- ı was a museum guide once .
- our job also involved the "security" of the exhibits .
- ı made people laugh by warnings of "don't touch this" or "don't push that" , since ı look pathetic .
- jokes inevitably spread , where ı was some spy .
- a few kids discovered defying me would add to their reps .
- it became a fad . And it was discovered the reputations would be even higher defying a real spy .
- this ain't a movie script , ı was totally surprised to learn ı was commander , death squads . Did you know ı regularly set worldwide oil prices ? ı didn't either .
- continious repetation made it a fact , ı was a real spy . The number of people who spit after ı pass has recently decreased .
- at this juncture , the West needed to rearrange my country , by decreasing the importance of the Military in politics . A sheer coincidence that led people to make calls to the police and the prosecutors to arrest me the real spy , as real spies take revenge .
- the catch 22 thing . Spy has to be arrested , no evidence whatsoever , no arrests , an even greater spy .
- ı am always non-committed , ı speak in clear mumbo jumbo . So whatever happens it can be shown that ı have seen it comin' . The sun so far has never failed to rise from East , so there ı will be , the great guy proclaiming next morning you should look to the East , because you will see the sun . No time mentioned though , checking the calendar is lots of work ...
the things get complicated from that point on . The most reasonable assumption is ı am making up all the stuff myself . Another though less likely option is that a couple of guys got tired with the wastage of state resources monitoring me , so they finally put me in the Starfleet , which ı will command one day . Still not real ; obvious , isn't it ?
let me paraphrase a line from Tevfik Fikret , people create their own spies , then they fear them . It sounds far better in Turkish , really ...
yet ı have seeped into general conciousness . Have been obliquely mentioned 5 or 6 times in TV debates , one newsanchor person makes funny faces whenever unreasonable(?) hate of American policies is mentioned . Mostly because once the locals tipped a "Democrat" journalist who then accused me in the street of being being married to a woman you would see , err , uhm , ah , on the web . In her prime , ı hear , she was 10 000£ a night .
the financial crisis has coincided with the "expansion" of this country , curtailing Western appetite for operations and decreasing the importance of Turkey as role-model . Things might take a swing , hence the Democrats are at each others' throats , the jailed military hardliners are in cahoots with Democrats to behead Democrats . This country is headed for interesting times . And ı hear there are attempts to make peace with me , of which ı receive no info as you know ı amount to nothing , hence no need bothering , right ? This is strictly relevant to my city , where people are victims of their own imagination .
