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.

Yeah, but if true, exceedingly troublesome for Obama.
This source is Turkish, and is effectively controlled by Erdogan.
They would not run with this if Erdogan was not planning to make use of it.
After the Gulenists are purged, I was wondering what his next target would be. This might be used to frame another opposition political party, to justify a big policy shift (like invading Syria), or to begin systematically demonizing the US for the long term, to turn the public against America.

Please tell me this is untrue.
It’s a BS story. Nothing to it at all. It doesn’t even pass the smell test.
Source is Turkish, RT seems to be running the story too. Otherwise, no one else is.
Story may be a total farce and propaganda.
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.
BINGO!!! Erdogan WANTED to get rid of ALL his enemies....perfect way to do it...create a FAKE COUP!!
Seriously. There’s got to be a ribbon for basket weaving in there somewhere...
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?
The only background I have is he did NOT have anything to do with Turkey and it’s Reichstag Fire coup.
This loyal American General should sue in the International Court.
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.
That’s been obvious from within hours of the event.
This is untrue.
“Guy looks like a North Korean General with all of those medals and ribbons.”
You’re saying this of a man who served his country with outstanding commitment and dedication.

And you couldn’t bother yourself ten seconds to look up the man’s history like I just did before you libeled him in this forum.
Shameful.
