Soldiers arrested for participating in an attempted military coup in Turkey told interrogators that they thought they were on exercises when the attempt began, the Turkish newspaper Hurriyet reported.

The group consisting of 10 officers and 67 soldiers was arrested at the Ataturk international airport in Istanbul.

During interrogation, they said they mistook the coup attempt for a training exercise.

"Only when people started to climb the tanks did we realize what was really going on," one of the detainees was quoted as saying by the newspaper.

According to the soldiers, the colonel, who was in command, ordered to step back when police units arrived.

On Friday, a military coup attempt was carried out in Turkey. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan early in the morning on July 16 declared he is in control of the country.

Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said that all coup supporters were identified and would be apprehended as the country was returning to normal life.

Over 180 people were killed and 1,470 were injured during the events, while nearly 3,000 people have already been detained, according to the prime minister.

People are being played with...
Just another CIA-run regime change. Check out the James Corbett interview with Sibel Edmonds... MSM news outlets are the marketing agents for this.

Please Note: The Publication date for this video is January, 2014 - more than 1 year & a half ago. From the description section: Sibel talks about Erdogan's falling out with Fethullah Gülen & the CIA (who helped put him in power), and how 'servicable puppets' are discarded by their shadow government masters when they reach their "expiration date."

Sibel states that Gülen is mostly considered senile, who's has lost most of his mental faculties, and the CIA is mostly using his name as a 'brand' for the little people to believe is leading the charge on this. Yes, the little people are being controlled & will be still further exploited.

Turkish PM Erdogan:
The Speedy Transformation of an Imperial Puppet

by Sibel Edmonds | January 18, 2014
Source

Sibel Edmonds writes (January 18 2014):

‘Marketing is everything … and everything is marketing’? I know it was originally meant for product sales, because admit it, you can have the best product engineering, financial backing and operational mastery … but in the end the success of your product is determined by how your customers perceive your product-your brand. This principle of marketing applies equally as well to our domestic politics and politicians, and it is equally valid for world politics and leaders. The principle governs one of the main operations of the U.S. Empire: Regime Building & Puppet Installation. Not only that, it is also used in reverse as well. Think of it as reverse engineering. It is very similar: The Empire uses the same principle of marketing to bring down regimes and uninstall puppets. The reversal of Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan’s world and domestic image provides a perfect example of the Empire’s reverse marketing.

As outlined by Sibel Edmonds, take a look at the following list of MSM headlines in the section of her article:

This is How USA-Installed Puppets Go from Democratic Presidents to Despots & Terrorists When Their Time Comes

-- February 16, 2011 - Turkey can model democracy for the Arab world by CNN

Article snipit:

"Erdogan was among the first leaders to call for Mubarak to step down. Nobel winner Mohamed ElBaradei; Amr Moussa, the secretary general of the Arab League; and leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood praise Turkey's example. In Tunisia, prominent opposition leader Rachid Ghannouchi praised Turkey for proving "that Islam and democracy go together."

-- April 14, 2011 - Turkish Democracy: A Model For Other Countries by "All Things Considered" by NPR Radio

-- Oct. 18, 2011 - Turkey is a model for democracy and new relations with the West by "The Daily Star" Lebanon

Article snip:

"Turkey’s rising trajectory was highlighted by the rock-star reception accorded to Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan during his recent tour of the Arab Spring states of Egypt, Tunisia and Libya and his high-profile meetings during the annual session of the United Nations General Assembly.

Many find the Turkish model enticing, with the moderate Islamic Justice and Development Party, known as AKP, in office; a secular constitution in place; a strong military that is subservient to the elected civilian authority; and an economy that has been expanding.

Overall there’s hope that a new democratic era in the Middle East and North Africa will enable Arabs to develop a new paradigm for relations with the West. This paradigm would be based on equality and partnership – a position that Turkey has already achieved."

-- November 18 2011 - Turkey: a model of democracy for the Arab world by the BBC

-- March 25, 2012 - Remarks by President Obama and Prime Minister Erdogan of Turkey after Bilateral Meeting The White House Briefing Room Website

Obama states:

"I just want to say how much I appreciate the opportunity to once again meet with my friend and colleague, Prime Minister Erdogan. I think it's fair to say that over the last several years, the relationship between Turkey and the United States has continued to grow across every dimension. And I find Prime Minister Erdogan to be an outstanding partner and an outstanding friend on a wide range of issues."

Sibel Edmonds:

Of course, once that happens, when the symbolic Imperial President markets and sells an imperial product, the world echoes it:

Obama Names Turkey’s Erdoğan among
Top Five International Friends

]

That’s right. The U.S. Empire spent over a decade marketing and promoting its favorite puppet in the Middle East- the AKP Party & Erdogan, as the model for the Islamic World, Islamic Democracy, People’s Choice, Great Leader … And then, bam, suddenly the AKP Party and its leader reached their shelf-life. All of a sudden they reached their expiration date. Almost over-night the party and its leader went from democratic to despotic, from democracy-loving to dictator, from squeaky clean to utterly corrupt, from moderate to extremist … what the hell happened? How did the Empire-directed man of choice make a 180 degree turn overnight?

Let me give you some examples of the sudden reversal in branding and marketing, and have you compare and contrast them with those above. Please keep in mind, you are looking at a only few months between the decade-long branding-marketing and the now reverse branding-marketing.

-- January 17, 2014 - Turkey: Between Deep State and Dictatorship by "Commentary Magazine"

Sibel continues:

"I know that even the idiots among us would not believe such a sudden and drastic change in a person. No one goes from being the most freedom loving leader to the most authoritarian despot. No human being can be transformed from democratic to dictator in a matter of few months. No person can switch from fair and squeaky clean to utterly dirty and corrupt. Nobody can convert from being a moderate Islamist to an extremist bigot in less than a year. But wait, there is even more.

The Empire has even resorted to the “Terrorist” label in the reverse branding-marketing of their previous puppet boy. You know what it means when they start using that card-terrorist. Right?

Here is an article on Erdogan’s ties to a famous man designated as a terrorist (only when it is convenient for the Empire):

-- January 7, 2014 - Turmoil in Turkey - Erdogan's Son Caught with Al-Qaeda Financier

Article snip:

"Turkey’s political crisis took a dark turn this week. Photos of Prime Minister Erdoğan’s son meeting a suspected al-Qaeda financier in an Istanbul hotel were leaked to the press. The photos allegedly show Bilal Erdoğan meeting Saudi Arabian businessman Yasin al-Qadi, whom the US blacklisted in April 2013 as an al-Qaeda funder. According to media reports, Qadi, who visits Turkey frequently and was escorted by the Prime Minister’s security men, met Bilal to discuss a deal for a juicy piece of real estate worth $1 billion in Istanbul’s Etiler neighborhood."

Today's excellent post by Wayne Madsen on what he calls the Erdogan-engineered fake coup.

July 16-18, 2016 -- SPECIAL REPORT. Turkish sources: Erdogan behind "false flag" coup

WMR has been informed by Turkish and foreign intelligence sources inside Turkey that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan staged the July 15 military coup in order to determine what sections of the military would support it. Erdogan, who was never in any real danger of being overthrown by the small group of mid- and lower-ranking military officers who rallied to support the coup, will use the incident as a way to flush out supporters of exiled Turkish charismatic Islamic leader Fethulleh Gulen.

Turkish sources report that the coup was limited by Erdogan's design from the very start. Although the coup began as a classic military overthrow of a civilian government, with strategic points -- the two cross-Bosporus bridges, the Istanbul international airport, the state broadcast network TRT, and the General Staff headquarters in Ankara -- all being taken by the coup leaders, it was doomed to failure.

It is still a mystery how the coup leaders, who limited their actions to seizing a few but not all strategic centers, could shut down all social media in Turkey, including Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. In fact, after Erdogan left his holiday hotel in Marmaris on the Aegean Sea, his plane was reportedly refused landing at Istanbul's Ataturk International Airport, which was in rebel hands. Erdogan's propaganda operation then began to put out false information that Erdogan, who was in the air on his presidential plane, was seeking asylum in Germany. WMR's sources report that Erdogan's plane never strayed far from Turkish airspace. Although major social media was shut down, Erdogan appeared on FaceTime from his iPhone on CNN Turk, which had not yet been seized by the rebel military forces.

If the coup had been a serious attempt, FaceTime would have been cut off and CNN Turk would have been seized at the same time that TRT was taken over. Also, the state-run Anadolu news agency continued to issue statements from Prime Minister Binali Yildirim claiming that the coup had been put down just after it started. An actual coup would have seen the news agency also shut down.

Erdogan instructed his supporters to take to the streets, in addition to seizing Ataturk airport from the pro-coup military forces. After Erdogan supporters took over the airport, Erdogan landed at the airport during the early morning hours of July 16 to be met by cheering crowds. Generating even more sympathy for himself, Erdogan claimed that his hotel in Marmaris was bombed after he left it for his plane. It would also be in Erdogan's interest to order the bombing of his massive presidential palace in Ankara, again, as a way to garner popular sympathy and support.

Erdogan also held a news conference in which he not only threatened Gulen but his host state of Pennsylvania: "I have a message for Pennsylvania: You have engaged in enough treason against this nation. If you dare, come back to your country." Erdogan substituted Pennsylvania for the name Gulen. However, it is clear that Erdogan, who is used to threatening political leaders in his own country, was referring to Pennsylvania politicians who support Gulen, including senators Bob Casey, a Democrat, and Pat Toomey, a Republican.

Gulen denied any involvement in the coup. Erdogan has issued an arrest warrant for Gulen and a request to the Obama administration to extradite the cleric to Turkey. An attempt by the U.S. Justice Department to pull Gulen's permanent residency status was forcibly opposed in the U.S. appellate court in Philadelphia by the Central Intelligence Agency. As WMR reported in 2008, "the appeals court ruled that Gulen was 'an alien of extraordinary ability,' a decision that saw approval of Gulen's residency status. Observers of the case suspect the CIA intervened with the court on Gulen's behalf."

Erdogan has already begun a purge of the military and intelligence services. Apparently, the police opted to side with Erdogan. Almost 2000 military officers and conscripts have been arrested by Erdogan's government and the president and Prime Minister Yildirim both stated that the coup participants will be dealt with harshly. Most of the coup participants were from the air force, Army armored units, and military police. It appears that in rounding up coup participants, Erdogan's government is involved in a fish net operation, using the coup as an excuse to also arrest Erdogan critics. The coup attempt was a standard "fly paper" operation, with Erdogan and his allies now seeing which officers attached themselves to the coup.


An actual professional coup would have shut down all social media, including Instagram and FaceTime.

Our sources in Turkey claim that the coup attempt was a false flag operation for a number of reasons:

The coup attempt started out as a textbook overthrow but rapidly fell apart. Many in Turkey believe that if such a coup was a serious operation, it would not have dissipated so rapidly.
After first claiming they had total control of Turkey, the coup leaders gave up with only token resistance.
By closing all lanes on the cross-Bosporus bridges and not keeping one lane open so people could get home from work, the population grew angry at the "coup" and its "leaders."
Erdogan's plane landed without incident. In an actual coup, his plane would have been surrounded by the military and he would have been placed under arrest. Or, if the presidential plane insisted on landing against the military's orders, it could have been shot down.
Erdogan was met at the airport by a crowd waving brand new Turkish flags, the folds still visible. This is always a sign of George Soros's involvement in themed revolutions, with protesters always waving factory-fresh flags. Some Erdogan supporters were also seen waving brand new flags representing the Muslim separatist group of East Turkestan in western China, a group supported by Soros. Soros's Open Society Institute operates freely in Istanbul and Soros is on friendly terms with Erdogan.
Erdogan's government ordered the imams to begin using the minarets to urge people into the streets. In an actual military coup, the minaret speaker systems would have been ordered to remain silent or power would have been cut off to the mosques. Erdogan's Justice and Development Party (AKP) supporters were marching in the streets hand-in-hand with imams and other Muslim officials shouting "Allahu Akbar."
The Pentagon claims it was surprised by the coup. However, U.S. military officers are attached as NATO liaison officers to the Turkish Defense Ministry and Turkish officers work inside the Pentagon. It is doubtful that such a coup could have been planned by a small group of Turkish officers without the Turkish General Staff and U.S. liaison officers knowing about it.
Erdogan's government, on the morning after the coup attempt, ordered the sacking of 2,745 judges.
There were also three military attacks on the Turkish parliament in Ankara. It is very possible that these were carried out by pro-Erdogan military units. Erdogan has been trying to force through a new Constitution for Turkey that would confer even more powers on the president. Erdogan has also seized control of Gulen-owned media, including the newspaperZaman and he recently suggested that Syrian refugees in Turkey, including a number of jihadists, be granted Turkish citizenship. These moves were met with hostility by Turkey's opposition parties in parliament. By ordering an attack on parliament, Erdogan was sending a not-so-subtle message to the opposition. In the wake of the coup, Erdogan has silenced the political opposition while having messages of support from U.S. president Barack Obama, German chancellor Angela Merkel, British prime minister Theresa May, and EU President Donald Tusk, among others.

In orchestrating the coup, Erdogan combined a bit of Adolf Hitler's strategy. Hitler ordered the burning of the Reichstag, blaming it on "Communists," in order to abrogate the German Weimar constitution and grant more powers to himself. By waiting to see who joined the false flag coup, Erdogan also borrowed a page from Hitler after the Operation Valkyrie attempt to kill the fuehrer in a remote control bombing. Hitler waited to address the nation until all the supporters of Valkyrie made themselves known. It was then that Hitler ordered their arrests and executions. Erdogan is now operating as Hitler did in 1944 from East Prussia. Erdogan is ordering the arrests of all those involved in or suspected to have been involved in the coup that was destined to fail. And that makes Erdogan infinitely more dangerous than any actual military junta that would have taken over Turkey to restore secular rule and steer the country away from Erdogan's delusion of Ottoman grandeur.

This is totally different thing.
Yugoslavia was not in NATO. And what happened in Yugoslavia, NATO and the west saw that as a civil war.
Also the most important thing to have mushrooming is capabilities of launching or detonating a nuclear weapon, which none of the Yugoslavias countries didn't have.
On the other hand in Turkey there is a US base in Incirlik in which are stored tactical nuclear weapons.
Someone up in the post said that Russia will attack Turkey, and the response was if that happened NATO will have to intervene and "could" lead to mushrooming.

Turkey coup bid: US warns against 'insinuations' of involvement

The US has warned Turkey against "public insinuations" of
American involvement in a failed military coup, saying such
claims are "utterly false and harmful" to their relations.

US Secretary of State John Kerry was speaking after Turkey's
labour minister suggested the US was behind the coup.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has called on the US
to extradite US-based Turkish cleric Fethullah Gulen.

Mr Erdogan has accused him of being behind the plot, which
Mr Gulen denies.

Mr Gulen, speaking from his home in Pennsylvania, denied
the claims and said "as someone who suffered under multiple
military coups during the past five decades, it is especially
insulting to be accused of having any link to such an attempt".

Today From: Drudge Report / Yahoo! News
US-based cleric denies involvement in Turkey coup bid...

"The US-based cleric that President Recep Tayyip Erdogan says is behind an attempted military coup in Turkey has denied any involvement, suggesting that the coup could have been staged by the president himself.

Erdogan has accused Gulen, a reclusive Muslim cleric living in self-imposed exile in a mountain town in Pennsylvania, of being behind Friday's bloody putsch attempt. He wants Washington to extradite Gulen to Turkey.

The 75-year-old Gulen was once a close Erdogan ally but the two fell out in recent years as the Turkish president became suspicious of Gulen's movement, Hizmet, and its powerful presence in Turkish society, including in the media, police and judiciary.

Gulen condemned the military uprising "in the strongest terms" shortly after the coup attempt began late Friday.

And in a rare meeting Saturday with a small group of reporters at his compound in the town of Saylorsburg, in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania, Gulen rejected charges of being the coup mastermind.

[Of course he denies being the mastermind, as it is the CIA that is using the imam cleric as their 'front man' for this supposed coup.... ]

Continuing w/ Sibel Edmonds' Article (above):

"For Erdogan the rift with Imam Fethullah Gulen means a rift with the CIA. And we all know what happens to those puppets when they end up in a rift with the CIA. Don’t we? The rift always brings expiration. Once a puppet is considered expired, then lo and behold, all of a sudden, the reversal branding and marketing begins: All old skeletons are dug out of the deep closets and leaked to the media. His previously overlooked human rights violations are looked at and scrutinized under a microscope. The terrorist card is brought into the equation. And the list goes on…" (Emphasis mine.)

[And now Erdogan is playing right into the CIA's hand for a more forceful regime change...]

Sibel:

Violating Imperial Commandments
All Empire-installed puppets and regimes must commit to the Empire’s commandments. This is a fact. It is the reality. Thou shall not violate the Imperial commandments. Because if you do, thou shall be disgraced, exposed, uninstalled, and may even be given death. All you have to do is look at the past century’s history. See what happens when an installed puppet gets too confident and inflicted with hubris, and ignores one or more commandments. This is when they are reborn as dictators, despots, torturers, and yes, terrorists. This is when their backyards get dug up to find a few grams of weapons of mass destruction. So did Erdogan get too confident? Did he violate a commandment or two? It seems that he did.

Turkey Mulls Buying Missiles from China, Snubbing NATO (10/28/2013)

"Turkey has said that it is likely to buy a new missile defense program from a Chinese firm, unnerving NATO and American diplomats. A Reuters report from earlier this month said that Turkey is “highly likely” to buy the $3.4 billion program, from a firm under American sanctions, no less."

NATO's Mounting Opposition to Turkey’s Chinese Missile System (October 16, 2013)

Turkey’s Choice of Chinese Missiles Poses Problem for West (October 1, 2013)

"Washington has reacted with concern over the decision of Turkey's Defense Industry Executive Committee (SSIK), the absolute authority on the country's defense projects and procurement, to acquire China’s FD-2000 system to fill the NATO member's high-altitude and long-range air defense gap. The committee met on Sept. 26 with Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan to enter into contract negotiations with the state-owned China Precision Machinery Export-Import Corporation."

...

Sibel:

Concern? Are you kidding me?! The puppet may as well sign his own death warrant. How dare he! This is violating one of the top Imperial commandments. Anyone who ever dares to be this reckless will be punished and made an example for all other installed-puppets.

Dear lord! Here comes another major commandment violation:

Turkey Renews Plea to Join Shanghai Cooperation Organization

"During a trip to Russia in November, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan once again said that Ankara would abandon its quest to join the European Union if it was offered full membership in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization."
...

Mr. Erdogan Goes to Shanghai

"Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan dropped that bomb on Jan. 25. With Turkish hopes for the EU membership diminishing, he declared the SCO to be a viable alternative to the European Union. “I said to Russian President Vladimir Putin, ‘You tease us, saying, ‘what [is Turkey] doing in the EU?’ Now I tease you: Include us in the Shanghai Five and we will forget about the EU.’”

Sibel:

Ouch! There goes another pledge to the Empire’s top commandments. Frankly, I am surprised he is still there - alive.

No matter how we look at it Erdogan’s days are numbered. One will not get away with having a major rift with the CIA. That’s one commandment - Violated! Thou shall not buy weapons from China or Russia regardless of quality or price advantage. Thou shall only feed the Empire’s own fat Military Industrial Complex players. That’s another major commandment - Violated! A puppet shall only be a member of clubs solely owned and operated by the Empire. Joining others’ clubs, even thinking of joining others’ clubs, shall come with severe retribution. This rule has been written with inerasable ink - Violated!

Well, these should take care of the Empire’s three-strike rule. Erdogan should begin looking for a shelter; a refuge. Either it’s that, or the Turkish people taking the matters into their own hands-where they belong.

How "lucky" Erdogan was to not being shot down by fighter jets...

At the height of the attempt to overthrow Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan, the rebel pilots of two F-16 fighter jets had Erdogan's plane in their sights. And yet he was able to fly on.

The Turkish leader was returning to Istanbul from a holiday near the coastal resort of Marmaris after a faction in the military launched the coup attempt on Friday night, sealing off a bridge across the Bosphorus, trying to capture Istanbul's main airport and sending tanks to parliament in Ankara.

"At least two F-16s harassed Erdogan's plane while it was in the air and en route to Istanbul. They locked their radars on his plane and on two other F-16s protecting him," a former military officer with knowledge of the events told Reuters.

"Why they didn't fire is a mystery," he said.

Russia will invade Turkey in the spring of 2017.

You happen to be in close contact with Putin?

However, the real punchline was revealed moments ago when Anadolu said a top body overseeing judges and prosecutors has dismissed 2,745 judges across the country. Anadolu Agency says the emergency meeting of the Judges and Prosecutors High Council was held Saturday, mere hours after Turkish forces quashed an attempted coup, and promptly purged the slate clean of anyone in the judicial branch who was seen as even remotely opposed to Erdogan.

Promptly following that, Turkey’s state-run news agency also said that authorities have detained 10 members of Turkey’s highest administrative court as the government pressed ahead with a purge of judiciary officials with alleged links to a U.S.-based Muslim cleric, which impressively was concluded just hours after the coup had fizzled: almost as if it had all been planned all along.

The Anadolu Agency added on Saturday that arrest warrants were issued for 48 administrative court members and 140 members of Turkey’s appeals court: as if members of Turkey’s judicial system – long on Erdodan’s black list – were involved in the army’s failed putsch.

The thing that nobody wants to say, as it reveals the actual existence of fully blown wide spread secret societies. Openly reveals it, excepting..... the knowledge of the below statistics. It exposes the actual grease of function & motion - the actual levers.

It is said that: One in every six police officers in the west is a Freemason. which means that ....probably ..almost all western police chiefs are Freemasons. Probably most to all judges are affiliated. The BAR. Lawyers. etc.

This bears the appearance of being practically a 100% freemasonry oriented purge. If not, most definitely centered around the activities and nesting areas of Freemasons, in one way or another.

It was stated by VT (veterans today) that this was probably an attempt by christian (Freemasons) embedded deep in the (Turkish) system. Usually they show very little incompetence in such matters, so I wonder what the game was or is.

Controlling the given law of the given land is at a least as powerful as controlling the money. As one can see.

We can also see (in the case of further musing and logical deduction) that major conflicts and issues (as opposed to the minor warlord 'outbreaks' here and there) on this planet are definitely associated with secret societies.

"Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men's views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it." --Woodrow Wilson

To my general knowledge, even the best conspiracy writers (generally) won't speak on this matter. Yet it is the most important thing of all, to be aware of. One cannot fit the puzzle together and look in the correct effective directions, until one knows this single point.

Secret society factional wars. All this activity in the world today (and historically) -for better or for worse- is directly tied to secret society factional wars.

It is all beneath the surface and has almost nothing to do with whatever is written or shown/aired -for public consumption.

What if that's exactly what it is: a purge of police officers who are not toeing the line of "shoot first and won't have to bother asking questions", are considered traitors... deserters... etc... you know, mafia/Skull & Bones/masonic style... all the while adding some more fuel to the smoldering civil braziers...

You mean like that which has just gone down in Turkey? Amazing thing coincidence, isn't it?

... put that together with post # 23 and this post (<---) and maybe there is a world wide "coup" happening...
