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?

Who is Fethullah (Esek) Gulen? and what is the Gulen Movement?

Who is Fethullah (Esek) Gulen and what is the Gulen Movement?

June 9, 2010;  last updated Oct 21, 2010

Fethullah Gulen is the most powerful religious leader in Turkey today, even though he lives in Pennsylvania.

Since the 1970s, Gulen and his followers have slowly built up a network of educational institutions, non-governmental organizations and businesses that started in Turkey, spread to Central Asia, and now is entrenched in every continent but Antarctica.  This network is called the Gulen Movement.  It is extremely secretive, and many of its members (the "Gulenists") and organizations will not even openly admit their affiliation.  Publicly, the Gulen Movement advertises itself as a grassroots volunteer civil society movement that is interested only in humanitarian and educational works.  Its members like to stress that it is loosely organized with no central coordination.  Outside observers have noted, however, that it is in fact hierarchical and authoritarian, and has political, religious and economic goals.  Psychological pressure tactics appear to be used in recruiting young people as members (such tactics are described in these statements of ex-members, in Dutch, on the website of NOVA, a TV news program in the Netherlands.)
In the 1970s, Gulen's summer camps, tutoring centers and schools openly taught Islam.  However, in response to repression under Turkey's secular regime, the educational institutions shifted to curricula that did not overtly include any Islamic teachings.  Outside of Turkey, the network of Gulen schools has been rapidly expanding all over the world, and around 1999 the Gulenists began to establish publicly-funded charter schools in the United States, where they already had a small number of private schools.  In many (but not all) countries the Gulen schools appear on the surface to be completely secular, yet some observers have found that they covertly engage in missionary activities either after hours in school dormitories, or during other extracurricular activities.

Gulen is extremely controversial in Turkey.  He has many devoted followers.  At the same time, many Turks completely mistrust him, and in fact see him as ruining their country.  There is even a book entitled "How was Turkey beseiged: behind the curtains of the Fethullah Gulen Movement" by Merdan Yanardag.  Secularists, who controlled Turkey until recently, suspect Gulen of a secret Islamist agenda within Turkey.  These suspicions led to Gulen leaving Turkey in 1999 to avoid being charged with trying to promote an Islamic state. 

Other Turkish books critical of Gulen's influence on Turkey and its politics include several by Hikmet Cetinkaya, a columnist for the major national newspaper Cumhuriyet.  The late University of Ankara history professor Necip Hablemitoglu, another highly vocal critic of the Gulen Movement, authored "Kostebek" ("The Mole"), detailing the Gulen Movement's infiltration of the Turkish police.  (Hablemitoglu was assassinated in 2002 and the case has never been resolved; his book was published posthumously.)

More recently, a respected former police chief named Hanefi Avci wrote a best-selling book about how the Gulen Movement has infiltrated Turkish institutions and stealthily taken over the state.  In September 2010, not long after this book appeared, Avci was arrested.  It is widely believed that the charges against him are false, and that the underlying reason for the arrest was retaliation for this book.  While opposition to Gulen's influence originally arose mainly within Turkey's staunchly secular community, concerns appear to be spreading even among people who do not particularly identify with the secularists, and Avci's arrest in particular, because of his reputation for integrity, seems to have created a great unease.

The political situation has changed substantially in Turkey since Gulen relocated to the U.S. in 1999; control of the country has slipped from the secularist establishment to the AKP party, which is closely allied with Gulen.  A series of arrests of high-level military officials in early 2010, along with the successful vote on the constitutional referendum in September 2010, are evidence that the AKP has firmly solidified its control of the country.  Despite this fact, and despite Gulen's acquittal of all charges back in 2006, Gulen remains in Pennsylvania, where he leads an extremely reclusive life.  In 2008, the Department of Homeland Security tried to deny Gulen a green card, but a number of his American supporters, including former CIA official Graham Fuller, wrote letters on his behalf, and Gulen prevailed.

Gulen and his schools have been controversial not only in Turkey, but also in Central Asia, Europe, and now the United States as well.

A good introduction to the Gulen Movement can be found in an article by Tim Steller of the Arizona Daily Star, April 25, 2010:
"Gülen movement an enigmatic mix of Turkish nationalism, religion, education"
Steller offers some additional information on the Gulen movement in an article on a chain of Gulen schools that appeared in the same edition of this Arizona newspaper.

Another excellent source of information on the business/economic and political activities of the Gulen Movement is the 2009 PhD thesis of Joshua David Hendrick, University of California, Santa Cruz.

Fethullah Gulen seperated at Birth? You decide.

We will talk about the similitarities later--Hitler's Youth Movement is exactly the same model as Gulen's world wide manipulation of education.  Get em while they are young!!!!  Yes Sir ee!

The Gulen Movement is in DAMAGE CONTROL 24/7

The Gulen Movement aka "Hizmet" are posting overtime on the Internet, acting like satisfied parents and charter school supporters.  There biggest fear is of Ergenekon, which in Turkey is the enemy of  Fethullah Gulen.   Gulen is living in EXILE in the USA - (Poconos, PA) for a reason and it has nothing to do with Gulen's diabetes.  Gulen fled Turkey in 1998 among accusations for overthrowing a secular government.  Currently the Gulen Movement is under investigation in Turkey for over 194 charges of inflitration of (surprise surprise) education, military, politics, media and the local police.    Watch the SAME MODEL being performed before your eyes in the USA. 
Gulen will also hide behind local liberal Christian groups and even invite them to Interfaith Dialog meetings to gain their trust, throw in a free trip to Turkey with a free meal and they have a few supporters (but not for long)  In Colorado, the Gulen School "Lotus School of Excellence" even shares their campus with a Christian Church.  In Missouri the Gulen School purchased a private Catholic School that went out of business.

Isn't this the Islamic way?  Convert the church or tear it down.  This is what the Ottomans did when they invaded the Christian captiol of Constaniople, shamelessly converting the St. Hagia Sofia Church into a Mosque (today it is a Museum) then changing the name of the town to Istanbul.
