There is no Roman or Jewish record of this. And there is broad evidence of a minor plot twist in the Roman Senate regarding the Pizo Family, Herrod and certain Dead Messiah, John the B, and no story but his head on the plate. That is not enough to feed the Lion of the Roman Army.
Rome invented Nazi record keeping. There is no record. Lots of tampering with the Act of Pilate and the writing of Jospehus. Earlier copies have been found.
And it is nothing new, just shouted down. You can go back to the shreds of left over truth of Constantine and get a hint of this objection. How hard can it be to start a Religion whole cloth? It is done all the time. Scientology, Branch Davidians, Jack Mormons.
So, don't quote any scripture as fact, please. If you throw it all out as war chant and lies, and then try to prove any shred of it, you will be very surprised. We have the stuff tossed out of the Bible, now. And if you look, this Christos on earth, the only way from sin, Jesus said almost nothing, that is recorded. 21 repeated fables and parables common at the time, and a few very strange things. It is the Eastern concepts in there and hey are just shouted down. The meaning is twisted against the older meanings for power.
I and my father are ONE.
Must come thru the Son (human body) to know God (self)
God made us in his own image......what, a mirror? Silly. We are in the Tao, the Completeness, we are in the Image (imagination) of God
The list is endless of the word play turned around, and the only thing truly Mysterious Being to me is how this Oneness/Godness = Humanity printed thru so well. And cannot, even in Islam much longer, be denied.
Education on Humanity and humility begun as the Tao, is still strangely tangled in the imperative need for War/Peace. Spooky that Christo?Tao crossed all this time and distance, survived mangled translations, wholesale killing, and the Printing Press.

On 14 September 2013, Syria deposited its instrument of accession to the CWC and agreed to provisional application pending its entry into force effective 14 October 2013You lazy potheads really should read more.

Add Australia's six to the US arsenal of wideband comms satellites.... The US' agreement with "Five Eyes" also gives the US access to allied countries comms satellites so when you look at the numbers I would have to surmise the US does have the monopoly and that capability is shared with only a handful of counties. (UK, CAN, AU)

Does the US still have the "kill switch" at their disposal?
20 years ago, when I was studying telecom, we discussed that subject (since satellite comm. was polarized). Commercial users had the "vertical" polarization, while the military used the "horizontal" polarization (or maybe it was vice-versa? I can't remember).
In the event of emergency (whatever that meant) they could "kill" all commercial traffic since they had there own special link.
I assumed that faded away with new methods of packing data, etc... To be honest I never kept up with the technology. Within a year of graduation, my knowledge was antiquated (this was during the transition from ESS to DSS in terrestrial comm.).

It's a pretty good read, giving a general synopsis of how the situation has gotten to where it is, and where it may be going. There's also some analysis of the political issues surrounding the various actors.

Ohh Frickin Hell!
They have uncovered the secrets of the "Alan Parsons Project"
Number Two! Get in here you Cycloptic Buffoon!
You can bet my sweet Belgian Ass they have penetrated the secrets of Preparations A Through G
We must find a place to secrete Preparation H, where it will NEVER SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY
Any suggestions? Anybody?

Yeah, don't you hate that. I really have to remember to keep the copy shelf buffer current (cntrl A, contr C, in Wndoz) but, I usually don't. There is suppose to an auto-save feature, but I don't how to access it.
IAC, I doubt very much this is a Hague Convention situation. It is more of a Mubararic, Morasy, Saddam, play. Change the govt and let the new one hang the old one.

It is interesting...but not at all informative. It informs what we already know. We don't know. So, lots of lost words to say that. A lot stating the obvious.
But, not a lot of blaming and side taking, so I like that. We see this going to the UN, and Assad is getting the idea we may not use force.Funny.
We seem to be approaching a moment when the international community must take decisive action in order to prevent Syria and the broader region from spiraling into an enduring cycle of sectarian hatred and radicalism with associated atrocities. Accordingly, policy makers must carefully consider the best outcome for the conflict and then build meaningful international consensus and commitment to actualize it. However, they must be careful not to lose sight of the will and interests of the Syrian people in the process. As Lakhdar Brahimi, the UN and Arab League representative, has maintained, “Change cannot be cosmetic.… There will be a new order but I do not know who will be in that order. That's for Syrians to decide.”[SUP]42[/SUP]

It would seem that contradictory self-serving Saudi and Qatari oil interests are pulling the strings of an equally self-serving oil-focused US policy in Syria, if not the wider region. It is this - the problem of establishing a pliable opposition which the US and its oil allies feel confident will play ball, pipeline-style, in a post-Assad Syria - that will determine the nature of any prospective intervention: not concern for Syrian life.
What is beyond doubt is that Assad is a war criminal whose government deserves to be overthrown. The question is by whom, and for what interests?

Not informative? Perhaps not for those who have been following the issue from day one... For someone like me, who has not been following this closely over the last 2.5 years, it was good to see a rational synopsis and analysis without all the bias inherent in general media.It is interesting...but not at all informative. It informs what we already know. We don't know. So, lots of lost words to say that. A lot stating the obvious.

As for the "new order", it seems that was the direction Assad was going in the first place. Although, I suspect this new order will be a copy of Russia's brand of "democracy".
But if that 55% number of support for Assad is even remotely accurate (and as noted, that poll was conducted by Qatar!), then it appears that Syrians would still elect him under a "free", Western-style democracy.
The part I found interesting was the number of actual "opposition" members at the outset... Talk about a delusional minority! The way propaganda outlets tell the story, one may be inclined to presume there was an overwhelming part of the population that wanted him out...
However, I recently saw the YPG have aligned themselves (not formally, mind you) with the SNC. Whether or not that is for the purposes of dealing with the 3rd element or Assad, I don't know for certain. But it does change the dynamics somewhat. I recall the Kurds want more diplomatic representation in Syria, though. So perhaps that is their true reason for forming such alliances.

Well, I'm saying it's not informative, as I have been following along, so I'll grant you that one.
Also, these are no better facts on the ground than is commonly known. And it is too deep a dive. I don't think, without Arabic, and not being a born Syrian, I have any idea of what the internal business of these people mean.I know there are Christians and Alewateies or something....don't care. That is for them and they can hang Assad. Or maybe the play is the Chemical Allie will hang, as a goat and Assad joins the bigger political play as a signatory.
