There?s a Whole Lotta Political Engineering Goin?

Half its practitioners want to control our thoughts and the rest wonder why no one trusts government.

Turkish State Terrorism Blocks Peaceful Solution to Kurdish Question.
Turkey see only military solution to Kurdish Question.
Turkish Special Forces recently carried out a covert killing of Kurdish Village Guards, state sponsored miltias. This was blamed on the Kurdish Freedom Fighters of the PKK and publicised worldwide. But the truth is that this massacre was carried out by the Turkish authorities, as a pre text to a full scale planned invasion of Kurdistan that is being discussed by Turkish authorities tonight and will be presented to the Turkish parliament tomorrow. Turkish State Terrorism and Turkish State Repression block any peaceful solution to Kurdish Question in Turkey.
The Turkish state is using every weapon in its arsenal to carry out a sustained policy of complete annihilation of ''The Kurdish Question' and all democratic avenues to the Kurds are being closed.
Someone, somewhere, has decided that the old policy of denial, forced assimilation and repression is to be brought back to the fore.
The recent moves towards whole scale repression, including 'state terrorism' in the 'staged' attack of a minibus carrying state sponsored Kurdish militias called 'Village Guards' at Beytüşşebap and the political and illegal racist war being waged in the pages of the Turkish press and courts against the Kurdish deputies of the DTP, should sound alarms bells in the international corridors of power. There is a full frontal brutal attack being implemented and the voices of the Kurdish people are being stifled. The international community are again, to their shame, looking the other way as they did when over 3,000 Kurdish villages, towns and hamlets were forcibly destroyed and the Turkish state went to full military war with its Kurdish population in the Eighties and Nineties.
The Kurdish people who foolishly voted for the AKP seeing them as the best hope for bringing a peaceful and political solution to The Kurdish Question in Turkey will be feeling utterly betrayed, humiliated and very angry. Any hope that anyone had after Abdullah Gul's famous visit to Kurdistan is fast evaporating. After all he was only travelling through the area to visit the front line of Turkey's war against the Kurdish Freedom Movement and give support to the TSK who are pursuing a purely military line. It was a cruel irony that he was welcomed as a great hope for peace. General Buyukanit and the Turkish Generals are the ones in charge in Turkey. Just as the Generals rule Burma so they run Kemalist Turkey!
If the Kurdish Freedom Movement were now to look at this present situation and come to the obvious conclusion. That no-one, no-one is putting forwards solutions for dialogue and peace and the only voices that are being heard are voices of war and hatred coming from the Turkish side, then, who could not see that they would be left with little or no room to continue their efforts for peace. Who knows what the future holds if a decision is made to shut down any further peace overtures and baton down for a further, longer war!
It seems to many that they have been left with little choice.
Nobody in Europe is listening to the increasingly exasperated calls being made from the Kurdish side for political attention to the rapidly deteriorating situation. No-one! And worse, it seems that the only response is to further dump billions of dollars of arms deals in Turkey's lap and look the other way while Turkey ratchets up the military solution. Any Kurdish response is seen and labelled as 'terrorism'. Were the Black South Africans labelled terrorists by the International Community when they took up the armed struggle for their freedom? They were, by a few extreme right wing bigots, like Margaret Thatcher, at the beginning, but generally the international community at least saw their struggle as a legitimate people's freedom struggle against an oppressive regime.
The Palestinians too have their political problems, but they too, are at least seen as having a legitimate cause. The IRA struggled for decades before finally being recognised as a political partner to begin dialogue for a peaceful solution.
The Kurdish cause is arguably more legitimate than all of these struggles put together, they have faced much greater hardships from Kemalist Turkey, yet the international community is blind, deaf and dumb in the face of calls for recognition of the rights of the Kurdish people to struggle for basic human and political rights in one of the most repressive countries who have historically tried to forcibly assimilate and annihilate them. Most prefer to support the oppressive regime.
The situation is now sliding back to how the situation was in the nineties and nobody is doing anything to prevent it. The consequences for Turkey and the surrounding region are dire.
The patience of the Kurdish people will soon explode! They know who are the real terrorists.
And they are fed up with the daily indignities of the racist Kemalist regime in Ankara and the continued psychological war that labels them as 'terrorists' simply for struggling for their rights against a brutal, cruel and oppressive enemy.
Every Kurdish person and anyone who holds sympathy for the Kurdish struggle must do more and be pro active in terms of bringing this situation to the attention of the media, politicians and non governmental organisations. Kurds who have grown up in Europe and support the Kurdish struggle can and should do more.
The Kurdish people in Turkey need solidarity now more than ever before. To legitimise the Kurdish people's struggle for freedom should be the primary aim.
