Who Is the US Listening to in Turkey

The National Security Agency's spying scandal is about to turn into a global crisis. How can the U.S. explain a monitoring operation that included almost everyone in the world including America's own citizens, companies, military units, generals, leaders and bankers? An unseen organization beyond the official U.S. administration has used the United States' economic and political power to take the world into the palm of its hands.

In the past, it was individuals and organizations that were categorized as enemies which were listened to, watched and followed. Now every movement of states, leaders and allied nations are being watched, tracked and reported. It's not just states and politicians, but leaders, companies, meetings, international symposiums, media organizations, large-scale sessions organized by the United Nations and even the G-20 which are being listened to.

All of this emerged during the NSA listening scandal. There is a question of whether this organization even listened to Barack Obama. This deep intelligence structure has practically taken the planet under control, morphed into another power, disregarded states and the international system, and gotten to the point where they nearly manage the entire world. Just think of what an organization with that amount of information could make nations, leaders and companies do, the type of pressure they could create and the ways in which they could manipulate the global system.

The world is experiencing deep crisis, frustration and shock. From Latin America to Southeast Asia and from Europe to the Middle East, everyone is quarreling bitterly. This crisis, an intelligence crisis, is big enough to go from being a question of illegality to shaking up many nations’ relations with the United States and creating new power structures.

Just look at Asia: Both China and Indonesia protested against the United States. They had announced that this situation hasn't just affected security issues but will also hurt political relations. Malaysia had a similar reaction. India is trying to take alternative measures. All Asian nations are lashing out at Australia which has one of the main bases in the global listening network.

European countries like Germany, France and Spain are trying to call the U.S. to account but the reply they are getting is: ''We're monitoring terror groups from war regions in your countries.'' There is nothing for them to do but sit down and shut up. There is great anger from Mexico to Brazil.

The United States has been carrying out monitoring throughout the world from 90 diplomatic headquarters. There are monitoring stations in the Canadian, Australian, British, Israeli, Thai, Burmese and Cambodian embassies. The intelligence for all of Asia was organized from Australia and Thailand.

American missions were also used as monitoring stations in almost all of Europe. It has been revealed that 35 leaders were listened to. You could almost call this all of the leaders in the world.

The World Bank, IMF, the United Nations, the pope, American political and military leaders ... Almost everyone is on the list. Individuals have been monitored by their own nations for a long time. The U.S. has been monitoring for decades. However, this time allies have started to deceive and undermine each other. They even monitored the 2007 Environment Summit which was attended by 10,000 people.

This may be the first time that this type of monitoring operation has been undertaken on a global scale. Allies were already sharing this type of information with each other and carrying out joint operations. But in this case, allies started to listen to each other. A great wave of distrust has spread. This crisis will certainly have ramifications for the future, and relationships between countries and regions won’t be able to be repaired and returned to their previous state.

They're going to place monitoring drones on the bottom of the sea. When the time is right, they'll listen at the surface. They might even come out of the water and listen to that region! Now unmanned spy planes are underwater!

Did you notice something? While the world was rocked by this scandal, it hasn't even come up in Turkey. No one is properly debating, investigating or even showing these events to the public.

This can’t be a coincidence or the result of lack of interest. In my opinion a ''blackout'' is being carried out in Turkey. Someone wants to prevent Turkish citizens from discussing such a subject.

Maybe they are afraid of the questions that will be asked. For example: Where is Turkey in all of this? Were Turkey's leaders, companies, public institutions, strategic units or military administration listened to? Were there monitoring stations or operation centers in the American embassy in Ankara or the diplomatic mission in Istanbul like there were in other nations? Who is being listened to? How is Turkey being followed? Does this scandal have any relation to the recent trips made by Russian spy planes on the border of Turkish air space? Is there a link between the information given by Edward Snowden to Russia and the movement of these planes? What are the American monitoring stations, which for decades have been carrying out operations in Turkey, up to these days?

In the middle of this commotion, for there not to be any sort of leak related to Turkey, and for this issue to be kept off the agenda in Turkey is bothersome. They are clearly hiding the truth from us. The hint that there is a relationship between the monitoring scandal and Turkey is the bugging devices that were found in the prime minister's office.

Those who view it from this vantage point will reach shocking conclusions about the widely discussed spying scandal and its link to Turkey. The matter has been investigated. Let’s see how much will be shared with the public, and how much we can learn about the ramifications of this scandal in Turkey. We're going to find out who the players are in the secret missions being held in Turkey's branch of the global network.
