Every CHP member will be arrested one day

A world first! For the first time in a country, being a supporter of the regime is being punished. Being against the regime is being rewarded with a pat on the back. So how long will this schizophrenic state last? How sustainable is it?

The detentions that we wake up to every morning have become so commonplace that we say, “Every Ce-Ha-Pe member will be arrested one day.” Operations that are glamorized and ‘edited’ with big productions… It seems that you don’t need to be a Ce-Ha-Pe member, being an average dissident is enough to be arrested. In fact, looking at Ayşe Barım, it can be seen that being a dissident is not a condition for being arrested, and that even someone who is quite apolitical can be put behind bars. The reason? We don’t know the reason. You can be detained even for an arbitrary action like tearing up your diploma. And at dawn!

In a country where the Constitution has been trampled, law has become a mere tool for harassment. Winning elections, disapproving of everything that is done, being a voice that demands what is reasonable rather than the opposite, winning the hearts of citizens are among the crimes that deserve judicial harassment…

First the punishment is decided, then a crime is invented. The biggest crime is to be on the side of the regime. A secular, democratic republic with a rule of law… If you swear to protect the regime, you can be expelled from the army like a lieutenant. Like Ümit Özdağ, even if he is sentenced to the crime he is accused of, you can be imprisoned even though he is not in jail because the main thing is the punishment, not the crime. Like Ekrem İmamoğlu, even if the indictment is not ready, you are kept in Silivri. Being a former mayor like Tunç Soyer is enough to make you an appetizer for big productions as if an international criminal organization had been dismantled.

I don't know how many times anti-regime slogans are chanted in Taksim and Istiklal Street, which are forbidden to everyone, calls for sharia, and slogans such as "Death to Kemalists" are chanted, but none of these constitute a crime, despite the law stating otherwise. Forget being arrested or detained, they are not even subject to investigation. If swearing, insults and threats are directed at supporters of the regime, they never lead the people to hatred and hostility, and do not amount to the crime of openly humiliating a section of the people.

In this dual legal system, what is expected of us is to believe that the cards are not fraudulent.

Okay! TS Eliot said, "Laws are strong and immutable, but what if mercy is stronger than the law? What can be done in the face of that?" Forget conscience, mercy, high virtues and morality; just apply the law, which is plain, flat, and concrete.

Also, don't think that those outside are free. They are also captives in a different way...

TO BE OR NOT TO BE A KEMALIST

It seems that, just like in the Ergenekon plots, a hand is pursuing designs that are not in the best interest of this country. Some are in collaboration with old and some with new partners…

Yaşar Nuri Öztürk said that this nation made very wrong decisions, was ungrateful and would pay the price for it. I have never seen life forgive ungratefulness.

Our intellectual, with his attitudes that remind us of adolescent delusions, thinks it is a feat to turn up his nose at the man to whom he owes all his freedom, lifestyle, profession, position, equal opportunities, the right to vote and be elected, women's rights, financial system and industry. Even his fashion designer cannot find anything to say, he constantly criticizes Atatürk. He attacks the Turkish Revolution as if there was a better alternative a hundred years ago. Does this state have no faults? There are! I can explain it all day long. It is one thing to identify and criticize the mistakes made by those who have taken over the state organization from time to time - and mistakes are being made right now and we are criticizing exactly these - and it is another to attack the regime and the republic... We do not know what anyone says or understands when we say Kemalist. We do not know what Kemalism is that the adolescent delusional intellectual turns up his nose at. Let it not be misunderstood; I do not believe that anyone has to follow an 'ism' or choose it as a label. My criticism is of this label and the humiliations made based on this label.

We saw in the Leman case that, for a group that is quite aggressive, anyone who supports a modern, civilized, secular regime are Kemalists who deserve to be killed or exiled from the country.

Whether you are a Kemalist or hate Kemalists, you are a Kemalist who deserves to be killed because you wear ripped jeans - for them. These are the prices we pay that Yaşar Nuri Öztürk talked about.

They got into bed with Satan again. They will be hit again.

One day, March 19th will be remembered as a conspiracy. Being the victim of that day will be considered a badge of honor.
