Epictetus blows me away

Epictetus (AD c. 55 – 135) was a Greek sage and Stoic philosopher.

“Most of what passes for legitimate entertainment is inferior or foolish and only caters to or exploits people's weaknesses. Avoid being one of the mob who indulges in such pastimes. Your life is too short and you have important things to do.

Be discriminating about what images and ideas you permit into your mind. If you yourself don't choose what thoughts and images you expose yourself to, someone else will, and their motives may not be the highest. It is the easiest thing in the world to slide imperceptibly into vulgarity. But there's no need for that to happen if you determine not to waste your time and attention on mindless pap.”

St. Louis media lynch mob is losing ground because of facts.
But when did facts ever stop a lynch mob, especially a union/ Black Panther mob bussed in from out of town?
I love the way that revealing the facts were said to be an assassination of Brown's character, while the assassination of the police officer's character was non stop.
I hope he gets to sue the pants off the media for this fraudulent registration drive in St. Louis.

"Democrats set up voter registration in front of Mike Brown memorial"
"Jessie Jackson seeks donations"
"Known serial liar Al Sharpton to speak at funeral"


Cash raised for Ferguson cop surpasses Brown donations...

I guess the mindless media find no problem when a Black cop shoots unarmed white kid?

No media outcry after BLACK cop kills young WHITE man...
No riots in Utah, No Sharpton, No Jackson, No CNN.
On the surface, the cases appear nearly identical: Michael Brown and Dillon Taylor, two young, unarmed men with sketchy criminal pasts shot to death by police officers two days apart.
Critics say there’s a reason for the discrepancy in media coverage: race. Mr. Brown was black and the officer who shot him was white. Mr. Taylor wasn’t black — he’s been described as white and Hispanic — and the officer who shot him Aug. 11 outside a 7-Eleven in South Salt Lake wasn’t white.
A sarcastic Sunday tweet from Valerie said,
“CNN Please! We need the name and home address of #DillonTaylor’s killer immediately. Why hasn’t he been arrested??!!!!!”
Critics of the disparity in coverage and outrage said that it is actually the Brown case that is the outlier: Statistics indicate that black-on-black crime is far more common than the case of a white-on-black crime. For homicide, for instance, the FBI in 2012 found that of the 2,648 black murder victims, some 2,412 were killed by fellow blacks and only 193 by whites. (Whites also were likely far more likely to be killed by fellow whites than by members of other races, according to the data.)

You won't see this in the "Mainstream" propaganda machine of ABC-NBC-CBS-CNN-MSNBC-NPR.
They left the news business years ago when propaganda began paying better than real journalism.

"No news organization should accept that kind of check from a committed ideologue of any stripe," wrote media critic Howard Kurtz in the Daily Beast "Even if every journalist hired with the cash from Soros' foundations is fair and balanced, to coin a phrase, the perception is terrible."
"We were appalled that his (Soros') name had not been included in the report, as if the company didn't think it was important or were trying to hide something."

PAPER: 'Myth of arctic meltdown'...

Satellite images show cap has GROWN...

Gore predicted it would be ICE-FREE by now...


"Summer ice cap is thicker and covers 1.7million square kilometres MORE than 2 years ago"


An area twice the size of Alaska was open water two years ago and is now covered in ice after the arctic ice cap has expanded for the second year in a row

I was just wondering what they do next when they run out of brown people with opium, or even white east europeans with gas. Turn-in? Maybe all those 1 in 100 social security numbers you see in the street or neighborhood, those 1%er capitalist pigs, will be next. Kind of a big population of pigs is it not? There key operational tactic is lying by omission. Not even the tv sleaze you do see.

The modern mass media's semipurposeful agenda is one of permanent revolution, permanent hysteria, and permanent chaos

The Mass Media operates with no set purpose except to subvert, uncreate, mock and destroy. It does not matter what the media destroys. Pointless subversion is the point of the media.


Another famous actress' nude photos dumped on the internet. Hacker says he got in to Apple's iCloud service

Let's remember, malice and titillation are the currencies of the internet. Trolls and hackers live for attention and to humiliate other people - especially famous people.

Apple must bear some of the blame for the gap in its security that allowed this breach. I hope its CEO, Tim Cook, is writing a letter of apology to Jennifer Lawrence, and the other celebrities affected.

What I think will be remembered from this mess - and, by the way, there are more leaks to come, according to the hacker - is how incredibly stupid the richest and most famous people in the world can be.

Duplicity: contradictory doubleness of thought, speech, or action.

Let those without sin cast the first stone.

When Journalists Commit Domestic Violence

"Lo and behold, it seems that the media itself has a domestic violence problem. Ten cases discovered at first Google. Which is twice as many, to be specific, as the five cases that have had the media in such a frenzy over domestic violence in the National Football League.

Where are these ten cases to be found? Two cases at ESPN, with the rest spread out over affiliates of ABC, CBS, NBC and, yes, the New York Times. And there are others for television stations not affiliated with the major networks. With all this massive focus on what the Wall Street Journal calls "moral preening" in the media about domestic violence in the NFL — isn't it a tad curious that the same "moral preening" is absent, that the camera never swings around to the media itself?"

Whether it's George Soros buying NPR reporters, ABC blowing up trucks to fake a story, CNN entering deals with Saddam Hussein to gain access, Dan Rather's embarrassing fraudulent report about President Bush or just their mindless one-sided trumpeting of Global Warming, they have been proven to be less than trustworthy.
They never did expose who was really the money behind the Ferguson riots, did they?

Now Brian has been exposed as another big liar.

With Iraq apology, ‘the most trusted journalists of our time’ digs himself a deeper hole
NBC News anchor Brian Williams, who apologized on the air Wednesday night for lying about an experience covering the Iraq War, is now facing scrutiny over his gripping accounts of Hurricane Katrina, the disaster that burnished his nightly news bona fides almost a decade ago.

Williams’ account of seeing a body float by in the French Quarter — which remained largely dry — and even a claim of catching dysentery from drinking Katrina floodwaters have raised eyebrows among bloggers and elsewhere since he took it on the chin this week over a claim that he rode in a helicopter that was downed by a rocket-propelled grenade in Iraq.
