to establish Barzanistan…

The Iraqi Kurdish Regional Government is holding an “independence referendum” today under the chairmanship of Massoud Barzani; which is opposed by many other countries, including Turkey and Iran. Voting began in a controversial referendum.

Below I add two writings about this topic. First article was written by a Turkish journalist known with his opponent identity, Yilmaz Ozdil on this subject yesterday. He summarizes the historical events begining from 1992 until todays at the triangle of Ankara-Barzani-USA at his article. You can read in it, CIA, Pentagon operations to support Kurdish peshmergas, including PKK terrorist organization. Maybe you will smile painfully when you learn how millions of dollars of American taxpayers have been given to the Kurdish peshmergas by USA government, while even an ordinary American could not find 5 dollars for a day, the peshmergas did not have money less than 100 dollars in their pockets. When you read the article, also you can be surprised while PKK is being accepted as terrorist organization, (it is in the list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations at US department of state web page) how US gives them huge support.

The second one is the soL News interview with Kemal Okuyan, the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Turkey (TKP), regarding the debates on the Iraqi Kurdistan independence referendum.

Explanation of some definitions used in Yilmaz Ozdil’s article:

“Dombra” is a song by Arslanbek Sultanbekov from the Central Asian Nogai Turks. The lyrics of this song were changed and it has been the propaganda song that was used in 2014 while preparing for the elections by the AKP government of Turkey. All the words of the song have changed, and the word of Dombra, which is the chorus part, has also changed, becoming as Recep Tayyip Erdogan. In the following years, this song is still used frequently today in the all meetings and congresses attended by AKP and Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Author is making irony with sarcastic way while use the word of Dombra at the title.

“Our leader of century”: this is used by Recep Tayyip Erdogan supporters oftenly. Ozdil is using this term almost in his every articles for making irony.

Also, while he is using “our dear society”, he is making the similar irony at his article.

“The treaty of Dombra”

September 24, 2017, written by Yilmaz Ozdil, Sozcu newspaper

February 1992

USA said to us, “you will invite Barzani,”; ours said, “okay.”

Barzani came to Ankara very the first time in history. He was under the patronage of Turgut Ozal, the President of the Republic of Turkey at that period. Barzani stayed at MIT (Turkish Intelligence Service) facilities; he was hosted by Prime Minister Suleyman Demirel. He was as timid as a mouse. He was not allowed to speak in Kurdish. He spoke Arabic and translated into Turkish. In those days we gave a Turkish Republic passport to Barzani; we gave him money, weapons, wheat, and even started to give the electricity of his district.

*

Because of USA’s wants, we had gave him an inch, now the time had came to give him a mile.

*

Eight months later

October 1992

We were doing joint military exercises with USA in the Aegean Sea. Two sea sparrow missiles were thrown from Saratoga, the American aircraft carrier. The bridge of the Turkish destroyer ship, Muavanet, was shot by Saratoga. We had five martyr soldiers and 22 wounded soldiers. USA said “sorry”, they said that they shot us by mistake.

*

However, the sea sparrow missiles were not kind of the missiles that can be called “mistakenly pressed its button”. It was passed six stages for ignition, commander’s approval was required. It was not guided bullets of the type “fire and forget”. After the sea sparrow missiles were fired, there was a need for a guide to shoot the target; the ship that fired the missiles, had to see the target ship on the radar. The chance of accidental ignition was not even one in a million.

*

Well, what was it?

The “hammer power” of USA deployed in Incirlik and Pirinclik (Turkey’s military bases used by NATO) was needed to seperate Iraq and build Kurdistan. Ankara was being obstinate. Muavenet was shot at those days. Ankara had taken the message! Turkish Grand National Assembly extended the “hammer power” military operation period immediately. We never obstinated again. It was clear that the same thing was going to happen in everytime. For that reason, we have always extended the period of “hammer power” until the USA entered Iraq in 2003; and we have never objected.

*

(As a matter of fact, the name of the air elements to join the operation was not hammer power; it was “poised hammer”. Its means was that the bullet was squeezed into the barrel, triggered the gun, the cock was lifted. Propaganda’s masterpiece came to play right in here. Because of not to disturb to our dear society, its translation consciously was made wrong, and it was translated for giving “hammer power,” meaning into Turkish.)

*

Three years later, 1995 …

CIA has organized the peshmergas. It organized the coup to overthrow Saddam. They botched, they screwed up. It was not possible even to establish the municipal police organization from the Peshmerge tribes in those days, if we put the armed forces aside; they had no training, no ability to fight; it resulted with the fiasco.

*

CIA has begun an air evacuation operation for the peshmergas immedietly. Nearly 10,000 Kurdish peshmergas, which were used as cat’s paw by CIA, were taken away from Iraq, so that they would not have been destroyed by Saddam. The peshmergas together with their families, were brought to Turkey over Habur border gate, between Turkey and Iraq. They were emplaned to USA transport aircrafts from Batman province of Turkey; they were taken away to the island of Guam on the Pacific Ocean.

*

Why they were taken to so far away? Because there was one of the major air and sea bases of the United States on this island which is almost in the place that God forgot. The peshmergas that failed in for their first attempt, were going to be trained to be successful at a later time.

*

Some of them was giong to use by training by the Special Activities Division and use them in covered operations. Some of them was going to train in some academic matters and train for being bureaucratic cadres for the future Kurdistan, such as the central bank, the population administration, the tax office.

*

However, there was a small roughness before the peshmergas were taken away. The CIA had taken the peshmergas from the border and brought them to the pilgrimage center in Silopi-Turkey, by under the control of the American Adana-Turkey consulate; but there were no passports of the peshmergas, no identity information. More precisely, of course they had, but the Americans said no. The Americans did not want to give the peshmergas’ identity informations to Turkey.

*

The Americans gave advice to us. They told us, “there is an appropriate substance in your passport law for kind of this situation; get their fingerprints, let them pass.” Ours hemmed and hawed, but they had no choice. They were not in the state to tell “we don’t let them pass”. An expert team of 5 people was brought from Ankara. Fingerprints were taken from the peshmergas, and let them pass. Their fingerprint informations have been put into the MIT (Turkish Intelligence Service) archive.

*

Three years later, 1998 …

The peshmergas who were brought to Guam grown mature, and took the name of “Guamerge”. Again, they were brought to Iraq, some of them through Turkey and some through Jordan.

*

In this period, the PKK was the most beneficiary of the authority gap in Northern Iraq, and they settled well to the Qandil Mountains . Especially after the Guamergeler turned, the PKK’s passage to the region accelerated. PKK cooperation with the Peshmergas had rised.

*

There had been PKK members among those peshmergas who were taken to Guam?

*

The Turkish intelligence service which tried to find the answer to this question, sent a message to Barzani. Kurdish tribal leaders in the region were invited to talk about the PKK activities. An appointment was arranged. In Northern Iraq, we had a meeting under our control. After some chatting, the Turkish side expressed their discomfort, and the Kurdish tribal leaders listened to them silently. At that time the tea service was being done. The waiters were of course not the real waiters. After drinking tea, tea cups were collected by the waiters. Who used the tea cup was labeled with his name in the kitchen. The tea cups were brought to Ankara in the packages.

*

The fingerprints on the tea cups were matched with those who were taken Guam by America. Bingo! The 17 Kurdish tribal leaders who open supported to PKK, were in Guam.

*

Four years later, 2002 …

The US administration has now comprehended it clear that Saddam will not be overthrown with the covert operations. Now, they had to bring in American troops and fight. The American congress approved the $189 million appropriation; the paramilitary forces of the CIA were activeted as a vanguard force.

*

They bought over 6,000 soldiers of Saddam’s army. Easy to say, six thousand; the Americans gave each one of them a satellite phone, set up a perfect intelligence network. Saddam’s army began to follow second-by-second. Even if the Saddam went to toilet, the Pentagon would know.

*

In July of 2002, the CIA team took the road from Turkey. They called themselves “the broken toys group”. It was an experienced team who worked in many countries of the world. They came to the city of Sulaymaniyah, northern Iraq with a convoy of land vehicles and ammunition trucks and set up the base. They gave the name of “pistachio” to their base with greenwashed.

*

In October 2002, this time a convoy of money trucks arrived in Sulaymaniyah. They had taken the road from Turkey too. There were the hundred dollar banknotes in cardboard boxes. A million dollars weight was 20 kilograms. In order to disrupt the upcoming war’s substructure, US has distributed more than $100 million in cash to build militia power, buy men, sabotage.

*

Even one day, Kurdish leader Talabani requested from Americans, “Do not give $100; you give us $100 as $1, $5, $10”. The Americans asked “why?”. Talabani responded: “Everybody has $100 banknotes, everyone in here does not carry the money which is less than $ 100. We drink a cup of coffee, we give $100 to coffee shop. Because of the keeper of a coffeehouse does not have any money under $100 banknotes, he cannot give money in change.”

*

So, the generosity of the Americans, the abundance of bribery, had put the peshmergas into trouble!

*

In the meantime, if you ask what Turkey was doing at the same days… According to the CIA reports, four Turkish intelligence officers were assigned to follow the base in Sulaymaniyah. But they were watching a movie in a room, instead of following the Americans! The leader of the CIA team had made this sorrowful note about the Turkish intelligence: “They did not have even the slightest information about what we did, and our purpose. When they were closed in the room, we were developing our cooperation with the Kurds.”

*

March 1, 2003

The AKP (the political party that formed the government, and was built by Recep Tayyip Erdogan), said okay. But the parliament resisted. Thanks to the CHP, Republican People’s Party (the main opposition party), the military resolution requested by the US did not pass through the Turkey parliament.

*

Immediately the button was pressed for the destruction of the Turkish Armed Forces and the CHP.

*

The date was specially selected. On July 4th, on American Independence Day, the American soldiers have put a sack over Turkish soldiers’ heads in the Northern Iraq.

*

Our liaison office in Sulaymaniyah was busted by heavy armed American soldiers. 11 Turkish officers and surgents with maroon berets were arrested by putting their heads into the sacks, with handcuffing behind the back, and striking with the rifle butt by Americans. America’s message to Turkey was clear:

“Now, this is Kurdistan, get your nose out of my business, do not poke, go away,” was said. With this event, Turkey has stood up, except the AKP government! It was alleged that a diplomatic note was sent to the US, which was denied after three seconds. Our leader of the century for the first time controverted it by himself. “This is not a musical note, every time when you want it, is not sent, it has seriousness,” he said.

*

Our heads had been put into sacks, we were insulted, but our leader of century was not finding this event serious.

*

September 2006 …

The map of Kurdistan has appeared very first time. The American colonel who gave a speech in the NATO defense college in Rome, has opened the map of the Middle East and clearly wrote Kurdistan on the half of Turkey’s soils on map! The Turkish officers in the briefing left the hall collectively. Turkey’s general staff protested the event, but the aim was clear… Kurdistan was a NATO project.

*

Same month, September 2006 …

The AKP government has invented the “counterterrorism coordinatorship” to degas of our dear society. It was supposed that we would coordinate the fight against terrorism with our American friends.The Americans would give us instant information.

*

Our side(Turkish) counterterrorism coordinator, Gen. Edip Baser told how the Americans gave us instant information by himself:

“Where does the ammunition of weapons come to PKK? They come from Northern Iraq, where is under control of Barzani. Whose control Barzani? America. We have held nine meetings with the American side. We spoke with the president’s chief security officer at the White House. We gave them a cd. An American soldier was sitting in the driver’s seat of the truck which carried the supplies to PKK! We said that we can not tell these to the Turkish public. I have asked to them, “how can we still say that we are friends?” I have returned to Turkey after this meeting, I have prepared a report with three articles, and sent it to my acceptor in America, general Ralston by adding, “I am waiting for a response within 15 days,”. And they discharged me from duty at very same day!

*

Was the vileness of “instant information” limited with just that? No… Damien McElroy, a reporter of the British Daily Telegraph newspaper, interviewed with PKK manager Murat Karayilan on Qandil Mountain, and wrote: “There is a heliport on the mountain Qandil and it is lightened with spots… American officers in Iraq come to Qandil often with the helicopter, they are negotiating with the leader’s staff of the organization. The jeeps belonging to the private security company that the US government employs in Iraq, parked in the camps at Qandil.”

*

Was the vileness of “counterterrorism coordinatorship” limited with just that? No … A major general, the assistant of Edip Baser, the coordinator of the Turkish side, explained how the counter terrorism was done:

“We asked the room from the Prime Ministery of Turkey, they did not give. We asked for the copier, and they gave it six months later. We did not have a faks machine, we were sending the fax from the side rooms. We did not even have a computer. They did not give a cell phone. We wanted an appointment, they did not give an appointment. They did not even give us greetings. They gave us one cell phone line and they gave it to us after 7 months. We even paid for tea and sugar money from our pockets.”

*

Six years later, 2012 …

Barzani, who benefited from the authority gap in Syria, decided to enter the Kobane. Our dear government stormed around. It has been said, “we would put Barzani in his place,” or etc. Riiing… the phone rang. Obama was calling. Our leader of the century picked up the phone, and talked. The official web site of the White House has put a picture which was related to this talk; Obama had a baseball bat in his hand at the picture!

*

It was a kind of English version of our Cranberry stick.

It was the message of “I break the heads of those who touch Barzani”

Ours instantly got down off the high horse.

Barzani forces passed to Syria from Iraq.

*

It was not enough.

That same year, 2012 …

Barzani was invited as a guest of honor to the AKP (Turkey Republic government party) congress. He made a speech in Kurdish. The party members have applauded Barzani by the slogan “Turkey is proud of you”.

*

It was not enough.

A year later, 2013 …

Barzani who said that “If Turkey would interfere with Kirkuk (a city in Northern Iraq), we would interfere with Diyarbakir (a city in the south east of Turkiye),” was invited to the AKP meeting in Diyarbakir.

He made a duet with singer, Sivan Perver. Barzani and our leader of the century, greeted the crowd with hand in hand at platform. Very first time, our leader of the century used the word of Kurdistan. Barzani made a speech in Kurdish. Bulent Arinc, deputy prime minister of the period, was touched and cried while Barzani spoke.

*

It was not enough.

A year later, 2014 …

The Turkish Grand National Assembly issued a memorandum allowing foreign soldiers to be in Turkey. This was obviously Barzani’s memorandum.

*

As if there was no other day on the calendar, on 29 October, on the Republic Day of Turkey… Kurdistan made official parade on the territory of Turkey with its armed forces, gun carriages, guns, and Kurdistan flags. The peshmergas entered to Turkey from Habur border gate between Iraq and Turkey. Turkey counties, Silopi, Cizre, Nusaybin, Suruç were used as the route. They used the Mursitpinar border gate to pass to Syria, Kobane from Turkey. Some of them came with Turkish Airline airplanes. Turkish Airline, the flag carrier of the Turkey Republic carried Kurdistan military. They did get on from Erbil, Iraq and they arrived to Sanliurfa, Turkey. They’ve continued on the highways and made show. They did set off fireworks, and the folk dances were played during the road. Some of them had American flags on their uniforms. “Biji Serok Obama” (in Kurdish biji means “long live”) slogan was shouted. MIT(Turkish intelligence service) escorted them. They drove to Mardin-Urfa highway and ate at the petrol station. Even the money for the meals of Kurdish peshmergas, were paid by the Republic of Turkey government. What was the prime minister of the AKP saying when the dignity of the Turkish people was being trampled? He was saying that “I kiss my brothers’s forehead in Kobane.”

*

Two years later, 2016…

Pentagon began to openly deliver weapons to the PKK without secret. The number of trucks full of guns sent by Pentagon is 1,100. One thousand one hundred in writen!

*

A year later, 2017 …

Barzani came to Ankara. For the first time in history, the flag of Kurdistan was raised at our capital. What AKP prime minister, Binali Yildirim said? “There is a Kurdistan parliament, it has a prime minister, there is its own flag; it is recognized,” he said.

*

Barzani, who was not even allowed to speak Kurdish in Ankara 25 years ago, has now become a man who raised the flag at Ankara.

*

Again 2017 …

Barzani is holding a referendum on independence. The AKP, in order to calm down of our dear society, it is pretending to take parliament resolution.

*

It has been very long article, hasn’t it?

*

There is a short one too.

A nod is as good as a wink to a blind horse.

………………………………………………………………

Some parts of soL News interview with Kemal Okuyan, the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Turkey (TKP)

Can Turkey tolerate an independent Kurdistan? Or, will these conflicts of interest lead Turkey to a military intervention?

We still do not know whether the referendum will be carried or not. Nor do we know how the outcome of the referendum will be implemented… Barzani is as inconsistent and unprincipled as the AKP government is. However, that does not mean that Turkey’s military intervention is a low probability. In the first place, it is definite that Erdoğan and even his yes-man Bahçeli need a “war” for their own personal salvation, or that they see the “war” as a way out. Barzani’s referendum move offers a sound justification to Erdoğan for declaring a war. His opportunities are limited in Syria or the Aegean region. Furthermore, the accumulated tension in our region invites military confrontations today. Wars stem from the intra-imperialist conflicts, yet the economic interests alone do not determine when and how wars break out. In this bourgeois system, rationality and logic are not prerequisite for armed conflicts in any case.

What would be the outcome of such an intervention?

Turkey has become an active part of an illegitimate war or wars for years. No one could emerge as a winner from such an intervention. No matter what ethnicities they belong, the poor will be the loser of such an intervention.

Is it not possible to set forth that a pro-U.S. and Israel-backed Kurdish state could be prevented through a military intervention?

It is a worldwide fact that new states, or rather quasi-states have been founded following the collapse of the Soviet Union, posing a great harm to the peoples of the world. In today’s conjuncture, no new state could be advantageous for the oppressed and toiling people. In our example, it is apparent for whom a Barzani-led Kurdistan would serve. Nevertheless, that does not justify the AKP-led policies of Turkey today. Above all, Turkey’s credentials are extremely poor in such matters as the disintegration and partition of the countries in the region. Turkey was very enthusiastic about the disintegration of Yugoslavia. They wanted to divide Syria into tribal states by means of a bloody scenario.

Further away, the AKP government is carrying out separatism in Nigeria. Turkey played a big role in Barzani’s consolidation in Iraq. Now they want to sink the country into a war! In principle, we should reject Turkey’s cross-border military mobilization. For what reason will the poor youth wage a war? For the investments of Turkey. To whose profit? A handful of capitalists. The region suffers from such policies and politicians that continuously change sides but never side with the people. Turkey was also disputed with the Iraqi central government until yesterday while Barzani was a guest of honour, now we witness the friendship of Baghdad-Ankara. We cannot take this friendship seriously. The conflicts of interest are available at this point.

Today, what they attempt to foist under the mask of Turkey’s interests is, indeed, the interests of Turkey’s hegemonic, exploitative, predatory, dishonest and thief class. Shall we follow those, who turned this country into a playground of the U.S. and NATO in the name of the said class, only for they talk about the “homeland” at the moment! What will save Turkey from all this chaos is to build a pro-people, socialist and egalitarian system that will eliminate the entire ethnic and sectarian discriminations without excluding any citizen while enhancing the whole richness of the country.

The current order in Turkey has dragged the Kurdish question to this situation. The denial, exclusion and elimination policies and the initiatives or the peace process carried out with bargains behind closed doors without apparent goals… That is not the true path. In turn, the similar policies developed by those who are acting in the name of the Kurdish people also led to the same results. Such policies that ignore or downgrade the contradiction of labour-capital, that highlight not social inequalities but ethnic distinctions instead would not generate solutions. The international dimensions of Turkey’s Kurdish question have further complicated today, and those who have led the country into a pro-U.S. trajectory for forty years and committed murders in the name of the NATO say “We are against a pro-US Kurdish state,” now! That is nothing more than a charade.

But, cannot we consider the foundation of a Kurdish state in Iraq as self-determination of a nation?

Some consider so, doubtlessly. However, that is not a Marxist or progressive approach as some allege so. Some are talking about such self-determination that is independent from every other aspect while humanity is amidst the fight of backwards-progressive, while class inequalities further deepen and all the worldwide capital groups clash in a playground! Today this right has turned into a trump card for imperialist rivalry just as yesterday. The workers should unite against the exploiters in order to avoid this trap. Why would Barzani and the Kurdish people have a common destiny? “But Kurds want so,” that misses the essence of the point. All the nations and countries should resolve their problems on their own, but, at this point, we should side with the oppressed, progressive and legitimate forces. If a referendum is held tomorrow and the people are asked “Do you prefer sharia?” and if this referendum results in favour of the “yes” side with 51 percent, shall we bow it considering it as “people’s will”? Those who argue today that the referendum in question will pave the way for the emancipation of the poor Kurdish, Arab or Turkmen people in Iraq are telling lies. No, that will not happen so, but new conflicts will emerge, leading the poor peoples to clash each other.

A similar situation exists in Spain at the moment. A referendum will take place for Catalonia’s independence.

The situation is very different in Spain. Catalonia is a very rich and developed region. There is also no ethnic pressure in its usual forms. Moreover, the Catalans do not like the rest of Spain. Barcelona regards Madrid as the countryside. Now they want to build their own state. An underlying selfish motivation is re-generated today mainly by the aim of not transferring resources to the rest of Spain. Many countries have similar regional inequalities, and if every region acts only with the principle of self-interests, humanity will suffer from great pains and new conflicts will emerge. Suppose that a country’s water resources are located in a certain region, and that country says, “Water is mine,” or industrial or energy resources. They could not resolve this problem. Capitalism is such a social system that fosters and legitimates selfishness. It does not pay attention to social interests. Catalonia’s independence has nothing to contribute to humanity, no matter how they decorate it. That does not stand for legitimating the present order in Spain. The people should unite and shift this infamous order.

We suppose that the Communist Party of Turkey (TKP) is against the referendum on the Kurdish state?  

Would the opposite be possible? We are against both Barzani and the independence of a “Barzanistan.” We are against Turkey’s military mobilisation as well. To answer how to prevent it: only a unitary policy is possible; working peoples will unite against imperialism, exploitation and reactionary forces. Those who do not tend to agree with this option will get drowned in the midst of nationalisms and infamous market economy.

…………………………………………………………………………………………

My opinions…

When I’ve started blogging about three years ago, I have said my opinions about region and Kurdish conflict at many bloggers page. I remember it had started with a Italian blogger who made PKK propaganda in English. It continued with many bloggers pages like this. I have tried to tell that PKK and the Kurdish peshmergas were/are used by CIA and Israel, and PKK is a terrorist organization.

Many of the bloggers banned me by saying many bad things against me. Even I can say most nice of them was who said to me “you are Stalinist”.

The thing what I have seen during 3 years was many western leftist saw the PKK and peshmergas as “freedom fighters”. And I’ve asked many time to myself, “why”? While everything is clear and open in front of their eyes, why they insist to see them as the freedom fighters? They don’t see that they are used by propaganda tools by Israel-USA for their benefits at the Middle East?

And now, while Barzanistan, so-called Kurdistan is being established, I am wondering that will these western leftists think their shares in bigger conflicts that will emerge at Middle East after today?

 

“Clinton and Trump have only tactical differences”

Socialists are participating in the U.S elections as well: Only a complete overturning of capitalism can realize the tremendous potential of humanity

Tulga Bugra Işik’s news,  from SoL international

Due to the choices of monopolistic system, imperialist-militarist state structure and anti-communism, only two parties and two candidates are visible in the so-called “fortress of democracy”.

But today in the U.S. elections, there are other candidates such as the candidate of Greens Jill Stein, Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson and the candidate of Party of Socialism and Liberation, which continues its socialist struggle without concessions, Gloria La Riva.

We talked with the candidate of PSL on the policies of presidential candidates, electoral system of U.S., U.S. economy and the Middle East policy of U.S.

“ELECTIONS IN U.S. ARE ANTI-DEMOCRATIC”

Why is the Party for Socialism and Liberation running in the elections, in a political system designed for two parties? What does PSL think about two-party system and U.S. democracy?

The U.S. electoral and political system is the system of the ruling imperialist class. As such, it is one of the most important mechanisms to maintain its rule. The elections in the United States are one of the most anti-democratic in the capitalist world. For example, even though the presidential election is national, a candidate or party is required to apply for ballot status, state to state, and the requirements vary widely. It takes literally about a billion dollars for one of the two bourgeois candidates to run a campaign, so of course, that makes it necessary for those parties to be wholly responsible to the corporate donors. Then is the problem of access to the large-scale media, which engages in a fierce censorship of other candidates.

And yet, with this inaccessible scenario, our Party has participated in every presidential election since shortly after our founding. We do this because as Leninists, we believe it is essential to be where the masses are, to speak in the name of socialism and struggle as the only way that the crises of the working class and society as a whole can be overcome and resolved. If we were just to criticize from the outside without intervening in the electoral arena, we would not have meaningful access to the people, who still see the elections as the means for political participation.

We have had this year a tremendous experience, with our members and supporters in city after city, reaching out to so many communities, joining in the struggles and helping lead some, with our political program, which has received a positive response and interest from many. We also encourage those who are more interested than in just voting for an alternative candidate and party, to join our Party, which many have done.

We have helped give visibility and popular support to key struggles this year, for instance, when I and other members have traveled to North Dakota to support the great Native resistance struggle against the Dakota Access Pipeline. Our vice-presidential candidate in several states, Dennis Banks, is a well-known Native leader, co-founder of the American Indian Movement, who has been a continual presence there. This struggle is the most important environmental movement in the United States in years, and largest, most united movement of Native people in more than 100 years, with more than 450 Native tribes and nations who have joined together.

We have been part of dozens of protests and manifestations against the brutal police killings of Black and Latino people, defending people against evictions, marching against the US-Saudi bombing of Yemen, organizing protests against the U.S. proxy war against Syria.

“CLINTON AND TRUMP HAVE ONLY TACTICAL DIFFERENCES”

What do you think about differences between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump? Are there significant differences between them?

By the time you are able to publish this, perhaps the new president will be elected. It looks like it may be Hillary Clinton, since her close numbers seem to be improving in the last hours, due to the intense media push for her, and the fact that Republican and Democratic leaders alike are behind her. But we see that there would be little difference, perhaps small tactical differences, and certainly in their images. The public perception is different, although both candidates are greatly disliked. I can attest to the exhaustion that the mass of people feel, by us talking to so many thousands in the streets, in public events. There is a great feeling of distrust, anger at their justified perception that one, Trump, is a disgusting racist, anti-woman and overall bigot, and billionaire who has gotten away with huge tax breaks; While Clinton is seen by many as being in the pockets of the biggest banks, as a proven warmonger, and not trustworthy. Yet, there is definitely more fear of Trump. And that is the reason that Clinton will likely win, purely out of fear of Trump, and of course for many because she is a woman.

It is virtually a smooth transition from one president to another in terms of neoliberal policies that have intensified, whether it was NAFTA, the North American Free Trade Agreement of President Clinton, to President Obama’s Trans Pacific Partnership, or the growing militarism, from the Gulf War of George H.W. Bush, to Clinton’s continuation of the genocidal sanctions against Iraq, to his bombing of Yugoslavia, to Obama’s support of the Honduras coup and the destruction of the Libyan state, notably with Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State. The fact that most Republican leaders have all given their support to Clinton is because they fear the potential instability and perceived illegitimacy of a Trump presidency.

The U.S. president is simply the CEO of U.S. imperialism, and whomever is elected will pursue those objectives. Of course, history has shown us that when a truly mass movement arises, such as the great civil rights struggle of the African American population, especially in the South, even reactionary politicians can be forced to change their position and make concessions. We see the potential for mass movements developing in this coming period, as some are already on the march.

“SECULAR GOVERNMENTS IN MIDDLE EAST ARE PARTICULARLY TARGETED BY US”

What do you think about U.S. policies in the Middle East?

The U.S. has undertaken a highly-destructive, genocidal offensive for more than 25 years now since the Gulf War, in the Middle East and nearby regions. But of course, since U.S. imperialism’s emergence as the dominant world power after 1945, generally unscathed by World War II, it has continually waged one aggression after another on each continent. There are too many to mention here. With respect to the Middle East, we have been determined opponents to the U.S. wars and occupations, which of course includes its funding and backing of Israel’s genocide against the Palestinian people. Many of us — even before our Party’s formation — were involved in defying the U.S. blockade of Iraq, taking massive shipments of medicines into Iraq. We are very active in the ANSWER Coalition, Act Now to Stop War and End Racism. Every independent state, especially secular government, have been particular targets of the United States, because they are seen as obstacles to full U.S. domination of the region.

…

We never fail to warn of Hillary Clinton’s openly stated intentions, starting with a U.S.-imposed no-fly zone that would lead to war. It is stunning, the recklessness of Clinton and her hostilities against Russia. We have often pointed out that her foreign policy advisers and future team, if she wins, will be the most hardened neoconservatives, like Rogert Kagan and Victoria Nuland. Clinton’s doctrine draft, one of whose architects is Michelle Flourney (who may become the next Secretary of Defense), the “Campaign for a New American Strategy,” spells out the objective of expanded American dominance in the Middle East, Africa and Europe (directed against Russia), as well as eliminating the “military budget cap,” as if there were any kind of restrictions to the Pentagon’s unlimited budget!

“REVOLUTIONARIES SHOULD BE PREPARED”

What is the current economic status of U.S.? What is the solution of PSL for the economic problems of U.S.?

In addition to the fact that, according to U.S. government statistics, half of the population is poor or near poor, there are millions more who are economically insecure, who lack medical care, or who are a paycheck away from poverty. This happens at a time when the wealth of the “1%” has grown astronomically. Of course the wealth at the top is because of the capitalists’ increased exploitation over the last 30 years while wages have been stagnant for many years. The 2007-2008 financial meltdown hit the working class and poor very hard, bringing many national pensions to the brink of collapse, and 3 million families lost their homes due to bank foreclosures, and student debt grew to $1.3 trillion dollars! Yet it was the banks that were bailed out by more than $700 billion, which taxpayers had to pay for ultimately. The same speculative actions of the bankers to maximize their profits, plus the cyclical crisis of capitalism, the drop in world commodity prices of oil, minerals and other key resources, overproduction in many other industries, all this points to an inevitable new economic collapse.

Each crisis leaves capitalism and the working class worldwide in a more precarious position, while the environment suffers intensifying degradation. It is critical for revolutionaries to be prepared, to build our organizations, to deepen our roots in the working class and fight the reactionaries’ and ruling class’s solution, which is war on the workers and repression. We believe, in spite of the growing economic crisis, that there is reason for optimism, because more and more people are becoming consciously anti-capitalism, and more are open to the ideas of socialism.

We believe that only a radical transformation of society, a complete overturning of capitalism, can realize the tremendous potential of humanity, on a socialist, sustainable basis.

That was the purpose of our socialist intervention in the U.S. elections, to educate, agitate, and grow the movement on a revolutionary basis, to join in unity with all popular movements and people wanting to work and struggle for real and lasting change.

We thank you comrades for your invitation once again and opportunity to express our views. We are in full solidarity with you in your struggle in Turkey.

Communist Party: This is a dissolution in mass

The attacks of the AKP are not slowing down: Academia, the Daily Cumhuriyet and the HDP…

The Communist Party – Turkey released a statement about the recent jailings of the pro-Kurdish MPs. The statement underscores the Justice and Development Party (AKP) government has to keep attacking to sustain its dissolving power.

This is a dissolution in mass

In today’s statement made by the Prime Ministry and directed to foreign press on the ongoing operation against several MPs of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP), it was clear the Turkish government was trying to find a pretext for this operation. According to the statement, their being taken into custody like that was a normal procedure since they did not appear in court to give testimony!

The day before the Minister of Justice could only say “bad luck” after it was revealed that the prosecutor assigned to the Daily Cumhuriyet case was also under investigation for being a Gülenist.

It is not possible either to find any reasonable explanation for the AKP’s attacks to academia. Elections of university presidents were already an accessory created by the military regime established after the military coup on September 12, 1980. Even such an accessory was too much for the AKP regime.

At the core of these attacks lies the fact that the AKP has no other choice than suppressing every segment of the society. If they stepped back even a little, the power mechanisms that they can hardly hold together, i.e. the state apparatus, economy, profits of the capitalist class, the armed forces they sent to the Middle East and even their own political party would certainly collapse as a whole.

The AKP is not gaining any strength by attacking. It is just postponing the inevitable.

The Communist Party condemns the ongoing repressive practices as in the recent case of the HDP deputies and is in solidarity with those who are victimized, sacked, disentitled and restrained from doing their job under the pretext of the July 15 coup attempt although they have nothing to with the Gülenist sect.

On the other hand, this course of events also signals the dissolution of the line of opposition which has adopted a compromising stance against the dictatorship of the AKP. It is also a fact that neo-nationalists has been trying to get rid of their liberal competitors for an alliance with the AKP, by forwarding their complains to the AKP, while fascist and reactionist policies have been openly carried out. The main opposition party assumes that complaining about the unlawful purge in the public sector means a serious method of struggle against AKP. Then the question if they really oppose to anything becomes legitimate especially when the puppets appointed by the government to serve as substitutes for the elected mayors are unanimously accepted by the elected city councils. In a country where city councils accepted and tolerated appointment of trustees, it has also become possible to form a constitutional committee within the Grand National Assembly. Those who champion democracy can present their shows in the filthy lobbies of imperialist diplomacy as a struggle. All of them wait for an invitation from liberal/mainstream media channels that have been long known to be submitted to Erdoğan to demonstrate their opposition to the AKP. All of these are in dissolution.

What is happening in Turkey today coincides with a period in which the contradictions within the imperialist-capitalist system have sharpened to the utmost. It is not possible to discuss the actions of the AKP’without putting these contradictions at the center. It must be known that any “opposition” that blossomed out of any capitalist group or any imperialist power is a betrayal against the people of this country and gives the ruling party the opportunity to justify its actions. The same thing can be said about bombings terrorizing every inch of the public life.

This system demolishes the institution of politics in the mass.

The Communist Party calls workers, academics, the press workers who live on their labors to detach themselves from this rotten system.

For the time being the AKP seems to have the power to attack. However, it is not attacking because it is powerful, but because it has to. This road leads to nowhere. This kind of dead end that the system is approaching is an open invitation for our working people.

Do Not Yield to Religious Fundamentalism, Imperialism and Military Coups

…Communist Party, Turkey (KP), a number of politicians, trade union leaders, intellectuals including Kemal Okuyan, the First Secretary of the Central Committee of KP, have signed a call to make a mass demonstration again in Istanbul, on September 4, 2016 under the title, ‘Do Not Yield to Religious Fundamentalism, Imperialism and Coups’.

With International Bulletins, the International Relations Bureau of the Communist Party, Turkey, shall continue to provide information on the latest developments in Turkey as well as the news about the demonstration on September, 4th.

Below you may find the manifesto of the call for September 4th.

Do Not Yield to Religious Fundamentalism, Imperialism and Military Coups 

In the aftermath of the July 15, the US-backed military coup attempt of the reactionary forces, we who shall meet in the demonstration on September 4, 2016 shout out loud that we will not yield to religious fundamentalism, imperialism and coup plotting. The current developments that drag our country to the threshold of destruction are directly related with the conscious policy of the imperialist and capital forces to bury Turkey into obscurantism. In this perspective:

1) Behind both the strengthening of the coup plotters,the religious sect of the Gulenists,  and the long hegemony of the obscurant power that consciously created the base that supported the above strengthening, lies the assaultive project of imperialism, the so-called moderate Islam. This project which has no other aim than hypnotizing and suppressing the peoples of the world has to be questioned in total and the ones who are responsible should be exposed and purged.

2) The public officials who use religion and religious principles or link somehow their actions to religion when in duty, are conducting a constitutional crime. Whatever their position, minister or mukhtar (neighbourhood representative), they should be punished; the individuals who use the excuse of ‘behaving according to religion’ should be dismissed from their duties and put on trial.

3) Turkey as a secular country does not need an institution that gives fetwas. The Directorate of Religious Affairs should be closed.

4) As a result of an insidious operation the religious Imam Hatip Schools are put in the centre of our educational system. This is a part of the project to create an Islamic State and actually with the latest developments, this project has hit a wall once more. Turkey has more Imams than needed, the redundant Imam Hatip Schools should be closed and the educational system should be planned on scientific and secular bases.

5) The religious sects and cults that strive to root out secularism are dark organizations nesting within the State and insidiously getting spread just like a dusty spider web. Not only the Gulen movement but all the religious sects and cults should be damned, prosecuted and purged.

6) The political and military networks of imperialism in the pass of the years are responsible for insidiously dragging our country to the threshold of disaster and, as in all coups, have played role in the coup of July 15. Turkey should leave NATO and the European Union membership process should be ended.

7) All the US and NATO bases should be seized. All nuclear weapons in Turkey and primarily in Incirlik base, one of the biggest nuclear weapon stores in the world which is designed as an explosive mine ready to erase our country from the map, should be disarmed.

8) All government officials who supported the armed jihadist forces in our neighbour country Syria, intervened in the internal affairs of this country and played major role in bringing the country in the threshold of destruction, have to be adjudicated.

9) Making available the benefits of the public sources to some individuals, arbitrarily distributing the public sources as part of incentive policies, openly plundering the facilities, institutions and foundations that in the past were in the use of the public benefit are the most significant stations in the route that dragged our country into the bog. Plunder and injustice does not only refer to the wealth of the ascertained companies and administrators of the Gulenist movement. All the domestic and foreign connections in the unjust enrichment of the enemies of the people, the plunder and theft should be inquired; the ones that backed each other while plundering the country should be called to account. The plundering network in which until the very near future there was collaboration for common political interests but in which now a politician can blame the administrator of the capital city of the country for being responsible for the plundering of half of the parcels of Ankara, has to be crumbled.

10) The statement that declares that the Fethullah movement was constituted with the decision of CIA by the hand of MIT (National Intelligence Organization) at the house of one of the richest capitalist families in Turkey, has to be inquired.

11) The abolishment of death penalty is one of the most significant and irrevocable historical gains in the history of Turkey, regarding both its political and humanistic dimensions. Using the coup attempt as an excuse to bring back the death penalty is unacceptable.

12) The oppression in the public services should be ended, unnecessary dismissals should be invalidated. Flouting the principle of judicial independence, the political practice of arbitrarily setting up pro-government cadres in public services, should be ceased.

13) The coup plotters that made the decision of a slaughter and gave instructions in this order should be uncovered with its proofs.

14) The reactionary gangs that spread terror in the streets giving the image of suppressing the coup, the ones that armed them, encouraged them and used torture should be ascertained and punished. It is very clear that these masses are not gathered together instantaneously for the sake of democracy but are so organized that they can make their own coup.

15)  Openly using the excuse of the coup in the wind of ‘national consensus’, the anti-popular and pro-capitalist regulations are coming one after the other. The legislative decrees and bag laws that impose the privatization programs and the looting individual pension system, should be annulled.

16)  The AKP government cannot pay the account with a mere apology for dragging the country into this condition in 14 years. Starting long years before, the Gulenist movement has undertaken dirty missions in several decades, while in the AKP rule had become a partner of the government, clearly, in an anti-constitutional way. Inquiring these years in total and specifically inquiring the actions of the AKP governments during these years and eliminating the results of the anti-popular practices are prerequisites of a real confrontation. Expecting us to believe that a religious sect is responsible for all the mess and its purge shall detoxify the state and the society, allowing the government to reinforce its power this time relying on some other religious sects, means accepting the truth of a new reactionary coup.

Quotes from: http://www.kp.org.tr/en/international-bulletin-no10-en-es

Occupy Gezi is big enough that anyone cannot bite!

The people who were killed by police violence and bullets during protests of OccupyGezi. The figures at the illustration represent their ages.

(Pre-edit: I am feeling that I have been writing this post for days. Maybe it is. What I am saying! Absolutely it is! It seems that this has been longest writing that I wrote on my blog. And “hi!” to all my Earthling friends after a long time. 🙂 )

Let’s start!

Everyone is talking and talking for days at the other side. There’s so much noise on this planet! Sometimes I want to push a button which will shut the people’s mouth. If there is a button in anywhere please one of you press it for me:)

Anyway, as I said, everyone is talking, but asking questions also. Asking questions is always good but it seems to ask question is turning into monopolized anymore in Anatolia. At this rate, it may be created a situation such as which these questions are in our monopoly, those questions are yours. This also would not be surprised; what didn’t these extraterrestrial eyes see on this planet!

Of course still, I do have questions. But I do have the answers, and inside these answers there are the some which are already known by everyone, but a few people have voiced as always. So we go upwards from the begining inside them.

The bombs dropped on the country’s parliament. Who bombed?: Fethullah Gulen community terror organization, so FETO!

According to statements, there are undeserving hundreds of thousands of people who passed the university admission exam with knowing the exams’ questions before the exams during the past 30 years, so since 1986.

Who stole and distributed these questions to own members?: FETO’s members!

Who has been saying always that these questions are being stolen, be careful, to the government?: Opponents!

Who didn’t care during these years?: AKP and, the media and institutions which were uplifted by itself!

(In Turkey, everyone is being settled to the universities, government agencies and military schools with the score at the exam)

Have some ones from both inside and out of country played with the country’s future?: Yes, they played!

Small example: Maybe there was a young who wanted to be a teacher and has ability to train bright generations for the sake of both country and world, and was living in a little residence in Anatolia. And this young couldn’t be teacher due to the stolen exam’ questions. Instead of him/her, FETO’s member has been teacher!

Thousands of students were deprived of this person?: “Yes!”

The future of these students were stolen?:”Yes!”

What was the result of this chain reaction?

Did the FETO coup plotters who shoot the people on the streets and the jihadist types with machetes or knifes who attacked to the private soldiers, emerge out?: “Yes!”

Especially, between the years 2008-2014. While every sane Anatolian people was saying “Ergenekon and Balyoz cases are calipers,” what were all AKP and it’s supporters doing?: They spoke very well about Fethullah Gulen, even while they were saying that Fethullah Gulen felt homesick almost they were in tears. Mostly, Turkish Olympics had these scenes until 2014. Not too much, until two years ago, all country was watching AKP’s members and supporters competetion of “thanks Fethullah Gulen”, with each other!

While the resuming Ergenekon-Balyoz cases, to say “these cases are calipers” was almost crime! Who provided this environment! An extraterrestrial like me didn’t provide! AKP and the ones who were uplifted by AKP’s hands, were competing to more aggrieve to the Ergenekon-Balyoz victims with each other in those days! Now, any of them is not taking responsibility of those days. You are kidding with whom!

Is it just alone Turkey media did this! Mainstream media at world which continues to sh*t into the world was not short next to them; almost universal smear campaings against defendants of Ergenekon-Balyoz were close fought with the ones inside the country! Almost every press that you looked at was talking about Ergenekon-Balyoz terror organization with smearing to the innocent people. Does the mainstream media have really so much desire to dominate people’s mind? How much leeches you are, the mainstream media at world!

In fact, the truth was in front of the world public’s eyes. Somehow, the thing which wasn’t knew and published by mainstream media interestingly, was known by the Fethullah Gulen’s neighbors in Pennsylvania for last 20 years. However, these huge media giants didn’t see the truth! Let’s look at this video which was made after July 15, and watch two ordinary American citizens, my Earthling friends.

So, the making news should have been very easy actually. But this huge(!) mainstream media had missed this news during 20 years! I think all mainstream media gets out of it’s seats! The people young or old like this sympathetic husband and wife should start broadcasting from entire world anymore!

Again between the years of 2008-2014, besides the mainstream media, that’s very important(!) think-tank institutions which this media hangs on their words, were not sitting with empty hands; these so called institutes were declaring that civil democracy has came to Turkey with these Ergenekon-Balyoz cases. The so-called experts of the politics were on the AKP’ supporters media channels in Turkey almost all the time at those days, and they were giving the examples from these super(!) think-tank institutes. We all have seen how much democracy has came to Turkey at July 15! When most sane officers-commanders of the country went to the jail by accusing of terrorism, the part of the rest bombed the parliament! Here that high-advanced democracy!

So, it means that the democracy would not come with the support of mainstream media, think tanks and the governments of EU and USA or the others, to anywhere on the planet!

Are the politicians of Turkey aware of that anymore? Or they pretend like they understood and still try to gain some profits from environment?

What about the ones who are up level of the plotters of coup attempt? (which I think it looked like a civil war rehearsal: because I have read a lot of thing about this and most logical idea belonged to Erol Mutercimler, and basically he said that “The coup attempt was built on the failure, this was a civil var rehearsal”) They obviously want to transform the country to the ping-pong ball; in this point, I am really wondering what are these imperialists thinking right now? More blood, more weak countries, more war on entire planet! You all don’t deserve to live on this planet!

So, the imperialism is trying to get the places where they can easily exploit for own aim and make the people puppet in every country on this planet.

What does it need to do?

It needs to take lesson from imperialism’s games!

Well, the AKP took it’s lesson from these? It doesn’t seem like that! Already the governments which are the parts of the capitalism wheel are not able to take the lesson.

Firstly, they do have an obligation to act with the capitalist classes. Or else it cannot sustain the continued power. Well, the subsidiaries of these capitalist classes, how much they can move easily in like a current situation. This is not possible either. Probably it will turn into a problem amongst them with time.

In this case, victory can only win against imperialism, with rising labour class up! With real equality within the all classes! Unfortunatelly, there is no socialism ship on the horizon yet…

All right, it is not on the horizon yet, but maybe, it may have sailed.

For seeing the socialism ship on the horizon, in fact, the thing which the working class needs to see that how the power struggle which experienced and experiences still between the capitalist classes who have religious instruments, serves to the imperialism, like the others. Listening the statements supported with religious instruments of the politicians, unfortunatelly doesn’t provide the people put bread on the table. If it had been, listening the mystic fairy tales from the heavens would have been good:)

Kidding aside, for example, I look at the AKP government did. I want to see that which conclusions they drawn from the case which almost could turn into insecurity for all the country.

The things that I look at, are the AKP’s studies which they aimed to prevent the destructions caused by FETO inside the military and public institutions. Ok, let’s we say that they do the right things, and the institutions are organized to avoid FETO’s settling again. What about the other religious communities? Two days ago there was a news, at the news Yalcın Akkdogan, AKP Ankara deputy, says by pointing out the construction of FETO inside military:

“At this point, it would be helpful that the other communities are at ease. Addressee of the legal process is this organization and it’s supporters.”

So, there is no lesson which was taken!
Already, I never thought they could understand that imperialism has never came close to neck of Turkey as much as these days after WWI!

Almost all important institutions of country have seized by a religious community and it became a terrorist organization, and they still say that the other religious communites would be at ease!

How can they sure themselves enough to say that another religious communities couldn’t turn into the terrorist organizations! On the other hand, the political connections which provided staffing of FETO members inside the institutions, were never heard yet. Yes, while all people inside the all institutions at the country has dismissed or arrested, but interestingly(!) there is no politician’s name inside these. During 14 years, AKP has been in power for 14 years! And all clear? All doesn’t have responsibility? What kind of comedy this is! Who’s trying to trick to whom?

So, do they want to mean the following?: “You erase the years between 2002-2014 from your memory. You see the AKP since 2014.”

Hooray! What a beatiful brain dead! I don’t know the Earthlings but to erase the memory is out of the question for ours, extraterrestrials!

The discreet people are making the unity call on tv channels. It is nice, but not convincing. Becuase, for unity, it should take steps as mutual from same distance for both sides. Is the most important factor of the reason of this situation that secularism has been destroyed almost all inside the public spaces, isn’t it? This country was sperated by the upper level of government with saying “this atheist, this religious, this secular, this rightist” or etc not too along time ago! It was thanks to whom? Has anyone ever seen that Recep Tayyip Erdogan embrace those who don’t vote for AKP, both in his words and practises?

Already, I’ve never been in an expectation as communist extraterrestrial; but some things should have been changed over the approaches for believing in the sincerity for this lonely and beautiful country after July 15!

And for all Middle East! I have been saying all the time, all my Earthling friends knows my words. This country is very important for all region. If the region wants and gets the peace it would be because of Turkey, not with military interventions of USA, Russia or EU. How long they will send the troops to Syria? How long the innocent people will die? Becuase at historical angle and ties, the region has been connecting with Turkey, and it has been a role model always, and mostly hope! This wasn’t due to Turkey has surrounded by sea from three sides 🙂 , this was/is because of Turkey is SECULAR and has MUSLIM majority country!

And the being role model for region and world would not come with the management which has only a man’s power! The region is not same with 200 or 100 years ago, the people are not the same with the people at 100 years ago. Only one man power does not work anymore, even they can try to cover up enough with democracy fairy tale!

“Turkey will be closer with whom anymore,” is another question which is asked in these days. Actually Turkey’ all need is the peaceful and sane politics which is close to every country at world from the equal distance. But this question is being asked in these days to predict the relationship of Turkey with Russia. No worries, it doesn’t need the fortunetelling:) I have written in here dozens of times, Russia-Turkey and Iran do have the common interests even though they have in ideational conflict with each other. Even I had written this was a big mistake when Su-24 has been fallen down by Turkey. Because I know Turkish and Russian people more or less. The people of these countries do have nationalist excited, they don’t have too much money but they do have national pride, even if I believe or not too much kind of these things, they do have these. And these features could create disaster in the event of a conflict between the two counties. That almost it was creating!

Turkey’s road map currently in the middle that it needs to Russia, as same as Russia needs Turkey. I also read Russian web sites often. And some of these sites, some people say that ” If Republic of Turkey would turn Islamic and one man power, it doesn’t make difference for Russia.” Even I didn’t look and read the articles at western web pages about this subject, I am very sure, same things are being said by some of them too.

Hmmm, so you prepared the all your plans for every result? But this would not work! Let me explain to you, explain like telling to idiots who are saying these:

Now there are two disabled points in here. As first, where are these people getting from, have right to manipulation on the regime of people of Anatolia! So, with this manipulation, do they want to hint to Putin like this one: “look Putin, no hard feelings but you also know that you are a kind of one man power in Russia, if Tayyip Erdogan would be the same, where is the harm?”

And these idiots also are giving examples over Iran and Russia relationships at these Russian web pages. They don’t have already any idea. Iran never wants to think that the possibility of being an Islamic management country to Turkey. Why? Iran is shia, Turkey has sunni majority. If secularism and parliament are not inside the management of Turkey, Iran is very aware that Iran’s existence would be under threat. They never want a sunni Islamic management in Turkey against the shia Iran at the region. Can we say that they are in the wrong?

Also, this is a very tragicomic situation for Iran management. Becuase, at the days when the Middle East wasn’t mess like these days with the terrorists inside it, Iran was exporting the communities which were so-called the “carrying of Islam flag” to Turkey. Their aim was “to destroy the secularism and republic”. The result of this, many bright and lettered people of Turkey were killed. Of course these didn’t happen just because of Iran exported religious communities, there are many factors behind them, especially, the dark forces which were puppet of intelligence agencies of west imperialism! My opinion is that the makers of “Green Belt Project” wanted to pick own harvest anymore. After all, this project had been started in 50’s against communism. With 1980 military coup, the coup plotters so “our boys” (the term was used by former CIA officer’s for coup plotter generals in Turkish army), eliminated the Turkish right wing nationalists and leftists of Turkey with arresting or killing. But no body was not aware at those days, the military coup plotters never touched the Islamic communites in Turkey. 1980 military coup was the victory for the Islamic wing of Turkey, and for the makers of Green Belt Project. And then in 90’s. If the people want to learn what’s happening today, they have to look at those days of Turkey. Those days were the days from the beginings of 90’s.

Unsolved murders…

January 31, 1990: Prof. Muammer Aksoy was killed with shooting by Islamic Movement.

March 7, 1990: Journalist Cetin Emec was killed by shooting, he was freedom and democracy’s voice and against sharia.

September 4, 1990: Thinker, writer and journalist Turan Dursun was killed with shooting; he had written excellent books about Islam, for example one of his book’s name “Holy terror Hezbollah”.

October 6, 1990: Politic scientist and history Prof. Bahriye Ucok was killed with a bomb packet which was sent to her home by an organization of PKK’s arm.

While 1990 was passing with assassinations to brilliant people in Turkey, the 1991 was starting with Operation Desert Storm, and in January 17, 1991 USA jets left the ground for this operation from Incirlik, Adana Air base in Turkey.

Let’s continue;

1991 and 1992 has passed mostly PKK attacks in Turkey.

January 23, 1993: Journalist and writer Ugur Mumcu was killed with a C-4 type bomb in his car. I think he was/is still an unreplaceable journalist. After assassination of him, Islamic Movement, IBDA-C and Hezbollah have undertaken responsibility of his killing. Funny isn’t it! Three terror organization have been competition with each other. Why Ugur Mumcu was so important, and every terror organization wanted to declare of “we killed this man.”? I think he had found very important knowledges about their relationships with intelligence agencies behind of these terror organizations. After his death, his big brother and family have been giving interviews. One of them, his big brother was saying that “Ugur Mumcu had determined PKK realitionships and money resources, that’s why he was killed. Ugur was going to explain how PKK is under control of the intelligence services, in his book. Already he had picked up all evidences about this.” After his big brother words, people have started to ask: “If so, why these three terror organizations wanted to undertaken instead of PKK?”. Yes, why!

And if you want to read more about Ugur Mumcu you can read another my post about him in here

February 17, 1993: Four star general Esref Bitlis was dead in airplane crash with sabotage. Before his death, he was against the Operation Provide Comfort which was created by USA and coalition armies; he was wanting the coalition has to leave from the Iraq and region.

July 2, 1993 Sivas massacre: The biggest islamic bigots massacre for the Republic of Turkey. 33 writers, poets, thinkers and 2 of the hotel workers were burned by muslim bigots in Madimak Hotel in Sivas, Turkey. This massacre is shame for Turkey! Because, the alleged criminals of this massacre have never been taken the enough punishments which should be given! About 15.000 people crowded which has gathered in front of hotel; even despite people have seen the massacre on tv channels, only 163 people were sued. Madimak Hotel has not turn into ash without reason. The victims inside Madimak Hotel were burned with the bigots outcries of “Muslim Turkey”, “Sivas will be grave for the godless people”, “Go to hell, secularism!”, “Long live sharia!” in the hours. The lawyer figures of these bigots defendants was not less than the victims’ lawyers. During the court cases these bigots were seeming that they behaved in relaxed manner. Even some of them had assaulted verbally to victims relatives at the court cases. And four lawyers of these bigots’ lawyers had been deputy from AKP in the forthcoming years after the massacre.

After the years which passed with many events, last unsolved murder case of 90’s was in the year of 1999.

October 21, 1999: Politics scientist and journalist Prof. Ahmet Taner Kıslalı was killed with a car bomb. He was writing about especially secularism by defending secularism in his column.

The last striking name of this unsolved list,

December 18, 2002: Historian and writer Necip Hablemitoglu was killed by shooting. He was known especially with his book “Mole”. “Mole” tells the truths about Fethullah Gulen organization!

In those years the political climate of Turkey has been trend to right wing and liberal with religious enstruments thoroughly. For example, Tayyip Erdogan who started his politic life with RP(Welfare Party) had been elected as the mayor of Istanbul in the year of 1994.

The founder of Welfere Party was Necmettin Erbakan. He was very smart and intellectual person and has colorfull personality. And of course very religious. But despite all features of him, when thinking N. Erbakan and watching his videos, hearing his speeches, it seems that he was very different man from today’s politicans who had religious language inside their politics. Necmettin Erbakan, as much as I have seen, he wanted to believe Islam will be savior, and Iran will help for this. I don’t know why but I think he was honest with his ideals, he never said lie about his aim. As much as I have seen and read about him, he didn’t cover up his ideas with lies for benefits. And maybe the most important point about him is that he was anti-imperialist by his own way.

Of course, his warm relations with Iran and those who resumed this are the parts of the factors that perhaps facilitate to establish the ground for the Islamic communities and organizations which Iran exported in Turkey. However at Iran some things have also changed; Persian Gulf War and the economic crisis at the beginning of Iran’s 90, and American’s Iran embargoed since 1995, with all these, it is likely to be a restriction on the relationship with the Islamic religious communities exported by Iran. And turning of these communites into western imperialism tools may be the unpredictable casualties for Iran.

Iran also, with this new development, probably Iran saw again arising something which Iran knew very well in history; it was the only Shiite state that was quite alone on the planet. It had experienced with the effects of Soviet Russia and communism with Tudeh. There was a Russia that helped to Iraq during the Iran-Iraq war. However, on a large scale it was attached to the Russian economy over this period. For Iran, perhaps the most important development for the chance to continue in a straight line with Russia, has been with the collapse of the Soviet Union. Commercial and strategic ties that have formed behind as more stringent. The process that began with the American invasion of Afghanistan since 2001, now has become natural allies of Iran and Russia. In high percent Iran that does not want to relive the absolute solitude again would make the sound against one man power and being sunni-Islamic management of Turkey. Maybe Iran makes a sound and shows react and we don’t know.

Last week, Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s senior military adviser, Major General Yahya Rahim Safavi, has put forward that the coup attempt which was made in Turkey at the July 15, will not be able to occur without support and knowledge of a foreign country. Safavi said that:

“It cannot be said that USA and Russia were unaware of the coup in Turkey. The attempt at this scale, it cannot be done without the support and knowledge of a foreign country. There are big question marks on the coup’s supporters.”

And today, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said that “There are strong suspicions the coup in Turkey about it was designed and created by US. If this would be proved, it will be a great disgrace on behalf of the United States.”

Yes, what we were saying: “maybe it does, and we don’t know” 🙂

The people who are the reason of all these explanations until this line, so, the ignorant people who are empty talking on Russian web pages or anywhere, they think that Islam is on the same line in everywhere, they even don’t know what the history tells.

According to them, in a simple, it doesn’t matter which country has which sectarian. Idiots:)

For the same idiots extra knowledge for free: Saudi Arabia has Wahhabi management. You don’t waste this knowledge in vain 😉

We came to the second disabled point of this thought. Now, let’s we think that Turkey has become one man management and so-called democratic Islamic country. Will this become easily? While this will be a biggest impact of Turkey’s fragmentation is clear in certain, while the half of Turkey population and maybe more, wouldn’t want one man and Islamic management, it is not possible it is becoming easily; as it is likely in the aim of this coup attempt, Turkey would be broken. Well, would Russia want fragmented Turkey as an ally? Russia and Turkey alliance can be strong only if Turkey is secular and in a body. This is not a prediction, this is the right perspective. Putin doesn’t see this? I don’t think so! Already, this is not hidden truth which is known by only an extraterrestrial:)

So now the AKP government is aware of how much of this? I do not think that they are very aware of. Because, somehow constantly it is taking steps that could result in different conclusions which will occur. While they are saying “we don’t seperate the people”, when it comes to performance, almost everything is being made all over separations. As well as being taken steps to strengthen the one man management in every step. For example, like the announcing of Turkish Armed Forces and intelligence agencies, will connect directly to the president of republic; or as the closure of the military schools and military academies. 3-4 days before a retired colonel who is one of the wronged people of Balyoz cases, has said that in live tv program to the government:

“Would you close the Minister of Justice Department, if Minister of Justice is doing a bad practice?”

I remember the 15 days prior Turkey’s agenda was continuously religious education, increasing number of the imam hatip high schools, expressions of council chairman of parliament (he is also deputy from AKP) about anti secularism and Ataturk, presidential system and constitutional change on Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s wish, and etc. That agenda was in a situation constantly anti-secular propaganda. Even one of journalist and writer who is giving speeches about the importance of secularism as inside the movement of secularism, had been threatened by the pro-AKP man.

Furthermore, the speeches were given and practices by AKP’s government could be easily understood as provacation to the people who didn’t give the vote for AKP; as if someones were wanting to pour the other(!) 50% of Turkey population into the streets by rebelling.

One of the biggest inciting attitudes, was shown over Gezi Park before the coup attempt. At there, the decision about it will not construct Topcu Barracks at Gezi Park as result of Occupy Gezi protests, has overturned with a high court decision. With this, just before the coup attempt, the governor of Istanbul said the barracks will be built at there. Tayyip Erdogan also said that same, of course.

The ones who are expressing constantly their devotion and loyalty to the Ottoman, they were/are trying to explain and show to their vote base that they will show this with re-building Topcu Barracks. However, interestingly, at those days, another Ottoman-era barrack was destroyed by Istanbul AKP management. Do AKP voters know this? Even if they know, do they care? I don’t think so. Already Political Islam requires this.

The structure at the picture was built with the name of “Kalyoncu Barracks” at the year of 1782, and with together Kasimpasa Barracks and Naval Barracks, it had been announced to be restored of all three by the Istanbul Special Provincial Administration in 2012. However Kalyoncu Barracks was destroyed in an instant. It does not exist anymore. It was used as the headquarters of the Northern Naval Area Command by Turkish army in todays. The Chairman Chamber of Architects Eyup Muhcu “Such structures are industrial heritage of ours. We as the Chamber of Architects, we had presented a report on the barracks should be restored in the evaluation of these structures for museums or art and culture, without destroying.” has said.

The day of June 22, 2016, about a month ago, despite all the reports it was destroyed.

Even re-building Topcu Barracks at Taksim square has come to such a state that only two days after coup attempt, at July 19, Tayyip Erdogan has said the following:

“Barracks in Taksim, inshallah (if god lets) Taksim Barracks will be made in accordance with it’s history; even if they want or not.”

Terrorists bombed the parliament of the country, and the president of the Republic of Turkey says this live on all tv channels. This is the most important issue right now?

One day later, at july 20, the president of Republic of Turkey is giving an interview to the Al-Jazeera tv, and he says another thing in this time:

“With a rate of 52% in Turkey, it was the public who has chosen the government of state, and 52% of population has poured into the streets to protect to own government. They gave the response against the military coup attempt.”

So, he is talking about those who voted for AKP. Does it mean that 48% of the people who have heard these words are not involved in the defination “public”; is that so? What happens after these? All AKP is becoming “peace democrat”(!) with saying “come and let be in unity” at the tv channels and the press. This is cosmic kidding!

After seeing the undermining of the secularism for 14 years, now with the shock of the coup attempt, 48% of the people lost their brain cells into the 15 days?

Or the management or the supporters of AKP tries to accept this 48% as blind and stupid; which this would be ridiculous effort, becuase this 48% of the population is more educated and respectful for the values of republic than the others. And maybe the most important feature of them, they are acting judiciously. This doesn’t mean they are stupid like AKP wants to see.

For example, this %48 remembers well that at past (not too much long before 2014) those who said about Fethullah Gulen was almost a deity descended from heaven, and now the same people with all together almost swearing to him. The others who have said for last 40 years that Fethullah Gulen is supported by CIA and a tool which has been using by imperialist west in the power struggle at the region, are trying to be silenced by ex lovers of Gulen at now.

It seems very weird situation, doesn’t it, my Earthling friends:) Let me explain this view of country.

For example, those who has been saying always that Fethullah Gulen was/is a tool of imperialism, today their opposition against the government is still being prevented. Those who hindered the opponents against AKP policy through Fethullah Gulen at past, now they are trying to hinder the opponents with the opposite conclusion over him. The most unlucky opposition should be in Turkey on this planet.:) If you ask why, nowadays even slightest opposition against AKP government is trying to turn into accusation to FETO’s membership by AKP’s media and it’s supporters.

Those who made this accusation, are the people who did have benefit via their close proximity to Fethullah Gulen and FETO at past! While they were doing this, the public had been more poor, but they didn’t care! Now the winds changed, they only say “we regret, we were deceived.” And like a kidding, they want that all left opposition accepts this new situation! Over this, they are creating pressure!

The result of this pressure, all AKP wants to impose the thought of that AKP and Tayyip Erdogan are only single blocker against FETO! Yes, the memories of public for 12 years should be deleted because of that.:) Already, all opposition people know that they are not single blocker against FETO; even they are not any blocker with their road where they walked together with Fethullah Gulen during 12 years came to until bombing of the parliament!

The only real power in the country is the working people! Neither the AKP nor Tayyip Erdogan. Governments are always temporary. However, the power of the working people is permanent!

And these working people have died in the mines some days. Even some of them were beaten after their miner friends have dead. During a protest against the AKP policy at Soma, a miner was kicked by a man who was one of the consultants of prime ministery, (at that period Tayyip Erdogan was prime minister). After the event this consultant recieved medical certificate from doctor due to “while kicking the miner, he had broken his own leg”! This is a true event which was experienced on the lands of Anatolia!

The laborer miners and the public would not forget this!

Laborers were/are dismissed from their jobs, and they are starving! Due to the money grubber employers who hired the Syrians refugees for cheap labor, they don’t have a job again! One of these laborer families lost baby because of hunger!

The laborers and the public would not forget this!

The laborer people were killed by the terrorist! Even the mourning of the people who were killed because of the bomb at the Ankara station hasn’t been declared; but when Saudi king dead, mourning was declared by government!

The laborers and the public would not forget this!

These working people have dead while they were working at construction sites. Even it is known very well that if the bosses had taken the measures for job safety these workers wouldn’t be dead, still all mistakes of bosses were covered up!

The laborers and the public would not forget this!

These things and many more, really happened at this country!

And now, AKP government and pro-AKP people are attempting to establish the connection of almost everything (except themselves) with FETO; they are trying to show that as if OccupyGezi was just a provocation of FETO.

OccupyGezi was made by the civilian people who didn’t take order from any politician. It was the first civil disobedience movement in almost all segments of the population of Republic of Turkey. There was no soldier or civil authority behind them! Today, those who filled full to the streets with instruction, those who are shouting “civil democracy!” by waving Turkey flag, at those days they could not endure to see same Turkey flag. Even a flag dealer had been arrested police forces. Yes, this happened! Today those who says the Ataturk’s words with praising, at those days was saying “bas*ards of Ataturk” for the protestors. Why they said these and more for the protestors? Becuase they wanted to provake, because they knew very well, OccupyGezi was embraced by Ataturkist, communists, Kurdish and Turkish nationalists, socialists and the others, just only except AKP’ people. They were trying to seperate the protestors. They couldn’t achieve this.

Including Fethullah Gulen, his whole organization, including closed FETO’s publications in today’s, they all together had launched smear campaign against the people who joined the protests, during the days of OccupyGezi. These are all registered and available on the internet! Pro-AKP media already was showing documentaries about penguins, out of that times that they didn’t show, they were using the word of “terrorist” for protestors!

However, despite the truth is in front of all world, during last week AKP voters and supporters and it’s media have started to try to associate OccupyGezi with FETO!

In last week, the mayor of Istanbul and the president of Republic of Turkey, in every speech which they made in a few days apart, they said that “Topcu Barracks will made at Taksim Gezi Park.” This was said as last at two days ago. Already, the coup attempt wasn’t experienced! Already people have not died! Already all concern of the whole country is Topcu Barracks!

Do you know what is the history of Topcu Barracks, my Earthling friends?

It was built between 1803-1806. On March 31, 1909, the soldiers were in here had revolted with wanting “sharia” against the military officers. Meanwhile, Ismet Inonu who was the second president of Republic of Turkey after Ataturk was the one of the officers who suppressed this sharia uprising. This barrack was also destroyed with Ismet Inonu order after Ataturk’s death.

What is the situation which we came in today’s? With the support of whole AKP supporters and media, they try to link to those who don’t want to rebuild this barracks with FETO.

What does the opposition parties make in the meantime! They do nothing! Only Selahaddin Demirtas and very few CHP deputies try to say somethings against all applications at these days, but government pretends not to see him and the others. But as parties, they do not make sound enough. I think all three opposition party at the parliament doesn’t deserve the people who have given vote for them. They all into the system!

For the people of Anatolia, these three all would need to have “red line”, because of they represent the opponent people at parliament. But they don’t have. They need to be voice of the people. Yesterday, military schools and academies were closed with delegated legislation which is applied in the manner of emergency state. Yes, this have been declared that it was made for the “cleaning of FETO”. Yes, to prevent to these islamic terror organizations in the military is very hard! (Already, there is no need to bother too much to fix them, that’s why let’s shut down!) The other reason that was declared is related with everything will be under control civil authority. (Which civil authority? Is 48% of population that didn’t vote for AKP including of this civil authority!)

Yes, already the thing that the governments of EU and USA wanted, has been always this! Civil democracy has came to Turkey! Why do you complain, western governments! You should celebrate! And no thanks, don’t talk too much, and don’t complain against the thing that you always wanted, all you, most EU and USA governments and politicians! Western imperialists, all you are hypocrite LEECHES!

But don’t worry western imperialists, people are already know what you are! People know that not to need your words.

Near future, when Topcu Barrack will rebuild again, the people will now well more than ever, this structure will arise with big efforts of the most EU and USA governments and politicians until today’s since 50’s!

The sane people of Anatolia are very aware more than government, if they would do something against this will be bad for the country, and they are very rational. They know that they have to be. Even the ones seem to take profit from this environment, these days will pass of course in one day; it is just for reminder. And if there are the someones who want to see the collapse of Turkey, I am sorry for you. Occupy Gezi may never be again, but the silence of these people will not be because of you, it will be because of they love this country. The people are not stupid like yours, they will aware of all game from both inside and outside!

Now, if they want they would rebuild again, they would make whatever they wanted; shortly the protesters of Occupy Gezi are not stupid, they are aware of the everything, of all traps.

However, after all these, at last the trying to link between protestors and FETO, all will never be forgotten by public! And for the governments, the worse thing is the memory of the public unfortunatelly. Especially into these memories, if there are the young people who were killed in young ages and that the people have kept tears when hearing their names.

Let me explain with an example.

There are the statues of a minstrel with the name of Koroglu who lived in the city of Bolu at 16th century, at Bolu, Turkey. Koroglu is the one of the symbols of freedom and revolt against unjustice of Anatolia. He had rebelled against the lord of Bolu at that days. Surfaces of these statues there are the words from his poems. Like “The rifle was invented, bravery was broken” 🙂 (This always makes me smile)

And some of them the following is written:

“Send my hello to the lord of Bolu.”

Today, anyone cannot remember or don’t know the name of lord of Bolu. But everyone loves and knows Koroglu both young and old alike. So, he is the one of most important symbols about who will be remembered and how.

Do you know what are the influence of Ali Ismail, Berkin Elvan and the others who were killed at Occupy Gezi days on the public? They are remembered as same as Koroglu by 48% of people.

I am saying to those who hold power anywhere on the planet: “look carefully to his statues.”

And, did I mention that before, “anyone cannot remember or don’t know the name of lord of Bolu. But everyone has been loving and knowing Koroglu for last 400 years”?

It is being said Turkish Army Forces has seized power of Republic of Turkey; I guess, Turkey Republic experiences kind of military coup d’état right now

Bosphorus bridge

Soldiers in Taksim Istanbul

Yes, everything happens right now. Tonight two bridges of Istanbul Bosphorus were closed by military forces. Jets flied very low over the parliament and General Staff of Turkey. It is said that the Chief of Staff was taken hostage by a group which made this coup inside of army. Airports were closed to flights. State television was seized by soldiers and they announced a notice. And a few minutes ago, Tayyip Erdogan called the people of Turkey and he said that “I call the public to the squares, we cannot leave the squares to them.”

Very interesting things happen right now. I will edit this post as soon as possible.

 

 

This is a riot lettering…

It cannot countinue like this, my friend…
We cannot live like this…
Every thought, every view is like a flover in the garden of freedom…
With this low pressure…
this northeaster…
this mistral…
unlivable…
*
This is a riot lettering…
The voices of our journalist friends are being heard from the prison loopholes. Even comedy shows were hanged by founding guilty. The father of martyr soldier was considered as traitor.
We cannot live an environment,
where the people who say own idea are lynched,
where the people who open their mouth are taken to behind the bars,
where the people who are not side with dictator are being dissipated,
eventually where everyone is silent…
(…..)
We cannot live in like an environment like this, waterless, landless, breathless
in a flower garden that the flowers were plucked.

We’re alone…
Everything is between the two lips of the power who is lacking in political morality, democracy culture, legal system…
We are like waterless and ligthness tulips against his passion that he removes whatever is bothering of him and in front of mentality that is shameless of commiting crime with hatred and grudge,
in the garden without flowers…

We are crestfallen…
My friend, if you live in legal state, you run the judiciary. In a democracy, alternative opposition is there. If there isn’t any of them, you go to the bosom of the nation.
But if any of them wasn’t left…
We’re the victims of stupid oppositions political parties in parliament,
that are unaware of their treason against the democracy.
We’re victims of judiciary that is judging the people who are not guilty and have closed the doors to justice.
We’re the victims of a nation that is not aware of what happened and in deep sleep.

Bekir Coskun is one of Turkey’s opposition journalists. In fact, he is famous for his humor and satire articles. He has been making honorable journalism for nearly 40 years in Turkey. Bekir Coskun was sued many times by Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his politicians of AKP(ruling party of Turkey last 14 years), because of his writings about them. A part of the situation of Turkey, has been told by his own style in this writing. The size of those which are not telling about Turkey’ situation in this writing are enough to fit a thick book.

The US Has Been Giving Afghan Children Violent Books to Indoctrinate them to Jihad – It Worked

By John Vibes The Unites States government has played a crucial role in the development of the complex and volatile political situation that now exists in the Middle East, and they have had a heavy hand in influencing the region since the first world war. From propping up dictators to funding rebel groups for regime change, the U.S. and their […]

“For Erdogan, Gollum is on trial: even an expert has been appointed”

Turkey has turned into ‘Middle-earth’ by president of Republic. Due to defamation case to Erdogan, justice will explore how Gollum’s character is through an expert.

The doctor Bilgin Ciftci who lives in Aydin city of Turkey, had shared the caps which Tayyip Erdogan’s photographs in different moods likened to Gollum in Lord of the Rings on social media. The doctor was on trial for this yesterday. But the court decided to appoint an expert to determinate “Is Gollum a bad or good character?”

This seems like a joke. But it is not 🙂

If you are dissenter you can see how much tragi-comic this issue is.

Already in Turkey, the people do have more politic sense of humor than the other countries. As long as the managements like him who Anatolian people do have, there will be a lot of humor ingredients..

Just yesterday, 10 defamation cases to Erdogan have been in Turkey. As you can see, not only people, including Middle-earth characters can be seen inside of them.:)

Probably, Elias Petropoulos is smiling from wherever he is now

Because, according to him, Greece has lived most strong communism era in and after World War II. But the civil war has emerged. And, when Colonels Junta seized control of power, a bloody era has started. Actually he was not a communist, he was an anarchist with closer meaning. He was a contrarian inborn. He made fun of every politic stream in a way.

He was folklorist and humorist author with strong language and witty remark. Both the leftists and the rightists have got his language’s share. When the authors revolved arond the political tendencies, Elias Petropoulos didn’t care. For example Yorgos Seferis was the tongs of the power for him. He would used the “ass” and “shit” words too often. Greece has taken its share of his sharp tongue too. He had made such a definition to the democracy in Colonels Junta era as follows:

“Greeks invented democracy and sewage system. But now they both do not work; they are within the shit.”

He was tortured and imprisoned. One of the reason of his imprisoned was his books “The manual of a good thief” and “The brothel history”. His most well-known book is “The Rebetika” And, Elias Petropoulos has devoted most of his life to understand the intricacies of the underworld. When he dead, he was burned and his ashes were poured into a sewer due to his will. (He lived between 1928–2003)

And today, if Syriza will real succeed, I think Elias Petropoulos will smile. Maybe, he will use profane language for their success, but he is what he is as always.:)
