"We'll Destroy Twitter" Blasts Turkish PM
It appears the madness is contagious. Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, embroiled in an ongoing and huge corruption probe, lashed out at "international conspiracies" in a speech at a rally in Bursa. "We'll dig up Twitter - all of them - from the roots," he raged, "they'll see the power of the Republic of Turkey." With the looming elections - sure to fair and equitable to all - he warned he would "settle scores" after winning. Indeed...
Via Bloomberg,
“We’ll dig up Twitter and so on -- all of them -- from the roots."
"When people say, ‘Sir, the international community would say this or that,’ it doesn’t interest me at all," Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan says today, according to state-run Anatolia news agency.
Erdogan, quoted at a rally in Bursa, also says:
Court decision has been made regarding Twitter, without elaborating on the decision
"International conspiracies are a part of this"
"They’ll see the power of the Republic of Turkey"

Rancid, power hungry, lunatic, megalomaniacal sociopaths.
Turkey needs to cut back on the fluoride in their water supply ... it's not helping.
Social media vs. crazed oligarchs.
At least we know which side the ZeroKnowledge crowd is rooting for.
Simple solution to raising the IQ around here... delete the above account.
Thank god i lost my PC in an unfortunate boating accident
ZeroHeads hate government so much that they want government to make a "gold backed" currency.
Ironic isn't it?
"Don't control our lives but please, control our money!"
It would mean they would have to take responsibility, stop shifting blame and maybe even learn something.
So in other words, not happening.
Actually, we would like the U.S. government to exit the currency business and banking business altogether. Let the market decide. Laissez faire, et laissez le bon temps roulez.
Free Markets are inherently inefficient.
The real world is populated by humans who don’t have complete information, who may have bad information, and some who just make mistakes. Many free market participants act irrationally, and they all act egoistically.
O.k., o.k., who mentioned the Armenian genocide?
Most of us do know a gold-backed currency is not flexible. Why not just have gold reserves, as Europe does? The Euro is not backed by anything, yet they account for it at market value quarterly.
Of course, the solution for individual ZeroHeads is to become your own central bank! Buy physical gold!
BTC can be part of that equation too.
Optional: CA$H, water & food, guns & ammo, key medicines, the list goes on forever...
Yes and gold has nothing to do with a gold standard. Just like GLD has nothing to do with GOLD.
Only a scammer and a fake libertarian would want government involved in any type of currency issuance.
Let a thousand currencies compete!
(I do not understand the reds for yr benign comment)
No government in currencies is the ideal. But even going back to a fake gold standard (1933-1971) would be a plus.
There is no reason for any "standards" whatsoever. If you have circulating gold & silver coins you don't need "standards". And if you put .gov markings all over the coins that's saying that the .gov writing, mottos and not the content that is important. Or your county's gold is somehow better than another country's gold. It's pretty easy to see how the posters here, their parents and grandparents were swindled.
But what will all the gov tit sucking useless eaters do if they can't controll our lives?! You selfish foney, wont you think of the childrens?
Your criticism of the 1933-1971 "gold standard" is invalid as there was no coins circulating at all.
fonestar was speaking of "standards" in general. If there is one ounce of silver or gold in a disk, there is no reason to call them dollars, pounds, rubles, yen... whatever.
That's because a gold standard helps control politicians and bankers.
Just take a look at the CPI post 1971.
Bend over and grease up for TPTB douche. You all know they're invincible.
Destroy Twitter? It's not even my birthday
But it is the first day of Spring.*
* Sorry, Aussies
Hope you're not in the US East, check the forecast*, it's about to get another polar blast.
* Sorry Yankies :D
The only thing better is if Putin started bitch slapping Zio-Erdogan and Turkey around.
mate Turkey is the second largest army in NATO/ZATO.
700k army is no joke even for Putin.
How do I support this glorious turkish venture?
Dig up twitters? Does he think they are potatoes?
BY THE ROOTS I TELL YOU! BY THE ROOTS DAMN IT!
Classical Erdogan citizenism: introducing extortion as being done to the benefit of the extorted and through the sacrifice of the extorter.
It is a mattering point because Erdogan citizenism citizens love to sell some social virtues like loyalty to nation, race, team or whatever group that be when it is obvious that the thing that has held them up together is that ganging up to extort, defraud, and plunder.
Other people, well, they know that Erdogan citizenism stands very high in the list of systems that roots deep in fantasical references...
One of NATO's best foaming-deranged-berserkers though.
Something to wash it down:
Out of the mouths of idiots.
Ha ha ha. That would be like Twitter saying they would blast Turkey! Different universes, Mr. Erdogan.
Disclosure: No dog in this fight, but laying in more popcorn.
What are the qualification for world political and financial leaders?
Don't you just love how these macho middle eastern pricks love to bloviate about their power and might?
What a bunch of women.
I may actually like that shithole Turkey now. Twitter is for tards and narcissist fanboys.
Erdogan should go have a bagel and wash it down with hemlock. Maybe Zukerberg can join him.
“We’ll dig up Twitter and so on -- all of them -- from the roots."
Turkey gonna dig up all the twitters. I wonder what Barry's army of fake followers has to say about this.
They dig up twitters by using specially trained dogs out in the forest. I hear they're pretty expensive.
I heard they can smell useless bullshit a mile away...
"I Dig Twitter" -- Erdogan

Russia/Turkey/Libya/Iran, etc...vs. Israel and its 'friends' (as i mentioned yesterday)
Lets see what happens...
If Maduro can stay in power, Erdogoon can too.

I hope they destroy Facebook too.......
Nah, it's gonna do it all by itself...
NSA will kill everyone on the planet before they'd ever let anything happen to their crown jewel called facebook.
Besides, if it ever does go down, it's only because they've created a "New a & Improved" social network with lots and lots of shiny Skinner Boxes.
We can use him, he will fit right in.
Speed up the process to make Turkey a full member of the EU.
I hate tweets.
did he send that using Twitter?
Don't do it yet buddy, let me buy a few short dated 20% out of the money Puts first.
This is the year of the agressive Politician
Nice, blow the motherfuckers up! You tellem Baba!
Philip K. Dick was a PROPHET.
"I DRIVE A KIA SORENTO!!"
What a CF, all this bickering sounds like an elementary school playground.
a turkey he is.
And THIS just in from Crawford, Texas:
They Hate Us for Our 'Tweeting' - Dubya
Hey! I Know!
Let's stick a NG pipeline from the ME to Europe through Turkey!
(Boy. Are we furked)
Don't forget to use "Greece"....
I want it to come from Iran through Iraq (bypassing Syria bc they're naughty) and maybe have an interconnector in the Caspian which the Russians will be overjoyed about.
Double + realistic, huh?
Is Obama trying to destabilize Turkey too?
Hopefully Turkey will soon kick out this lame duck.
He's going to dig up "all of them"? You mean there's more than one Twitter?
I guess the other Twitters are in the "internets"
meanwhile on Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's twitter feed we read that..................
NATO! NATO! NATO!
...and this is the first foreign leader our current president chose to call after taking office.
Says something about being a judge of character, no?
Or perhaps something along the lines of "two peas in the same pod"?
go right ahead, it's perfectly useless platform anyway.
Twitter, is that the gap between the tw*t and the sh*tter?
o m g ... that man needs a neurological intervention ... with a brick
Bring Twitter down.
We are all Turks now...
Studies show Twitter users consider themselves "sexier" than those who don't use it.
Where will all those narcisstic assholes go if it's shut down?
He'd have an easier time in Ukraine.
Oligarchs there obviously have a much
easier time selling to people's
insecurities, as the regimes fascists'
personal issues are easily sold to,
with them confusing state for corporatist
and different ethnicities as the source of
the mess created by oligarchs' (self-) privatization
of policy.
If he'd just link up with other oligarchs,
who've never had a issue with division for
themselves, taking after the royals, perhaps
the Turks could attain better democracy,
and if peoples elsewhere could follow suit,
then nations could serve their people
democratically and cooperate to save
the habitat and serve the common
interest of living long and prospering.
