Gulen's Harmony Science Academy "Keeping Secrets"

Gulen Schools are like a Virus Replication.

It is very difficult to comprehend their goals until you realize one very simple point, noted by Aydin Ozipek in his 2009 thesis. Ozipek went to a Gulen high school in Turkey, and then attended Fatih University, which is also run by the Gulen Movement. He had plenty of chances to observe the GM up close.
Ozipek wrote:
“I conclude that the primary objective of the Gulen Movement is to increase its share of power.”
This is why the Gulen Movement constantly mutates – just as a virus does under hostile conditions – and this continual process of adaptation and re-invention makes it indeed difficult to pin down. The GM doesn’t really stand for anything; it claims to promote education and to be a “civil society” movement, yet it doesn’t have any genuine commitment to either education or society (other than its own society-within-a-society.)
In Turkmenistan, the GM was quite willing to be complicit as the dictatorship of Saparmurat Niyazov utterly destroyed public education. A high-level Gulenist translated the onerous book Ruhnama, Niyazov’s incoherent treatise which replaced all other textbooks in Turkmenistan’s schools. All this was fine by them, as long as the GM could build their own elite schools and get business connections in Turkmenistan.
It is no different here in the US. Gulenists don’t leave their history and methodology behind when they come to our country. Here, they have played all sorts of manipulation games to convince everyone their schools are “excelling” while gleefully repeating the mantra about “our failing public schools.” Just to give one example, the Harmony schools in Texas require (yes, *require*) proof of acceptance to a college to graduate from high school. This is explicitly stated in school documents. Yet in their promotional material and applications for new charters, they boast that their “100% college acceptance rate” speaks to their proven educational model. When college acceptance is required to graduate, “100% college acceptance” becomes a tautology – yet this clever trick has fooled numerous people, including journalists.
It’s all about acquisition of power, which of course involves money too, siphoned off the schools in various ways, and recruitment of sympathizers by whatever means. Politicians can be won over with money, naive but well-meaning citizens can be won over with Turkey trips, and students are purposefully befriended by teachers who (parents are in awe of their amazing dedication!) try to spend as much time with them as possible in extracurricular activities. Guess why.
To add to the confusion, many individuals have leaped to the conclusion that religious indoctrination is taking place in the schools, despite the complete lack of evidence. It is not the point at all. The teachers befriend carefully selected students (preferably the highest-performing ones) without any sort of preaching. It isn’t necessary for the plan. Once firmly ensconced in the Gulenist web, the students will serve the movement by speaking and writing favorably of their school, defending the GM (“I know these people very well and they are the finest and most dedicated educators…….the accusations are absurd…..”) and helping the GM to build more schools, get more money, plant more people in influential positions, build more schools, get more money, plant more people in influential positions, build more schools,….etc.
Just think of it as a virus that never stops replicating and has endless capacity to mutate

Gulen "Imam inordusu" Imam's Army, a book about Islamic Imam Fethullah Gulen

Our boy Gulen was the subject of a recent book written by Turkish journalist Ahmet Sik -- a book that Gulen did not find too flattering -- to say the least. Had it been published, Sik's  book, The Iman's Army,  would have most likely been a global best seller. But more importantly,  it would have exposed Gulen and his band of merry thieves, causing Gulen and his cult some major public relations problems. 
 
So Gulen and his cronies did what they do best -- they framed the guy, along with many other journalists and had them arrested. It was a good day for the Gulenites and a bad day for freedom of speech. 

Of course Gulen denied having anything to do with it, but if you read Sik's book, it will soon become crystal clear that in fact, Gulen and his Turkish mafia had everything to do with it.

According to a story in the Philadelphia Inquirer, when the Turkish newspaper The Zaman asked Gulen about Sik's arrest, he reportedly replied, "Many books against me personally have been published, but I have never been engaged in efforts to prevent the publication of a book" (Gatti).

Sure Gulenites, we believe that like we believe that your cult members are more qualified to teach American students than American teachers, like we believe that you are not extorting money from your own people,  and like we believe that you do not threaten, intimidate, harass, and yes -- have people imprisoned -- when they don't conform to your cult mentality.

And the Easter Bunny is on the way...

The book is written in Turkish and requires translation.

Harmony Science Academy wins Trophys at their OWN contests- Science Olympiad

Lets clarify something here, the Science Olympiads are contests that are sponsored and owned by the Gulen Charter Schools.  These are held in all the states they are in, sponsored by the Gulen

NGOs.  Hard to lose when you own the contests.

High School Students Bring the Trophy Home!

Congratulations to the HS Advancement Science Olympiad Team on their great success at the Texas A & M University Corpus Christi regional competition on March 26, 2011. HS Advancement team won first place as a team and qualified for the state-wide Science Olympiad competition on May 6^th and 7^th at Texas A & M University.
