Gotcha, BBC
BBC mentions that Turkey is modifying the form of its government somewhat, switching the top office from PM to President. Current PM Erdogan is among the candidates for the new office, and is generally favored to win today's first direct election. [Later: He has definitely won. Yay!]
BBC described Turkey as a key pivot point between East and West, which is geographically and historically obvious. Then: "Turkey is right in the middle of the chaos of recent years, from Tunisia to Ukraine."
This is an intentional distortion. Failed to mention two basic FACTS: (1) Satan's media constantly try to depict this chaos as an unstoppable force of nature. Nonsense. In all of those countries chaos was explicitly generated by
Nudelman Chaos Partners LLC, or by similar contractors paid and controlled by US/EU governments and financiers. (2) The same EU/US/Goldman contractors TRIED to generate chaos in Turkey but FAILED. Why did they fail? Not because Erdogan squashed them. His police controlled the crowds with reasonable force. Chaos faded away, and Nudelman gave up, because Erdogan runs a competent government that has brought success to his country. Students are always ready for a riot when properly stirred up by Agents Provocateurs, but
nobody else joined them.
Zero Problems wins again.
Incidentally, the short clip accompanying BBC's article shows Zero Problems in action. The reporter is doing the usual standup in front of a polling place. As he discusses the candidates and the supposed problems, lots of people walk in and out of the building. All of them, young and old, look moderately prosperous and moderately happy. As he describes the "tension" between Islam and a secular state, a Muslim lady in hijab and a fancy blond Western-style lady walk past, chatting cheerfully.
