My brother has told me that there's a lot of rumours in the anti-Erdagon parts of society that believe he probably did this, or let it happen, so that he could seize more power. It's possible, but I'm not so sure about that, because Turkey has a history of coups.
Well, having a history of it just means that it made sense that he could fake one. It's all over the unofficial media and conversations here that it was faked. Not that we know it was, just that people are questioning it and suspect that it was.

If you have any specific questions I may be able to answer them as well, because I tried to absorb as much as I could with this event, and I'm also very disappointed nothing came of it other than Erdagon seizing more power and the US kissing his ass the entire time, and the US media in general using the words "democratically elected" so often, sometimes multiple times in the same sentence, so often it was like Edward Bernays wrote the crap.
Just like the US did with Pincohet.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-36819182I think it's sort of funny to see the last pieces of the Empire be chipped away, but also kind of sad for conflicting reasons.

Coworker of mine pointed out this deal to me today. There's a site you can get it for $25 less from but the customer service is highly regarded as total shit. Here's the link. It's pretty cool and a damn good price for what it is.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-36841828Some nieces and nephews of mine have already been warned, well, they already know to basically stay away from anywhere that has grass that isn't an active park. Perhaps a bit over the top, but better than the alternative.

I have a suspicion that a lot of people are going to ignore the dangers.
