A mass grave containing THOUSANDS of slaughtered innocent victims of the so called Islamic State has been discovered in northern Syria. The discovery came to light after Kurdish YPG forces recaptured the town of Suluk, 11 miles from the Turkish border and 30 miles from the ISIS stronghold of Raqqa. ISIS militants blindfolded their victims and tortured them before throwing them over the edge of a ravine.
The press, it appears, is a bit lost in their own lurid presentations of reality in the projected battle of good vs evil that the 2016 election has become. By way of public service, Nassim Taleb has created a simple "cheat sheet" to clarify in his words "with more rigor" what reality is, instead of "through the eyes of idiots."

One of the most popular apps these days is Snapchat. It allows the sender to set a timer for any photo dispatched via the app, so that a few seconds after the recipient opens the message, the photo is automatically deleted. The evidence of what you did at that party last night is seen and then disappears. POOF!
The state of Israel was created on the back of the sufferings of Palestinians who were deceived by their Colonial rulers who allowed the Zionist state to take shape. Since its conception Israel has been on a path to eradicate Palestinian Arabs from their historical land and to expand its territory. Every step of the way Israel has acted as the victim instead of the aggressor. It does this to distract from the physical reality of its actions by focusing on the response from its victims, which like most cases of injustice is a sense of outrage and a lashing out.
