On Thursday (14/9/17) and Friday (15/9/17) the sixth round of meetings in the Astana Process took place. Formed in December 2016 the Astana Process sees Russia, Syria, Turkey and Iran working to find a solution to the six year conflict within Syria.
The main topic at this round of meetings was the possible creation of what for simplicity I will describe here as a deconfliction zone around the city of Idlib - capital of Idlib Province. This is in the north-west of Syria on the border with Turkey.
Since at least July 2017 this area has been under the exclusive control of the Islamist terror group The Support Front/Jabhat al-Nusra (ANF). Although they try to disguise it with frequent name changes the ANF are the Syrian branch of The Base/Al Qaeda terror group.
Therefore the establishment of a deconfliction zone would mean Turkey and Russia protecting Al Qaeda in an area of Syria. Al Qaeda are extremely likely to use this area as a base to launch terror attacks globally.
The US was granted observer status within the Astana Process back in January 2017. However the UK remains excluded.
So on Friday (15/9/17) morning the UK attempted to force its way into the Astana Process with an incident at the Parson's Green Underground Rail (Metro/Tube) station in south-west London.
Here an essentially stunt pyrotechnic ignited the air within a train carriage creating a flashover fire or fireball. As soon as the oxygen in the carriage had been consumed the fire put itself out. The entire incident lasted literally fractions of a second and resulted in no damage or significant injury.
Parson's Green is one of London's more obscure stations. Unless you live there or travel past it on your way to someone else even regular users of London's Tube network would struggle to tell you where it is.
However in this case Parson's Green is an extremely important station. That's because BBC News anchor Sophie Raworth lives right by it. As the incident was occurring Raworth was travelling to work. With a senior journalist and her Smartphone already being at the scene news of the incident broke very quickly. At around lunchtime in Astana.
The incident has been and continues to be described as a failed terrorist attack. That obviously puts the issue of the terrorist threat to the UK on the Astana agenda.
It actually seems modelled on a very specific terrorist campaign conducted in the UK by the Animal Liberation Front (ALF) between 1986 and 1987. The ALF were a very militant animal rights group who conducted firebombings against shops selling animal fur and animal testing labs.
Somewhere deep in the fog of my memory I seem to remember that as part of their campaign the ALF also planned to firebomb Tube trains. However those attacks certainly never took place and I can't immediately find any reference to it on the Internet.
One of the most famous ALF attacks occurred in December 1987. Here they firebombed a branch of the Debenhams department store in the Harrow area of north-west London causing close to half a million dollars worth of damage.
In an effort to nudge you towards that rather obscure reference prior to the incident at Parson's Green there was a fire at a lumber yard in Harrow. The smoke from this fire forced the West Coast Mainline Overground Rail service out of London Euston station to be closed causing significant travel disruption.
The ALF's firebombing in Harrow remains highly controversial. That's because the incendiary device itself was actually planted by Bob Lambert - a police officer working undercover within the ALF on behalf of the Metropolitan Police's Special Branch which has recently been absorbed into Counter-Terrorism Command.
Obviously the police officer could simply have done this in order to maintain his cover. If he'd refused he would have been kicked out of the group, the police would lose a vital source on intelligence and another member of the group would have simply planted the device.
However it is also possible that it was the police officer who came up the with idea for the ALF to conduct a firebombing campaign. That sort of False Flag operation would allow the government to justify using ever more extreme measures to crack down on the ALF.
A current connoisseur of this type of False Flag attack is Turkish President/Prime Minister/Emperor Recep Tayyip Erdogan. He frequently conducts False Flag attacks within Turkey and beyond in order to further his political agenda.
Although not strictly speaking a False Flag attack a prime example of this is the July 20th 2015 (20/7/15) Suruc bombing.
Here Erdogan allowed the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) to bomb a gathering of Turkish Kurds who were raising money to help rebuild the Syrian Kurdish town of Kobane which had been liberated a few months earlier. The bombing killed 33 people and wounded 104 more.
Bizarrely Erdogan used this attack by ISIL on Kurds to end a longstanding ceasefire between Turkey and the Turkish Kurdish Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK). Erdogan has since used the ending of that ceasefire in order to attack Kurdish groups fighting ISIL in both Iraq and Syria.
Eventually it even allowed him to formally invade and occupy a large section of Syria in order to maintain supply lines between ISIL and Turkey.
Another good example of Erdogan's antics is the February 17th 2016 (17/2/16) Ankara bombing. Here a bus carrying Turkish troops was blown up in Ankara killing 29 people and wounding 60. Erdogan immediately blamed this on the PKK and demanded the right to invade Syria.
The Ankara bombing was modelled on the August 27th 1979 (27/8/79) Warrenpoint ambush. Also often known as the Narrow Water ambush this was the most deadly attack by the Provisional Irish Republican Army (PIRA) on the British Army. As with in Ankara a bus carrying troops was blown up killing 18 and wounding 6.
Understanding the reference the UK almost immediately called Bullsh*t on Erdogan's claim the PKK were responsible for the Ankara bombing.
The Narrow Water ambush occurred on the same day as the PIRA assassination of effectively father-in-law to the British Queen Lord Mountbatten in County Sligo in the Republic of Ireland. These incidents led to the introduction of broadcast restrictions intended to stifle terrorist propaganda.
Restricting terrorist propaganda has been a major issue within the current global fight against ISIL. As a result discussions about the Ankara bombing and its links to the Narrow Water ambush raged globally for about six months.
Beyond raising Britain's concerns about terrorism in Astana the Parson's Green incident also attempted to shake information out of the meeting. To that end it included lots of references that didn't really go anywhere.
There's a rather famous British movie called; "28 Days Later" and its sequel; "28 Weeks Later." They're directed by Danny Boyle who did the London 2012 Olympic ceremonies.
The movie's story starts with an animal rights group similar to the ALF setting monkey's free from a medical research lab. What they don't realise is the monkeys are infected with a virus that turns people into Zombies leading to the UK being destroyed in a Zombie Apocalypse.
That reminds Astana of the scale to the potential terrorist threat to the UK while also urging the participants to think about the future. It does it in really convoluted way though.
The device used at Parson's Green was not a suicide device. Instead it was it was rigged with a timer that allowed the person who planted it to leave the scene.
This coupled with the fact it was not a viable bomb was very similar to an incident on October 20th 2016 (20/10/16) when the discovery of a non-viable device at North Greenwich Tube station. This caused a mass evacuation and the cancellation of a concert by the band Nickelback at the near-by O2 Arena concert venue.
Nickelback are a Canadian band. The current Canadian Prime Minister is Justin Trudeau. He suffers from the same liberal disease of former US President Barack Obama.
They and many others in the west view Muslims not as people but as fashion accessories they can use to signal to their friends what tolerant and good people they are.
The people who sign up to this type of thinking will condemn you as a racist if you dare to suggest that an Islamist terror attack was an Islamist terror attack. That puts people in danger because in order to guard against a threat you first have to identify it.
At the time I think that Canada along with France was demanding that the Syrians stop trying to liberate Aleppo City from Al Qaeda. It was the liberation of Aleppo City that led to Al Qaeda taking up their current positions around Idlib City.
Fortunately Justin Trudeau is not the leader of Canada. The British Queen is the leader of Canada. Any authority Trudeau has is simply a privilege granted by the Queen. If Trudeau or anyone else uses that privilege to threaten the UK it can be quickly revoked.
Back in October 2016 Trudeau seemed to need to be reminded of that fact.
The legal proceedings which followed the North Greenwich incident were quite strange. The device had been built and planted by white 19 year old Damon Smith. He was not a member of ISIL or any other terror group and although apparently had become fixated on Islam he wasn't a Muslim.
Smith though did suffer from Autism. That is a sort of neurological impairment making it difficult for him to realise that planting a bomb on a Tube train simply to see if he could solve the puzzle of how to plant a bomb on a Tube train was not socially acceptable behaviour.
As a result there was a lot of discussion over whether it was an act of terrorism. Smith had certainly committed the violent act of planting a bomb in a public place. However he'd not done it out of any political motive. In fact he seemed almost completely oblivious to the political implications of his actions.
At the trial there was also lots of discussion whether his medical condition constituted a form or mitigation and whether it would be better to confine him to a hospital rather than send him prison.
That is obviously quite different from the seeming conveyor belt of terrorism trials of often non-White suspects the UK has going at the moment. The likes of Justin Trudeau will tell you that's simply the result of a racism that only he can protect you from.
The Parson's Green device was triggered by an electrical short-circuit that had been created intentional in a small lightbulb. Often known as Fairy Lights these are similar to the ones that are often used to decorate Christmas Trees. It obviously created a fire.
On June 13th (13/6/17) a fire tore through the Grenfell Tower apartment block in the Kensington & Chelsea are of west London. This left 80 people dead or missing presumed dead. That fire too was caused by an electrical short circuit.
Authorities in London were and continue to be adamant that the electrical short-circuit which caused the Parson's Green fire was intentional and deliberate. However they refuse to even entertain the idea the electrical short-circuit which caused the Grenfell Tower fire could have been intentional and deliberate.
That is extremely embarrassing for authorities in London because it is a matter of accepted fact amongst intelligence agencies that the Grenfell Tower was set deliberately and intentionally. It was set by members of the British Labour Party in an attempt to overthrow the government.
There's actually been something of a mini-competition between intelligence agencies over who can get their hands on the communications which prove Labour's arson conspiracy.
However with everyone seeming to have copies this has turned into a game of who if anyone is going to release them to the public. After all watching Britain squirm is quite amusing to all the people Britain has annoyed over the years.
What should have happened in response to Grenfell Tower is that all those involved in the conspiracy were arrested. This would involve Labour MP's such as Emma Dent-Coad being expelled from Parliament in disgrace and possibly the entire Labour Party being disbanded.
However for some reason Britain has decided to cover all this up.
So now we've got to sit through a Public Inquiry all pretending the fire was some sort of accident. Labour of course intended to use that Public Inquiry to further destabilise the government. At it's launch on Thursday (14/9/17) they actually complained it would independent rather then allowing them to investigate themselves.
The political instability over Grenfell Tower is actually causing Britain a lot of problems. Particularly in the vital Brexit negotiations. It's got to the point Germany is pleading with the UK to sort itself out because time for Brexit negotiations is running out.
The Parson's Green device was wrapped in a plastic bag from the German Supermarket chain Lidl. Apparently they're not overjoyed at the brand association.
Britain has what is known as an integrated housing policy. This means that rather than having rich neighbourhoods and poor neighbourhoods people are forced to live together. This is why you have poor residents of Grenfell Tower living in one of Britain's richest areas.
However Parson's Green is generally speaking quite wealthy. The people who live and certainly commute to work from there earn money, pay tax and contribute to society. As we've seen from their constant demands for government handouts and luxury hotel rooms the residents of Grenfell Tower generally don't work, don't pay tax and only take from society.
On the news I saw one of the residents complaining that he felt the opening of the Public Inquiry was a waste of time. However he didn't complain that he had to take a day off work to attend. He complained he had to be out of bed at 10:30 to attend. I'm a famously late sleeper. Even I was up at 10:30.
This contrast between society's makers and society's takers both experience both experiencing fires should help fuel the political soap opera.
Many of those affected by the Parson's Green fire were taken to Westminster & Chelsea Hospital. This generally serves patients from Westminster and Chelsea. Just to confuse people it's actually in Hammersmith & Fulham.
At around 16:20 on 16/9/17 (UK date) I'll pick this up later. With it only really being tidying up I may actually leave it until Monday.
Edited at around 18:35 on 16/9/17 (UK date) to add;
Although it was entirely false the number of casualties from the Parson's Green incident was initially given as 18. The device was described as a; "Bucket Bomb."
This was in reference to an Irish Republican rebel song called; "18 Brits Were Blew to Bits."
Set to the tune of the children's nursery rhyme; "Old McDonald Had a Farm" this celebrates PIRA terror attacks. Most notably the Narrow Water ambush and the assassination of Lord Mountbatten. It refers to those killed; "Kicking the Bucket" - a common euphemism for dying.
On May 22nd (22/5/17) there was a terrorist bombing at the Manchester Evening News Arena (MENA) in the UK city of Manchester. This killed 22 people and wounded 59 others. It occurred at the end of a concert by US popstar Ariana Grande being performed as part of her Dangerous Woman Tour (DWT).
In response to the bombing Ariana Grande arranged a charity concert for the survivors in Manchester on June 4th (4/6/17). In part this prompted another terror attack on the UK. This time a marauding run-over and stabbing attack in the London Bridge area of London. Taken place on the night of June 3rd (3/6/17) this killed 8 people and wounded 48.
Ariana Grande's concert was chosen for the May 22nd (22/5/17) attack in reference to Rihanna's 2013 Diamonds World Tour (DWT) which I got so heavily involved in. Once Rihanna's DWT was over the US tried to get me equally heavily involved in Miley Cyrus' upcoming tour.
So although I've made a conscious effort to keep my distance I very much have a concept of Miley Cyrus as an actual real life person. Rather than one of those people that live in the TV. Ariana Grande and Miley Cyrus are really close friends and Miley Cyrus was very heavily involved in organising the June 4th (4/6/17) concert.
Within the UK music industry the gold standard awards are the BRIT Awards.
So on what was an extremely stressful day for me I used the song 18 Brits to tease performers at the charity concert as a way to break the tension.
Shortly afterwards it was revealed that Rihanna had been conducting a secret relationship with Hassan Jameel. A Saudi Arabian who is actively under investigation by various intelligence agencies for supplying ISIL with primarily vehicles. It is extremely likely the relationship triggered the attack on the MENA concert.
I think it is fair to say that the intelligence agencies who had been investigating Jameel did not approve of Rihanna's relationship with him. In fact she was briefly dubbed; "Slag O'Waters" in a shaky reference to the 18 Brits song about Lord Mountbatten being assassinated at Sligo Waters.
Immediately following the MENA bombing the American FBI caused a huge amount of offence in the UK. They released crime scene photos and other details of the investigation that the British police had shared with them under the so-called "Five Eyes" agreement. This led to the UK police temporarily ending intelligence sharing with the FBI.
At the time the FBI was being headed by Andrew McCabe. He is the agent who took close to $1million in bribes from Democrat Governor of Virginia Terry McAuliffe while investigating Hillary Clinton for espionage against the US. Funnily enough Hillary Clinton was not charged.
This behaviour along with the FBI's seemingly relentless leaking of information seeming intended to oust the democratically elected President of the US Donald Trump seems to suggest a deep ideological commitment to Islamist terrorism on the part of American liberals.
In the immediate aftermath of the Parson's Green incident the British police told CNN reporter Nima Elbagir - off the record - that the device had used a timing device. Elbagir and CNN immediately broke that confidence and leaked news of the timing device globally.
In response there has been a lot of criticism of President Trump over claims he leaked sensitive information by suggesting British police had knowledge of the suspect. Such is their blind hatred of Trump CNN and their cohorts couldn't work out that the British outrage was actually directed at them.
I don't know the exact details of the timing device but experience suggests it was some sort of alarm clock. This is something that is synonymous with IRA and then PIRA bombing campaigns. There's even a song about it called; "My Auld Alarm Clock."
Actually it's more a song about how anti-Irish racism caused by IRA terrorism drives Irish people to the IRA.
It's about an Irish man who moves to London in 1939. He's promptly arrested on pretty much a charge of being Irish. However the formal evidence is that he is in possession of an old alarm clock similar to the ones used as a timer for bombs. The police and Judge have no interest in letting him defend himself. He ends up in prison going;
"I wasn't a terrorist but thanks to you b*stards once I get out I will be."
That's obviously a topical issue with groups like Al Qaeda carrying out terror attacks to trigger an anti-Muslim backlash that drives Muslims to join them.
The reason why anti-Irish racism was so serious in the UK in 1939 was the outbreak of the Second World War. During the First World War the technically Irish Republic Brotherhood (IRB) staged the 1916 Easter Rising. This was supposed to have taken place with weapons supplied by Britain's enemy Germany.
During the Second World War Britain actually established a secret resistance movement known as the; "Scallywags." In the event of a Nazi invasion they would use terrorist tactics to fight back. Many of the Scallywags served in the International Brigades in the Spanish Civil war alongside members of the IRB.
Also it must be said that even for famously late sleepers like myself waking up to the words; "Explosion, Tube Train, London, Terrorism" on the radio alarm clock certainly helps get you out of bed.
The May 22nd (22/5/17) and June 3rd (3/6/17) terror attacks were carried out to influence the UK's June 8th (8/6/17) General Election.
The ultimate aspiration was to get the Labour Party elected into government. As you've seen through the conduct of their now defunct MP Jo Cox they are big supporters of Islamist terrorism.
Their leader Jeremy Corbyn in particular spouts all sort of terrorist conspiracy theories such as the September 11th 2001 terror attacks being caused by the War on Terror that was launched in October 2001 and ended by Obama in 2011.
Failing a Labour victory the objective was to produce a hung Parliament in which no clear winner emerges. This destabilises the UK making it harder for it to combat Islamist terror.
In the US they're still freaking out over foreign interference in their November 2016 election because a Russian news broadcaster reported on it.
Quite how the UK can accept a political party which allied itself with foreign terrorist groups to murder 30 British citizens as part of its election campaign as legitimate is a mystery many people would like to see solved.
Following the May 22nd (22/5/17) the UK raised its terror threat level to the maximum of; "Critical." This triggered the deployment of troops to the British streets under "Operation Temperer."
This was done because the authorities were not sure whether the MENA bombing was the work of one person or if there was a wider cell planning more attacks. I knew it was the work of one person but could see why the government would want to take precautions.
However the threat level was lowered again on May 27th (27/5/17) and Operation Temperer was gradually wound down. This triggered the June 3rd (3/6/17) attack in an effort to make Prime Minister Theresa May look utterly incompetent in the eyes of voters five days before an election.
In response to the Parson's Green incident the terror threat level has again be raised to "Critical" and Operation Temperer has resumed. With no-one considering what has happened to be a credible terrorist threat let alone there being one in the immediate future this just further fuels the political soap opera.
You could view it as Theresa May reminding voters of Labour's murderous election campaign and daring the party to try another stunt like Grenfell Tower once the threat level is lowered.
However you could also view it as London authorities wilfully withholding vital information from the Prime Minister as they have done with Grenfell Tower. That raises the prospect of a radical faction within the police trying to stage a coup against the lawfully elected government.
In that context soldiers being sent to the streets to replace police officers makes you wonder whether tomorrow we're going to wake up to the news that the heads of Jeremy Corbyn and Labour's London Mayor Sadiq Khan have been placed on pikes outside the Tower of London.
Of course once my old alarm clock had woken me up the first thing I saw was Russians laughing at Britain's pitiful attempt to force its way into Astana.
The French were also expressing anger about it. However that's because they thought it was all being done because French President Emanuel Macron had a scheduled telephone call with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin later in the day.
With it being obvious the UK was trying to force information out it forced the Astana meeting to make an announcement. That announcement was that Al Qaeda are to be protected by Turkey and Russia in Idlib. The exact opposite of what the UK was trying to achieve.
Therefore if I was in charge I'd be getting the UK to draw a line under this embarrassing episode as quickly as possible. However the UK is still in the grips of tunnel vision and even less likely to listen to reason then usual.
Today they've arrested an 18 year old on suspicion of planting the device. You'll notice the very similar age to Damon Smith.
They're also searching a property in Sunbury-on-Thames. A somewhat wealthy town just outside south-west London. This has triggered a mass evacuation of the area with local residents being sent to temporary accommodation.
Apparently we're supposed to look at how the makers of Sunbury-on-Thames respond to their temporary accommodation compared to the behaviour of the takers of Grenfell Tower.
20:05 on 16/9/17 (UK date).
Edited again at around 09:25 on 21/9/17 (UK date) to add;
In response to the MENA bombing I wrote about the need for people to process the trauma of their experience in order to take ownership of those memories and leave them behind.
With my Great-Grandfather being one of the first people killed by the IRA during the war of independence I probably know more than most how repressed trauma has a way of echoing through the generations.
So although it doesn't really fit here I should probably take my own advice.
The MENA bombing was followed by a marauding attack through London - the city in which I live. The police brought this attack to an end within 10 minutes killing all of the attackers. However they didn't make that little detail public until several hours later.
So at the time I went to bed that day there were potentially multiple ISIL fighters marauding towards my house to kill me. On this threat I think my decision spoke for itself.
However it did serve to remind everyone that in this fight against ISIL and their associates I'm probably the only person who doesn't have access to firearms.
Mind you living in Khanistan you get used to living with the constant threat of being robbed, shot, stabbed or having acid thrown in your face. If you're black, live in social housing and vote Labour the police aren't allowed to stop you doing those things. Apparently it's part of your culture and much be respected.
In other news from this dirty old town someone has finally chopped down an old dead tree.
