Apart from overall saga of #CalPERS (Re: #LA_Times pension funds match being cut) re: #CAFRs, remember most major newspapers have RICH owners & are bought&sold (as I just blogged),the LA_Times since 6/18/2018:owned by billionaire S-African Dr/ #Abraxane developr #PatrickSoonShiong https://twitter.com/johnmyers/status/1250239934717251585
This is so timely, along with his & wife Michelle’s purchase of a bankrupt hospital in LosAngeles wh drew attn of AttyGeneral #xavierBecerra for self-dealing (tho technically legal)
I’ve been encountering the Soon-Shion story for years; it ties into things @va_shiva was Podcasting recently—HUGE #bigPharma, how the rich use nonprofit status to set up empires of control//high-speed/capacity internet #CENIC needed 4medical(incl genetic)data-crunching & research

Politico descr it well, incl how this MD was being considered at one point by #PresIdentTrump to head the NIH, a truly disturbing prospect. Searchable on my blog (post dates,images this thread)

I first noted #CENIC {& so “ #Nantworks”} as a visitor on my blog wh/ by defntn is long-term observing US #DHHS becuz of its involvemt in (messing w/) #familycourts via #marriage_fatherhood/ #HMRF propaganda
As he did w/ the hospital, he did earlier w the NLR (NationalLamdarail), did NOT improve it.

For all the legit complaints of #PatrickSoonShiong’s exploitatn of tax-exemptn as empire-building, billionaires share the basic tactics. His blatant use maybe just blowing their cover.
