Is the community doing these unwillingly?

Probably no one is left who believes that what has been going on since December 17 is a fight against corruption. That those whose curiosity about a clean society suddenly stirred on the occasion of this affair have, until now, not had the slightest record in this direction makes them stand out in this affair merely as ambitious opportunists.

Of course, they too are well aware of what is going on. The issue is not corruption, and certainly not bribery. Just as the issue was not the trees before, and just as the issue was not the prep schools afterwards.

A systematic war is being waged against the government, and the actors of this war openly call it a struggle without even needing to camouflage themselves. As the Community's pens issue challenges, members or organs of the judiciary whose ties to the Community have become public spring into action. Certain members of the HSYK, the Justice Academy, and so on. All of them, displaying the Community's reflexes, openly jump into every ball like spokesperson actors. In this climate, prosecutors plunge into the scene not with the files in their hands in their natural course, but with files in the nature of retaliatory moves suited to the context and the moment. This continuity and contextuality alone already makes it impossible to think that the affair has to do with law or corruption.

There is one more thing left, and it is not so easy to deal with: in the name of fighting corruption, the corrupt and irresponsible abuse of the ideal of a clean society.

Those who instrumentalize corruption and line up with the systematic assault on the government are undoubtedly serving a greater corruption. There can be no greater corruption than attempting a coup through such frame-ups against a government that the people brought to power by election.

In essence, a coup is an integrated corruption that contains every kind of immorality and corruption within it. Because of its quality as a qualified corruption, its harm cannot be merely short-term. It also steals the future of generations. Because it works by distorting moral standards to the utmost and poisons the minds of future generations too. It sets Turkey back by decades each time. There has been no coup that moved Turkey one step forward in any matter. It has always set it back.

Even a coup carried out in the name of fighting corruption first slaughters people's hopes concerning a clean society. Let us recall that one of the campaigns that first triggered the February 28 process was the "one minute of darkness for constant light" action. That campaign was recorded as a perfect example of the ideal of a clean society being stolen by the putschists themselves. In essence, this corrupt use of such a valuable struggle leaves people no branch to rely on.

Putschists have always been unafraid to drag the country first into every possible calamity in order to save it. The September 12 junta members seized the situation to save the country after dragging it to the brink of a civil war that they themselves had organized and in which 5,000 of our people died. The Balyoz plan had in fact copied September 12 and was acting with the same logic. If necessary, our own jet would be shot down and the country would suffer a great loss of prestige. All that mattered was that conditions arise for the putschists to take over the situation like saviors.

In his program on Habertürk in recent days, Orhan Miroğlu was saying, "Some people have come to the point of almost wanting an American occupation just so that Erdoğan and the AK Parti would leave us."

In fact, the only thing all these campaigns being waged against Erdoğan at the moment invite is nothing other than occupation. A great deal that had been accumulated until now in the name of Turkey's national existence has been squandered. Look at the language of the campaigns to wear Erdoğan down, especially those expressed in English: is there any aspect that stands out more than the message "let America come and save us from Erdoğan's dictatorship"? Portraying Erdoğan as a jihadist, the campaigns waged against the İHH or against the TIR under MİT's control serving to denounce Turkey wholesale to the world as terrorist...

Meanwhile, Ali Bulaç continues to draw the big picture once again. He says the picture he draws goes beyond both the Community and the government and points to a grand plan aimed at destroying both. Spot on, but why does he not try to make the Community aware of it too? Does he not see that all the Community's publications are working as active implementers of this grand plan?

He still insists that all of this is happening because of the policy Turkey has pursued, but he is not aware that this interpretation in fact confesses the Community, through everything it has done lately, to be an implementer of the operation being waged against Turkey.

Yes, Turkey has pursued a courageous and self-confident foreign policy, and for this it will of course not ask permission from America or anyone else. We already knew that this would not please those certain people. But frankly we had never reckoned that they would use the Community to try to stop us.

In fact, as Bulaç says, if there is something in what is going on that goes beyond the Community, then it must also be accepted that the Community is doing all of this unintentionally. Otherwise, why would it take part in a plan that, as Bulaç too accepts, goes so far beyond it, and that it realizes goes beyond it (or at least knows so thanks to Ali Bulaç's warning)?

Or is the Community, as has always been said, a hostage in someone's hands? Well, if that is the case, let us try to rescue it. But for that, the community needs to give a small hint that it is doing all of this, which is dragging both itself and Turkey into great calamity, under pressure...

Otherwise, trying to rescue someone who does not want to be rescued would be a separate kind of meddling.
