The vicious Islamic supremacist, Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan, has waged jihad on the supporters of Ataturk's secular advances and has sought to install a dictatorial Islamic government under the brutal and extreme sharia. The autocrat Erdogan is autocrat Obama's favorite, "most trusted" ally. What does that tell you about who and what we have in the White House?

Erdogan claims Jewish investors behind protests YNET News
At first he
blamed opposition, hooligans, foreign governments, now Turkey's PM
charges Western, Jewish financiers of scheming to topple economy through
prolonged demosProf. Dror Zeevi
After two weeks of protests, each side in the Turkish
tumult is starting to produce its own narrative, explain the origin of the protest and plan the next step.In the demonstrators' viewpoint, the protest's train has long
left its humble beginnings as an environmental struggle against the
redevelopment of Gezi Park in central Istanbul,
and is now heading toward far more general goals.The object of the protestors' ire is no longer Gezi Park,
the ruling AK party or even the government, but one man – Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

Described as an autocrat, demonstrators protest his attempts to
force values, norms and codes of conduct on a widely diverse public, and
especially against the move to make Erdogan president carrying sweeping
authorities.
Erdogan's conduct toward the demonstrators – his refusal to meet
with leaders and harsh measures aimed at suppressing the demonstrations
– is for them ample proof to their claims.
The protestors have little love for the Turkish media outlets,
as well, which act like cowed rabbits, provide little coverage of the
demonstrations and tend to support the government's stance.
Conversely, over the last few days and especially since
returning from a visit to north Africa, the Turkish PM has constructed
his own theory of the ongoing events. At first he comprised a long lists
of supposed suspects behind the protests – opposition supporters,
hooligans, foreign governments – but recently the government's narrative
is taking a more stable shape and accusations are mostly directed at
business men and large-scale investors Erdogan has been terming "the
interests lobby."

According to him, these want to hamper Turkey's economy for
short-term profits. Though the specific guilty partners were not
explicitly named, it appears Erdogan is hinting at investors such as
Jewish-American tycoon George Soros and other Jewish and Western
businessmen.
Also unexplained is why should these investors want to see
Turkey's dynamic economy fail, and in what way do they influence
protestors across the country.
But Erdogan is not interested in answering these questions. The enemy has been identified, and the fight is on.
In Israel, and in the West in general, Erdogan's story sounds
like a zany conspiracy theory, the sort of which abounds in the Middle
East. But Erdogan's version was carefully crafted.
Long before the present protest, a significant decrease in the
Turkish economy's growth has been marked. The country's bane is its
large foreign debt: Turkey owes tens of billions of dollars to debtors,
especially in Europe and the US, and the interest it is required to pay
is debilitating its economic base thus hampering its growth.
The large – some would say megalomaniac – investments in state projects are also emptying the state's coffers.
Erdogan and his team are naturally aware of the imminent
economic setbacks, and therefore the choice of financial speculators as
the evil behind the protests is not random.
When the unpleasant information about the economic status will
be revealed next year before the elections, the PM could shirk the
responsibility, having warned beforehand that foreign investors schemed
to foil the economy.
Choosing the investors is also meant to dull the economic edge of the protests.
Nonetheless,
Erdogan's strategy to blame the international financial establishment
echoes with the sounds of the old Turkey, xenophobic and suspicious of
the world.
Today, even in Turkey there are not many who would buy into that.

Erdogan probably got the chemical weapons from his pal Obama who forwarded them at the US taxpayers expense.

You know, in one sense he could be right – Israel leads by example.
Seeing what a wonderfull society is possible in a free land, people migh suspect that the islamic model just won’t work. However, I doubt if I would use the word ‘blame’, as though it were something shamefull.

This sounds vaguely familiar OH Yes Adolph Hitler tried this a few years ago. Next step is to round up all Jews in the coultry and set up concentration camps and gas chambers to gain peace in Turkey. People of the west WAKE UP Erdogan is just another Nazi thug hoping for ultimate power, maybe he wants to rule the world???

Turkey has large proportion of good healthy democratic people,leading nation must send significant supports on them,otherwise Erdogan would consolidate undemocratic Muslim regime on entire establishment,which would trigger future world war 3 cobining with neibouring countries. Turkey is very important country Erdogan has lead economic success is one thing but which does not endorse authoritarian police state. What Erdogan is saying at public arena is not acceptable at any democratic criterion Erdogan has already jailed political enemy liberal judges were removed media is kind of state conrol jurnalists are jailed & smothered & Ataturk legacy of modern secular doctrine is gradually destroyed. Turkey is using middle east investments as weapon of muslimization. All those facts are never be tolerated or undermind just because of Erdogan won 3 consecutive elections

The next time someone yells, “You are RACIST!” for telling the truth about Islam, point out the protests in middle eastern countries. The protesters are the same color as the ones they protest against. They are protesting Sharia, radical Islam, the Muslim brotherhood, the restricting of their freedom, and the formation of their country into a totalitarian state. They protest an ideology, not a race.

It’s strange how islamofascist antisemitism always has the same vile stench as nazi antisemitism.

As everyone knows, the Obama Administration supports the Muslim Brotherhood because his advisors are infiltrated by Muslim Brotherhood operatives. The current government of Turkey is modeled from the Muslim Brotherhood movement. Same with Morsi in Egypt, the new leaders in Tunisia, as well as Hamas, and the rebels in Syria are also Muslim Brotherhood as well. The Obama administration supports creating a Caliphate at the expense of Christians, Jews, Shiites, and Moderate Sunnis.
