The Internet is a Leo Too!!


from slate.com

    Came across this article on slate.com thought it was semi interesting,on Aug. 6, 1991, a scientist at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) named Tim Berners-Lee unveiled a project for organizing information that he called the World Wide Web. Of the many individual projects that went into creating the Internet as we know it, this was one of the most significant steps toward bringing the Internet to the general public. In honor of the World Wide Web’s 20th birthday party, we’ve dug up some embarrassing baby photos for the occasion.


In 1989, Berners-Lee submitted a proposal for a linked system of information to keep track of all the documents at the laboratory. He called it “Mesh” at the time, but later went with “World Wide Web.” His boss responded that the idea was “vague but exciting.”

Mike Bigga's "BURN" video ban lifted from B.E.T



From Vapors Magazine

“Our Modern day Martin and Malcolm’s are less concerned about us and more concerned about making studio albums”


   Yesterday I talked briefly on B.E.T but I forgot to add something. The video that they lifted from the ban was not a “bad” video. I realize some viewers may not be as familiar with Mike Bigga a.k.a Killer Mike as others, let me start by saying he is not your typical rapper who rappers about the “Holy Trinity” of rap money, cars, and clothes. He is an Atlanta native who is very much in tune with what is going on in his community as well as other communities around the world.

Black Evil Television






B.E.T has lifted the ban from Mike Bigga a.k.a Killer Mike’s video entitled “Burn”. The network originally banned the video for what they describe as the video having a violent nature and advocating violence. Meanwhile Lil Wayne and Drake can be on as many drugs as they would like and Rick Ross can sell 30 keys before 10am and shot 50 people before breakfast.

Fear Mongering

Phobia mongering






(excerpt from Big Rube, on the song called Phobia)

“…Yo senses heighten, reflexes Sharpen vision's enhanced adrenaline flows as they rush across the Street you leave the print from the heater grip in yo palm then yo heart
Rate and breathing drag back to normal as you realize these n*ggas just
Goin' to the store.

Many of us mistake Phobia for true fear. Whereas fear is a gift from
God to be used for self-preservation. Phobia are obstacles strategically
Placed in society by oppressers of positive existence. Through
Stereotyping, innuendo, false documentation, and glorification they'll
Turn your fear switch to a permanent on. We can change this by changing
The small truth within' the lie…”


   Today I want to discuss fear mongering in the media. Fear mongering is the use of fear to influence the opinions and actions of others towards some specific end. The feared object or subject is sometimes exaggerated, and the pattern of fear mongering is usually one of repetition, in order to continuously reinforced the intended effects of this tactic. Every American news outlet in the pass couple of days, have been talking about the emending “Armageddon” that would happen if the debt ceiling was not raised by yesterday.
