“Massive Protests” of 7,000 people properly herded by the Turkish Army is a far cry from “under siege” as seems to be the meme in the drivel press.

From article:

The base has been in the media lately in relation to the Turkish coup that took place on July 15. Turkish prosecutors and police have conducted searches of the base and detained air base commander Gen. Bekir Ercan Van there along with a dozen officers of lower rank who were accused of being part of the coup.

This was something mentioned in the audio from the post below.

yet the media and President Barack Obama have been conspicuously silent.

They are still searching for an appropriate youtube to blame, and youtuber guy to jail.

This is the second “siege” taken amid rumors of a second coup attempt. Turkish troops entered and exited the base. Rumors are the hot news in the ME and acted on as reliable.

Those tactical nukes should have been moved awhile back. Losing control of them is not an option. Although it would not shock me to find out that Omuslim has donated them to the new caliphate.

I keep seeing post like this.

I also saw post that all was normal. Electricity and water had been restored and we were even resuming flights out.

Does anyone have a RELIABLE source of info. One thread I was following actually had the facebook page of the base which had a post on it requesting bogus reports stop.

I’m sure they are as safe as an American consulate.

I knew it I knew it............i heard rumblings early yesterday- not good people, not good.

Erdogan is exceeding his limits. Someone needs to step in and hopefully it won’t be John Kerry

Erdogan is now offically bat-sh*t crazed along with revoking 50,000 Turkish citizen passports.
Only the Daily Mail UK had the story

The Clintons and all other corrupted shakedown artists are trying to make a deal with Erdogan. Possibly this time however, the US is the party that will be shaken down.

Somehow we have to break the back of this totalitarian propaganda machine that ignores a story as important as this one.

Nice to see non mainstream getting on it though.

Some background from Dec 2015

‘Turkey is out of control’

https://www.rt.com/op-edge/326318-turkey-us-isis-iraq/

Turks don’t feel that they need to pay any attention to the US. There are no sanctions to be incurred by ignoring the US, says Larry Johnson, former CIA and State Department official. They are pursuing their own interests regardless of what Washington wants, he adds.

RT: The decision comes a few weeks after a Turkish fighter jet (an F-16 in that case) shot down a Russian bomber. Does this suggest the US is growing increasingly wary over what Turkey might do next?

Larry Johnson: I think it has more to do with the fact that the US government called for Turkey to back off and leave the Kurds alone. And this is another example of Turkish pique. They are upset with the US meddling in Turkish affairs is quite clear from the earlier reports. The biggest bad actor in this entire affair that’s enabling ISIS is, in fact, the government of Turkey. So, by forcing US fighter planes to withdraw - which are capable of providing some close air support to forces on the ground fighting against ISIS - Turkey once again is tacitly, at least, admitting that it is supporting ISIS and it is not willing to support itself fully to its destruction.

Just fight our way out and leave. Erdagon is a pro isis Wahhabi Sunni. He spent 6 months in prison for islamist extremism. He wants Turkey to be the Caliphate. Why is this not being covered? The secular coup was not supported by obama? Obama supported this Isis loving Sunni extremists!! This is happening and its getting no coverage!!

Erdogan needs some stability.

The jihadists...his supporters...have been suppressed for a CENTURY.

All that Erdogan has done....50,000 purged...isn’t enough to satisfy the blood lust of the fundamentalists.

Erdogan has to redirect/refocus the blood lust of his supporters to a foreign vilin...or he’s at risk of being deposed, likely killed, himself.

Now, put yourself in the position of the Turks guarding the outside parimeter of the base. You may have orders to fire on the crowd if it comes to that, those orders may be coming from the very top, but you know in your heart of hearts the leadership, certainly Erdogan, will deny those orders.

So, your choices are...

1.). Surrender and be court martialed.

2.). Resist, half heartedly, for appearance, be beheaded on the spot by protesters.

3.). Fire on the crowd, die or survive and your actions will be condemned and you’ll be tortured/executed.

Remember, the Iranian hostages were taken by “students”...the powers that be had plausible deniability.

The Turks guarding the base are in an impossible situation. Damned if they do and damned if they don’t.

“Turkish prosecutors and police have conducted searches of the base and detained air base commander Gen. Bekir Ercan Van there along with a dozen officers of lower rank”

That quote from the article is very disturbing. Why is the MSM silent? Barack has done NOTHING!
