It speaks of displaced people, I was told that day before yesterday Turkey refused to let a US based non-government organization deliver a load of flour through the Turkish border to Northern Syria. The flour was donated to help feed the displaced people. 60-70,000 in the Rojava area. They have been allowing this to pass through, but now, just as the fighting in Raqqa is about to begin, they throw another problem in front of those trying to eliminate ISIS. A Swiss company has furnished the bakery. I was told the area required 30,000 loaves per day. There are some more smaller bakeries involved.

Exposure is difficult, in Muslim countries it is illegal to criticize the government. Exactly why there is a compact between the ComDems and the Islamists.
Totalitarianism in all forms is evil. Progressive Socialist Marxist Fascist Communist Dictator Islamist Bureaucrap. ALL Evil!

Have been trying to figure out how to best post it here.

It is difficult to convert .pdfs to readable text. They are loaded with format and printer control characters. It is intended to be impossible to do. It’s not.
Not yet, but there ought to be -- an independent Kurdistan from the Kurdish regions of Iraq, Syria, and Turkey, with a port on the Mediterranean to handle oil exports.
