Former Central Intelligence Director Porter Goss is taking an unusual swing through the revolving door: He recently registered to lobby for the government of Turkey, according to forms filed with the Justice Department.

Goss registered through his new employer, Dickstein Shapiro, which has a longstanding relationship with the Turkish government.

The disclosure shows Goss will advise Turkey on a variety of issues, including counterterrorism efforts; lobby members of Congress on “issues of importance to Turkey”; and notify Turkey of actions in Congress or the Executive Branch.

Those who honor the vision of the founder of the modern Turkish Republic view the current events in Turkey with grave concern.

Mustafa Kemal Ataturk said “Authority, without any condition and reservation, belongs to the nation.” This is written in the chamber of the Turkish Parliament. His populist vision held that the people of the nation themselves are the sovereign. His democratic vision for his people is again under threat.

Results of the election of June 7th 2015, have led to commentary in the western media that is predominantly hopeful and optimistic – proclaiming the election a victory for Turkish democracy. However, such spin fails to provide proper historical context and skepticism, and fails to meet the reality check. Informed Turks know better.

Turkey's nationalist party would back AKP minority govt in return for snap poll

........... A majority of Turks see Erdogan as the biggest obstacle to a coalition deal while almost two thirds see recent military action as part of an attempt to achieve different results at an early election, a poll by research company Gezici showed on Tuesday.

The survey showed 56.8 percent of those asked saw Erdogan as the main block in coalition negotiations. A quarter blamed the opposition for the lack of progress, while less than 20 percent saw Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu as responsible.

If the June 7 vote were to be re-run this Sunday, little would change, the poll suggested. The AKP would still be unable to govern alone while the pro-Kurdish HDP, whose strong performance cost the AKP its majority, would stay in parliament.

The poll of 4,860 people, taken on July 25-26, put the AKP on 41.9 percent, up slightly from 40.9 percent in June. The main opposition CHP, which has been in coalition talks with the AKP, saw its support rise just over a percentage point to 26.3.

The MHP lost one percent to 15.3 percent, while the pro-Kurdish HDP slipped to 12.3 percent from 13.1.

Turkish officials tipped off al-Nusra Front about the entry of US-trained fighters into Syria shortly before they were kidnapped, according to Syrian rebel sources.

Fighters from the Division 30 Brigade of 54 “moderate” US-trained rebels told McClatchy on Tuesday that Turkish intelligence had informed the al-Qaeda-linked al-Nusra Front of the brigade’s entrance into Syria, enabling al-Nusra to kidnap them.

“Only the Americans and the Turks knew” about the plans, said one Division 30 officer. “We have sources who tell us the Turks warned Nusra that they would be targeted by this group.”

Poll shows Turkey's AK Party short of votes needed to form government alone

Turkey's ruling AK Party is seen falling short of the votes needed to form a single-party government in a snap election on Nov. 1 with 41.7 percent of votes, up from 40.9 percent in the June election, pollster Metropoll found in its latest survey.

The AKP lost its majority in a June 7 election for the first time since coming to power in 2002 and its leader, Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu was appointed on Tuesday to form a temporary power-sharing cabinet after coalition talks collapsed.

According to the Metropoll survey, backing for the secular main opposition CHP was at 25.5 percent, the nationalist MHP at 15.7 percent and the pro-Kurdish HDP at 14.7 percent - a rise in its support from 13.1 percent in June

Like other observers of Turkish politics, I was stunned on November 1 when the ruling Justice and Development Party (Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi, or AKP) was reported to have increased its share of the national vote since the last round of elections in June 2015 by 9 percent and its share of parliamentary seats by 11 percent. The polls had consistently shown the four major parties winning about the same number of seats as in June. This made intuitive sense; they represent mutually hostile outlooks (Islamist, leftist, Kurdish, nationalist), making substantial movement between them in under five months highly unlikely.

Erdogan Gang Heist - Election Fraud in Turkey Nov 1

The Erdoan gang, also known as the AK Party (AKP), stole the snap elections held in Turkey on Sunday, November 1. (Image: thierry ehrmann)

This was a make-or-break election for Turkish President Recep Erdoan. Any outcome other than single party rule by the AKP threatened Erdan with prosecution for well-documented financial crimes and support for terrorists in Syria. Against the record of recent elections and against public opinion polling results, AKP increased it vote share over the June elections just enough to assure an absolute majority in parliament. The would-be Sultan was saved, at least for now.

The implications for Turkey are profound. The lessons learned about the decline of the rulers and elites in Europe and the United States are of great interest as well.

To believe that Erdoan's AKP won the election, you need to believe the following.

AKP party support increased 16% above the public opinion poll predictions and 20% over the June general election total.

From June 7 through the last polls before the November elections, AKP public polling showed the AKP at a around 42% of the electorate. Nothing material happened in the last two weeks of the campaign to cause a rallying to AKP, yet the party support increased 16% above the poll predictions and 20% over the June general election total.

Election Day in Turkey: Ballots, Watchdogs, and Fraud

VICE News correspondant Tim Pool went to Istanbul to check out polling stations and the city's main election center. He found a largely analog election process, vulnerable to all kinds of voter fraud—citizen watchdog groups are the only line of defense against widespread election rigging. Tim caught up with one of these organizations, Vote & Beyond, as it monitored the elections.

Ich bin nicht so sicher wie der Author meinte weil Teil die kurden die am 7 Juni für HDP gewält haben ,und jetzt für AKP gewelsel haben , Der AKP gewonen hat , auch wenn das beeinflusstet kann. Wahrheit ist das die Kurdische Gesellschaft sehr Konservativ ist ( um Konservativ zu sein , bedeutet sich wenig Begeisterung von veränderungen ..) und die AKP vielen Wahlen stimme von ihnen bekommt hat , Erdogan hat mit dem Angst gespielt und seine Motto war mit mir es werde weiter mit dem "Wirtschaft Wachstum " und nach mir kommt das kaos .... aber auch Wahlt Betrügt hat etwas geholfe ...
Er wußte das er werde gewonen , nur solltet die Medien die etwas dagegen sagen konnten , ausschaltet ... http://www.heise.de/tp/artikel/46/46490/1.html und die Betrüg nicht viel verdächtig zu machen seine Partei hat 49.41% die stimmung "bekommen" .Er weiß das die von westlischen Länden kein ärger bekommt wird , sie werden alle gemacht um Erdoban glüklich zu machen um die Flüchhilfe die nach Europa kommen , zu stopen .Ich finde mehr als verdächtig dass die Flüchhilfen Kurz vor die Wahlt sich "entschiedenen" nach Europa zu kommen und das Erdogan kein beeinflussung in diese "entscheidung" hatte ....
jetz Erdogan hat Frei Hand für machen was er will , gegen innere türkische Bürger und gegen kurden .Man kann sage über Erdoban das er ein Bastar ist , aber auch ein Gute Spieler ...
