I don't have any new news or anything to add, but today has just seemed strange. People I've met in the last few days have seemed unusually pensive and nervous. It's not just me saying that either. People seem to be picking up on something coming on a not quite conscious level. To quote a close friend of mine, spooky things are afoot. Last night, we both saw Apaches flying overhead and we almost NEVER see those where we are.

By Gili Cohen | Jun.28, 2013 | 12:26 PM

Israel deployed the Iron Dome anti-missile defense system near Haifa on Friday. The deployment follows statements made by Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz and Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon regarding both Hezbollah and Syria.

Well, godzilla, on glp, war and total destruction is always a couple of hours away.

Everybody seems to have "secret" connections to "sources" in Israel, and those others have "secret" knowledge and understanding of the bible verses and gods ways.

The merger of these two, results in situations, where a minor event provokes a tornado running through this thread, where the "I told you so" crowds mergers with the "doom is great" crowd in one big orgasm.

The truth is different, and accessible with a basic understanding of things, people, places and events.

I will repost my thread a couple of pages ago, which didn't get any feedback, because it doesn't really fit into the "common mood":

Here it is anyways:
____________________________________________
Well, doomy mood is again rising, lets check the facts:

Assad is on the winning side, Aleppo is the next syrian graveyard, and iranian / irakian / hisbollah involvment is changing the war luck of the lion of damaskus.
We still fund the sunnies, more or less extremists from Quatar to the al quaeda spectrum.

BUT, some things changed:
1) The great US / Russia divide, being intensified by the snowden "incident".
2) The build up by the shiites to open the golan front, in one form or another
3) Egypt is on the brink.
4) Apparantly russia getting their peers out of Syria

The question now are the following:
1) Is the US or an alliance US/GB and some sunni moslem kingdoms changing the level of engagement in Syria ?

--> I don't believe that Obama is going to get involved in Syria, not with only 400 troops in Jordan and not without a consent at home and certainly not without a public campaign to get the americans behing the flag. Even dumb Bush and his minions constructed a public opinion to justify his attack on Irak.

2) Is Assad going to open a "Golan front", thus declaring and entering into a hot war with Israel ?

--> Certainly not ! Everything is fine for Assad, arms, munitions, troops are pouring into the country, for the first time since the terrorists attacked, it looks like he is actually winning, he probably is carving out a shiite/allawite syria for him.

3) Does Israel has any interest into getting involved in Syria ?

--> Not at all. Either outcome is bad. Either there are the shiites under Assad, or the sunni extremists under al quaeda.
Best outcome would be a syrian split up and infighting. It looks like this scenario is the more likely.

So up until now, there is no need for a doomy mood, true, the dance is on a razors edge, but states and organizations tend to take decisions to stabilize a situation and not to add risk to its environment.

Well aTOn, I will probably make you angry and for that I'm sorry. I'll admit I'm in a pretty bad mood right now, myself. I DID respond to your post, if you'll look just under your original one. But...I DON'T have any secrets, so I guess my response didn't fit YOUR agenda. Maybe, just maybe, we're all doomy, here in the states, because it's really sucky here right now. Every day, we get hit with some new surprise from the gov. that we're going to have to deal with. Most of them are totally impossible! I'm watching people I care about deal with complete sh*t in their lives that never happened before and shouldn't be happening now. I can't begin to explain to you what has happened here in just the last year. For so many of the people I know, they have taken all they can. Enough is enough. If that makes us look at the world differently than you see it, so be it. I wish I could see things the way you do, but I just can't anymore. I can't pretend that there aren't groups of people out there that want me and my family to die, just because of where I was born and the color of my skin. I saw and dealt with the Euro version of American hate. We were called names I won't repeat, we were spat upon, we had our things damaged and stolen, just because we were Americans. It didn't matter that we were poorer than most of our neighbors. Their kids only knew what they saw on tv.

As to any kind of secret faith...no. I have a very simple faith. I quit going to church years ago, because of the politics involved and the false teachings. I know who my Lord and Saviour is and why. I know the basics of the times we now live in. I leave the deep study to others. I don't need it. I know what I know to be truth and I know why I believe it. There is NO secret. I have ALWAYS spoken my mind, even when it meant it would/could cost me a great deal. That has never and WILL never change. I WILL tell my opinions to anyone that asks. I can't/won't guarantee they will be accepted or liked.

I'm sorry for the rant, but today, I've been lied to one too many times. I'm sick of game-playing and deceit in the people around me here (in home town). I've hit a brick wall and I've had enough, so when you posted that NO ONE had replied to your post when I had....

I hope we can agree to disagree and still be friends.

Assad backers reportedly make up 43 percent of dead in Syria

A new count of the dead in Syria by the group that’s considered the most authoritative tracker of violence there has concluded that more than 40 percent were government soldiers and pro-government militia members.

The new numbers from the London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights provide a previously unseen view of the toll the civil war has taken on communities that have supported the government. They also cast doubt on the widely repeated assertion that the government of President Bashar Assad is responsible for an overwhelming majority of the deaths there.

According to the new statistics, which the Syrian Observatory passed to McClatchy by phone, at least 96,431 people have lost their lives in the more than two years of violence that’s wracked Syria.

Of those, Syrian soldiers and members of the government’s security forces account for 24,617, while members of pro-government militias make up 17,031. Taken together, those deaths account for 43.2 percent of the total recorded.

Note -Assad backers here means the people who are fighting for Assad. Add in civilian supporters and I'm guessing a large majority of dead are "Assad backers"

Egypt? Syria? Israel? Jordan? In the middle of a Mid-East trip, in the UAE, Kerry abruptly left for emergency meetings in Jordan...

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is planning to announce the convention of a peace summit aimed at renewing negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians on Saturday, Jordanian newspaper Ad-Dustor reported.

The summit will take place in Amman and will include representatives of the United States and Jordan, in addition to Israeli and Palestinian negotiators.

According to the report, Kerry intended to formally announce the summit at the press conference he was slated to hold Saturday at the U.S. embassy in Amman. The press conference, meant to have been held in the afternoon hours, was postponed. According to a senior Israeli official, it will be held after Kerry's Saturday meetings with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are concluded.

I'm sorry for the rant, but today, I've been lied to one too many times. I'm sick of game-playing and deceit in the people around me here (in home town). I've hit a brick wall and I've had enough, so when you posted that NO ONE had replied to your post when I had....

I hope we can agree to disagree and still be friends.

No, you do not make me angry. I know you have a good heart.

I am on this thread since the beginning. In older times we used to analyze events and try to put them into a broader picture.

Today we panic at minor events and analyze "scripture", "dreams" and "bible verses", while others "bump" without giving any inside but "pmp", "you got mail" and so on.

What I said above stands, and I do not retract it.

And yes, I am sorry, that I didn't see your response to my thread. I am here not that often anymore, and looking through tenth of pages of the above does not help to keep up "attention".

And yes, I always liked your threads. And, btw, for your hometown, in france we say: courage, meaning bravery in english :-).

Most of the time we get angry at things, we do not judge worthy of getting angry at, a couple of months later.
I'd say, if something would still anger you in your life after you have left this earth, than it is worth and right to be angry here right now.
