Why Is Syria The Most Important Country In The World Right Now?

Tyler Durden's picture




 

As President Obama's attention has now drifted from the 'humanitarian' mission in Iraq (which initially saw major initial inflows of Jihadists from around the world) to his real goal, we thought the following, somewhat disturbing, map of foreign fighter inflows to Syria would serve to provide context for just what local 'moderate' terrorists will be fighting (for the US) against. Welcome to The New Normal Crusades...

There is no price Greater Israel is unwilling to make the Goy of the world pay for their Lebensraum and pipeline to Europe.

Not exactly, and if you'd ever been to the middle east you'd know this. 

Elites will be elites no matter where they happen to reside. They all want power and many sold out their own people to militarily superior colonizers (in the true sense or just economic or otherwise) in order to acquire nominal power and loot (and bitches) for themselves.

The rest of the numbers come from another "private" intelligence and security outfit, the Soufan Group

The buzz terms all these "folks" use are "radicalization" or "extremism".  Islam is not mentioned.  The targets are obviously broader.  Wonder how much time is spent investigating us.

I wonder if part of the US /bankers plan is to allow ISIL to remain a big enough threat so that all the other OPEC countries will suck up to US. The US just won't wipe ISIL off the map.

Look what happened when we took Sadam Hussain out? No longer fearful of the necessary madman, they could thumb their noses as US.

So I think US will play up the threat of ISIL, but secretly will be waving them on. Why do you think they left all those weapons with the Iraqi government?

the explanation that seems to make sense; sort of; is that Saudia Arabia and Qatar want to help take down Assad in Syria. Saudi money has shown up before in places like caves in Pakistan when the Pakistanian army got righteously pissed and took back part of their country from the Pakistan Taliban. T he news release here that they're funded by a few crude oil trucks trundling across the desert from Iraq is absurd and pretty much proves compliticity on the part of the CIA.  The CIA has been into proxy armies for a long time; Al Qaeda was originally a CIA brainstorm to embarrass and distress Russia in Afghanistan. What the end game plan is; or if they even have one; I have no idea.

You should all realize this by now. The satanic psychopaths are running their plans to their script the Bible

Syria is the most important right now because they are behind schedule. So they need to pick up the pace.

Force the destruction of Damascus

Isaiah 17:1 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from [being] a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.

Force the spread of Ebola

Zechariah 14:12 -And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongues shall consume away in their mouth"

EBOLA - Medical description quotes

"The surface of the tongue will begin to take on a brilliant color red, which will eventually slough off. It may even be spat out or swallowed. Loosening of the tongue’s surface may be a result of vomiting."

"These spots will progress into becoming bruises as the skin becomes pulpy in texture. Rips will randomly appear as blood easily pours out. The skin is so weak that it easily tears with any movement of the patient. These manifestations will be followed by the skin beginning to liquefy and die. Each skin opening in the body will bleed, no matter how minuscule it is—even needle punctures."

Getting the picture yet?
