WHY ARE WE ATTACKING SYRIANS WHO ARE FIGHTING ISIS - politics - Duration: 3:59.
WHY ARE WE ATTACKING SYRIANS WHO ARE FIGHTING ISIS?
Just when you thought our Syria policy could not get any worse, last week it did.
The US military twice attacked Syrian government forces from a military base it illegally occupies
inside Syria.
According to the Pentagon, the attacks on Syrian government-backed forces were �defensive�
because the Syrian fighters were approaching a US self-declared �de-confliction� zone
inside Syria.
The Syrian forces were pursuing ISIS in the area, but the US attacked anyway.
The US is training yet another rebel group fighting from that base, located near the
border of Iraq at al-Tanf, and it claims that Syrian government forces pose a threat to
the US military presence there.
But the Pentagon has forgotten one thing: it has no authority to be in Syria in the
first place!
Neither the US Congress nor the UN Security Council has authorized a US military presence
inside Syria.
So what gives the Trump Administration the right to set up military bases on foreign
soil without the permission of that government?
Why are we violating the sovereignty of Syria and attacking its military as they are fighting
ISIS?
Why does Washington claim that its primary mission in Syria is to defeat ISIS while taking
military actions that benefit ISIS?
The Pentagon issued a statement saying its presence in Syria is necessary because the
Syrian government is not strong enough to defeat ISIS on its own.
But the �de-escalation zones� agreed upon by the Syrians, Russians, Iranians, and Turks
have led to a reduction in fighting and a possible end to the six-year war.
Even if true that the Syrian military is weakened, its weakness is due to six years of US-sponsored
rebels fighting to overthrow it!
What is this really all about?
Why does the US military occupy this base inside Syria?
It�s partly about preventing the Syrians and Iraqis from working together to fight
ISIS, but I think it�s mostly about Iran.
If the Syrians and Iraqis join up to fight ISIS with the help of Iranian-allied Shia
militia, the US believes it will strengthen Iran�s hand in the region.
President Trump has recently returned from a trip to Saudi Arabia where he swore he would
not allow that to happen.
But is this policy really in our interest, or are we just doing the bidding of our Middle
East �allies,� who seem desperate for war with Iran?
Saudi Arabia exports its radical form of Islam worldwide, including recently into moderate
Asian Muslim countries like Indonesia.
Iran does not.
That is not to say that Iran is perfect, but does it make any sense to jump into the Sunni/Shia
conflict on either side?
The Syrians, along with their Russian and Iranian allies, are defeating ISIS and al-Qaeda.
As candidate Trump said, what�s so bad about that?We were told that if the Syrian government
was allowed to liberate Aleppo from al-Qaeda, Assad would kill thousands who were trapped
there.
But the opposite has happened: life is returning to normal in Aleppo.
The Christian minority there celebrated Easter for the first time in several years.
They are rebuilding.
Can�t we finally just leave the Syrians alone?
When you get to the point where your actions are actually helping ISIS, whether intended
or not, perhaps it�s time to stop.
It�s past time for the US to abandon its dangerous and counterproductive Syria policy
and just bring the troops home.

A Request To The Universe – A Shift In Abundance Is Necessary! - Duration: 8:06.
A Request To The Universe � A Shift In Abundance Is Necessary!
Last evening there was a significant shift in energies, and one that lead me to making
some demands of the Universe on behalf of the collective consciousness.
Perhaps a merging of the masculine and feminine energies is underway, but for sure something
shifted.
So here goes!
Dear Universe
There are many of us light workers who are in very uncomfortable positions at the moment,
I do not speak of future or past, I speak of here and now, at this very moment.
It is the truth of so many, including myself, and yet we continue to do the necessary work
within ourselves, and the collective consciousness.
We have fought many a battle before, the most important to reach a place of Being, we have
discovered our true authentic self.
We do not complain or lower our vibrations, we simply soldier on in love.
Among us there are many who really do not have the means to provide for themselves or
their families on a day by day basis.
Yet we continue to have faith in all that we are.
We observe others who are intent on causing chaos on the planet.
We observe others who continue to manipulate and prosper in their own worlds.
We observe others who really have no concern for the ongoing survival of this planet.
We observe others who quite happily take advantage of the few.
We observe others who exercise their control and power through propaganda and laws.
Yet we, the few, continue to have faith in all that we are and will ever be, for we are
love.
We continue to share our unconditional love with our fellow man.
We continue to help and guide others so that they too may see what we see.
We continue to stand up against the others who are determined to spread illusions.
Today, us few, are struggling to survive, yet we make do with what we have.
This is what you, dear Universe, have shown us is the way forward, in love and compassion.
In peace and harmony, with a common voice and determination to change the dynamics that
are presented on a daily basis.
We are BEing, because we are LOVE.
We continue to appreciate all that you have shown and provided for us, yet we sit here
barely surviving.
Many of us face dilemmas on a daily basis, yet we continue to hold faith in all that
we are, that all is well, and the path we are going is meant to be this way.
We have detached ourselves from all expectations and possible outcomes, and here we are today.
We bear witness to the struggle of the billions who have no basic means of survival.
They have no water, electricity or food to nourish themselves.
Today, for the record, there are many light workers who too are in the same position.
As I, the creator of this message, stand before you, in my full vulnerability request that
you help us to shift the flow of abundance to one and all.
We are at the stage of being barely able to survive within the framework today.
It is true the rich get richer, and the poor get poorer.
It is this imbalance that needs to change.
So I request of you, the Universe, and the collective consciousness, to help all of us
light workers.
We have done a tremendous job of clearing so many aspects of our existence.
We have vigorously protected the one essence that is of more value than all the gold on
this planet, Love.
Throughout our journeys we have endured so many things and situations, that only our
belief and faith in the love that exists within is the way forward.
We have had the love beaten from us, yet somehow, throughout all of this, we have discovered
the love remains within.
We have carefully and meticulously examined every nook and cranny of our lives, and that
of others, to reignite that eternal flame.
Yes, we are the frontrunners, the trailblazers, the twin flames, the advanced souls.
Yes we have dedicated our life to revealing the Violet Flame that exists within each of
us.
As front runners, we have sent a message to humanity that now is the time to wake up and
enjoy the ever present love within.
We are the catalysts for change, and we believe wholeheartedly in our own missions and path.
We are love.
We are proud to be love.
We have nothing to hide.
Today, I humbly request that you shift the dynamics of abundance to those that are leading
the way forward.
It is time for this shift.
We have endured and worked hard, and we are worthy of everything.
We have demonstrated our commitment to a common cause and goal, of sharing unconditional love
to humanity.
We have an understanding and will always carry the wisdom to effect the changes necessary.
We are rich with love, yet we live in a world that requires more than that for us to survive
and prosper.
Now is the time that we all come together, the challenges we face are now very clear
to see.
It is our duty and responsibility to continue this transformation of Gaia.
This is what you, the universe, asked of us and what we agreed or volunteered to do.
We made a deal, together, that this is our task and role today.
I ask that you now to provide us with the necessary financial abundance so that we may
effectively begin to live our true life path.
I ask you to unite each and every one of us � especially those souls that are predestined
to be in union during this incarnation.
Unite us one and all so that the pure love essence be spread amongst those that cannot
see or feel it.
We are ready, we are prepared, we are willing and we are now more than able.
I ask you to trust us completely to continue this quest, so that we may once again prosper,
as we were meant to.
It is time for the flow of financial abundance to come to us all, because we all are worthy
of it.
To survive is one thing, but now it is time for us to live all that we know to be true.
Thank you for all that you provide us on a daily basis, we are truly grateful.
Please trust us, and provide for us the necessary abundance needed to continue our work.
There is no need to break us again, we have learned our lessons necessary.
We accept full responsibility for humanity, and kindly ask you to reward us in a way that
we can now live in our true capacity.
Allow us to reach the hearts and souls of the billions on this planet.
Allow us to light the lives of the 3 billion who live without power and water daily.
Allow us to teach all there is about unconditional love, and allow us
to share it freely among us all.

Four Reasons Why College Degrees Are Becoming Useless - tech and science - Duration: 7:43.
Four Reasons Why College Degrees Are Becoming Useless
Students are running out of reasons to pursue higher education.
Here are four trends documented in recent articles:
Graduates have little to no improvement in critical thinking skills
The Wall Street Journal reported on the troubling results of the College Learning Assessment
Plus test (CLA+), administered in over 200 colleges across the US.
According to the WSJ, �At more than half of schools, at least a third of seniors were
unable to make a cohesive argument, assess the quality of evidence in a document or interpret
data in a table�.
The outcomes were the worst in large, flagship schools: �At some of the most prestigious
flagship universities, test results indicate the average graduate shows little or no improvement
in critical thinking over four years.�
There is extensive literature on two mechanisms by which college graduates earn higher wages:
actually learning new skills or by merely holding a degree for the world to see (signaling).
The CLA+ results indicate that many students aren�t really learning valuable skills in
college.
As these graduates enter the workforce and reveal that they do not have the required
skills to excel in their jobs, employers are beginning to discount the degree signal as
well.
Google, for example, doesn�t care if potential hires have a college degree.
They look past academic credentials for other characteristics that better predict job performance.
Shouting matches have invaded campuses across the country
It seems that developing critical thinking skills has taken a backseat to shouting matches
in many US colleges.
At Evergreen State College in Washington, student protests have hijacked classrooms
and administration.
Protesters took over the administration offices last month, and have disrupted classes as
well.
It has come to the point where enrollment has fallen so dramatically that government
funding is now on the line.
The chaos at Evergreen resulted in �anonymous threats of mass murder, resulting in the campus
being closed for three days.� One wonders if some of these students are just trying
to get out of class work and studying by staging a campus takeover in the name of identity
politics and thinly-veiled racism.
The shouting match epidemic hit Auburn University last semester when certain alt-right and Antifa
groups (who are more similar than either side would admit) came from out of town to stir
up trouble.
Neither outside group offered anything of substance for discourse, just empty platitudes
and shouting.
I was happy to see that the general response from Auburn students was to mock both sides
or to ignore the event altogether.
Perhaps the Auburn Young Americans for Liberty group chose the best course of action: hosting
a concert elsewhere on campus to pull attention and attendance away from both groups of loud
but empty-headed out-of-towners.
Of the students who chose not to ignore the event, my favorite Auburn student response
was a guy dressed as a carrot holding a sign that read, �I Don�t CARROT ALL About Your
Outrage.
Trade schools and self-study offer better outcomes for many
College dropouts are doing just fine, bucking the stereotype.
Some determined young people are skipping college altogether to pursue their business
ideas.
Many are also choosing trade schools, which require less time and tuition money, but graduates
end up with a specific set of skills.
Trade school graduates leave school prepared for the industry they enter, where they can
earn much higher wages than many four-year degree-holders.
Young men in particular are leaving colleges in droves.
Over the past decade, 30% of male freshmen dropped out before starting a second year.
The journalists, psychologists, and sociologists who comment on this trend can�t figure out
how to fit it into a narrative [emphasis mine]:
�This is very concerning to me,� Hunter Reed said.
Young men � like all students, she emphasized � need support from a variety of groups
to thrive in higher education.
�The most successful have a sense of place in college,� she said.
Stark, 28, studied computer science for a year and a half before leaving Metro State
University to study on his own.
Now a software engineer for a music company in Denver, Stark also DJs at some of the area�s
most notable nightclubs.
�What I was getting in the classroom just didn�t jibe with me.
I felt I could teach myself on the Internet,� he said.
He worked a fast-food job and then took a corporate gig to support himself while he
studied on his own.
The alternative, he said, was to work four years to get a bachelor�s degree and then
another year or two to earn a master�s degree, then �go to work for some huge company and
go home at night and live my life with my family.
And that just didn�t sound appealing to me at the time.�
Notice the call for helping these poor young men �thrive in higher education� that
precedes a small anecdote about one man who dropped out and ended up just fine.
Later in the same article, the author says that young men shouldn�t assume they will
do well if they drop out, but then equivocates by turning it into a gender wage-gap problem
to explain how some men do seem to turn out fine after dropping out:
Observers say many young men delude themselves into thinking they are one idea away from
being the next Bill Gates or Steve Jobs.
They think they can make a fortune without a college degree, said Riseman.
�As a result, they enter college with little sense of purpose and end up failing out,�
he said.
�While these dropouts imagine they can succeed without a degree, successful start-ups are
rare.�
While young men without degrees, in general, land higher-paying jobs than their female
peers, many of the top-paying jobs are in high-risk industries like oil and gas or manufacturing.
Tuition is increasing, but future earnings are decreasing
In another recent WSJ article, we see the financial consequences of these trends.
While tuition keeps climbing across the country, the prospective earnings of graduates aren�t
keeping up.
There is a lot of variation across colleges and majors, but the overall trend is that
the returns to a four-year degree are decreasing.
Since students are just getting started in life, it means that they must borrow to pay
for these expensive degrees that don�t guarantee higher earnings.
Total student loans are at $1.3 trillion and climbing.
These loans have no collateral and cannot be dissolved through bankruptcy.
The New York Fed tracks the delinquency rate for different types of loans.
As of the first quarter of 2017, total student loan debt was increasing the most and had
the highest delinquency rate.
These trends are unsustainable.
The higher education system seems to be suffering from both economic and cultural issues, but
these two types of problems often cause each other in a feedback loop.
The ultimate cause for both of them is political.
