First of all thanks for your thoughtf...Dear Claire,<br />First of all thanks for your thoughtful concerns about Turkey. I could't find a connection between the earthquake and a military coup. If this is a plan made at Hudson Institute, I don't know but the times of coup are done. Military do not have that unity at all. Even though I find your concerns sincere your determinations are so shallow.<br />We had 3 military coups before, it is nothing but chaos. Antagonists, leftists, and some part of Islamists will suffer. Military coups works like casino "house always wins", SAME people will survive and win like the previous ones. <br />My family suffered from March 12, 1971 and September 12, 1980. The last thing I want to see a military coup.<br />I still can't/don't see the connection between earthquake... Military Coup conditions are severely different when you look at 3 military coups before 60 years behind. If you say that earthquake will be the trigger, it might be... but as I said military is not that powerful any more.<br />I'm writing a thesis about Coup d'etad May 27 1960 so military coups are my special subject.<br />For the pessimist talks, yes that is the real danger we have to face with. As Abdi İpekçi said "Negligence is the worst thing you would do". We have to keep on fighting with fascism, fascist governments, fascist military, child abusers, animal abusers who ever is fascist..<br />Thanks for your time for reading.<br /><br />Ceren CandemirAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6783479395675366499.post-9830327051719644322010-02-08T21:27:54.724+02:002010-02-08T21:27:54.724+02:00It has such a double or multiple meaning though.
&...It has such a double or multiple meaning though.<br />"For isn't noir, in the end, about the fact that evil is always there, and although a good man must go down those mean streets, there's no guarantee he'll win, or even survive?"<br />JJ Gittes after he goes and "gets" the truth will never really be able to forget it. In Chinatown the corruption and evil are reccgnized and dealt with. They can't be eliminated but they can be worked with through and around. The danger is the rest of the city where this is not so. Evil is hidden and denied. That gives it it's power. When the connections are uncovered in Chinatown they can be dealt with even though not removed. After all, the city really did need the water and the San Fernando Valley. The passivity and hiddenness of the problems and corruption made it hard to deal with. <br />Jake never really is doing as he says "as little as possible". He helps who and where he can, esp. those he sees as powerless.<br />Your project, if it can be done, won't get rid of shoddy practices but can mitigates against them by bringing them to light and plannig forr the future. You can learn to fight like Jake by making reality seen, by "getting it". <br />Just don't get your nose cut. your face is too lovely.Erik Painternoreply@blogger.com
