1) No government official was hurt or arrested during or after the coup. 2) Multiple "plotter" F16s were within shooting distance of Erdogan 3) Erdogan had serious beef with the Constitutional court for condemning his arrest of two journalists-- saying so much as "I hope the constitutional court would not again attempt such ways which will open its existence and legitimacy up for debate". Following the coup, over 188 "warrants" were drawn up to "purge" the court. 4) Most news reports on the violence, including the bombing of a police station, were false. I'm going to highly doubt the death figure until it comes from an impartial news source. matakanfoca.com/fake-news-turkeycoup/
Erdogan was seriously embarrassed by the Gulen movement, and was looking for a pretext to destroy that group and solidify his position.
Also, why the hell would you launch a coup at primetime, when everyone is out and about (9PM local) and not when everyone's asleep (5AM)?

Might've been. Smart people would kill Erdogan first then launch all out shit storm coup.

I knew this was a false flag from the beginning. Now Erdogan has his Islamic jihadis fill the ranks after purging the secularists.
Carson Lopez
exactly, killing/arresting the figurehead is the first real objective of any coup. Not going to the media at primetime to tout your supposed "success"
Jackson Torres
Hard to imagine its a false flag, the scale is too grande.
All those people caught by the authorities are going to need to give a testimony its hard to believe that out of 1000's of people not even one is going to spill the beans.
Why the fuck would a world leader face-time a news channel about what the fuck is happening? The F16s near flying in shooting distance sound suspicious.
I think he was aware of the plans of a possible coup due to acquired intelligence, but I don't think he orchestrated this himself, I also don't believe he 'exactly' knew when this was going to happen, but could only speculate.

The hotel raid and the news channel OPs happened both around the same time. One failed, the other one was succesful.

kek confirms false flag

>Out of 1000s You are talking about the military. 99.9% of them have no fking idea why they are doing what they do. You get your orders and act accordingly. The only ones who really know everything are 3-5 people at the top of the chain of command
