ex cathedra: MSM fun

MSM fun

I no longer watch TV. Since November 2011. All my info comes via internet. So hooking up to the MSM news to find out what's happening with the Boston bombing is a bit of a shock.

NBC news has Brian Williams chatting with some "expert" about the situation around the two Muslim Chechen brothers who are apparently the perpetrators. The older one spent 6 months back in Russia last year. And his YouTube page is full of Islamic videos about jihad.

Mr Wilson and friend tell us that so far, the bombers' motivation remains unknown.

(About the marathon bombers) Given everything that i've seen and know, I think that it was the older brother who was the brains the main motivator and the younger brother was just kind of sucked in and following his older brother.

My question is, do you think this is a legitimate "intuition" (for lack of a better word), or is it just that I find him kind of cute/adorable/sweet (in some pictures) and thus I am just trying to minimize his guilt somewhat without realizing it? Like 500 years ago, they used to think that someone's facial features could be predictors of someone's disposition. Is that irrational "racism/looks-ism" or is there something a bit more real to it?; 8:38 PM, April 19, 2013
Anonymous said...: So glad they captured the younger brother. But according to David Sirota, that means I have no soul, and he was lamenting that people were not presuming him innocent. Duh, he's on video with the bomb, moron!

I'm inclined to agree with Advocatus. The fact that the older brother had a bomb vest on, and not the brother, suggests to me that the older was the point man, and the brother was dragged into this. It does not excuse his actions, he's well over the age of reason, but it does seem like Older was manipulating Younger.

Will be fascinating to hear what he has to say when they start interrogating him. He wasn't read Miranda Rights, so gloves are off now. And kudos to Lindsay Graham for wanting him tried as an enemy combatant.; 8:35 AM, April 20, 2013

As for the younger's culpability, he's a legal adult.; 11:57 AM, April 20, 2013

Toward Our Future

What the sons of Europa need is a new religion: one that is as tribal, portable and survivalist as Judaism, as masculine, terrestrial and tough as Islam and as intellectually and aesthetically creative as Christianity...with a dose of the unflinching realism of the ancestral ways of the Greeks and Romans, Germans and Celts and Slavs..And for the larger Indo-European frame, something of the Indian capacity to combine an ultimate and philosophical realization of The One with a robustly mytho-poetic religion on-the-ground. Oh, and some of the psychological acumen of Buddhism.

Liberalism's Basic Flaw

Liberals believe that the chief role of the State is to force everyone to be equal, (ie, take vengeance on the successful). So when they are confronted with any group that they deem less well off than themselves, they are morally disarmed, completely and utterly. Any group that can achieve Victim Status is on their way to power and the (White) liberal's only job is to give them what they want, no matter how much that damages him. And nothing may ever be expected, much less demanded, of them in return. It's a recipe for suicide: no other outcome is possible.
