Turkish Hurryiet Daily Possibly Targeted In "Armed Attack"
Back on September 7, pro-AKP supporters hurled rocks at Hurriyet’s Istanbul headquarters in a display the newspaper’s editor-in-chief called “a black page in Turkey’s democratic history.
He probably should have called it “another” black page in Turkey’s democratic history because as regular readers are no doubt aware, President Tayyip Erdogan has made a habit of curtailing press freedom, stifling free speech, and instilling terror into the masses both figuratively and literally.
“About 100 people hurled stones at the main Istanbul offices of Hurriyet, a secularist newspaper critical of the Islamist-rooted government, in the second such assault in 48 hours,” FT reported at the time, adding that “the newspaper’s Ankara printing press also came under attack.”
That came in the lead up to the November redo election Erdogan orchestrated after AKP lost its parliamentary absolute majority in June and some suspected the government of encouraging the attacks as well as the firebombing of HDP offices that occurred just a day later.
On Saturday, Hurriyet was attacked again, this time by “armed” assailants.
“Unknown perpetrators have carried out an armed attack on the building of the Hürriyet daily, one of Turkey’s major newspapers, in Ankara, according to reports,” RT reports. “The attack was reported to have emanated from a passing vehicle the Cumhuriyet says.

Shattered glass on the second, third, fourth, and fifth floors could be the result of a structural flaw but authorities are investigating the possibility that the building was the target of what sounds like a drive by shooting or an explosion.
From Hurryiet (translated):
In Ankara, Eskisehir road in the locality and Sö?ütözü Hürriyet Ankara Bureau also home to seven of the Do?an Media Center exploded today at 5:07 p.m. of the outer panels of glass on the side of the building facing the road. Ankara Police Department officials that continued investigation into the incident that took place in the Freedom House, said not encountered any ballistic evidence in the investigation carried out so far.
"At this stage we can only say in front of the building matters is that burst of seven glass panels on different floors. In respect of the explosion were caused not have any information yet finalized. Is it from that outside interference, is a structural situation in the building caused, it will emerge with the crime scene investigation report. I met with the Ankara Police Chief. Ballistic examination of the building is done and the camera records examined. We expect the report to be prepared. It would not be right to make comments before the report. "
In the past there had been cases where some panels in the building explode spontaneously.
"Spontaneous combustion" or yet more government-sponsored terror on secular journalism? You decide.

Turkish Government is cracking down as control slips from its grasp. Is anyone surprised by Erdogan moving this way. He has bet it all and things are not looking good for him or his family.
Erdogan will just move his family, his whores and his art collection to Switzerland. He will be safe there, the Swiss aren't accepting any jihadist refugees.
I thinking Mark Zuckerberg's home first.
Erdogan is an openly proclaimed Islamist who has been steadily dismantling Turkeys secular government for years. Given the Obama administration's steadfast commitment to destroying secular governments in the Middle East, I'm quite confident that Erdogan will continue to prosper, despite-- or perhaps, because of-- continuing anti-secularist violence.
everyone is wecome in switzerland
rapists, muslims, jewish criminals, gays that are homosexual, gays that are not homosexual, kolomoiskys children and stolen ferraris are all welcomed there
swiss natives are no longer welcome in switzerland. its always the promblem with this natives
Couldn't be less true.
And they will surely accept all that gold he loads on his plane.
This was ZATO's plan all along. The timing was always open-ended, but 'regime change' in Turkey and splitting the country into non-threatening pieces was always part of the plan. Turkey can't be attacked because it's in NATO, but there's no reason the CIA can't send in the Xe/Academi snipers to get the party started on a civil war.
The U.S. and Israel have conceded that their latest takfiri creation - ISIS - has served its purpose and they can let it be liquidated (along with their supply depot: Turkey). "Clean-up on aisle four - bring a mop..." They already have their next fake al-Qaeda inspired terrorist group lined up. Rita Katz probably already has a few beheading videos for them in the can. Chinese sweatshops are cranking out the new, scary flags 24x7 for their big debut. I hope the CIA thinks up a better name this time - the acronym thing didn't have that old-school terrorist feelz.
It's time to bust apart Turkey from within, and ZATO couldn't be more delighted with neo-fascist Erdogan stumbling around like a drunk in front of the Russian freight train. Next up for Team Chaos: agitate for a fake Israeli suburb of Kurdistan to secure the oil fields and pipelines and take a chunk of Turkey in the process. Mob boss and king for life Kurdish ex-president Barzani and his evil clan have been groomed for this takeover for years by the CIA and Mossad. The southwest portion of Turkey WILL be carved off and given to Barzani. Erdogan is a dimwit to think that the U.S. and Israel wouldn't stab him in the back. "Hey guys... Wut up? I thought we were friends?"
Barzani is the right psychopath for the job. In case anyone hasn't noticed, he acts like he is still Kurdish president (he's not - his term expired a year ago) and he treats Kurdistan as an independent nation (and his mafia clan's personal posession), not Iraqi soverign territory that a million Iraqis and ten thousand Americans died for. The average Kurd has nothing to say about the new, fake Kurdistan. Barzani has already branded anyone else supporting any non-Barzani Kurdistan as a terrorist. Barzani turned the once-honorable Peshmerga into his personal lowlife Stazi for protection of his future state. Fuck the Kurds. Barzani has already called the average Kurd farmers and workers militia - the YPG - terrorists. All Kurds will worship him and his fake Kurdish state (and no other).
Someone needs to let Toyota know that Barzani is going to need another fleet of HiLuxes for his war of Kurdish independence in Turkey. Those ISIS guys don't take care of anything. The HiLuxes the Barzani clan traded to them for oil are falling apart, and they probably never took care of the air bag recall. Fucking takfiris - failure to perform regular preventative maintenance on Barzani HiLuxes should be punishable by beheading. Bright side: Turkish civil war will relieve some of Toyota's channel-stuffing. There are acres of those things gathering dust in a desert somewhere.
If what you say is true then it seems like Putin is making the mistake of fighting the tentacles of the octopus instead of the head?
Taking care of the head would require Topol-Ms and/or forced regime change in the U.S.
Since Putin seems to be the only adult in the room, I think he's trying to avoid either tactic for the time being. He'll settle for a bitch-slapped seven-armed octopus for now in the hopes it will keep the remainder of it's filthy, suckered parasitic fake-terrorist tentacles off the rest of the world. At least until the disease-infested spineless creature finally dissolves into a pile of it's own putrid goo. Funny - I can still remember back when American was always suppose to be the good guy, not the scheming asshole and the fascist terrorist-sponsoring state it has now become. Probably the company it keeps, but I won't mention names.
Still, you never know when an injured octopus will go full-retard. I see Putin still drags around the Topol-M launch codes briefcase.
[Edit: In my previous post, that should have been the southEAST portion of Turkey, right above Iraq, carved off. That's the region where the Kurdish population of Turkey lives.]
What is the downside? Seems scripted pretty good...
Bombing the muzzies plays well for public consumption, the people have jobs building bombs, the military fire off their shiny rods, financiers become more rich and powerful, all the big players wink to themselves at the poker table. Fist-bump bitches...
"This is my last election. After my election I have more flexibility." (puppet said to puppet)
(Where can I get a picture of a octopus with it tentacles up the asses of the major puppets sitting at a poker table?)

Whatever Turkey is doing -- be it invading other nations or downing "enemy" aircraft -- it is at the behest of the USA. Anything Turkey does is decided at the Pentagram, Foggy Bottom and Langley. To better comprehend world news, wherever ones sees the name of a "western" country -- say Israel, Turkey, France or Australia, Germany etc etc -- just substitute that name with the United States and you will start to understand. It all flows down to the same source.
Did China build the building?
Far different from over here where our media throws their "bombs" at us. BTW if a well-armed cult, religious or otherwise, was overtly threatening the destruction of the United States our government would have dispensed with them long ago. Begs the question....why not these radical Islamists?
Well, now you know why the marxists in Brussels, are so eager to send millions of Euro`s to Turkey, for importation of a million stormtroopers....IE...refugees.....Erdogans idea of democracy, is just what the doctor ordered, in an European Union, that might have a few dissenters to centralized command and control.....
You think that there might be some reason that 90% of the refugees are young men of military age?......
More than 500 jihadists cared for at the Ziv Medical Centre in N. Israel....

Al-Qaeda jihadists, AKA al Nusra. That's important because the final steps for Israel to steal more Syrian and Lebanese land called for some reason to kick the U.N. land-theft guards out of the UNDOF zone. Israel hired al Nusra as mercs to make that happen. Bonus: al Nusra was also able to take over several hundred square miles more of Syrian territory on the other side of the fake Golan border, so they have 'reserved' additional land for Israel's thievery.
Eventually, Israel will declare al Nusra a dangerous threat and either send the IDF in to take over that territory, or order their little bitches in the U.S. congress to do it for them. This will push the new fake Israeli border a few more miles into Syria - just enough to take over the nearby Syrian reservoirs - to be pumped into Israel, of course. It will also give Israel the string of defensive hills Syria previously used for air defense and surveillance. Israel can then set up their own missile bases and surveillance stuff to keep an eye on whatever puppet government they arrange in Damascus.
Al Nusra get's nothing. They will be wiped out when Israel decides to claim that Syrian land for itself. Al Nusra were just disposable temps, providing an excuse for the planned land theft. Israel will demand the U.S. push for U.N. recognition and approval of Israeli's illegal annexation of the Golan, and the U.N. will bless the theft as legal by international law. The Syrian citizens living on that land don't get to vote on it - Israel and the U.N. will decide for them.
I always called the Southern Front al Nusra fake because I can't believe they would be so stupid to be used by Israel. The al Nusra leaders are fake - Mossad and CIA plants to keep the riff-raff in line and secure Israel's future land. Those leaders will be sent off to foreign lands with bags of cash when it's time for the purge. The common head-chopper foot-soldier are clueless - they will simply be slaughtered when the time comes. I won't be shedding any tears for them.
When Israel gave Cheney-linked US company Genie oil rights in the Golan, Israel wanted an extra 5kms of buffer zone.into Syria. Syria said no. Now look at the place.
"Genie Oil and Gas has some high profile investors and advisors: Media baron Rupert Murdoch, former US Vice President Dick Cheney, American hedge fund manager Michael Steinhardt and British investment banker Jacob Rothschild are all members of the company’s “Strategic Advisory Board.”"
Spot on and your thinking is extremely lucid. Got your own blog?
Thanks Andrew, but no. I parrot what has already been said perfectly well by many others. Here's what my blog of my own original ideas would sound like.
All land has been stolen .... many times .... and the biggest land thieves in the middle east .... are Muslim .... the least successful land thieves are the Joos .... it's kind of black and white ?
There are a million good reasons .... good PR, free guninea pigs for war trauma research, Assad could have made nice to Israel, winning hearts and minds, being nice to people tends to make them grateful, etc. etc. .... and of course there are cynical reasons, strategic reasons, the enemy of your enemy, the enema of your enema, debriefing, torture possibilities, denying pain medication for uncooperative patients .... Israel is a complex society of good, intelligent people fighting for their survival against Herculean odds .... they are proceeding on various fronts .... and they have my respect and support .... you won't see ISIS doctors saving Christian lives .... so, Hannibal .... what makes you tick ?
Dear Erdogan, the world will be a better place without you.
People think the first aim of war is to seize land. That's not true. The first aim is to kill journalists, get control of the media, and thereby control the thoughts and bodies of the rest. After that, take the material resources; material things.
The communications outlets are the first target. Ask any high ranking commander, and he will tell you that happens, always.
I despise modern career politicians beholden to the money power, as they kill more journalists in the 21st century.

Nazionists and their hateful City of London would kill all the world for their money, and hubris. They hate journalists especially.
Their love of money is defied by good journalists who seek facts, not money alone.
Speak truth to power. Question. Defy if the answers are lies.
