Yes, he is dead, but his reactionary ideas and goals are alive...

Fethullah Gülen is dead.

The elements of the ruling power, who once had a major relationship of mutual interest with him, are now gleefully sending their former dear friend to hell with abusive X posts.

The closer their past ties to FETÖ were, the more they curse. As if these curses could hide or cover up their past collaboration, their praise, their messages, and their “expressions of longing”...

Their partnership was plain for all to see, and it could still be reshaped according to interests. Because the political Islamist is focused solely on interest. Since there is no sense of shame, they do not look back and ask, “What did I say yesterday?”...

Just like how they meet with HDP members during election processes, shake hands, and reach agreements, only to later accuse the ineffective opposition of collaborating with the PKK...

We know those who act as if they do not know what FETÖ, an imperialist espionage organization, was in the past; we know those who try to keep its mentality and goals alive in other ways, and those who target the Republic and Mustafa Kemal Atatürk.

Fethullah Gülen left without being tried. To be realistic, it could not be expected that the US would extradite him unless there was a very extraordinary situation. And that is what happened.

Even if he had been tried, reasons such as his age and health condition would not have allowed him to serve the sentence that his actions deserved.

The lives he darkened, the people he drove to suicide, the slanders, the conspiracies, the murders, his betrayal of the country, the coup attempt... What didn't they do to this country and its people...

He and his dark organization made the public pay heavy prices for years. They paved the way for their political Islamist partners.

The methods that would overshadow all visible and invisible concepts representing evil have always lived and continue to live.

Conspiracies, perception management, slander, distortion, usurpation of rights, injustice, and a thousand and one kinds of betrayal...

When I hear the harshest criticisms directed at the government, corruption, and enemies of the Republic and secularism, this question always comes to my mind: “Where did these people come from, who are they, how did this dark organization reach such power?”

The answer is simple: With those who look out for their own interests... With the immoral ones who stole questions... With those who sold their honor and dignity for the sake of benefits like positions, salaries, staffing in the state, and becoming civil servants... With the hundreds of thousands who dove headfirst into their disgusting wheel... Of course, if you ask them now, they are all innocent...

So, what did Fethullah Gülen cost this country?

The doors to a terrifying era of conspiracy culture were opened. The language of right-wing politics became even uglier. They had infiltrated every unit of the state, and those who followed their path always took what they learned from FETÖ to an even further stage.

They destroyed beliefs in success, hard work, and determination, as well as the truth and reality.

They brought tens of thousands of immoral people to positions they did not deserve through stolen questions and put their plans into action one by one with these “immoral people who were willing to be enslaved.”

Many successful young people who were trying to study with the sweat of their working-class mothers and fathers were pushed out of the system. This situation became one of the reasons for the decay in society. Because everyone started to believe that one could get somewhere through nepotism.

There were even worse things.

An untold number of innocent soldiers, academics, journalists, and citizens who were aware of the danger were targeted with despicable conspiracies. Because they had seized the justice system, these innocent people who were targeted were left all alone; some died in hospital corners, some committed suicide...

In the end, they could not agree with their partners, and as a result of a fierce fight, the coup attempt that darkened the country's future took place...

Turkey drifted away from democracy, justice, education, and science.

The public became impoverished, and in relatively short periods, ignorance grew like a mountain.

All these developments played into the hands of the political Islamist government.

Because the growing ignorance and the captives whom they first impoverished and then stuffed a 300-500 lira shopping card into their pockets were a godsend for them.

History will judge Gülen, those who had any connection to him, the conspirators, and those who engaged in cooperation by hiding behind other identities...

Yes, he is dead.

But it must be stated again that thousands of his likes, who are ready to serve the goals and orders of the system he served, are alive, along with his reactionary ideas.

And another truth that should never be forgotten is that FETÖ was a partner with the AKP in the past. And that its goal, just as it is today, was to destroy the Republic. Nothing has changed...

This dark regime, which has been going on for nearly a quarter of a century and has turned our lives into a dungeon, was also built in cooperation with FETÖ....
