Exact death tolls are unclear, but dozens of people were reported killed today as the US escalated its airstrikes against the ISIS capital of Raqqa and the contested city of Kobani.
The US launches daily airstrikes in both places, of course, but reports today are that the number of attacks are the highest since before December 24, when a Jordanian pilot involved in the air war was shot down and captured.
Raqqa is the de facto capital city of the ISIS caliphate, and indeed ISIS controls materially the entire Raqqa Province. In Kobani, ISIS is continuing to fight against Kurdish militias which hold much of the city.
ISIS reportedly lost an allied Saudi cleric today in Kobani, though there are conflicting reports as to whether he was killed in an airstrike, or in fighting with the Kurdish militias.

As Saudi Arabia wants all freedom fighters to be declared terrorists and beheaded at the earliest opportunity, why in the world has it so befriended the Islamic State? Some say it’s because both nations share the same violent brand of Sunni religion, but be that as it may, if the Islamic State were to ever achieve a greater military then Saudi Arabia, surely a war between the two would be inevitable. For there is too much oil and too much excessive wealth for there to ever be peace in the Middle-East.
For the only solution to wars over wealth, is for all of us who have no wealth and no war-hawk ego caused by wealth, to go on strike and so bankrupt the war mongers that no wars get funded.
Go on strike? That means, stop joining the military to fight their wars and that's not going to happen. Young men are pumped up with testosterone and have their heads shrunk by the propagandists to think that they're fighting for freedom. Support the twoops, support the twoops?
ALL WARS ARE BANKERS' WARS! "Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The Bankers own the Earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create deposits, and with the flick of a pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take it away from them, and all the fortunes like mine will disappear, and they ought to disappear, for this world would be a happier and better world to live in. But if you wish to remain slaves of the Bankers and pay for the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create deposits." — Sir Josiah Stamp, President of the Bank of England in the 1920s, the second richest man in Britain I know many people have a great deal of difficulty comprehending just how many wars are started for no other purpose than to force private central banks onto nations, so let me share a few examples, so that you understand why the US Government is mired in so many wars against so many foreign nations. There is ample precedent for this.

Which begs the question, as wealth is the property we own above what is needed to have a quality life, as such excessive wealth forces the owner to kill to protect his wealth, to value his wealth above a human life, how can anyone with wealth join a religion and be anything but pure hypocrisy?
