"TURKEY PROSECUTOR SAYS OFFICIALS CRIMINALLY DISOBEYING COURTS"
the solution is as simple as it is obvious
replace the judges in all those courts so that officials can obey the proper rulings
ideally, the judges would be children (or nephews) of the govt officials, in order to leverage their additional channels of communication and their shared experiences and shared devotion to the people
OFFICIALS CRIMINALLY DISOBEYING COURTS
I'm shocked, shocked, to learn that "officials" are disobeying law.
Do as thou wilt is the whole of the law.
Morality is a tool for controlling the masses.
Arbeit Macht Frei.
Just imagine if that happened in the USSA.
Actually it already has, many times, in US history. Equal branches of power and all that. One cannot dictate to the other.
Currencies and governments are falling apart all over the world. The main question seems to be who will be last standing, the USD, EUR or RMB?
Is Russia next?
South Africa is about ready to fall in the abyss as well.

You gotta love a little chart porn in the morning.
It wasn't that many months ago when Turkey was proclaimed to be an economic and political 'Garden of Eden' with everything going so well. This just shows how fast the global economic collapse will be in the era of the Bernanke Bubble. Not only will currencies and the real economy fall through the floor, but it will be accompanied by the active resistance of all the 'hangers on' who will try to preserve the former golden age of unlimited power and money. This will happen soon to the United States and Europe if the current policies are not changed.
Erdogan's delusions of being the emperor of the neo ottoman empire along with idiotically indulging his vanity when western leaders whispered sweet nothings in his ear among other things have sealed his fate, the only question is how ugly things get. I don't know if he is bi-polar, or has some sort of cybil thing going on ( multiple personality disorder ) but he has made overtures to iran while actively prosecuting a terrorist campaign on their ally syria, and had hot and cold relations with Israel. So his caprice is clearly indicative of someone who has been in some measure at least, given leave of his senses.
He should stick to riding fukkin horses.

It was a just a little while ago that the people were beaten in the streets for expressing their opinions concerning a park as I recall.
My how the tide has now turned in Istanbul.
yes that was the fuse that lit the powder keg. Larger issues as I understand it include Erdogan ditching the secular country Ataturk helped create in favor of an increasingly overtly islamic country including shutting down churches, putting islam into schools and cracking down on things like drinking.
Looks like we're hitting ludicrous speed in terms of the shit hitting the fan.
And the bastards became arrogant over-night. I did some technical consulting for the government several years ago and out of the blue got an email from one of the guys there about a year back. To the effect 'we're available to help the West (kuffars) now, don't need you anymore'.
Schadenfreude is sweet.
this turkey is going down
Turkey has excellent long term trends, see this post from the Asia Times a month ago by Pepe Escobar
Turkey pushes crossroads politics

Turkey always goes on sale after Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Fast & Furious, Bhengazi. Good thing obstruction of Justice will never be tolerated in Amerika...
Benjamin Franklin wanted the Turkey to be the official bird / symbol of the United States. Instead, those turkies chose the bald eagle.
Industrial turkies weigh so much that when they try and stand up, they sometimes break a leg.

Okey dokey.
Armstrong was over this back in june..

All that one had to do was read the regional newspapers. There is nothing special about anything that Armstrong noted here though credit could be given for the fact that he has eyes and ears on so many topics, i.e., one did not need some supercomputer or high-falutent theory based on ancient Greek mathematics to come up with this.
I've noticed that the bigger the basket case, the better for the stock market. I'm keeping an eye on this one.
Turkey is experiencing the same credit bust that saw Syria go under. The only difference so far is that certain outside parties are not taking advantage of the situation through sanctions, agitation & straight out gun running to attempt to destroy the country & pick up whatever pieces remain.
