By paying cash, that's how. Qatar stepped in and said they will pay cash if Turkey does what they want them to do. That meant training, housing and providing convalescent resorts for ISIL terrorists on their territory. It also meant being an intermediary for ISIL's oil, artifact, human organ, synthetic drug and slave trade. What Qatar – the front for US interests – offered was an immediate enrichment personally for Erdogan and his family.
Soon after signing the Turkish Stream deal Russians started noticing Erdogan behaving quite arrogantly: delaying surveys and the final deal, acting as if he was just too important and indispensable. At the time it was just disregarded. But later it was understood that he always acted this way with anyone who he felt was dependent on him. His ego and overblown pride got the best of him with every neighbor.
But there may have been another reason: at the very same time he was courted by Qatar and US. It appears that being courted by so many important parties at once, being offered money on the platter, played a bad joke on this extremely prideful and not very smart man.
It further looks like the opportunity to make a personal fortune off ISIL oil, plus the seeming opening to resurrect the corpse of the Osmanic Khalifate outweighed the opportunity for long-term economic development and the good of his country.
Why do any, even minimal work, if you can simply take away from someone else. Who cares about Turkish people – they could freeze without gas heating and continue existing without electricity! Who cares if tourism operators, hotel owners and agricultural producers go bankrupt without Russian business!
What's more, after Russian sanctions were announced, Qatar and Saudi Arabia immediately piped in, saying they would compensate any losses Turkey may have as a result. I actually doubt they will do as promised. There may be compensation in the beginning, but it's hard to imagine they'll do it year after year. This means that in a year or two Turkey will run out of sponsors, much like Ukraine is running out of them as we speak. At that time, Turkey will either have to go back to Russia and agree on Russian conditions, including those they never intended to accept, or they will be in big trouble. It may be even sooner than that. I also don't know if Erdogan can survive in his post for long. At most I'd give him 2-3 years. At this time, Russia has completely withdrawn her support for Erdogan, and he didn't manage to gain the support of anyone else. Gaddafi comes to mind, who failed to make any friends, flip flopped and tried to sit on several chairs at once. Erdogan seems to follow a similar trajectory. He may be eventually ousted, but it depends on how Russia and US decide to play it long-term.
Ahmet Davutoglu – Erdogan's Gray Cardinal or the Hitler of Turkey?
But who should not be underestimated is his Prime Minister and ideologist of Pan-Turkism, Ahmet Davutoglu. He may be called Erdogan's 'gray cardinal' - the man who really pulls the strings and who serves as that solid decision-maker behind the overly emotional, irrational, ego-driven and flip-flopping Erdogan.
Davutoglu is Neo-Ottoman Pan-Islamist ideologist, who is behind the new strategy of the resurrection of the Ottoman Empire, aka, Osmanic Khalifate.
There is much more to Davutoglu than meets the eye. In 1920s, a non-descript Austrian soldier with funny mustache wrote a book called Mein Kampf while in jail. Many laughed at him then and even more so when he was already the Chancellor of Germany in mid-30s, calling for the creation of the mighty German empire. The rest is history.
Davutoglu was born in Turkey and went to school in Istanbul. He was an academic and political scientist most of his life. What none of his bios mention and what I have discovered by chance is most interesting. According to my sources, he is half Crimean Tartar – I understand it's his mother who is a Crimean Tartar.
This is confirmed by the fact that being PM of Turkey, he is personally in charge of the financial and other support of the Crimean Tartar Mejlis, the extremist organization that recently blew up four strategic electric transformers supplying power to Crimea from Ukraine, thus leaving Crimea and 2.5 mln people without power. Davutoglu is personally in charge of the Turkish Crimea strategy. And the strategy of Turkey towards Crimea is simple: Turkey wants Crimea for itself and this is a big part of its New Ottoman Empire strategy.
The admissions have been made by both Crimean Tartar Mejlis and Turks that Ukraine was preparing to surrender Crimea to Turkey in 2014, after February 22, 2014 Kiev coup. The idea was to give it to Turkey by creating there Crimean Tartar Muslim autonomy under Turkish protectorate. Crimea was supposed to be used as a mega-base for the US/NATO army and navy. Of course, after Russian navy was booted out of its base. Russia taking over Crimea on time prevented this devilish plan from materializing.
As I wrote many times before, the small Crimean peninsula is the Black Sea's strategic point that controls the entire sea. He who controls Crimea, controls Black Sea, as some would say. As far as Black Sea as such goes, it is one of the most important geopolitical assets in the world, where some of the most important historic battles have been fought. Black Sea is our planet's most enclosed and smallest strategic body of water with global importance. Why is it so? We will discuss it in the following Earth Shift Report: BLACK SEA GAMBIT.

There is another possibility for Davutoglu. He may be setting Erdogan up for a fall. Erdogan will be in a precarious situation, after the downing of the Russian jet. He may experience a temporary surge in ratings – this seems to be the case. But long-term this is a road to nowhere. Withdrawal of Russian support and lukewarm support from NATO, EU and US spells all kinds of problems, even with Qatar's money. Turkey may begin experiencing economic problems as a result of Russian bombings of ISIL infrastructure, coupled with sanctions.
Davutoglu could be positioning himself to replace Erdogan when the time is right. He may even be seen as a more desirable leader for Turkey by outside players. Erdogan is dangerous. I think Davutoglu is very dangerous as well.
Neo-Ottoman Pan-Turkism and Resurrection of the Ottoman Khalifate
Here is how Turkey positions itself in the Middle East. While being Muslim, ethnically Turks aren't Arabs. Therefore, they aren't perceived as 'one of us' in the Middle East. After having been under Turks for centuries, Arabs aren't too keen on Turks, regarding them with suspicion. Essentially, Turkey doesn't have any friends and close allies at all. There is no one anywhere who would be a long-term friend and ally and who would regard Turks with any warmth.
However, the Turks and Erdogan now say to other Muslims: you've got your history all wrong. We never oppressed you. We protected you from Western sin and European scourge. We kept you as good Muslims. Our, Pan-Turkish model of Islam is the right one. Join us, help us resurrect Osmanic Khalifate (Ottoman Empire)! Erdogan and its ideologist Davutoglu view the whole Middle East as one big Turkey.
They are Pan-Islamists and view their brand of Islam as the only correct one. They essentially want to rein over all of the Middle East, north Africa, Central Asia, Black Sea, Balkans, Caucasus and Crimea.
Moreover, they make huge efforts to reach into other Muslim areas within Russia, such as Tatarstan (Tatar Autonomous Republic), capital Kazan on Volga River, Kazakhstan, Bashkortostan (Bashkir Autonomous Republic) in the Urals, and certain areas in Siberia. Northern Caucasus, such as Ingushetia, Chechnya and Dagestan are a big risk. They also want to get their hands on Georgia and Armenia in Caucasus, which were under them for centuries, until Russia rescued them. What is called western Armenia is to this day a part of Turkey. Plus Kazakhstan, all four ex-Soviet republics of Central Asia and Azerbaijan. Pressure on Azerbaijan will be enormous as Turkey has infiltrated it very deeply, telling Azerbaijanis they are Turks.
Azerbaijan is at enormous risk of Turkey attempting to use it as a weapon against Russia and Armenia. Azerbaijan is equally dependent on good relations with Russia and Turkey. The hope is that Azerbaijani leader Aliev is smart enough not to succumb to Turkish pressure and do something stupid that would plunge his country into a new conflict.
How Turkey infiltrated post-Soviet space
Here is how Turks have in the past 20 odd years infiltrated all of the above areas in Russia and beyond. Mosques are a big thing, of course. But this is more a recruitment and brainwashing tool used by Al Qaeda and ISIL. Turks do it in a more refined way – I'd say Soros-style – through schools and education.
Turks opened a large number of Islamic schools and universities all over the aforementioned areas. This even happened in Russia's Muslim areas in the '90s, when Russia was especially weak. But when Putin came to power, such Muslim universities, promoting Islam alien to Russia, were outlawed and now they cannot do business on Russian territory (the brand of Islam practiced on Russian territory is a very moderate, cooperative with other religions and peaceful Islam). However, some of the Turkish schools may have survived, having morphed into something else. Under a different name, it is feared, they still function in some Muslim areas, while secretly brainwashing the young generation. Russia is now conducting an inspection of schools in various Muslim areas.
It is worse in post-Soviet republics outside Russia proper. Such Muslim schools still exist there. They offer very good education at no cost, which is why young people flock there. Along with engineering, political or science degrees, they provide falsified history and a large doze of brainwashing that they are all Turks and that their only motherland is Turkey, while Russia has occupied them. It doesn't matter if these people were never a part of Turkey and if for centuries they settled on Russian territory, such as Volga or Urals.
The fear is that Turkey quietly and systematically, knowing Russia was looking the other way for various reasons, implanted a large number of Manchurian Candidates, time bombs of sorts that will create havoc in Russia and surrounding republics from within.
Where was Russia looking, you may ask? Why didn't Russia see it coming? I don't think Russia didn't see it, or understand the nature of the Turks. Warnings have been sounding for a while about the Turks.
But I understand Russian leadership. They wanted to believe that honest, mutually profitable and cooperative relations with Turks were possible. After all, Russia behaved above-board and they expected the same back. Believing in the goodness, or at least in the reason of others, is a healthy way of doing business. Approaching the new deal, such as Turkish Stream, with suspicion and ill will because of past history would lead only to bad business and nothing else. You really want to give your perspective partner the benefit of the doubt.
I also believed Turkey and Erdogan reformed, and you must know I am very far from being naive or inexperienced. I grew up in Odessa, across the Black Sea from Turkey – across the US bases on Turkish territory pointing its missiles at me and my city. I grew up among former Turkish fortresses turned Russian strongholds and legends of Cossacks who defended our land from invaders. I knew all there was to know about Ottoman Empire, what they did to poor residents of nearby Balkans, how they massacred Armenians and Christians.
Moreover, sometimes I would get a vibe, a doubt about Erdogan, but I'd chase it away. He sure was playing his part perfectly, as a willing, open and very reliable partner for Russia. It was the belief of Russian leadership that Turkey could be managed and controlled enough due to how friendly and lucrative the Russian deals were.
But it certainly was an illusion. Turkey was smiling to one's face, while keeping a knife behind their back, ready to strike. Russia did everything in her power to create a good relationship. It's not Russia's fault that Turkey preferred confrontation.
Russia, as the Great Balancer always tries to create and maintain a good and mutually beneficial relationship. The USSR tried to establish a coalition with UK/US when it became clear Hitler would attack European countries one by one. However, they preferred to sign the Munich Collusion pact with Hitler, thinking that would re-direct Hitler to attack Russia. When he had no choice, Stalin signed a non-aggression pact with Hitler. That pact was broken by Hitler on June 22, 1941. In 1945, when Russia, won World War II, as people all over the world still celebrated victory and the dead were still being buried, 'allies' US and UK were already plotting WWIII against the USSR. The only thing that stopped them was Russia obtaining nuclear bomb much sooner than they'd expected.

The real reason Russia agreed to enter WWI. How Russia was swindled of Constantinople and Bosphorus and Dardanelles Straits
World War I was no different. Poor naive Russian Emperor Nikolay II – he was lured into the war he didn't want, then he was betrayed and swindled. After the assassination of the Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand Nikolay II tried for weeks to convince various European powers to make up and end saber rattling, only to see that no one was listening. Russia wasn't a party to any of the arguments between southern and central European countries. Russia had nothing to gain in that war.
Do you know why Russia was needed to be dragged into this conflict? Because without Russia the war wouldn't be a world war. And someone desperately needed it to be the world war in order to re-divide the world. Primarily, there were two powers that wanted that: the British Empire and Germany. However, France also fancied itself as a great power with certain ambitions. Plus, there was Turkey – still Ottoman Empire, albeit diminished thanks to Russia's efforts, who was very interested in re-gaining the territories that gained independence or autonomy with Russia's help.
But Russia still resisted entering WWI. That's when England made an offer Russia couldn't refuse: England promised Russia Bosphorus and Dardanelles Straits after the victory over the German coalition. That was the main reason Russia and Nikolay finally agreed to enter the war that would devastate the country, usher in the bloody revolution of 1917 and subsequent civil war.
Fast- forward to 1917. Russia just had the February Revolution, which was one of the world's first color revolutions. The goal was to depose the Russian Tsar Nikolay II and plunge the country into turmoil with subsequent destruction and disappearance of Russia. On November 7, 1917, Lenin executed October Revolution, aka the Bolshevik Revolution. What was the true purpose and real role of this second of the 1917 revolutions? I will discuss in one of the future Earth Shift Reports how this achieved the opposite of what UK/West intended, thus saving Russia – The Great Balancer – from imminent destruction.
Meanwhile, WWI ended. The Antanta block won and Germany/Austria-Hungary/Turkey block lost. Antanta included UK, US, France and Russia. As a result of WWI, Russia was supposed to get control of the Black Sea Straits, together with Constantinople. In 1916, all 'civilized world,' as they would say today, recognized that straits should belong to Russia.
Then revolution happens and tsar is no more. The young Soviet Russia is fighting to survive. There is not time to think about the straits. UK/US/France conveniently forget their promise.
It is clear to me that neither UK nor any other power ever intended to give Russia the Black Sea straits. Poor Nikolay II was simply duped and then betrayed by his allies in the most devious and brutal manner.
Russia always gets betrayed? Maybe. Russia should take the leaf out of the book of US, UK, or perhaps even Turkey, some suggest. When will Russia become more devious, more calculating and more conniving?
The answer is – never. Like I would never become any of that. If Russia becomes any of the above unsavory things, it won't be Russia any more, nor the Great Balancer, and at that very moment I would stop being Russian. I would never want Russia to behave in any other way. But what Russia needs is to always be on full alert, restoring fully the excellent Soviet intelligence and the army that is simultaneously world's strongest, most scientifically/technologically advanced, and smartest. Together with political, economic and financial sovereignty, all this will ensure that Russia is never swindled again.
Erdogan and Turkey – stepping on Saakashvili and Georgia's rake?
I wrote in one of my Turkey-related articles that the modern great powers want Turkey to be strong but not too strong. The reason for that is Turkey's uniquely important geopolitical position on the cross between Europe, Asia and Africa, plus, its control of Black Sea – Mediterranean straits and closeness to the soft underbelly of Russia and EU. Therefore, the moment Turkey gets carried away, many interested powers act to make sure it gets back into its narrow corridor of allowed behavior.
This is the time to get Turkey back under control. Russia is doing that. It's clear that Turkey will never be supported by NATO in any conflict with Russia. Basically, Turkey has been told to get back in line. While Europeans are too close to the possible conflict and they can't allow Turkey to get out of hand, US is playing its own game – the game that may be subtly setting up US's own allies in Europe and NATO for a fall.
It seems that Turkey was either given a go ahead to down the Russian jet by the US, or Turkey misunderstood the USA's conflicting messages as an encouragement to act recklessly with Russia. Lately, it appears Obama, Kerry and their cronies are so out of their depths that their actions become more and more confused and erratic. USA clearly stopped fully controlling the situation. It appears they are jumping at everything that comes their way from various directions, attempting to stop the avalanche.
Confusion or a well-hidden and well-executed intent, USA is the world's manipulator extraordinaire. The naive Saakashvili of Georgia once paid a dear price for 'misinterpreting' Condoleezza Rice's 'nod' and attacking S. Ossetia, resulting in Georgia losing 1/3 of its territory and his being ousted from power, being investigated by Interpol and losing his country's citizenship. If Erdogan doesn't stop on time, he may be heading in the same direction.
Either way, Turkey was basically used as a weapon against Russia, and it wasn't the first time. Perhaps it was a test, how far will Russia go. Turkey and Erdogan are being treated here as something expendable – a very typical Anglo-American approach. Erdogan was in the situation when if he succeeded in his scheme, he would have shared the spoils with the US. But if he failed, it would be 100% his fault. In that case, speaking the language of spies, he would be disavowed.
On 08/08/2008 Saakashvili fell into the same trap. He either misunderstood American encouragement or was given order and then US simply disavowed him when he started a failed war in S. Ossetia.
Erdogan is in a similar situation. He thinks he is the tail wagging the stupid dog, while he may in fact be that silly dog, being wagged by a much smarter tail.

The volatile issue of the Black Sea Straits – Can Turkey close Bosphorus and Dardanelles?
So, Soviet Russia was weakened after WWI, the two 1917 revolutions and the subsequent bloody civil war, which was (as Russian geopolitical author Nikolay Starikov proves) ignited and financed by UK/US and possibly others, from both ends. Military help, weapons and financing were given to both opposing parties – the Reds and the Whites. Sabotage was also on both sides. Why? In order to ensure a mutual destruction by the two opposing factions. In other words – Russians killing Russians and destroying their own country in the process. Brilliant, isn't it? And does this remind us of what is happening in Ukraine today?
The weakened Russia never requested what was promised and what was rightfully hers: the control of the Bosphorus and Dardanelles Straits and Constantinople.
Istanbul remained in Turkey's hands. It has to be noted that as a result of WWI, three empires disintegrated: Ottoman Empire, Austria-Hungary Empire and the biggest of them, the Russian Empire. This is what conventional history tells us. In reality, the truth is a quite a lot different when it concerns Russia, but that will be discussed in another Earth Shift Report.
Ottoman Empire was no more and Turkey became weakened beyond repair after WWI. In fact, it was UK that carved out and divided up the former Ottoman Empire's territories willy-nilly. This division, performed in order to weaken both Turkey and various warring factions caused, among others, for the Kurds to be divided among four countries. I discuss the issue of the Kurds in ESR5: SYRIA GAME CHANGER. Armenians lost a large chunk of their ancestral lands, which remained on Turkish side. This territory is now virtually referred to as 'Western Armenia.'
Of course, willy-nilly isn't the word here – it was done with full knowledge and anticipation of the tensions it would create in all these newly formed countries. When leaving, British always tried to leave as much built-in havoc as possible as their last revenge for losing their, once largest, global empire. Recall how India was split into India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka and what came out of it.
Yet, Turkey was still left the control of the straits. Why? Because it was understood by the UK and others in the West that Turkey could now be manipulated into becoming a tremendous weapon against Russia. Turkey/Ottoman Empire was only in the past few centuries manipulated multiple times into conflicts with Russia. In fact, Russia was at war with Turkey 7 times. This is second only to Poland, the only country with which Russia was at war 10 times. Poland is yet another example of the overblown local ego and ambitions, skillfully manipulated by outside forces to pit two close peoples against each other.
After its division and in its substantially weakened state, Turkey could be manipulated into doing someone else's bidding even better than ever before. Since then, Turkey was kept in a relative ok state, allowing it some development and a certain amount of prosperity, while keeping it sufficiently down and under control.
In 1920s-30s the young Soviet Russia had to deal with many overwhelming internal problems. Since UK didn't achieve what they wanted – the ultimate breakup of Russia, getting Russia mired with various problems, sabotage, economic and political struggles was plan B. That was achieved. Russia of 1920s-30s was too weak and already too stretched out by constant international economic and financial sabotage to be able to control the Black Sea straits, to which she had no land access. All Russia could do was insist on a very solid international agreement governing the straits, making sure Turkey was kept under strict supervision to prevent the straits' closure on a whim.
In 1936 the Montreux Convention governing the Regime of the Straits was signed. It gave Turkey control over the Bosporus Strait, the intermediate Marble Sea, and the Dardanelles and regulated the transit of naval warships. Turkey was charged with regulating free passage of all ships. Turkey has very little say in whether the straits can be closed. There are provisions regulating the closure only in case of a direct attack on Turkey or in case of a war.
In reality, even during WWII Turkey was unable and unwilling to close the straits. In opinion, for fear of a direct attack against Turkey by Russia, if they did so.
The recent downing of the Russian Su-24 jet by Turkey and the subsequent erratic behavior by Erdogan and Turkey's top led some to speculate that Turkey might close the straits, blocking Russian Black Sea Fleet. There was a tense moment when Turkey held up for several hours the Russian civilian, as well as war ships, exiting into the Mediterranean for Syria duty.
Another tense moment was when one of the Russian war ships was at one point approached closely by two Turkish subs. Whatever Russians did, whatever warning they had sent to the Turks, worked magic, because the subs disappeared and never came back. (Incidentally, this reminds me of an older story about a similar incident – you'll be able to read it below.)
After the aforementioned incidents, the hype in Western media, including 'alternative' media began immediately, suggesting that Turkey began the blockade of the Russian Black Sea Fleet and that the war was imminent. Do you notice by the way, how easily and even happily so many out there LOVE to proclaim that war is coming?
See PREDICTIONS for my view on the prospects of a world war and on how I see our common future unfolding.
Turkey hurried to explain that there was an unusual amount of traffic in the straits at that particular moment since they are so narrow, and that they didn't mean any trouble. The reason for such hurried explanation is simple: Turkey has no right by international law to meddle with the straits. Causing trouble this way tenses international relations. European powers, signatories to the 1936 treaty, can't afford any more tension with Russia. Here it's out of USA's hands (for once!) since USA wasn't a party to the agreement. Europeans had put pressure on Turkey to toe the line.
Nevertheless, a few non-government, but high profile voices, sounded from Russia just in case. “Oh, too narrow, huh? Shouldn't we send a few missiles there to widen them a bit?” At the same time, Russians started bringing up the issue of Bosphorus and Dardanelles, together with Constantinople ownership.
Both of these hints worked their magic. Provocations with the straits stopped. After some initial huffing and puffing, Turkey has been on its best behavior in the straits.
This again illustrates my earlier point: Turkey is being kept on a pretty tight leash. Turkey is only allowed so much wiggle room and a narrow tunnel within which they can maneuver. Since Turkey has a long history of dangerous and unpredictable behavior, straying off this prescribed path will always cause quick international reaction with necessary course correction.
Can Russia demand Black Sea Straits and Constantinople back?
There are voices in Russia that they should be demanded back, per WWI agreement. Certainly, this would have been a restoration of historic justice. For one, Istanbul would revert back to its Orthodox name of Constantinople, and the celebrated Sofia Cathedral would again become the seat of Orthodox Christianity. To be sure, all surrounding countries, such as Greece, Bulgaria, Serbia, Moldova, etc., would love for that to happen.
But Russian government won't do it. The voices raising this issue in Russia are basically reactions to the adversarial actions by Erdogan. There is no basis in reality of returning Constantinople, unless Turkey really loses it and begins an open war with Russia. Then the story would be different and the strait issue would be brought up for real. EU understands that. I dare say even US understands that. This is why they will have to rein on on Turkey ever so secretly but resolutely. Returning Constantinople and the straits, which were once Greek, may be the sacred dream of the people of the Balkans, but US/NATO cannot afford for the straits to fall into the hands of Russia. This would mean the strengthening of Russia they don't want.
This is why they will now have to pressure Turkey into curbing ambitions and falling back in line.

The 1992 Black Sea Straits story
To further illustrate the character of the Turks, this story is very useful. I heard this story from one of the former officers on that ship, who witnessed the whole thing.
The USSR fell apart in 1991, but for two years after the Russian Black Sea Fleet ships continued to sail under the Soviet flag. Just imagine this limbo! The fleet sailed under the flag of the country that didn't exist any more! Surreal, isn't it? But it took time to transition, and frankly, I believe at that time the break up wasn't take seriously yet. I strongly suspect that Yeltsin and Russian command thought at the time that they could re-unite the country back again soon, based on different principles other than communism. Although many call Yeltsin traitor, in that I differ with Starikov and others. I am convinced that at the time Yeltsin honestly thought that he would be able to bring the entire country back together, perhaps under a new flag.
That was naive, of course – and Yeltsin was supremely naive in the ways of the West, just like Gorbachev. Before he knew it, US, CIA, UK and Western banksters manipulated his ego and other vices and confused the situation to such degree that all Russia could do was keep her head barely above water for the next 9 years.
So, the Russian destroyer arrived to the straits with the Soviet flag. Turks decided that Russia, their undeclared eternal enemy, was now weak enough for them to flex their muscles. Several Turkish ships lined up across the narrow strait, blocking it and not letting the Russian war ship pass. Since the massive destroyer was going full steam ahead, the inertia could have resulted in a catastrophe. The captain made a quick decision and without batting an eye, ordered to prepare the main caliber, targeting the Turks. The Turkish ships scattered immediately and disappeared into harbor. The Russian Black Sea Fleet in those difficult and confusing times passed the test.
To me, it wasn't Turkey acting of its own volition, although Turks has been a known provocateur. I ma confident that Turkey as a member of NATO was told to test how far Russians would, therefore whether Russian Fleet was ready to be dismembered or not. Turned out, it wasn't YET. The dismemberment of the Black Sea Fleet began later, together with the betrayal of Crimea. The fleet was divided between Russia and Ukraine in mid-90s. Around the same time, Crimea was confirmed as part of Ukraine, over overwhelming objections of the population. And the rest is history.
Let me repeat again, that if people still have not learned from all this forever, then they deserve anything that befalls them. History repeats itself with frightening regularity. Unfortunately, people's memory is extremely weak. Constant manipulation and re-writing of history causes humans to forget. This create a constant vicious circle of karma, in which humans brew.
This is why the real truth and bringing to light all the monumental manipulation, lies and distortions is so important. This is why I write my Earth Shift Reports. Please make sure you pass the links to the main Earth Shift Report page and to the payment page for this report to everyone you know. Please encourage people to contribute what they can and learn the truth that affects all of us!
Deja Vu: Who benefits from the destruction of Turkish – Russian Relations
In this Earth Shift Report we have touched on a number of very important issues surrounding Turkey, Syria, ISIL and the Middle East. We discussed the hidden motivations and clandestine games of major global and regional players and we uncovered the truths that are so important to understand for humans to move forward. But what needs to be said in the end is this: there is always the ultimate benefactor out there, someone who is pulling the strings, whether the little puppets know it or not.
These puppeteers rarely show their identity, but if we follow the trail, we'll know who the ultimate benefactor is. In this case, the ultimate benefactor is the United States of America. There is no one else in the world who benefits from the entire Turkish mess as much. The runner up is Qatar, but not nearly as much.
Qatar, together with Turkey and EU, are all being used in this game. These puppets are allowed different degrees of independence and wiggle room. But they are still caught on the string.
Only an absolute moron with zero understanding of either politics or economics would destroy in one fell swoop what Russian and Turkish people have been building for years: close and prosperous trade, strategic energy partnership, booming tourism, visa-free regime and Eurasian cooperation. Erdogan is an impossibly dense ego maniac, or he has been artfully manipulated. My bet, it's actually both. I don't feel sorry for Erdogan – one day he'll get what he deserves. I feel sorry for the millions of Turks and Russians who fell prey to the results of this manipulation.
This is round two of what had happened to Ukraine. The idiocy, misinterpreted priorities and corruption of the sold-out elites of Ukraine caused the catastrophe for the 40 million people, plunging in chaos a huge landmass located in the geographic center of Europe.
Whether we are talking Ukraine, Turkey, EU, or any other place, there is only one way to stop manipulation by foreign interests: consciousness on our planet needs to rise enough for the people of all countries to wake up and stop allowing themselves be treated as sheeple.
P.S. As I finished writing this report, new events began unfolding.
Kerry's visit to Moscow 12/15/15
Today, US State Secretary John Kerry is meeting with Russian FM Sergey Lavrov in Moscow. The agenda should evolve around Syria and Turkey as well as any possible ground troops coalition. We'll see what comes out of it, but US is concerned about Turkish behavior and probably wants to re-assure Russia. Additionally, France has raised discontent as to NATO/US unwillingness to work with Russia. As I predicted in Explosive Consequences of Turkey Downing Russian Su-24 Jet, there is a rift forming within NATO. Kerry seeks to smooth out this rift by perhaps offering some sort of compromise with Russia. US is also very worried that Russia is making such strides against ISIL and they want to make sure their pocket 'moderate' terrorists are spared. Finally, there should be some sort of haggling about ground troops, who sends how many and where to do what, and how all this is coordinated. Nether Russia, nor EU are eager to commit their ground troops.
I hope Lavrov brings up anti-ISIL op in Iraq and Libya and negotiates that as well, as a package deal. Kerry may get an audience with Putin as well.
STAY TUNED FOR THE NEXT ESR!
ESR7: TURKISH CONUNDRUM will be very closely connected to the upcoming ESR: BLACK SEA GAMBIT, which was supposed to come out now as ESR7. But due to an enormous volume of important events and crises involving Turkey, I have decided to postpone Black Sea Gambit till January. I am expecting new explosive developments around the smoldering with change Black Sea area by January, so it is wiser to wait in order to catch the freshest important intel.
Just some of what is brewing in the Black Sea region: We have anti-NATO uprising developing in Montenegro, which may ignite much of the Balkans. We have ongoing anti-NATO, pro-Russian protests in Bulgaria. We also have a long-term crisis with mass maidan-like protests in Moldova. At the same time, crisis in Ukraine is widening, while the situation around Crimea is very tense as blockade continues, with Turkish extemists Gray Wolves and Crimean Tartar Mejlis stirring trouble and threatening new terror acts. There are warnings of Turkish/Mejlis terrorists attempting to poison potable water in Crimea. Odessa is stealthily being prepared as Ukraine's Plan B and Pridnestrovie is quiet on the surface, but in both a dangerous storm is brewing. In Caucasus: Armenia just had a national referendum bound to affect much of the country's future; Azerbaijan will be getting brutal pressure from Turkey to re-start a war with Karabakh/Armenia in order to tie up Russia, and Georgia is caught between a rock and a hard place, with questionable future ahead.
