Turkish Conspiracy




From Tzedek-Tzedek's Man in Ankara

An arsenal in Turkey exploded this week, killing 25 soldiers.

Whereas the Turkish Foreign Ministry announced it was an accident, people I spoke with reckoned it was a terror attack. 

Army officials were quoted as agreeing with the folks on the street.

“Of course the Foreign Ministry would claim it was an accident,” I was told. “The whole Government is trying to understate the scale of the terror war Turkey is fighting, and losing.”

Apparently there were two distinct explosions – caused by a renegade soldier throwing hand grenades.

How anyone on the street would know what happened in a vast explosion that left no survivors, nor even recognisable corpses, I have no idea. But Turks naturally suspect conspiracy, round every and any corner.

The Turks are hosting 80,000 Syrian refugees. A truly humanitarian act. Right?

Wrong.

According to many Turks, including parliamentarians, these are not refugee camps at all.

They are actually training camps for the Turkish military to train & arm Syrian rebel militants.

Sounds far-fetched?

Well, consider the following compelling proof:
  1. Have you ever heard of a country inviting refugees to flood over an international border? A priori? Please come on over! Make yourselves at home!
  2. Why are the press kept out of these camps?
  3. Why are the residents forbidden to communicate with the outside world?
  4. Why are even Turkish MP's forbidden to visit the camps?
  5. What, oh what, is going on there?
  6. A militant training ground! Surely, right?
On the plane to Istanbul, I met a Alevi woman. The Alevi are a Muslim sect, who reportedly makeup 15% of Turkey's population, and are spread throughout the Middle East. In Turkey they are avowedly secular, democratic, liberal.

She told me that she hates Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan – who is out to destroy the Alevi. Another acquaintance had told me that the Alevi are in Erdogan's sights, and he is stirring hatred amongst the majority Sunni against the Alevi

“What has Erdogan done against the Alevi?” I asked.

“Well, he is very friendly and charming to the Alevi – he says all the right things. But he only does this to stab them in the back.” No specific example of how Erdogan had stabbed the Alevi in the back was available at press time.

People have often told me, in hushed, secretive tones, about the Sabbatians who really run Turkey. These are the remnants of Shabbatai Tzvi's messianic movement, who apparently still exist in Turkey - indeed, if truth be known, the Sabbateans are the ultimate power controlling Turkey's democratically elected puppets.

Others point at Uncle Sam as pulling the strings of power for cynical purposes. I was told this week that the Americans arranged the Arab Spring, and the bloody civil war in Syria, in order to promote sales of US armaments.  
Alleged conspiracies abound in Turkey, and even (especially?) at the highest levels.

Recep Erdogan has presided over the arrest and imprisonment of 367 army officers. Not mere officers – they included the ex-heads of the Army, Air Force and Navy.

They are facing charges of...conspiring.

Not just one devious plot, but several. At least three separate plots to overthrow the Government.

I am not suggesting that Turks are paranoid. Or at least, I am not suggesting they are paranoid without good cause.

There have indeed been three coups by the (secular stronghold) Army taking over the elected Government during Turkey's recent history.

Enough to put the creeps up an Islamic Turkish Prime Minister.

All this conspiring, and speculating about conspiracies has an Israeli angle.

I was warned that we Israelis should expect a bombardment of anti-Israeli rhetoric, and possibly worse, from Erdogan, as the date of the 2013 Turkish Local Elections gets closer.

What's the connection between electing mayors and city councils in Turkey, with Israel?

“Erdogan loves to stir up the masses by spewing hate of Israel”, I was told. “And the masses love to hear it.”

Indeed, headlines while I was in Ankara included - between the 25 dead soldiers at the exploding arsenal, over 50 refugees drowning of the Turkish coast, and ten soldiers killed by terrorists in a shooting attack - the scandal of Beersheva.

Beersheva?!

Yes, perhaps you missed the story. 

But the Turks didn't.

Apparently there was a beer festival in a (disused) mosque in Beersheva.

Sort of the equivalent outrageous act of provocation and insult against Islam as the Muhammad Cartoons, as far as Turkish TV was concerned...

So, be on the look out for more exposures of Zionist Conspiracies coming out of Turkey.

I must add that, as in my previous visits to Turkey, all the Turks I met with were very friendly and hospitable to me – kipa, Israeli passport and all.

Maybe they all assumed I must surely have been a secular liberal Muslim, thinly disguised as a religious zionist?

Why IS That Man Taking Such An Interest In My Child??

[Introductory Note: There have been several cases in Bet Shemesh/RBS in recent weeks of charismatic men who have a Pied Piper influence over kids, some of whom they allegedly have molested. The kids' parents were aware of the 'specialness' of the relationship, even the peculiarity, but were not aware of the risks. I offer this article as guidance to help parents become more aware of the potential downside of these relationships. I have used males, but whereas most pedophiles are male, their child victims can be equally likely girls or boys.]   ------- If you reminisce back to your school days,   you can probably think of a specific adult who had a profound influence on you and helped you overcome your growing-up challenges.  There are some particularly gifted and wonderful people who are able to bridge an age gap, and thereby positively engage with someone who is even many years their junior. Such people can apply this talent to working with kids and youth in a profe

Marrying a Soloveitchik

Image
Mazaltov! My nephew, Gedaliah Kestenbaum married Devori Soloveitchik in Jerusalem last week. Gedaliah has married into rabbinical aristocracy .    Devori is the daughter of  Rabbi Yitzchak Zev Soloveitchik, and the grand-daughter of Rabbi  Meshulam Dovid (Reb Dovid) Soloveitchik , who is Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshivat Brisk (one of the two) in Jerusalem . The Soloveitchik's are a rabbinical dynasty descended from Rabbi  Yosef Dov (HaLevi) Soloveitchik (The "Beis Halevi") and his son Rabbi  Chaim Soloveitchik ("Reb Chaim Brisker"). Rav Chaim's sons Rabbi  Yitzchak Zev (Reb Velvel) Soloveitchik ("The GRIZ" The Brisker Rov) and Rabbi  Moshe Soloveitchik seem to have gone in different hashkafik directions. Whereas Reb Velvel's descendents are predominantly right wing hareidim, Rav Moshe's branch are leaders in the Modern Orthodox/National Religious hashkafa – most notably Rav Joseph Ber Soloveitchik ("The Rav")

Hoax Letter Sent to Synagogue

Image
            (Beis Tefillah Synagogue, Ramat Beit Shemesh) The following hoax letter has been sent to members of the Beis Tefillah Synagogue board of management, as if it was written by Rabbi CM [ed. name respectfully withheld] who serves as their rabbi: I think that as long as David Morris sets policy for L.A [ed. Lema'an Achai ], and is their public face,  I will not allow L.A. to use the Shul for fundraising purposes. This will change if: 1)David M apologizes publicly for stating,and insinuating again and again(in many forums,but especially in his childish Tzedek Tzedek blog) that , as a group ,  "Rabbis" (of RBSA ) are guilty of aiding and abetting and enabling child molesters.(And that of course that leaves LA to come to the rescue of our children.) OR IF  2)LA  publicly , clearly,and unambiguously disavows such statements .They must say--we clearly,and unambiguously ,disavow  statements or blogs which say or imply that  Rabbis  of RBSA (as a group ) aid or a
