Turkey's 2023 Ambition Becoming a Reality


The following article was authored by Ibrahim Karagul and translated by Behcet Kaya



While angry mobs in the western capitals carried on, we say good bye to the world we knew. The U.S. and the EU are going through a racist fight which is not all racism. There is another fight going on under the racism.

The slavery methods of Western ideology are coming to an historical end. That is the fight under racism. Turkey is now a super power and whatever Turkey decides to do in Libya and the Eastern Mediterranean that is what will be. From now on a new method of solving world crisis and problems will be followed. Nations, countries, super powers, world maps, and communities will be redesigned. Colonialism, racism, lawlessness, unequal-pay, identities, geopolitical struggles, power struggles, community wordiness, geographic closeness will acquire a new shape.

The world as we know it, the old world order, Western power and Eastern power structure, advanced nations and third world nation separations will be thrown out and dumped into the landfill.

The fight in the U.S. and the EU is not about racism, but another kind of fight. White supremacists provocation in the U.S. for the angry blacks is not only for racist issues. We can prove the historical events that have taken place. In 1895 in London Edward Cooks’ statue (who was a racist) was thrown into the river, but not for the reason he was a racist, but for another agenda.

Similarly in Brussels, NATO headquarters, where it was understood and acted upon, the riots are just another community wave and will come and go and thinking will prove to be wrong this time. The western beliefs of this sort will come to an end. This dramatic western thinking belief system is coming to an end inside the western countries and it is already happening.

After the pandemic, the expected roaring of chaos across the Atlantic and surrounding its shore, are taking place right before us. It is happening here in the western world.

Until now all the chaos that had been instigated by the west in Muslim capitals is now happening in their own capitals. Until now those who organized chaos and coups in Muslim countries it is now happening in their capitals. Until now those who organized and destroyed Muslim cities, they are now feeling the same chaos and destruction in their cities. Until now it was how the CIA stirred up a country because that country simply wanted to take care of their own problems. It was how the CIA and western intelligence agencies destroyed democratically elected prime ministers. It was how presidents were mud slung and destroyed and how opposing nations were turned into poor third world failed states.

Within their own countries it is now happening to America and its European allies. Until now the western intelligence agencies used the ethnic identities, religious, and politically different groups in Muslim and non-Muslim countries such as Venezuela to fight amongst each other and destroy themselves. Until now the western intelligence agencies undermined the working democracies causing chaos and stopped the wheel of democracies in countries including Turkey. They are now starting to feel the pain of the chaos they created in other countries.

The tense disagreement between President Trump and Pentagon is the example of this. The new countries in the Atlantic surroundings are advancing. For the last thirty years the super powers as we know them are slipping away and diminishing. New powers are coming onto the world scene. The erosion of the Atlantic powers is not a periodicity, it is not a time slot where one can squeeze in between WWI and WWII like it did before.

This is much more deep rooted and basic. It’s radical, thorough going and much more than a long term power change. The power through Atlantic axis will no longer be able to supervise the world.

Thus, we Turks must discuss every event that is happening now one by one, in this reality. What we are doing in Syria, why we are in Libya, and the disagreement with other neighbors in sharing the wealth of the Eastern Mediterranean- we must dig deep and understand it all. This is the beginning of the end of the western system which drives humanity into slavery.

The western powers came along and began with geographical system lies- redesign of the Middle East with waves of colonialism to consume the under earth wealth of third world countries and to whither, blast millions of people, kill, suck the blood of nations, belittle races and nations, and condemn them to slavery.

This is the end history of American exceptionalism and American power. They are not out of reach of developing technology, military power, wealth and space race, in fact nothing the western powers do is unreachable; the pandemic has shown us that. Thus every nation has to prepare for this new world order. (Not to be mistaken by the liberal point of New World Order.)

Thus Turkey has to prepare and she is doing just that, despite the fact that both internally grown traitors and foreign powers are trying to stop Turkey. Does the destruction of civilian NGO’s mean Turkey is a super power? While we argue what the new system will be after the pandemic, the destruction of nations central systems, civilian nonprofit organizations, mass demonstrations, wearing away believing in their governments, the identity clash between citizens, causing fights between people, will be discussed immensely.

We have said this- the world was already changing. The existing world imperialist system was sinking. The last arguments for the ending of western capitalism have begun. For example, since the founding of the Republic of Turkey, for the first time becoming a central power is coming to the forehand, and Turkey has worked arduously to be prepared for that task.

Turkey has been fighting on all fronts around its borders for forty years. The building of the fronts against foreign powers were the indications of this task. Hence Turkey is becoming a super power because it is not a one front country but it is struggling with numerous fronts like a super power.

The powers of nations and individuals, wealth and hidden powers are all gone. Profiteering, helplessness, desperation and disgracefulness are all gone. The pandemic is not starting a new era, but it is speeding up an already fundamentally changing and continually changing world system; such as power slipping away from the known bi-polar systems administered by a few nations. It is changing at a mind boggling speed that we are unaccustomed to such rapid change. With its unstoppable speed it is heightening an area to a point of no return.

The cover over the powerful and wealthy countries has been taken away and their weaknesses are discovered. Some nations, such as Turkey, who look poor and who appear to lack skill and knowledge have endured resistance to foreign powers and their tremendous latent powers are now coming into the open.

Power, wealth, unlimited strength, advancement in technology, and whatever else comes to mind regarding western powers has become open.
What is revealed is the deep debility, pain, ache, bitterness, grief and sorrow, inhumaness, desperateness and disgracefulness.

From now on there are no words of persuasiveness, or convincing promises, or sympathetic words left they can say that would be convincing to the world.

Okay. What will change in our geography and Turkey?

Number one- question fiercely the Globalism and New World Order.
Nations will turn more inward; intensifying their political and economic situations.

Number two- nations will eliminate the middleman mentality such as NGO’s or missionaries. Rather they will deal directly nation to nation. Nations and countries will be arranged into groups and centralized. Geographic blocks will be created.

Number three- digital technology and finance will be controlled by the nations not by private entities. Nations will defend against the symbol of Globalization.

Number four- resistance against foreign influences inside the country and uncertainty outside the country will be dealt with. Countries and nations will gain powers; globalization and new world order organizations will be seen as threats. Already there is huge war tension and drums are sounding in the Pacific between China and the U.S.

Number five- China is getting ready to sit in the super power chair during the pandemic period. In Asia fierce competition between the U.S. and China will become unendurable. In Asia competition between China and India will become fierce. There will be an unbelievable geopolitical power struggle beginning between Australia, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, South Korea, and Japan.

Number six- there will no longer be shared interests in the European Union. We watched this after WWII i.e. regarding the German project of the European Union.

Number seven- we will watch the rise of Turkey. In the Middle East we will witness nations go downhill who are now standing on their own feet only by depending on U.S. and EU aid. The 2023 plan expectation (the hundred year anniversary of Republic of Turkey) will become a reality. Turkey will never withdraw from Libya.

Number eight- there will be expanded characteristic opportunities for Turkey regarding geographic areas in the Middle East and central Asia, North Africa and the Balkans. Turkey will find itself an extraordinary opportunity to build a super power in the West and East and in its own geographic area.

Number nine- Turkey will have an opportunity to create and put forward an influential language, political say so, and standing, Islam geopolitical standing from the Atlantic Ocean to Pacific shores.

Number ten- Turkey’s 2023 plan will become a reality. Turkey’s plan and the changing world’s plans will come together. During the pandemic our resistance and our better handling of Covid-19 than the super powers will take Turkey on a better road to raise power, positions, and opportunities after the pandemic changes.

Number eleven- Turkey will never leave Libya. Turkey will never leave Libya until it reaches its goals. It can’t do and it will not do it because what we are trying to explain is that the new world is making it necessary to do just that.

Success Can Come When You Least Expect It




You have known me long enough to know I enjoy writing about things that are most important to me. The last several months have been a real eye-opener. I mean, you work hard in life trying to reach your goals, your dreams, but, sometimes you try so hard and never make much progress.

Right?

My wife and I lived in southern California for more than 23 years. The reasons we moved out there were two-fold. It had always been one of my wife’s dreams to live in California. And, my motives were obvious. I wanted to be in the entertainment business. I have been training in acting and theatre almost all my adult life and have numerous credits that I don’t even list them all on my resume on IMdB.

Thoughts on Film Developing



Hi folks. As excited as I am that one of my published novels, “Murder on the Naval Base” has been picked up for possible film development, I must remind myself to remain level headed.

I have no experience in developing a movie and I am beginning to learn how long a process it actually is. My message to other first-time movie developers is to be cautious. I have made mistakes and what I perceived as mistakes. I hope by sharing my story, others can avoid making those same mistakes.

A Walk on the Beach


A Walk on the Beach
Hello, everyone.
It has been so long since I have written anything other than college essays and papers. For the past three years my excuse has been due to my attending university and earning my degree in political science. I kept thinking that after obtaining my degree, I could easily slip back into my writing mode.

Abstract

Human ecology is the complex relationships between people and their environment. One important aspect of that relationship is the interaction with farming ecosystems. The major disparity between organic farming versus conventional farming is the interaction on farming ecosystems such as biodiverse insects, microbiological taxa in the soil, and greenhouse gasses emitted into the atmosphere.

Carrizo Plain National Monument and the Protection of Sensitive Rare Species and Historically Cultural Value


Carrizo Plain National Monument and the Protection of Sensitive Rare Species and Historically Cultural Values

Abstract
 In 2001, President Clinton officially designated the Carrizo Plain National Monument in California a protected area. It is the largest remaining area of land of the original San Joaquin Valley habitat, making it of prime historic and scientific interest and value.

The monument is currently managed by three overlapping entities - the Bureau of Land Management, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and the Nature Conservancy. This arrangement is problematic as to whose responsibility is and to what. In addition, a major problem is both securing of funding and the allocating of that funding for the maintenance of the monument and the vital research that is being conducted within the monument. Going forward, there are many possibilities for better managing this important historical and cultural area.

The Problem:
Using the Antiquities Act of 1906, President Clinton in 2001 officially designated the Carrizo Plain National Monument in California a protected area. The Carrizo Plain is the largest remaining area of land of the original San Joaquin Valley habitat, making it of prime historic and scientific interest and value. This area is extremely vital to the survival of its habitats and the wild life it supports.

According to Bureau of Land Management the primary benefit of Carrizo Plain becoming a monument was to ensure the continued protection of the land and this area is vital to research opportunities and the knowledge learned from Carrizo Plain can be applied to other areas. Carrizo Plain houses many rare and biodiverse species. Carrizo Plain is also home to many recreational activities, including hiking, camping with permit, bicycling, and horseback riding, wildflower viewing, and hunting. These recreational activities for the public are allowed on publicly held land, but privately own lands are exempt (Bureau of Land Management 2017).

The national monument area and the overall Carrizo Plain, which includes both state owned land and private land, is currently managed jointly by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, and the Nature Conservancy. These three agencies (two government and one nonprofit) all overlap each other in overseeing this particular area. This arrangement is problematic as to what responsibilities each entity controls. In addition, government agencies have very complicated bureaucracies to go through before any money is allocated or rules are decided upon and enforced (Bureau of Land Management 2017).

Going forward, the entities overseeing the monument propose that the existing regulations designed to protect sensitive natural and cultural resources will continue to be enforced (BLM). Livestock grazing, as part of a research program to maintain a healthy ecosystem, biodiversity and for rare species will continue, as will the exemption from any mining exploration (Bureau of Land Management 2017).

Contributory factors to the problem:
The major issue to the proper management of Carrizo is finding funding and the allocation of that funding to maintain the monument and continue its vital work. “Adequacy of Budged to Implement RMP. Members of the public have expressed concern that the BLM may not be able to implement the objectives and actions within the RMP due to budget constraints, and have questioned how the plan will take budget issues into account” (Albino page xxx 1.5.5, Adequacy of Budged to Implement RMP 2010).

Policy objectives:
It is my opinion that the private sector, i.e. a nonprofit entity, can manage the monument much more efficiently than any government agency. 

Policy options:
One possibility is that the Nature Conservancy could take over and be the primary overseer of the Carrizo Plain National Monument. As a professional nonprofit organization, the Nature Conservancy can manage and raise much needed funds from philanthropy and other sources.

Another possibility is that an endowment fund be established and another nonprofit organization be created and put in charge to manage the monument. This could easily be achieved by hiring professional fund raising people who are paid employees. There are billions of dollars available for the right professional to access. First, incorporate the nonprofit by filing a 501(C) (3) tax exempt status. Taking the example of the World Wildlife Foundation, a very successful entity can be incorporated similarly for Carrizo Plain National Monument “using 4% for administration, 11% for fundraising and 85% for program expenses” (World Wildlife Foundation).

An alternative to the nonprofit option is to create within the Bureau of Land Management a department just to undertake nonprofit fund raising. This undertaking must not be mixed with the bureau’s other businesses.

There is also a proposal in the “Proclamation of Carrizo Plain National Monument,” under the title “Alternatives Including the Proposed Action,” which suggests a more “Hands Off” approach to resource management; meaning limit or prohibit public access and grazing to the monument. “This would enhance the natural processes with minimal human interference. No grazing, no recreation, no smaller hiking trails network. Access to rock art sites must not be allowed. Only minimal interventions will restore the historic and prehistoric sites from natural decay and destructions” (CARRIZO PLAIN NATIONAL MONUMENT APPROVED RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLA AND RECORD OF DECISION).

Advantages of these suggested policy options:

The advantages of the nonprofit management of the Carrizo Plain National Monument, whether it be the Nature Conservancy or a new entity, is that the funds are allocated to places that are vital to the continuation of the research projects. The Nature Conservancy in particular has a stellar track record for raising funds. While park rangers manage the safety and security of the monument, other professionals conduct vital research. In that way everyone working for the park knows their particular specialties. Albino suggests, “Pursue stable funding source to address questions regarding the effectiveness of livestock grazing in meeting goals. Design studies to access the effects of the proposed livestock grazing program on plants and animals. Acquire remaining private lands to protect and enhance natural and cultural values” (Albino 41, 2010).

Disadvantages of the suggested policy options:

Creating a nonprofit department within the BLM would only add more complications to the existing issue. Government is very bad at handling money efficiently and would only add to government bureaucracy. Besides, the BLM has many other parks to manage (CARRIZO PLAIN NATIONAL MONUMENT APPROVED RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLA AND RECORD OF DECISION).

In addition, the BLM has too many regulations and ideas on its books, and the result is always the same - inefficient management of whatever area they are in charge of. In the case of Carrizo, these current policies are not carrying out the full potential of the monument. For example, the BLM often comes up with ideas to raise funds, such as allowing ecotourism and other grazing methods, but these barely keep up with the needs of the monument. The fact of the matter is, ecotourism which, for example, was brought to Baha California to stop excessive fishing, did not work. The poor fisherman did not benefit from whale watching tourism. We must learn a lesson from this about allowing the public the privilege of enjoying recreational activities in the designated area of Carrizo Plain National Monument. It is not solving the problem. The funds gained from these activities barely feed the employees of the monument.

Evaluation criteria:
All of these proposed methods can only be achieved by having sufficient funds, and that can only be done by a nonprofit organization. It might be necessary that this particular area be handed over to a separate entity. Not an NGO, but the formation a separate whose only responsibility is to oversee Carrizo Plain National Monument and that agency part of a nonprofit organization. One only has to look at the successes of both the Nature Conservancy and the World Wildlife Foundation to know that this is highly feasible.

Final Policy Recommendations:
I agree with and support the proposal to cut off public access, grazing and any other human interference. This would help preserve these prehistoric sites from further destruction. Replacement of the monies lost from these activities can only be achieved by having sufficient funds for the monument and these funds can best be raised by a nonprofit entity.

In my opinion, a new executive order bill must be put in place by the president of the U.S. to turn over the management of the monument to a nonprofit entity, either the Nature Conservancy or a new entity. This nonprofit organization should hire scientists, anthropologists, ecologists, biologists, geologists, and whoever else it needs to run the monument. Federal funds must be allocated to the startup and formation of the nonprofit 501 (3) (C) for the Carrizo Plain National Monument. Within the first year funds will be collected. As time goes by, the nonprofit for the Carrizo Plain National Monument will stand on its own accord.
