MESOPOTAMIA NEWS SECRETS : THE MAFIA STATE TURKEY / A detailed Anatomy / SEDAT PETER, HAKAN FIDAN et.al.
Quiet, Coup in Progress — Part 2 – / 31. May 2021
In Part 1 we established that mob boss Sedat Peker’s attacks on Youtube have been targeting two members of Turkey’s siloviki that are close to fascist party boss and Tayyip’s coalition partner Devlet Bahçeli, as well as Tayyip’s close family and his loyal interior minister. These are four of the main pillars of Tayyip’s islamofascist police state: Serhat Albayrak is the mass media propaganda pillar and Soylu, Çakici, and Agar are the repression, terror, and extortion pillars. We might add a fifth, as Soylu also supplies a good deal of the regime’s mass surveillance.

However, two of the regime’s heavyweights, Hakan Fidan the spy chief and Hulusi Akar the chief of the military, are absent from the picture, as we noted in the previous part. We also observed that whatever his self-professed panturanist superpowers may be, Peker could not have foiled all of the hit teams sent after him, skipping at least four countries with his passport canceled and no money in his pocket, without the help of a party or parties at least as powerful as Turkish interior minister Soylu, his mafia associate Çakici, and Tayyip’s cohorts of spies in the Turkish representations, Turkish-run mosques, and NGOs throughout the world.
Spy chief Hakan Fidan and army chief Hulusi Akar, both with military backgrounds, have an exceptionally good relationship in the generally fractious Tayyip regime.
The behavior of these two powerful siloviki during the 2016 coup attempt indicated strongly, especially in the case of Akar, that they were with the putschists, and that they switched sides at the last minute, perhaps to fight another day. In the days when Tayyip was Obama’s “strategic partner” for redesigning the Middle East, both Akar and Fidan were full integrated NATO functionaries. Akar already had many NATO assignments under his belt, including the command of the NATO Rapid Deployable Force in Turkey. Fidan in his days as a noncommissioned officer had been assigned to the NATO Rapid Deployable Force HQ in Germany. Considering the major role of NATO assets in the coup — the refueling tankers from Incirlik, the Rapid Deployment Force in Istanbul — it’s inconceivable that NATO and therefore these two were not in the know beforehand.

Tayyip did not allow either of the two to be investigated for their role in the coup and has likely blackmailed them into obedience with the files he has on them. Fidan wanted to resign his post to enter parliament (and be shielded by parliamentary immunity from any scrutiny for MIT’s crimes in Syria). Tayyip would not let him.
A successful coup in a third-tier country like Turkey requires the support of a first-tier power, even if the primary motivation of the plotters is to free themselves of the dictator’s hold over them. Fidan and Akar’s NATO past suggests that power may be the US and not, as one might imagine from Turkey’s recent drift eastwards, Russia. There is another very important indication that this might be the case.

The July 15 coup occurred when it did because the plotters had gotten wind that they were going to be purged in the coming Supreme Military Council session, which traditionally takes place in the 3rd week of July. A purge is already underway in the navy after a number of retired admirals signed a letter calling Tayyip to respect the Montreux Convention on the Turkish Straits, which he had given signs of trying to bypass with his “crazy canal” project in Istanbul. These admirals represented the “Eurasianist wing” in the military that advocates for an alliance between Turkey and Russia. A violation of Montreux that would allow unlimited numbers and types of NATO ships to enter the Black Sea would of course threaten Russia and harm Turco-Russian relations.
The Supreme Military Council this July is expected to purge 1000s of Eurasianist officers from the ranks, effectively stamping out that movement for good. Akar and Fidan want to leverage this westward axis shift to their advantage in order to neutralize the Islamist, pro-Hamas, and pro-Iran tendencies within the Tayyip regime as well to set Turkey firmly back on a westward course without Tayyip’s chronic flipflops.
What are the coup’s chances of success? The Biden administration’s continued shunning and sanctioning of the Turkish dictator and the recent story in the US semiofficial propaganda organ the New York Times that suggests that he is on his way out indicate that the US would be supportive of regime-change in Turkey, as it has been so many times in the past, including during Tayyip’s tenure. With the misery he has brought on his people and opinion polls reflecting their discontent, Tayyip is unlikely to find any followers ready to throw themselves in front of tanks this time.
