#43 Blogging

Posted by Tarus on Thursday, November 18, 2010, In : Did you know...? 

In a brief conversation with a sistah, I found her childlike  fascination with the idea of how quickly one might setup an online blog site amusing. More importantly, I got a chance to mention just how necessary it was for people to use this medium as a way to cultivate one's personal voice in a presently 'Free-Speech' society. My simple opinion was that the more you write the better you become @organizing your own thoughts... usually; besides, I tend to believe that all the constant drafting ...

#42 BE's strained optimism

Posted by Tarus on Wednesday, November 17, 2010, In : Did you know...? 

Like all conduits of marketing that lead to well established venues of self-consuming capitalist ideology, Black Enterprise Magazine is a powerhouse in the black community probably because there is no viable wealth to speak of and hence, no competition; after all, who wants to expend energies for a majority share of an already rapidly depleted market, especially when  that market is likely to come over to your side anyway of it's own volition? With it's near absolute control on commanding the...

#40 The Real Spirit of Education

Posted by Tarus on Monday, November 15, 2010, In : Did you know...? 

Did you know that one's Degree doesn't necessarily connote a higher level of intelligence. I have known and still do know of individuals black & white, who sincerely believe that just because they have a degree they are somehow more intelligent or intellectual. Their unshakable faith in the current model of education has them believe that the collegiate institutions have inculcated them with precious knowledge; Yeah (sarcasm), it's more like the institutions have imbued them with a sense of g...

#28 Chem Trials

Posted by Tarus on Wednesday, October 27, 2010, In : Did you know...? 

We don't know who struck first, us or them. But we do know it was us that scorched the sky.
- Morpheus, Captain of the Nebuchadnezzar
(The Matrix 1999) 


In the new documentary by reality zone, what in the world are they spraying, we get a first hand look at what sinister and certainly unwarranted liberties governments and other unknown clandestine entities have taken on our skies. They are spraying something! So find out what! And find out why!

Ultimately the question is this: By what secret ...

#25 Invasive MO of The MDPD

Posted by Lamont Cranston on Saturday, October 23, 2010, In : Did you know...? 

Did you know that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has only approved test use of unmanned aircraft drones for the Miami-Dade Police Department? 

Apparently, this constitutes their new modus operandi (MO). Of course, it's all for those damnable drug smugglers...Right! Think again! In an article by Z Magazine titled, Drones Over America by Mike Reizman [Z magazine, Issue September 2010], the FAA has also set up for implementation of this technology in Miami civilian law-enforcement. Wh...

#21 Exit Windows, Enter Linux

Posted by Tarus on Thursday, October 14, 2010, In : Did you know...? 

Did you know that there is a viable alternative to using the proprietary Windows OS (Operating System) altogether?

It's called Linux, named for the Linux kernel written by Finnish computer software engineer, Linus Torvalds in 1991. It was designed as a portable-Unix-type operating system. The wonderful thing about Linux is that it operates on an Open Source Ideology or Initiative; essentially that means, that anyone can manipulate the (source) code, as it is made readily available to all. How...

#20 Mind over Matter

Posted by Tarus on Wednesday, October 13, 2010, In : Did you know...? 

Did you know that it is very much indeed possible to break through the barricades of conventional thought and literally bend life in your direction?

Typically, so many of us are bogged down by the incessant demands of mere subsistence, that we never really give sufficient time to the shaping of our minds in the hopes of ascertaining what it is really, we want to achieve. Worse than this however, is the short-circuiting of a burgeoning desire/passion in some individual young or old by some gua...

#16 Something In The Water

Posted by Lamont Cranston on Monday, October 4, 2010, In : Did you know...? 

Did you know that we are drinking fluoridated-water everyday? Fluoride, sounds familiar doesn't it? Well, that's because many of us brush our teeth with toothpaste containing that very substance. Believe it or not, there are untold dangers regarding our consumption of this highly toxic by-product of smelting ore for precious metals. Here are but a few reasons to be concerned and perhaps enough to conduct your own investigations: It is an acute toxin with a rating just above that of (get this)...

#10 Barefoot Economics Part 1/2

Posted by Tarus on Friday, September 24, 2010, In : Did you know...? 
The Chilean economist, Manfred Max - Neef, defines the present-day economic situation in a very interesting and illuminating way. Bare-Foot Economics is his evolutionary process to how a typical grade-A economist comes to know and understand life on its terms...as it really is vs the bulleted powerpoint presentations of some executive boardroom meeting.

#5 The Word - Ghetto

Posted by Tarus on Thursday, September 16, 2010, In : Did you know...? 
Did you know that blacks were NOT the first to reside in what's commonly referred to as ...Ghettos?

Originally, the word was used to refer to the poor living spaces set aside for Jews throughout western nations, especially in Russia. It is widely believed that the word itself is a derivative of a word in Venetian vernacular, ghetor or ghet, which means slag - an unwanted byproduct of smelting ore for valuable minerals; supposedly, there was a foundary off one of the islands of Venice in which...
