The swift rounding up of judges and others accused of taking part in a failed coup in Turkey indicates the government had prepared a list beforehand, the EU commissioner dealing with Turkey's membership bid has said.

    Good bye to a Turkey that at least played lip service to secular society. Any liberal or secular opposition has been effectively neutered.

    I'm not the only person starting to wonder if the Turkish coup was at least to some degree a false-flag operation that was meant to expose Erdogan's opposition.

    The suspicion for this is rooted in several observations:

    1. About 30,000 people so far have been arrested or fired from their jobs. The lists of those people were clearly compiled before this 'coup' occured.

    2. The military of Turkey has never failed to oust an extremist government before and in this coup attempt it was clear that at least a third of the military sat it out.

    3. The 'organizer' of the coup (Gulen) is a moderate cleric living in the USA who has long opposed extremism...if he opposed Erdogan in favor of the secular military then it's not Gulen who's the extremist.

    4. Erdogan personally approved of using the Hagia Sophia as a mosque again...a symbolic decision that returned Constantinople to Islamic rule and he's being celebrated as the new Caliph in Sunni circles. He's also made statements that encourage the invasions of Spain and Italy by Muslims.

    I think the real coup wasn't done by the military but by Erdogan and I am firmly convinced that we're about to see Turkey become something along the lines of Iran: a theocratic state.

    Erdogan's hit list is now estimated to number in excess of 50,000.

    Turkey vowed to root out allies of the U.S.-based cleric it blames for an abortive coup last week, widening a purge of the army, police and judiciary on Tuesday to universities and schools, the intelligence agency and religious authorities.

    Around 50,000 soldiers, police, judges, civil servants and teachers have been suspended or detained since the coup attempt, stirring tensions across the country of 80 million which borders Syria's chaos and is a Western ally against Islamic State.

    "This parallel terrorist organisation will no longer be an effective pawn for any country," Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said, referring to what the government has long alleged is a state within a state controlled by followers of Fethullah Gulen.

    "We will dig them up by their roots," he told parliament.


    The bloodbath will start shortly...if it hasn't already.

    Mr Erdogan has read Mein Kampf and learned a thing or two from Herr Hitler.

    50,000 people now.

    Meanwhile, the Turkish government crackdown widened on Tuesday to include the education sector and government departments.

    Turkish media announced that:

    15,200 teachers and other education staff had been sacked
    1,577 university deans were ordered to resign
    8,777 interior ministry workers were dismissed
    1,500 staff in the finance ministry had been fired
    257 people working in the prime minister's office were sacked

    Turkey's media regulation body on Tuesday also revoked the licences of 24 radio and TV channels accused of links to Mr Gulen.

    The news came on top of the arrests of more than 6,000 military personal and the sackings of nearly 9,000 police officers. About 3,000 judges have also been suspended.

    Turkey has formally charged 99 generals and admirals in connection with the weekend's thwarted coup attempt - a significant chunk of the country's military top brass.

    President Erdogan is meeting with loyal commanders and his cabinet in Ankara.

    Authorities have banned all academics from travelling abroad, as the purge of state employees suspected of being connected to the failed coup continues.

    More than 50,000 people have been rounded up, sacked or suspended.

    So far about 1,577 university deans (faculty heads) have been asked to resign in addition to 21,000 teachers and 15,000 education ministry officials.

    They are suspected of having links to the alleged mastermind of the coup, US-based cleric Fethullah Gulen - who denies any involvement.




    Getting to Stalin levels soon.

    The coup was a set up to purge all opposition.
