How to oust Erdogan and his gang of Islamists

In a series of articles, we analyzed fundamental political and national – cultural considerations related to today’s Turkey that are indispensable for that country’s Secular – Democratic establishment in order to oust the Islamist Turkish premier as soon as possible.

In a first article, entitled "A Secular Democratic Master Plan to oust Islamist Simulator Erdogan", we presented the basic frame of a Master Plan of Synergy that should be set up by representatives of the various components of Turkey’s secular establishment, namely the academia and the intellectuals, the world of finance, the military, the diplomats, the politicians and the statesmen, the activists and the administrative elite. Debating within the frame of a non institutionalized body (form of a Consultative Committee with many sections), the participants should reach common conclusions as regards 1) across-the-board political considerations, 2) cultural – national – historical considerations, 3) the formation of the necessary tools, and 4) the elaboration of a list of target and activity priorities, and then embark on a thunderous campaign to bring the disastrous Islamist simulator down.

In the two subsequent articles, entitled "A Master Plan to force Islamist Erdogan out – Orhan Pamuk for President" and "The Master Plan to terminate the Perilous Erdogan Predicament", we underscored the importance of a final unification of all the conservative and nationalist parties, the need of the CHP Center Left main opposition party to undergo self-criticism and renovation, and the significance of establishing a common approach to the Kurdish issue, the basic Foreign Policy directives, and the Turkish economy’s further liberalization. We added that Turkey’s Secular Establishment should opt now for Nobel Prize Orhan Pamuk as Common Candidate for President, while preparing for common lists in the next parliamentary elections that can – and should – occur much before 5 years pass. In addition, they should help launch an Islamic Party that would make Erdogan face two fronts at the same time, while mercilessly discrediting him in the eyes of Islamic electorate as a silly puppet of the voraciously anti-Islamic, Apostate Freemasonic Lodge of France.

In a fourth article, entitled "The Search for Turkey’s Identity and Real Soul", we focused on the critical issue of the Cultural – National – Historical considerations, which only can help the Turkish Secular – Democratic establishment get Turkey rid of the Erdogan pestilence. At a moment Turkey faces a severe betrayal from the part of several countries considered as allies and is bound to confront the perfidy of ominous centers of power that disseminate discord and disaster, it is essential for today’s Turks to clarify and address questions of identity and cultural – national – historical individuality. Only this will put the final, irreversible stamp on the outcome of the predicament between Secular Turkey and Islamist Turkey.

In that article, we identified seven pillars of Turkish Identity, National Heritage, and Cultural Background, namely Hittite Anatolia, Indigenous Multicultural Anatolia (Phrygian, Lydian, Ionian, etc.), Persian, Macedonian and Roman Anatolia, Late Antiquity Anatolia (as a High Place for the Nascent Christianity and Scriptorium for the Revelation), Christian, Gnostic, and Manichaean, Aramaean Anatolian Cosmopolitanism, Eastern Roman - Constantinopolitan Anatolia, and Seljuk and Ottoman Islamic Anatolia.

Turkey’s secular – democratic establishment needs urgently sociopolitical tools of pressure

It is time for us to focus now on the political tools that the secular – democratic establishment of Turkey must generate in order to engage in battle with the Erdogan Islamist gang that intends to become Turkey’s next regime, overthrowing the Secular – Democratic establishment via simulation, political duplicity and treachery, mounting societal pressure, and diverse foreign financial backing (from Euro-liberal capital to cash owed to ominous Gulf Islamists).

It is clear that beyond the lack of coordination among the various components of the Secular – Democratic establishment (namely the academia and the intellectuals, the world of finance, the military, the diplomats, the politicians and the statesmen, the activists and the administrative elite), and between them and the average peoples, Turkey is characterized by the lack of effective sociopolitical tools of pressure that could be valuable weapons in the hands of the Secular – Democratic establishment.

The establishment itself cannot function as a political tool of pressure of course, and the political parties of the opposition are old, old-fashioned, relatively dysfunctional, and poorly operative at the social level.

This is a critical point in understanding what happened in the Turkish society over the past 5 – 7 years. Any thought and estimation that today’s Turkey can easily overcome Erdogan and his gang is irrelevant; of course, we do not count the military coup option. But this would give the manifested enemies of Turkey the best chance they have been looking for. This again does not imply that we would find the option as unjust, unfair, let alone undemocratic.

Pondering about the issue, we should place ourselves in front of the following question:

- What if German generals had reacted in 1933 against the election results that brought Hitler to power? Would that coup have been undemocratic or antidemocratic to oust Hitler?

This question shows the limits of the treacherous argument of those who pathetically opt for ‘soft power’ in Turkey. It would certainly take several articles to denounce the fallacious concept of ‘soft power’ but this is not our intent in the case of the present article. However, here we want to stress the point that first, a military coup against Erdogan can certainly be avoided in Turkey, and second, if need be, a military coup should be pertinently prepared in order to minimize the damages.

In this regard, it is essential to highlight that the support offered by CHP main opposition leader Deniz Baykal to the discourses and the declarations of Gen. Buyukanit has cost tremendously at the international relations level, and more particularly within the Socialist International. This could be avoided in the future, if the correct sociopolitical tools are created and put to function. What can these tools be, and in charge of what should they be?

Creation of Public Pressure Committees

Following deliberations effectuated and conclusions drawn by the various components of the Secular – Democratic establishment, namely the academia and the intellectuals, the world of finance, the military, the diplomats, the politicians and the statesmen, the activists and the administrative elite, a certain number of Public Pressure Committees have to be formed and pull together followers and fans of all the opposition parties in ceaseless social and political activism. These committees need not to be named as such, they can take the form of NGOs, cultural associations, citizens’ organizations, civil groups, etc.

These committees should be funded, supervised and guided by the various components of the Secular – Democratic establishment within an excellently coordinated programme. These organizations and committees should undertake all the social pressure and propaganda work needed for Turkey’s Secular - Democratic establishment to re-instate Kemal Ataturk’s principles and ideas. They will arrange political and social meetings, they will mobilize masses at the social level, in the district, the neighborhood, the town, and the village. They will exercise pressure at the social cell for issues the political leaders will be talking in the Parliament or in a great political meeting – manifestation in a big city.

They should act – well financed – ceaselessly, aggressively and overwhelmingly. They should achieve to terrorize the less numerous Erdogan’s supporters, who are the nucleus of Turkey’s Islamists and lunatics. At the same time, and thanks to their dynamic manifestations, they will become the best proof that Erdogan is unable to govern. Foreign embassies of countries supporting Erdogan must become a target; foreign journalists, companies involved in pro-Erdogan militancy will be put under terrible pressure so that they choose to reconsider. Religious expressions at the level of the society should become the primary target. It must become very clear that Islam is out of the Turkish society, limited only in the sphere of personal belief - within the walls of one’s house or apartment.

Public Pressure Committees and activist organizations must be formed, evolving around following political issues and concerns:

1) ‘People – Army Fraternity’ Committee – propagating the Turkish people’s desire and political willingness to have the army promulgated as ultimate warrantor of the Democracy and the Secular Society

2) Committee ‘Close Down the Religious Schools’ – a thunderous rejection of the existence of the religious schools, hindering the function of as many possible among them, blocking the access to them, and demanding the non-consideration of the certificates issued by these schools

3) Committee ‘Prohibit the Islamic Headscarf’ – demanding the total prohibition of all forms of veil in public, either in offices or in the streets, aggressively ridiculing veiled women in the streets, and acting in a way to ignite terrible social disorder that would end up with constitutional prohibition of any sort of veil

4) Committee ‘Stop all Islamist publications, newspapers, magazines, TV channels’ – demanding the prohibition of all Islamic publications as genuinely anti-patriotic and anti-Turkish

5) Committee ‘Cultural Diversity’ – involving groups for the support of Christian Aramaean Culture, Muslim Alevi Culture, Yazidi Culture, Christian Armenian Culture, Jewish Culture, Zaza Culture, and groups for the revival of Ancient Hittite Religion, Ancient Greek Religion, and the Pre-Islamic Turkish Religion

6) Committee ‘End the Kurdish Separatism’

7) Committee ‘Turkey in Iraq’ – to actively demand and support the Turkish Military Intervention in Northern Iraq

8) Committee against Erdogan’s Foreign Policy – mainly targeting to limit Erdogan’s choices, and deploy daily activism, as well as pressure on foreign embassies and undesired visitors, Foreign Ministry, and Parliament

9) Committee ‘Overthrow the Ayatullahs’ – demanding regime change in Iran, and targeting to liberate the numerous oppressed peoples of Iran

10) Committee ‘Freedom for Turkish Siberia and Eastern Turkistan’ – supporting the liberation of the oppressed Turkic and Uralo-Mongolian peoples in Russia and China

11) Grassroots Organization ‘Turkic Union’ – promoting the convergence of all the Turkic peoples, and heralding the prospective Turkic Central Asiatic Union, involving Georgia, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Afghanistan, Mongolia, and parts of Russia and China

12) Committee ‘Tear Down the Racist European Union’ – struggling for the Rights and the Coordination of the fight of all the oppressed and non recognized peoples, ethnic groups, and states in Europe, involving Basks, Bretons, Corsicans, Catalonians, Kosovo, Transnistria, etc.

13) Committee ‘Down with Islamist Barbary’ – shaping Turkey’s participation in the War against the Islamic Terrorism and motivating masses against Islamic States’ policies, activities, and diplomatic presence in Turkey

14) Committee ‘Eradicate the bogus-Arab tyrannies’ – breaking down Erdogan’s bridges with the uncivilized Arabic speaking elites, while propagating Turkey’s right to unite the Middle East and diffuse Democracy and Secularism instead of the existing Wahhabi Cannibalism, and

15) Association for an Extended Turkish – Israeli Alliance – calling for eradication of the Anti-Semitic states in the Middle East, and propagating the diachronic alliance between Muslim Turks and Jews

How these associations, organizations and committees will function within the overall plan of Turkey’s Secular Establishment we will analyze in a separate article.
