Some Generic New York Pun.

On Monday (11/12/17) an Islamist terrorist detonated a pipebomb type Improvised Explosive Device (IED) on the Underground Rail (Metro) system in New York City, New York, US.

Specifically the device was detonated during the morning commuter rushhour on a packed pedestrian walkway linking Times Square state to the Port Authority Bus Terminal station. We can discuss Americans misuse of the term; "Subway" at a later date.

Fortunately the explosive in the pipebomb caught fire rather than exploding. As a result there were no deaths and the most serious injury was to the alleged bomber Akayed Ullah who was taken into custody alive.

This spectacle of an IED producing a fireball rather than a blast on an Underground Rail system invokes memories of a similar incident in London, UK on September 15th (15/9/17). Here a similar but much larger IED caught fire on a train at the Parson's Green Underground Rail station. Again this caused no deaths or injuries of note.

The Parson's Green incident occurred during the sixth round of meetings in the Astana Process on Syria. As Britain is not a party to the Astana Process the Parson's Green incident was Britain attempting to force its way into the meeting.

Specifically Britain wanted to raise its objections to the main topic on the agenda at that sixth round of Astana meetings. Plans to allow Turkey to annex an area of north-eastern Syria that has been designated; "The Sudetenland." The purpose being to allow Turkey to protect the Al Qaeda Islamist terror group from Syrian forces. Something which is very much not in Britain's interest.

The seventh round of meetings in the Astana Process occurred on October 30th (30/10/17) and October 31st (31/10/17).

This marked the start of several very busy diplomatic weeks  for the UK. Alongside the Astana meetings which it is still not a party to there was also key meetings on Britain's exit from the European Union (EU) and the 23rd Conference of Parties (COP23) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).

On November 12th (12/11/17) a pipebomb type IED was discovered and safely defused at a war memorial in Omagh, Northern Ireland. This invoked memories of the August 15th 1998 (15/8/98) Omagh bombing in which 29 civilians were killed and more than 300 wounded in a carbomb attack on a packed shopping street. That was the most deadly False Flag terror attack ever carried out in the UK.

Through things like the 1998 Omagh bombing False Flag attacks have something of a bad reputation. One that is often perpetuated by conspiracy theorists. However False Flag attacks are normally carried out by intelligence agencies to protect their sources of information in order to save civilian lives.

The Parson's Green incident also touched on this topic. In December 1987 the extremely militant animal rights group the Animal Liberation Front (ALF) firebombed a department store in the Harrow area of north London. The device itself had been placed 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.

Particularly the Metropolitan Police's use of undercover officers has been a controversial issue within Britain of late. However the innocent explanation of Bob Lambert's actions is that if he had refused to plant the Harrow device he would have been excluded from the ALF costing the police a valuable source of intelligence on the group. The ALF would then have simply got someone else to plant the device.

Another famous - in certain circles - British example of this type of False Flag attack is the February 18th 1996 (18/2/96) bombing of a passenger bus in the Aldwych area of London. As with the 1998 Omagh bombing this was blamed on the Provisional Irish Republican Army (PIRA).

Due to the way the PIRA used to operate it was rare that one of their bombmakers would ever meet the person tasked with planting their bombs. Somewhere between the bombmaker and the bomb planter the timer on the Aldwych bomb was switched from a 24 clock to a 12 clock.

As a result the Aldwych bomb exploded 12 hours before it was supposed to. Rather than doing extensive property damage and potentially killing civilians it merely killed the PIRA member tasked with planting it and destroyed an old bus that was just weeks away from retirement.

No doubt the member of the British intelligence service who made that switch had their deep cover within PIRA preserved. That was important because the Aldwych bomb occurred as part of a large PIRA bombing campaign. This began with the massive February 9th (9/2/96) bombing in the Canary Wharf area of London and included the massive June 15th (15/6/96) bombing in the city of Manchester.

The Omagh pipebomb discovery was followed on November 13th (13/11/17) by the BBC World Service News expose; "Raqqa's Dirty Secret." This alleged that a number of fighters from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) had been allowed to flee the Syrian city of Raqqa for Turkey.

Combined Turkish President/Prime Minister/Emperor Recep Tayyip Erdogan took these twin events as reference to the Garvaghy Road area of Syria. This roughly 100km (60 mile) wide stretch of Syria's border with Turkey was created in August 2016 when Erdogan sent regular Turkish forces to illegally invade and occupy it.

Garvaghy Road was initially created to allow Erdogan to continue supplying ISIL to the south-east of the area and Al Qaeda to the south-west of the area. However with both ISIL and Al Qaeda having suffered significant defeats since then Garvaghy Road has emerged as an escape route through which their fighters can flee via Turkey.

In the past few days Syria's Garvaghy Road has emerged as a very clear threat to victory against ISIL and Al Qaeda.

On Sunday (10/12/17) it was confirmed that a large number of French and Algerians who had fought for ISIL in Syria and Iraq have now emerged in Afghanistan where they are bolstering the ranks of ISIL's self-styled; "Khorasan Province." This along with other evidence has led Russia to warn that Afghanistan is emerging as ISIL's next main stronghold.

On Monday (11/12/17) the African Union warned that as many as 6,000 ISIL fighters could return to the continent. That risks spreading violence across nations such as Somalia, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Nigeria, Cameroon, Chad and Niger where US Special Operations Forces (SOF's) were recently killed.

Despite a growing awareness of the threat posed by Garvaghy Road its existence was consolidated by the US on December 6th (6/12/17). US President Donald Trump recognised Jerusalem as Israel's capital before immediately suspending his announcement.

Like Syria's Garvaghy Road and the Sudetenland Jerusalem is occupied territory. By saying that Israel can claim Jerusalem as its territory the US is equally saying that Turkey can claim Garvaghy Road and the Sudetenland as it's territory.

Initially the New York City pipebomber declare that he had carried out the attack in response to the recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital. However given the time it takes to assemble the components for and then assemble a pipebomb this is highly unlikely to be true. Further investigation has linked Ullah to ISIL all the way back to 2014.

The big winner from Trump's announcement has be Erdogan. Aside from the apparent recognition of Garvaghy Road and the Sudetenland as Turkish territory Erdogan has long used the issue of Jerusalem to mobilise his supporters in an effort to portray him as the leader of the Muslim world.

The most recent example of this occurred in July 2017. Erdogan backed Palestinians to conduct a terrorist attack at the al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem killing two Israeli police officers. This attack occurred on the morning of July 14th (14/7/17) and led to the Mosque being closed for the very important Muslim Friday midday prayers.

Erdogan then leapt on the temporary closure which he'd created as evidence that Israel was going to permanently exclude Muslims from the Mount of God's Holy House site. This lead to weeks of tension.

Erdogan's Turkey, Qatar, ISIL and Al Qaeda are all linked through the Muslim Brotherhood organisation who were founded in Egypt in 1928. In 1987 the Muslim Brotherhood went on to form the Palestinian group Hamas.

Over the course of the past year Hamas have broken off their ties with the Muslim Brotherhood. This has prompted Erdogan to try and replace Hamas with a more obedient group.

Within Palestine itself Hamas' main rival is the Islamic Jihad group. Their military wing is the al-Quds or Jerusalem Brigade. Within Egypt which Hamas relies on for its supply routes their main rival are ISIL's Sinai Province. They are formed out of the group Ansar Bait al-Maqdis (ABM) or Defenders of the Holy House by which they mean the Mount of God's Holy House in Jerusalem.

By making Jerusalem the issue Erdogan has been well placed to boost support for both Islamic Jihad and ISIL's Sinai Province at the expense of Hamas.

In May 2017 a massive split emerged between the Gulf Nations. On one side you have Saudi Arabia and on the other you have Qatar backed by Turkey. The main issue behind the split is Iran but a close second is Qatar and Turkey's support for the Muslim Brotherhood.

Today (13/12/17) Erdogan is hosting an emergency meeting of the Organisation for Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in Turkey. The main call is Islamic Unity for al-Quds (Jerusalem).

Erdogan is clearly hoping this call for Islamic Unity leads to the split with Saudi Arabia being brought to an end with Saudi Arabia backing down over Qatar and Erdogan's support for the Muslim Brotherhood.

Trump's Jerusalem announcement was immediately followed on December 7th (7/12/17) by a US call for Saudi Arabia to end its blockade on Yemen. This is something that has been going on since 2015. However it is only since the split with Qatar and Turkey that people have suddenly been concerned by it.

So despite Erdogan's public protests it does look very much as if behind the scenes Erdogan has instructed the US to recognise Jerusalem as Israel's capital so he can profit from the backlash.

Through things like the Robert Mueller Special Counsel investigation it is clear that there are a number of US officials operating in what in Turkey would be called; "The Deep State" who wish to oust Trump as US President. Particularly in the US State Department these are the people Trump has to rely on to advise him on issues such as Jerusalem.

In response to this deep opposition Trump has become interested in shoring up his support base. A large part of that support base are Evangelical Christians. They wish to see Jerusalem recognised as Israel's capital in order to fulfil almost a Biblical fairystory.

In order to appeal to Evangelical Christians during the campaign Trump appointed the Evangelical Christian Mike Pence to be his running mate. Now Pence is Vice President if the attempts to oust Trump were to succeed then Pence would automatically become President. This prospect has led to many Republicans failing to oppose things like the Mueller investigation as robustly as they should.

Trump's relationship with the Evangelical Christians has been called into sharp focus by yesterday (12/12/17) special Senate election in Alabama.

In this race Trump initially backed Luther Strange in the Republican primary. However Strange lost to Roy Moore because Moore is an Evangelical Christian and a lot of Republican voters in Alabama are also Evangelical Christians.

The Alabama Senate race has become the sole focus on the entire national Democrat Party campaign. Their main strategy has been a smear campaign accusing Roy Moore of sexual impropriety - particularly against pubescent girls.

Moore's main accuser has been a woman by the name of Deborah Wesson Gibson. She is a high level employee of the Democrat Party having worked as a sign language interpreter both for Hillary Clinton and former Vice President Joe Biden. Her main piece of evidence has been an inscription she claims Moore wrote in her High School yearbook.

Ever since Wesson Gibson produced this yearbook people have been asking for it to be forensically examined by an expert to certify it as authentic. Wesson Gibson has repeatedly refused.

On - I think - Thursday (7/12/17) Wesson Gibson was forced to admit why she wouldn't allow the yearbook to be verified. She confirmed that in part at least the inscription had been written not by Moore but by her herself. As a result no forensic examiner could certify it as genuine.

However the US news media does have this problem. They seem to view their role as not to report facts but to make up lies to ensure that Democrats seize power.

As a result Wesson Gibson's claims are widely being treated as fact making Moore an absolutely toxic candidate. This has led to Trump not lending his support to Moore angering some in his Evangelical base.

A terror attack occurring just before an election race the Democrat Party see as key should sadly come as no surprise to the people of New York City.

On November 7th (7/11/17) there was the gubernatorial election in the state of Virginia. This was proceeded by the Halloween (31/10/17) terror attack on New York City's westside in which eight people were killed.

Apart from being a powerplay during the seventh round of meetings in the Astana Process this was intended to help the Democrats win the Virginia election. The hope was that it would be viewed as Trump ordering a False Flag attack and killing US citizens in the hope of furthering his racist agenda.

The key issue in the Virginia race were the events on August 12th (12/8/17) in Charlottesville. Following a; "Unite the Rally" a counter-protester named Heather Hyer was killed in a vehicle collision. This was used by the Democrats to accuse Trump and the Republicans of racism.

On December 1st (1/12/17) - curiously after the November 7th (7/11/17) election - an independent report into those events released its findings. It found that the Democrat run State and City failed to properly protect the public. In short it found that the Democrats created the conditions which led to Heather Hyer's death.

The main claim supporting the Mueller investigation is that it is needed to protect the US election process from foreign interference.

A foreign nation conducting a terror attack killing eight people to influence a US election is exactly the type of foreign interference Mueller should concern himself. As would the Democrats themselves killing a US citizen in an effort to create a martyr to help themselves win an election.

Monday's (11/12/17) pipebomb in New York City was in a similar vain. Through the would be bomber's likely false statements there was a clear effort to link the attack to Trump's Jerusalem statement.

Many Democrat supporters on social media were quick to point out that Ullah was from Bangladesh - a nation not on Trump's travel ban. Evidence in their eyes at least that Trump's ban was motivated by racism rather than security.

It was publicly announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) were overseeing security at yesterday's (12/12/17) vote in Alabama. In itself this sounds like a Federal body interfering to swing the result of the vote in the Democrats favour.

Alabama was scene of Martin Luther King's famous Selma to Montgomery Civil Rights March in 1965. As a result race has always been a significant factor in local politics. The Democrats tried to cash in on this by standing a candidate Doug Jones who had previously prosecuted members of the racist Ku Klux Klan.

The DHS announcing it is overseeing security is to effectively accuse Roy Moore and the Republicans of racism and trying to suppress the black vote. The short of declaration that motivates black voters to go out and vote for the Democrat candidate.

The DHS also let it be known they were concerned with cybersecurity. The implication being to guard against Russian hackers. Again this sees the DHS side with the Democrats main narrative which has included the release of video showing Roy Moore use basic Russian phrases.

It has emerged that during the 2016 Presidential election  outgoing President Barack Obama abused his power by getting the FBI to monitor and intervene on social media. Their mission was to remove negative comments and stories about Democrats and in particular his designated successor Hillary Clinton.

In doing this Obama seems to have been inspired by the Republic of Korea (RoK) National Intelligence Service (NIS) spy agency.

What a lot of people forget about the RoK is that it was run as a brutal military dictatorship under Park Chung-hee between 1963 and 1979. It is a good pub quiz question; "In which decade did South Korea become a UN member?" - it is a lot later than you would think.

In the 2012 the NIS invoked the tactics of the military dictatorship to ensure Park Chung-hee's daughter Park Geun-hye was became President. This effort involved them monitoring social media to place positive stories and comments about Ms Park and remove negative ones about her.

At the time of the 2016 US Presidential election there was mass protests against Park Geun-hye that eventually saw her impeached in a scandal that saw many South Koreans fearful their nation was moving away from democracy towards military dictatorship.

Doug Jones has provisionally been declared the winner in Alabama with 49.9% of the vote to Roy Moore's 48.4%.

The involvement of the DHS seems intended then to promote a discussion about election rigging by the Democrat Party and the dark state US democracy seems to find itself in at the moment.

It is likely then that Moore will seek a recount. The apparent rush by Alabama officials to declare the result as valid does not say much about their integrity.
