ISIS controls 'everything' in ancient city of Palmyra - CNN.com

"The world does not care about us.  

All they are interested in is the stones of ancient Palmyra."

~(26-Year-Old Palmyra Resident)~

But Palmyra,

which is also known as Tadmur, isn't just a matter of history. Today, it's also home to tens of thousands of people -- many of whom, if they haven't already fled, cower in fear they'll meet the same grisly fate of so many others conquered by ISIS.

 

They're people like the 26-year-old who asked to remain anonymous for fear of retribution. He's huddled in a house with 50 people, among them his family members and neighbors who have lost their own homes, and worried that food will run out while his city is under curfew. 

 

After at least 100 Syrian soldiers died in fighting overnight, Syrian warplanes carried out airstrikes Thursday in and around Palmyra, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported. But there's no indication when, or if, Syrian ground forces will try to take back the city. Nor is there a sense that any of the others fighting ISIS, like the United States, will come to the rescue.

 



 

"They are everywhere."

ISIS controls 'everything' in ancient city of Palmyra - CNN.com:  That is the stark observation about ISIS fighters in Palmyra from a 26-year-old resident there, detailing the terrorist group's swift, destructive takeover of yet another city in its quest to brutally expand its caliphate.

 

This capture threatens a UNESCO World Heritage Site described as having "stood at the crossroads of several civilizations," with its art and architecture mixing Greek, Roman and Persian influences, according to that U.N. group. U.N. and Syrian officials have expressed fears that ISIS plans to destroy the ruins, just as it flattened the ancient Assyrian city of Nimrud and smashed statues in Iraq's Mosul Museum.

I inverted the order of these two sections trying to make a point. 

 

Calling upon me the multitudes, maybe the followings will help..?

Not one hundred percent sure  Henry Ford is the one I've just quoted above.  However, not important as I have altered one word I'm believing better explains the world of my understanding as seen from an

(ad)vantage point

currently been ...fortunate(?)privileged(?)givened(?)spoiled...leisurely enabled

to enjoy..? 

 

In other words,  you are going to need me explaining this to you in person; me needing to know more about you being just as important as you knowing more about me. This is known as pragmatic competence; the ability understanding another's language, of which, history and context plays an important role.

 

indeteminacy:

 

In any natural language, the instability of meaning, the uncertainty of reference, and the variations in interpretations of grammatical forms and categories.

 

As David A. Swinney has observed, "Indeterminacy exists at essentially every descriptive level of word, sentence, and discourse analysis"

(Understanding Word and Sentence, 1991).

And  any form of manipulation and deception, inopportunity, explaining myself

can easily tells me just as much, if not more, about you..?

 

 

"You don't know me!"

 

 

Of course,

 

"That's just your opinion!"

 

without all the evidence, these conclusions of mine will correctly be dismissed as conjectures.

 

"I'm not going to hear it!"

 

And there will be nothing I can do or say about it..?

 

 

Jesus Predicts His Death

(HE SPOKE PLAINLY ABOUT THIS)

 

MARK 8:

31He then began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and after three days rise again. 32He spoke plainly about this, and Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him.

33But when Jesus turned and looked at his disciples, he rebuked Peter. “Get behind me, Satan!” he said. “You do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns.”

 

The Way of the Cross

 

34Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.35For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it.36What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?37Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?38If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his Father’s glory with the holy angels.”

 

 

 

 “Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see that the kingdom of God has come with power.”
