TURKEY IMMUNE? USA BACKED BROTHERHOOD IN EGYPT

Istanbul Street Scene
Istanbul by mandalaybus )

Is Turkey already part of the New World Order?

Is it therefore immune to the CIA coups that have hit North Africa?

The key groups in Turkey are:

(1) the generals

(2) the Fethullah Gulen movement.

(CIA CONTROL VIA FETHULLAH? / THE NEW WORLD ORDER AND TURKEY)

Both are said to be tools of the CIA.

Gulen in the USA.

In previous decades the CIA controlled Turkey by getting the Turkish generals to carry out false flag terrorism and coups. (KILLING KIDS ON A FIELD TRIP; ERGENEKON AND 9 11)

Now the CIA may be using the Moslem Gulen movement to control Turkey.

On 11 March 2011, at Todays Zaman, we read about Journalism during the time of Ergenekon‎

Ergenekon is the name given to the gang which carried out acts of false flag terrorism in Turkey.

It is said to have been run by Turkish generals, the CIA, NATO, and Mossad; and it is said to have links to the heroin trade.

Nedim Şener and Ahmet Şık are award-winning journalists who helped expose the Ergenekon network and a coup plan.

They have been arrested.

It is claimed by the authorities that they were members of Ergenekon.

Some people think they were arrested because of the book they wrote containing allegations against the Gülen movement.

The Gülen movement has influence in the judiciary and police.

However, it is possible that the Ergenekon gang has got certain people to write books that will 'confuse people and damage the legitimacy of the Ergenekon case.'

Allegedly, Gulen has links to the Muslim Brotherhood.

In Egypt, the U.S. Secretly Backed the Brotherhood.

According to former editor of the Japan Times Weekly, Yochi Shimatsu, writing on 17 February 2011:

1. A leaked diplomatic cable shows the US State Department, over the past three years, had secret talks with Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood.

2. The December 2008 cable is entitled "Meeting and Regime Change in Egypt".

3. Half of the suspected 9/11 hijackers, including Atta, were Egyptians linked to the Muslim Brotherhood.

4.
At the first major Cairo protest on 25 January 2011, Jared Cohen, a former State Department staffer in charge of planning the Twitter revolution, was physically present with his proteges in the American-sponsored April 6 Youth Movement.

The April 6 Youth Movement is allied with the Muslim Brotherhood.

Cohen has links to Israel and the writings of Gene Sharp.

5. Former Cairo ambassador Frank Wisner Jr, an intelligence expert whose father organized Operation Gladio, landed in Egypt on 31 January.

Many thanks to BRIAN for the link.

COLONEL ADMITS TO FALSE FLAG ATTACKS IN TURKEY, REPORTEDLY

Dogan

On 22 Septemner 2010, Today's Zaman relates that in Turkey, a Colonel Arif Doğan has reportedly confessed that his Turkish intelligence unit committed false flag attacks

A voice recording has been put up online by an anonymous poster.

Allegedly, the recording features the voice of Turkey's Colonel Arif Dogan.

Dogan is currently under arrest as a suspect in the military's 'Ergenekon' plot to topple the Turkish government.

The voice reveals information about 'JİTEM', an intelligence unit illegally set up by the Turkish military.

(Reportedly, the Turkish military's 'Ergenekon' plot was masterminded by the CIA.)



In the voice recording, the supposed voice of Doğan confesses to the following:

1. Organising false flag murders of members of Turkey's Alevis Moslem sect.

2. Stopping an operation that would have caught terrorist Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) leader Abdullah Öcalan.

3. Killing 100 people in a false flag attack in Syria (in Cemsheref)

The voice believed to be Doğan says of JITEM: "It came into being with me".

Doğan had said in his testimony in court that JİTEM was set up by his bosses in the Turkish military.

NORTHERN CYPRUS, ISRAEL, TERRORISM AND HEROIN

The election of a right-wing president in Northern Cyprus could help Israel and the 'fascists' in Turkey who have links to the Pentagon.

The Pentagon, NATO and Israel have long used the 'stay behind' groups to try to control Europe, including Turkey. (Stay-behind - Wikipedia)

The 'stay behind' groups have been linked to terrorism and heroin smuggling in Europe and Turkey. (ergenekon "stay behind" in many countries)

The 1980 Bologna Bomb was reportedly the work of stay-behind operatives, as part of Operation Gladio, (terrorism in Europe)


The 'stay-behind' groups 'Gladio-style terrorism' has reportedly hit Istanbul, New York, and other parts of the world.

The present government of Turkey has exposed 'Ergenekon', the reported attempt by the CIA, NATO and Israel to use terror and heroin to control Turkey. (KILLING KIDS ON A FIELD TRIP; ERGENEKON AND 9 11)

Dervis Eroglu by Armagan Orki © All rights reserved.

http://arthurzbygniew.blogspot.com/ has drawn our attention to an article about Cyprus by Wayne Madsen, dated 19 April 2010. (http://www.waynemadsenreport.com/articles/20100419)

Among the points made by Wayne Madsen:

1. In April 2010, Turkish Northern Cyprus elected a new president, the hard-line right wing Dervid Eroglu.

This will 'embolden' the right-wing Ergenekon (stay-behind) forces in Turkey and North Cyprus.

2. Turkish Northern Cyprus is used by Jewish 'gangster tycoons', who are involved in casinos and money laundering.

North Cyprus has always benefited from the quiet support of Israel.

3. Israelis run hotel-casino complexes in North Cyprus.

The proceeds can be laundered into funding Ergenekon activities in North Cyprus, as well as mainland Turkey.

Turkish Northern Cyprus

4. In the late 1990s, Ariel Sharon and his family began to make casino deals on the West Bank and Cyprus.

Israeli casino flights now fly to North Cyprus.

5. Israeli businessman Roni Kuperberg owns the Chateau Lambousa casino, west of Kyrenia in northern Cyprus.

Israel's Ofer Grou, owned by Israeli businessman Sami Ofer, announced plans in 2007 to build a hotel casino complex in North Cyprus.

One major Israeli player in North Cypriot gambling is Teddy Sagi.

In 1999, Sagi and three other Israelis started Playtech, a provider of on-line gambling software.

"Sagi is a convicted stock fraudster, having been convicted of fraud in the 1996 'Discount affair,' a stock manipulation scheme."

In 2009, Playtech Cyprus, Ltd. began providing casino equipment to a new Bucharest casino owned by Africa-Israel Investments, Ltd, owned by Israeli multi-billionaire Lev Leviev.

Northern Cyprus

6. The North Cyprus connection to Ergenekon was highlighted in 2006 when an armed clash broke out in between gangs loyal to two casino owners in Northern Cyprus.

One of the parties was reported to have been Yasar Oz, a suspect in the Ergenekon network.


Yasar oz was exposed in the Susurluk car crash incident in 1996, in which documents related to Ergenekon first surfaced.

THE TURKISH GENERALS ARE STILL IN BED WITH MOSSAD?

Turkish generals, in bed with Israel?

Have some of the Turkish generals been acting against the interests of the USA?

Recently, the Turkish police arrested 49 military officers over a coup plot

The Israeli lobby appears to be defending the generals. (Following the money trail amid traps)

It looks as though some of the Turkish generals are in bed with Israel and Mossad.

The generals reportedly plotted to bomb one of Istanbul's largest mosques during Friday prayers and blame it on mad Moslems.

The generals reportedly plotted to deliberately down a Turkish jet and blame it on Greece, which foolishly sees Israel as a friend! (Coups away )

Marc Grossman, who was United States Ambassador to Turkey, Assistant Secretary of State for European Affairs, and Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs.

Mostaque Ali has written 'Hustling for justice.'

Among the points made:

1. Sibel Edmonds has made allegations about the theft of nuclear secrets from the USA by foreign allies and enemies.

Edmonds said that Marc Grossman had accepted cash to help procure and sell nuclear weapons technology to Turkey.

2. Edmonds claimed that Grossman, the U.S. Ambassador to Turkey before taking his State Department post, had tipped off Turkish diplomats to the true identity of covert CIA operative Valerie Plame Wilson’s front company, Brewster Jennings & Associates.

3. Reportedly, the Israelis and the Turks obtained influence over US legislators and over a number of senior government officials at the Pentagon and State Department.

4. According to Sibel Edmonds, Grossman bragged that if the Turks wanted a story to appear in the media, he could arrange it.

5. Reportedly Israel approached India many times during the 1980's to attack Pakistan's nuclear facilities.

Reportedly Israel simultaneously supplied Pakistan with nuclear technology stolen from the USA.

Ataturk, who became prime minister of Turkey in 1920.

It has been argued that Turkey has many crypto-Jews (Jews who appear not to be Jews).

The Young Turk movement, which set up modern Turkey at the beginning of the 20th century, is reported to have been run by crypto-Jews. (CRYPTO JEWS, TURKEY, AND 9 11)

Kemal Ataturk and other Young Turks were reportedly of Jewish origin. (Jewish Founders of Modern (Secular) Turkey)

The Armenian Holocaust of 1915 was reportedly engineered by the Jews of the Young Turks.

In this holocaust, 1.5 million Armenian Christians were starved, tortured, and murdered.

On 3 March 2010, John L. Esposito, at middle-east-online (The Crisis in Turkey?) wrote:

"In the past week, several alarmist pieces, including Soner Cagaptay's 'What's Really Behind Turkey's Coup Arrests?' and Daniel Pipes' 'Crisis in Turkey,' have warned of a mortal crisis that threatens Turkey's future and its relationship with Europe and the US.

"Both are particularly exasperated by the continued arrest and indictment of senior military for conspiring to commit acts of terrorism in a plot to overthrow the government and what they see as an alliance between the ruling AK party and Fetullah Gulen's movement."

So, apparently, Israel is still friends with the Turkish generals.

CIA CONTROL VIA FETHULLAH?

Image from: www.bomblondon.com/

The USA is in some ways like Turkey.

Obama took over from Bush, but there was little change.

In Turkey, the 'Ergenekon' organisation may be repaced with 'Fethullah', whose followers 'have taken positions in all governmental and military institutions.' (Government Sponsored Terror Squad Killing Assyrians, Other Minorities in Turkey)

Ergenekon was CIA.

Fethullah may be CIA or something else?

In Turkey, the 'bad guys' of Ergenekon appeared to occupy important positions in the military, the police, the security services, the universities, the media and all the main political parties.

The 'bad guys' seemed to have infiltrated the left wing parties, the right wing parties and even the Islamic AKP party.

In Turkey, Ergenekon is the secret organisation which has been linked to fascism, the CIA, and the drugs mafia.

"A large number of professionally set up Web sites have recently been revealed as being controlled by Ergenekon. These sites offer nationalist and left-wing content..." (ORGANIZED RAGE: Ergenekon.)

Implicated as leading figures within Ergenekon are "the leading Cumhuriyet newspaper columnist İlhan Selçuk, the Turkish Orthodox Patriarchate’s press spokeswoman Sevgi Erenerol; and former İstanbul University Rector Kemal Alemdaroğlu." (Ergenekon part two.)

"Doğu Perinçek the leader of the Workers Party, an organization that claims to be on the left of Turkish politics, has been heavily implicated as a leading figure within Ergenekon." (Ergenekon part two: The left and Internet.)

"Perinçek is accused of having a close relationship with ... the far left Revolutionary People's Liberation Party ... and Abdullah Öcalan, the leader of the Kurdish Workers Party. (PKK)" (Ergenekon part two.)

www.bomblondon.com/

Reportedly, thousands of unsolved political and religious murders have been committed by Ergenekon.

Ergenekon has now been exposed. (BBC NEWS Europe 'Deep state plot' grips Turkey)

This may be because some of the top Ergenekon generals appear to have become anti-American.

However, the idea that Ergenekon is isolationist, anti-EU, and anti-NATO may be disinformation?

So, what vehicle will the 'bad guys' now be using to control Turkey?

The 'bad guys' may dump the Ergenekon people who have been 'exposed', but continue to use the rest.

www.bomblondon.com/

Or the 'bad guys' may use the Islamic AKP party?

On 10 February 2010, Dikran Ego writes (Turkey) : "Many who are savvy in how power structures operate in Turkey fear that what is happening now is the AKP government, together with the followers of the Fethullah-sect, who have taken positions in all governmental and military institutions, has begun to break down a competing power structure in order to establish its own position and take full control of the state.

"The question is whether the AKP government will deal and eliminate the terrorist network 'Ergenekon' based on 'Kemalism' to establish its own 'Ergenekon' based on 'islamofascist' ideologies." (Government Sponsored Terror Squad Killing Assyrians, Other Minorities in Turkey )

Fethullah is seen by some as being the CIA. (Fethullah Gülen's Web Site.)



Fethullah Gulen (http://www.guleninstitute.org/images/stories/Static%20Content/gulum.jpg)

"Gülen's proclaimed ideal is to promote peaceful coexistence, and dialog of civilizations at the international scale, and to see a renaissance of the modern Muslim world with Turkey at the forefront in the local scale." (Fethullah Gülen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

From Wikipedia:

The ideas of Fethullah Gülen, and the schools opened by his followers in many countries have recently been the subject of articles by Forbes magazine and the French daily Le Monde.

In the Forbes article entitled "Gülen Inspires Muslims Worldwide", the chief characteristic of the Gülen movement is identified as not seeking to subvert modern secular states but rather encouraging practicing Muslims to use to the fullest the opportunities those countries offer.

In an article in The Economist, the Gülen movement is reported as a Turkish-based movement, vying to be recognized as the world's leading Muslim network, and Gülen himself as one of the world's most important Muslim figures.

Reuters also analyzed Gülen and Gülen movement in a recent article: Gülen wants to see a renaissance of the modern Muslim world with Turkey at the forefront.

Gülen was described as the modern face of the Sufi Ottoman tradition in an article in the center-left British monthly, Prospect.

Prospect reported that Gülen insists on friendship among people of all faiths and that "no one should be seen as an outsider."

"Millions of people inside and outside Turkey have been inspired by Gülen," the magazine said, citing "a combination of charisma, good organization and an attractive message" as reasons for his overwhelming support worldwide.

Newsweek, which allegedly promotes the views of the CIA, published an article entitled "Behind Turkey's Witch Hunt" by Soner Cagaptay.

The Newsweek article appears to attack Fetulah Gulen and his movement.

Bruce Prescott PhD, defends Gulen (Newsweek Defames Gulen):

"Comprehending the internal political machinations of factions and parties within foreign countries is always challening for an outsider, but I am reasonably certain that the following observations hold true:

1. The form of secularism that has prevailed in Turkey until recently has been hostile to religion and not neutral. Secularist cabals within the military have repeatedly overthrown and executed democratically elected leaders for being too religious.

2. All the evidence that I have seen - in his writings, in his disciples, and in the institutions that he has created - indicates that Fetulah Gulen is promoting a moderate and enlightened form of Sufi Islam that encourages interfaith dialogue and respects religious pluralism. There is no doubt that he is one of the most popular religious leaders in Turkey.

3. The real witch hunt began in 2000 when secularist state officials accused Gulen of plotting to overthrow the secular government and create a theocratic state. In 2008, after eight long years of litigation, Turkey's Supreme Court of Appeals finally confirmed Gulen's acquittal by a lower court in Ankara.

4. Mr. Cagaptay's (Newsweek) essay is as careful to perpetuate suspicions about Gulen's political influence as it is careless about taking note of any suspicious relationship between Turkan Saylan and the women working for the Society for Contemporary Life (CYDD) and the secularists."

Mehmet Kalyoncu also defends Gulen (Fethullah Gülen is indeed behind Turkey's democratization process):

"With Gulen's help, the Turkish society, which had so far been intimidated and humiliated by the antidemocratic, dictatorial and secularist establishment, has recognized its potential.

"Gülen convinced the Turkish people that it was their judiciary, their army, their academia, their industry and their own art and sciences; and as such, they had the legitimate right to claim their place in all these areas of life while preserving their piously Muslim identity.

"This success of Gülen seems to have scared the establishment to death as it now terribly risks losing its absolute grip on every aspect of life in Turkey."

TURKEY TO BE SPLIT UP?



Turkish model Aysun Kayacı. Author Haluk Özözlü (
http://www.sihirlitur.com/)



There is a battle going on for control of Turkey.



There may be a plot to balkanise Turkey, and George Soros may be involved?



Prof. Dr. Umit Ozdag (Nationalist Prof. Ozdag: The US is Behind the Ergenekon Operation) has stated that "The US aims to establish a federal Turkey instead of unitary Turkish state".



For many years, the generals in Turkey seemed to be friends with Israel and the Pentagon.



Reportedly, the Turkish generals of the 'fascist' group known as Ergenekon were happy to carry out acts of 'false flag' terrorism.



And reportedly the Turkish generals were happy to topple Turkish governments that Israel and the Pentagon did not like.



But then some of the Ergenekon generals apparently discovered that Israel and the Pentagon were secretly trying to keep Turkey weak, divided and easy to control.



In January 2009, a report in Turkish Weekly suggested that some Ergenekon generals had turned against Israel and the USA. (Ergenekon's Foreign Policy Guide)



According to a writer in Turkish Weekly:



"Most of the Ergenekon members are anti-Semitic.



"They claim that the MOSSAD has played a very dirty role in Turkish politics and aimed to divide the country into poles."



Is this true, or disinformation?







On 14 February 2010, Turkey's Hürriyet Daily News reported on the Open Society Institute, or OSI, founded by Jewish-American businessman George Soros. (Threats against Open Society Foundation disappear).



It seems that negative press reports on the Open Society Foundation have disappeared at the same time as the Ergenekon network has been exposed.



The Pentagon, Israel, NATO and Soros want to make sure that Turkey is under their control.



In 1997, banks and currencies got into difficulty in Asia. Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir thought he knew who was behind it all: George Soros, Jewish currency trader. (MAHATHIR VS. SOROS)



Soros reportedly played a part in undermining banks and currencies during the Asian financial crisis of 1997. (George Soros' role in the Asia Crisis of 1997)



Soros allegedly "spent the war in Hungary under false papers working for the Nazi government, identifying and expropriating the property of wealthy fellow Jews." (The Secret Financial Network Behind "Wizard" George Soros)

The Ergenekon probe is heating up, with the interrogation of a general and an admiral



Ergenekon is accused of working to overthrow the Justice and Development Party (AK Party) government.



The latest Ergenekon plot was exposed by a Turkish daily in 2009.



"According to the plot, religious communities would be presented to the public as 'terrorist organizations' through subversive plans.



"Members of the military were supposed to plant weapons and munitions at the homes of followers of religious communities.



"Police raids on these addresses would result in the arrest of those individuals.



"The public would then start regarding religious communities as having 'terrorist intentions,' according to the plot." (Ergenekon probe is heating up, with the interrogation of a general and an admiral)



It is difficult to tell how much of the information about Ergenekon is disinformation.



A Turkish TV station broadcast a video recording of a police operation at the house of naval lieutenants who are accused of plotting to assassinate two admirals.



Admiral Yiğit defended the naval officers accused of plotting to assassinate him, saying: 'My officers are accused of plotting to assassinate me. They would throw themselves in front of bullets if someone shot at me.' (Ergenekon probe is heating up, with the interrogation of a general and an admiral)




Les Costumes Populaires De La Turquie, taken by French photographer Pascal Sebah at the universal exposition in Vienna, 1873.



The pro-Israel Economist (Coups away) reports that 'the generals insist that Ergenekon is part of a smear campaign led by Fethullah Gulen, a moderate Islamic cleric who heads Turkey’s richest and most influential Islamic brotherhood.



'This movement, which abhors violence and embraces capitalism, is acknowledged to have kept Turkish Islam tame...



'One of the army's alleged coup plots involved the planting of weapons in the homes of Gulenists in an attempt to discredit them.'



The military, and presumably Ergenekon, are said to be split into two factions.



There are those who see the value of having links with neighbours Russia and Iran and those who oppose this.



The latter faction want to keep close to Israel, the USA and Europe.



Israel fears a nuclear armed Turkey. (Israel warns Greece: Turkey will soon become nuke power /Russia says ready to help Turkey build nuclear power plant)



On 22 January 2009, Prof. Dr. Umit Ozdag stated that the United States is the real power behind the Ergenekon Operation in Turkey. (Nationalist Prof. Ozdag: The US is Behind the Ergenekon Operation)



Mr. Ozdag said "The US aims to establish a federal Turkey instead of unitary Turkish state".



Prof. Ozdag claimed that the European Union (EU) too makes efforts to shift Turkey's unitary state into an ethnic based federal Turkey state.

KILLING KIDS ON A FIELD TRIP; ERGENEKON AND 9 11


Who would blow up a bunch of kids visiting a museum?

Who would deliberately down one of their own aircraft?

According to newly revealed documents, certain military leaders planned acts of terrorism which were to be blamed on al-Qaeda. (Newly exposed coup planned to turn the clock back to 1923 )

Ergenekon is the secret fascist organisation in Turkey which from time to time commits acts of terrorism and which from time to time carries out fascist coups.

Ergenekon is linked to the Turkish military.

Turkish and other media have reported that Mossad has supported Ergenekon. (Mossad implicated in a coup plot in Turkey.)

There have also been reports that the CIA has supported Ergenekon. (aangirfan: Gladio-style terror in Istanbul, New York, Jakarta ... )

Ergenekon has been linked to heroin smuggling from Afghanistan through Turkey. (Deep State Coup Averted in Turkey - by Christopher Deliso )

On 30 January 2010, we learn that elements of the Turkish military, linked to Ergenekon, devised Operation Cage as part of its plans to topple the Turkish government. (Cage probe deepens with Poyrazköy indictment)

Operation Cage reportedly included the idea of detonating explosives during school field trips to military museums.

The intention was to kill lots of kids.

The prosecutor's office began a probe into Operation Cage after it was exposed in Turkish newspapers in November 2009.

Turkish dailies have reported that the İstanbul Public Prosecutor's Office has summoned for interrogation admirals Kadir Sağdıç and Mehmet Ilgar and retired Admiral Ali Feyyaz Öğütçü, whose names are frequently mentioned in the Cage plan.

Öğütçü has been implicated in the placing of explosives at the bottom of a submarine exhibited at the Rahmi M. Koç Museum.

The explosives were found by police in July 2009.

A letter sent to the prosecutor's office claimed that the explosives placed in the submarine aimed at killing 200-300 young visitors to the museum.

General Firtina was attache in Washington in 1991. The Middle East Report concluded in 1998 that probably the greatest strategic move in the Clinton years was "The Ankara Pact"- an alliance between the Turkish military and the USA and Israel. (Turkey, Drugs, Faustian Alliances & Sibel Edmonds)

Operation Sledgehammer, which is linked to Ergenekon, (OPERATION SLEDGEHAMMER AIMED TO DOWN AN AIRCRAFT) helps us to understand 9 11 and the London tube bombings.

It is a suitcase of documents which reveals Operation Sledgehammer, the 2003 plan for acts of terrorism and a Turkish coup

In January 2010, Mehmet Baransu, a journalist at Taraf newspaper (Turkey) told The Times (UK) that "My source brought the originals of all this stuff in a suitcase one night last week.

"He had been in the First Army and was uncomfortable with developments."

The 'digital imprints' on the files lead back to military computers. Taraf has handed the documents to Istanbul prosecutors.

Reportedly, the CIA, Mossad and the Turkish military want to topple Turkey's Prime Minister Erdogan, because he is not sufficiently pro-Israel and pro-USA. Erdogan is a moderate, but he has criticised Israel.

Many top military people are named in the Sledgehammer documents.

The documents reveal that the Turkish military planned to down a Turkish aircraft.

General Ibrahim Firtina, who went on to command the Turkish air force, is linked to this plan for the Turkish aircraft to be downed and the attack blamed on Greece.

The idea was to create the nationalist unity needed for a coup.

The Sledgehammer documents reveal the military's plans to detonate bombs in mosques.

The idea of killing people in mosques was to get the survivors to riot and to create the idea that there were lots of mad Moslems around.

The main Sledgehammer document discusses how to take advantage of the chaos after co-ordinated attacks in large cities, especially Istanbul.

This was written several months before attacks against the British consulate, the HSBC bank and synagogues in Istanbul.

The Sledgehammer documents reveal that Stadiums were to be prepared for mass detentions.


A Turkish court, on 16 February 2007, sentenced seven 'suspected al-Qaida militants' to life in prison for the November 2003 bombings in Istanbul, which hit the British consulate, the HSBC bank and two synagogues.

The defendants included Syrian Loa'i Mohammad Haj Bakr al-Saqa, also known as Luai Sakra . ( Al-Qaida suspects on trial for Istanbul bombings give final ...)

The British Consul General Roger Short was killed by the bomb as he was entering the consulate building. Press reports confirmed that he had cancelled an appointment at the last minute and "if he had gone to his appointment, he would have been alive."

According to Michel Chossudovsky, at globalresearch.ca/articles/ANA311A.html, "The attacks created conditions for Turkey's participation in the war on terrorism.

"The attacks served to strengthen the Anglo-American military axis and the legitimacy of Bush's 'War on terrorism.'"

Ercan Gun, at zaman.com (TODAY'S ZAMAN ), 15 Agust 2005, reported on the Syrian 'Al Qaeda Militant' Luai Sakra (Saqa) who was arrested for organizing the double bomb attacks in Istanbul on 15-23 November 2003.

Sakra 'has confessed to Turkish police that he provided the attackers of 9 11 with passports'.

Sakra 'claims that he knew Muhammad Ata'.

Sakra 'claims he drinks alcohol and does not pray'.

Sarka reportedly said: “I was one of the people who knew the perpetrators of September 11, and knew the time and plan before the attacks. I also participated in the preparations for the attacks to WTI and Pentagon. I provided money and passports.”

Reportedly, some of the passports, which Sakra claimed to have provided himself, were found in the ruins of World Trade Centre I.

Ercan Gun wonders if Al-Qaeda is a Secret Service operation.

Sakra was interrogated for 4 days at the Istanbul Anti-Terror Department Headquarters. Reportedly this has provided some important information.

According to Ercan Gun, Turkish intelligence specialists now believe:

1. Al-Qaeda is the name of a secret service operation.

2. Al Qaeda is linked to a strategy of tension.

3. Sakra, the fifth most senior man in al-Qaeda, was offered employment by the CIA. The CIA gave him a large sum of money.


The CIA claimed it eventually lost contact with him.

Reportedly, in 2000, the CIA asked the Turkish security service MIT to capture Sakra. MIT caught Sakra in Turkey and interrogated him.

At a different period of time, Sakra was sought and caught by Syria's al-Mukhabarat. Syria too offered him employment. Sakra eventually became a triple agent for the secret services.

Terrorism: Top al Qaeda operative, Sakra, 'worked for the CIA'.

The 1980 Bologna Bombing was blamed on agents of the CIA and NATO, working for Operation Gladio.

Operation Gladio involved “the strategy of tension”. The strategy involved getting right-wing terrorists to carry out terrorist attacks in Europe and in Turkey. Operation Gladio was reportedly organised by Nato and the CIA.

http://www.stopthenato.org/m/zit/id_ses/2337520f9/id_p/10/opt/read_e/id_s/433.html

"The CONTRA-GUERRILLAS, which were the GLADIO organisation in Turkey, were set up from the 1950s onwards and played a significant part in fascist governments during the modern history of Turkey, irrespective of whether these had a veneer of parliamentary democracy or were an overt military junta."


http://www.spitfirelist.com/f059.html

"Utilizing the fascist and ultra-nationalist National Action Party and its youth wing, the Gray Wolves, the Turkish 'Stay Behind' also resulted in the type of right-wing terror program and destabilization effort that it did in Italy."

~~~~~~~~

When the Islamist prime minister Necemettin Erbakan took power in 1996, the Turkish military, quickly eased him out of power.

In elections for the Turkish parliament on November 3, 2002, a new party formed out of a banned Islamic movement - the Justice and Development Party (AKP) - won 35 percent of the popular vote and 363 of the 550 seats.This may have worried the Pentagon, Israel, the Turkish military and the Turkish drugs industry.

http://www.hr-action.org/archive1/990225tjp1.html

According to a report in The Jerusalem Post, intelligence cooperation between the Mossad and the Turkish security service, MIT, "was enshrined in a 12-clause agreement that was signed during a 1993 visit to Israel by then-Turkish foreign minister Hikmat Chetin".

Soon after, according to the London-based newsletter Foreign Report, a large Mossad operation was established in Turkey, with Mossad agents based in both Istanbul and Ankara.

Turkish Top Military Brass meets Wolfowitz one day before Istanbul Attacks

http://globalresearch.ca/articles/ANA311A.html

The two Istanbul attacks respectively on the HSBC in the financial district and on the British Consulate were, according to media reports "timed to coincide with President George Bush's state visit to London."

The attacks took place one day following the completion of the annual Turkish-US Joint Defense Group meeting (17-19 November 2003).

The British Consul General Roger Short, was killed by the bomb as he was entering the consulate building. Press reports confirmed that he had cancelled an appointment at the last minute and "if he had gone to his appointment, he would have been alive."

The attacks create conditions for Turkey's participation in the war on terrorism.

The attacks serve to strengthen the Anglo-American military axis and the legitimacy of Bush's "War on terrorism."

The Istanbul bombings also serve to uphold the shaky legitimacy of Prime Minister Tony Blair in the face of mounting political opposition to Britain's' participation in the US led war.

Michel Chossudovsky, 11/21/03

http://www.mediareviewnet.com/Zionist%20intelligence%20engineered%20Istanbul%20blasts.htm

Turkey is a major refining and transit point for the flow of heroin from Southwest Asia to Western Europe.

Kendal Nezan, writing for Le Monde Diplomatique, has reported that MIT and the Turkish National Police force were actively supporting the trade in illicit drugs not only for fun and profit, but out of desperation...

"According to the daily Hürriyet, Turkey's heroin trafficking brought in $25 billion in 1995 and $37.5 billion in 1996 . . . Only criminal networks working in close cooperation with the police and the army could possibly organize trafficking on such a scale. Drug barons have stated publicly, on Turkish television and in the West, that they have been working under the protection of the Turkish government and to its financial benefit. The traffickers themselves travel on diplomatic passports. The drugs are even transported by military helicopter from the Iranian border."

The Middle East Report concluded in 1998 that probably the greatest strategic move in the Clinton post-Cold War years is what could be called "The Ankara Pact"—an alliance between the US, Turkey, and Israel that essentially circumvents and bottles up the Arab countries.

Earlier in 1998, Israeli, Turkish and American military forces engaged in exercises in the Mediterranean, according to Reuters and Agencie France Press. "'[These exercises] signal to the radical states in the region that there is a strong alliance between Israel, Turkey and the United States which they must fear."

Reports also indicated that the CIA and Pentagon intelligence organizations had regularly chaired meetings of Turkish and Israeli officers in Tel Aviv for years.
