According to Middle East expert Barry Rubin, the “AKP has repressed opposition in Turkey, arrested hundreds of critics, bought up 40 percent of the media, and installed its people in the bureaucracy.” Very recently, 326 military officers were convicted of conspiracy to overthrow Erdogan’s Islamist government. The arrests are not limited to the military, the AKP arrests and jails any and all.
Has the AK Party "bought up 40 percent of the media" or was it someone else? Is the AK Party getting help from here in America? We need to take a close look at these people:

“The Gulen school system in America – 120 establishments in 2012, according to The New York Times – has been questioned for its odd characteristics. These include recruiting American students of non-Turkish descent to learn Turkish – hardly a likely first choice for American learners of a second language – and participating in competitions for the mastery of Turkish culture.”
Some say that the Movement has been even more active than the AK Party infiltrating and converting the secular Republic of Turkey to an Islamic "republic."
.. and what about the Turks themselves -- 99+ percent Muslims:
These are from four years ago but I guess now they'd be shot dead..
Lest some think that all Turks are ready to give in to Islamism, Sharia law, and burkas.. well no they are not.
Tens of millions of Muslims in Turkey are "Islamophobes" like us?
The image on the banner is of Ataturk the founder of modern secular democratic constitutional Republic of Turkey. The photos are from demonstrations protesting the ruling AK Party's Islamist (political Islam & Sharia law) leanings and reminding the AKP that they promised the voters that they would respect Turkey's heritage of secularism.
It seems clear to me that something similar -- not related to Islamism -- has been going on here in the U.S. for a long time.. I am wont to post this about us from Abe:
You initiated a policy to tolerate the Marxist-Alinsky radicals and let them rant; not only has it not ceased but was constantly augmented by decades of infiltration and indoctrination. You now have two Americas. In my opinion, it will not cease until a crisis shall have been reached and passed. "A house divided against itself cannot stand." I believe this government cannot endure, permanently, half statist and half free; I do not expect the house to fall; but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing, or all the other.
Obama is a biological-ideological issue of the 1960s Marxist-Alinsky campus radical, psycho spoiled brats. He is our Erdoğan and these brats have virtually taken over. Soon IMO our military will have to choose sides.
