\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 They are\u00a0singing that old sweet song in Turkey again, the big, black lie song.\u00a0Play it again, Tayyip. Except no one\u00a0listens to you anymore. You, the nation\u2019s prime prevaricator, cannot fool any of the\u00a0people any more of the time with your nonsensical flights of fancy. The last one\u00a0did you in, the vintage Jewish-conspiracy alibi last played by your fellow\u00a0fascist-moustache up north in Turkish Diaspora-land. You have nothing left. Your\u00a0thugs have taken over. None of us can escape our past. And you cannot escape\u00a0your future.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Now your\u00a0primary objective seems to be maiming, and, if appropriate, killing the nation\u2019s\u00a0youth. It is no secret. We see the cops whose inhuman behavior seems to be from\u00a0another planet, perhaps Pennsylvania. We see the street gangs that dress like\u00a0you. These are your thug-people, presumably doing their bloody work in the name of your bizarre hallucination of what Allah would like. Hitler had his Sturmabteilung<\/em>, the SA Brownshirts, who also\u00a0specialized\u00a0 in street violence.\u00a0And they didn\u2019t like Jews either. You and yours are definitely of their ilk.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 You call it\u00a0self-defense\u2014against terrorists, or against foreign powers, or against\u00a0alcoholics, or against Europe, or against doctors, or against the European Union, or against the Divan\u00a0Hotel or against, why not?, the Jewish Diaspora.\u00a0But your nose is much too long\u00a0now, growing and getting bloodier by the day. It is all so unsightly.\u00a0Your idiot puppets like the so-called media, and outright jerks Mutlu, Guler, and Atalay and assorted other boobs you\u2019ve \u00a0scraped up from obscurity still chirp in your choir. You might be so deluded to call it loyalty. But they are\u00a0nitwits\u2014you know it, we know it, the world knows it. And that\u2019s what nitwits do,\u00a0chirp nonsense, your nonsense. This is some poor excuse of a government.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Lies,\u00a0beatings, gassings, shootings, stabbings, slashings, ooof, it\u2019s disgusting and\u00a0it\u2019s enough! Isn\u2019t it enough? Yet you and your goons persist. For hoodlums\u00a0like your thugs, even funeral processions are targets. Surely you are joking\u00a0about being a prime minister. Crime minister maybe, but leading a nation\u2019s\u00a0people, never. In the great tradition of tragic figures, you will end alone. And\u00a0you will become comic. That is inevitable. It\u2019s already happening. America is\u00a0laughing at you on evening TV. Don\u2019t worry, your reaction is normal. Bullies hate humor. Laughs threaten\u00a0them. So it\u2019s quite alright\u00a0that you\u00a0might feel oddly out of sorts. When someone laughs at a bully,\u00a0the game is over. Turkey is\u00a0alone too, at least your Turkey. Thanks to you and yours Turkey is a rogue\u00a0state. Inhuman, conscienceless\u00a0police violence. A craven army that allows the government to destroy it\u00a0every time it beats a kid in the street. Rampaging violence on the order of\u00a0Pinochet. Mayhem in the streets on a Hitlerian scale. Mass arrests to intimidate. It\u2019s all part of the endgame. The\u00a0increasing chaos only hastens your end.\u00a0History says so. Your government is drowning in blood while grasping at straws.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 And it\u2019s all\u00a0coming\u00a0 home to roost on your well-protected roof top.\u00a0The world has seen\u00a0the pictures of the machine gunners dressed in black that protect you. You will need ten million\u00a0more of them. The end is nearing. You will begin to hear helicopters in the\u00a0night. This is how you will leave. Under cover of darkness. And no one will\u00a0care. You will vanish like the night.<\/span> <\/span><\/div>\n
