A former U.S. commander of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), a NATO-led security mission in Afghanistan, was the organizer of the July 15 military coup attempt in Turkey, sources said.

General John F. Campbell was one of the top figures who organized and managed the soldiers behind the failed coup attempt in Turkey, sources close to ongoing legal process of pro-coup detainees said.

Campbell also managed more than $2 billion money transactions via UBA Bank in Nigeria by using CIA links to distribute among the pro-coup military personnel in Turkey.

The ongoing investigation unveiled that Campbell had paid at least two secret visits to Turkey since May, until the day of the coup attempt.

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.

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.

For his sake, I hope he is in Pa also. If he is still in Turkey he is in custody, whether he knows it or not.

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

Worst Coup Ever.

That's because it wasn't a coup. It was a false flag by Erdogan.

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.

You’ll need to hop on the Gallipoli Express HSR train that crosses the Clinton bridge to the future..

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 General had better take the “Midnight Express”.

He retired in May 2016. I’ve been following this story and have seen nothing to suggest that he’s in Turkey.
