Marxist Group Takes Turkish Prosecutor Hostage, Posts Pictures
It’s been a tumultuous day in Turkey.
In the midst of a near-nationwide blackout that grounded planes and froze rail traffic and which officials say could be terror-linked, armed gunman have taken a prosecutor hostage in an Istanbul court house. The prosecutor, Mehmet Selim Kiraz, is in charge of the investigation into the death of a 14-year old boy who died after being hit in the head by a tear gas canister in 2013 amid widespread protests. Here’s more via BBC:
A banned Marxist revolutionary group is suspected of being behind the incident.
A statement posted online said the prosecutor would be killed if their demands were not met.
Berkin Elvan, who was then 14, was struck in the head by a police tear gas canister in June 2013 as he went to buy bread during mass demonstrations that began in Istanbul and spread across Turkey.
After nine months in a coma he eventually died in an Istanbul hospital.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan, now Turkey's president, inflamed passions shortly after the teenager's death when he said the boy had been carrying a slingshot and had been "taken up into terrorist organisations"...
Suspected members of the Revolutionary People's Liberation Party-Front (DHKP-C) took the prosecutor hostage on the sixth floor of the Caglayan court house, reports said.
A website close to the group has published a series of demands, including calls for an immediate confession from police officers responsible for the boy's death, and for an end to prosecutions of protesters charged over the clashes.
And a bit more color from Reuters:
The Revolutionary People's Liberation Party-Front (DHKP-C) published a picture of the prosecutor with a gun to his head and said it would kill him at 1236 GMT, three hours after gunmen stormed his office, unless its demands were met.
Turkish television stations cut live broadcasts as the deadline passed, some citing a reporting ban. There was no immediate sign of any police action, according to Reuters correspondents at the scene.
Special forces have reportedly stormed the court house and the government has now imposed a press ban. Via Bloomberg:
Turkish prime ministry cites national security for imposition of a temporary press ban, according to state-run Anadolu news agency.
NOTE: Ban applies to hostage situation at the Caglayan courthouse in Istanbul.
Here are the images purported to have been posted by the group:

wait, i recognize those posters....that's Jay Carney's livingroom!
Was it the living room......I thought it was the kitchen.
Everywhere in the house. Then there is the "Che" room.
Karl Marx will rise again.
What? do not take pictures dude, JUST TAKE THE SHOT.
As always, all show and no go.
Marxists are stupid individuals.
Marxists should be on the terror watch list. After all, DHS is so careful about our wellbeing that grandma in her wheelchair gets questioned at the airport, or some kindergartener with a politically objectionable T-shirt gets expelled, or we're all so potentially fearsome that the NSA has to review all our communication to make sure we all play nice.
So let's add the loudmouth, car burning, hammer and sickle flag waving, severe entitlement mentality afflicted, Che worshipping destroyers of private property during justice protests. And they have to take those snot rags off their ugly unwashed mugs. Marxists are good for nothing but anti social rampages and sticking the rest us with the bill.
Stupid? Or are we just seeing Marxism's natural manifestation?
Put a bullet in him Brady
They took my advice, excellent. I wish white people would stand up for themselves, how many guns do those terry tough cunt yanks need before these child murdering cops start dropping like flies?
Police wounded in Ferguson? Pfft, yankees if you can't aim just do what these comrades did, point blank a jew.
The Marxist trolls are out in force again. Maybe they get a commission for every downvote.
At least he's an "armed gunman", according to Tyler. So our revolutionary hero got that right.
Unarmed gunmen are less of a threat.
If you're going to shoot...
Marx was a Zionist.
LOL ... Jay's living room posters, yeah, the posters were a gift from Barry.
Programs here. Get your programs. This is the 1000 year war between sunni and shia, and you can't tell your muslim fighters without your program.
>Karl Marx will rise again.
Unfortunately, it seems humanity has to speeds, dumb and dumber
there's a sucker born every minute
"We're a scary bunch of dudes.
"Really scary.
"Verry VERRY scary!! And definitely Un-Islamic!!
"If we could be scarier we WOULD be scarier. We're working on it!
"Next time we won't be so nice. NEXT time, no putting on our R-R-R-R-RevoLUtionary masks and caps over a dress shirt, slacks and a sports coat. NEXT time we commit murder and mayhem it's COMBAT FATIGUES baby! Then you'll REALLY see how scary we are!
"SOMEbody's got to STOP us before we strike AGAIN!!"
< ...psst... how'd I do boss?...
How convenient. The "terrorists" probably killed the guy investigating the government. With enemies like that, Erdogan doesn't need friends.
False flag?
House cleaning.
EDIT/UPDATE: DEAD.
If Obama had a son......
He would be white?
He'd definitely be a Marxist.
Something about dreams of his father...
Barry is half white....and you know how white people will do you.
White people never lie about one thing. They WILL take your land. Ask any First Nations person, full blood or not, we see it.
....only when the red man was not fighting over it first.
exactly, no dought we stold indian lands, but to who did it rightfully belong, the tribe we stold it from or the tribe who they stold it from........
Those poor noble savages... The situation on the ground circa 400 years ago was a lot more complex, it doesn't matter if one side wants peace if even a FEW influential members on the other side DO NOT want peace.
War was standard procedure, when it came to increasing one's lands/holdings/fiefs. Politics by other means. America, in the largest context, was the world's low hanging fruit.
"White people never lie about one thing. They WILL take your land. Ask any First Nations person, full blood or not, we see it. "
White people? MY ASS.
LATINS.
Take a good hard look at the Western Hemisphere from Arizona on south. It's all occupied by latins: Spanish and Portuguese.
If the Mexican ( Spanish puppet ) govenment of the era had not tried to fuck over the settlers in present day Texas and Florida and California by raising taxes and confiscating land and buildings -often churches, causing a furious backlash and pivot to the US; half of the present day United States would be Mexican and the US might not even exist.
The descendents of the latin conquestadors are still holding the largest swathes of lands and persons subjugated and colonized during the European diaspora.
THE REQUIRIMENTO OF CORTEZ IS STILL ONE OF THE VILEST DOCUMENTS EVER WRITTEN.
As someone who is both white and can trace his lineage back to Tishomingo, the King of the Chickasaw Nation in the early 1800's and the Vikings.....you're all right....and a bit wrong.
Conquest of other people's land is a human trait....not one based on skin color. And usually, if not always, has to do with resource depletion of the homeland of the conquerors looking to take over someone else's land.
At least with my Native American forefathers...any conquering they were doing to each other was just in land and between the family so to speak. Spanish and White conquest came from beyond. It wasn't their business. But they made it so.....simply because of the technology of the day with ships and guns and with high finance through goverment sponsored mercantilism and banking. Not to mention the imprimatur of the church.
Native American conquest was local......Spanish and White conquest was and still is.....global.
I too am of mixed heritage. Native American, European and African descent..
However: I am male and 'pass for white' -and I am beyond exhausted hearing that 'white men' are without exception the cause of every goddamned evil in the world.
White Europeans did not go running into Africa with nets ala that famous scene in 'Roots'.
The Africans had ( and still have! ) a healthy trade in their own kin and neighbors. The Europeans bought at established local African managed slave markets.
The Africans and the Islamists still kidnap and sell their neighbors, and trade their unwanted kin away to this very day.
For all the bitching in the US about the plight of the 'African American' ( a term I absoutely loath ), negroes are not captured, bound and sold at auctions, open markets, or are traded like/for fucking cattle anymore in the United States. This WAS NOT & IS NOT *TODAY* the case in many parts of Africa and the ME.
The slave trade has not existed in the US for more than 100 years. The slave trade does exist RIGHT NOW elsewhere in the world.
'Evil white men' didn't originate this trade in Africa and 'evil white men' don't continue this trade in Africa today.
Negroes & Islamists DO.
IF the African American negro really gave a fuck about ending the evils of slavery and uplifting blacks they would get off their fat asses, take their money and their bravery, and go to Africa to make war on the slave traders and warlords that trade children and women like cattle today instead of bitching for more redistributionism based on shit that happened to people generations ago they may or may not share heritage with here in the USA.
Don't dissagree with 'ya.
But it was the Greco-Roman model of empire that still lingers on to this day.
It was the Renaissance Italians that introduced banking and still have the longest running bank in history.
It was the Dutch who introduced mercantilism and capitalism.
It was the British who introduced Central Banking with the Bank of England.
And all that combined have enslaved more people worldwide and to this very day....than any other form of enslavement. And has conquered more nations and people groups than any other as well.
Just sayin'
All true.
Part of my deep hatred of the race grievance hustlers is precisely because they fool their purported constituents into thinking that self determination is to be found in submission to the banking/merchantilist systems when nothing could be further from the truth.
They rant and rave about evils long ceased and of 'slavery's latent legacy costs' while pushing people into it's modern equivalent via embrace of absolutist statism, dependency, and debt serfdom.
The wonder cures these snake-oil salesmen promote for a long dead generation's illness is to push a variety of vile intellectual poisons and cultural distortions on modern children of minorities.
IMHO, there may only be one group of racial demographic which deserves specific compensation and protection in the Western Hemisphere today: the pre-colonial natives. The negroes and the latins are owed nothing by the average working class whites and I am sick of their self pitying and their repugnant blatantly racist bullshit.
eom
Michele would be the father?
Rather than rip your arms out, now Wookies just down vote.
How ever does a Wookie use a tablet?
At least they have the balls to do something about their BS government. We can probably send Kerry over and smooth everything over, tho.
Does this scenario seem similar to:
La Raza attacking the government by killing Congressman Stockman?
People finally starting to act? Awesome. Now shut those SNAP cards off and let's get this party started.
Coming soon across the developed world. Peak corruption always ends in violence. Same as it ever was.
slow down, shutting down the snap cards is a bit drastic. I have a few more items to collect before you go igniting an all out war in the suburbs. Maybe start with shutting down the Obama Phones and then after the ghettos have cleansed the riff-raff you can go after the "middle class" by shutting down SNAP.
and that is the reason turkey decided to turn off internet (by blackout) ?
Looks like power is off in the whole country, not just intertubes.
Gonna get stinky real quick.
No power means no heat.
No heat means they have to go......Cold Turkey.
Those Turks don't mess around. I too, was going to ask if they were in the Carney guy's rec room.
Look Reggie! Those posters are classics! I must call the PM and get some of them!
Karma's a Beyotch !
They might as well kill him. They're dead men walking anyway.
Starting to feel like the 1970's.
I've been feeling that way since about 2011.
I'm gonna play Frampton Comes Alive on my 8 track tape player
Great album.
Reminds me of Munich, my step father was watching the news on the Heathkit color TV he had built on our dinning room table. As I passed through the room I heard something about Guirillas with guns holding people hostage and couldn't figure out how a freaking monkey could learn to carry a gun?
A marxist group has taken this country hostage.
not enough green arrows^^^
Are you sure it is not the Revolutionary People's Liberation Party-Front of Judea (PFJ)?
No it's Judea's People's Revolutionary Front.
Are you sure it is not the Revolutionary People's Liberation Party-Front of Judea (PFJ)?
That name was taken. Now they are called the New Revolutionary People's Liberation Party
That is best way to handle corruption
Um am I missing something here? Why the hell would they hold the prosecutor hostage? Where's the logic in threatening to kill the guy trying to correct an injustice? Maybe I need another coffee....Wtf.
Probably for similar reasons as how some of the Grand Juries have worked here when cops are on the wrong side of the bench.
Turkey is like fucking Wild Wild West. It must be insane living there. Massive unrest, ISIS riding trains with automatic weapons, power outages, radical Marxist kidnappers and an autocratic nutcase power grabbing and that declares war on Twitter.
is it worse than Chicago? Surely it isn't worse than Detroit
and then there was this, from a tweet
The Geopolitics behind the War in Yemen (I) Take a look for yourself, http://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2015/03/30/the-geopolitics-behind-...
He's gonna ruin his suit if that gun goes off.
Marxists taking you hostage? Isn't this like being gored by dinosaur?
Carbon credits is a system of being Gored?
"A banned Marxist revolutionary group"
I can't help but suspect this has more to do with the power struggle created by the Islamification of Turkey and the people rising to fight for things like a free press, freedom of association and expression. These don't sound like the goals of a Marxist group. When the protest in Turkey began in Gezi Park Erdogan claimed they were just a bunch of LOOTERS. Now they're Marxists?
When I look at that picture, I know the dude with the pistol is a complete amateur. He has no training. His group is going to get slaughtered.
if he were to fire, he'd shoot his own forearm.
It's that three dimensional thinking that I appreciate the most.
He's well dressed for a terrorist.
Karl Marx, Lenin and Stalin would be proud of these developments.
Rote armee fraktion? Operation gladio? Turkey wants to join AIIB?
why does this pic look fake as hell? If I am a "Marxist"...i wouldn't be wearing a swank fucking suit and holding a gun like that. Unless of course I was untrained and well...stoopid.
If you want to gain access to a courthouse, you dress like a lawyer. Still, they could have worn reversable suits - you know, with camo on the inside. Very important that camo, if you want to be taken seriously.
Workers of the world... unite !
They have Jews in Turkey? Is that a beanie on this guys head?
Yep, the Jews worked as purchasers/financiers/agents for the Ottomans (who were Slavic/Turk, not strictly Turkic as is often assumed)
So.... a prosecutor investigates a deadly incident at an anti-corruption (turned anti-government, meaning anti-Erdogan) rally. He doesn't seem to stop even after the boy dies, Erdogan goes from Prime Minister to President (in the future maybe even Sultan), and the park gets bulldozed over.
Then suddenly a wild "Marxist group" appears. In broad daylight. At his workplace (which, I assume, is under quite good protection). They take time for an photo shoot...
Even if this was a movie script i would not buy it.
Looks like the other guy ran out of $$$! Substitute any taxpayer for the slob sitting in the chair!
They must have canceled their Turkish EBT cards......and outlawed sodomy with little boys. I can't think of anything else that would arouse leftists enough to make them leave their pot hoards and bung pipes in their mother's basements and go out and start kidnapping people for ransom.
Obama, left-wing Chigago, community organizer and Bibi Nutteryahoo, butcher of Gazan Palestinians, are in bed together. Oye vey !
"Revolutionary People's Liberation Party-Front (DHKP-C) took the prosecutor hostage..."
There's a joke in there somewhere, I just know it.
so do they want to return Istanbul's name to Constantinople or what?
Israhell needs to weaken and destabilize it's neighbours in the Middle East... Lebanon, Libya, Syria, Irak and especially Iran. At the same time, the ZioNazis want Russia to self-destruct !
So? Is there something wrong with that? Am I missing something?
Watch Palestine disappear off the world map ! The UN International Criminal Court has been emasculated. The ZioNazis can do no wrong 1
It sounds like leftist American Demoncraps have invaded Turkey.
Turkey is falling apart as we watch. At one point they were doing pretty good but the evil doers have taken over and they are back sliding into the third world nation they used to be.
The aide said that guys like me were “in what we call the reality-based community,” which he defined as people who “believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality.” … “That’s not the way the world really works anymore,” he continued. “We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors…and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.”
Turkey has gone rogue lately by playing footsie with Russia - Turk Stream gas pipeline, Eurasian Economic Group ties, telling the EU that Turkey will no longer jump through hoops attempting to get membership in the EU, and not going along with everything NATO headquarters (in Brussels and Washington) tells all NATO members to do.
It was only a matter of time before Turkey suffered some catastrophic upheavals to force Erdogan back into line with the West. Taking down the power grid is a good first step.
Marxist revolutionary group takes hostages, demands government reform? WTF? This sounds soooo lame, right out of the CIA 1970s playbook.
Well that was fucking convenient. Who in their right mind would take a lawyer as a hostage anyway? You'd just end up with an extra handgrenade flying through your window.
Gladio.
Once more I have to listen, what news Sibile Edmonds will report, what is she going to filter from her turkish sources.
Straight out of a Gladio Operation handbook. Useful idiots with an 'ideology' play into the hands of a megalomaniac despot who thinks he is Suleman and who wants to restore the Ottoman Empire.
