Nationalism, modesty and airplanes in the Infinite age

I think it's self-evident that class divides people more than race, and nationalism is merely a tool of the very powerful to stay that way.

Not always. Nationalism can also be (perceived as) a reaction against the powerful, especially when nations overlap with classes.

The PKK for example believes that Kurds are forced to be an underclass in countries having what is historically Kurdistan. Because there is overlap between class and a certain ethnic group, elements of that ethnic group begin to rebel - notwithstanding the fact PKK still is a cynical ploy to gain political power. They will gain a following, because achieving division among nationalities is believed to be the end to domination by a powerful class. The same rethoric is also used by Right-Wing populists in Europe.

So if Nationalism is to be understood as the idea of having a Nation-state for every ethnic group, achieving equality among ethnic groups can be a motivator, thus blurring the line between class and national division.
 
You'd be amazed at how swiftly the social primacy of class is able to re-asserts itself, though. A good example* here would be Ireland during the War of Independence, in which of the main reasons that the Sinn Féin government managed to hold power because the propertied classes found that by 1920 they were the only viable way of containing a dissent-prone working class and peasantry. The only instances in which class did not swing straight to the fore when national independence was secure were those countries in which the state apparatus itself constituted the ruling class, or at least were predominant within it, providing a basis for the ideological mystification. (This was helped, of course, by the willingness of "socialist" governments to make (often pre-emptive) material concessions to the working class on the one hand, and the violent repressions that they were able to marshal against sceptical minorities on the other.)

(*Or perhaps just an example which I happen to be sitting next to a pile of notes on, who knows? :mischief:)

well a leading example in jail for commanding the a part of the people going around in the mountains is a legally illegitimate son of the tribal chief of his clan . He went to mountains because if we are to believe him , his mother was always treated like trash . He is in jail and the "legitimate" son is a member of the parliament . Only because voting this way or the other certainly brings trouble . If you vote against the state , you don't get the services . If you vote against the seperatists , you will certainly need the services of graveyards section . Despite the rhetoric , everybody knows the tribal leaders will be exactly same if they were to get autonomy , independence or whatever comes to your mind . Tribal leaders matter because they also happen to be political leaders of the political network . Naturally , as they also have the weapons .
 
sorry for the bump as this was meant to be posted last week , but got too long to be ready for Wednesday and on Friday CFC was not available in my town . ı surf at webcafes and walked something like a mile to find out whether it was a filter thing or a temporary breakdown ; to no avail . Returning home it finally dawned on me that there was this international summit . You might well be aware of my reputation as an idiot but this never fails to not to happen . Seriously ridicolous of me to remind this that am either onto something that makes absolute fun of people who don't allow me to post to make the fiction that we , whomever we might be , are on the same page , are eye to eye and next time this happens it will be Jackal Carlos time , and the people abroad to be impressed by the "Turkish Unity" would be kinda angry , or far more realistically am an idiot who requires none of the attention . Though the practical joke could be funny as hell ...

seriously long , ı have put the passage into multiple spoilers , in different posts since ı have had trouble in posting long texts before . It is not meant for post count . Still , up to 50% can be useful to anyone studying the current affairs in Turkey .

as per the course in anything with the r16 tagline there is absolutely no obligation for anyone to believe an iota of it .

Spoiler :
the Turk's test with the nation-state

so why did it happen , apart from it was the fad at the time ? Now that ı am r16 , a longwinded nonsense has to follow to explain it . Starting from the days the nomadic bunch not invented but simply discovered that taxing was better than plundering . And horse archery traditions decided who was to do the taxing . Steppes kinda merged into settled lands in Iran , a place that equalled any of its comtemporaries across the whole lot of sciences and conquest of the area gave immediate access to leading edge mental capability to govern a settled empire . When Turkishness barged into Anatolia in 1071 , the Byzantian capacity to govern was obviously in decline ; with a dazzling speed the country was overrun and rather more pertinently was made "Turkish". Despite the attempts of the current seperatist leadership's to hijack this as well , it had much to do with the fact that Byzans lacked it ...

it still makes a topic of discussion for Arabic scholars ; as ı had my relevant museum guide tale here somewhere . Starting in lightning style , they quickly lost their capacity to absorb and 400 years seperate Yermuk and Malazgirt ; their empty border belt compared to a whole country then results in lots of questions . It is only to fair to note that it's 700 years or so between their sieges of Constantinople and ours simply because of the Crusades where the "entire" Europe attacked . Yeah , it must be nationalistic craptastic sekoya-tall tales to suggest it has something miniscule to do with the 20 years that transformed a raid into a wholesale acceptance . A performance repeated once again , though somewhat in a more sedate pace , when a bunch of troops could be put across the sea into Europe . Even in 1453 the seas were not ours , anybody could force the Straits to sail serenely in Marmara , the lake in the middle of the Ottoman Empire . It didn't stop the horse archery rolling the place up into Hungary or so , where people still had the horse archery stuff .

life back in the day was tough , though slightly easier if under Turkish rule . Once again we obviously didn't invent the whole bunch of human rights . Simply it was a case of conquests taking over the huge estates of previously ruling class which were more than enough to satisfy any urge to get rich or needs of the state and let people be , if they behaved themselves . Under their previous rulers in many cases . It was then doubly distressing when the decline began . Turkish/Ottoman advance -modeled on many previous experiences- was marked with the understanding that people were to be left alone if they recognized the authority ; ethnic cleansing of Turks , converts , undesirables and those who had accepted the authority were remarkable and were noted in the less than peace loving 17th Century and beyond . The standarts of the rollback was throwing babies up in the air to watch them fall onto fixed bayonets .

Spoiler :

as time went by the Ottoman Empire got ever smaller , every lost country was with its tales of butchery . Even the brilliantly concocted Wilson Principles which led people to think that America was finally challenging the European Colonialists and could be trusted to make an honourable peace where dignities as implied by the Nationalisms of the day would be respected was a dead end for Turkey as much as it was for other countries . You know when Americans allowed a certain brand of nationalism of this country to put its foot in its mouth in 2000 or so to whereabouts of 2008 , so that more qualified friends of America could roll it up in a more frightening style , it was fashionable in this country to be an anti-American by claiming America did not ratify Lausanne , hence other treaties ending the WW1 , because we refused to pay compensation for the missions that were the hotbeds of rebellion , ergo American bloodlust against the young Republic led to WW2 .

we were constantly losing , the solution had to be in the import of wholesale Western thinking . Will not claim Turkish Nationalism is a product of the West , since it was this country that made it tick , in some fashion . It doesn't escape the attention that the outright racist brand was led by a former officer who was a German sympathizer who felt the fury of the state only in 1944 when D-Day Bagration combo kicked the German bottoms hard , nor he was sent to US to be trained to fight the Commies and he put the training into good use by establishing commando camps -they were really called so when they were training hundreds if not thousands of street thugs before the 80 coup - but he still tried hard to hide he was from Cyprus , as political opponents could claim unpurity when needed .

there isn't a particularly striking viciousness in Turkish Nationalism and that is only because ı have been typing a long time , lots of various things by this part and kinda tired to think long or even short ... Let's say for the moment that it was a normal thing as far as those things go . Everybody living inside the country was a Turk if it suited the state and not if it did not . Some usurpers had come and turned people away grom their racial roots . Those who follow Turkey with some interest will be familiar with the idea that our chief trouble-makers at the moment were identified by the supposed noise they made when they walked in snow , and not by any connotation to a misspelling of the Turkish word for wolf , simply because that animal was identified for the proper Turks ... Digressing for a moment , the leader in the above paragraph once went nuts at a political rally in the 1990s when former militants attempted to bring forward a statue of a wolf . The situation at the time demanded a Turkish - Islamic synthesis , where the Islamic amount increased yearly as ordered by the West , and not some hidden paganism . Him shouting into the microphones to put away that idol ...

the Turkish political system was always notable for certain things , in the 1950s a judge famously accused Communist sympathizers by the verdict if Communism was ever needed in the country , the state would bring it , there was no need for people to work for such changes . Our post coup school curricula never ever mentioned it was Mustafa Kemal who first established a Communist Party in this country to keep tabs on the influence of the only ally this country could find it 1920ish . It was a shock of some size for me to find it out , yet naturally it was widely known everywhere .

it really seeps into bones when one loses a country , bit by bit , year by year , always in similar steps . Where a minority was chosen by outside powers and encouraged to rise , confident that outside pressure will be available . Nothing worked against the winning formula , butchery to dry out the support the local population would give to any rebels would bring Western intervention , mostly by economic ways and threats and times military action , Greek valour would have to try it again but for Navarin . Treating people nice didn't suffice either , it was a sign of weakness on part of the Porte which inevitebly led to troubles and butchery . It made its mark on the psyche ; now this author famous for literary work that has this early Turkish Nationalism ended up in a haystack with a local woman while on campaign chasing bandits , and she was moaning the Tsar's town . ı have this mentioned somewhere , she would like to be taken to Istanbul as a mistress , in debates it became that enemy would bed with you to get your land ...

the new state had passed through a crucible and there was some determination to avoid the thing . Through a similarity of people and ideas .



 
Spoiler :

which led to excesses . In a yet another museum tale , ı was this guide when this lady went around and found me , of all people , to complain about how the central theme of a speech Mustafa Kemal had given in my town was removed or weakened . In that speech of mid-1920s Kemal does encourage those loyal to the then new Republic to practically oppress those who are not , without any consideration of deterrence from the law ; the "youth" is to get away with roughing up people . Law of the jungle does make no State and the approach softened in due course .

both the lady and ı are lucky since much has flowed under the bridges since then . Apparently ... ı recognize her in many TV debates where she is a vocal opposition figure , her visit was at a time when military hardliners and their thugs thought America / the West / the Israeli dominated world media were behind them and it would be a piece of cake to topple the "Islamist" goverment . Yeah , just think what the newspapers would have said !

am not happy with the direction this country is heading ; wasn't happy in the 90s , too . ( In the 80s ı was a teenager and teens have the licence to dislike anything . ) Nation wide craze with those don't like has somewhat lessened , probably for the duration . Had ı been sane , ı would have been terrified that a dam burst under construction a day after ı downloaded stuff about the 617 Sqn of RAF ... This couple of years where democracy advanced has been tough on those who are not democratic enough , decided by more democratic people basically on whims , hence the trepidation of the first paragraph here ...

it would have been far harder on her . My reputation as a spy started as a workplace joke and police gave up investigating the leads on me , provided by eager citizens (*), as a coup-plotter / conspirator by the simple reality : So miserable a museum guide ı was that it would be total actual factual insanity to believe that ı could put a million people on the streets to demonstrate for the secular state . Yet our single chit-chat would have been enough evidence to put her behind bars , proving her undemocratic tendencies and practices , if anybody had ever wanted to do it . Mind you , ı had to rush upstairs to check the Atatürk's speech stall to see what was amiss ; it was a place where ı took the tour groups with the single sentence that said "On the left , you will see some personal belongings of Mustafa Kemal ." The perception is for every real traitor / conspirator / plotter there is at least one incarcerated with totally trumped up charges . 40% of all admirals in the Turkish Navy in jail and they deserve it , only according to those are loyal to this now new Turkey .

kemal's acts and speeches do still get a lot of attention . The one that's hung up in every classroom was in the news until recently , with some uncomfortable relevance . Had ı been 14 again ı could well be confused whether his description of the defeated Ottoman Empire and the people governing it , some of them undeniably collaborators , was matched by the present day country .

in any case it is getting harder to be critical of Ottomans in any field (**). Somehow real people somehow feel that this country will re-establish the Ottoman Empire as if the Middle Eastern despots are somehow bloody enough to make millions of Arabs to rush to our arms . Everything in the country is being adjusted for this glorious future that somehow lies ahead ; homeschooling with TV is to be given a boost . Initially for the ultra conservatives who always chafe about about compulsory (and co-ed ! ) education for girls , then our newly discovered minority in the East where there are already towns the the State can not enter enter on a regular basis hence the education in the official language of the country is a sacrifice everybody seems so ready to make , then our new populations to be where a Turkish-oriented education would be soooooo inappropriate ... Yeah ı am indeed an idiot that can't see the TV schooling with no attendance is only because the minimum wage for those under 16 is lower and nobody can compete with China without child labour .


(*) freshly emboldened and ready to join in the fun of crushing the non-democrats as practised by the media daily without any consideration of justification or not . Done only because they could and by the time ı was a city celebrity of sorts, the court jester , the village idiot that worked at the museum . They even started to believe in what they joked about - hence my exalted command coming soon , they made r16 ... ı hear am buying Youtube ; what the hell ı am going to do with Youtube , stuff it up me body ?

(**) writing this on Sunday after watching a weekly programme . One of the guys is the consultant to a TV series that has baffled many viewers . By the fact that the women in the harem of the Caliphate of Islam have breasts and their suits show some cleavage . They even have no headcover ... Anyhow the guys in the programme apparently have been in some altercations and they made a prolonged discussion of a particular translation of a historical reference , where the translators have economized by omitting a single "If" and the difference makes it appear that Mehmet the Conqueror was a pedophile . Their introduction into the subject was marked by claims that the spotlights above were faulty and pieces were falling on them . Serves the purpose all right , God is punishing those who talk unapprovingly of Ottomans , so no thug on the streets need apply to apply violence on the producers and participants of the TV programme . Translators are likely to be named next time ...



Spoiler :

every single thing that erodes the Turkish "nation-state" in the present context is by the guiding principle of our empire to be .

it then becomes an endless flow of newspaper articles and TV debates where learned people tell those who are just out of the primordial soup that the past was wrong , the nation state failed and ignoring the situation never helped . Yeah just how many cases are there ? Of the ID checks of vehicles where the grandpa of the family had lived in some isolated mountaintop village of two or three houses for most of his life and knew no Turkish to speak of ; the young sergeant slapped him for the rules passed to him demanded the official language and the family youth punched the sergeant and the squad went down on town ? Ignorance seems more in tune with the learned people ...

why not , the state had its despicable failures and how that explains that during a given period of time female suicides in one town increased ten-fold ? Sure , "combat stress" . Caused by the evil acts of the military for an endless cycle of violence and enough becomes enough for many . This was an early flag for the newly elites of my country . Cell phones did not enter to it in the early period . Increased abilities to communicate gives daughters and sisters more shots in "dishonouring" the family and fathers and brothers string them up or poison them with anti-rat stuff . And how do the men find out ? How do they know the every trick in the book ? Simple , they are already busy "dishonouring" somebody elses' daughters and sisters .

don't you ever believe in such stuff . It is surely nationalist crap poured on to justify further oppression . As proven by the flippant remarks . Sweden is not the first to come to mind as a predatory state ; one its prime ministers actually conducted part of his re-election campaign by a visit to a provincial town in Turkey , since there were so many of immigrants from the locality in his electoral zone . Anyhow , as in many cases where the mores of two differing cultures clash , a daughter had hurt the feelings of her family and the father killed her for honour . Big news in Sweden where it happened , the Crownprincess attented the funeral . In a country where people were aghast at the simple notion that a female adult's freedom to have a house of her own and a relationship of her own choice could be deemed unacceptable . And the ready explanation : father could not take the attitude of the patrons of the Turkish coffehouse he went to . Because you know : He was Kurdish and we oppress Kurds .

yeah , am widely known to be an idiot .

...In a country where people were aghast at the simple notion that a female adult's freedom to have a house of her own and a relationship of her own choice could be deemed unacceptable ... Such things were obviously a thing of the past . Blatant propaganda ? Nope, literary device to delve into Swedish savagery ; our dear seperatists learned that when you scratch a Swede you find a Viking underneath , ready to carve people as if roast chicken .

the date was 1986 , the then Swedish Prime Minister was assassinated and the Swedish police as you would expect in such international security conspiracies couldn't find a single clue . ı might be wrong but they claimed the weapon of murder was never seen before in the country , which later turned out to be a commercial item with maybe 10 000 licensed examples in the hands of the public . One dubbed Swedish movie ı once saw blamed Israeli attempts to frame Palestinians . Not so . For a long time NATO submarines , especially the West German ones had been operating in Swedish territorial waters to infilrate WP areas , it was clear that Swedish neutrality was not respected even in peacetime . Not that they have ever been angels , but the Soviets couldn't make Stockholm to take note by ordinary channels and drove a sub ashore for everyone to see , after it had completed its regular infiltration of Swedish waters .

americans, as you would expect them to do , immediately saw a potential to make more proper men out of those lefties living in the area and in early 1980s it was jungle out there . Visibly get in and accuse Russkies , everybody saw their ship on the news , right ? ı think the only NATO navies that were not involved were the Portugese , Greeks and us , since dirt poor and a long way away ; transits would have been noticed in any case . All of it with the usual media blitz , the Reds were not only under the bed but under the sea as well . The case of one sub right inside Stockholm , up periscobe to check the legs of a woman passing by on a bridge is oft qouted . A book online somewhere has something like 15 pages on how the Swedish defence system would be blocked to allow safe passage for friendlies and would be on proper war footing with torpedo to kill orders to get the WP when they came in . One day there was a mix up and the West learned its subs were not quite quiet enough . Nor strong enough not to get holed in the hull .

olof Palme had had enough of it and the West had had enough of him . Of the various options our dear seperatists were picked up . Just like the time when there was this attempt on the life of the Pope back in 1981 . The regular explanation you will see is , the Italian leave behind forces were at the end of their rope , their extortion had tired the industrialists and the like and they were being cleansed , so they needed a threat to justify their existance and they picked up their Turkish colleguages so that Bulgaria could be framed through the fact that there were many Turkish formerly commie hating nationalist smugglers having fun in Sofia and all . Strange things happen all the time .

we never get surprised that a Marxist organization can be called to do dirty work for the enemies of its presumed masters . It has become common knowledge here in Turkey that the seperatist organization was established and directed by a "former" state intelligence operative , under immediate military intelligence control , because all the TVs , starting from the official state one , say so . Military used to get the worst of it by its torture that drove hundreds of people to the mountains . Proving military heads were racist nationalists who could not accept differences , they jumped on minorities and even established a terrorist organization so that their word would hold sway to oppress people for the years to come and it was their fault that 40 - 50 thousand people died so they have no right in meddling in politics or the future of this country .

now Kurds are not some monsters , they will be immediately hospitable , are nice people unless you are some enemy . The way they become inhospitable if they sense weakness is not unique to them , it has been reported all over the world , is a basic human trait . Their good sides are also familiar all over the world . Those who live in rough spots can not afford to make enemies easily and they might one day need the kind of the help they are offering to total foreigners without any consideration . Similarly since the clan , the extented family is the only thing that can stand for you when the chips are really down means that there will be strong ties between people in an immediate circle and far less between those who are not .

only and simply because the people would not take orders from foreigners , speaking in local dialects or foreign languages and 125 is the number of clans ı tend to use when giving size to the fractured shape of our East , the systematic torture of 1980s where the tops was feeding solid human waste , this feces thing , to inmates was the only way to establish an organization that could transcend the clan borders and survive the reaction it would receive . My country got it wrong , mostly , thinking it was some attempt to break the monolithic Left that would take over the country , by the vote or force and deliver it to Moscow . Standart thing since 1700 or so . The power of the unruly Kurds not available to the evil wrongdoers ; feodal politics work so much on bribes and jealousy , they would eat each other alive if left to their own ways , out of Moscowite reach .

ballot , bullet , the Bolshoi Ballet , ryhmes well ...

for the Americans and the monolithic-when-it-comes-to-hating-us West , it was a smart move as they had sold the Iraqi Kurds in 1971 or so , and their asking price would be higher next time . We fought nearly 30 years to give Washington a cheaper alternative to the likes of Barzanis who now smugly expect to someday take over our country , because you know sitting on a oil well immediately makes you acceptable to the West . People have been conditioned by the early times where one clan would don the clothes , grab the AKs and raid other clan as if it was the organization punishing goverment compradores . And our idiots who govern still talk of the options treating the Kurds good will give to the bright future of this country . It is not as individuals but a group so that they will do stuff for Ankara and the like . Not the improvement of the entire place for everybody but a Potemkin facade so that millions will rush to our arms .

this country has been refused to fight in the Arab lands so that both they and us can be saved from our evil ways by the West since at least 1955 . A Kurd is a person just like me , God created us both human beings , we will answer to Him when the Day comes . He has every right to have any right ı have and vice versa . Making them monolithic for their fighting power and pull in the Middle East and disbanding this country as if it was found on the street or popped out of a Civ I / III hut is a move only the smart can contemplate . Something that makes great sense when talking to foreigners and hear their applause cherishing your greatness . No smart man afterall will ever wonder why the guys do not it themselves .


 
Spoiler :

The nationalists of this country , in the accepted sense of this forum , are mostly silent on the subject apart from keeping their power base suitably indoctrinated and in line . Many of them are marking the kebab shops they will take over when the ethnic cleansing starts . The learned people though use the proper arguments against them against kinda inproper targets . Some blonde professor was on TV before ı zapped away , droning on why an entire lot of people could not be ignored and they would make this country better . ı don't get what is it in this our future empire for her . You , in a general sense , are freaking white , the majority of the intelligentsia of my not so beloved country , and there is absolutely no place for you in the hiearchy of empires . If you think the oil empire will have a use for you once they get what the real whites in the US and Europe give them - because they are brown and lower than the real empires of glass towers in financial districts of the Anglosaxon world - you are seriously mistaken .

yeah sure , the real whites sold it that you were the best bet to rule Arab lands , instead of some El Kaide supporting oil sheik .

take this as a fact and not some veiled insult that there is no place even for blondes . ı am by now well known for my incoherent rambling and the prospects of the oil empire that will take over once we get all killed up by the remnants of the secular / once secular belt around the Arabian peninsula was a point that was shortly discussed in these forums . Rubbished in the proper way , the wall of incoherence still lurks there in the background . The elites of this country treat the Kurds as not some individuals wronged and deserve better treatment but as a leverage to gain influence in the Middle East , as already said . Fearing they give too much and that will wake up the Turk , whomever / whatever that beast might be , they are also givin' some proper attention to other minorities , especially those who didn't feel to be one before . ı understand there is a TV series on the State channel that deals with the suffering of the Bosnians in the 1990s . ı seriously doubt it will ever mention that at the time , the diplomatic corps was on the side of the Serbians for a NATO operation to save the Bosnians would be a precedent for a NATO operation bombing a NATO country to save the Kurds and ı advise no laughing here as Americans "accidentally" opened fire on a Turkish destroyer in a NATO exercise for there was much grumbling about the way they were supporting terrorists in action against Turkish troops ; nationalists were all satisfied by the journalist who took a Kalashnikov and fired a magazine in the general direction of Serbians , the Islamists were putting all the aid money they collected into usury and state intelligence despite all the purported heroics of volunteers arranged to be sent over was not much into anything . Afterall it was Ukranians who watched Serbs killing the Bosnian Prime Minister under UN protection after his unsatisfactory meeting with a retired Turkish general . The younger generations know him for his faux-pas , "gaffe" that Turkish intelligence used to burn mosques to implicate the Greek Cypriots in the communal fighting of 1960s .

bosnians average out whiter than us .

and ı hear there have been some really smashing blondes as well . In space you see nothing , everybody is behind an inch of protective clothing or darkened visors ...

those who get a laugh or two , or some mounting irritation from my stuff will find easy and no doubt 101% correct explanations for the actions of Germans who were mad at giving up their 1939 borders in 1989 and repaid it by pushing Slovenes/Croats , the British who openly sided with the Serbians until Americans showed up , the French whose moves changed year by year in appearence though not in the act , and by God , the mighty Americans who think so much of their potential that one of their Admirals went on the TV to declare they had gone to Somalia in order not to get into Bosnia . Finally it once again fell to Uncle Sam to save the day , as the Croatian blitz and the pre-arranged retreat of Serbians still failed to level the balance of forces . Bosnia was saved from the Bosnians in Dayton . And the Bosnian president preferred Saudi hospitals to ours . When it comes to Islamic fundamentalism , Serbians are first to declare that Bosnians need no foreign expertise yet despite all their killing of their pork eatin' , alcohol consumin' , fornicatin' neighbours they still failed to made a case of Taliban in the middle of Europe . The West's failure in Bosnia teaches us what ? They naturally forget it all , within a fortnight .

when France talked so much after Serebnitza fell to "save" Gorazde , so that it still would be an enclave under Serbian guns so that they could once again brag with their execution videos , there was this poll . ı never get the vote , not even allowed to vote . Though ı was asked -for the fun of what ı would say- and my proposal to thermo Mururoa and blame it on French sloppines was found so primitive .


Spoiler :

kemal's acts and speeches do still get a lot of attention . The one that's hung up in every classroom was in the news until recently , yeah everybody knows ı am a parrot , there was a move to remove them , as it was not like something from the Kuran . Either coup plotters or eager citizens immediately threw a couple into visible dustbins . It all looked regular until what the goverment now calls the Coup of February 7 . It is being crushed kinda mercilessly , 700 police officers are exiled to the East . And you can see dejection in the face of the itsy bitsies , the congragation members who were having field days against the military in the good old days . Journalists can now dare to ask them questions in TV debates and smile , even practically laugh . Have no sadness , it wasn't you doing the stuff . It was the West who held the military down , it is the West who will strike the goverment down when the time comes . The Gov can resist a week of financial breakdown . Probably or possibly , which one shows less chance of success ? Grammar was never a strongpoint for me , and it hurts me having failed even in that traditional reserve of nerdness ...

itsies can dwell long on what will happen to them and as typical of their Western handlers they too will forget it within the fortnight that they have long been favoured by the West over other traitors . Their vocality even convinced foreigners that they represented something genuine . Their methods of blaming everybody , everything and anything else that remains have done much to sabotage the chances of this country weathering the war to come . This war rhetoric is also being diverted . Journos , friendly to the West in the old structures , make it that it already happened and there is a truce . Journos in the new structures on the hand maintain it is coup-plotters work to claim there was a crisis . For the uninitiated , judges wanted to question the head of the state intelligence for secretly controlling the seperatists and shedding the blood of the sons of this country ; the PM -as all non-itsy bitsy journos say- saw it an attack on him . Seperatists of course got the best of it , now they have tons of newspaper articles that say it was a state provocation throwing Molotov cocktails at the bus where a 17 year old girl burned to die at the hospital and she never came home from school . There are new laws that limit the questioning power of the judiciary and Americans wonder if satisfied .

so this is what 3 to 7 minutes gets . Yeah , yeah it is the average Turkish lovemaking compared to solidly manly Westerner's hour ... And a year or two after declared ... Maybe even three ?

come ooonn , spoiler in a spoiler ? Even in this winsome nonsense ?

this huge success , so typical of American decisiveness in deciding what people think , leads to typical "I can do it, too." acts . Don't know how they deduce it but Turkish radios were full of stuff on how Adele got 6 Grammies in a night compared to Whitney Houston's lifetime six and we just had a week of how weighty she is , she has sex tapes , she has agreed to 5 years of severance from music , she will invest in her love life and so on . ı was like 15 or 16 when Houston wanted to dance with somebody and everybody knows the 80's are simply the best but this ?


isn't the first time ı run into culture bigwigs who don't know why they are laughing , one artist of recent nationwide fame found it hugely entertaining when ı thought he was some French tourist visiting the museum . My fault , ı should have remembered from experience with an actual French that they really pronounce the as ze ...

wouldn't be noticed at all if the same channels didn't also declare that Washington is to set up a manned Moon base and declare it , the celestial object , a US State . Yeah , they seem to be trying to accomodate the Starfleet , but isn't the question is how longer we will accomodate the United States ? Luckily being an idiot comes naturally to me , since ı am one . ı wouldn't expect anyone persevering this far but ı can top myself within seconds , am the fountain of idiocy ...

this winter has been ferociously cold , though ı must not complain too much . My city is temperate , lovingly mild . Our snow cover was not even 5 centimeters , compared to those pics where people tied their showlaces on top of lamp-posts . Though certain elite TV channels proved it with statistics that recent years had colder days . You know when there are godless parties at the helm , the weather extremes are always a warning from God , otherwise it naturally becomes "Are you talkin' to me?"

so it was good that we failed to invade Syria or fight with Iran , we would have been frozen ... Experienced the foretaste when the pipelines were not delivering gas . Not even electricity though ı am old stock , spending the night with candle-light was a daily thing when ı was a kid .

getting older and grumpier ... My lightsaber play has rusted since ı made star admiral and ı chafe at the inaction . Was happy commanding that X-Wing squadron in the black , we would zap some satellite when bored . The only thing ı do is watching TV and getting aped by the brilliance . Now that the goverment and the judiciary / police combo are each others' throat , the evil military and its civilian supporters are getting it easier , a guy was just released on grounds of bad health . There were some calls to arrest members of the parliament , though it was quickly buried since the West needs an army on the ground , not more people in jail . It ımmediately resonates , one goverment general was cleared of accusations that keep former collegues under investigation . As has been told so , a time will come to set everybody free . Especially the traitors as they will be necessary to pour more gasoline to the fire as the civil war starts . Sincerely doubt calls to re-investigate the murder of Dink will ever impress or scare ...

and naturally people think the Joe Public in the street actually cares for their convulated claims to high principles . It was power , merciless application of power that gave the mystical standing and yes , the power . It doesn't stop people believing they had propagandized their way to top . The country still hears this guy or that guy once did this and said that . Unfortunately there are casualties as well , this guy shooting around shouting he was a special forces soldier once , the police chief he tries to take hostage , the scuffle , they fall to ground and just like in the movies the pistol goes off , the police chief died . And you could see the shock on every face , all taking place at 15 00 Hours so that it would be ready for prime-TV news . We learned it from elite channels the significance of the time , apparently chaos fomenters order their underlings to act at that moment so that it will be the right thing to shock the audience when they have their dinner or at least come home from work , footage neither too fresh nor too old .

the thing was of course a police officer kicked the culprit on live camera . By now even the Kiddo will have learned that the time for kicking is when the cameras are off , but my country is in such a mess that everybody would think the agent provocateur was being protected by those who arrested him if handled legally ...

and people think the "war" in the convulated highjacked style is already over . The democratic president went to military exercises for the first time ever , all smiles and tweeting from the front and all . He has pics showing posing next to a "snow-trooper" . Taalk about resonation ... Yeah right , he should study hard , when he rolls alone to save Syria . Even the goverment generals were happy ! It doesn't fall to America , its friends , its allies and its paid friends to decide anything is over or not . Since the experience says it would take them only 15 days to restart it . When ı take the Starfleet to battle , many will be aware of it .

or maybe not , what are chances that ı am not really an idiot ? Not much , am first to say ... Even discounting all the jokes ı use to belittle myself so that ı won't get reported or stuff . Had this post explaining a map people used to lol Turks was mistaken , returning home within the hour ı ran into some dude and his fiancee and he shouted that ı can have them all , the Altai Mountains included, to her glowing adulation of her man to be . Ah , how nice , thank you ...
