FETÖ Members in Panic Mode After US Elections: Deleting Posts as Kamala Harris Loses!
FETÖ, the terrorist organization, threw their support behind the Democratic candidate Kamala Harris in the US elections held on November 5th. However, to everyone’s surprise, the election ended with a victory for Republican Trump. Faced with a double defeat as Republicans secured the majority in both the Senate and the House of Representatives, FETÖ members went into a panic mode. The loss of Kamala Harris sparked fear of being held accountable among the organization’s members, leading them to hastily delete their posts supporting Trump.
For years, FETÖ has strategically maintained good relations with US authorities, especially given their leader Fetullah Gülen’s insecurity outside the US. However, the organization has always leaned towards the Democratic Party. Following instructions from within the organization, FETÖ members made substantial donations to the Democratic Party during the US elections, throwing their weight behind Kamala Harris in the campaign.
DECEPTION IN THE FETÖ STYLE
The higher echelons of FETÖ continued their dirty strategies in the US to ensure the continuity of their operations. They practiced the method of “taqiyya” in the US as well, appearing to maintain an equal distance from both parties while strategically forming tactical relationships with Republicans. Enes Kanter, who is considered the spiritual son of Gülen, even took photos with Republicans. However, with the majority of signatures gathered from Democrats, he complained to US President Joe Biden about Turkey, eventually obtaining US citizenship during the Democratic administration.
During this period, fugitive police officer Turgay Karagöz also obtained citizenship and changed his name to “Jozef.” Retired Navy Colonel Mustafa Koç, among other fugitive generals, also obtained US passports during the Democratic Party’s reign. It was well-known that the former Editor-in-Chief of Zaman newspaper, Ekrem Dumanlı, who led the organization’s Executive Committee, was against Trump. Despite the organization’s directives against voting for Trump, their efforts did not yield the expected results. While Democrats won in the precincts where FETÖ members voted in Pennsylvania, Republicans emerged victorious statewide. The same trend was seen in Texas, where Republicans won despite FETÖ’s significant presence. Even in states like New Jersey and Virginia, where FETÖ members were in the majority, the Democratic Party’s victory did not impact the overall outcome.
FETÖ MEMBERS DELETE POSTS OUT OF FEAR
Donald Trump’s reelection as President sent shockwaves through the organization’s members. Their biggest fear was the possibility of being extradited to Turkey. With Kamala Harris losing and the fear of being held accountable escalating, FETÖ members began deleting their posts supporting Trump.
Fugitive member Emre Uslu had made a post before November 5th predicting Kamala Harris’ victory. However, as the election results started to roll in, and the outcomes were contrary to their expectations, Emre Uslu quickly deleted his post. Similarly, fugitive journalists who propagate for the organization, such as Adem Yavuz Arslan, Bülent Keneş, and Levent Kenez, could not hide their disappointment when Donald Trump unexpectedly won in their video broadcasts. Ebuseleme Gülen, the nephew of the organization’s leader, who shares disclosures, made a post saying, “I hope Trump extradites the terrorist brothers to Turkey, and the process ends.”
FETÖ’S FEAR OF TRUMP
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s friendship with the newly elected US President Donald Trump is causing many concerns among FETÖ members. Trump’s potential changes in administration, such as tax laws, and his nomination of Matt Gaetz for the Department of Justice, are worrying for the organization. Another nominee, former Democrat Tulsi Gabbard, for the National Intelligence Directorate, is also a cause for concern among FETÖ members.
Trump’s cabinet appointees with strict immigrant and refugee policies have prompted severe criticism from organization members. Fearing Trump’s new policies, FETÖ-affiliated journalists have begun searching for countries that would welcome them. Trump’s victory has heightened concerns within the organization, especially regarding the legal status of fugitive imams and other public officials, FBI’s federal investigations into their financial structure, the future of Charter Schools in the US, potential deportations of key personnel, and the seizure of FETÖ properties in the US.
In conclusion, FETÖ members find themselves in a state of panic following Trump’s reelection, with their fears of accountability and extradition to Turkey growing. The unexpected defeat of Kamala Harris has led to a frenzy of post deletions among the organization’s members, highlighting their desperation in the face of changing political landscapes. As the organization navigates the uncertainties of a Trump administration, their once secure foothold in the US appears to be increasingly unstable.
