Yes, and Gulen looks like a CIA asset (see for example New Ties Emerge Between Clinton And Mysterious Islamic Cleric), so it's unlikely Germany or the Agency would acknowledge any involvement even if there was any. I do not trust either Turkey or Germany's word on this whole issue.

Germany is a colony of the US.

Half way into that coup I knew it was erdongan behind it. Notice all of a sudden the masses had Turkey flags handy? Where did they get all of them if it was a surprise coup?

I suspect Brennan was involved too. Have no proof or evidence. Just coincidence of facts.

Brennan and the Deep state is the real battle we are in. Internally in the US and externally too.

Remember Mohammed Ali’s funeral? There was a blurb in the news about how Erdogan, a fan of his, wanted to attend but the family rejected his outreach because of some involvement with Gulen.

And a side note- gang presence in the Poconos.

Flared up in the anti-cop activity last few years...

There was also a Pocono-related bunch of Albanians who plotted something against Ft Dix.

Clinton favorite activities- war on cops, and Albanian refugees.

Saw some reports that some of Gulen’s charter schools are on US military bases.

A better article... Erdogan was in Louisville before turning around?

And Valerie Jarrett was at the funeral. Wasn’t this the same month [June 2016] Valerie Jarrett had her tarmac meeting with Bill?

Interesting article

snip

...The political Islam movement that Erdogan belongs to made use of Ali’s fame 40 years ago. On Oct. 1, 1976, when Ali was at the zenith of his career, he became an instrument of Turkish politics. According to newspaper reports, Ali was invited to Istanbul by the deputy prime minister, National Salvation Party leader Necmettin Erbakan. Political posters announced Ali’s coming. People poured into Sultanahmet Square in Istanbul. Erbakan received Ali at the airport and prayed with him at Sultanahmet Mosque. The famous boxer’s first meeting with the people of Istanbul turned into a political rally.
It was later understood that Ali was invited to Turkey not by Erbakan’s party but by the Culture Ministry’s Deputy Undersecretary Kemal Baytas.
Baytas was introduced to Ali by Adil Ozkaptan, who was cooperating with Saudi weapons trader Adnan Khashoggi and working as a producer in Hollywood. The visit was not organized by the National Salvation Party, but by the Ministry of Tourism. Erbakan, who was a partner of the coalition government, seized the opportunity and turned it to a political affair. The trip lasted 24 hours.

Very recent report that at Flynn’s table in Moscow ...was Ray McGovern:

...”Shortly after the Dec. 10, 2015 broadcast showing Flynn at the head table alongside CIA whistleblower Ray McGovern and Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein, a senior U.S. intelligence official told ABC News it was a stunning image of the former military intelligence chief, “that close to a despot, an enemy to the U.S., at an event for the Russian government’s propaganda arm.”

On Nov. 24, 2015, Leading Authorities asked RT to provide Flynn with a list of who would be at his table with his son and “executive officer” at his private consulting firm, Flynn Intel Group, Michael G. Flynn. But RT replied only that invitees included “Russian politics leaders” and that the guest list was still being assembled....”

This whole thing smells like the Niger-Plame-France affair.

Baytas was introduced to Ali by Adil Ozkaptan, who was cooperating with Saudi weapons trader Adnan Khashoggi and working as a producer in Hollywood.

Probably unrelated but interesting aside: that reminds me, Khashoggi later ended up helping Ed and Fred Doumani and Roy Radin back Robert Evans' production of The Cotton Club. All of the above figures had mob ties, which led to Evans putting a murder contract on Radin in 1983 after he angered their cocaine-dealing partners in Florida--associates of the Medellin Cartel. I wonder how Ozkaptan connects with this crowd. The Turkish heroin "French Connection" had been recently under attack by the DEA in the years before 1976, so the drug dealers were starting to switch over to coke around that time, and Hollywood was one of their big markets. Radin and Evans' network was also running illegal weapons--they were in contact with Mitch WerBell who had a long history running drugs and guns for the Agency's covert operations--so Khasoggi would fit in there. Probably the relevant point for the current topic is the CIA angle to this.
