This strikes me as exceedingly improbable.

If he did ‘master-mind’ this coup....it’s pretty screwed up in terms of planning and executing. No coup will ever work, if the President in charge is still free and walking around after the coup is declared.

I’d be wondering the general got faked out by Erdogan during the hiring process, was actually working for Erdogan himself, rather than working to take down Erdogan.

Setting this guy up as trade bait for the guy in Pa that Erdogan wants.

I have been following this story hoping for a confirming source that is not Turkish.

The only problem with believing this particular source is that it is controlled by Erdogan.

Worst Coup Ever. Made the Bay Of Pigs look like a win. I doubt this story.

Propaganda from the AKP. The media is under state control at this point, and they’re everything to distract from the tens of thousands purged seemingly with prepared enemies lists.

The Bank of Obammy in Nigeria just cancelled your account , General. Sorry.

My Turkeysh!t meter is clanging off the wall. I can’t even start to buy this. It sounds/reads as quite contrived. Need one ‘H’ of a lot more to convince me.

The more I read of this Charlie foxtrot called a coup, the more two words keep popping into my mind: Reichstag fire.

It’s a BS story. Nothing to it at all. It doesn’t even pass the smell test.

Sounds like your typical Muslim fetish for anti-Western (and Israeli) conspiracy theories. To borrow the classic line from Wikipedia - This does not appear to be a reliable source.

This makes sense and I’d bet Campbell isn’t really “retired”.

Clinton / Obama and NATO have been trying since 2011 to demolish any Middle East country that stood up to the international bankers and tried to implement gold-backed dinars for all ME-oil purchases.

With Campbell’s connection to the 2$B African CIA slush fund, we can now see where some of that missing Hillary’s 6 Billion dollar State Department money evaporated to.

Does anyone know if Turkey was supporting any gold-backed currency? Or did Turkey simply anger the Soros/Clinton/Obama/NATO international mafia for some other reason, like deciding to let Assad live?

Horse hockey. The usurper is revving things up for a war so he can stay on as Terrorist in Chief. Get ready for martial law.

If Campbell headed up the coup it would have been a success. So you can rule out his participation.
