    Coup d'Etat in Turkey Breaking?

    Well... no kidding.
    Little did I know that the Saudi FM wasn't just bullshitting
    here: http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthr...18#post6262218 (scroll down a little)



    Read between the lines of this controversial statement:
    The Foreign Minister of Saudi Arabia, Adel al-Jubeir, said that Turkey knows very well that it is incapable of betraying the Syrian opposition with such ease, questioning the sudden and unexpected shift of attitude adopted recently by the Turkish Prime Minister.

    “He [Turkish PM] is aware that Turkey is vulnerable to be divided by the Kurds; making such a fatal mistake will probably lead Turkey to collapse”.

    Al-Jubeir’s remarks came as he held, yesterday, bilateral meetings with US Secretary of State John Kerry and National Security Advisor Susan Rice.

    “Under the current circumstances, Turkey cannot afford being attacked by the Turkish opposition forces. Unlike the Syrian armed opposition which is capable of overthrowing Syria’s Assad and standing against the Turks”, he added.

    RT: Shooting heard in Ankara, military jets & helicopters flying over city - witnesses


    Part of the military is attempting a coup in Turkey, the country’s Prime Minister Binali Yıldırım said, following reports of military jets and helicopters flying low over Ankara and Istanbul.

    "Some people took illegal action outside of the chain of command," Yildirim told news network NTV. "The government elected by the people remains in charge. This government will only go when the people say so," he added.

    A military helicopter has reportedly opened fire in the district of Ankara where the Turkish National Intelligence Organization headquarters is situated.

    Round the world and home again
    That’s the sailor’s way
    Faster faster, faster faster
    There’s no earthly way of knowing
    Which direction we are going
    There’s no knowing where we’re rowing
    Or which way the river’s flowing
    Is it raining, is it snowing
    Is a hurricane a-blowing
    Not a speck of light is showing
    So the danger must be growing
    Are the fires of Hell a-glowing
    Is the grisly reaper mowing
    Yes, the danger must be growing
    For the rowers keep on rowing
    And they’re certainly not showing
    Any signs that they are slowing

    When a trumpet sounds in a city, do not the people tremble?
    When disaster comes to a city, has not the Lord caused it? Amos 3:6

    Probably is a good coup. Erodgan is an islamist and the Turkish military is secular. This will benefit both Russian and US interests, so expect it to stick.

    No wonder Kerry went to Russia ASAP we problem learned of this early.

    Ergodan just Skype'ed into CNN Turkey and said he is "heading back to the capitol", "the people should go out on the streets to respond", and "those who did this will pay"

    To be clear, he is asking people to attack the military. Not a smart thing to say.

    Erdogan was getting friendly with Putin.

    Because of the possibility of a Trump Presidency, the U.S. State Dept. has decided to act against Assad before the election.

    A coup was sponsored against Erdogan to prevent Turkey's relationship with Russia from being a hindrance in the effort against Syria.

    Kerry goes to Moscow to inform Putin that it's going to happen and to warn him against getting involved.

    The take away from it all, as mentioned, war with Syria is very imminent.

    This will piss of Obama and the administration. It will calm events in Syria and also piss off the Israelis

    Interesting you mention this. Reporters on Sky News were just talking about how the Turkish Military and the U.S. Military have "very close ties."

    The Saudi FM all but TOLD US (top post) there would be 'hell to pay'
    for sympathizing with Syrian government/Assad.
    This (if nothing else) is SUNNI backed retribution (w/ US/CIA wink & nod)
    This is NOT a 'victory' for secular Turks or Democracy or the down trodden Media & Masses..
    No way.
    This is punishment for FAILURE (in the Sunni/Saudi cause; and NWO agenda)
    Erdogan was expendable.
    There's a 'new narrative' being assembled/revealed
    which is why Kerry is in Moscow announcing 'joint' military plans against ISIS.

    Guaranteed: BOTH Kerry & Putin were 'aware' this was going to go down.
    Erdogan was doomed... extorting Germany/EU, offending Russia, killing Kurds...
    he's no longer 'useful' to the US... more of a constant embarrassment.
    US & Wahabbists would LIKE to take their 'failure' in Syria out on Russia
    but can't & have been outplayed by Putin at every turn.... so:
    they gut the 'weakest link' to soothe their seething rage & embarrassment.
