When we look at the last quarter century, 25 years, of Turkish politics, the picture and the point reached is clear. Therefore, people are now obliged to make a conscientious and moral choice rather than a political choice.
-In favor of justice and morality?
-In favor of unjust power and immorality?
Although when these 2 options are presented to people, everyone will say the first option without thinking, unfortunately, it is possible to see that a considerable number of people gather around the second choice. .
A part of society has actually made a choice. It seems to prefer the unjust power obtained through immorality.
It is necessary to make a clear assessment of the process that led to this situation and, moreover, of the outcome. .
In the last 25 years, those who wield political power in every field “Justice” and “Morality” It is obvious that it has completely changed the genes of the society, especially the genes of the society.
The threshold of shame has been destroyed by those in political power, belief in justice has been eliminated, the conditions of being human have been violated, the understanding that it is only the powerless who suffer injustice has been accepted, and a comfortable life “power no matter how it is acquired” with the help of the people of the world.
For a part of the society, the rush to adapt to this shameless environment and stand only on the side of the powerful has begun. In a sense, all moral values and legal rules have been set aside in order to gain power.
A structure that starts with the process of the fish stinking from the head has been manufactured, which will later be called the imam/community relationship.
For the above and part of the following “New norms and new normals” that's what it is. Gaining power, even if it is immoral and unjust. Only power.
There is only one rule. The power order of those who sit in the center of power, who hold the power in their hands, and the struggle of those who want to get close to the center of power.
In 25 years, the current government has created this structure and furthermore normalized it. The state facilities distributed to those close to its power center and their subordinates are an example of this.
Although - as presented to the public “Power Center” But we need to correct a deficiency here. This structure is not called a power center, but rather a structure that violates legal rules in order to immorally obtain power for personal interests. “Crime Center” would be more appropriate.
In making this definition, we encounter an interesting paradox. It would not be fair to make the centers of crime only related to political power and ignore the rest. In Turkey, there are many crime centers in separate areas but with intersection points and common clusters. “Crime Centers” has already been formed. .
From the media to the sports world, from the arts to NGOs .... in many areas. Moreover, and most gravely, judging by the latest indictments, opposition parties have unfortunately “Crime Centers” has already been created.
But this “Crime Centers” with those who have a sphere of influence, to keep them alive, to make them stronger, to make them bigger. We need people who will pledge allegiance and be rewarded for it. People who will both empower and be empowered themselves.
Those who are willing to commit all kinds of immorality and lawlessness in order to gain power are already ready to swear allegiance. Obedience is just one of the steps from the bottom to the top to gain more power.
Although the structure that created this order in 25 years has benefited from this network of relations to the maximum extent, new users and customers have also emerged. In other words, there are new users and customers “Crime Centers”.
For those who want to gain power “Culture of subservience” It has now become indispensable in its own measure in some parts of society.
The first condition that determines punishment and reward: “Biat.”
Those who are punished are those who do not obey. The ones who get the prize in the air are the ones who obey to the letter.
Let's not stand on the side of justice, let's ignore moral and conscientious values, let's obey, let's not forget our reward, let's take our place on the side of power .... Is that all? No, there is more. The real issue starts after this.
Thinking that you gain power by leaving moral values aside and just obeying, by saying ‘yes’ to everything, by standing on the side of power will have some bad consequences.
“Crime Centers“ He will reward those who pledge allegiance to Him according to their allegiance, commitment and influence, and He will surely reward them with more than enough.
To be a little clearer, in the last 3 years, against the power that established this order in Turkey, the CHP, i.e. ‘The Last Fortress’and also those who have taken it on the sly.
“Ekrem Imamoglu Criminal Organization for Profit”“He took/ gave bribes, distributed money to delegates, distributed title deeds to some people for profit, placed his relatives in jobs, blackmailed businessmen, bought bureaucrats with money, did this with municipality facilities, CHP executives were also involved in these affairs, as alleged - especially during the 38th Ordinary Congress of the CHP ..... If it is proven by HTS records, videos, documents, etc. ...... and if it is real ....” if these things happened.....
These cliques that have taken over the CHP “Power Center“ CHP as a shield for their crimes and - we have to regret to say - they use CHP as a shield for their crimes. They chose the CHP as a very strong area to cover up the crimes they committed before and after they took over the CHP. For this reason, every indictment “political operation” The cover is being fabricated. With this cover, we can say that new transfers are being made every day, who will pay allegiance to them, reward them in return, and make them partners in the crimes they have committed and will commit.
If the situation is as alleged, what is achieved for those involved in these transfers is not complicity in power but complicity in crime. Getting closer to the Center of Power what is seen as a servitude to a criminal gang built on immorality and lawlessness. It is entering the protection of a criminal gang or becoming a client of its favors in order to benefit from some of its opportunities.
Again, if what happened is as alleged ;
This one “To the Crime Center” It is a fact that those who want to be included afterwards, that is, those who are eager to pay allegiance and receive rewards, are given money, stamps, position and authority at first. It is also true that in return for what they have been given, those who pledge allegiance to the crime that will add to their power are dragged to the forefront. .
Those who have just entered the criminal center from the bottom up can easily commit new crimes as they are already willing to say ‘yes’ to everything with the intoxication of what they have been given. They are now slaves who are fully part of the criminal organization, that is, the immoral power.
Those who have repeatedly committed crimes in the intoxication of power and are now “from us” for those who take their place in the concept of slavery has begun. The time has come to receive orders through blackmail, not rewards. Those who do not obey orders are dictated consequences that will darken their lives.
Blackmail has replaced reward and slavery has replaced allegiance.
So, in fact, first: pay allegiance, get rewarded,
Then become a partner in crime, enslaved by blackmail.
If the allegations are true, this is the simplest way to summarize the transition from the bottom to the top, that is, to the center of crime, which you think of as the center of power. .
And if the allegations are true, it is necessary to put forward a more concrete case.
As you know, about 3 months ago, the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office prepared an indictment. On the cover of this indictment, which is close to 4 thousand pages in total, there was a title:
”Ekrem Imamoglu is a criminal organization for profit”
Two important issues under this heading form the main pillar of the indictment.
1. Ekrem İmamoğlu is the “leader” of a criminal organization ....
2. Ekrem Imamoglu is a ”criminal organization.”
If the content of this indictment is like its title, we can conclude that although Ekrem Bey presents himself to the public as a center of power, in fact he is not a center of power, a focus of power, but on the contrary he is the leader of a criminal organization.
But there is another issue that needs to be emphasized “criminal organization.”
Since the leader of the criminal organization as written in the indictment is known, the other members of the organization “commitment” principles.
If the allegations are true, 21 mayors and more than 400 senior bureaucrats/business people who are currently in Silivri Prison together with Mr. Ekrem have committed a number of crimes by following the orders given by Mr. Ekrem to the letter in the race to be closer to Mr. Ekrem, whom they perceive as the center of power.
Bribes received, tenders awarded, land registry records, SSI entries, HTS records, bank receipts, etc... When all these are considered, what was given was not an instruction but an invitation to participate in a crime and then blackmail.
The elements of the criminal organization, in other words, those who until yesterday were obedient, slaves and those who wanted to gain benefits are now directed to different crimes not with the bribes given by Mr. Ekrem, but with the blackmail of Mr. Ekrem.
“There is no salvation alone, all together or none of us“ and Mr. Ekrem's blackmail “stolen” This slogan is a code word for what happened.
If we make a conclusion in the light of the indictments; only a small part of the criminal organization is in Silivri, but when we look at the general line of Mr. Özgür and his staff, it does not seem possible to remain separate from this criminal organization. In fact, not only Mr. Özgür and his close staff, but also many MPs, provincial and district presidents, delegates, etc... have not been included in this indictment “for now”. But it is impossible not to think that time will not bring good things.
As a small footnote, you are right “The crime and sentence have not yet been finalized” I would say to those who say. Maybe what you are waiting for is not just a judicial decision “It's a statement of the obvious.”
Last but not least ;
Unfortunately, on the one hand, clientalism is presented to the public as rationality in politics, and on the other hand, individual pragmatism is being built.
It is also possible to say that what is happening is just the decay of politics and society. But this is the “destruction” of morality and justice! The destruction of justice, morality and conscience is the destruction of society. And the architect of this is primarily the political establishment. The workers are those who pursue power.
At this point, the goal has been realized and there is no chance to equalize almost any denominator in society anymore. Everyone stands in their own “Power Center / Crime Center” and against the other denominator.
To define the new Turkish order; “Unjust power center / crime center built on shamelessness” as "the most important thing in the world".
The purpose of the understanding of allegiance, of destroying justice and spreading immorality, of the effort to get closer to the center of crime by thinking that it is the center of power “from them.” is to be.
Not only has immorality become institutionalized, but also immorality, injustice and lawlessness have become normalized.
