#1 Any guesses as to where this piece of disinformation may have originated ?

#2 I’ve no idea, Besoeker. Do you have any thoughts on the subject?

#3 Fethullah Gulen, a Turkish cleric living in exile in the United States was, or possibly remains, the Deep State's groomed 'regime change' pick to replace Erdoğan. It didn't happen, or hasn't yet. The effort to blame Erdoğan and Turkey for everything continues.

One of the reasons Mike Flynn (and there were many other reasons) was targeted was his support for the return of Gulen to Turkey.

#4 To be fair, Turkey deserves a lot of blame, though it seems misplaced here. Fethullen Gulen strikes me as far more suited to being head of a pseudo-cult of driven self-starters than as a politician, while none of his people have poked their heads above the ramparts to lead the fight against the unending Turkish government hunt at home and abroad for overlooked FETO members to haul off to jail.

I do have to wonder what President Erdogan thinks he’ll get out of his involvement in Somalia, and where he’s getting the funds to pay for swanning around as if he were already the neo-Ottoman sultan.

Perhaps he dreams of his own private Minneapolis.
