Erdogan is displaying his true nature here.

Quite why the West/EU wants to have this person as an "ally" is beyond me!

ISIS Top Commander Trained By USA

Gulmurod Khalimov has become the top ISIS battlefield commander in Iraq.

He may prove to be a thorn in the side of the West, for unfortunately he has been trained by the USA.

As per ZeroHedge:

"What makes the ascent of Khalimov particularly embarrassing for the US is that The former paramilitary unit commander of the Tajikistan armed forces received his battlefield training from American advisors and even came to the United States on several occasions to receive special counterterrorism training through the US State Department’s Diplomatic Security/Anti-Terrorism Assistance program. 

Then last year, Khalimov defected to ISIS where the Daesh forces in Iraq welcomed the new addition to their ranks with open arms especially since he was acquainted with US military and intelligence tactics."

Still, so long as the USA military industrial complex makes money out of this mess who cares?

Given how incompetently the coup was planned and executed (in a country with experience of coups) it is not impossible that this was a CIA cock up, or simply an Erdogan false flag.

Turkey To Expel Ambassadors

Turkey has stated that it will expel ambassadors who were involved in the coup.

The question is, does this also apply to the US in which resides Gulen whom Turkey wishes to extradite?

Erdogan Declares State of Emergency

Erdogan has declared a state of emergency for three months following Friday night's failed army "coup".
The emergency allows the president and cabinet to bypass parliament when drafting new laws and to restrict or suspend rights and freedoms.

Speaking at the presidential palace in Ankara, Recep Tayyip Erdogan vowed that "all the viruses within the armed forces will be cleansed".

Suffice to say, he will never hand those powers back voluntarily!

As I noted on the 16th:

"The question is, was this simply a lousy and pathetically planned genuine coup or was it in fact a false flag operation aided (or at the very least allowed to occur) by Erdogan in order to solidify his grip on power?"

It seems we now have a partial answer.

Erdogan's "Gift From God" - FALSE FLAG KLAXON!!!

Erdogan speaks:

“This uprising is a gift from God to us because this will be a reason to cleanse our army.”

False Flag Turkish Coup?

Erdogan is going to "make merry" in the aftermath of the botched coup in Turkey.

The question is, was this simply a lousy and pathetically planned genuine coup or was it in fact a false flag operation aided (or at the very least allowed to occur) by Erdogan in order to solidify his grip on power?

Charges For Blair Not Ruled Out

The Cycle of Death Continues

As per the BBC

"The Iraqi government has declared three days of national mourning after a huge bomb in Baghdad killed 165 people and injured 225 others.

A lorry packed with explosives was detonated in the Karrada district while families were shopping for the holiday marking the end of Ramadan. 

Rescuers said whole families had been wiped out and many victims were burned beyond recognition.
So-called Islamic State (IS) has said it carried out the suicide attack."

Who was it said "mission accomplished"?

Erdogan Has Small Hands

Dissent In The State Department

Fifty one mid- to high-level State Department officers involved with advising on Syria policy have signed a dissent channel cable calling for military strikes against President Bashar al-Assad's government, to stop its persistent violations of the ceasefire.

That might be all very well for Washington based policy wonks to "bravely" put their heads above the parapet on paper. However, the reality is that any strikes on Assad will bring America into direct conflict with Assad's sponsor Russia.

Additonally, as with Iraq, what exactly is the game plan if Assad is toppled?

Do these cosseted staffers think the democracy will magically bloom overnight in the arid sands of the desert?

Remove Assad and you have ISIS, Al Qaeda and other idiots running the show!

The 51 dissenters should be sacked. Not for dissenting, but for being idiots!

Turkey Blackmails Europe

The EU would have the world believe that it has "resolved" the refugee crisis.

As per the BBC:

The EU heads said "bold moves" were needed to tackle the crisis, and made the following proposals:

• All new irregular migrants crossing from Turkey to the Greek islands will be returned to Turkey, with the EU meeting the costs. Irregular migrants means all those outside normal transit procedures, ie without documentation. The term "illegal migration" usually refers to people smuggling
• In exchange for every returned Syrian, one Syrian from Turkey will be resettled in the EU
• Plans to ease access to the EU for Turkish citizens will be speeded up, with a view to allowing visa-free travel by June 2016
• EU payment of €3bn ($3.3bn; £2.2bn) promised in October will be speeded up, and a decision will be made on additional funding to help Turkey deal with the crisis. Turkey reportedly asked for EU aid to be increased to €6bn
• Preparations will be made for a decision on the opening of new chapters in talks on EU membership for Turkey

The reality is that Turkey, not content with shooting down Russian aircraft, banning freedom of speech and supporting ISIS has blackmailed the EU to pay it blood money and speed up its membership application for the EU; using refugees as the instrument of blackmail.

The EU has caved in to the nascent dictatorship and sponsor of terror that Erdogan has turned Turkey into.
