Another "Giant" using his talents of wealth and power for ill will soon be cast down:
Jesus Christ received power over all, he employed it, and that presently, to the good of all; by which example he seemed to speak unto us, as well as to his disciples, and say: You that are giants of the earth,and have received great power, strength, health, wealth, wisdom, learning, or any other Talent, from the hands of God, use it not to the wrong, and oppression of the weaker sort, nor any other wickedness or ill example of others, as those giants aforesaid did; you know what happened unto the Princes of the Madianites as aforesaid; I am the same I was then, I say no more but this, Potent men, if they abuse their potency, shall be potently punished, when time is. ~ Fr Thomas Hill 1634Behind Peter Thiel's Plan To Destroy Gawker
As FORBES revealed in late May, Thiel is the clandestine financier of numerous lawsuits targeting Gawker Media, the New York-based company whose biting style of journalism has grated on the egos and sullied the reputations of some of the world’s most powerful people. The most damaging lawsuit–an invasion-of-privacy case revolving around a sex tape of the wrestler Hulk Hogan (real name, Terry Bollea)–recently resulted in a $140 million jury award and a national debate on the rights of celebrities versus the rights of a publication to disseminate what it considers to be newsworthy. The revelation that Thiel paid Hogan’s lawyers–to the tune of about $10 million–has transformed that discussion. Gawker, supported by free-speech advocates like eBay founder Pierre Omidyar and Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, has denounced Thiel’s gambit as an attempt to permanently snuff out an unpopular media outlet through aggressive litigation. Thiel, lauded by a host of other Silicon Valley heavy hitters who have felt Gawker’s wrath, from Chris Sacca to Vinod Khosla, has described his efforts as “one of my greater philanthropic things,” helping those who have been wronged by a “singularly terrible bully.” Forbes Read More>>>>>>
