“It looks at least as if something has been prepared. The lists are available, which indicates it was prepared and to be used at a certain stage,” Hahn said.

“I’m very concerned. It is exactly what we feared.”

Some of my Turkish friends are suggesting that Erdogan staged the coup to smoke out disloyalty.

Since Obama and his admin. are on his side, I’m sure he was up to no good.

So all the western leaders spoke in defense of Erdogan against the coup, asking that Democratic institutions be respected.

Well, WHERE is the outrage on him purging thousands of judges? How is that consistent with democratic institutions. Why are these same leaders not speaking out forcefully on this.

The whole thing appears to be pre-planned. NWO wants to make sure all their serf’s are Satan followers to the core.

Yeah this is looking more and more like a false flag operation in order to purge, from the living, his enemies. Send Turkey packing from NATO. They really do not belong as a NATO member anyway.

Gosh. What a surprise. A tinhorn dictator with a list of people he wants to put in prison.

I’ll bet nobody can find his e-mails.

Germany has stated that if Turkey reinstates the death penalty, EU ascension will be halted. Taking control of the nukes at Incirlik apparently won’t be a deal breaker.

Another freeper suggested this was a ‘fake’ coup

It is started to smell like a setup.

That’s quite possible. It’s also possible that he found out about the plans and prepared for the moment, turning it to his advantage.

Do you mean that this could be a Turkish “NIGHT OF THE LONG KNIVES?” It has been done in the past..I forget where.

History repeats itself, or at least rhymes. I wonder how involved Obama was.
