Turkish President Erdogans Bodyguards Beat Up US Protesters ---- Again

the scum referred to Americans protesting in the United States as Terrorists while he was in New York







The skirmish happened shortly after Trump said the leader is “getting very high marks.”

On Thursday, President Donald Trump showered praise upon the increasingly autocratic Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. “It’s a great honor and privilege—because he’s become a friend of mine—to introduce President Erdogan of Turkey,” Trump told reporters at a bilateral meeting in New York, where both leaders have been this week for the UN General Assembly. “He’s running a very difficult part of the world. He’s involved very, very strongly and, frankly, he’s getting very high marks.”

Just hours later, Erdoğan’s bodyguards were captured on camera brutally beating up U.S. protesters inside the Marriott Marquis Hotel in Times Square, where Erdoğan was giving a “special address” to a reception in his honor.

Well, Ohnesorg's killer was a (W-)German police officer. And a spy for East Germany. Ezior Sep 2017 #6

Have you heard? The new right-wing talking-point is that Heather Heyer wasn't run over by a car in Charlottesville. The car just slightly bumped into her and she had a heart-attack because she was such a fat cow. But you won't hear that on the mainstream-media. You only hear the truth by going to fringe websites that do not provide sources for their claims.

So if you have an Ohnesorg moment, it would be some police officer killing someone at an anti-Trump rally, and that police officer would work for the Kremlin.

It's still not clear if Karl-Heinz Kurras, the killer and spy for East Germany, acted on orders of the secret police Stasi or killed him simply because he wanted to. It would fit with some of the other stuff coming from the Kremlin and their underlings, to stir up emotions in the left-wing movement in W-Germany, which was already pretty Anti-American back then IIUC..

We are slowly edging more and more in that direction. Remember some of the scenes at trump's rallies with protestors and think about his spoken admiration for these tin pot strongmen, Erdogan and Duterte being prime examples.
