"60 Minutes" to Air Report on Turkish Charter School Cleric Tied to Bob Filner
JohntheGooseHunter; Dear John/Jason/Gitano; And it is equally very easy to spot a brainwashed cult member. Let me point out how your argument lacks logic: You state General Cetin Dogan is a passionate hater of anyone who is remotely religious...even though Dogan (a muslim by birth) has a Yahudi (Jewish) son-in-law Professor Dani Rodrik who is very highly regarded in Economics at Harvard and elsewhere. Your fantasy of creating the boogie man or "Ergenekon", "Sledgehammer" or "sou sou louk" scandals is not overshadowing the fact there is problems in Turkey. Now you have attempted to bring your problems worldwide and into America, with your schools and "moving into the arteries of the system until you reach all power centers" as your Hocaefendi has instructed you. Gotta hand it to the Imam's Ordusu you take your marching orders seriously. The Gulencis inflitration of Education, Media, Politics, Police, Judicary System and now sadly the Military is drawing to a close. While the wizard Fetos hides behind the curtain in his exiled bunker in the Poconos, PA. Lets not play games about how your only goals are to teach love, tolerance and acceptance. Because if that were the case you would admit openly and proudly that the operators of the charter schools are without a doubt part of the Gulen Movement. Furthermore your cult has nothing to do with religion but everything to do with creating a neo Ottoman Empire where the "Golden Generation" of Gulen will rule. It is about old fashion GREED disguised as good will. The only problem is "no one is buying it" Your lack of transparency and honesty has caused you to lose over 100 charter school expansions, renewals and applications. Remember Fulton Science Academy? Mokapu STEM School, Abramson Science Technology, Knoxville Charter Academy --just to name a few. The battle continues, 9 months after this article was written, average Americans are winning against you and have spoken. What Americans are saying is "We don't want you" Remember Loudoun County, Virginia, Lancaster county (Pennsylvania) in Fetos backyard where you will now be denied for a 3rd time, not to mention Alabama, Mississippi and Maine rejected you all together. Additionally the embarassment in Idaho after your Pacifica Institute hosted a State Senate Turkish Friendship luncheon at the State Rotunda. Hopefully Filner won't end up leaving office in shame as your puppet in Idaho Senator John McGee. Better luck next time Johnny Boy. See you at the next board meeting with 100 more Americans willing to fight you and your cult. Till then keep trying to convince yourself that Gulen is about all the good in the world and that we must be crazy to not accept this. Till you and your cult can accept that Americans want truth not fodder, we remain diligent Goose Ordusu.— February 24, 2013 10:40 p.m.
