And maybe that resistance was anticipated and exploited so as to eliminate all political opposition and consolidate Erdogan's totalitarian radical Islamist rule.
You can hear it in the propaganda afterwards, which was prepared before, and in the immediate moves the gov is taking. 100%. Totally. Preplanned.
Oh, how Obama wishes to live in a country where he could get away with it ... and maybe he does. We'll see.
I’m leaning towards the false flag coup. You take a group of military that are dissatisfied with Erdogan and fake a lot of support and then stand back. A couple thousand deaths are nothing to Erdogan and his ilk. Erdogan will become a dictator now.
Seems like a plot out of Star Wars.... Order 66.
Really makes you wonder...they just left the state run media go so it could counter the coup attempt? The person they were trying to overthrow and his associates just allowed to continue freely roaming around when it was launched and freely get on TV and send out counter messages?
Are we certain a coup d’état ever occurred or was it an attempt to flush out Turky freedom lovers so the Islamists could arrest and kill them.
