There is a lot of missing information in these numbers. LA County has approximately 10 million…Read More people in it. They say people have access to 2.5 million jobs but do not mention how many people are vying for those jobs. It also, of course, does not mention the relative education and training of the residents versus the requirements and compensation packages of the jobs. I spent nearly a year looking for a middle-management job and finally found one 45 minutes away. In this town, that is a short commute.

Not only is the answer "no", it's "hell, no". "Accessability to jobs?"…Read More By spending hours in personal vehicles? The absolute lousiest public transportation for a city of this population? What were they smoking before they crunched the numbers? Is there some spreadsheet error we don't yet know about? Are they confusing apples with oranges? Sheesh! I used to take Metrolink when I worked, but I wouldn't exactly call it convenient nor inexpensive. Short trip to the train station, but.......and no, my employer did not kick in any $ like so many others did. That's life.

This study suffers from a classic error. It assumes that access translates into a job--which is…Read More often not the case. Because of high housing costs, many Angelinos can not afford to move and thus select long commutes over moving to a higher rent/ purchasing a new home nearer the job. There is also a second self selection re commutes-- individuals will stay with a job close by, even if it means giving up raises or advancement to avoid excessive commutes or finding new housing.

‘……..Other Western scholars and writers too, agree that, rarely in history…Read More have facts been deliberately so distorted as to give a completely wrong Picture, as the Armenians have done for more than a century in connection with the so-called ‘Armenian question’. They succeeded in deceiving the public opinion of the Christian world because they posed as a martyred nation in the cause of Christ….’
‘…In the field of propaganda, no one could surpass the Ottoman Christians, including mainly the Armenians, who used their positions as translators/interpreters in the embassies and consulates of the Powers to convince those Powers of their stories, and to sway their relief workers, missionaries and ecclesiastical leaders, about the genuineness of their case. Many a time a gullible Western journalist was trapped by their vociferations, and spread their tales……..’
‘……According to the Reverend Dr Cyrus Hamlin, the first president of the American Robert College in Istanbul (now Boğaziçi University), a propaganda bureau was set up in London in the 1870s which had, for its object, the foreign dissemination of all news prejudicial to the Turks. Hamlin stated that the onslaught of this ‘one-sided and unreliable information’ about any people would, after a period of years, stir up a hostility and hatred that could not be easily overcome………..’

By 1923 only Anatolia, eastern Thrace and a section of the southeastern Caucasus remained as…Read More Muslim land. The Balkan Muslims were largely gone, dead or forced to migrate….The same fate had overcome the Muslims of the Crimea, the northern Caucasus and Russian Armenia- they were simply gone. Millions of Muslims, most of them Turks, had died; millions had fled to what is today Turkey. ‘Between 1821 and 1922, more than five million Muslims were driven from their lands. Five and a half (5.5) million Muslims died, some of them killed in wars, others perished as refugees from starvation and disease’ points out McCarthy’.
‘Despite the historical importance of the Muslim losses, it is not to be found in textbooks......
‘According to Caleb F Gates, the Armenian population statistics in January 1921, as confirmed by the Armenian Patriarchate was as follows: Armenians in Ottoman provinces approximetely 600 000; Armenians alive 944 900; Armenian total loss 355 000. (FO 371/6556/E 2730: Gates to Rumbold, 16.2.1921)’.
‘In the light of these statistics, how can the loss of about 400 000 Armenians be labelled as ‘massacres, genocide, or proto-Holocaust’ and the loss of over one million Muslims, as a result of Armenian activities, is not even mentioned? What kind of a holocoust is it that the aggressive side suffered much more losses than the attacked side?’

Armenian genocide is a long discredited, biased, and political claim. According to 1948 UN…Read More Convention, intent must be proven after due process at a competent tribunal for a genocide verdict to stand. No such tribunal (a la Nuremberg) was convened and no genocide verdict exists. Insisting on a non-existing label, purely based on a racist and dishonest version of history, boils down to lynching. When the six T's of the Turkish-Armenian conflict are all truthfully considered, it will be obvious that it was a inter-communal warfare fought by Christian and Muslim irregulars. Truth should not be a fodder to newspaper ratings, political support, or other such benefits.

That was fast, Informer—thanks. Yes, it's Floyd's Barbershop. You might be interested to know…Read More that Floyd's commissions this particular muralist, whose artist name is "Never," to do murals on its other eight locations in L.A., according to an employee I spoke to. And high on a wall at the far end of the barbershop is another mural—a much smaller one than the one outside—that has the artist's signature. See second photo.
