Syrian Air Force Targets ISIL Positions Near Palmyra. (SP).

Syrian Air Force fighter jets hit Islamic State (ISIL) targets close to the ancient city of Palmyra, Al Mayadeen reported Sunday.

According to the TV channel, ISIL militants began to retreat following the airstrikes. A column of 80 cars reportedly left Palmyra and headed toward the main ISIL positions outside the city.

A source in the Homs city administration told RIA Novosti that a large number of ISIL rebels was killed in the strikes. “Fighting between the Syrian army and ISIL militants continued in the North-East of Palmyra. A lot of ISIL militants were killed,” the source said.

The source added that the ancient site of Palmyra had not been damaged in the attack, and is under the Syrian army’s control.

Smoky Mountains National Park - A UN "World Heritage" and "Biosphere Reserve".So WHO OWNS these "World Heritage and "Biosphere Reserve" Sites?





Smoky Mountains National Park - A UN "World Heritage" and "Biosphere Reserve".So WHO OWNS these "World Heritage and "Biosphere Reserve" Sites?(BlackListedNews).By Sherrie Questioning All.I live in East Tennessee. I recently took a friend of mine who was visiting me up to the Smoky Mountains National Park. I love going up into the mountains and have gone many times needless to say. We camp up there often at the Elkmont campgrounds inside the park. Which as a side note has one of the only two places in the world where the fireflies are synchronized during their peak time, the first week of June. The fireflies blink at exactly the same time in the Elkmont campground - Millionaires Row area. Another side note - The Smoky Mountains are considered one of the oldest mountain ranges in the world. They are 200 to 300 Million years old. The Great Smoky Mountains are among the oldest mountains in the world, formed perhaps 200-300 million years ago. They are unique in their northeast to southwest orientation, which allowed species to migrate along their slopes during climatic changes such as the last ice age, 10,000 years ago. In fact, the glaciers of the last ice age affected the Smoky Mountains without invading them.
During that time, glaciers scoured much of North America but did not quite reach as far south as the Smokies. Consequently, these mountains became a refuge for many species of plants and animals that were disrupted from their northern homes. The Smokies have been relatively undisturbed by glaciers or ocean inundation for over a million years, allowing species eons to diversify. We got up to Newfound Gap where the Tennessee and North Carolina State line divides the park, which I have gone to multiple times. We walked down the viewing walkway away from the main area that people congregate at. When we got to steps that go back up to the parking spaces, there were two plaques on either side of the steps, attached to the stone walls. somewhat obscured. I stopped to read them for the first time ever. I was surprised at what I read and took pictures of the plaques to research the information on the internet and find out what exactly the plaques meanings were. I thought "What the Hell is a UN World Heritage site?" The way it read to me is that the Smoky Mountains are not actually a National Park of the United States and thus the People of the United States are not the owners, but is controlled by the United Nations. Did our U.S. government give up our national park to the UN in 1983? I am sure the average person who reads the plaques think "Oh, how awesome these mountains are considered 'World owned mountains and are protected through the UN.' But for those of us who know about the UN Agenda 21, we know that it means the U.S gives up Sovereignty to the UN to become a "One World Government and control of land and resources."Needless to say the above plaques disturbed me and I wanted to know exactly what their meaning was.I have now done the research and have found the U.S. government has given the UN control of most of our National Parks, including the Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Yellowstone, Redwood Forest, Mammoth Caves, Statue of Liberty, Olympic National Park, the Everglades, the list goes on.Read what Sherrie discovered here.
