Failed Turkish coup led by ex-military attaché to Israel – surprise, surprise

Is anybody out there surprised that Israel was behind the coup attempt in Turkey?

People hypnotized by the anti-Erdogan propaganda flooding the alternative media … people with zero knowledge of recent Turkish history, and/or zero sympathy for majority of the Turkish people’s aspirations for a more democratic, Islamic, powerful, and genuinely independent country … such people might well be surprised.

But I wasn’t.

It was obvious to those of us with a basic understanding of who’s who in Turkish politics.

People like my VT colleague Ian Greenhalgh seem not to know that Erdogan’s political enemies in Turkey are far more pro-Zionist than Erdogan himself is. This is “Turkish Studies 101” stuff.

So for the benefit of those of you who are unfamiliar with Turkey, here is a rundown of the four basic currents:

1. Erdogan’s party (AKP): These are the corrupt, opportunistic “moderate pro-democracy Islamists” who are willing to compromise with the devil as part of their “long game” attempt to build up Turkey’s power, independence, and democratic Islamic identity. It is taken for granted that once they amass enough power, presumably a few decades down the line, they will liberate Palestine. And before you criticize them for their corruption and compromising, remember that “honest, principled democratic Islamists” have been ruthlessly suppressed and murdered by…
2. The Zio-Kemalist Deep State (ZKDS). These are the people who have been running the country, from their base at the top levels of the Turkish Army, since the Rothschild-sponsored Donmeh Jew Attaturk culturally genocided the nation in the 1920s. The ZKDS is closely tied to Israel and the Operation Gladio side of NATO. They run the Turkish heroin industry. They are the neocon “Turkish-American Council” that Sibel Edmonds revealed helped stage 9/11. Historically, whenever Turkish democracy starts to blossom, and Turks elect pro-democracy Muslims, the ZKDS stages a brutal coup and imprisons and/or murders the pro-democracy leaders. The last several coup attempts, however, have failed, due to adroit maneuvering by the AKP and its actual and provisional allies.
3. Fetullah Gulen (FG). Gulen is classic “controlled opposition.” He is a pure creature of Mossad-CIA. He poses as an Islamist in order to divide-and-conquer the Turkish Islamic democracy movement. In fact, he is an agent of Israel. So when Erdogan accuses Gulen of being behind the coup attempt, he is in fact accusing Israel.
4. The honest, principled democratic Islamists (HPDI). Unfortunately, this species is always on the verge of extinction, since it is ruthlessly hunted down and slaughtered by the ZKDS…and the AKP and FG aren’t too friendly either. Such people have learned to be extremely kind, gentle, and careful. A shining example today is Alparsan Kuytul and his Furkan movement. Kuytul opposes the war on Syria, denounces takfiris (ISIS etc.) and their Saudi sponsors, and generally speaks truth to power, putting principle ahead of expediency. His movement represents the real future of Turkey, if it has one.

So…OBVIOUSLY this this week’s coup attempt represented FG and ZKDS trying to overthrow the AKP. The question is, why – and why now?

Ian Greenhalgh writes: “Firstly, this ‘coup’ can only be assessed as part of a much wider geopolitical game that encompasses the entire Middle East, the European Union, NATO, the USA, Russia and of course, the Islamic State.”

Bingo! But Greenhalgh doesn’t offer any framework for understanding the coup’s relation to that geopolitical game.

Let’s start with the observation that Israel’s top man in Turkey, Gen. Ozturk, tried to overthrow Turkish (Islamic) democracy, in exactly the way that Israel’s top man in Egypt, Gen. al-Sisi, overthrew Egyptian (Islamic) democracy.

Why?

*First, as mentioned, even the corrupt, watered-down, compromising and compromised Islamic democracy of people like Erdogan and Morsi represents a long-term strategic threat to Israel. The top long-term strategic priority of the Zionists and their NATO lackeys is to prevent Sunni-majority countries from ever freeing themselves from imperial-Zionist control and becoming Iran-style Islamic democratic republics. People like Erdogan and Morsi threaten to nudge their countries, baby step by baby step, in that direction. The end game of all such activism is a neo-caliphate uniting many contiguous Muslim-majority countries—presumably a “caliphate” that mixes theocracy with democracy, as in Iran’s Islamic Republic. Such empowerment of Middle Eastern Muslims would quickly put Israel out of business.

*Second, just as Zionist Empire overthrew Saddam and Qaddafi not for their very real crimes against humanity but for their good actions (their empowerment of their own people), the Zionists also……
