I found this talk by Raj Vedam on YouTube Indian civilization: The Untold Story- A Talk by Raj Vedam.

What if the history of India that we learn in our textbooks tells only part of the story, and worse, tells the story incorrectly? What if there are significant periods missing in the narration on Indian history that is not being told today? In this talk he critiques present-day narratives, examines the evidence from a variety of scientific disciplines, and presents a unique, strong and compelling case for an untold prehistory of India.

There is a very good follow-on video Q&A: Indian Civilization-The Untold Story:- A Talk By Raj Vedam.

I don’t often get an opportunity to name drop, so please indulge me in the following remarks.

I worked with Raj Vedam when I was in Oregon from 1994 to 2006. We had some deep conversations about the world, but I still had no idea of this level of research. When I worked with him, as far as I knew he was doing research in mathematics and computer science. I had enough of my own expertise to understand maybe half of what he tried to explain to me. However, I saw the evidence in the software that he produced to realize that he really knew what he was talking about.

I was just watching the NBC Nightly News story Songwriter behind Toys R Us jingle, one of the catchiest of all time.

I was wondering why NBC chose to do this story instead of commenting on the Bloomberg story Toys ‘R’ Us Shutting U.S. Stores After Failed Turnaround. Listen to the mention of private equity owners Bain Capital and KKR not allowing needed investment in the stores.

I was wondering if NBC chose this softball story because they had any connection to Bain or KKR. A little Google search surfaced two articles immediately.

The New York Times has the story Weather Channel Is Sold to NBC and Equity Firms.

Though the parties did not disclose the price, the buyers, NBC and the private equity firms Bain Capital and the Blackstone Group, will pay just under $3.5 billion, people briefed on the matter said.

Business Wire has the story FanDuel Announces Series E Financing of $275 Million from KKR, Google Capital and Time Warner.

Existing investors Shamrock Capital, NBC Sports Ventures, Comcast Ventures, Bullpen Capital, Pentech Ventures and Piton Capital also participated.

I just report. You decide.

Craig Murray, whistle blower extraordinaire, has the post Of A Type Developed By Liars.

I have now received confirmation from a well placed FCO source that Porton Down scientists are not able to identify the nerve gas as being of Russian manufacture, and have been resentful of the pressure being placed on them to do so. Porton Down would only sign up to the formulation “of a type developed by Russia” after a rather difficult meeting where this was agreed as a compromise formulation.

Porton Down is still not certain it is the Russians who have apparently synthesised a “Novichok”. Hence “Of a type developed by Russia”. Note developed, not made, produced or manufactured.

It is very carefully worded propaganda. Of a type developed by liars.

I post stuff like this on my blog for one important reason. When I tell information like this to friends and relatives, I often get the response, “Where on earth do you get this stuff?” Rather than making the weak claim that I read it somewhere, I like to be able to point them to my blog to show them where I get this stuff.

They can still deny this because it only comes from a whistle blower with inside knowlegde, but for at least a few, it will plant the seed of doubt.

One of my favorite Mark Twain quotes is,
“It ain’t what you don’t know that gets you into trouble. It’s what you know for sure that just ain’t so.”
