Turkey’s effort to impose a wholesale purge on broad swathes of their society after the Friday coup attempt has shifted to the education system, with a significant chunk of the Turks employed in education finding themselves sacked or their licenses revoked.
Some 21,000 teachers working at private schools around the country have lost their licenses, with the Educaiton Ministry claiming they’d gotten “tip-offs” that the teachers were “linked with terrorist activities,” leading to the move.
Early morning reports that some 1,350 university deans had been sacked were later revised upwards to “all,” as the Education Ministry decided that every single dean at every single university, public or private, had to go.
Officials claimed an ongoing investigation alleging that employees of schools around the country had “links” to the Gulen Movement, though it hardly seems possible that it could be every single person at every single school. That is adding to concerns of dramatic overreach by Turkey as the purge continues to grow.
We are witnessing a madman at work, are we not?
It’s time for revolution!
That’s “paranoid” madman.
Do not rely on neocon news. Also by all means find out as much as you can about Fethullah Gulen. Ask about his schools, associations of prosecutors, judges etc. Then ask yourself why this person with unknown hundreds of billions is also involved in running over one hundred charter schools in US. Making profit off our poorest and most neglected privatized public schools. In order to finance structures of Turkish society that would accomplish regime change after the legally elected government is toppled by force. His prosecurors, his judges, his police, his universities and his media — at the ready to legalize a quick and dirty coup. To make the sordid affair fragrant.
It is amazing to see how deeply the interventionist and empire craving urges have taken roots in our society. It seems almost natural for people to talk about ofher countries and lands as if they are ours to reorder. And if they refuse -/ their leaders are mad and the new edition if Hitler. But we are paying heavy price for it. In money and in our reputation around the world. And if people around the world have a bad opinion of us — neocons are even happier. There will be a growing number of enemies — and more happy eaw profiteers. Thousands upon thousands of “non-governmental organizations that we fund — and make one percent richer. We need to pull ourselves together and reject any suggestions of “madmen” in this world. Turkey is for Turkish prople and leaders they elect. Those leaders they defended with their bodies against tanks. May be they know what we are deliberatelly not informed off.
