Turkey Defies the U.S. and Western Media as President Erdoğan Wins Popular Vote – Victory in Runoff Almost Certain

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan emerged victorious in today's national Turkish elections, despite the Western Media's attempts to discredit the conservative Turkish President, and support his main opponent, liberal Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu. As I reported last week, even the Right Wing Christian Conservative media put out hit pieces against Erdoğan and supported Kılıçdaroğlu, in spite of his liberal pro-LGBT views in a country that is 99% percent Muslim. The reason why the Christian Right sided with Biden and the democrats to try and affect the Turkish national elections, is because both sides in the U.S., both the "liberals" and the "conservatives", overwhelmingly support the war in Ukraine while demonizing Russia. At the time of writing this article, over 64 million people in Turkey, which has a population of about 85 million, had cast their vote and about 97% of the ballots had been counted, giving Erdoğan a 2.3 million vote lead over his nearest opponent, the U.S.-backed Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu. Erdoğan is just short of reaching 50% of the popular vote at this point, which would mean that there will be a runoff between him and Kılıçdaroğlu in two weeks. Unless something happens to Erdoğan in the meantime, he is all but assured to win the runoff elections. A few days before the elections, one of the other candidates for President, Muharrem İnce, withdrew from the race over allegations that a recording of him in a sex scandal had surfaced. İnce claimed that the tape was a deepfake, using footage taken from “an Israeli porn site”. Western media sources were quick to predict that İnce's withdrawal would help Kılıçdaroğlu defeat Erdoğan. If İnce was correct in blaming this on a smear attack by Israeli and U.S. sources to boost Kılıçdaroğlu's chances of winning the election, then the plan didn't work, as Erdoğan still came close to reaching 50%, and could still potentially reach that amount at the time of this writing, as some votes have not been calculated yet.

The Real Reason Why the U.S. is Trying to Control the Elections in Turkey this Week

Yesterday, (May 7, 2023), there was a rally of reportedly 1.7 million people at Istanbul’s Atatürk Airport showing support for Turkey's current president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, ahead of national elections this coming Sunday, May 14th. On Saturday, (May 6, 2023), Erdoğan's opponent for president in the national elections, Kemal Kiliçdaroglu, also held a rally in Istanbul, Turkey's largest city, but I have been unable to find any published reports about how large the crowds were, although some of the foreign English media have reported that the crowds were in "the thousands" or "tens of thousands." The media here in the U.S., however, in both the corporate media and the alternative media, are reporting that President Erdoğan is either losing or in a close race with Kiliçdaroglu, as they characterize Erdoğan as losing support in an election that "really matters." Why do they say that this election "really matters"? They use the same old excuse they always use when the U.S. has an interest in interfering with elections in other countries where they do not like the outcome: "democracy is at stake." As someone who has lived for many years in Turkey in the past, and was at one time fluent in Turkish and worked as a translator in Turkey, I am going to report the "other side" of this Turkish election that you are not likely going to read in Western English news reports. To sum up the "other side" of why the United States does not want Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to be re-elected as President of Turkey, it is because Turkey is clearly choosing sides in the conflict between the U.S. and Russia in Ukraine, and they are choosing their neighbor, Russia, who is helping Turkey become energy and military independent from the U.S., and part of a larger coalition of Middle Eastern Countries who are banding together to fight years of U.S. military dominance in their region over oil. Some have even suggested that the deadly earthquake in Turkey earlier this year was not natural, but caused by an HAARP (High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program) weapon used by the U.S. to punish Turkey for working together with Russia.
