33 | Barak Barfi, Steven Sotloff Family Spokesperson

In decoding the headlines, I have come to notice that the 'spokesperson' for a particular family or person often has a '33 name', which is true of Barak Barfi, quoted in today's mainstream press, relaying information about the family sentiments towards the "beheading".

 It should be noted that the former Prime Minister of Israel, who departed office in July of 2001, was named Ehud Barak.  He was not born with the last name 'Barak' however, he changed it to that before becoming Prime Minister.

• Barak = 2+1+18+1+11 = 33

I add this detail to pinpoint the relevance of the name, and as further evidence of its importance.  In the case of Steven Sotloff, it is one more "33" in the growing narratives of beheadings, which are occurring with our "third?" trip to Iraq, as they did with the beginning of our "second?".  Sorry, it is hard for me to keep track now.  I'm war reporting wiry.
