Jewish Supremacy

The west sanctions Russia for invading Ukraine.  

Why are they not imposing sanctions on Israel?

The brutal subjugation of Palestinians, justified by a toxic ideology of Jewish supremacy and racism, will only be halted by the kind of sanctions campaign mounted successfully against the apartheid regime in South Africa. 

Short of that, Israel will be a despotic theocracy.

Political Disaster

To live in the illusion of the intellectually challenged wealthy elitists remains a political disaster in this province until the people wake up and realize the magician has been putting on a sleight-of-hand show. 

Time to re-orient ourselves to actual critical thinking as a major part of our decision-making again, otherwise the tricksters win and we all lose at the hands of the tyrannical minority.

Real Madrid in the 1980s

Living in Turkey, in the mid 1980s, we use to get the European games live. Best teams back then or the ones that made it thru the elimination rounds were Real Madrid, Juventus, PSV Eindhoven, and Goteberg. 

You might remember, the English teams were banned from European soccer due to the Liverpool incident were the fans attacked the Italian visitors and the wall collapsed to kill a lot of them. 

I’ll have to find who the Italian team was, I think it was Juventus or AC Milan. 

Anyway, back then it was nice watching the games, it was always on Wednesday nights. My favourite team was Real Madrid.  

Also, back then there was only one channel, so you knew everyone in Istanbul were watching the same thing on TV. 

If you put your head outside your window, you would hear the echo coming from all the sounds of the TVs on. I remember that. It was cool. 

Life was more simple.

Durrusehvar Sultan

https://www.firstpost.com/living/durrushehvar-the-resolute-princess-how-the-ottoman-dynasty-heir-brought-style-reform-to-nizams-hyderabad-7941381.html/amp

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dürrüşehvar_Sultan

Despite being a member of Ottoman royal family, she refused to be buried in Turkey, since she was upset that the Turkish Government refused her father's burial in Istanbul in 1944.

The Republic of Turkey was very cruel to the Ottoman dynasty, Thanks to the first rulers’ legacy.

Bending Over of the Ottomans by the Imperialists

I don’t buy the argument or at least the down playing of Erdogan’s leadership by all the western writers/journalists.  I don’t buy it. 

He was elected numerous times by the majority of the citizens of Turkey. Why does the west keep referring and thinking and believing Erdogan is a lessor ruler, than say anyone of his counterparts? Is it because the west cannot put a puppet candidate to win against him? And just concludes, Erdogan is a dictator. Where is the proof that he is? 

When the French declared marshal law for the uprising and used excessive force, not  one western nation said that France was going over board beating/killing the immigrants. 

When Turkey declared marshal law because bombs were dropped onto the parliament, everyone of the western nations said, Erdogan is going over board in arresting so many military staff/reporters/judges etc. 

The double standard is obvious.  

I’m more liberal than most Turks, and it would piss me off if the same ruler kept winning elections. And I know many people in Turkey hate that he keeps winning, but living outside of Turkey and always reading negative comments about Erdogan and his party, really makes me say, “I hope he keeps winning to piss off the western rulers who donot know how to deal with him.”

I strongly feel he will win 2023, and the last few years of his rule will be melancholy as Turkey will wonder who will lead them next. Same mentality ruler like Erdogan (I hope so) or a “yes boss” man like most all of the leaders before Erdogan, even Ataturk was a “yes boss” man to the Imperialists.  

Yes boss, I’ll get rid of Islam. 

Yes boss, I’ll get rid of the Arabic writing. 

Yes boss, I’ll get rid of the Adhan. 

Yes boss, I’ll make sure women who attend university cannot wear the hijab. 

Yes boss, I’ll hang all the imams who go against western values. 

Yes boss, I’ll eliminate 1,000 Arabic words and put French words in our language, to move us away from the Arabs/Islam and closer to the west. 

Thought to share, I’m just thinking out loud, it will be another short book I’m working on. The title will be, The Bending Over of the Ottomans by the Imperialists. 

Edirne Kapi Cemetery

My mom passed away in October 2019, she wanted to be buried in the same grave as her father and mothers. Plus, her older sister is in the same grave.   

Her family’s grave is in Istanbul, neighborhood is called Edirne Kapi, meaning, Adrian’s Door.  

The walls of Constantinople had multiple entry points into the city, and each entrance had a name. Her parents are buried at the outskirts of Adrian’s Door. 

In Islam, the deceased is not placed in the coffin, in the grave. What they do is, the deceased is brought to the grave site in the coffin, then taken out of the coffin, to be placed deep at the fooor of the grave, only in a white shroud. The body decomposes very fast in the grave. 

Therefore, in Istanbul, you are allowed to bury a person in the same grave every seven years.  In that one grave, my grandfather, grandmother, and aunt are resting. Probably, many other relatives that I do not know of.    

Well my mom wanted to be buried in that grave, but it did not happen.  

She is burried at the gravesite at yellowhead, exactly at the corner of 97 street and yellowhead. The Turkish portion of the cemetery is at that corner. 

Eski Imaret Mosque / Church

I was born and lived the first seven years of my life, next door, literally, a few houses away from the church / mosque named, Eski Imaret.

As a little kid I have played inside it hundreds of times. I use to play while the older people prayed. It is so nice inside it. They say there are graves under it, and you sure can feel something there. 

Go there, if you ever make it to Istanbul. 

It is about a 30 walk from the Blue Misque.

Russia and Ukraine War

I was doing some research.  

We are always lied to.  

Russia is not like USA. USA goes out of its territory to start wars. Irak, Syria, Libya, Vietnam, Afghanistan etc.  all ended in disaster for those nations, millions of deaths.  

Russia has been invaded by the west for hundreds of years, therefore, all the nations west of Russia are her buffer nations, Poland, Ukraine, Belarus, Romania, Macedonia etc. and these nations came out of the collapsed Soviet Union.  

The buffet nations act as protection to Russia against the west. 

Now Putin advised NATO and USA to not initiate or push Ukraine to join NATO or any other alliance with USA or the west.  

What did NATO do or USA? They were confronting Russia by talking about a military base or bases in Ukraine.  

Now Putin is no angel, and war is not the answer. But we are being fed wrong news. It is again the USAs fault that war began.  

USA could have easily said, no to bases and ended it without war months ago.  

Russia is protecting herself from the west.  

At least, I read it this way.

Fatih area of Istanbul

It is interesting that this Arab person bashed Erdogan as almost all Arabs I meet love him.  

He must be a left leaning person. Because most of the lefts do not like Erdogan in Turkey, it is the right wing, plus, older folks, and religious ones that keep him in power. 

Turkey, under Erdogan does not have a good record in jailing so many people.

I have come across many videos on YouTube about people who were jailed for months and years, without cause. They ended up obviously losing their jobs, homes etc. 

What is that phrase, power corrupts and too much corrupts without prejudice. 

One thing I like about Erdogan is, and you might not agree with me was his policy about the Syrians. 

I’m from Fatih, Istanbul. I was born only a block away from the Fatih Mosque, where Fatih Sultan Mehmet’s tomb is at. I tell you this to give you an idea where it is, in case you have been to that area. 

Well that area of Fatih is almost all people from the province of Siirt. That is where my grandparents are from. After WWI, many people from Siirt settled, out of that faraway city (Siirt)  to Istanbul, to find better employment. Similar to Newfoundlanders coming to Alberta for work. 

Anyway, people from Siirt are mostly Turkish Arabs. Because, sorry, this is heading somewhere, but during the Ottoman Empire days, people from El-Sham area, meaning Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria area, settled in Siirt area, because there was wars down in El-Sham. 

So, my ancestors are Arabs from south Syria area, could be Jerusalem area.

But, the Syrian refugees due to the recent wars have settled all around Fatih. Now, that area of Istanbul is full of Arabs. The signs on shops are Turkish, English, and Arabic. Just interesting how my neighbourhood has changed, again it could be worse for some, but good for others, as these people needed a new place to live. 

I guess it is good and bad, I just liked that Turkey took in 4 million plus refugees, while all of Europe complained that 1 million are coming in. 

Also, Turkey taking so many refugees is due to the fact that Arabs and all the other areas around Turkey, even in the Balkans still see Turkey as the grandchildren of the Ottomans, if anyone can save us, it is them, they think. 

Anyway, I wrote too much. 

Take care,

New immigrants into Canada

Yes, better decisions should be made about immigrants coming into Canada

I get the understanding that some immigrants only get in because they have the money to show the Canadian authorities, and I believe it is still a points system.  

Therefore, they get certain points for the money. Then certain points for education, and certain points for age etc. and total points, say, over 75, gives them the green light to come in. 

However, they should be screened at the last stage better. 

New immigrants bashing Canada, and hearing about this, makes me believe that they still donot see the benefit in living in our beautiful country. Give them time, they will learn to love it.  

Take care,

Garage Sizes

Never understood why some individuals drive those big trucks?!?!? They don’t fit in high percentage of garages. 

I like those four door jeeps. Always liked the jeep YJ as a young man, but never had the opportunity to own one. 

I would like to buy one of those four door kinds of jeep YJs now as my financial situation is better than when I was a young man. But, I will not buy, as they will not fit inside my garage.  

I have learned to buy cars. 

About ten years ago I bought an Acura 3.2 TL. It was a nice car, but it was a snug fit in my garage. I sold it about a month after buying it. 

Now I only buy mid sized cars.  

Currently I have a 2008 Honda Civic hybrid, best car I owned, and it fits nicely in my garage, with plenty of room on both sides of it to move around. 

The wife has a 2005 Honda CRV, it also fits nicely in the garage.

Both vehicles fit perfectly inside our garage. 

I guess the lesson here is, make sure your vehicle fits in your garage or parking stall, before buying it. 

Live and learn ehh. 

Ottomans, one of the longest lasting empires

https://247tempo.com/the-longest-lived-empires-in-history/11/

Good article about empires, my beloved, the Ottomans were number 26, a bit lower than I thought. 

However, the Ottomans lasted very long in a transitional time in Europe, Middle East, and Western Asia, where there were multiple strong other armies. 

Plus, more importantly, there were multiple nationalistic desires within the empire, wanting to break it apart, to create their own country.  

Lastly, that goddamn oil being found in Irak, Arabia, southern Syria, prior to WWI, made the Ottomans a victim at the hands of the imperial powers that wanted to break her apart and take the oil and lands. 

The Ottomans suffered much.  

I mean it.

Tormented Heart

Sultan Suleiman’s multiple sons were growing rapidly, and getting ready to take over the throne from their father. 

The sultan was witnessing the increasing tension between the male heirs and their mothers, which concerned and feared him. Therefore, due to the tensions, Suleiman did not leave Istanbul for long periods, as he believed his throne would be in jeopardy, and surely, he would be deposed. 

Suleiman had many concubines, and of the many, two of the females were the most important, since they provided the ruler with male heirs to his throne. 

The first woman to bear a male child was Mahidevran Gulbahar, who gave birth to Prince Mustafa, the eldest child of Suleiman. Mahidevran was of Albanian origin; she came from a wealthy family, and joined the sultan’s harem. The birth of Mustafa was particularly important, because he was the first child of Suleiman. 

The second female who bore male heirs for Sultan Suleiman was Hurrem Haseki. This young beautiful woman was a captured slave girl from the southeast section of Poland, where the country bordered Ukraine. The following were the sons of Hurrem, they were: Mehmet, Beyazit, Selim, and Cihangir. 

Hurrem and Suleiman were madly in love with one another. The tormented heart of Suleiman was very much evidenced by everyone, after the death of Hurrem. Furthermore, after her death, he lived an isolated life at the Topkapi Palace; the home of the sultanate family, in Istanbul. 

Could the torment he was living through, during the latter years of his life be due to another reason? 

It sure looked like some of the decisions made by Suleiman tormented him greatly, one of them being the order given to have his eldest son executed. 

Please order your copy, thank you.

The Obsession

The 5,000 janissaries were accompanying Sultan Mehmet deep into the capital city. 

The marching band kept playing their music proudly, while the janissaries stomped and chanted in complete unison, the words of the song:

“O glorious army! O great soldier, Come to the glorious land of bastion smashers. A shield in one hand, and the dagger in the other, Let us advance to the border of death, O gallant soldier. May everything be victorious in this land, Chanting the prayer, Allah is the greatest. Allah is the greatest, Allah is the greatest, Let our army be immortally victorious!” 

The final destination - Hagia Sophia Church. 

Purchase and experience the love and respect Sultan Mehmet had for the divine capital city of Constantinople. 

ENJOY!

The Proud Stand

Emperor Constantine looked at his guests sitting around the imperial rectangle table, smiled dryly, and said softly, “greetings everyone.” 

The guests leaned forward toward the emperor. The ruler continued, “Madams, sirs, illustrious captains of the army, and our most Christian friends, I bid you all welcome to my table this evening.” 

He cleared his throat, then continued loudly, “We are here today to enjoy a delicious meal and drink. Before beginning to eat, I want to bring to everyone’s attention that the hour of battle is approaching. I want to make it clear to everyone, we, the people of Constantinople, must stand together with firm resolution. Remember that we have always fought with glory against the enemies of Christ. Now the defence of your fatherland will begin, the infidel, evil, and hideous Ottoman Turks are preparing for a siege of our city, once again.” 

The Proud Stand by the last emperor of the Byzantine Empire is exciting; this novelette tells the tale of the last confrontation between the Byzantine and the Ottoman Empires. 

Purchase the book today. ENJOY!

Black Tent

He was untouchable, revered, and feared. But, once looking past his mighty title, name, and qualifications, study shows that he made questionable decisions, one of them being the decision to order the execution of his eldest son - Mustafa.This story is a fictional telling of what happened when Mustafa rode into the Ottoman Empire’s campsite, and entered the shadowy big black tent, where his sultan father was waiting for him. What I will do is take you back to October 6, 1553, and bring forward previously unknown and intriguing events from that day, told in a fictional telling.

The Devoted Call for Hope

Why are you writing this story?There are lessons to be learned from the interactions of a sultan and his children, particularly, the sultan’s interaction with his eldest son. Plus, it is still a relevant story even after 500 years have passed, and important lessons can be filtered out from the interaction between a father and his son.Surely, this relationship between Sultan Suleiman and his eldest son Prince Mustafa was not learned in schools of the western world, whether, elementary, junior high, or high school. I should know, I went through the education system and the information written in this story was not thought. Granted, if one were to attend a History Faculty at any University, surely, one would expect that parts of this story, would have been thought in the program. But, I strongly suspect that the part about Prince Mustafa being executed by his biological sultan father would not be in the literature, maybe only a line or two, at the most would be there. Furthermore, the urge to write this story now is due to wanting to relay the information that is still an intriguing topic of conversation in other parts of the world, while in the western world, it is a topic that is seldom talked about, discussed, or studied. Moreover, it will be beneficial to write a non-fiction story that will educate and entertain the esteemed readers, and introduce a high percentage of them, to a part of the world that they might not know much about. But, I have to clarify the above statement of, a non-fiction story; this story is not entirely non-fiction. The story is a non-fiction telling of the Ottoman Empire, until the tail-end of Lawmaker Sultan Suleiman’s time, in other words, chapters one to five (and chapter seven) are true and well researched telling of the empire. Therefore, everything written up until chapter five is accurate and a fact. Granted, it is a strong statement, which could be retorted by a reader, with one line that could show something other than what was written in this story. However, I am confident of the truth, and welcome any critique, therefore, bring on the criticism. However, most everything in chapter six will be a fictional telling of what happened when Prince Mustafa rode into the Ottoman Empire’s campsite, and entered the shadowy big black tent, where his sultan father was waiting for him in, therefore, the readers will have an entertaining, interesting, and surprising chapter. But please, I urge you to not peek ahead. Therefore, to the question of, why are you writing this story? The answer is that I feel compelled to tell this fascinating tale to readers, who surely want a story about intrigue, manipulation, and refined culture from days long forgotten.In this story, I will explain the life of Prince Mustafa and the betrayal charges made against him by his sultan father. Also, the part where Mustafa enters the tent has been speculated by most everyone, but never fully known; what really happened inside the black tent? The factual answer is this, no one knows what happened. What I will do is take you back to October 6, 1553 and bring forward previously unknown and intriguing events from that day, told in a fictional telling. Purchase the book and take a ride to a different world.Thank you and take good care,

Turkey and Walmart and Costco

Turkey is actually a country that does not need USA any longer, before yes they needed their help, but now, less. 

USAs foreign policy has pushed Turkey to get closer with her neighbours. 

Like what is going on? here is a comparison of a recent transaction between the counties. 

USA (Walmart) does not deliver the jets Turkey bought and paid a deposit on, as written and promised in the contract signed. And when Turkey goes across the street to Russia (Costco) to buy them, Turkey is the bad guy?!?

No way,

Annesinin Vasiyeti

Is yerinde calistigim bir arkadasimin annesi oldu 10 sene once.  Kanada’da dogmus Hindistan’li arkadas.  

Annesinin vasiyeti, oldukten sonra yakip kullerini Pacific denizine dokun demis arkadasa. 

Bu arkadas, genc iken ailece Vancouver’da yasarlarmis ve picnic yaparlarmis denizin kenarinda. Annesi bu yeri cok sevmis.  

Tabii sonra Edmonton’a tasinmislar seneler once ve annesi olmus. 

Arkadas ile bindik arabaya cuma aksami ve Edmonton’dan Vancouver’a araba ile gittik. Tam 15 saat’de vardik.  

Annesinin kulleri bir kavanozun icinde arka koltukta. 

Tabii 30 sene olmus Vancouver’dan Edmonton’a tasinali, ve o denizin kenarindaki picnic yeri biraz degismis.  Cok degismis, heryer ev dolmus.  

Ama yinede buldu picnic yerini ve tam gunesin batisinda, annesinin kullerini denize doktu. Arkadas hickira hickira agliyordu.  Uzun sure deniz kenarinda oturdu cocukcagiz. 

Cok etkilenmistim hatirliyorum. 

Hayat boyle olsa gerek.  

Yasadigimiz gibi oluyoruz.
