#LaurelCanyon in the 1960s and early 1970s was a magical place where a dizzying array of musical artists congregated to create much of the music that provided the soundtrack to those turbulent times.

Members of bands like the #Byrds, the #Doors, #BuffaloSpringfield, the #Monkees, the #BeachBoys, the Turtles, the #Eagles, the Flying Burrito Brothers, Frank #Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, #Steppenwolf, #CrosbyStillsNash, Three Dog Night and #Love, along with other singer/songwriters as #JoniMitchell, Judy Collins, #JamesTaylor and #CaroleKing, lived together and jammed together in the bucolic community nestled in the #Hollywood Hills.

But there was a dark side to that scene as well.

Many didn't make it out alive, and many deaths remain shrouded in mystery to this day.

Far more integrated into the scene than most would like to admit was a guy by the name of #CharlesManson, along with his entourage.

Also floating about the periphery were various political operatives, up-and-coming politicians and intelligence personnel—the same sort of people who gave birth to many of the rock stars populating the canyon.

And all the canyon's colorful characters—rock stars, hippies, murderers and politicos—happily coexisted alongside a covert military installation.

"Weird Scenes Inside the Canyon" is the very strange, but nevertheless true story of the dark underbelly of a hippie utopia.

I don't recall reading this guy's work, but ran across his bit about being offered money to push pro-Ukraine articles. I can only assume it's US taxpayer funds used to continue the grift for politicians.

YOUTH DRAG QUEEN "MENTOR" FACING CHILD PORNOGRAPHY CHARGES

"#Boren is just the latest in a string of adults involved in the #DragQueen scene to face charges related to #child #SexualAbuse or #exploitation.

Earlier this week, Reduxx reported that an award-winning drag queen in the United Kingdom had been charged with child sexual abuse material possession.

Just prior to that, a #DragQueen incarcerated in the United States on charges of child sex trafficking was revealed as having launched a career in trans-activism.

In June, a Pennsylvania #DragQueen and #LGBTQ activist who performed for children was charged with 25 counts of child sexual abuse material possession.

THE US HAS DECLARED IRAN A PARTICIPANT IN THE WAR IN UKRAINE

The #US declaration of #Iran as a country that participates in the war in #Ukraine, of course, is a reflection of the double standards of the US, because in fact the US accuses Iran of supplying #weapons to #Russia, and Russia uses them.

Of course the US itself openly supplies weapons to Ukraine, and these weapons are also used for attacks on the territory of the Russian Federation.

Then there's the fact of participation of the US #military and #intelligence services in the fighting in Ukraine.

The US declares that they are not a party to the conflict, do not participate and do not want to participate in hostilities on the territory of Ukraine.

The very fact that these #Iranian #drones turned out to be very effective has stalled Ukrainian air defense.

This is why the US-puppet #Zelensky #regime now screams about the need to saturate the air defense of Ukraine, supply additional air defense systems and drone control system

DRONES USED IN UKRAINE ARE MANUFACTURED IN RUSSIA, WEST INVENTING FAKE PRETEXT

Samizdat – 20.10.2022

#Drones being used by #Russian military forces in #Ukraine are wholly manufactured in Russia, Deputy Permanent Representative to the #UN Dmitry Polyanskiy stressed to reporters after allegations surfaced that Iran was providing UAVs to #Moscow.

“UAV used by the Russian army in Ukraine are manufactured in Russia,” Polyanskiy said on Wednesday, adding that Western officials are inventing artificial pretext.

The official further added that the United Nations Secretariat does not have a legal mandate to conduct an investigation into the alleged use of Iranian-made drones in Ukraine.

“[The UN Secretariat] has no mandates to investigate anything regarding the UN Security Council resolution 2231,” Polyanskiy said. “Its role as enshrined within note of the Security Council President 2016/44 16 January 2016 is purely technical – to prepare meeting rooms, circulated communications.”

The comments come after the EU spokesperson Nabila Massrali revealed that the block had collected evidence allegedly proving that Iran had supplied Moscow with drones for its ongoing special military operation.

🇺🇦 Ukranian telegram channel:

Against kamikaze UAVs, the Armed Forces of Ukraine use their fighters, which fly out and catch up with the "mopeds".

The only risk is that in this way the Russians catch Ukrainian planes.
The tactics are simple. They send a drone - a kamikaze, for example, in the Poltava region (there is a military airfield there). At this moment, the fighters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine take off to shoot down the "shahid", and at this moment aviation and air defense are also working from the Russian side, which detects the Ukrainian aircraft and fires several "surprises" at it. As a result, more than 3 aircraft were lost in the Poltava region in a few days.

Aviation is suitable only for work in the depths of the country, and then there is a risk that in western Ukraine, a surprise may arrive from Belarus.
But with X-type missiles or calibers, such a feint does not work.

The Russians also use a mixed launch system, when they release kamikaze UAVs in advance, and after a while missiles of different types.
If the Office of the President does not report damage from a missile attack, this does not mean that it does not exist. This morning a lot of Missiles hits the target, just Bankovaya forbade writing about it. In many cities, the power went out and the residual electric transport stopped.
