#Geopolitical Code “Red”:1- No coverage of #Jeffrey Meeting in #Turkey Today; 2- No official response from #Turkey on recent rumors re: #Erdogan Heart-Attack;3- Sudden Anti-#Russia media reports in Turkey on #Idlib #Syria; 4-Increased media PsyOp on Turkey by #Israel #UAE #Saudis

Those of you who’ve been following my long-Pinned thread covering #Turkey #Russia #S400 #Idlib #USA know about my Warning re: “The Calm Before the Storm” in the last week or so. Strange developments & activities have picked in the last 24 hrs. All eyes on #Turkey #Idlib #Russia

Also, those of you who followed my #Turkey #Coup warnings 6-8 months prior to the #AttemptedCoup: Eyes on Turkey. As in earthquake-watch System I’ve been tracking all note-worthy Activities & Developments On The Ground In Turkey. Peak activities & signs in the last 24 hrs.

Update- 1- #Turkey MSM all report on #Russia bombing #Idlib killing civilians; 2- #Russia Denies; 3- Turkey accuses Russians of lying . Meanwhile: 4- Çavuşoğlu assures the world today: “No way Turkey ever leaving NATO” Russia denies its planes devdiscourse.com/article/intern…

See this is what I mean- #Turkey media insists #Russia engaged in civilian bombing in #Islib #Syria —- ”Syria: Russian airstrike on Idlib market kills 25” v.aa.com.tr/1538155

And the timing of this: ”MEMRI: Russian Military Expert Felgenhauer: Turkey Is No Ally; Russia Cannot Replace The West For Turkey” memri.org/reports/russia…

And all that with the addition of timing with this: “US Syria envoy in Turkey for talks” v.aa.com.tr/1537839

I’m also keeping an eye on this front- The last thing I want to see: The Return Of #CIA’s #Gulen #FETO Web.- - - “New Turkish political party in works as economy czar quits AKP”. almon.co/38dr via @AlMonitor

This from “Voice of #CIA” #Turkish coverage says that after meetings with #Jeffrey #Turkey Gov says it holds #Russia responsible to Rein on terror ops in #Idlib. - - - “‘Suriye'de Güvenli Bölge Oluşturulmazsa Harekat Düzenleriz’” amerikaninsesi.com/a/suriyede-guv…

Pres. #Erdogan bin has been filling with so many snakes: both agents & corrupt operatives.I’d expected to see a Major house clean up after #Istanbul elections. So far not seeing much. If brought-down, this time, it would be from “Within.” & those who’d do it fat worse for #Turjey

He could have used that defeat as an advantage- The right time for a face-lift: Clean House; Bring in a solid effective media (clean up #TRTWorld); build up on & re-start & continue past positives; unite. But the bin is way too infested ....

See, here comes #Israel media again. And I have to say: more than those already “Out” are the ones who are still “in”. - - - “Turkey's Erdogan faces growing threat from within his own party” haaretz.com/middle-east-ne…

Do me a favor:Google “James Jeffrey & Turkey”: Why There is absolutely nothing, Zero report, on Jeffrey’s highly critical meeting in #Turkey Today on #Syria #Idlib and what he termed as “Mutual Interests”? Then go hmmmm

And of course, I always keep an eye on this front as well. So far, in the last 45 days #Turkey #Currency #TL been stable around 5.7 per #USD. - - - “Macroeconomic storm clouds and geopolitics will weaken the Turkish lira!” ameinfo.com/industry/finan…

I’ve been also following up on #Erdogan heart-Attack rumor/news.No confirmation or denial. A couple of things: 1- supposedly the presidential schedule is empty today; 2- There’s been no statement from, or news, directly from or related to #Turkey President since yesterday evening

Here’s what a sane & competent media in #Turkey would have done in response to this “rumor” if rumor: Deny it strongly, point at sources (#Israel #Saudis etc), make fun of them ... Why “Zero” response or coverage of this? Reasonable question, no?!

Update #Turkey #Çavuşoğlu calls #Russia’s #Lavrov on #Idlib #Syria. This is after #Çavuşoğlu Meeting with #USA #Syria Envoy #Jeffrey which #Turkish media still is mum about ...” Çavuşoğlu ve Lavrov İdlib’i görüştü” tr.sputniknews.com/politika/20190… via @sputnik_TR

Remember that incident with #Pence canceling his scheduled trip & gaing to White House, causing rumors about possible #Trump death? Biden’s office issued responses. US media covered. Now in this case in #Turkey: nothing but silence. Not savvy. Not wise. Not right.

Meant “going”

Has any media outlet out there been able to receive a response on #Turkey Pres. #Erdogan health status- denial of Heart-Attack rumors? Please comment here if you have. None of my sources been able to confirm or deny. Let’s put this rumor to rest if rumor people!

This Comes as a Major Slap to #Turkey by #USA. No wonder why Turkish Media Completely Mum On #Jeffrey Turkey meeting today! Even the photo will be perceived as a big kick! #Syria #Idlib Top US commander visits SDF leadership in Syria amid Turkish threats kurdistan24.net/en/news/ba1529… #

To sum up the report: #USA clearly & firmly reiterated their commitment & support for #Kurdish #SDF against #Turkey’s threats!! And a photo to go with it. It also says #Jeffrey clearly made this point to #Çavuşoğlu in #Turkey Today. I guess this is why Turkey MSM mum!

Here it is: in a written statement #Russia denies bombing. Earlier #Turkey media (all of them) specifically accused Russia of the bombing today. Who’s telling the truth? - - - p.dw.com/p/3MY2s?maca=e… Syria: Russia denies responsibility for deadly air strikes

From this+ Silence in #Turkey Media + News from #SDF side: I gather the meeting between #USA Envoy #Jeffrey & Turkey Gov on #Idlib #Syria did Not go well. - - - “US envoy holds talks in Ankara as Turkey threatens to invade Syria” almon.co/38hh via @AlMonitor

On the other hand: From the latest switch in #Turkey media pointing at #Russia in latest #Idlib Bombing, #Russia denying it, then #Turkey accusing Russia of lying ... I gather things not going well with Russia on #Syria. So which one is it? Which one most real? What Say You?

Official #Russia Statement: “It is absolute fabrication by #WhiteHelmets re: Russia attacking/bombing the Market & civilians in #Idlib. “- - - “Rusya'dan İdlib saldırısı açıklaması” turktime.com/haber/Rusya-da… via @turktimecom

Asking again: Is this a case of falsely creating pretext for the next operations on #Syria #Idlib by the West? If so, which camp #Turkey will be in? One fact: #Turkey Media (all outlets) was the First source of this news, including directly declaring #Russia as the culprit.

Will I soon go back to Re-Pin this Analysis again? - - - “Breaking- Solid Indicators Show Still-Secret US-Turkey Agreements as S-400 Parts Delivered Today!” newsbud.com/2019/07/12/bre…

Or will it be this one to Re-Pin soon from 2+ months ago? - - - “The Battle for Idlib: A Wild Card in Turkey’s S-400 Deal” newsbud.com/2019/05/13/the…

One fact remains: The #Iran targeting operations won’t kick in (in a real sense) until the #Syria chapter is more or less closed. Currently we are at the last chapter. Geopolitical reality dictates: Nations switch camps based on their circumstances. Will #Turkey?

Currently it is 22:15 in #Turkey. The blanket silence in Turkish Media re: #Jeffrey-Turkey Meeting today still remains. Not a single comment been issued on President heart attack “rumor”. #Idlib exploding (in fnl chapter). #Russia says latest #Idlib bombing is “Fabrication.”

With that The Blinking “Code Red” remains for the region’s geopolitics: #Russia #Turkey #Syria #Idlib with more developments & updates to come.For those of U in the West: please keep the updates coming as we go to sleep in this part of the world. U can add them to comment section

Code Red Day 2 (July 23, 9:00 am): 1- #Idlib #Syria conflicting reports continue. #Turkey & West Media Nonstop report #Russia bombing civilians by hitting markets/&hospitals.Russia denying & says fabrication. As indicated before 1st time 4 Turkey to directly accuse Russia. (Cont)

(Cont) 2- Since yesterday news search engines show “Zero” Direct news on #Turkey Pres. #Erdogan. I have had a news alert system in place for years.This is a “First” ever. This morning “Erdogan Turkey) Search brought “Zero”. Ordinarily in any given hour you’d get on avg 14 results

(Cont) 3- #Turkey #currency remains stable against #USD (as it has done for the last 40+ days) around 5.7 TL Against 1 USD. Here it is this morning.

(Cont) 4- #Turkey Media keeps Inflating The “Alleged” civilian casualty numbers caused by #Russia bombing(s) in #Idlib In the last 24 hrs. It has gone from 13 to 17 to 30 ... Now over “50”. The most important point: Anti Russia & antagonistic reports for 1st time by Turkey MSM

(Cont) 5- Not a single detailed coverage of #USA envoy #Jeffrey meetings in #Turkey by the US #MSM or Turkish MSM. Very unusual. He’s been here in Turkey in meetings on #Syria #Idlib since yesterday, continuing today- Yet no coverage.

Go to google news search, enter “Turkey and Erdogan”, specify “Last Hour”: No news. It is 9:20 am in #Turkey, start of business day, this is when the highest results show up per “last hour” search. For this time period avg 20+.

The Following #Turey #MSM Headline would have read this way till yesterday: “#Syria Regime Strikes Killed...”. Since yesterday, 100s of Headline here say: “#Russia hits & kills civilians.”- - - “Russian jets strike Idlib market, killing 50 civilians...” sabahdai.ly/t5idhq

#BREAKING- #Turkey #FM Leaves 4 a “Last-Minute” Trip To #Jordan! The announcement said the “invitation” came quickly & fulfilled/accepted quickly. Look at Jordan’s role in #Syria war. This is happening as #USA Envoy #Jeffrey still in #Turkey meetings!! krr.im/5bcR

Here’s another #Turkey media outlet confirming that: 1- #USA Envoy #Jeffrey Turkey meetings were on “A New US Proposal” to Turkey 4 #Syria #Idlib. 2-That Turkey Gov has refrained from providing details of this proposal. - - - cumhuriyet.com.tr/1500360 #Cumhuriyet #cumhuriyetgzt

Whatever details of this #USA new #Syria proposal to #Turkey, it must involve #Jordan, thus, this hasty unexpected Turkey FM visit 2 Jordan before even #Jeffrey leaves Turkey. As we know: Jordan has been the top US base in #Syria ops. Does it mean Turkey has accepted US proposal?

Meanwhile Most Important Oddities: 1- Complete Media Blackout on these Hot Red Developments; 2- It’s claimed that #Turkey Pres. Is on “Vacation” (During highly critical period?)- See Screenshot; 3- A New Accusatory Media Coverage Against #Russia In Turkey. #Syria #Idlib

Just Out- Here is the latest #Turkey media front-page headline saying “#Russia Engaged In Massacre In #Syria #Idlib”. Published a few min ago- - - “İdlib’te Rus katliamı” m.yeniakit.com.tr/haber/idlibte-… #akit

#Flashback- Here’s my Breaking piece published on May 7, 2019 (2.5 mo ago) on #Idlib #Syria becoming the deal-breaker In #Russia-#Turkey by design& adv planning and deals. (See Screenshot)

#Flashbacks- And here are two subsequent breaking articles I wrote saying what you’ll be seeing in #Russia-#Turkey #S400 #Idlib #Syria #USA were already planned months before. (See Screenshots) Reporting From #Turkey (Independently 😉) with sources around the globe @sibeledmonds

A Question For U: What Happened to All The Western #MSM correspondents in #Turkey? Seriously, check them out; one-by-one. With all these Red-Hot developments they have reported/written exactly ... “Zero” words! So Where are they? 😉 #Russia #USA #Syria #Idlib

Check their Columns. Check their social media account. Blanket Darkness per #DeepState Bosses’ Order?😂

This “speech” is happening in #Riyadh #SaudiArabia today. In the midst of the new #USA #Syria proposal to #Turkey + #Russia denying carrying out the latest bombings targeting civilians in #Idlib + Turkey #FM going to #Jordan Today in a last-Min decision. aawsat.com/node/1825631

IMPORTANT- #Erdogan Camp Releases a Warning: “Intervention” another #Coup Against #Turkey by #USA & Certain Anti-Turkey Arab Nations! See here: - - - “Auxiliary forces have been unleashed on the ground- Prepared in Western capitals!” yenisafak.com/en/columns/ibr…

Highly Unusual & Troubling Activities-Developments On #Turkey & #Syria Fronts Since Yesterday, July 22. Complete Media Blackout on the West On #Turkey. #Russua Media has remained Mum so far.

Seeking Volunteer Twitter Friends with very large Follow Number to act as a Back-Up if my twitter goes dark for whatever reason.That way I’ll announce the designated accounts list & send them reports via email. Only very large accounts please. This just in case. No panic. Thank U

As some of you may know I am not a fan of this guy (writer of this piece). However, there are clear patterns of #Turkey targeting from outside. The Pres death rumor originated by #Israel & several other anti-Turkey Arab nations. #Jeffrey mystery meeting results. Latest #Idlib Ops

This is the latest on Ops in #Idlib #Suria, #Russia still denying all these reports. - - - “Russian Air Force steps up attack on militant stronghold in southern Idlib” aml.ink/oHPYz via @thearabsource

Media: “ #Turkey Seriously Mulls Direct Operations In #Idlib #Syria. “- Well, they’ve been building up the Troops there for the last 2 weeks. Also pay attention to the hasty last-minute #Turkey #FM visit to #Jordan.

Again: #USA Envoy #Jeffrey comes to #Turkey 4 meetings on a “new #Syria #Idlib proposal” + The next day, today, Turkish #FM flies 2 #Jordan + media here begins first ever “ #Russia massacring civilians in #Idlib”Line Nonstop since yesterday & now: Turkey Mulls New Direct Op

Been looking for latest unspoken catch on #Jordan since #Turkey FM sudden visit after meeting with #USA Envoy #Jeffrey. I think I found a possible not-talked-about catch. First read this: “Turkey hints at pulling access to Incirlik” stripes.com/news/turkey-hi…

When you read pay attention to: Since the latest #Turkey #USA #S400 spat involved Turkey threatening to shut down US #IncirlikBase US has been seriously mulling relocating to either #Jordan or #Greece. Did this come up during #Jeffrey meetings in Turkey?

And documents show #USA has spent 100s of millions of dollars to prepare & expand #Jordan base as alternative to #Turkey #Incirlik. Jordan also sided with US on #Syria. Wonder what’s taking place in Turkey-Jordan Meeting right now. - - - thedrive.com/the-war-zone/2…

After 24 hrs of blanket darkness on #Turkey #USA media picks up “One” news out of all Hot-Red developments here & they all disseminate it. Ready? Here it is 😂😂😊”Bootleg alcohol kills 23 as heavy taxes prompt Turkish home-brew todayonline.com/world/bootleg-… via @TODAYonline

And some call it “conspiracy theory” when you say: By Design & Intentional Dumb-ification Of public by US media !!😂

This is a pretty factual & decent report on #USA #Turkey New Proposal On #Idlib #Syria. This guy knows what he’s talking about. - - - “Syria safe zone: Can US reconcile conflicting demands of Turkey, YPG” almon.co/38gx via @AlMonitor

With that says, it does not get into #Russia factor in this deal-where will Russia stand? How will it impact the #Turkey-#Russia agreements on #Idlib #Syria? How about the still outstanding #UN Syria constitutional objectives?

Another sound take from al-Monitor. It is rare for me to give a nod to mainstream, but lately I’ve been reading solid analyses here on #Turkey-#Russia-#Syria-#USA - - - “As Idlib burns, Turkey focuses on another corner of Syria” almon.co/38i8 via @AlMonitor

One sad point to add: I see Turkish Analyst names attached to these pieces. How sad that not a single media outlet here in #Turkey possess such analysts. The outlets here are filled extremely unqualified & bad ones. It is like a garbage disposal of journalism. Sad.

Latest Development- An unexpected, previously unscheduled Meeting: #USA Envoy #Jeffrey will meet with Pres. #Erdogan Special Advisor #İbrahimKalın Today at 12:00pm (In Less Than 2 hr)- - - “Ankara'da kritik görüşme: Türkiye ile ABD...”. hbr.tk/vIHnJz via @Haberturk

Previously there were reports that Kalın was not going to accept the envoy. #Turkey #USA #Idlib #Syria #Russia

Updates on #Turkey: 1- #Jeffrey & #USA Deleg Still In Turkey On #Syria ; 2-Turkey FM Hasty Trip 2 #Jordan; 3-Turkey Now Denies prev statement (21 Days Ago) On #Xinjiang during #Erdogan #Xi #China Visit- Demands China 2 Take it Back from prints. 4- #Erdogan still on “Vacation”?

Further- #Trump Met with #USA #Senate Delegation In #WhiteHouse On #Turkey #S400 #Russia Yesterday (Tuesday Afternoon). The meeting was “Closed” to media. After the critical meeting They refused to provide any briefing on the meeting results (Secrecy). Why so much “Secrecy”?

As for #Russia : you can hear the crickets. Other than officially Denying any role in latest #Idlib #syria latest bombing & reported civilian casualties there’s been “zero” reports on anything Syria or #Turkey.

At the same time the “Blanket Blackout”continues in #USA media- Whether On #Trump #WhiteHouse Meeting with Top #Senators on #Turkey #S400 #Russia, or, US Envoy &Delegation Meetings In Turkey (still here; still ongoing): “Zero” Report.

In a way it is weird and creepy to find myself as the only person reporting live (and nonstop) on these Red-Hot developments shrouded in mystery and blackouts. Really!

BTW: #Turkey #Currency #TL lost a tiny bit value against #USD today- currently at 5.73. It’s been pretty stable at avg 5.7 during this entire #S400 #Russia #F35 #EastMedDrill #Idlib and the firing of CentBank head (almost for 2 months!)

A reliable source told me that: #Turkey & #USA has reached an agreement on #Idlib #Syria, and now it is down to how far Turkey will be “Permitted” by the US to position it’s new zone along #Euphrates. 30 km? 10 km? All the number part 😉

So very sad part of “realism”- #Syria, a sovereign country 1000s of miles across the oceans from #USA. And the USA gets to slice it, and allow 3rd or 4th or 5th countries to take “designated” slices. What’s the difference between this and 1000 yr old empires of the past?

Ok. Now back to playing the pretend game of Democracy, Progressive Liberal West, Glorious Global HR Institutions & the UN ... and the rest of the bullsh## we’ve been all playing😉

Breaking HOT- From #Turkey MSM: “If #Russia Continues This Attitude (And Actions) In #Idlib #Syria, the 2018 #Astana Agreement with #Turkey Will Be Annulled (Nullified)!” ”Rusya'nın İdlib tavrı Astana sürecini çökertebilir” v.aa.com.tr/1540142

For the past 48+ hrs I’ve been covering “Geopolitical Code-Red Alert” for #Turkey & the Region (See the entire thread). 1 anomaly I’d noted: Sudden change of tone in Turkish Media on #Russia Over #Syria #Idlib, pounding on Russia over recent Idlib bombjngs Which Russia Denies.

(Cont)- Add to this coinciding with #USA Envoy #Jeffrey Visit & meetings in #Turkey On new #Syria #Idlib deals (am far all outcomes kept secret) + Complete Blackout & Secrecy On #Trump Meetings US Senators in WhiteHouse on #Turkey #S400 #Russia + Pres. #Erdogan on “Vacation.”

Important: This is the first time ever from #Turkey: Considering, bringing to the table, The annulment- Cancellation Of It’s #Astana Agreement with #Russia & #Iran on #Idlib #Syria. This, never happened before. A Major Indicator! All eye on #Turkey

Indicator of What?- On May 13, 2019 I published this and predicted exactly “this”- - - “The Battle for Idlib: A Wild Card in Turkey’s S-400 Deal” newsbud.com/2019/05/13/the…

2 Weeks Ago, On July 12, I wrote and published this on “Not-Talked About #USA-#Turkey Deal” involving #Russia-#Turkey On #Idlib #Syria and #S400 : “Breaking- Solid Indicators Show Still-Secret US-Turkey Agreements as S-400 Parts Delivered Today!“ newsbud.com/2019/07/12/bre…

And nearly 3 months ago I broke the following on a Strategic Concoction to save face on #S400: “Breaking- Russia Provides Turkey with Needed “Justification” to Back Down from S-400 Deal While Saving Face!” newsbud.com/2019/05/07/bre…

What does it boil down to? Is this the “New #Syria Deal” brought to #Turkey by #USA Delegation? Since #Russia insists on not having been engaged in these recent #Idlib #Syria bombings: Is this a synthetically-created Pretext in what was planned & decided almost 3 months ago?

Breaking- Russia Provides Turkey with Needed “Justification” to Back Down from S-400 Deal While Saving Face! newsbud.com/2019/05/07/bre…

From #Turkey media today on: “How atrociously #Russia with its bombing turned these two toddlers into orphans & critically injured them.” - - - ”Rusya'nın saldırısında öksüz kalan İdlibli kardeşler yoğun bakımda”. yenihaberden.com/rusyanin-saldi…

This is only one example among hundreds of headlines in #Turkey In the last 48 hrs. A 180 Degree Turn in #Turkey-#Russia new alliance. Meanwhile: Why Secrecy & Media Blackout on #Trump Meeting with #USA Senators in WhiteHouse Yesterday on #Turkey #S400 #Sanctions?

Another Turkish Media Outlet Reports: “#Russia May be causing annulment of #Astana Agreement with #Turkey on #Idlib #Syria”- - - “ANALİZ - Rusya'nın İdlib tavrı Astana sürecini çökertebilir” m.timeturk.com/analiz-rusya-n…

#MSM #Blackout- I’m going to ask U to take on what a real media is obligated to do: “Inform.” This is a “Blinking-Red” Geopolitical Alert 4 the region.Please inform using the Pinned tweet & the entire posts on this same threat. Reporting live from #Turkey via @sibeledmonds
