Possible Military Coup in Turkey!

by cofty in

if this does turn out to be the case it could have very serious implications.... turkey hovers between western freedom and democracy and an islamic hell.

europe has been bending over backwards to keep turkey on-side and promising it fast-tracked entry to the eu in return for it's cooperation in controlling mass migration from the east.. the situation is unclear at the moment but there are tanks on the streets....

I don't think that's an impossible scenario by any stretch of the imagination SBF but I think there's a way to go before it becomes a real danger. I think Putin would be very wary of going into Turkey. He took a risk with the Crimea but kept the lid on the support for the proxy war in the east of Ukraine. He's a master brinksman. I think he knows unilateral encroachment into Turkey would really be risking the wrath of NATO and even he doesn't want an actual war with the West.

Mobile Hotspot - JWFACTS.COM - Assembly & Conventions

by thedepressedsoul in

here is an idea i tested.

works at both assemblies and conventions.

i have noticed at the last convention and at my last assembly that when i opened up my wifi setting, tons of hotspots came up for people tethering their tablets to their smart phones.

There was talk about that earlier in the thread. The best way of doing that would probably to use a Arduino or Raspberry Pi based device. You would create a low power PC basically with a Wifi AP. People connect and can see a web page and/or get documents.

There might be some merits to this but I think it's the law of diminishing returns. A non accessible SSID message is a very simple and safe way of letting people know there are dissenters within the midst. I suspect the majority of curious ones would want to follow a link when there are no other people around.

What would be even more powerful is if at every CA and RC each person awake to TTATT did it. Seeing a handful or more SSIDs when searching for Wifi would be fantastic in my book. I encourage everyone who still has to go to an event to do it.

I would wait and see. It might not be as bad as we fear. Turkey is an unusual place where the army is essentially given the duty of protecting the secular nature of the state if it seems like a religious theocracy is taking too much of a hold. The whole creation of the republic under Ataturk set the benchmark and he and his approach is still revered greatly.

There is of course a greater risk of attention being deflected from control of the border with Syria and the Kurds may see an opportunity to further their ends in the area but I suspect whoever is doing this is looking to swing the pendulum back towards democracy and secularism. Keeping the West onside and minimising risk of decreased security in the south east would seem key to that aim.

Of course we will see what transpires...

I conclude evolution is guided

your qualifications are way above mine so i'd love to hear more about the specifics of what you have researched and how that supports the existence of a deity.

k99, i am not really convinced that you're interested in my conclusions.

Ruby -

I personally felt that Kate tried to deflect my questions on the basis that she didn't think my motives were open several times. She also reasserted her claim I was not genuine on page 7:

When you first enquired I knew you weren't genuine, the place to discuss conclusions is somewhere that suits everyone. Cantleave and I talk on the phone about this we have different conclusions and remain friends.
Your problem is that you're not genuine about your interest. Perhaps you think you are but you're not.

I did challenge her on this and she did apologise again, which is the end of it for me.

I have no beef with Kate. My life is easier respecting the positive things she has done over the years here rather than trying to force her to answer every one of my questions.

Giles -

I appreciate you trying to support mine and notsures' line of reasoning however I am happy that I have got all I going to get from the discussion and for me to continue to prod Kate has no positive angles.

The interesting bit of the discussion now is the debate between Cofty and Kate as it exposes me to the technicalities of a subject I have little real knowledge of.

Well I did a hotspot today at Brighton...

#kevinlyclass - jwfacts.com

I did not let anyone join it to prevent any risk of being hacked or me accidentally outing myself but I did get a message from one person on this board saying they saw it. Hopefully others did too.

The only thing is that the HS turns off after a while due to lack of connections and I've not found a way of keeping it on. Another thing I would like to do is change the SSID every hour or so to a new message but it's a bit difficult to do that safely at my seat and I don't want to be up and down all the time. Perhaps there is an app for that :-)

When I last did it at Haysbridge the attendents saw it and there was loads of activity as they thought there was about to be an apostattack any second :-) Didn't notice the same activity at the Amex though...

Where's SBF when you need some clarity on a subject?

Bugger - he's left.

god-of-the-gaps. Should we or shouldn't we fiil in the gaps with God?

by KateWild in

science imo does not have all the answers.

when i discover gaps in science, it's easy for me, as a temporary measure to fill in the gaps with god.

i do this until i have learnt something new.. what about you?

konceptual99

Looks like me and K99 had the same conversation, 3 years ago. K99 you were very clear on your position then.

I was wasn't I... I'd forgotten this thread. Thanks for resurrecting it.

Opps sorry I didn't think it was constant. I am wrong though Ruby is interested too. She read the paper. But over the years when cofty has posted the link to the paper, no one else posted any chemistry in relation to it.
Have you read the links? Are you going to?

I didn't even manage to get O level chemistry so it sometimes takes me some time to digest the science let alone think about posting more chemistry.

I do read the links however as much as possible. Ultimately if people don't post it does not mean they are not interested.

Only I am interested anyway cofty. Most of the posters here don't really want to know about autocatalysis and homichirality

Why do you constantly presume to know what everyone else on the board is thinking, is motivated by and has an interest in? Maybe your ability to read minds is the reason why you can't get your head round why we can't read yours.

konceptual99

I think it's far more relevant to ask if God/FSM exists then what is he doing now?

Why is he apparently so interested in Serena Williams winning grand slams but seemingly far less interested in stopping countless people dying from cancer, especially when he supposedly created the physical laws that guide cell division and replication.

To bring it back to the OP.... was he created a bastard or did he evolve into being a bastard? If he was created a bastard then is his creator a bastard? Which bastard created the bastard creator?
