    Erdogan and the AKP/MB have for years wanted to swing the Turkish secularism towards Islamic fundamentalism......

    They were simply waiting and took and or provoked the disgruntled military elements....into action OR helped along the way.
    Yeah I've argued from day 1 that it is not necessarily a false flag, but is at very least an "aggressive sting".

    Constantinople is in the process of changing hands again, East to west, west to east, East to west, and now west to east again.

    Nazlı Ilıcak among 42 journalists to be detained as part of gov’t crackdown on media #Turkey
    https://www.turkishminute.com/2016/0...ackdown-media/

    Erdogan is not only arresting coup plotters but those still loyal to Turkish who have not openly voiced support for Erdogan.....

    Credible report: loyal officers of Turkish Armed Forces that we know, who were against coup, have been arrested for NOT being pro-Erdogan !!

    Turkey basically attempted to blackmail the EU with the Syrian refugees to get 3B Euros and free visa travel and still is bullying the US....knowing full well they have no court verifiable evidence to link Gulen to the coup as requested by the US....

    Ties with Turkey will be impacted if U.S. doesn't extradite Gulen: minister
    http://reut.rs/29ZTgwp

    Turkey has been told what they need to submit and yet Turkey still has submitted nothing....as they have absolutely nothing....

    Erdogan is basically driving Turkey into far more isolation that they were before the coup...his "buddies are now Putin and Khamenei"....

    Even KSA and the GCC has remained largely silent....

    Azor...here is your "smoking gun" compliments of the UK SIGINT....an online article in the German Focus is coming out with the following..........

    They picked up email, SMS and phone chatter from different parts of the Turkish government 30 minutes after the shooting started indicating that the purges would start the next day and Gulen would be be balmed as the coup mastermind.

    Believe this is a deliberate shot across the bow of Erdogan with his constant accusations that the US was behind the coup.....

    Because if those recordings ever went public it would in fact damage Erdogan who naturally would claim they are fakes just as the recording of his son's corruption and his calls were called "fakes"....

    Turkey has already been a country in which opposing the narrative of Erdogan is considered 'treason' and a crime. https://twitter.com/AlArabiya_Eng/st...76841304621059

    Default A failed coup d’etat can be as disastrous as a successful one

    A wide ranging, short article on Defence in Depth, a Kings War Studies blog site:https://defenceindepth.co/2016/07/25...ry-coups-fail/

    The author ends with:
    Turkey currently faces the prospect of an AKP dictatorship being imposed after a failure to impose a military one. Erdogan appears to be settling scores with all potential opponents – whether they backed this coup or not – thereby compounding the instability arising from the spill-over from the Syrian civil war, the renewed Kurdish insurgency and IS terrorism.
    However he continues with a really painful passage:
    In this case, there is an ominous precedent set by the putsch launched by pro-Communist Indonesian officers on 30th September 1965. After this coup’s collapse, Indonesia’s top brass launched a purge which killed an estimated half a million people, and also replaced Sukarno’s dictatorship with that of Suharto. Indonesia 1965 demonstrated that a failed coup d’etat can be every bit as disastrous as a successful one. One can only hope that Turkey does not provide another example.

    REMEMBER those so called 600,000 Wikileak's AKP emails that they announced they were dumping

    Instead of "AKP emails", Wikileaks dumped private info of ALMOST EVERY WOMAN in Turkey Yes.
    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/zeynep..._11158792.html

    It was reported widely in Western media as "Erdogan Emails" because Wikileaks claimed that. They weren't. Apparently, nobody checked it.

    The databases dumped endanger practically every woman in Turkey. The emails have no public interest as they're a large Google group.

    Wikileaks dumped addresses of millions of women in Turkey. Hundreds murdered each year by exes, stalkers, etc. Now, they've an address book.

    .@wikileaks is part of the Russian intelligence network now.
