Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has reportedly fled the country in a private jet following a military coup.

In the last few hours gunfire has been heard in the Turkish capital Ankara as military jets and helicopters were seen flying overhead.

In Istanbul, the Bosphorus Bridge and Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge have been closed, along with Attaturk airport where tanks and soldiers have been seen.

Part of my post got chopped off; here is complete one:

Believe me, Obama is going to be very upset by this. Obama and Erdogan are two peas in a pod, they think alike, and they like and admire each other. And both pretend to go after ISIS while not really doing it. Erdogan gets illegal oil from ISIS and really supports them.

Erdogan has gotten rid of or jailed military higher ups (generals, etc.) many of whom were Western trained (primarily in the U.S.) and are Western oriented. Erdogan has fired/replaced them with his own flunkies who are much more oriented to the Muzzie/sharia law religious philosophy.

In the U.S., Obama has done the same thing, replacing our military higher ups (or outright firing them) with his own flunkies, and those who will enforce his secularist/diversity oriented philosophy in the Armed Forces.

Obama has to go ASAP; he is our version of a dictator, accomplished through Executive Orders, a subservient SCOTUS, rules and regulations by Department edicts (such as the EPA), and Courts throughout the land that have been packed with liberal judges, along with the acquiescence of the corrupt MSM. Oh, and his own Dem party, equally corrupt as Obama and without any moral fiber or true love of country.

Trump MUST win in November. Glad the Never Trumpers got nowhere at the Pub convention, as they too are working against our country’s interests in such dangerous times.

Liberal heads are exploding. The idea of forcing pro-ISIS governments out of power is unsettling to them. Their game is to float ISIS at a level where they can keep Russia and Syria pinned down, and maintain the steady drip drip of terrorist attacks in the west for reasons that (for reasons that are essentially evil) prop up their own agenda.

It is time for patriots in all NATO countries to restore unambiguous anti-terrorist governments in all our countries.

For Obama, I’d even be willing to chip in an exile with a golf course attached to it.

I’m sure either Putin or Netanyahu would welcome him with open arms.

Hopefully it means the return of Ataturk-ism to Turkey.


Turkey used to understand what Islam really was.

“Wish it was Obama. He could keep the jet.”

The jet would probably be one of the two in flying condition in Kenya.

A picture of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the father of modern Turkey.

Not Bela Lugosi.

A couple of questions on that:

How much effort is there in Germany for wanting to oust Merkel?
How can they defend a successful effort to boot her out?

It can be done, just that it will be an uphill climb just to remove her GDR imprint on the country. Never mind the in-built political correctness that has taken over.

“Erdogan offers to host Muslim Brotherhood leaders ousted from Qatar”

http://www.jpost.com/Middle-East/Erdogan-offers-to-host-Muslim-Brotherhood-leaders-ousted-from-Qatar-375464

“Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan used a hand signal to show his support for the Muslim Brotherhood on October 23.

(snip)

In that single move, Erdogan showed that he sees Turkey as reclaiming its place as the guardian of the region’s Muslims. His vision has earned him the admiration of Arab Islamists who desire the resurrection of the Caliphate.”

Look for more ISIS suicide bombings in Istanbul and Ankara.

Maybe Incirlik too.
