01 Jul Dictator Erdogan, Survivor of Protests, to Seek Presidency in Turkey

Posted at 22:10h in Blog by

Last summer I had the chance to see Turkish PM Erdogan live at a massive Islamist rally of as many as a million people. After waiting out under the hot sun for hours, I was humored to see that he had the same fine taste in clothing as myself. Dictators may be nuts, but they obviously appreciate super high quality fashion, something I obviously also place a very high value on. Eh emmm…

Needless to say, Erdogan has officially announced that he is running for President. Erdogan is not merely a profound egomaniacal dictator, he is also an Islamist who openly supports the Muslim Brotherhood. The long term impact this will have on Turkey, arguably one of the most powerful and influential nations in the region is significant.

ISTANBUL — Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Tuesday announced that he will run for Turkey’s presidency in elections next month, a move that is likely to position him as the country’s dominant political figure for years to come.

New York Times has the full story.

    I hear that brother, a golf shirt is the highest fashion thing in my closet. Hey, we got those super white robes waiting for us, so we won’t have to worry about what to wear in Heaven! 🙂

    Joel,
    Ive followed much of your writings. Read your books of the Islamic antichrist. I was an avid supporter of the revived roman empire for a long time. But no more. And I believe we may be witnessing the rebirth of the 7th empire, thus now the eighth. ISIS is shaping up to fit the description. Exceedingly terrifying, devouring everything in its path, unlike the others before it. It certainly is. And with the proclamation of the Caliphate, its going to move fast. Look for them to subdue three Islamic nations in the process of expanding. Your thoughts????

    There are several possibilities. I wouldn’t say that tho is it yet, but things are moving in that direction. I think there may be some regional wars first.

    Joel, if you’re the antichrist of high fashion, then I have received the mark of the beast. It’s plaid and I like it.

    “And in those days, men who receive the mark of the fashion beast shall be greatly ridiculed by their wives. Their punishment will be exceedingly great and angels shall bind them in wide white leather belts and cast them into the lake of of burning flannel for eternity”
    – Revelation 76:17-19

    It would be so awesome if you would prayerfully consider doing regular simple video updates on YouTube. I think you would gain a large audience , especially increasing your younger viewer rate . Bless you for all you do for The Lord.

    In the meantime, Babylon is getting ready to attract more kings of finance to her bed:
