When I was looking for that thread, I re-read that post of yours. :-)
What caused my jaw to drop was TURKEY and the AKP party (from my last post):
“A principal aim of the Gulen schools, a federal official said, is to foster political support and goodwill toward Turkey, which is governed by the Justice and Development Party (AKP), a party created by Gulen from his 45-acre estate in Pennsylvania.
~~~~~~~~~~
“Court records show that Gulen has amassed assets in excess of $25 billion.”
“The kick-backs are allegedly used to establish more schools - - all of which are funded by U.S. taxpayers. “
~~~~~~~~~~
Erdogan is a follower of Fethullah Gulen. Since Erdogan took over as Prime Minister in 2002, Gulen/Erdogan/AKP....
~~~~~~~~~
Also shocking, was Gulen’s inroads into Texas.
(Texas alone has 36 of these Gulen charter schools.)

MM, An argument could be made that the US has funded Gulen and the radical Islamist govt of Turkey.
“An argument could be made that the US has funded Gulen and the radical Islamist govt of Turkey.”
Sort of like we funded the islamist governments of ‘palestine’, Egypt, Lebanon, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, kosovo....
Please feel free to post any I’ve left out.
Trying to figure out why Erdogan wants Gulen’s head on a platter if all of this is accurate. Is he or isn’t he a Gulen follower?
