[Letterhead Redacted]<\/strong><\/p>\n

20 July 2010<\/p>\n

The Honorable Barack H. Obama\u00a0
\nPresident of the United States
\nThe White House\u00a0
\n1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW\u00a0
\nWashington, DC 20500\u00a0
\nUSA<\/p>\n

Dear Mr. President:<\/p>\n

Truth is still on the march in Turkey; the lies and treachery of the present government are in plain sight. But justice is dead. You westerners have killed it by your support of the AKP regime of\u00a0 Recep Tayyip Erdo\u011dan. Mr. President, you recently referred to so-called democracy in Turkey as a \u201cMuslim Democracy.\u201d Religion and democracy don\u2019t go together, Mr. President. And you, above all people, should know it. You spoke so glowingly about Mustafa Kemal Atat\u00fcrk in the Turkish Grand National Assembly in May 2009. When you speak of Atat\u00fcrk and democracy in the same breath, as you did, you must always emphasize three words\u2014SECULAR, SECULAR, SECULAR.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

This is my fourth letter to you since your inauguration, one every six months. I have yet to receive the courtesy of the slightest acknowledgement of their receipt by the White House. I know if the letters had contained threats to you, your secret service agents would have knocked my door down in the middle of the night. I also know that when I sent you campaign contributions in 2008 I received not only e-mail thank-yous, but an international telephone call from your headquarters to verify that I was a valid international contributor. Is this what defines your administration\u2019s standards of courtesy and openness, Mr. President, money? I hope not, but I think so. But perhaps you have read my letters but acknowledging them brings you embarassment because you have so thoroughly embraced the AKP regime. So be it, Mr. President. But what about common courtesy?<\/p>\n

So-called \u201cdemocracy\u201d remains in critical condition in Turkey. Forget Erdo\u011dan\u2019s pathetic antics about Gaza. Forget about his cozy relations with Iran, Sudan and other gangster \u201cIslamic\u201d regimes. They are of utmost embarrassment to the Turkish people but mean nothing compared to the civilian coup that he has engineered. Like Hitler in the thirties, all was done under the veil of \u201cdemocracy.\u201d And under that same veil, the jails are bursting with leftists opposed to the brutality of the Erdo\u011dan regime. Where Hitler used the SA brownshirts to do his dirty work, Erdo\u011dan hides behind the veils and headscarves of his AKP women. Turkey\u2019s highest court ruled that Erdo\u011dan and his party are the center of anti-secular activities against the Turkish nation. In America that would be called treason. Like Hitler, Erdo\u011dan has destroyed the legal system by packing the courts with his\u00a0own judges and prosecutors.<\/p>\n

You should be particularly worried to know that the Turkish army has been completely compromised by a hoax called Ergenekon. Not only does Erdo\u011dan now have the police force and the gendarmes, he has the army too. And you are now well aware of the trigger-happy, loud-mouthed incompetence of the Turkish prime minister in the foreign affairs arena. Turkey is on the march, BACKWARDS, to the gloriously incompetent days of the Ottomans. This is what your gloriously incompetent CIA along with numerous gloriously treasonous Turks have accomplished. Erdo\u011dan and his ilk champion this as some Islamic rennaissance. This is utter nonsense.<\/p>\n

If you read the books I sent to you with my first letter you know this. The only \u201cenlightenment period\u201d was due entirely to one man, Mustafa Kemal Atat\u00fcrk. Described and defamed as just \u201canother ruthless general\u201d in a recent article in the lamentable Economist<\/em>, Atat\u00fcrk used the energy generated by the Turkish War of Independence (1919-1923) to lift Turkey from the Middle Ages mentality of the Ottomans to modern times, and in many ways beyond. For example, he gave women the right to vote in 1930 and to stand for election in 1934, decades before many European countries (France, Italy, Greece, Switzerland). It is this grand achievement, by history\u2019s most remarkable soldier-statesmen-educator, that has been destroyed by Erdo\u011dan and his fellow Islamo-fascist thugs. And these same thugs, who publicly proclaim women\u2019s inferiority to men, bring their bizarrely dressed wives to receive warm welcomes in the White House.<\/p>\n

Oh the horror wrought by American support! A heart of darkness envelopes Turkey, Mr. President: extrajudicial wiretapping and surveilance, unconstitutional imprisonments, the trashing of human rights protections, wanton abuse of press freedom protections, corruption and theft by the ruling AKP of epic proportion, and the destruction of the Turkish army. No wonder the Economist<\/em> magazine feels free to debase Atat\u00fcrk. Good job, all you westerners. Bad job, Mr. President.<\/p>\n

But there is a force rising, Mr. President. And there are many, many Turks who refuse to take the garbage dealt to them by the AKP over the past seven years. And the force is energized by the words of Kemal Atat\u00fcrk. You may not know or remember them Mr. President, but you should mark them well. As I\u00a0told you in my earlier letters,\u00a0I\u00a0remind you again. The day of reckoning is coming. The day is near. Read his words, they describe Turkey today:<\/p>\n

You, the Turkish youth! Your primary duty is to forever protect and defend Turkish independence and the Turkish Republic. This is the mainstay of your existence and of your future.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em>This foundation is your most precious treasure in the future, as well, there may be malevolence, within and abroad, which will seek to deny your birthright. If one day you are compelled to defend your independence and the republic, you shall not reflect on the conditions and possibilities of the situation in which you find yourself, in order to accomplish your mission. These conditions and possibilities may appear unfavorable. The adversaries who scheme against your independence and your Republic may be the representatives of a victory without precedent in the world. By force or by ruse, all citadels and all arsenals of our dear fatherland may have been taken; all of its armies may have been dispersed and all corners of the country may have been physically occupied. More distressing and more grievous than all these, those who hold and exercise the power within the country may have fallen into gross error, blunder, and even treason. These holders of power may have even united their personal interests with political ambitions of the invaders. The nation itself may have fallen into privation, and may have become exhausted and desolate.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em>You, the future sons and daughters of Turkey! Even under such circumstances and conditions, your duty is to redeem Turkish independence and the Republic! The strength you shall need exists in the noble blood flowing through your veins.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Mustafa Kemal Atat\u00fcrk
\nFrom The Great Speech<\/em>
\n<\/strong>20 October 1927<\/p>\n

Mr. President, in the above speech, Mustafa Kemal Atat\u00fcrk gave his heirs, the Turkish people, the right, indeed the duty, to defend the principles of Atat\u00fcrkian democracy. Not Moderate Islamic democracy! Not Muslim democracy! Just democracy, Mr. President, the same kind of democracy as yours.<\/p>\n

Yes, there is a force rising, Mr. President. There is a new Kemal rising, Mr. President. You should know this, Mr. President. And you should know him. On election day he will throw the treasonous AKP into the Mediterranean as the older Kemal did to the western occupiers. You and America would be wise to abandon your support for the current Islamo-fascist government and, for once, leave Turkey alone. Or you better know how to swim in deep, turbulent waters.<\/p>\n

With my deep respect,<\/p>\n

Fakat s\u0131radan nezakete ne oldu?<\/p>\n

S\u00f6zde \u201cdemokrasi\u201d T\u00fcrkiye\u2019de kritik bir durumdad\u0131r. B\u0131rak\u0131n Erdo\u011fan\u2019\u0131n Gazze hakk\u0131ndaki hazin davran\u0131\u015flar\u0131n\u0131.

Bunlar T\u00fcrkler i\u00e7in son derece utan\u00e7 verici fakat yap\u0131lmakta olan sivil darbeyle mukayese edildi\u011finde bunlar\u0131n hi\u00e7 bir anlam\u0131 yok. Otuzlardaki Hitler gibi, yap\u0131lan her \u015fey \u201cdemokrasi\u201d k\u0131l\u0131f\u0131 alt\u0131ndad\u0131r. Ve ayn\u0131 k\u0131l\u0131f alt\u0131nda hapishaneler Erdo\u011fan\u2019\u0131n gaddar rejimine muhalefet eden solcularla dolup ta\u015fmaktad\u0131r. Hitler kirli i\u015flerini yapt\u0131rmak i\u00e7in kahverengi g\u00f6mlekli SA\u2019lar\u0131n\u0131 kullan\u0131rken, Erdo\u011fan da kendi AKP\u2019li kad\u0131nlar\u0131n\u0131n \u00f6rt\u00fc ve t\u00fcrbanlar\u0131n\u0131n arkas\u0131na saklanmaktad\u0131r.T\u00fcrkiye\u2019nin en y\u00fcksek [Anayasa] mahkemesi Erdo\u011fan ve partisinin T\u00fcrk milletine kar\u015f\u0131 laiklik kar\u015f\u0131t\u0131 eylemlerin oda\u011f\u0131 oldu\u011funa h\u00fckmetti. Buna Amerika\u2019da vatan hainli\u011fi denir. Hitler gibi, Erdo\u011fan da kendi hakim ve savc\u0131lar\u0131n\u0131 mahkemelere doldurarak hukuk sistemini \u00e7\u00f6kertti.<\/p>\n

\u00d6zellikle bilmeniz gerekir ki T\u00fcrk ordusu Ergenekon denilen bir komplo ile ciddi olarak zay\u0131flat\u0131lm\u0131\u015ft\u0131r. \u015eimdi Erdo\u011fan sadece polis g\u00fcc\u00fc ve jandarmaya de\u011fil, orduya da hakim olmu\u015ftur.

Bu tamamiyle sa\u00e7mal\u0131kt\u0131r.<\/p>\n

E\u011fer size ilk mektubumla birlikte g\u00f6nderdi\u011fim kitaplar\u0131 okuduysan\u0131z bunu bilirsiniz. Tek \u201cayd\u0131nlanma d\u00f6nemi\u201d tamamiyle bir Tek Adam, Mustafa Kemal Atat\u00fcrk\u2019ten sayesindedir.
