We’ve lived so long under the spell of hierarchy—from god-kings to feudal lords to party bosses—that only recently have we awakened to see not only that “regular” citizens have the capacity for self-governance, but that without their engagement our huge global crises cannot be addressed. The changes needed for human society simply to survive, let alone thrive, are so profound that the only way we will move toward them is if we ourselves, regular citizens, feel meaningful ownership of solutions through direct engagement. Our problems are too big, interrelated, and pervasive to yield to directives from on high.

I wouldn't be surprised if Empire agents weren't already on the ground in Turkey trying to engineer a "Morsi" operation that was so successful in Egypt. You may recall that Obama quickly sent Frank Wisner to Egypt early in 2011 to manage the political crisis in Egypt. Actually his name is Frank Wisner, Jr. and the son of Frank Wisner the number two CIA man who long served under Allen Dulles.
Prime Minister Erdogan is increasingly coming under pressure from international organizations, including UN organizations, leading members of E.U. member state´s governments and other, who criticize the Prime Minister and his administration for police brutality.

The prime Minister´s Parliamentary Group and the Justice and Development Party is increasingly showing cracks and the number of top party members as well as AKP supporters at the basis who criticize Erdogan or demand that he steps down is growing with every new police crack-down.
