I’m surprised the mainstream media hasn’t yet started deriding Gulen.

Maybe they haven’t gotten marching orders because the administration needs assurances that Erdogan won’t do the head chopping in public.

For Sultan Hussein, Turkiye is coming along nicely. He is highly satisfied with Erdogan.

Gulen’s another jihadi promoter with big dreams, given huge $$$ to Hitlery, has 150 charters schools in the US and a lot of muzzie followers here. Erdog hates Gulen because he’s a rival, not because he’s moderate, he is not moderate.

From someone who’s listening, I am not sure if this is the electricity cut off previously in the news, or a new one.

They cut electricity to our base in Turkey.
Spokesman is stuttering badly and has hell of time answering questions.
I just started watching it.

Did he apologize for trying to overthrow the Turkish government?

My point is that Gulen needs to be made the greater villain. Then the media will set about destroying Gulen if Obama’s decision is to extradite -for no other reason then to shield Obama.

However, that will all look awefully foolish if Erdogan sets about sumarily executing 7,000 cops, 7,000 military members, 700 judges, etc.

With assurance of Erdogan’s discretion, the extradition will proceed and the administration will have the media (here) lay siege to Gulen’s reputation.

That the media is quiet about Gulen, tells you the narrative hasn’t been laid out for them yet.

..could it be that the Muslim head of CIA on orders from the Muslim in the White House gave Erdogan plenty of advanced warning intelligence about the coup?

What is sickening to me is his insistence that Turkey is a good ally.

Of course 0bola likes Erdog - both bats*it crazy, both rabid Islamists.

I’m sure 0bola and his henchpeeps knew beforehand it would fail. Common sense would be waiting to see who would win. IMHO it was Erdog’s doing, some top commanders told others who took it seriously. That way Erdog flushed out all his opponents and could easily put it down. Now he’s going to enact (and has started) a massive blood bath. Any other government who doesn’t condemn this, issue sanctions, offer help to the oppenents - deserves to fall.

The thing is that Gulen has given so much $$$ to Hitlery and aother politicians and who knows what quid pro quos were invovled. So he undoubtedly has goods on Hitlery and others, so they don’t know what to do.

Screw em all. Gulen’s public face as a “moderate” is fake. IMHO he is banned from Egypt because of helping or siding with Muslim Brotherhood there.

Not likely since he’s all tied up with Soros & the Muslim Bro. Erdogan and Gulen are just rival bad guys.
