Oh, goody... Next thing you know, Canada will invade Colombia to stop the pot flow...

-Danny

And together there
In a shroud of frost, the mountain air
Began to pass from every pane of weathered glass
And I held you closer than anyone would ever get

Do you remember the JAMC?
And reading aloud from magazines
I don't know about you but I swear on my name they could smell it on me
I've never been too good with secrets.
No...

Great invasion.

First they give notice...then they forget to bring most of their army. No wonder they always get their asses kicked on Thanksgiving.

The Turkeys attack, during the canned food drive. In a parody of Braveheart, the citizens of South Park and the turkeys start fighting. The people of South Park end up winning (mostly due to the fact there were hunters with guns). Starvin' Marvin is sent back to Ethiopia and Cartman comes back to South Park. With him, Starvin' Marvin brings the other Ethiopians the dead turkeys to feast on.

Yeah... next thing you know, they'll be flying a "Mission Accomplished" banner, then they'll be mired in a quagmire for the next 5 to 100 years...

Sweeping generalizations are always wrong!

I swear to god, I thought turkeys could fly.......

The Alliance said they were gonna waltz through Serenity Valley. And we choked 'em with those words. We've done the impossible, and that makes us mighty.

Turks, more Turkish madness

Syria motion proves thorny for Turkey’s Erdogan

While Turkey has kept a tough stance on the Syrian regime during the country’s spiralling unrest, Ankara is far from ready to wage war on its Muslim neighbour. Hurriyet looks at how Prime Minister Tayyip Erdoğan might weather the looming conflict.

Court Documents Shed Light on CIA Illegal Operations in Central Asia Using Islam & Madrassas


Court Documents Shed Light on CIA Illegal Operations in Central Asia Using Islam & Madrassas - Sibel Edmonds State Secrets Gallery Connects Pipeline Politics, Madrassas & the Turkish Proxies In a recent immigration court case involving Turkish Islamic Leader, Fetullah Gulen, US prosecutors exposed an illegal, covert, CIA operation involving the intentional Islamization of Central Asia. This operation has been ongoing since the fall of the Soviet Union in an ongoing Cold War to control the vast energy resources of the region - Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan - estimated to be worth $3 trillion. Court CaseThe scene for these dramatic disclosures was an application for a Green Card in the Eastern District Court in Philadelphia by "controversial Islamic scholar" Fetullah Gulen. Gulen, who has been living in the United States since 1998, argued that he qualified for the Green Card as "an extraordinarily talented academic." The court case was covered extensively by the Turkish press. Leading Turkish newspaper Hurriyet reported:

"Gülen's financial resources were detailed in the public prosecutor's arguments, which claimed that Saudi Arabia, Iran, the Turkish government, and the Central Intelligence Agency, or CIA, were behind the Gülen movement. It stated that some businessmen in Ankara donated 10 to 70 percent of their annual income to the movement and that it corresponded to $20,000 to $300,000 per year per person. It added that one businessman in Istanbul donated $4-5 million each year and that young people graduating from Gülen's schools donated between $2,000 and $5,000 each year."

Another leading Turkish newspaper reported (translated by Rastibini)

Among the reasons given by the US State Department's attorneys as to why Gülen's permanent residence application was refused, is the suspicion of CIA financing of his movement. [ . . . ] "There is even CIA suspicion" "Because of the large amount of money that Gülen's movement uses to finance his projects, there are claims that he has secret agreements with Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Turkic governments. There are suspicions that the CIA is a co-payer in financing these projects," claimed the attorneys. [ . . . ] Among the documents that the state attorneys presented, there are claims about the Gülen movement's financial structure and it was emphasized that the movement's economic power reached $25 billion. "Schools, newspapers, universities, unions, television channels . . . The relationship among these are being debated. There is no transparency in their work," claimed the attorneys."

Who is Gulen? Fetullah Gulen is "a 67-year-old Turkish Sufi cleric, author and theoretician," according to a recent profile in the UK's Prospect magazine. Prospect ran a public poll last month to find the world's greatest living intellectual. Gulen 'won' the poll after his newspapers alerted readers to the poll's existence. Gulen is also the leader of the so-called 'Gulen Movement' which claims to have seven million followers worldwide. The Gulen Movement has extensive business interests, including "publishing activities (books, newspapers, and magazines), construction, healthcare, and education." Gulen and the CIA The fact that the prosecutors in the court cite documents that claim that Gulen has been financed in part by the CIA is remarkable for a number of reasons, even though there have been strong suspicions about the CIA's involvement in the Gulen Movement for years. The Russian intelligence agency, the FSB, has repeatedly taken action again

You realize that most of these posts would be perfectly adequate as their own thread topic.

Instead of hidden under the shambling zombie word corpses of yesteryears.

@ article: Looks like the middle east is still a confused, confusing charlie fox. Good to know.

That's worse than our SecDef letting the world know we'll be cruise missiling Syria for 3 days, and then quit.



Fathom the hypocrisy of a government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured... but not everyone must prove they are a citizen
