Local Armenian Genocide Denier Issues Lamest Legal Threat Ever!

We hadn't heard anything particularly wacky from Orange County's own obsessive Ottoman, the racist Ergun Kirlikovali of Coto de Caza, for quite some time--that is, anything other than the same tired slanders he spews of Armenians as treasonous ingrates and those who know the Ottoman Empire genocided Armenians around World War I as anti-Turkish. I actually stopped regularly checking Turkla.com, a Turkish-American website where he is the featured columnist, to see if Kirlikovali had published anything recently, which means I'm late to the party that is his June 25th column.

It apparently has something to do with a U.S. District judge striking down a lawsuit filed by Turkish-American activists back East trying to get their view of the Armenian genocide (it didn't happen) taught in high school courses, a proposal as hilarious as Holocaust deniers trying to speak at the Museum of Tolerance. Blah blah blah Kirlikovali writes, before issuing an interesting boast.

"Just like anti-Semitism is quickly identified, condemned, litigated, and punished, all within the confines of the law, so shall be anti-Turkism. Next time you say genocide, you'd better be prepared to prove it with a court order, just like Nuremberg's, otherwise you might be served one," Kirlikovali warns. Any statement on the Armenian genocide that doesn't conform to Kirlikovali's twisted "truth", he adds, "shall be challenged down to its last comma and period. Period!"

Boy, where to begin--I know! Kirlikovali and his supporters still insist that believing the Armenian genocide happened is somehow anti-Turkish, a position so ridiculous it needs no addressing. But to compare fighting anti-Semitism to fighting perceived faults against the Turkish nation? Sick. As for his legal threat? Sure, I'll take the bait.

The Armenian genocide happened. The Armenian genocide happened. The Armenian genocide happened. The Armenian genocide happened. The Armenian genocide happened. The Armenian genocide happened. The Armenian genocide happened. The Armenian genocide happened. The Armenian genocide happened. The Armenian genocide happened. The Armenian genocide happened. The Armenian genocide happened.

You can look up my work address, Ergun, but I'd rather you serve me papers at Doner G.

Last time I checked, it was OK to be anti-Ottoman Empire (Just like it's OK to be anti-Third Reich). Especially since it doesn't exist anymore.

What most people do not realize is that Israel has funded this movement against legitimizing the Armenian Genocide. And we all know how Israel completely controls Washington DC.

Apparently the foaming wingnut sultan de Coto wants us to cower, just like they do back in glorious repressive Turkey.

What is amazing is that Ergun is now president elect of ATAA, a seriously taken umbrella group of Turkish American groups. And it is more: according to the 2005
Vanity Fair piece on former FBI translator Sibel Edmonds, ATAA
was surveilled by the FBI. Ergun, if you see dark blue Crown Vics everywhere, it's not your imagination.

Dear people of Earth,

In addition to prohibiting Americans from saying there was an Armenian Genocide, the ATAA also now prohibits reference to Turkeys as flightless birds, Turkish towels, Turkish taffy, Turkey-lurky, Turkeys as dumb birds, or to any reference to Armenians, Greeks, Arabs, Assyrians, Kurds, Maronites, Alewis, Greek Cypriots, Pontians, Nestorians or Orhan Pamuk.

Gustavo,

heard the piece on air. Good job. If a Turkish man looking like Boris badanov
starts following you around in a blue crown Vic, you'll know ergo is worried.

I visited some friends over the weekend and they suggested I buy a place that's going on the market near kirlikovalis house. Maybe, if I can use a spare bedroom for Armenian political activities. I'd like to walk my Armenian shepard by his ratnest McMansion twice daily without the plastic bag.

Reading this should send him scurrying to Barstow.

Sibel Edmonds testimony update from brad blog concerning espionage and corruption by the Turkish lobby. Case of the century

"From my opinion, if I'm some of the current members of Congress, I'd be very very worried about the information that's going to come out of this. There are current members of Congress that she has implicated in bribery, espionage. It's not good. It's crazy, it's absolutely crazy. For people in power situations in the United States, who know about this information, if they don't take action against it, in my opinion, it's negligence.

[Which current members have been implicated?]

[Dan] Burton (R-IN), described as basically accepting bribes and involved in espionage for the Turkish government...she could not discuss the extremely illegal activities that Mr. Burton committed against U.S. interests, as she put it.

Also, a current female Democratic member of Congress who has been blackmailed by the Turkish Government...called a 'hooking exercise'...she's apparently bi-sexual and they bugged her apartment, she's married with children, and they set up a relationship with another female who went in and had sexual relationships with her. And they had all the episodes bugged within this current Representatives home and they blackmailed her. ... She wouldn't give her name, but her photograph [is the one with the question mark on it in the "Sibel Edmonds Rogue Gallery" ] .

The context of the discussion was that this particular Representative was amenable to passage of the Armenian Genocide Resolution. And then based on this 'hooking' operation, changed her position. She was reluctant to put this person's name on record.

[Other people implicated included] Livingston (R-TX), Hastert (R-IL), Dick Gephardt (D-MO), other non-Congressional members, people like Brent Scowcroft, other appointed members of the U.S. government.

One of the reasons we sought her testimony is especially for these reasons. I can tell you that counsel for Schmidt has been objecting to much of the testimony. I stopped counting the number of objections that were raised. But, she's an extremely credible witness, she knows a lot about what happened. She's implicated Turkish organizations operating in the U.S. with both overt and covert operations.

[Q: Which ones?]

ATC, ATAA, TACO...She talked about how she was recruited to join these operations, she talked about the fact that the Inspector General's report exonerated her, she talked about the circumstances around her dismissal, she talked about the fact that these the fact that these Turkish American operations were, she said in her words 'all receiving support from the Turkish government'.

She talks about one of the main lobby issues is suppressing U.S. media coverage of the Armenian Genocide and preventing the Armenian Genocide resolution in Congress from passing. She said very very strongly that is one of their major issues.

She also attested there is no credible opposition to the historical facts of the Armenian genocide, that it's only coming from Turkey.

[Ed note: Edmonds was raised in Turkey, though is a U.S. citizen. Krikorian is of Armenian dissent. Schmidt is neither, but she is co-chair of the Congressional Turkish Caucus.]

Did not have very flattering things to say about former U.S. House Speaker Dennis Hastert. ... Actually, I stopped taking notes because I was o fascinated by what she was saying. ... She talked about the Rand Corp., Brewster-Jennings, nuclear secrets...

Frankly it's disappointing that things like this are happening in the land of the free and the home of the brave. Is it a huge surprise? No. Should it be tolerated? Absolutely not. I can't imagine George Washington and Thomas Jefferson allowing this sort of thing to go on in the Republic that they created. I cannot imagine it.

We're talking about High Crimes against the United States government. If the Government is aware of these High Crimes and doesn't prosecute them, I'm not sure what can be said about this."

[More shortly...]

Its all been fun and games until now, if you consider genocide ratification and denial fun and games. But there is a more serious and urgent issue than recognition of the Genocide, or the clownish boorishness of the human pork bun with combover, e.g. Mr. Kirlikovali.

The urgent issue is investigation of the charges Ms. Edmonds makes, which call into question the integrity of our government, and whether foreign powers - Turkey, for one - have corrupted Members of Congress, specifically to deny or stall recognition of the Genocide. These charges, all of which can be verified by FBI tapes and witnesses who created them, demand an immediate public investigation.

From our good friends at the Turkish American lobby, there is a reaction far worse than embarassed silence. The TCA has attacked Ms. Edmonds without citing facts, and The Esteemed Caliph of Coto has attacked Sibel Edmonds with childish names.

What the Turkish American lobby should be doing is demanding that law enforcement find out who, if anyone, from the Lobby, its lobbyists, and the Turkish Government may know about or have facilitated the corruption Ms. Edmonds describes as having taken place 1996-2002, all of which is corroborated by the Inspector General of the FBI.

These people appear to have no regard for the safety of the country in which they live. To the degree they willingly turn a blind eye towards threats to the Republic, and denounce Ms. Edmonds, they are disloyal and yes, traitors to America.
