Erdogan Reign of Terror Following Failed Coup Plot
Stephen Lendman
He’s back in Ankara, military forces loyal to his regime crushing remnants of Friday’s rebellion. His first order of business is solidifying power, eliminating opposition and hardening dictatorial rule. It’s just beginning.
Security forces retook control of state-run broadcaster TRT after rebels seized it. Turkish Airlines resumed flights to and from Istanbul’s Ataturk airport after suspending them yesterday. Various international airlines halted their own as a precaution.
Harsh crackdowns against coup plotters and supporters began. According to Erdogan, over 2,800 military personnel were arrested, ranging from soldiers to high-ranking officers.
Rebellion failed to gain traction, more a tempest in a teapot than revolution. All government ministries and facilities remain in regime control.
Hillary Clinton's Secret Society
Terry Brown
America hosts numerous members-only and even secret political clubs, which are much spoken but little known about. Most people take any stories related to them for a sort of conspiracy theory. Directors and writers playing on our curiosity and inclination to peep through a keyhole create their bestsellers and blockbusters pretending to know all the gen on secret communities.
Let us follow their example and appeal to the same feelings. We are going to crack open a door to an affluent private women's club codenamed International Neighbors Club II, or INC II. Half a hundred of quite high-powered women enjoy its membership. These ladies are best of the best, closest of the closest associates. It is they who are called elite and high-class society.
Like any real organization the club cannot possibly exist in virtual world, its members have to hold meetings somewhere on a regular basis. The latest dated back to February 24, 2016, was the one to draw our attention to the club. The point is that the meeting ran at a pretty interesting and unexpected place, namely the FBI headquarters in Washington D.C. The spot chosen appears to be quite extraordinary especially to serve as a women' club venue. So, we got intrigued to find out what sort of a club it is, who the members are and why the FBI hosts their sessions.
Attempted Military Coup in Turkey
Stephen Lendman
Turkey is no stranger to military coups, three occurring in the post-Ottoman era, the last one in September 1980 before the July 15 attempted takeover.
It continued overnight. Events are fast moving. Reports indicate scores killed, many others injured, numerous arrests made by regime authorities. They remain in power - martial law and a curfew imposed.
According to Tass, spokesman for President Erdogan’s National Intelligence Organization Nuh Yilmaz reported “(t)he coup attempt in Turkey has been curbed. All the events will be over before morning.”
Clashes occurred in Istanbul and Ankara, Turkey’s capital. Tanks opened fire near parliament. F-16s reportedly attacked them. A rebel helicopter was shot down. Fighting continued early Saturday morning, explosions heard, according to AP News.
Hyping Terrorism, Stoking Fear Following Nice, France Incident
Stephen Lendman
Muslims are convenient scapegoats of choice in America, other Western societies and Israel. Islamophobia rages, boosted by Bastille Day violence in Nice.
Western media said lone jihadist lorry driver/gunman Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel singlehandedly mowed down or shot over 200 holiday celebrants in Nice overnight - killing scores, injuring many others, the claim defying credibility.
How could one person cause so many casualties before being stopped? Logic suggests more than one attacker involved, maybe covert CIA, Mossad and/or French security forces.
Rabble-rousing reports made what happened sound like a bad film plot, alleged terrorism the way Hollywood portrays it, sensationalism to build viewer interest - in real life to hype terrorist threats, stoke fear and manipulate people to go along with what they’d otherwise oppose.
Bouhlel is dead, lethally shot by police, unable to tell tales, conveniently ID’d by his identity card, cell phone and bank card left behind.
Why would anyone carry them to the scene of a planned crime, risking easy identification and arrest if caught alive? Police claimed firearms and explosives were found inside the lorry - no independent corroborating reports available.
Is Trumping Stumping for Hillary?
Donald Trump, the 69-year-old New York real estate mogul and unrepentant bigot, continues to dominate the Republican presidential primary polls. Trump’s sudden ascendance, accelerated by his willingness to insult virtually any ostensible ally within the conservative movement, has left GOP leaders dumbfounded. How did this caricature of a Republican politician, who has never held elected office, and whose personal ideology is remarkably fluid, usurp more experienced, more conservative, and better-funded candidates like Jeb Bush and Scott Walker? Within this vacuum of understanding, an almost-believable conspiracy theory has obtained currency: Donald Trump is in fact a false flag candidate whose actual mission is electing Hillary Clinton as President.
To understand the contours of this theory, it’s helpful to understand where it came from.
Israel Denies Water to Palestinian West Bank Areas
Stephen Lendman
Israeli viciousness knows no limits, cutting off water to tens of thousands of Palestinians the latest example.
Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah issued a statement, accusing Israel of “waging a water war against the Palestinians.”
Netanyahu-led extremists want them “prevent(ed) from leading a dignified life and uses its control over our water resources to this end.”
“While illegal Israeli settlements enjoy uninterrupted water service, Palestinians are forced to spend great sums of money to buy water that is theirs in the first place” - stolen from them, then sold back at unaffordable prices.
Main water supplier Mekorot suspended supplies to Jenin, Salfit, Nablus area villages and elsewhere.
Stanford University Study Reveals Democrat Primary Electoral Fraud
Stephen Lendman
Given America’s sordid electoral history, it shouldn’t surprise, the process rigged today with electronic ease, voter roll purging and other devious methods.
Democracy in America is pure fantasy, a mockery of governance of, for and by everyone equitably. Money-controlled US elections are farcical, illegitimate by any standard. Voters have no say whatever, duped to believe otherwise.
On June 7, Stanford’s study headlined: “Are we witnessing a dishonest election? A between state comparison based on the used voting procedures of the 2016 Democratic (sic) Primary for the Presidency of the United States of America.”
The study was released when Clinton became presumptive Democrat party nominee, saying she “enjoy(ed) an apparent advantage over Sanders,” asking if the process was legitimate.
States most at risk of electoral fraud “overwhelmingly favor(ed)” her. The study showed it’s “possible to detect irregularities in the 2016 Democratic (sic) Primaries by comparing the states that have hard paper evidence of all the placed votes to” others that don’t.
Trump’s War on Islam
Stephen Lendman
America needs enemies to justify pursuing its imperial agenda. Since none exist, they’re invented.
Communism was public enemy number one from the 1917 Russian revolution to Soviet Russia’s 1991 dissolution - pausing to defeat Nazism, the Red army playing an unheralded indispensable role, US forces a junior partner.
Muslim Arabs today are America’s enemy of choice - dehumanized, wrongfully demonized as threats. For decades, Hollywood deplorably portrayed them stereotypically as culturally inferior, dirty, lecherous, untrustworthy, religiously fanatical and violent - post-9/11 as gun-toting terrorists.
Fear-mongering is rife. False flag incidents in Boston, San Bernardino, Orlando and 9/11, the mother of them all, manipulate public sentiment to support wars of aggression and crackdowns on precious liberties - convincing people they make us safer.
Does Russia Losing Patience in Syria Signal a Policy Shift?
Stephen Lendman
Putin deserves high praise for wanting conflicts in Syria and Ukraine resolved diplomatically, peace and stability restored, an agenda polar opposite Washington’s.
At the June 16 - 18 St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF), he highlighted the threat.
Hostile unilateralism doesn’t work, he explained. It’s dangerous, “inevitable” negative “consequences” following, something “nobody wishes.“Russia has encountered complete disregard for its stance, including with missile defense and NATO expansion.” Western-supported wars and color revolution produce unacceptable chaos, he stressed.
He vowed support to preserve Syrian sovereignty and territorial integrity various times before. Addressing Washington, he said “Russia is not interested in anyone else telling it what to do.”
July 15, Day of Rage: The Anonymous Who Cried Wolf?
By Robert Singer
According to Daisy Luther [1] and the hacktivist group Anonymous, tomorrow, Friday, July 15, 2016 will be a "Day of Rage" in the United States over the recent killings in Dallas, Texas. The shootings sparked a war on law enforcement officers and a nationwide spree of violence against cops.
Daisy Luther is the organic prepper who sells books, and "healthy great tasting food storage [Huh?] for you and your family." She lives in a small village in the mountains of Northern California, but she has no phone number or physical address anywhere in the United States. After a lot of work I did find an email address and sent the following email about her article Day of Rage Protests:
From: Robert Singer <rds2301@yahoo.com>
To: "daisy@theorganicprepper.ca"
Sent: Wednesday, July 13, 2016 2:37 PM
Subject: Your article on the DAY of Rage needs to be checked!
Did you see this post at Snopes?
I did some research including calling the White House and the Secret Service.
It looks like a hoax.
Daisy has not responded.
The article at Snopes by Kim LaCapria points out that "the hacktivist collective Anonymous has called for a nationwide 'Day of Rage' protests on 15 July 2016 is identical to a false rumor circulated in 2014 after the shooting of the teenager Mike Brown in Ferguson, Missouri."
The locations and scheduling information of 2014 are exactly the same time and locations as the 2016 warning. [Appendix A]
