Have Turkish Citizens Had Enough of Erdogan’s Taffy? (Viva Attaturk!)

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ June 5, 2013 ⋅ 5 comments

Recent days have seen expand­ing pop­u­lar protests in Turkey. Turned back by heavy-handed tac­tics by the country’s Fetul­lah Gulen-dominated police estab­lish­ment, the demon­stra­tions appear to embody a broader pop­u­lar dis­sat­is­fac­tion with Erdogan’s Islamist gov­ern­ment. Far from being “mod­er­ate,” Erdogan’s gov­ern­ment has sys­tem­at­i­cally sti­fled jour­nal­is­tic and polit­i­cal expres­sion. UPDATED ON 6/6/2013.


More Turkish Taffy: Germany, the U.S. and the Neo-Ottoman Empire (Doin’ the Earth Island Boogie, Part 2)

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ May 30, 2013 ⋅ 5 comments

For years, we’ve been talk­ing about the Earth Island and covert oper­a­tions by the GOP/Underground Reich ele­ment of Amer­i­can intel­li­gence. Cor­nell Uni­ver­sity pro­fes­sor Robert Kaplan notes that U.S. mil­i­tary inter­ven­tion in the Mus­lim world occurs in for­mer ter­ri­to­ries of the Ottoman Empire and results in Islamists com­ing to power for the ulti­mate ben­e­fit of–Germany!

In the wake of the Boston Marathon bomb­ings, we’ve high­lighted the unrav­el­ing of the “two lone nuts” the­ory of that tragic event.In this con­text, we note that younger brother Dzokhar Tsarnaev’s high school men­tor has a back­ground in the CIA and also teaches Islamic stud­ies at the Uni­ver­sity of Massachusetts-Dartmouth, which Dzokhar attended.


Divine Laissez Faire: Comparing the Theocratic Free Market Philosophies of the Muslim Brotherhood and The Family

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ March 27, 2013 ⋅ 6 comments

“Free Mar­ket” prin­ci­ples are man­i­fest­ing behind fun­da­men­tal­ist reli­gious cover. The Chris­t­ian fun­da­men­tal­ist group The Fam­ily wields pro­found influ­ence in Wash­ing­ton, behind an ide­ol­ogy that sees laissez-faire eco­nom­ics as “God’s will.” The Mus­lim Brotherhood’s Islamism also views free-market prin­ci­ples as “Divine” in ori­gin.

I Told You So: Update on the “Muslim Brotherhood Spring,” The “Hacktober Surprise” and the Destabilization of Lee Harvey Obama

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ October 3, 2012 ⋅ 4 comments

As fore­cast in the For The Record series deal­ing with Wik­iLeaks and mor­ph­ing into the “Mus­lim Broth­er­hood Spring,” the GOP is tar­ring Barack Obama with the “soft on ter­ror­ism” brush–casting him as the sec­ond com­ing of Jimmy Carter. Attack­ing the Obama admin­is­tra­tion for not hav­ing pre­vented the lethal attack on the Libyan embassy, the GOP is explic­itly com­par­ing Obama’s actions with Carter’s behav­ior dur­ing the Iran­ian hostage cri­sis. The avail­able evi­dence sug­gests that the “Mus­lim Broth­er­hood Spring” is a covert operation–the out­growth of a George Bush State Depart­ment reassess­ment and rap­proche­ment with the Mus­lim Broth­er­hood, as well as an approach made to the Egypt­ian April 6 move­ment dur­ing the clos­ing days of Dubya’s sec­ond term.


Egypt returns to the square. Square one.

Posted by Pterrafractyl ⋅ June 14, 2012 ⋅ 13 comments

Well, two days before Egypt’s his­toric pres­i­den­tial runoff between the Mus­lim Brotherhood’s Mohammed Morsi and Mubarak’s ex-Prime Min­is­ter Ahmed Shafiq it looks like Egypt’s rev­o­lu­tion is back to the square. No, not mass protests in Tahrir square, although that looks like a very real pos­si­bil­ity sooner or later. That’s because Egypt’s rev­o­lu­tion is back to square one. It’s been quite a week in Egypt.
