In
Turkey if you tweet to complain about an investigation of Erdogan's corruption being
dropped
You
will have police pounding on your door, demanding you stop
Even
if you are a well known journalist member of Turkey’s press
So
much for the idea that Turkey’s NATO membership would Erdogan’s corruption
suppress
Erdogan
has in essence declared a war on social media, a war on Twitter
Being
accused of corruption will make a corrupt president very bitter
Especially
when tweets include calls from him to his son to hide millions of dollars
Corruption
101 is pretty basic—if you want to get away with it you must the free press
collar
What
is going on in Turkey has a familiar déjà vu ring and lessons not learned
Billions
of U.S. economic and military aid to Turkey with little save in Korean War a
decent return
Erdogan
is trying move Turkey away from Ataturk’s secular education goals
Seeking
under the euphemism "pious generation" to Islamatize education’s soul
When
ISIS was pounding Kobani on Turkey’s border putting Kurds in panic stricken
flight
While
its military aid tanks stood passive and may have deterred Turkish Kurds from
entering the fight
Let
us hope we do not wake up one day with another blindside unforeseen
In
Turkey another Sharia theocracy ruling the political scene.
