Colorado- Godfather Gulen and his Mafia want to make you an offer you cannot refuse

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--AD76wnOWI  <----Gulen as the GODFATHER, Don Gulen

On November 11, 2010, Gulen's Lotus School for Excellence which shamelessly hides inside of a church in Aurora, Colorado is once again presenting to the St. Vrain Valley School District a charter application for another school.  As you may or may not know, they have been turned down on their expansion before, seems they don't perform as well as the "scholars" say they are.  Maybe they need to step it up on their Turkish Character classes or perhaps MORE FREE trips to Turkey or local Turkish Cultural Events ironically staged around the time they are due to present (AGAIN) their proposal.
So WHO are the lucky recipients of Mosaic Foundations FREE trips to Turkey?-for those of you beginner Gulen enthusiasts Mosaic Foundation is Gulen's Interfaith Dialog group in Colorado.  Any guesses?..............
As usual the recipients of the FREE "dog and pony" shows to Turkey are members of local Academia, Politics and Media.  The only catch to their FREE trips is that they must write GLOWING reports about Gulen's schools and how the people were so kind.
What they don't report in these STAGED trips is the civil unrest and INVESTIGATION of the Gulen Movement in Turkey vs. the Kemalist who believe in a secular country.  Or about the PKK threatening one Gulen School in SE Turkey (more about this in a later post) or about the hostility that Turkey shows toward their indigenous Christian population.    Here you go the information on the FREE "Dog and Pony" Shows to Turkey, they even get to visit Gulen's media empire Zaman where Gulen's Mafia cleverly controls all the sweet kind stories about Don Gulen The Godfather of the Gulen Mafia.  Do any of you know that my Turkey still has a censorship policy called Article 301--Under Article 301 if a journalist dares to print the truth about Turkey they could and have been arrested for "insulting Turkishness", - Ask Nobel Prize winner Orham Pamuk.
       Several trips to Turkey for Colorado Academia, Politicians and Journalists:

Alan Gottlieb a local educator in Colorado was sent to report back how great the Gulen education is in Turkey.

This has been done from state to state, some send the local TV news stations as in the case of Dan Marries by Accord Institute’s sister schools in Arizona. Who in turn did a series on the trip to Turkey with the students from SSA.

We learned today why other countries are eating our lunch when it comes to education. We paid a visit to Ibrahim Büyükkoyuncu hıgh school on the outskirts of Konya, a provincial capital in south-central Turkey. It’s a private Gülen school for boys grades 9-12. Actually, it’s two schools in one (and there is a girl’s equivalent across town) – one focused on sciences, one on languages. (One of the many excerpts from Gottlieb’s blog) by the way this is untrue, Turkey’s educational system is horrid and corrupt

Mayor Chad Auer gets a complimentary trip to Turkey by the Gulen Interfaith people – note his slide show photos one is in front of Gulen”s Zaman – Newspaper media.  Chad Auer is the mayor of Firestone, CO, 13 miles from Longmont where the second Lotus school is trying to open.

Ya think Chadster will try and recommend the Charter School Application?

Reporters of the Vail Daily in Turkey – Dennis Jones and Yolanda Marshall 

Fethullah Gülen is a Turkish intellectual now living in Pennsylvania. His writings have inspired a movement, said to have the sympathies of 75 percent of Turks. One of its primary goals is education. Later, we are to visit several schools and a university built by the movement- EXCERPT FROM THEIR TRAVEL BLOG TO TURKEY….I GUESS WE KNOW WHO PAID FOR THIS TRIP DON’T WE?
