Well, isnt this interesting? Brian Calle, whos running LA Weekly now, worked for years and was an officer at the Claremont Institute. Their mission statement lays out exactly how they want their people to infiltrate civic life & defeat progressivism. Maybe thru a newspaper??

You do know Brian Calle is tied to #TrumpRussia right? Also, look up one of the new owners, Makarechian, and his organization called GenNext: here's a sampling of what they do (spoiler alert: they're shadow brokers):

Brian Calle is also followed by Artem Klyushin; prolly just a coincidence though 😉

Here's an article that Brian Calle wrote that starts "Putin had no choice but to annex Crimea." And then he actually compares Putin's fraudulent approval ratings with Obama's as a point of argument why invading a foreign territory is morally correct. http://www.ocregister.com/2014/03/30/arthur-b-laffer-brian-calle-advantage-putin/

LAist: gone. LAWeekly: gone. I've lived here 40+ years and don't remember ever feeling this disconnected from my city, at least not in this century.
