Some questions to ask, when considering if this is the sloppiest false flag of all time, and the most transparent since Hitler razed the Reichstag:
Why didn’t they take the President hostage, or kill him outright?
If they had control of the Air Force, why didn’t they intercept his plane while he was in the air? Everybody, even live TV viewers, knew exactly where he was on the flight radar.
Why didn’t they arrest senior officials, like in any other coup?
Why did they allow pro-government propaganda to continue broadcasting from the Turkish CNN office after they took control of it? Why didn’t they take control of the media and broadcast their message to the people, like in any real coup?
Why did the military fail to release any declaration of their intent to overthrow the government, like in any other attempted coup?
Why did it seem like gunfire from the military was actually aimed at nothing?
How could a police force capture and disarm an army that had access to tanks, helicopters, and jets – and seemed totally dominant, with shows of strength in the air?
And when Erdogan suddenly and unexpectedly returned from his exile in a Turkish Airways plane and suddenly and unexpectedly announced the coup was over, why did the military suddenly and unexpectedly lay down their weapons?
The answer to all of the above questions is: because the supposed coup was always acting under President Erdogan’s control. It was all a charade, with a storyline less believable than your average soap opera plot.
http://yournewswire.com/failed-turkey-c ... operation/There are a couple of inaccuracies, mind you. Erdogan did not return from exile, but from the place where he was on holiday, and the coupists did broadcast a statement on state TV in which they made their intent known to establish a new regime.
I have never paid much attention to conspiracy theories, dismissing such as purely imaginable. On this occasion I'm rather inclined to pay closer attention to many statements concerning the so called military coup. I shall keep an open mind and follow events as they appear. It would be interesting to see how the T/C press reacted or reacts to this botched up coup.
Over on the North Cyprus free press all seem to have gone quiet mentioning only that the planned " liberation" celebrations due to be held on July 20th have now been cancelled or changed. Erdogan has plans, I'm told, to tighten his grip on the T/Cs and bring them in line for ....sharia law !! A T/C friend of mine, who visits me once or twice a week for a chat , is convinced that the coup was staged by Erdogan for reasons stated by many in all parts of the world. This guy is a 65 year old that looks much younger than his age, a sensible guy and a real Cypriot, he wants nothing to do with Erdogan or indeed Turkey but expresses his fears of what might follow if the Turkish troops were to be withdrawn from the northern parts of Cyprus. He has grandchildren living in Cyprus and he absolutely, naturally, adores them and wants them to live in peace and harmony. I have known John, as he is commonly known, for a number of years now, a thoroughly nice guy , a good father and grandfather with a good command of the Greek language.
We both express our ultimate wish that one day our grandchildren will live side by side without any fear in their true homeland, the island of Cyprus.
