Protocols of the Subcontractors of Zion
A good piece today in the Turkish press by Soner Çağaptay, Jaclyn Blumenfeld and Burç Özçelik notes the new euphemism for "cunning, conspiring Jew" in these parts: subcontractors.
The [AK] party, for instance, now refers to the PKK as a “subcontractor” (taşeron), suggesting that Israel and invisible actors, not the PKK itself, are responsible for the terror attacks. At the same time, the AKP has also begun labeling domestic and international media that have been critical of its foreign policy as other “subcontractors” puppeteered by the same forces that are “behind the PKK.” These two new conspiracies are laying roots in Turkey. Here is how.
As soon as the May 31 Gaza flotilla incident took place, AKP officials started to imply that Israel was behind the PKK terror attacks that had, hours earlier, killed seven Turkish soldiers in a rocket attack on a naval base in the Mediterranean port city of İskenderun. Speaking on the day’s events, AKP Deputy Chairman Hüseyin Çelik condemned Israel, but also made a connection between Israel and the PKK attack: “On the same day [as the flotilla incident], there was an attack on a military unit in İskenderun. We also condemn this act of terror. We do not think that it is a coincidence that these two attacks took place at the same time.”
On June 9, the AKP government voted “no” to U.S.-led sanctions against Iran’s nuclear project. This development prompted a barrage of criticism of the AKP’s foreign policy, at home and internationally. The AKP leader, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, strategically shifted the blame, tying such criticism to “subcontractors.”
Erdoğan said at the Turkish-Arab Forum held in Istanbul on June 10 that “the word ‘media’ is associated with Israel and Israeli administration around the world… they have the capability to manipulate as they please as far as this matter is concerned.” The next day, in Trabzon, he rebuked the media again for its role as a conspirator: “International media, as supported by Israel, make the very same claims [of Turkey breaking away from the West]. They receive their instructions from the same place.”
On June 11, Erdoğan spoke on Turkish foreign policy: “And yet as we make an effort to increase the level of cooperation, an insidious hand gets involved in the matter right away. So far, they have managed to design world politics, foreign policy, with this black propaganda, with these aggressive headlines… Get a hold of those papers published in Israel and put them on the table, and then put those certain well-known papers in Turkey next to those, and believe me, you will see no difference between the two, with the exception of language. This is because these are subcontractors [sic].”
On June 15, speaking, at an AKP parliamentary meeting, Erdoğan again addressed Turkey’s “subcontractors,” saying “we shall not submit to that black propaganda. Neither that of the international nor the local media… We shall never flinch in speaking the truth in the face of the stale campaigns of the subcontractors within Turkey… They have of course mobilized those press organizations they provide support for, or the ones that support Israel, as they always do. There are those who support this in Turkey as well... I am very sorry to report that the black propaganda against Turkey, initiated and currently maintained by Israeli supported international media, is openly supported by certain known press organizations within Turkey… We know the real meaning between the lines in those headlines, and the motive behind them all too well.”
By the way, Elders, now that I have your attention, I hereby take this opportunity bitterly to complain that we subcontractors are severely underpaid. They're obviously on to us. I'm not doing this for my health, you know. I'll send you a memo. Just let me finish eating this Gentile baby.
Oh, just for fun: Watch the comment space below the article. It's empty now, but soon it will be filled with comments calling the authors Zionist tools. Blumenfeld, that sounds like a subcontractor name to me! Özçelik and Çağaptay--what's that joke about the physicist testing the theory that all odd numbers are prime? "Let's see, one is prime, three is prime, five is prime, seven, yep, nine ... nine ... experimental error!"
