easily hide a Roman legion, as could the abandoned houses that look like they haven't been occupied since The Beatles touched down at JFK. But fascination with the Hole remains; in the years since, the neighbourhood has served as the frequent subject of artistic and journalistic curiosity, a wellspring of infinite weirdness, hardcore ruin-***** for the concrete-encased soul.

Every city has a shadow city. Paris has the catacombs. Hong Kong had the Kowloon Walled City. New York has the Hole. Places like these matter because they declare that the past is not fully known and the future may well turn out to be a shitshow. We could all be living in what, 100 years hence, may turn out to be the Hole. We are in on one cosmic joke but the butt of another. That terrifies some and thrills others.

The photographer Nathan Kensinger, whose work has appeared at the Brooklyn Museum and the Museum of the City of New York, says that of the about 200 photo essays he has done on New York City, his 2009 exploration of the Hole remains among the most popular.

"It's kind of crazy to me how much of an urban legend the Hole became after I wrote about it," Kensinger told me. Though he makes no claims to have "discovered" the Hole, he does believe that his photo-essay introduced it to intrepid young New Yorkers, many of them recent arrivals, eager to treat the city like an unexplored jungle.

"This is the true New York," wrote urban explorer Kevin Walsh of Forgotten New York, a photography project chronicling the city's overlooked areas. "This is NYC with pretense and artifice stripped away." Go to the Hole now, before Starbucks arrives. Just don't wear flip-flops

Such a waste of pulp that could have made good toilet paper. Take your pick: 1 or 2. Try it again, 2 or 1. Quick, man. There is no time. Which is it?

Its 1, isnt it?

Keep in mind that under Texas law, it takes more than four ounces of marijuana to bring a felony charge. This is what four ounces of marijuana looks like. It seems doubtful that a woman could be casually driving around with that much marijuana stuffed into her vagina. So Corley was forced to the ground, stripped, and penetrated to search for evidence that at worst would have amounted to a misdemeanor. Which means that the Harris County Sheriff’s Department believes its perfectly acceptable to allow a stranger to forcibly probe a woman’s vagina in order to prevent her from possessing a personal-use quantity of marijuana. And even that happened without a warrant, based only on one deputy’s claim to have smelled the drug.

Gotta see this guys. The kind of shit they do and they dare to call non-abrahamics devil-worshipers.

If this is the sh!t they do in USA, imagine they stuff they get away with among tribals in India.

Haven't you found it strange that only so called religious conmen of the saffron variety are only ever caught in India, what happens to those of abrahamic religions, are they all pure as virgin snow?

Added another link for those who cannot see the above one.

Some years ago I was horrified to see global televangelist Benny Hinn on telly ranting and raving against heathen religions and cultures.He later on arrived in town,BLR on a pvt. jet like a head of state,marshalled an entire pvt. airfield for his meeting of lakhs.There was ahuge pre-meeting propaganda-cum-publicity campaign carried on in the local media akin to a US presidential publicity drive.Benny boy on telly spoke of the drumming culture in countries in Asia,Africa,etc. and said "didn't one feel something evil about them?" .A bigot like Hinn is astonishingly allowed to come to India and preach bsh*t ,bogus Christianity,and was actually feted by the Karnataka CM of the time! The older politico/babu generation's love and worship of "white flesh" is nauseating and shameful.

This is insanely ridiculous. Needs to be shared far & wide. People will forget Radhe Maa & Asaram bapu, these here are the real thieves!! The more I read this thread the more I realise that USA is inherently a white Pakistan but with a 1% population that keeps it afloat via advancements in STEM.

Stupid Indians don't know that Christianism in the west is reserved for the most debased, ignorant, impoverished segment of the population.

This is not the fault of Christianism, is it?
