Operation Featherweight: Month 39, Week 4, Day 2.

Within in Syria the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) are primarily being fought by two main groups.

There is the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF/QSD). This is a coalition of Syrian Kurdish, Christian, Arab and Turkmen forces. They are backed by the US-led coalition - Combined Joint Task Force: Operation Inherent Resolve (CJTFOIR).

Then there are the Syrians themselves. They are backed by Russia, Iran and the Lebanese group Hezbollah.

Operating independently of each other both are putting great pressure on ISIL in the Euphrates River basin area. The SDF primarily in the city of Raqqa and the Khobar River basin. The Syrians primarily in the cities of Deir-ez-Zour and Mayadin.

The Syrians are also fighting the Army of Conquest/Jaish al-Fatah (JAF) coalition. This is closely allied to ISIL and lead by The Base/Al Qaeda's Syrian affiliate The Support Front/Jabhat al-Nusra.

In December 2016 the Astana Process on Syria was formed.

At the fifth round of meetings in the Astana Process on May 3rd (3/5/17) and May 5th (5/5/17) agreement was reached to create four zones within Syria dubbed; "The Astana Zones." Within these zones fighting between the Syrians and the Army of Conquest would be suspended.

By August 18th (18/8/17) three of the four Astana Zones had been established. In Deraa and Quneitra Provinces along Syria's borders with Israel and Jordan. In Homs Province. Around the Syrian capital Damascus, primarily in the East Ghouta suburb.

The remaining zone covered Idlib Province centred around Idlib City. This sits right on Syria's border with Turkey.

It is an area that Turkish President/Prime Minister/Emperor Recep Tayyip Erdogan has long wished to annex as part of a new Ottoman Empire. As such it has been designated; "The Sudetenland" in reference to the way Czechoslovakia's Sudetenland was annexed by Nazi Germany in 1938.

On September 14th (14/17/17) and September 15th (15/9/17) the sixth round of meetings in the Astana Process took place. This focused heavily on establishing the Sudetenland as an Astana Zone under Turkish control.

The parties to the Astana Process are Syria, Russia, Iran and Turkey. The US was granted observer status to the process in January 2017. However the UK remains excluded.

So on September 15th (15/9/17) the UK attempted to muscle its way into the Astana Process. This involved staging an Islamist terror attack on an Underground Rail (Metro/Tube) train in the Parson's Green area of London.

The objective was to express the UK's opposition to the establishment of the Sudetenland as an Astana Zone due to the increased threat of terrorism this would create. It was also intended to shake the Astana meeting in an effort to force it to reveal information about how it was progressing.

This had the complete opposite effect. By exerting pressure on the Astana meeting to reveal how it was progressing the UK's stunt forced the participants to announce that the Sudetenland was to be established as an Astana Zone. Almost immediately regular Turkish forces began massing on the border.

On or around September 19th (19/9/17) those regular Turkish forces entered Syria.

They actually entered an area of northern Syria designated; "Garvaghy Road." This was illegally invaded by regular Turkish forces in August 2016 and has been illegally occupied by them ever since.

Directly to the west of Garvaghy Road you have an area under SDF control designated; "Afrin Canton." The Sudetenland sits directly to the south of Afrin Canton.

After entering Syria these fresh Turkish forces were stopped at a deconvolution line Russia has established between Garvaghy Road and Afrin Canton. They have been waiting there for Russian permission to continue to the Sudetenland ever since.

Meanwhile both the Syrians and Russia have massively increased their operations against the Army of Conquest in the Sudetenland.

In two days of operations up to September 21st (21/9/17) Russia alone killed in excess of 850 Army of Conquest fighters and destroyed 120 vehicles and fighting positions. This included gravely wounding Abu Mohammad al-Julani - the group's Commander-in-Chief.

The Syrians also intensified their operations in East Ghouta. Within the Damascus Astana Zone.

This intensification of operations against the Army of Conquest in the Sudetenland and Damascus Astana Zones led to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to declare on October 5th (5/10/19) that fighting in Syria was at its most intense since the liberation of Aleppo City in December 2016. The liberation of Aleppo City led to the establishment of the Astana Process.

With his dreams of annexing the Sudetenland seeming to be once again in ruins Erdogan shifted his tactics.

Firstly he renewed his threats to send regular Turkish forces to enter and seize Afrin Canton from the SDF. It is widely considered that allowing Turkish forces to enter the Sudetenland is the price Russia is being forced to pay for protecting the SDF in Afrin Canton.

Therefore September 19th (19/9/17) was really not the time for the SDF to be attacking Russia at Deir-ez-Zour City.

Within the Sudetenland the relationship between fragments of the long defunct Free Syrian Army (FSA) and Al Qaeda is much closer than it is elsewhere in Syria. Rather than simply entering into the Army of Conquest coalition FSA fragments within the Sudetenland have actively joined Al Qaeda under the name; The Organisation for the Liberation of the Levant/Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS).

Primarily using a senior Salafist preacher by the name of Abdul Razzaq al-Mahdi Erdogan has been trying to split the FSA fragments away from Al Qaeda. The hope being that they will once again be treated as; "Moderate Rebels" and their deep ideological links to Al Qaeda will be forgotten.

One of the most high profile FSA fragments within the Sudetenland are the astonishingly brutal Movement of Nour al-Din al-Zenki/Harakat Nour al-Din al-Zenki. One of their most famous fighters in Ghassan Alabed, father of "Aleppo Girl" Bana Alabed.

It almost goes without saying that as the al-Zenki Movement are trying to distance themselves from Al Qaeda Erdogan is again aggressively promoting the Bana Alabed myth with the memoir; "Dear World: A Syrian Girl's Story of War and Plea for Peace."

On Friday (6/10/17) into Saturday (7/10/17) Erdogan made some progress in his quest to annex the Sudetenland.

The Garvaghy Road area of Syria is under the occupation of both regular Turkish forces and irregular Turkish forces. Those irregular forces are known as the United Turkmen Army (UTA).

The UTA are formed out of the paramilitary wing of the Turkish Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) who are known as the Grey Wolves. Taking their brigade names from famous Ottoman Emperors such as Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror the UTA are also sometimes known as the Syrian Turkmen Brigades (STB).

Rather than regular Turkish forces entering the Sudetenland the agreement now seem to be that the UTA will enter the area with some support from Turkish Special Operations Forces (SOF's). This process began on Saturday (7/10/17) and the exact extent of Turkish SOF involvement is still to be determined.

The plan seem to be that all of HTS including Al Qaeda will join up with the UTA and relaunch themselves as "moderate rebels" under the banner" New Syrian Army (NSA)."

Also on Saturday (7/10/17) the UK suffered another Islamist terror attack. A Muslim man drove his car into pedestrians outside the Natural History Museum in London. Fortunately nobody was killed but 11 people were injured.

The Natural History Museum is a significant target.

As they have been across much of the World in the last few weeks Turkish children have been returning to school. However this year for the first time ever they are forbidden from learning about Charles Darwin and his universally accepted Theory of Evolution.

Erdogan has decreed that Turkish children will be confused by learning about evolution. Instead they may only learn the Theory of Creation as laid down in the Holy Qu'ran. Or technically the Book of Genesis which is know to Jews as part of the Torah and to Christians as part of the Bible's Old Testament.

The Natural History Museum is obviously dedicated to the history of life on Earth. It includes many specimens actually collected by Darwin as part of his research into evolution. As such you could say it is something of a monument to Darwin and Evolution.

Such a monument stands as an affront to Erdogan and his version of Islam.

Apart from the start of the new school year autumn in the UK has also brought the return of the TV Show; "Strictly Come Dancing." This is BBC1's flagship Saturday night entertainment show.

I don't think it's actually a law that if you are British you have to have an opinion on "Strictly" as it's known. However my coverage of the 2016 season was certainly given undue prominence during the early stages of the Astana Process.

One of the most talked about contestants this year is Johnnie Peacock. This single, below-the-knee amputee Para-Olympic sprinter did particularly well at the 2016 Sultan Mehmed Games held in Brazil.

You may remember those games were opened by double below-the-knee Para-Olympian Amy Purdy dancing with a robot. Using skills she'd learned on the equivalent US show; "Dancing With the Stars (DWTS)"

The theme for Saturday (7/10/17) night's edition of Strictly was "Movie Week." This saw Johnnie Peacock perform a routine inspired by the Indiana Jones movies. In order to get him into the mindset of the famous archaeologist they packed him and his dance partner off to the Natural History Museum to practice.

The car used in the Natural History Museum attack was said to have; "Pirouetted." I really hope London police aren't planning on using that as evidence to support their denial that it was a terror attack.

The Natural History Museum is actually in the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea. This is the same administrative area of London as the Grenfell Tower.

On June 8th (8/6/17) the UK held a General Election. This was preceded by two Islamist terror attacks. The first a bombing at the Manchester Evening News Arena (MENA) in Manchester. The second a marauding run-over and stabbing attack in the London Bridge area of London.

Both of these attack were directed by the nation state of Qatar through the Muslim Brotherhood organisation. Their purpose was to hand victory to the Muslim Brotherhood supporting Labour Party in that election. Failing that it was to deny Britain a majority government to weaken it.

With the Labour Party keen to accept the support of Islamist terrorists the attacks achieved their secondary objective. Britain has been denied a majority government and Brexit negotiations are going down in flames leaving the UK in little position to object to the Muslim Brotherhood's attacks in Syria.

The Labour Party then decided to take things a step further. They set fire to the Grenfell Tower murdering a presumed 80 people. The intention was to use the dead as martyrs in an attempt to overthrow the government. Essentially the Muslim Brotherhood's playbook in Syria with things like the Bana Alabed myth.

The fact that no member of the Labour Party has been prosecuted over either of the terror attacks or the Grenfell Tower arson makes Britain look ridiculously weak.

Reminding everybody of that fact sends the message that a nation that is not prepared to defend its own capital city certainly won't be prepared to defend a patch of desert in northern Syria some 5,000km (3,000 miles) away.

As something of an added bonus at the time of the Natural History Museum attack a; "March Against Violent (Muslim) Extremism" was also taking place in the Kensington area. Many of the police assigned to this march were rushed to the scene of the attack.

The march was organised by a group calling themselves "Football Lads Alliance." Essentially made up of football hooligans this can trace its roots back to the English Defence League (EDL).

You remember that in the aftermath of the "White Terror" events in Charlottesville, Virginia, US on August 12th (12/8/17) US President Trump was pilloried for drawing an equivalency between white pride groups and far-left groups like Anti-Fascist Action (ANTIFA)? Well.

In 2008 the British intelligence services formed the EDL as a way to prevent members of the white working class finding a home amongst the far-left. The intention was to get the EDL and ANTIFA fighting each other rather than united to fighting the suicidal economic policies of then Finance Minister George Osborne.

Although I find them distinctly unpleasant the EDL are not a hardcore racist group. However they did go on to spawn extreme neo-Nazi groups like National Action. Who were proscribed as a domestic terror group in December 2016.

It has long been a tactic of particularly Al Qaeda to use Islamist terror attacks to polarise society. Muslims are forced into groups like Al Qaeda while non-Muslims are forced into groups like National Action. Society then collapses as the two groups fight it out.

This tactic was particularly on display in the August 18th (18/8/17) attacks in Barcelona, Spain. Scene of the original White Terror.

The proximity of the Natural History Museum attack to the Football Lads Alliance march was likely a factor in the police's decision to cover-up the fact it was a terror attack. To prevent non-Muslims being prompted to join future marches as part of the backlash.

The main factor behind the police's decision to attempt to cover-up the fact it was a terror attack was that Labour's London Mayor Sadiq Khan was immediately on the phone to them. Putting pressure on them to deny that it was a terror attack.

Just like Sadiq Khan put pressure on the police to declare the similar events at Finsbury Park Mosque on June 18th (18/6/17) were an anti-Muslim terror attack.

That is hugely counterproductive because in doing so the police have sent the message to non-Muslims that London's Muslim Mayor won't allow them to protect people from terrorism. So they'd best take matters into their own hands by joining National Action.

The Natural History Museum attack was actually preceded by a coded warning.

The May 22nd (22/5/17) MENA bombing triggered a huge split in the Gulf Sunni Arab world. Essentially all the Gulf Arab states led by Saudi Arabia imposed sanctions on Qatar over the bombing and its support for the Muslim Brotherhood.

Being united by the Muslim Brotherhood Turkey immediately lept to Qatar's aid increasing its trade to alleviate the sanctions. Right now the only thing stopping Saudi Arabia expanding the sanctions to Turkey is the US.

Some of the coverage of the October 1st (1/10/17) shooting in Las Vegas, US has fixated on the gunman's cruise trips to anti-Muslim Brotherhood coalition nations Jordan and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). This is being presented as a possible link to Islamist terrorism. That alone should tell you there's at least one person at the heart of the US government whose a f*cking moron.

Around six to eight hours before the Natural History Museum attack the Saudis foiled an attack against the Royal Palace in Jeddah. The Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman was in residence at the time. The Palace sits on Andalus Street which is the name given to Spain when it was part of an Islamist Caliphate.

The Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea is home to Kensington Palace. The official residence of British Crown Prince William, Duke of Cambridge. Hence why it is considered a Royal Borough.

Events in Saudi Arabia strike me as the sort of thing a friendly intelligence agency does when they have a suspicion that something is about to happen but don't have enough information to issue a formal, actionable warning.

Police in London decided in all of about 55 minutes that they weren't going to investigate the Natural History Museum attack as a terrorists attack. Around two hours later a woman was arrested for attempting to climb the gates of Buckingham Palace. The official residence of the British Crown.

That struck me as someone much higher up the chain-of-command attempting to remind the police to their duty.

Depressingly the police charged the woman who climbed the gates at Buckingham Palace but released the Natural History Museum attacker.
