With the Halkbank, Reza Zarrab, Epstein and Venezuela-Turkey cocaine trafficking cases respectively, the US is blackmailing Erdogan

Regarding President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s relationship with the Trump administration and the White House’s blackmail against the President of Turkey, due to specific involvements of him and his family in scandals related to the Halkbank, Reza Zarrab, Epstein cases and a powerful cocaine trafficking network that was known to Venezuelan President Maduro and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan respectively, are the reasons why the White House is trying to overthrow the President of Turkey.

The “messengers” of these blackmails against the President of Turkey were individuals close to Donald Trump Jr.’s inner circle. and Jared Kushner respectively, where they traveled to Istanbul for this purpose, where they allegedly had a private meeting with Erdogan and Hakan Fidan.

These individuals reported to President Erdogan about the voluminous content of the files mentioned in the above-mentioned cases.

More specifically, these files included the Halkbank case and Reza Zarrab, evidence of Turkey’s relationship with the Epstein files, as well as allegations of a cocaine trafficking network between Venezuela and Turkey.

These voluminous large files concern the President of Turkey, members of his family and members of the current government, and with which they are blackmailing him. One of the most important files is related to Halkbank and Reza Zarrab.

A second concerns the Epstein case and his connections to Turkey. In addition, there is another crucial file concerning the cocaine route between Maduro’s Venezuela and Turkey.

These data did not simply remain in archives, but were used as a means of political pressure. The purpose of which was to present them to Erdogan as “obligations” that had to be fulfilled: “They gave him these files and said: ‘This is your mission. If you do not comply, we will proceed to make them public.’”

The Trump administration’s flattery towards Erdogan is a veil that covers these obligations. These exceeded the limits of ordinary diplomatic courtesy and were linked to the fact that Erdogan allegedly responded to the demands of the American side.

What has happened to date is the result of Trump’s orders, which are being carried out one by one. Why, then, does President Trump constantly express such great gratitude to Erdogan? What exactly does he owe him?

The Halkbank case was used both as a means of pressure and as a negotiating tool. The slowing down or freezing of the case was associated with moves expected from Turkey.

Regarding the Venezuela-Turkey cocaine trafficking network, evidence suggests that Turkey had a transit role in the trafficking of heroin from Afghanistan in the past and that a cocaine network linked to Venezuela was subsequently added. This evidence was known to state mechanisms and international intelligence services.

Erdogan’s overthrow is predicted

As long as Turkish President Erdogan faithfully follows the White House’s instructions, he will remain in power. In the event that he is drawn into “revolutionary paths”, an attempt will be launched to replace him by any means possible. The “suitors” for his position will not come from his own party, but from powerful Kemalists from the main opposition Republican People’s Party, the party founded by Ataturk himself and which founded the new Turkish democracy on the principles of the secular state and “modernization”, who had entered into a previously unthinkable alliance with the movement of the “mullah”, “fundamentalist” and “terrorist” Fetulah Gulen.

The “sovereign” Kemalists and followers of Fetulah Gulen aim to bring Turkish power back under their control.

Gulen’s global “empire” is worth between 22 and $28 billion (William Engdal cites estimates from US government sources of $25 to $50 billion), and is the owner of the largest chain of private schools in the US, as well as the founder, “together with his CIA controllers”, of hundreds of mosques, schools and madrasas around the world, mainly in Central Asia and the Caucasus, with the aim of spreading an American-controlled Islamization and global destabilization, especially in the post-Soviet space from Central Asia to China.
(A quote from Gulen from 1997 is indicative: “Turkey… today includes 60 million people.
With the Turks of Central Asia, this reaches 120-130 million.
If he manages to break through the Great Wall of China and unite with the Turks there, this will be 300 million.)

Part of the Turkish military has been “reported” to the “CIA–Gulen” network for the past 25 years, along with a significant part of the Turkish police, judiciary and media.

It would therefore be naive to interpret Western criticism of Erdogan’s current – ​​and even earlier – efforts to “cleanse” state institutions of members or products of this network as “pro-democratic” or “pro-secular”, given that such a logic would require similarly intense and daily criticism of other Western allies, such as Saudi Arabia.

When Gulen fled to the US in 1999, the Turkish prosecutor’s office had requested a ten-year prison sentence for him, accusing him of “founding an organization with the aim of destroying the secular state apparatus and establishing a theocratic state.

The financial ties between Hillary Clinton and the Fetulah Gulen movement and its supporters, which in itself indicates how closely Gulen is connected to the aggressive globalizing project of Washington’s neoconservative and neoliberal circles.

Why does all this matter?

All these aforementioned scandal files reveal all the best-kept dark secrets related to the cooperation of American agencies, diplomats, state officials and politicians with international terrorists and criminals in activities such as money laundering, drug trafficking, selling nuclear secrets and more.

Turkey was not only the epicenter of Operation Gladio during the Cold War, but also the center of its evolution, “Gladio B”, when, in the mid-1990s, far-right and ultra-nationalist organizations were replaced by Islamist ones, such as Al Qaeda and the global network of Gulen.

The targets of Operation Gladio B were Central Asia, the Caucasus and the Balkans. It all started in the Balkans, when Ayman al-Zawahri, the real leader of Al Qaeda, was sent to Albania and then to Kosovo to reinforce NATO forces and contribute to the destabilization of Yugoslavia.

Since then, there have been real risks of criminal and terrorist networks infiltrating American institutions. The fact that there was an attempted coup in Turkey reinforces the gravity of the allegations and these analyses.
