Reference to Syria:
The subtitle/ caption with photo at: http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/05/14/us-syria-crisis-idUSBRE94A05S20130514 says "BEIRUT - Syrian rebels including the al Qaeda-linked Nusra Front have
counter-attacked east of Damascus to retake a town that served as a
conduit for arms from Jordan into the capital before it was seized by
government forces last month, rebel sources said."
Another story here: http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/05/14/us-turkey-usa-idUSBRE94D0VX20130514
"Turkey's Erdogan to push Obama on Syria after bombings
...days after car bombs tore through a Turkish border town in the deadliest spillover of violence yet.
The bombings in Reyhanli, which
killed 50 people on Saturday, and activists' reports of a massacre of
Sunni Muslims in a Syrian coastal town have incensed Tayyip Erdogan,
already critical of the slow international response to the conflict."
What is the timeline going to be on
popular media that crystallizes all the facts? The situation
concerning Syria is very complex, and has many dimensions all of which are very sensitive. Is
the information that masses of people are able to ascertain through
media, affecting the turn-out of developments of the turbulence in
Syria?
In
the first 10 years after 9-11, al Qaeda was topping the list of
America's worst enemy. Now, there faces the entire world a situation
with al Qaeda in Syria angled in an awkward piece of a puzzle.
In other notes, how is
Nusra Front spelled in Arabic? What are the intended implications of
the name, and what are the realities?
A find for the name in Arabic:
جبهة النصرة لأهل الشام
The Arabic reads from
left to right. The last word in the Arabic phrase above, says Al-Sham.
Al-Sham does not always have exact equivocation to Syria as recognized
by everyone at all times all over the world, especially by Arabs who have strong in-depth knowledge of the culture and history of the region.
A transliteration of the phrase: Jabhat anNusrah li Ahl ashSha
Depending on the inflections and tenses
of some of these words, used to designate the terror group spoken of,
they are actually words used for persons that have absolutely nothing to
do with terror.

Signs of Terrifying Evil Assaults to Come
originally posted 5/13/2013
We wanted to give the people and authorities of
India a chance. So we gave them time, and thought that after the
horrific assault on a young woman a few months back that the trends
would die down. It is true, from the looks of it, that many of India
men and women, took active measures to subside and drive-out the sort of
activity that took place.
Even here in America, was recognized the severity of the incident.
So, we held our tongue, and did not say something that
might be a critical and valuable piece of information in slowing down
the sort of crime.
After the incident a Swiss woman was attacked while on a
tour of some sort, and there is the Masoom attack case, involving a 5
year old. Without all the details, which for the point being made here,
might not be needed, there is something clearly recognized.
The important information:
At certain times, meaning eras, there
are people, possibly under demonic-like influences, that will attempt
to compete, with other events that are very evil. They will try to
prove themselves the most evil, over other types of evil. They will try
to outshine everything else going on, by showing evil.
An illustration is,
the potential disfigurements of animals that could occur, if they had
prolonged stays in severely polluted areas, like the Pacific Trash
Vortex. Pollution effects the body and mind, the 'psychological
condition' of the animals. Then something happens. An attack on a
person, by the animal. Strange sightings and so on. Then, there are people that try to compete with the evil.
Another scenario is,
humans make marked positive progress, new computers are introduced which
allow us to do wonderful things, new airplanes, new cars, and the gifts
for living our lives. Stop, says these evil persons, stop paying
attention to good things, and pay attention to utter evil, which comes
in the form of their down to earth evil doings, no technology necessary.
The people that do these crimes are very close to
being almost like the devil in person. And act like the evil one at the
most evil.
After that wave, there comes a wave of persons even more evil.
Best to get it all sorted out and taken care of now.
In regard to the Swiss tourist attack, and the 5 year
old girl attack, the suspects that have been detained, according to
photos have the following similarities:
- very skinny
- wearing tight jeans
- have the 'salamander' character about themselves
Please take a moment to understand the emotions
of the man holding the sign [not pictured on this site yet, see it at http://static.indianexpress.com/pic/uploadedImages/bigImages/B_Id_378205_protester.jpg],
in the picture here-forth, in response to
the recent 5 year old girl attack, and remember, this happens in other
places, and to other people, only not caught and broadcast.

"In addition to the 5.4 million tonnes of uranium in known recoverable
resources, there are substantial amounts comprising what is known as
"unconventional resources". One of these is rare earths, in relation to
which China has a preeminent position as supplier. This gives rise to
commercial pressure for development of other deposits outside China.
Some of these contain significant uranium mineralisation."
