It's the remains of the govt. who is claiming it's Gulen, I'd take that particular bit as suspect at the moment.

Take care of yourself Big K“He was the most prodigious personification of all human inferiorities. He was an utterly incapable, unadapted, irresponsible, psychopathic personality, full of empty, infantile fantasies, but cursed with the keen intuition of a rat or a guttersnipe. He represented the shadow, the inferior part of everybody’s personality, in an overwhelming degree, and this was another reason why they fell for him.”

i am at the most western point of Istanbul so we are away from it thanks God.
seems that things are now under control by erdogan's forces... he can now play "champion of democracy" and be a president...Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none; be able for thine enemy rather in power than use; and keep thy friend under thine own life's key; be checked for silence, but never taxed for speech.

To make mistakes is human. To blame someone else for your mistake, is strategic.

There's reports of a chopper still firing on government and military buildings in Ankara.
Erdogans private jet was doing weird holding patterns over the marmara sea before it finally landed at Ataturk airport. Reports of tanks on the way to Ataturk airport too. Various factions of the Turkish military have come out against the coup, and most telling, all parties, MHP, CHP etc have all come out as STRONGLY AGAINST the coup and decrying it.
Coup seems to be finished. Erdogan is really going to benefit a lot from this if he comes through.

Yup. media war. A couple of journalists start up TV to encourage people onto the streets ala Erdogans demand, then promptly get shut down again by soldiers.
Meanwhile, from the BBC
A European Union source tells the Reuters news agency: "It looks like a relatively well orchestrated coup by a substantial body of the military, not just a few colonels." "They control several strategic points in Istanbul. Given the scale of the operation, it is difficult to imagine they will stop short of prevailing," the source adds.In the realm of spirit, seek clarity; in the material world, seek utility.
