PRO ERDOGAN SUPPORTERS ATTACK PEACEFUL PROTESTORS IN WASHINGTON, D.C.
BY THE ARMENIAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE OF AMERICA
Published on May 16, 2017
WASHINGTON
(A.W.)—A group of peaceful demonstrators protesting Turkish President
Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s official visit to the United States, were
attacked by pro-Erdogan groups at the Sheridan Circle near the residence
of the Turkish Ambassador to the U.S.
“[This was] the type of
violence you would never expect to see in America’s capital. It was the
type of violence you’d expect to see in Erdogan’s Turkey and in other
dictatorships,” said Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA)
Executive Director Aram Hamparian, who captured parts of the attack and
streamed the aftermath live on the ANCA’s Facebook page. “This is the
very type of intolerance that has come to predominate in Turkey and it
has now been exported here,” he added.
The demonstration, which
began at Lafayette Square at noon, was organized by a coalition of
organizations, including the Armenian National Committee of America
(ANCA) and the American Hellenic Council. Several different groups
participated in the protest including representatives from the Armenian,
Greek, Kurdish, and Assyrian communities.
“I saw a group of
peaceful protesters in Sheridan Circle—a grassy area across from the
Turkish Ambassador’s residence—who were protesting and exercising their
constitutional right to speak their minds, to hold signs, to share their
opinions, and express their views get rushed from across the street by a
group of a pro-Erdogan [demonstrators], who broke through the police
lines and attacked literally anybody within their reach with their fists
and anything else they could get a hold of,” Hamparian said in the live
video moments after the attack. Hamparian went on the explain that the
crowd of Erdogan supporters beat as many people as they could and that
many were bloodied and had to be taken to the hospital.
“This is
exactly the type of violence you see in Ankara and they are exporting it
here. It’s one thing for the Turkish government to do that to its own
citizens—[which is] a terrible thing. It is another thing for us, as
Americans, to see that exported to the United States,” Hamparian said.
The Armenian Weekly will be following this story and provide updates as they become available.

Media, Deep State, GOP RINOs, Democrats and Never Trumpers out to destroy our president “The most courageous act is still to think for yourself. Aloud.” —Coco Chanel The elite media has been caught in so many lies because of false
statements that its whole reputation has eroded, their circulation is
down, and their profits are down. —Geraldo Rivera
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men
to do nothing. Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing
because he could do only a little. Those who don’t know history are
destined to repeat it.” —Edmund Burke Why the Media Lies
Well, Geraldo, you don’t know the half of it, and undoubtedly you
haven’t done your homework to know why the Democratic socialist media is
allowed to lie with impunity. It all started in 1964 with the supreme
court case, NYTs v. Sullivan.
This progressive Warren Court decision destroyed the dignity of the
American people. Prior to ’64, media could not and did not lie about
others for fear of retribution, (i.e., being sued for libel or slander)
but with this SCOTUS decision, all that has changed. We can thank the
liberal 1964 Warren Supreme Court for a unanimous decision in New York Times Company v. Sullivan. Remember, they’re the same court that in 1962 took prayer out of school.
This landmark U.S. Supreme Court case, New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, 376 U.S. 254, 84 S. Ct. 710, 11 L. Ed. 2d 686 (1964), extended the First Amendment‘s guarantee of free speech to LIBEL cases brought by public officials. The Supreme Court sought to encourage public debate by changing the rules involving libel that had previously been the province of state law and state courts.
And now we see what this decision has allowed leftist media to do to
the President chosen by grassroots Americans who were tired of the lies,
deceit and destruction of our beloved country. Middle America had had
enough, and although the pollsters and the pipers tried to convince us
to not even bother to vote, we were fed up with the denizens of the
swamp. It was time, and we got our first non-globalist, non-New World
Order president in decades.
Left Still Screaming Election Rigged
The same party who had ridiculed Trump on his comments about the election being rigged, (see Devvy Kidd’s latest)
started screaming that the election was rigged. They even advocated
having the election repeated. They created mobs that burned and
pillaged, stopped traffic, threatened murder, battery and rape of Trump
supporters, and became the anarchists that the socialist dream thrives
upon. Anything to derail Trump from winning.
The insanity continues blaming the Russians and even Senator Diane Feinstein says,
“We have zero evidence of Russian collusion during the 2016
presidential campaign.” That’s because there is no truth whatsoever to
this claim. However, the leftist media glommed onto it when Trump made a
joke about Hillary’s missing emails.
During one of the Presidential debates, while speaking about the
hacking of DNC emails, Trump made a sarcastic joke and said, “Russia, if
you’re listening, I hope you’ll be able to find the 30,000 emails that
are missing.” And that’s all it took for the Socialist media to accuse
Trump of collusion with Russia. Trump Fires Comey
President Trump fired FBI Director James Comey and was accused of
sharing top-secret intelligence data with the Russian foreign minister
and the Russian ambassador to the United States, the latter a known
Russian spy. The firing was not done with Presidential class, yet I
understand completely why Trump got rid of him, as we all knew Comey was
in Obama’s pocket. And there is far more to this than meets the eye,
more in an upcoming article.
The left hated Comey as they perceived he cost Hillary the election. Reid wanted Comey investigated, the leftist Atlantic stated that Comey had done lasting damage to the FBI, Politico claimed Comey had destroyed Clinton’s chances
and needed to go. Every leftist rag and all the Democrats piled on
Comey, but when Trump fired him, the left was in a predicament. They
are now claiming that Trump interfered with the investigation into the
non-existent Russian involvement in the 2016 election by getting rid of
the man charged with investigating this claim. The hogwash and bull
dung is shoulder deep.
Media Attacks on Trump
The Washington Post, owned by Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, is promoting the
intentional evil destruction of this American electorate supported
presidency. The Post declared that Trump met with the Russian foreign
minister and ambassador and shared intelligence with the Russians, which by the way, he has the right to do. Why? Because, as President, he can declassify anything anytime he chooses.
Undoubtedly a rogue intelligence agent gave this information to the
Post, and in doing so, committed a felony. Typical of the Obama
elitists.
Now the Post has stated
that, “A month before Donald Trump clinched the Republican nomination,
one of his closest allies in Congress — House Majority Leader Kevin
McCarthy — made a politically explosive assertion in a private
conversation on Capitol Hill with his fellow GOP leaders: that Trump
could be the beneficiary of payments from Russian President Vladimir
Putin.”
“There’s two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump,”
McCarthy (R-Calif.) said, according to a recording of the June 15, 2016,
exchange, which was listened to and verified by The Washington Post.
Rep. Dana Rohrabacher is a Californian Republican known in Congress as a
fervent defender of Putin and Russia.
It wasn’t long ago that the leftists all loved Russia and wanted to
snuggle up to them, but now they’re using these lies to say that our
President is in bed with Russia’s leader.
Kevin McCarthy is an obvious globalist neo-con Trotskyite to even suggest such balderdash. The Leaks
All these leaks mean Trump must fear his own Intel Community. He
needs to tell Attorney General, Jeff Sessions, to annul both of his
recusals. The first recusal was given during his confirmation hearing
where he recused himself from ever going after Hillary Clinton’s alleged
criminal actions. The second recusal was that he wouldn’t be in charge
of this phony Russian involvement in the 2016 election.
He also needs to tell AG Sessions to can anyone who was hired by
former administrations, no matter who it was. None of them are
trustworthy.
We are now stuck with Deputy AG, Rod Rosenberg’s choice of
investigator, Robert Mueller, and it was approved by the President.
This is another democrat coup. Who is Robert Mueller?
Democrats have just been gifted their Special Prosecutor by Deputy
Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. Rick Wells reported, “They’re popping
the champagne at the DNC and in various swamp watering holes across the
sewer that is our nation’s capital, one of the many traitors within the
Trump administration has, as is typical, given in to Democrat demands.
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein has named former FBI Director Robert Mueller,
a longtime associate of the fired former FBI Director James Comey, as
the Special Prosecutor they’ve been lusting for.” Rick’s words are spot
on!
Why should we be uncomfortable with Mueller? Here are four reasons
from a fellow researcher… 1) The leftist establishment is comfortable
with him. 2) He worked in tandem with Comey on a couple of high profile
cases. 3) He was chosen as FBI head by George W Bush (hater of Trump and
owner of the words “That was some weird shit,” in describing Trump
Inauguration speech. 4) Obama, felt so comfortable with Mueller that
upon taking office he extended Mueller’s ten-year tenure an additional
two years.
Not exactly a resume I feel comfortable in handing our president’s fate over to.
It is worth reiterating Mueller’s misguided handiwork and
collaboration with radical Islamic organizations as FBI director.
Judicial Watch exclusively obtained droves of records back in 2013
documenting how, under Mueller’s leadership, the FBI purged all
anti-terrorism training material deemed “offensive” to Muslims after
secret meetings between Islamic organizations and the FBI chief.
Judicial Watch had to sue to get the records and published an in-depth report on the scandal in 2013 and a lengthier, updated follow-up in 2015. Read Judicial Watch’s full report.
Also check out Comey and Mueller’s showdown at John Ashcroft’s hospital bed. Link Trump says, “Never Give Up!”
Trump gave a beautiful speech to the Coast Guard Academy
Commencement. Trump told the cadets that “adversity makes you stronger”
and to never “give in,” “back down,” or “stop doing what you know is
right.”
“Nothing worth doing ever, ever, ever came easy,” he said. “And the
more righteous your fight, the more opposition that you will face.”
Here is his entire speech, and everything he says is spot on! For
once we have a President who tells the truth! Trump’s speech starts at
1:09:40.
Where is Trump’s Support?
Are his only supporters Lou Dobbs and Sean Hannity? Where are any
true conservatives in Congress who should be standing up for the
President the American people elected?
Remember the words of Irish statesman, Edmund Burke, “The only thing
necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. Nobody
made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only
a little. Those who don’t know history are destined to repeat it.”
So, again folks, it’s up to us. If we don’t support the man we chose
to save our country, no one else will. The Congress is full of
globalist socialists on both sides of the aisle. We must be active.
The left is funded and promoted by George Soros’ monies and they march
and scream and want their communist USA. See Shaun Hannity show last
night. He’s right on. If we don’t wake up and help our president you
will live under Communism and lose America forever.
To stop this insanity, it’s all up to us. As Burke said, if we do nothing, evil will triumph. The White House phone number – (202) 456-1111 Capitol Switchboard for your Senators and representatives (202) 224-3121

"The new National Security Advisor – Lieutenant General
Herbert Raymond McMaster – and the Counter-Terrorism advisor to the
President of the United States – Sebastian Gorka – both unequivocally
state the “terrorist” threat America faces has nothing to do with “true”
Islam. Both men are catastrophically wrong and, therefore, are leading America down a disastrous road towards defeat."
"The President’s Counter-terrorism advisor, Sebastian Gorka, is “over
the moon” LtGen McMaster is the new National Security Advisor. However,
Gorka’s lack of honesty about the Islamic threat raises much more
serious questions.
Some have been lulled into believing he is on the right track because
he uttered the word “jihad” but defeating this enemy takes more than
pretending to know what you are talking about. Speaking at CPAC
this past weekend, Gorka stated: “Zuhdi (Jasser) knows it better than
anybody because he understands that this isn’t about poverty or lack of
education. It’s about people who are fighting for the soul of Islam –
not a war with Islam, but a war inside Islam; as King Abdullah, as
General Sisi has said, for which version is going to win.” Utter nonsense. There is one version of Islam and one Sharia.
To say otherwise is to be factually wrong, but also dangerous when
national strategies are being built off that utter nonsense."
"Several years ago at a town hall presentation hosted by Washington,
D.C. radio station WMAL, Sebastian Gorka stated “99.9% of muslims do not
support terrorism (jihad)” despite a mountain of evidence and polling
data proving this comment untrue, and the fact the entire purpose of
Islam is to wage jihad until the world is dominated by Islamic rule
(sharia).
Dr. Gorka also writes in his book, Defeating Jihad, we are not at war with Islam (p.129) but our enemy is “the ideology of takfiri jihad” (p.123)."
"On page 144 of his book, Gorka ends with the call for the United
States to spend billions of dollars supporting “Muslim reformers” in
their “ideological war to delegitimize the message of holy war against
the infidel and bolster modern interpretations of Islam.” This
demonstrates Sebastian Gorka is either completely free of any clue of
Islamic doctrine or is intentionally lying about what Islam actually
teaches."

AUSTIN, Texas — The attorney general of
Texas has filed a motion to intervene in a lawsuit against a judge who
was sued by a prominent professing atheist organization over his
practice of opening court with a chaplain-presented prayer.
“The lawsuit against Judge Mack is an affront to religious
liberty and yet another attempt to push religious expression from public
life,” Ken Paxton said in a statement
on Wednesday. “The Commission’s prayer practice, like Judge Mack’s
courtroom prayer, is completely consistent with our nation’s history of
protecting religious expression.”
Paxton’s motion was filed on behalf of the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement. As previously reported,
the Wisconsin-based Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) sued Judge
Wayne Mack of Willis in March in an effort to obtain an order
prohibiting the prayers.
It had first sent a letter
to Mack in 2014, stating that it had received a complaint from an
attorney and a local citizen, who said they felt coerced to participate
in the courtroom prayers out of fear of being disrespectful. Mack
ignored the correspondence.
FFRF then sent a complaint to the Texas State Commission on
Judicial Conduct, which—along with Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick—then requested
that Attorney General Paxton issue a formal opinion on the prayers in
Mack’s courtroom.
Last August, Paxton upheld Mack’s prayer practice as being
lawful and consistent with both American history and legal precedent. He
pointed to the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in Town of Greece v.
Galloway.
“[W]e believe a justice of the peace’s practice of opening
daily court proceedings with a prayer by a volunteer chaplain … is
sufficiently similar to the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Galloway
such that a court would likely be compelled to agree with Galloway that
the long-standing tradition of opening a governmental proceeding with
prayer does not violate the Establishment Clause,” Paxton wrote.
Mack made a few changes in the interim, such as after asking
any objectors to step out of the room, automatically locking the doors
to the courtroom until the prayer is over. However, FFRF said that the
adjustments were not enough because those seeking re-entry will have to
knock on the door and thus be seen by others.
It consequently filed suit.
“Judge Mack has created a courtroom prayer practice that
unambiguously and unnecessarily endorses religion in violation of the
Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution,”
the lawsuit states.
On Wednesday, Paxton, who reportedly attends a
nondenominational church in Frisco, announced in a press conference that
his office had filed a motion to intervene in the legal challenge and join in the defense for Mack.
“It’s amazing in a country founded on religious liberty, the
centuries old practice of judicial and public bodies opening with
prayer is coming under attack,” Paxton said. “Judge Mack’s courtroom
prayer is lawful, constitutional, and embodies religious expression. One
of the core principles which our country was founded on.”
FFRF contends that Paxton’s filing doesn’t demonstrate a
strong enough interest in defending the prayer practice. It plans to
oppose the motion.
“The motion fails to assert a specific interest that ties
the attorney general’s office or TCOLE to Judge Mack’s courtroom prayer
practice. The only connection between the two seems to be Paxton’s
interest in helping out his friends at [the legal organization] First
Liberty,” it remarked. “FFRF considers this requested intervention to be
an abuse of Paxton’s power as attorney general in order to advance the
religious mission of a private advocacy organization.”
John Jay, the first chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court
and second president of the American Bible Society, said in 1823, “The
Scriptures represent Christians as being engaged in a spiritual warfare,
and, therefore, both in their associated and individual capacities,
they are to expect and prepare for opposition. … Whatever may be the
characters, the prejudices, the views or the arts of our opponents, we
have only to be faithful to our Great Leader. They who march under the
banners of Emmanuel have God with them, and consequently have nothing to
fear.”

According to witnesses, a brawl erupted when Erdoğan’s
security detail attacked protesters carrying the flag of the Kurdish PYD
party outside the residence.
This is a sign of what is to come. When Islamic supremacists are
emboldened, their violence increases. Erdoğan has become emboldened
recently — even more so since emerging victorious in a referendum that
significantly broadened his powers:
The Turkish republic has always been flawed, but it
always contained the aspiration that – against the backdrop of the
principles to which successive constitutions claimed fidelity – it could
become a democracy. Erdoğan’s new Turkey closes off that prospect.
The jihadist dictator Erdoğan is bent on expanding his powers both inside and outside Turkey. Erdoğan’s temper recently flared against Europe when several European governments refused “to allow his ministers to rally Turkish expatriates.” He also declared
that “Europe is collapsing…Europe will pay for what they have done in
humiliating and oppressing Turks”; and in response to a European
headscarf ban in the workplace, he accused Europe of starting “a clash between the cross and the crescent.”
Now he is so bold as to allow his thugs to behave violently on American soil.
“’Erdoğan’s bodyguards’ in violent clash with protesters in Washington DC”, Guardian, May 17, 2017:
Nine people were hurt and two arrests were made during an
altercation at the Turkish ambassador’s residence in the US capital
during a visit by Turkey’s president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
According to witnesses, a brawl erupted when Erdoğan’s security
detail attacked protesters carrying the flag of the Kurdish PYD party
outside the residence. A local NBC television affiliate reported Erdoğan
was inside the building at the time.
Metropolitan Police Department spokesman Dustin Sternbeck said the
altercation broke out between two groups but he didn’t elaborate on the
circumstances. He said two people were arrested, including one who was
charged with assaulting a police officer. “All of the sudden they just ran towards us,” Yazidi Kurd
demonstrator Lucy Usoyan told ABC, adding that she was attacked by a
pro-Erdoğan supporter. “Someone was beating me in the head nonstop, and I thought, ‘Okay, I’m on the ground already, what is the purpose to beat me?’” The altercation came the same day that Erdoğan met Donald Trump at the White House. The State Department declined to comment.
Earlier Trump and Erdoğan had stood side by side at the White House
and promised to strengthen strained ties despite the Turkish leader’s
stern warning about Washington’s arming of a Kurdish militia. Fresh from securing his grip on Turkey with a referendum to enhance his powers,
Erdoğan came to the Oval Office with complaints about US support for
Kurdish fighters and what Ankara says is Washington’s harbouring of the
mastermind of a failed coup.
But both leaders also tried to put a brave face on their differences and
to renew a key alliance between Nato’s leading power and its biggest
Muslim member, partners in the fight against the Islamic State group in
Syria and Iraq.
“It is absolutely unacceptable to take the YPG-PYD into consideration
as partners in the region, and it’s going against a global agreement we
reached,” Erdoğan said, referring to the Kurdish Peoples’ Protection
Units (YPG) in Syria.
“In the same way, we should never allow those groups who want to
change the ethnic or religious structures in the region to use terrorism
as a pretext,” he added…..
