Turkish President Recap Erdogan has made the news for opposing the applications of Finland and Sweden into NATO (Diplomatic Courier). He is also threatening to invade northern Syria and attack the Kurds of the US backed Free Syrian Army (Washington Examiner).

The overthrow of Syrian Baathist and Socialist President Bashir al-Assad might threaten Russian President for Life Vladimir Putin‘s naval base in Tartus. Now, with Putin’s attention on Ukraine, may be a time when the Free Syrian Army will make gains. Erdogan’s potential military move may take this opportunity away.

One of the major disadvantages of the Third Reich during WWII was it’s lack of naval power.

There was another time when the Free Syrian Army’s attempt to overthrow Assad was sabotaged. ISIS’s, or ISIL’s, involvement in the Syrian Civil War as a third force had more negative affects on rebel and opposition movements than on Assad’s regime. Currently their forces have been mostly neutralized in the nation.

ISIS is a Islamic apocryphal cult (Huffington Post). It is based on an Army that comes at the end times. It is led by one who is guided by an angel of Allah. If that leader dies another is chosen.

Here is another guy who thought he was led by an angel he found at the Bellingham WA YMCA.

On the left is the Death Chart of Barthelemy Boganda (4 April 1910 – 29 March 1959). Boganda was adopted by Catholic Priests in the French Equitorial Africa. He was ordained as a priest in 1938. He got involved in politics and created Movement for the Social Evolution of Black Africa (MESAN). He was defrocked because he married. Boganda’s work and diplomacy with the French government (including Charles De Gualle) led him to become the first Prime Minister of the Central African Republic. While traveling in 1959 a bomb exploded in his plane. No official blame has been established.

On the right is the birth chart of John Allen Muhammed (December 31, 1960 – November 10, 2009). Muhammed was half of the Highway Shooters along with Lee Boyd Malvo (see Case Study 28). Muhammed served in the Army beginning in 1978. He was stationed in Fort Lewis and Fort Ord. He was honorably discharged in 1994. Muhammed met Malvo and Allah at the Bellingham, WA YMCA. The two modified a car and went on a shooting spree known as the D.C. Sniper Attacks. Muhammed was sentenced to death and was executed by lethal injection in 2009.
