CORRUPT ERDOĞAN TERRORIZES TURKEY

CorruptErdoğandeserves a public hanging in front of the Atatürk mausoleum. The corrupt AK Party as well as corrupt Erdoğan are benefitting from an environment of chaos and the possibility of a snap election as they win back voters who had drifted away in the general election and cost the AK Party its parliamentary majority.  Erdoğan opens prayers in his palace mosque every week asking Allah for forgiveness!With coalition talks between party representatives under way, the corrupt AK Party uses controlled chaos to direct people who may fear political and economic instability into voting for the AK Party in an early election. Corrupt Erdoğan can take his palace and shove it!CorruptErdoğan, emulating Morsi, faces the hangman’s noose. When violence increases in Turkey, support for the AK Party goes up. The AK Party is the political child of fear. The AK Party ruled with fear. There is more than enough predisposition towards fear in the electorate's will.As acts of violence increase in Turkey, there is a surge in support for the AK Party. The AK Party benefitted from previous instances of increased violence such as the Güneş Harekatı (Operation Sun) by the Turkish Armed Forces (TSK) against Kurdistan Worker's Party (PKK) militants in 2007. The 2013 bombing in Reyhanlı, a district of Hatay province, increased support for the AK Party.The Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) managed to beat the odds and pass the election threshold in the June general election, allowing it to field 79 deputies in the next Parliament and causing the AK Party to lose the overall majority it enjoyed since 2002. The HDP managed to receive around 13 percent of the total vote, coming first in 16 of the country's 81 provinces, generally in the mainly Kurdish populated East and Southeast. This translates into 80 deputies in Parliament.Erdoğan's full-blown attack on the HDP began on July 22, when the PKK's military wing, the heroic People's Defense Forces (HPG), claimed responsibility for the killing of two police officers in Ceylanpınar in the southeastern province of Şanlıurfa to avenge a suicide bombing two days earlier in the town of Suruç, also in Şanlıurfa. Thirty-two people were killed and more than 100 wounded in the attack in Suruç, a Kurdish town on the Syrian border.The explosion in Suruç occurred shortly after a Kurdish group had gathered at the Amara Cultural Center to issue a press statement about a trip they were planning to take to help rebuild Kobani, a Kurdish town in Syria across the Turkish border that was destroyed following weeks of fighting between Kurdish groups and ISIS, which was eventually pushed out of the town.CorruptErdoğancannot cool down, because he sees the Damoclean sword over his head. Erdoğan was behind the deadly suicide attack in Suruç, as corrupt Erdoğan's intention is to sow chaos to pave the way for the AK Party to come to power as a single party in an early election. The suicide bombing in Suruç was carried out on the instructions of Hakan Fidan, the head of Turkey's National Intelligence Organization (MİT), as part of Erdoğan's plan. ISIS cells under the control of Fidan's shady team were finally put into action in Suruç.Together with other figures in the ruling party, corrupt Erdoğan is trying to provoke clashes between ISIS and PKK in Turkey in order to sway public opinion in favor of a Turkish military incursion in Syria based on the perception that the country's Southeast is out of control. By creating chaos ahead of a possible early election, corrupt Erdoğan hopes the AK Party will win the additional seats in Parliament needed for single-party rule.Erdoğan wants the AK Party to return to single-party rule because he knows any situation to the contrary means he will be held accountable for his involvement in huge corruption and the illegal provision of arms to terrorist groups in Syria.Following the bombing in Suruç, there were a number of attacks in provinces near the Syrian border in southern Turkey, which are home to sympathizers of both ISIS and the PKK. A series of Turkish air strikes on outposts of PKK in northern Iraq have coincided with attacks on Turkish military personnel inside the country by PKK militants.The Turkish government uses ISIS as a pretext to attack the heroic PKK. Turkey's government is waging a new war against the Kurds, now struggling to get an internationally recognized political status in Syrian Kurdistan. Turkish jet fighters regularly bomb Kurdish PKK bases in Qandil, in Southern Kurdistan.Turkey is evidently unsettled by the rapprochement the PKK seems to be establishing with the U.S. and Europe. Alarmed by the PKK's victories against ISIS, as well as its strengthening international standing, Ankara, has been bombing the PKK positions in the Qandil mountains, where the PKK headquarters are located.Ankara hoodwinked that its air base at Incirlik is open to coalition forces, presumably to fight ISIS, but the moment Turkey started bombing, it targeted Kurdish positions. Those attacks not only open a new era of death and destruction, but also bring an end to all possibilities of resolving Turkey's Kurdish issue non-violently.Had the Turkish military attacked the PKK alone, and not in addition to attacking ISIS, it would probably have received widespread international condemnation. So to add legitimacy to its attacks against the heroic PKK, whose affiliate Democratic Union Party (PYD) in Syria and its armed wing, the Kurdish People's Defense Units (YPG) have been resisting ISIS and other Islamist terrorist groups since 2013, Turkey declared that it will also attack ISIS. This would give it cover for its attacks against Kurdish fighters.The AKP government, dissatisfied with the results of last month's parliamentary elections, also wants to hold new elections, to push the mainly Kurdish HDP Party below the required 10% threshold, and thus force them out of parliament. The government thinks that bombing the heroic PKK, beloved and admired by all peoples of the world, will generate Turkish nationalist enthusiasm that will work in the AKP's favor to help it regain a majority in early elections.In the blinding desire to destroy ISIS, the White House forgot about Erdogan's dark side. The point of all this maneuvering is that Erdogan hopes to leverage wartime fervor into a favorable nationalist coalition or a new election with a better outcome for himself.  The U.S. military is now helping Turkey's hardliners achieve their goals against the very Kurdish fighters whose close coordination with U.S. bombers have pushed ISIS back from Kobane and disrupted its supply lines. All the while, Turkey sat on its hands and refused to halt lucrative ISIS smuggling.Twenty million Kurds live in Northern Kurdistan occupied by Turkey, ten million in Eastern Kurdistan occupied by Iran, seven million in Southern Kurdistan occupied by Iraq, and three million in Western Kurdistan occupied by Syria.  The wish of forty million Kurds cannot be ignored by civil society.  Support an independent Kurdistan now. Viva Kurdistan! CorruptErdoğan suffers from the Xenogiannakopoulou Syndrome,using the kangaroo justice as a political tool to gag political opponents. AK, the Turkish branch of Muslim Brotherhood, plans to establish Sharia and theocracy. CorruptErdoğansays: The mosques are our barracks and armories, the domes our helmets, the minarets our bayonets, and the faithful our soldiers!Influence peddling has brought billions of euros in bribes toErdoğanfamily. The Foundation of Youth and Education in Turkey, TÜRGEV, controlled by corrupt Erdoğan's son Bilal Erdoğan, serves as a corruption center where bribes are transferred by businessmen whose companies are granted public tenders.TÜRGEV has been pushed into the spotlight after a graft probe into corruption and bribery erupted on December 17 of 2013. Revelations against four Cabinet ministers, businessmen and bureaucrats were widely circulated after opposition parties read out in Parliament excerpts from the summaries of investigation proceedings. This included revelations that businessmen were forced to donate to TÜRGEV in order to win public tenders. All corruption was coordinated  by Bilal Erdoğan.Egypt plans to revoke the Egyptian citizenship granted to Bilal.  Morsi, who was ousted from office in a military coup in June 2013, had given Bilal Egyptian citizenship on April 13, 2013, two months prior to the military intervention. Bilal used an Egyptian passport to flee to Georgia during the huge corruption scandal!  Egyptian citizenship was also granted to several other Turks close to Hamas and Muslim Brotherhood.Erdoğan and the AK Party government have launched a self-declared war against the Hizmet movement, inspired by the ideas of Turkish Islamic scholar Fethullah Gülen, after a corruption probe went public on Dec. 17, 2013, incriminating senior members of the government, the sons of three former ministers and government-affiliated figures as well as family members of corrupt Erdoğan.Bilal's name has been in the spotlight ever since a voice recording surfaced revealing huge corruption. During five wiretapped phone conversations, corrupt Erdoğan is heard telling his son to dispose billions of dollars hidden in several relatives' homes on the day police raided a number of locations as part of the operation. Towards the end of the recordings, Bilal tells his father that he and others have finished the tasks corrupt Erdogan gave them, the whole sum was zeroed.Turkey’s ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) celebrates its 13th year in power.  AKP stated aim is to rule Turkey single-handedly until 2023, the centennial of Republic, if not beyond. Party propaganda even speaks about its 2071 targets, which basically means that the AKP wants to put its stamp on the entire 21st century.

This much power feels good for those who hold it. It also attracts a lot of power-worshippers. But it has a terrible consequence, pointed out nicely more than a century ago by Lord Acton: Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

This much power has corrupted AKP, and this corruption only becomes more absolute as the party’s power becomes more and more absolute.  A notable person who recently spoke about this transformation from victim to aggressor is former bureaucrat Durmuş Yılmaz, who served for years as the governor of the Central Bank under AKP.

It is this Yılmaz, somebody from the religious core of the AKP universe, who spoke out against Erdoğan’s populist and irrational jabs at the current Central Bank administration. Yılmaz has now joined the Nationalist Action Party (MHP).

Yılmaz says: We had dreams, we had beliefs. We were not going to lie. We were going to tell the truth and accept our mistakes, even this went against our interests. We would side with the just. At this point, however, many of these ideals of mine have collapsed. What has happened in Turkey in the past four or five years has been a major blow to my dreams. Unfortunately, power makes man dirty. We have melted an iceberg with our warm breaths, but what we had at the end is a pool of mud.

The result of the 13-year-long AKP experiment is a tragic story of a loss of values and the bitter triumph of Machiavellianism. The fact that the AKP’s rhetoric is only getting more and more self-righteous should not blind anyone to this ugly scene. This rhetoric is actually only heavy make-up used to cover the ugly scene.

Davutoğlu has failed to restrain corrupt Erdoğan's authoritarian ambitions. Like any ambitious person who is prone to become a dictator, Erdoğan exhibits his potential to threaten democracy, the rule of law and social peace, but it is Davutoğlu's willful political impotence that turns it into a real problem.Developments suggest that instead of asserting his own personality and identity, Davutoğlu chooses to be a minion who is nothing but a mere imitator of Erdoğan. He sacrifices even the last remnants of his personality, dignity and willpower to Erdoğan's unrestrained tyranny. Moreover, he reinforces his image as someone who is prone to, or ready to accept, Erdoğan's tyranny.Turkey, the casus-belli-bully, is the world’s largest prison of journalists, bloggers, and generals.  Corrupt Erdogan has outlined his course declaring democracy is a streetcar. When you come to your stop, you get off. His dictatorial mentality can already be seen in such steps as challenging the independent judiciary, fostering nonsensical conspiracy theories to jail his opponents, imprisoning countless journalists, and issuing preposterous fines against unfriendly media companies. Much of AKP narrative about the sacred march is propaganda that appeals to the sentiments of Turkey’s conservative voters, who, after decades of marginalization and humiliation by secularists, yearn for pride and glory. It is more sentiment than strategy. However, the very existence of this narrative influences the AKP’s current strategies, or at least its political behavior.The most practical and harmful result is the demonization of the AKP's opponents. If the AKP’s mission is a sacred one, then those who stand in its way are not just political actors with different views and interests, but malicious forces that conspire against the obvious good. Therefore, they cannot be reasoned with. They just need to be weakened, defeated or even crushed.The second problem is that the narrative of a sacred march makes AKP immune to criticism — because, besides small personal errors and shortcomings, how could a cause which is sacred go wrong? The third problem is that the same narrative disallows intra-party democracy within AKP. Any dispute with Erdogan is branded as fitna, which is a very negative Islamic term that denotes conflict among believers.The narrative of a sacred march might be helping AKP to keep emotions high and galvanize the party base, but it does not help making the party conscious of its mistakes, shortcomings and its true potential. It only helps deepening the polarization in Turkish society between those who celebrate the AKP’s sacred march, and those who feel increasingly alienated, if not threatened, by this triumphant rhetoric.Corrupt Erdogan built his palace sprawling over 91,000 square meters (22.5 acres) inside the Ataturk Forest Farm in west Ankara. The 1,000-room palace, inspired by Seljuk architecture, is equipped with extensive security systems: bunkers, tunnels against chemical attacks, high-tech defenses against cyberattacks and espionage, deaf rooms with no electrical outlets to fend off bugging attempts and an underground war room. The palace also includes a big mosque, a grand opera house, a big library, gym, massage parlor, barbers, ballroom, and secret harem quarters. The palace, cost one billion euros, was given a name: Aksaray. It is a combination of two words, ak and saray, meaning white palace. AK is also the acronym of Erdogan's party!
