Have been playing this so, so much lately. Still watch all of them so often as our dearest is never forgotten.

Hey so, if you don't know. Assad is a fascist fuck head. However I probably don't need to tell people here that a US/Isreal/Turkey backed coup is not a good thing either. Yeah, that's right, this whole thing in Syria is a fucking mess. Honestly it should of tipped people off that it happened RIGHT when Israel signed their phony ceasefire agreement with Lebanon.

Those actors are not "rebel fighters" or "freedom fighters" or whatever. They are fucking mercenaries and it's a fucking US back coup. Shits bad yall. Like Isreal has been (of course) very fucking chatty about how it's doing this with the US to stop aid coming in from Iran and shit. And of course, it's another measure to control the area.

Orthodox Christian canon tables

Khuri Daud of Homs, Syria, 1868

This richly ornamented volume contains the canons of the church, including the dogmas of the Holy Apostles, the Seven World Councils and the laws of the patriarchs and kings. The style of painting and writing reflects Ottoman Turkish influences.

The scribe humbly "begs all the Worthy who may look over this book to excuse [him] on account of the many badly written letters and lines which are not straight, as perfection can only be ascribed to God alone."
