Happy Thanksgiving to All in the U.S. and in the World...
...and look around and count all the blessing and thank for all that...
***
Thank that you were not in Romania when Nicola Ceausescu was the apparatchik and the oligarch and the leader...When people were starving and he built an opulent palace for himself... Check the palace above and be thankful...
Be thankful that you were not in Iraq... when the Western powers attacked the country... and when Saddam was around...
Thank that you are not in Iraq or Syria right now...where the Islamist Jihadists are beheading and murdering and massacring minorities ... Christians and Muslims alike...Check one of the destroyed palaces of Saddam and be thankful...
Ak Saray - Turkish for "White Palace" - boasts more than 1,000 rooms.
...And the latest blasphemous and sinful luxury that the Turkish president has built for himself by taxpayers money...
It has 1000 rooms... and luxurious halls and costly furnishings...
It is just like from the 1001 Iraqi Nights...
...And here he is...
Unabashed... not ashamed... that the people are hungry...
He is dreaming of a Turkish Empire... just like the one they used to have... Ottoman-Turkic Empire...
But read below... Check the history of the Ottoman-Turks... and be thankful that you are 12 000 km away... safe in the U.S.
Now that he has his place... which he has called the White Palace (paralleling the White House)... he is teaching all how to behave... Check his comments about the U.S......
"Why is somebody coming to this region from 12,000
kilometers (7,000 miles) away? I want
you to know that we are against impertinence, recklessness and endless demands," he told a
group of businessmen in the
Turkish capital, Ankara.
"We will resolve our problems not with the help of a 'superior mind'
but with the help of our people," Erdogan stated.
"We will resolve our problems not with the help of a 'superior mind'
but with the help of our people," Erdogan stated.
Now check his comments about women...
Erdogan also said feminists did not grasp the importance of motherhood in Islam.
"In the workplace, you cannot treat a man and a pregnant woman in the same way," Erdogan said, according to the Anatolia news agency.
Women cannot do all the work done by men, he added, because it was against their "delicate nature".
"Our religion
regards motherhood very highly. Feminists don't understand
that, they reject motherhood," he charged, adding that women needed equal respect rather than equality.
Erdogan with his new White palace... thinks he has the might and he has the brain too to teach the U.S. and women... what to do...
Now read below how Hitler admired Kemal Ataturk, the founder of "modern"Turkey... on which Erdogan is trying to built his empire...
Historians may
credit Mussolini with inspiring Hitler's rise to power, but
the despot called a different contemporary his 'shining star.'
Adolf Hitler's obsessions, for he was a man prone to unhealthy fixations, were dangerous for the world--whether with himself, with art school, with his dreams of grandeur, with Eva Braun, with his hatred of Jews--or, more obscurely, with Turkey.
To say that the roots of the Third Reich's rise have been thoroughly examined would be an understatement. Yet one element of Hitler's power grab has largely been neglected--the importance of Turkey and Mustafa Kemal Ataturk (or as Hitler called him, his "shining star") on the Fuhrer's thinking.

Turkey has been allied with Germany
for the TWO WORLD WARS... Imagine if the Germans began to celebrate their invasion if Poland... !
If you find that abhorrent... continue and read below ...
ADOLF Hitler wanted no mercy shown as Germany
invaded Poland in 1939, telling his generals the Death's Head units were being sent to Poland to kill every Pole - men, women and children.
"Only in such a way will we win the lebensraum (territory for expansion) that we need," he said.
"Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?" Who indeed?
"Only in such a way will we win the lebensraum (territory for expansion) that we need," he said.
"Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?" Who indeed?
Hitler was referring to the slaughter of up to
1.5 million Armenians in a process that began on April
24, 1915, on the eve of the landing of the Anzacs ( Australian and New Zeland) at Gallipoli.
The imminence of the Allied invasion in the Dardanelles triggered the order that went out that night in the Ottoman capital of Constantinople (now Istanbul) to round up the Armenian intellectuals - professors, community leaders, lawyers and political activist... who were taken away and secretly killed, followed by orders to deport Armenian from Anatolia into the deserts of Syria...
Within days reports had reached the US that up to half a million Armenians had perished in what was believed to have been a calculated campaign of ethnic cleansing...
What ensued were death marches and burning people live who were gathered in the churches... more than half the Armenian race was destroyed... over the next few years...
*******
A century ago, in a misconceived encounter on
the history-soaked precipices of Asia Minor, the
sons of Anzac received their battle initiation
against the German-trained forces of the Ottoman Empire.
Now, in an annual event that grows in mythology and status in proportion to the passing of the years, is celebrated the shared combat ordeal of gallant "Johnny Turk" and the Bronzed Anzac.
And why not?
Now, in an annual event that grows in mythology and status in proportion to the passing of the years, is celebrated the shared combat ordeal of gallant "Johnny Turk" and the Bronzed Anzac.
And why not?
The Turkish forces, well prepared behind
excellent defences, used their tactics to
good effect, ably led by a professional
officer who was to go on to bigger things, such as the fire destruction of Smyrna - namely, Kemal Ataturk.
But, pause for one moment to consider a slightly different scenario.
Let us suspend historical reality for the purposes of this exercise.
What if, say, instead of Gallipoli, the Anzac forces were going into combat with an SS Battalion somewhere in Poland during the Second World War? Would we then, decades later, be joining up with our comrades in battle to celebrate what both sides had gone through, our enmities forgotten? Can one commemorate the shared experiences with enemy forces who acted as the military arm of a state carrying
out a terrible genocide at the same time?
For it was the night before the landing at Gallipoli on 25 April 1915 in the capital of the Ottoman Empire, then called Constantinople, when occurred the arrest, detention and subsequent liquidation of 625 intellectuals, priests and leading figures of the Armenian nation.
This event is widely held to signal the onset of the first major
genocide of the twentieth century, the most blood-drenched period in human history.
What followed was a mass murder of an entirely innocent group of citizens in the Ottoman Empire by means that are still horrifying to contemplate. By the time Turkey sued for peace in 1918, up to 1.5 million Armenians had been slaughtered, decimating the population of a group of people who had lived in the Fertile Crescent since the dawn of human settlement.
And it did not stop there. The Assyrian people suffered at least 75,000 victims, three-quarters of their population; the numbers have not been made up to this day. Later the Greeks in Asia Minor, in some of the bloodiest scenes of city sacking since the fall of Nineveh and Tyre,
were driven out of ancient homelands, never to return. And, largely lost in the high tide of bloodletting at the time, there were pogroms of Jewish settlements in Anatolia.

Definitely be
thankful that you are not under the Turkish magic wand...and part of their
imaginary empire ... You do not want to be part of a blood stained history nor part of an arrogant and adventurous future...

... And a BIG question on this Thanksgiving day...
Why it is okay to mock Christianity and dangerous when it comes to other minority religions...?
The Holy Virgin Mary is a painting created by Chris Ofili in 1996. It was one of the works included in the Sensation exhibition in London, Berlin and New York
Where the chest is open ready to feed the child...

Piss Christ is a 1987 photograph by the American
artist and photographer Andres Serrano. It depicts a small plastic crucifix
submerged in a glass of the artist's urine.
Where Adam and Eve are connected with a snake...
Now imagine all this paintings...art... about ANY
other religion... You will be lucky if they do not demand your death... or they
do not sentence you to death... or actually you are beheaded...
Be thankful for the right to think... for the right to
speak... for the right to dress the way you like... for the right to express
yourself freely without the fear of percussion or death... be thankful that you
have enough to celebrate Thanksgiving... maybe you do not have a “white Place”
of more than 1000 rooms... For ALL the shortcoming – Ferguson and all- be thankful
that you are here and not there...
Happy Thanksgiving...
Be Thankful that you live in a more tolerant society... Of course things are not what they can be... but still it is much...much better... than what they have out there in Turkey and the Middle East...
...And now FERGUSON...AND BEYOND
More than 400 arrested as Ferguson protests spread to other U.S. cities...
Demand justice...
Celebrate your freedoms... and
Be Thankful and get involved...for a better tomorrow...
Where incidents like Ferguson...and the shooting of a 12 years old...DO NOT HAPPEN...
Check below...
The 12-year-old boy shot by police in the US was told to show his hands three times by officers before they opened fire, a senior officer says.
Tamir Rice was shot by police on Saturday afternoon and died in hospital early on Sunday morning...
Be thankful that you have the
right to change...Get involved and change everything for the better…
