Turkey Surrounds, Blocks Access To NATO's Incirlik Airbase; Convoys Of Berserk Muslims In Route




Turkey Surrounds, Blocks Access To NATO's Incirlik Airbase Amid Speculation Of Second Coup


While it is common knowledge by now that the failed and/or staged Turkish coup two weekends ago was nothing more than an excuse for Erdogan to concentrate even more power and eradicate all political and independent opposition, a story that has gotten less attention is the sudden, and acute deterioration in US-Turkish relations. This culminated two days ago when the Commander of US Central Command (CENTCOM) General Joseph Votel was forced to deny on the record having anything to do with the attempted coup in Turkey following pointed allegations from the very top in the local government that the US orchestrated last Friday's "coup", according to a statement released by the US military on Friday.
As Stars and Stripes reported late last week, the recent failed coup and jailing of military leaders in Turkey could impact U.S. operations there against the Islamic State group, Gen. Joseph Votel said Thursday at a security conference in Colorado. Votel said the coup attempt in Turkey two weeks ago left him “concerned” about how U.S. operations and personnel at Incirlik Air Base will be affected.

Meanwhile, Turkey's war of words against the US escalated on Friday, when Turkey's authoritarian despot Erdogan condemned the West for refusing to show solidarity with Ankara, accusing NATO 'allies' as being more concerned about the fate of coup supporters than the survival of Turkey are not friends of Ankara. Erdogan blasted the West for criticizing the massive purge of Turkey’s military and other state institutions which has seen 60,000 people detained, removed or suspended over suspected links with the coup and for cancelling 50,000 civilian passports which many worry is but a prelude to an expansion of the reign of terror inside the country. 
"The attitude of many countries and their officials over the coup attempt in Turkey is shameful in the name of democracy," Erdogan told hundreds of supporters at the presidential palace in Ankara. 
"Any country and any leader who does not worry about the life of Turkish people and our democracy as much as they worry about the fate of coupists are not our friends," said Erdogan

Which brings us to today, and the news that NATO's critical Incirlik Air Base was hours ago completely blocked off by Turkey, with all inputs and outputs to the Adana base having been closed according to Turkey's Hurriyet among rumors of yet another coup.

Some 7,000 armed police with heavy vehicles have surrounded and blocked the Incirlik air base in Adana used by NATO forces, already restricted in the aftermath of a failed coup. Unconfirmed reports say troops were sent to deal with a new coup attempt.
Hurriyet reported earlier that Adana police had been tipped off about a new coup attempt, and forces were immediately alerted. The entrance to the base was closed off.  Security forces armed with rifles and armored TOMA vehicles used by Turkish riot police could be seen at the site in photos taken by witnesses.

The lockdown at Incirlik follows a massive wave of protests on Thursday when pro-Erdogan nationalists took to the streets yelling "death to the US" and called for the immediate closure of the Incirlik base. Security personnel dispersed the protesters before they were able to make it to the base.
And while there has been no official statement from US armed forces stationed at Incirlik at this time, the situation continues to develop in front of the air bBase as more heavy trucks have been dispatched to surround and block access to the critical military facility.

It is unclear if Erdogan is naive enough to think that he can out-bluff and out-bully the US and keep Incirlik hostage until he gets Gulen repatriated by Obama on a silver platter, a hostage "tit for tat" we first described two weeks ago. If so, one wonders, if he is doing so alone, or with the moral support of others, perhaps such recently prominent enemies of Erdogan as Vladimir Putin. Recall that just over a month ago Erdogan publicly apologized to Putin for downing the Russian Su-24 fighter jet in November, and called Putin "a friend."
Finally, at least as of this moment, it appears that theairspace around Incirlik is closed.





What you see on the news from Turkey are protesters shouting anti-American and anti-Israel slogans, but what most are not seeing are the miles long of convoys headed towards the Incirlik base where U.S. Air Force is stationed to stage a massive rally against the U.S.

In summary, anti American sentiments are growing in Turkey and the population is reflecting to its past Islamist attempts to change that nation. Now that its Muslim Brotherhood real coup was a success after July 15th failed coup, we are beginning to see the rise of the Muslim storm.
This storm, which many mocked saying it “was dead,” especially after the Muslim Brotherhood failed in Egypt.
Do any now doubt? Now Turkey is the Muslim Brotherhood and the Muslim Brotherhood is Turkey.

Now the Muslim flood of this red dragon wants to stop the U.S. from attacking Turkey’s baby, ISIS, calling for the closure of the base shouting “shut down Incirlik."


Blaming the U.S. has skyrocketed in Turkey under the Obama Administration. Is Obama giving the base as a farewell gift to Erdogan, along with hydrogen-bomb tactical nukes?
A pro-Erdogan Turkish scholar has said that many people in Turkey believe the United States is behind the July 15 coup attempt because the head of the parallel state, Fetullah Gulen, lives in the country, despite repeated requests for his extradition by Turkish authorities.
In an article published Wednesday in the Daily Sabah, an English-language newspaper based in Turkey, university lecturer and former EU minister Beril Dedeoglu said that in the history of coups in Turkey, the U.S. has always taken the side of the coup plotters.

In summary, Erdogan wants to be the tyrant Alp Arslan and Saladin who conquered Jerusalem and is why they burn Israeli flags. He wants to be all in all. He wants to “declare war on the strongest fortresses” (the US) to “advance his foreign God," Allah, through warfare as Daniel predicted.
What we have here is a case where Muslims believe in their Quran and Christians do not believe in their Bible and what God prophesied in it: that Islam is on its way.
Years ago, it was unthinkable to believe that Turkey would turn on the U.S. What we see here is just the spark before the coming storm. We urge all Christians (especially Jews, Greeks, and Armenians) to leave Turkey before its too late.






7000 Turkish Forces With Heavy Equipment Surround Home Of US Nukes–US Air Base In Turkey Where A Lockdown Is In Progress



The massive presence of pro-Erdogan armed police supported by heavy vehicles enforced a lock down at the Incirlik base means that no one from inside the base is allowed entry and no one allowed exit. Why would 7,000 pro-Erdogan armed police with heavy vehicles surround and block the Incirlik air base in Adana used by US and NATO forces remains a mystery. What can be seen from video and reports is that there are heavy dump trucks being made ready to enter  Air Base where some 50-90 tactical nuclear weapons are stored.

 All inputs and outputs to the Incirlik Air Base located in Adana have been closed as Turkish Minister of European Affairs cautions that it is just a “safety inspection” while local newspapers speculate that a second coup attempt may be underway. According to the Turkish Minister for European Affairs, Omar Celik, this is just a routine “safety inspection.” However, Hurriyet, by contrast, has raised concern that the closing may be tied to a claim made by Erodgan’s regime that there is another attempt to prevent a second coup. Sputnik news reports that:

 “The massive presence of armed police supported by heavy vehicles calls into question the Turkish government’s official line that the lock down at the Incirlik base is merely a “safety inspection.”

The US maintains 50 to 90 tactical nuclear weapons at the base. The lockdown at Incirlik follows a massive wave of protests on Thursday when pro-Erdogan nationalists took to the streets yelling “death to the US” and called for the immediate closure of the base. Security personnel dispersed the protesters before they were able to make it to the base, but with these dump trucks, conflicting reports, who knows what is brewing, so stay tuned. When it comes to Incirlik, we ought to pay attention regardless to which version of the story is correct.
