Last Saturday, during lunch with Scott Richert and Aaron Wolf at Rockford’s Prairie Street Brewhouse, I expressed suspicion that the coup in Turkey—just over 24 hours old at that time, and in the final stages of collapse—was Erdogan’s Reichstag fire: a stage-managed event, carried out by clueless stooges, meant to enhance the power of the manipulative autocrat who was its ostensible target.

For the grist mill, summing up informed thoughts and adding to growing evidence Erdogan's Coupwas a true False Flag, planned and executed to destroy his consolidating opposition, particularly discrediting the popular Army and providing an excuse to lock up his political opponents and press, all while turning around popular support for 'Democracy' to his advantage.

There is some talk also, in the German press after "this past week of violence" there, of Merkel's advance knowledge.

And Obama and the rest of the Worlds “Leaders” remain silent. Numerous organizations are saying there are human rights violations going on everywhere in Turkey, crickets.

So take me back to Constantinople
No, you can’t go back to Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works?
That’s nobody’s business but the Turks

Learning from American politicians, wag the dog

Ergodan put his people on the street in Cologne Germany for a decent sized rally, one of their beefs was that Germany’s authorities blocked the televising of an Ergodan speech.

Recep Tayyip Erdogan; President of Turkey:

"Islam is Islam. Democracy is the train we ride to our ultimate victory."

“The minarets are our bayonets, the domes our helmets, the mosques our barracks and the faithful our army.”

...Germany’s authorities blocked the televising of an Erdogan speech

Yes, I'd heard that also, though the headline I read mentioned German 'authorities' had blocked a jumbotron set-up at the location his Party-in-Germany had applied to put to use, etc.

[stillfree?]

Unrelated, but Germany has jumped the shark regarding all things I care about.

There is also a movement underneath all this which is Russians acting to blame America for supporting Erdogan against Kurds and to blame America for supporting a coup against Erdogan.

Turkey might become a full blown NATO enemy part of NATO
