The teachers unions are fit to be tied over charter schools and Gulen's movement is literally raking in cash from these ventures. Just because they're non-profits does not mean they cannot facilitate the moving around of money and funding of other projects. The Non-Profit world of which the institutional Church is a part is all too often something of a racket and deception.
Gulen's movement is working to undermine Erdogan's AKP. His
movement owns and operates television stations, newspapers, at least one bank, has
infiltrated the government and is involved in Pan-Turkic politics across
Central Asia.
In the United States, Gulen's movement runs over one hundred
charter schools and this has earned the ire of the teachers unions. Their own
powerful group is making a lot of noise about this and that's probably why it
has made it into USA Today. It should be a massive story but it largely being
ignored.
Gulen's movement is also involved in US politics. They have
paid for almost half of the congress to take trips, many to places like
Azerbaijan, another Turkic US-allied state involved in regional anti-Russian
and energy geopolitics. He's also giving money to US political campaigns.
This is a classic case of a CIA-type project with its
tentacles spread out into a hundred areas. They are generating income to fund
their off-book projects. They have mechanisms in place to launder and transfer
money around from Wall Street to Istanbul to Baku and Tashkent. There is an
ideology at work and a shadowy infrastructure to support it that represents a
threat to Ankara, Moscow and Beijing. From the Tatars in Ukraine and Crimea to
the Tatars in Russia, to the various Turkic peoples in Central Asia and the
Uighurs in China, Gulen's movement has an appeal and the ability to exert influence.
Lobbying congress insures a voice in the shaping of policy
and support for the movement. Would the CIA or other like organisations work
through a proxy instead of dealing directly with congress itself?
I think it would be preferred. The less light shone on
Langley, the White House and their Wall Street allies, the better.
The Gulen Movement is just the doorway into a larger
geopolitical struggle that actually is much bigger than Turkey. There are
truths revealed that are much stranger than fiction but only a small portion of
the US population is paying attention. And of that tiny percentage many are all
too happy to profit from the arrangement.
Of course if Gulen was located in another context he'd be
called out as a dangerous Islamic extremist and an enemy to be targeted. But
with regard to US policy vis-à-vis Erdogan's AKP, Gulen is considered an ally
and friend, even an asset.
Once again the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) is
revealed to be little more than a tool that's used by the Establishment when
convenient. It's a joke.
The Mainstream Corporate Media's job is not to report the
news, but to entertain and protect the system. Sometimes stories slip through
the cracks. There are conflicting interests. There is no grand puppet master
organization controlling all events, rather a series of overlapping interests
and sectors that agree in many ways, but not all. The Internet is presenting a
serious challenge to the status quo and the powers that be fear it. It's
getting harder for them to hide what they're doing.
They (the various heads of the hydra) long to return to the
old days, when a simple phone call from the State Department could have ended
USA Today's running of these stories and yet ironically many Christians I know
seem to prefer the era of censorship, propaganda and state power. And yet they
don't quite realize what they're saying or its ramifications. They think the
answer is a new inquisition. They may get their wish.
