The Fake Modern-Intellectual Team and Terrorism

Fake Modernists, Intellectual Team

Professor Oktay Sinanoğlu said the following in an interview in 2012.

“ Pay attention. A nation is reborn in every generation. In other words, what keeps a nation alive is its millennia-old traditions and culture.”

Culture is not about putting on a ballet performance in Hakkari.

Culture isn't about going to a concert occasionally to show off.

Modernity isn't about walking dogs in the back alleys of Moda.

We have produced such a pseudo-modern, intellectual class.

Let's not say just in our country, but in every colony, such a pseudo-modern, intellectual class has been cultivated. And these are types who are detached from their own culture, who actually despise their own nation and people, who are alienated from their own culture, but who occasionally spout populist rhetoric.

These problems have been inflicted upon Turkey as well.

Western Admiration and Perceptual Illusions

The misinformation constantly repeated by "closet Atatürkists" and pro-colonial intellectuals was imposed on society for years. For a long time, the Turkish people accepted writings and ideas that quoted Western authors and sometimes used a few Latin or English words as correct and valuable.

The West was constantly portrayed as the center of democracy and freedom. The belief spread that in the West, human life was valued above all else.

But is this the truth?

Western civilization possesses a culture that desires everything solely for itself, disregarding human values when its own economic interests dictate.

The history of the West is full of crimes against humanity that must be punished, including those committed in World War I, World War II, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Vietnam, Rwanda, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Ukraine, and most recently in Gaza.

The group of pseudo-intellectuals that Oktay Sinanoğlu refers to are ignoring these crimes of the West.

Globalization and Soft Power

The biggest obstacle to global corporations' ability to access raw materials, labor, and markets as they wish is the nation-states that strive to protect their own national economic assets: raw materials, labor, and markets.

Global corporations first attack "nation-state" structures that stand in their way with soft power, and if that proves insufficient, they resort to military force.

What is a soft power attack? It's about getting the other side to give you what you want on their own. Citizens subjected to soft power attacks are convinced that the nation-state is unnecessary and harmful. The lie is spread that a fully independent economy means "closing off and being cut off from the world." When Mustafa Kemal implemented a fully independent economy, he didn't cut off from the outside world; on the contrary, he increased regional collaborations. Today, China, the world's second-largest economy, has developed economic relations with the entire world while implementing fully independent economic policies.

Those who strive to preserve national culture, especially the language, are labeled as "reactionary" and "extreme nationalist" and are ostracized.

Although all European countries are agricultural and livestock-producing nations, citizens of countries where soft power is applied are led to believe that agriculture and livestock farming are primitive occupations.

While world-renowned pianist Fazıl Sayın had his concerts canceled in European countries because he did not approve of the massacre in Gaza, the idea that religious and ethnic groups can freely express their opinions and engage in acts of violence is constantly promoted in this country where soft power is applied, claiming it is a requirement of democracy.

The most concrete and advanced example of soft power in the world is the FETÖ terrorist organization. It was designed to be an organization that would implement all the wishes and plans of global corporations, the US, and the EU in Turkey and the Middle East with even greater eagerness and willingness than the US itself. When this soft power design was thwarted by the Turkish state, the global cabal resorted to military force. This attempt was also crushed with determination and success by the Republic of Turkey.

The Republic and Turkish-Kurdish Relations

Some retired generals, politicians, and writers state on websites and television that the HDP is necessary for our country. Many of these people may not be pseudo-intellectuals; they may be highly knowledgeable and valuable individuals. However, these people have significant problems with their general perspective and views.

A sophisticated method of using soft power is to identify the immature and unrealistic points in the worldview of trustworthy and respected individuals within a society, and then attempt to manipulate public opinion by adding a lie to their list of truths.

Those who argue that the HDP is necessary in the region claim that the source of terrorism is poverty in the region.

When analyzing PKK terrorism, the assertion that the source of terrorism is poverty in the region is incomplete, flawed, and deliberate. Turks and Kurds are two intertwined peoples who have lived together for nearly a thousand years. Sharing the same goals, feelings, religions, and traditions, Turks and Kurds have lived together in peace and harmony under the same state umbrella for the last thousand years, despite the establishment of different states. The position of Kurds has never been the same as other minorities; Kurds have always been a fundamental founding element. Comparing this situation to minority problems in other countries, particularly Spain and England, is fundamentally wrong and deliberate.

Due to the Republic's economic reforms between 1923 and 1938, which protected the economic interests of the people and garnered admiration worldwide, various groups and individuals who lost their economic privileges launched rebellions against the state. These groups, particularly supported by the British, gained followers by highlighting existing social and economic problems.

The new Republic, independent of foreign dependence in the economy and rejecting the mandate, took significant steps to solve social and economic problems while simultaneously suppressing these counter-revolutionary, artificial religious and ethnic uprisings with harsh military operations until 1938.

Until the 1970s and 1980s, when the US increased its influence in Turkey again, there were no major social problems stemming from religious or ethnic grounds. Starting in 1938, thanks to the state administrators who abandoned the fully independent economic and political understanding of the newly established Republic, Turkish national education, Turkish state administration, and the press and media gradually came under US control between 1938 and 1980. As a result, the elements constituting the social structure began to disintegrate one by one, and finally, with the 1980 coup and the January 24th economic decisions, the 42-year-old economic accumulation of the Republic of Turkey was transferred to global companies under the control of the US and the EU.

Globalization and Turkish-Kurdish Relations

Is the source of PKK terrorism "socio-economic," as many authors have suggested?

Why is the term "socio-economic" used instead of "social and economic"?

The source of PKK terrorism is not the social and economic problems in the region.

The source of PKK terrorism is global corporations and their collaborators who create social and economic problems by controlling the economy, bureaucracy, education, and media, and then use these problems to create artificial terrorist organizations, sustaining them by providing them with all kinds of resources.

The root of the terrorism problem lies in the imposition of an economic order by economic interest groups that have historically manifested themselves first as colonialism, then imperialism, and finally as globalization , across the globe.

While the root of the problem is glaringly obvious, so-called intellectuals, bombarded with information from the West's soft power and unable to criticize the West, claim that the problem stems from the social and economic structure of the region.

And again, the idea is spreading that the existence of a political party that addresses these issues through soft power methods would be beneficial. How can it be explained that a political party with clear ties to a terrorist organization is cooperating with the US, which is the source of all the problems in the region?

The social and economic problems in the region are primarily a consequence, not a cause. They are a result of the forced implementation of globalization. This consequence has, in turn, been used by the global cabal to justify terrorist acts and to enable terrorist organizations to participate in politics.

CONCLUSION

Someone takes you to the North Pole, drops you off inside a building, takes your clothes, breaks the windows, leaves you with cold medicine, and leaves. Helplessly, you take the medicine. Our so-called intellectuals say the solution isn't taking medicine, but repairing the building's windows and finding you clothes. You can't solve any problem with that approach. The problem isn't the building or the clothes. The problem is the power that took you to the poles, broke your windows, took your clothes, and sold you medicine. The solution is to prevent someone from taking you to the poles, to protect your clothes and your building, and to use medicine when necessary.

The source of PKK terrorism is the global power that seizes Türkiye's economic assets, disrupts its social structure, and then offers us suggestions and sells us weapons to solve the problems created by this disruption.

The solution is to break free from the control of the global power that is the source of the problem, and to respond with the necessary firmness to any action taken against the state, with a strong economy and a strong army. And Turkey, with all its ups and downs, has been trying since 2015 to return to this understanding that it abandoned in 1938.
