Peru’s former president Ollanta Humala and wife face 15 years in prison

Ashton Snyder – A dramatic legal saga unfolds in Peru as former president Ollanta Humala and his wife Nadine Heredia confront serious consequences for their political past.

According to BBC, a court in Lima has sentenced both Humala and Heredia to 15 years in prison after finding them guilty of laundering money received from Venezuela’s late president Hugo Chávez and Brazilian construction giant Odebrecht to finance their election campaigns in 2006 and 2011.

The ruling marks a significant downfall for the former army officer who served as Peru’s president from 2011 to 2016. Prosecutors successfully proved that the couple accepted $3 million in illegal contributions from Odebrecht for their 2011 presidential campaign, along with $200,000 from Venezuelan leader Hugo Chávez for their 2006 campaign efforts.

Matthew Green – It sounds like a fairytale or maybe the plot of a Charles Dickens novel — but it’s a true story.

It began when Víctor Martín Angulo Córdova, an 11-year-old boy from Moche, Perú, caught the attention of the officers monitoring the city’s security cameras.

A street camera captured video of the sixth grader sitting and lying down in the road under a streetlamp doing his homework.

Soon the images and the backstory went public on news outlets and social media. Continue reading →

Nazca Mummies Revisited – Anatomy Of A Hoax? [Video]

Alexandra Bruce – Here are the three-toed Nazca mummies again…Gaia TV seems to have grown silent on this subject after a lot of hype last June. This may be due to the position of the Peruvian government that, “The criminal abuse of corpses for petty ends violates human dignity in a profound way. Thus, exploitation of Pre-Columbian mummies carried out by this organization attacks and particularly offends the Andean culture, implying that its achievements were due to an illegal ‘alien aid’.”

I’ve set the code for this to begin after the first 8 minutes of this piece, which follows Steve Mera of Phenomena magazine on a laboriously documented, uneventful trip from Manchester, UK to the Andean altitudes of Cuzco, Peru.

Under very dodgy circumstances, our Mancunian host and his cameraman Barry Fitzgerald are allowed to film the small mummified remains of what look like “Greys”, which even they are forced to admit from the x-rays look fabricated.

Let’s take a look at a couple of ‘less’ discussed phenomena in Egypt first, and then we’ll take a journey through some pretty exciting places in Peru in the next post, in which we will discuss further the power centers and networks.

Part One—Egypt’s Ancient Technology

In the northern region of the stone quarries of ancient Egypt in Aswan is an unfinished obelisk, so far it is the largest obelisk ever discovered. In fact, archaeologists believe that the female pharaoh known as Hatshepsut sanctioned its construction. Though modern engineers speculate whether or not the Dynastic Egyptians could have constructed such a structure.

“It is nearly one third larger than any ancient Egyptian obelisk ever erected. If finished it would have measured around 42 m (approximately 137 feet) and would have weighed nearly 1,200 tons. Aside from the problem of shaping it, how were they presuming to lift it out of the quarry?”  Brien Foerester

He states that some academics believe the obelisk was shaped with diorite stones (such as those seen in the above photo). However, Brien does note that diorite has a hardness, out of 10 on the Mohs scale (diamond being 10) of 6 to 7, which is basically the same hardness as the granite. As a result, this technique would would have been extremely unproductive.

AlienSkullCuscoPeru2It is yet to be known how old and whether or not the body described below belongs to an alien race or is a different human species (which would both be significant since neither are present in history books) until the sample of this strange skeleton can be carbon dated and a DNA test done. But based on what I see, I can tell with great certainty that whoever it is, he or she does not look like my neighbor.

It was a regular morning when I was invited to explore the surroundings of Cusco during my first month after moving to Peru in April 2009. It was a friend of mine who took me around to see some interesting stones in one of the local museums in Huaru near Cusco.

Even though my curiosity was well ignited, more so, I was glad to shatter my loneliness which had become my first friend in Peru.

Visiting the museum was quite impressive. The echo of the ancient world was heard among the unusual stones. Among other things, there were two items, which attracted my attention most in that moment. One of them was a stone which made different sounds when knocked on with another stone. Playing it like a drum, I was naturally trying to understand the phenomena. Then leaving the concert behind, I moved to another stone which was about three foot long and appeared to be perfectly drilled through.
