Mystery map

A large area undefined in the Syrian Golan is peopled and controlled by the Druze. It could only be an Israeli-protected area. Protectorate?  "There should be no doubt - we will not allow ISIS to reconstitute and take advantage of the current situation in Syria," said General Michael Erik Kurilla in a statement released by CENTCOM. Tahrir al-Sham is, in fact, a mutation of ISIS, although I may be wrong. General Mike Flynn, the former head of the Pentagon’s Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), warned his colleagues in the Obama administration, that supporting terrorist groups to prosecute proxy wars on Washington’s behalf, was a risky business that would eventually backfire leading to the establishment of ‘a Salafist principality in Syria.’ That warning has now become a reality.

Mike Whitney writes: The 13-year-old Syrian campaign is not really aimed at Syria, but Iran. Syria is just the last obstacle on the path to Tehran. Crush Iran and Israel take the ‘top spot’ in the Middle East; it becomes the regional hegemon overnight. Meanwhile—Uncle Sam gains access to the pipeline corridors it has sought for over 2 decades, corridors that will transport natural gas from Qatar to the Mediterranean and then onward to markets in Europe. The gas will be provided by a US puppet, extracted by Western oil companies, sold in US Dollars, and used to maintain a stranglehold on European politics. At the same time, all other competitors will be either sanctioned, sabotaged, or excluded entirely.

Vomited Out of the Land

The purity system of the Bible chiefly involved the Temple, sacrifices, and priestly gifts, all of which had to be guarded from ritual impurity. The penalty for polluting the Temple is karet, excision from the people of Israel. The Land had to be guarded from moral impurity lest the people of Israel be vomited out of the land as their predecessors had been. Corpse impurity was considered the most severe form of ritual impurity (avi avot ha- tumah), requiring sprinkling with waters of purification on the third and seventh days of the seven-day impurity. Death impurity was transferred not only by direct contact but also through the air of the enclosed tent or building or—according to rabbinic law—by overshadowing and grave fluids. Based on Leviticus 18:25

Wake Up North

The Uri Tzafon movement stated: "We came here as preparation for a settlement and to remember Yehuda Dror. Maroun al-Ras is the Israelite village of May Marom. Yehuda fell in battle in Ayta ash-Shaab, where Jewish priests once lived. With G-d's help, we will one day return to Lebanon where Jews once lived.

Al-Julani ante-portas

 

The Syrian rebellion is succeeding and they conquered Kuneytra on the border with Israel. The Syrian army evacuates the Golan. Assad fled to Iran. 

Is it good for the Jews? Apparently, it is.

What about me? It is 7.00 PM and I spent my day in distractions. Please, God, focus my mind on my projects!

P.S.: Worked till 01.00 AM and completed the Brenner project. Slept till 10.00 AM. Now comes the Ariel Industrial Park document, with Claude's help.

Wrong decision

 
Yesterday, I sold ICL and bought TEVA. Today, ICL announced a large order from China, and the stock rose 5.78%, while TEVA +1.82. This was not a sudden decision; I had meditated for months on this move. 

ICL Group Ltd. has announced this morning significant framework agreements to supply 2.5 million metric tons of potash to China from 2025 to 2027, with potential for an additional 960,000 metric tons.

I feel sick, and slept late. 

P.S.: The day ended with the portfolio +1.1

Next morning: TEVA jumps 2%.

Microplastics Shrink Penises

“The ubiquitous existence of microplastics and nanoplastics raises concerns about their potential impact on the human reproductive system,” the study, published in the journal Toxicological Sciences, states.

“Limited data exists on microplastics within the human reproductive system and their potential consequences on sperm quality.” To find out more, the scientists tested 23 human testes, and 47 testes from pet dogs. Microplastic pollution was found in all 70 samples - though with “significant inter-individual variability.”

Sperm counts in western men have more than halved in the last few decades, with air pollution and exposure to pesticides frequently cited as factors. One expert believes that pollution is causing penises to shrink, as well as lowering sperm count.
