The U.S. Embassy in Ankara said on July 26 the State Department has authorized the voluntary departure of employees' family members in Turkey after a failed military coup.

Turkey's declaration of a state of emergency also prompted the State Department to change the status, the Embassy said in an e-mailed security message to Americans resident in Turkey.

"During this period, U.S. citizens in Turkey may see an increase in police or military activities and restrictions on movement," it said.

Quote:As the particulars of the July 15 attempted coup come to light, the global structure behind this attempted coup against Turkey, as well as the economy that supports it, is becoming clear. I think it is crucial to find these two elements, as such a finding will determine not only the path that Turkey will pursue from now on, but also the course on which the world will progress and what kind of a world we will live in. As the attempted coup has shown to the whole world, the Gülenist Terrorist Organization (FETÖ), which functions as the proxy for the attempted coup, is indeed a global terrorist structure coming from Turkey. Now we can give clearer and more detailed answers to the question of what economy nourishes and protects FETÖ. In fact, what happened on July 15 was not only a conventional attempted coup, but also a direct attack against Turkey and a concomitant neoconist "Balkanization" process aimed at the country.

Now, we have data confirming this finding. We have data and evidence; for instance, it was clear that American neocons swarmed into Istanbul, with a team led by Graham E. Fuller, former vice president of the U.S. National Intelligence Council (NIC), having meetings in the city before the attempted coup. Turkey knows the ingenious acts by American neocons in the attempted coup, their names and what they did in each hour. This outdated neocon mentality is an enemy not only of Turkey, but also of the U.S. and the free world. And it is a structure of the previous century that survives only through wars and coups in developing countries. The one who tells this best is Fuller and everything that this reactionary neocon writes is a confession. What this "ingenious" neocon wrote before and after the attempted coup is as clear as day.

So, it has become clear that FETÖ is not an organization from Turkey. Now, we are seeing those who are not affiliated with FETÖ but do follow in the footsteps of neocons. Also, we know the "civilian"supporters of the attempted coup apart from FETÖ and terrorists in military uniforms. If the attempted coup had succeeded, who and what segments would have been its civilian executors? It is obvious that Gülenist cadres alone would not and could not have been the undertakers of this execution. We will also clarify who would have striven to "rule" a Turkey without President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and his vision, in other words, who would have striven to make Turkey a crutch of global neocon politics. But, let us first elaborate on the current economic politics of this whole story.

Today, there is a political formation that wants to make the world, starting from the U.S., return to the darkest days of the 20th century, and make the conventional sectors of the 20th century dominant again. It wants the U.S. to adopt policies, which are worse than former President George W. Bush's militarism and war-based policies, and the developed countries, including the U.S., to re-form this political hierarchy. It wanted the European Union to abandon its union structure and become a hell of reactionary and aggressive nation states, the U.K. to secede from the EU and support this war and coup economy with the U.S. It has achieved these objectives by and large. It created a new civil war cycle by forming paramilitary terrorist organizations like Daesh in the Middle East. It escalated ethnic terror in Turkey through the terrorist PKK and tried to create the economic, political and sociological basis of the attempted coup and civil war by adding the Daesh terror to this. It carried out an operation using the political parties within Parliament.

In fact, ErdoÄŸan and the nation's resistance to the attempted coup started much earlier than on the night of July 15, which was just a bloody finale. You can see this clearly if you think about what has happened in Turkey since 2013. All the changes ErdoÄŸan wanted were approved through great public support. All ErdoÄŸan did and wanted to do in this entire process was to struggle for Turkey's democratization. Beyond any doubt, Turkey starting to resolve problems with countries in the region, including Russia and Israel, and take a new initiative for peace in the Middle East, triggered the attempted coup and brought forward its date.

The strategy of this global war structure is to make Turkey a direct part of the Middle East's civil wars and turn Eastern Europe, Turkey and the Middle East into territories that can be controlled through wars, and prevent developing countries in the Pacific region from reaching the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region through Turkey as part of Asia's development.

Let us note that a Turkey that is brought to its knees is the sole thing that can prevent Saudi Arabia and Iran's "independent' integration into the global economy outside of the neocon initiative. However, a strong Turkey will ensure Saudi Arabia and Iran's convergence with the development of the Pacific region and prevent the export of global crisis to developing countries. This global conflict, including reactionary structures in the EU, constitutes the economic aspect of what has happened. It is disgraceful that the EU criticizes Turkey through indefinite assumptions that capital punishment will be restored, without properly condemning this bloody attempted coup. The attitude of the media in some EU countries is another issue.

For instance, a media outlet in Germany is making black propaganda, saying that thousands of civil servants are being dismissed in Turkey. Let us remind everyone that Germany liquidated 90,000 soldiers from the army of East Germany, which had more than 100,000 soldiers when it united with the East in 1990. Most of the ambassadors and senior civil servants from East Germany were dismissed and forced to work menial jobs. While doing this, Germany said, "Excuse us for the sake of the country's security." However, the East German military officers did not bomb Berlin like terrorists. Despite this, many countries, including Turkey, supported Germany.

Now, we are asking the whole world why Turkey is being targeted by such an attack, who is mastering it and whether it is the continuation of the attempted coup. Let us note that the economic attack of this coup-making structure against Turkey will fizzle out, too, as we are taking all measures to frustrate it. There is no problem with Turkey's budget realizations, public debt level and the private sector's debt risks. In this process, Turkey will not compromise on fiscal discipline and will urgently carry out reforms and take all steps to ease direct investment inflows and improve the global investment environment.

Turkey will be a more competitive and outward-oriented country, which will attract more investments. We will more rapidly carry out reforms to this end.

In that context I found Hizmet to be remarkably moderate, tolerant, non-violent, open to dialog, a strong proponent of education as the means to empower Muslims in a globalizing future, and a social rather than political movement. But in the years of Bush's Global War on Terrorism many neoconservatives in Washington were agitating to deport Gülenamong many hundreds of other Muslim clericsas a security risk to the US. I found the charge baseless. Indeed, I still believe that HIzmet as a movement represents one of the most encouraging faces of contemporary Islam in the world. I wanted the FBI to at least be aware of my considered personal opinion as they considered his case. Since then enemies of Gülen and many conspiratorial-minded Turks decided to connect the dots: the fact that I was a CIA official (I had retired from CIA 18 years before), and that I had spoken out in defense of Gülen, constituted clear "proof" that that Gülen is a CIA agent.)

LINGERING QUESTIONS

Drew Phipps Wrote:Is this a different Graham Fuller than the writer? Here's a blog from him about Turkey and the "coup," and it doesn't sound supportive of the "coup" at all.

Ah, I see. He doesn't believe that Gulen is behind the "coup" in this blog:

http://grahamefuller.com/islamists-at-war-in-turkey/

and therefore he must be discredited.

Here is a quote from that last blog written by Fuller:

Quote: (Full disclosure: It is on public record that I wrote a letter as a private citizen in connection with Gülen's US green card application in 2006 stating that I did not believe that Gülen constituted a security threat to the US.

So the attack on him by this particular writer (Mr. Ertem) must be viewed in that context.

Edit: After reading some of his blogs, I wouldn't characterize him as a "neo-con" (in the US sense of the word) but more of a "cynic."

Quote:First it should be noted that Russia moved swiftly to ban the Gülen schools when the CIA began the Chechyn terror in the 1990's. In the 1980's when the Iran-Contra scandal broke in Washington (a scheme authored by Fuller at CIA), he "retired" to work at the CIA and Pentagon-financed RAND think-tank. There, under RAND cover, Fuller was instrumental in developing the CIA strategy for building the Gülen Movement as a geopolitical force to penetrate former Soviet Central Asia. Among his RAND papers, Fuller wrote studies on Islamic fundamentalism in Turkey, in Sudan, in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Algeria. His books praise Gülen lavishly.
