The Gulen charter schools have been up to all sorts of no good in the US, see http://www.nola.com/education/baton-rouge/index.ssf/2013/12/...

If you really want to understand the mentality of people that would lead them to submit to an organization like that, I suggest reading "Black Book" by Orhan Pamuk.

(As an aside, we met 2-3 years back in Portland a few times at some of those New Relic meet ups, I hope neocities is still doing well!)

I'm certainly not ruling out that this could all be true. What I'd love to see is a compilation of evidence.

There's a great site on Neocities that's been doing this with Scientology since our foundation and is regularly updated https://scientology.neocities.org

(Neocities is going strong, thank you!)

Posted this earlier in another thread, but this is an interesting, well-referenced, and us-based analysis supporting his claims: http://www.meforum.org/2045/fethullah-gulens-grand-ambition

This coup thing is very well organized and trust me. I'm secular and not following mainstream media. Mainstream media didn't say anything about US or who's behind this. But I'm telling you the truth, these people or gulenist people whatever you call are supported by some organization or people residing in North America.

Eh, all things considered, the coup seems very badly organized in retrospect. Not nearly enough support from the army and therefore doomed to fail.

“Battles have been won against greater odds” John Snow.

Jokes aside, most of these generals were already getting arrested or getting kicked out of the military in the following weeks, they just decided to actually do the crime they are getting arrested for

I can only see a timing problem.
