Saved in September of this year. More pertinent then ever in light of the fact that the US and their Kurdish proxies are intending to stay and continue stealing Syria's oil. Denying Damascus badly needed rebuilding revenue.LinkThis report is from the Syrian Network for Human Rights- For the purpose this post we're going to focus on one aspect of this report. That is the Kurdish smuggling of oil- with no accountability- Not including their sales to Damascus. Which I take issue with for entirely different reasons.

Is this a threat? It certainly could be perceived as one. Link

  Did you spot the contradiction in the headline? Hot Air can't Leave me Cold.And "global warming" can't be the cause of record cold and snow in the fall/autumn. As we bask in January like temperatures here, with 30 cms/ 12 inches of snow just outside, the question is ... where's the warming?- Cold being the absence of heat and it's unusually abnormally cold. And global warming, aka AGW, aka human caused carbon warming, cannot bring the cold.

Yesterday was a crazy windy day. On crazy windy days one heads to Lake Erie. With the hopes that a seiche is occurring.  Image below is included with wiki article explaining difference in Lake Erie levels during a 2003 seiche.   We weren't disappointed. Below are two of a couple dozen images we took yesterday.

 This soon to come guerilla warfare/irregular warfare is exactly what I'd expect to occur.Hubby and I were discussing this the other day.  Turkey's made a great deal of progress in a short time. Which is suggestive to me, that much like their ISIS symbiotic partners, the PKK Kurds are employing the same tactic of walking or running away. The exception being ISIS always walked away when the PKK came there way and didn't come back.  That will not be the case with the Turkish or Syrian Army. There will be attacks. There is NO deal between the PKK Kurds and Damascus.

Oh, I thought “the house was on fire”? Yet, cold is the absence of warmth.. Watch out North! Manitoba is going to be hit

 In the report dated Thursday, October 3, 2019, titled: Syria Sitrep: Constitutional Talks,Turkey, Russia, Iran & Iraq Colour Revolution 3.0? the latest upheaval in Iraq was mentioned. Far from spontaneous this 'cry for freedom' has been years in the making. These latest protests have deep roots.
