Netherlands: National Counterterrorism and Security Coordinator concerned about Erdogan’s influence

The National Counterterrorism and Security Coordinator (NCTV) is concerned about the rise of the influence of the Turkish leader among Dutch people of Turkish origin. In an internal memo that HP/De Tijd has in its possession, the NCTV reported that Turkish President Erdogan is implementing a strategy of conscious Islamization in the Netherlands.

    Erdogan supports Salafist organizations, sometimes jihadists, linked to Turkish-Dutch institutions and this could affect Dutch security, the service believes.

    But Turkey’s Presidential Communications Director Fahrettin Altun criticized the NCTV report, saying that it was biased and mimicked the ideology of neo-Nazis.

    In the confidential memorandum, a possible link is made between “anti-Western rhetoric” of the Turkish President and the terrorist attack on a tram in Utrecht in 2019. Four people were killed in that attack. The day before this attack in Utrecht, Erdogan had mentioned the terrorist attacks on two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, which left 49 dead. Erdogan placed it “in a context of war between Muslims and Christians,” according to the HP, citing the report.

    The NCTV confirmed the existence of the memorandum to Dutch public broadcaster NOS, but did not wish to comment on its content.

    The report states that the Turkish community is “vulnerable to the influence of Turkey”. Ties with Turkey are strong, and many Turkish Dutch people vote for Erdogan in Turkish elections. They are also associated with foundations which are in contact with the Turkish government.

    The Turkish-Dutch youth organizations in particular are said to be affected by the fundamentalist movement of Islam. The memorandum warned against radicalization, also online.

    From various walks of life, there have been criticisms against the “factually incorrect analyzes” or at least some improbabilities contained in the report. For example, the Utrecht tram attacker has been associated with statements made by Erdogan in the NCTV report. However, Gökmen T. is a supporter of the extremist cleric Metin Kaplan, who is pursuing an Islamic caliphate. His movement and Erdogan’s AKP are at odds. The attacker had called Erdogan “an American dog”.

    The fact that the report pointed out that Erdogan has been allowing the spread of Salafi organizations, has been debated. The Salafists are rivals of the Muslim Brotherhood and it is precisely this movement which is supported by Turkey. Although they are both conservative Islamic movements, there are important ideological differences between the Salafists and the Muslim Brotherhood.

    Turkey and Qatar are important pillars of the Muslim Brotherhood, while Saudi Arabia and other Gulf States support the Salafist movements. Turkey and Saudi Arabia have been rivals for years vying for influence in the Middle East.

    The memorandum is not yet “analytically mature”, Dutch Justice and Security Minister Grapperhaus complained. This means, among other things, that the security services AIVD and MIVD and the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Social Affairs and Employment have yet to give their opinion on this subject. These services are currently reviewing the report. The NCTV then decides whether the report still needs to be amended and published or whether it remains confidential.

    The substantive analysis of the report is included in an overview of security threats that is published three times a year, said the NCTV. The service expects the next version of it to be released in late March, early April.

    Dutch PVV leader Geert Wilders has meanwhile called the Turkish leader a “terrorist” in a tweet. Wilders urged Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte to “show courage” to oppose the Turkish president, expel the Turkish ambassador and expel Turkey from NATO. Wilders shared a drawing of Erdogan with the ISIS terrorist flag in the background.

    Erdogan supporters soon fired back: They denounced Wilders as a pig and a devil and said he was racist. “Erdogan is democratically elected by the Turkish people and is the leader who fights the terrorist organization DAESH the most in Syria,” one Turkish supporter said, adding that Wilders was the “real terrorist”.

    The report underscored that Turkish citizens in the Netherlands were likely to be manipulated by Erdogan, because he wanted to become the leader of Sunni Muslims around the world.

    Turkey’s presidential spokesperson also slammed Wilders, calling the Dutch politician an “imbecile” while the ruling Justice and Development Party (AK Party) spokesperson Ömer Çelik said Wilders was a “cursed Nazi”.

    “If he lived in the Middle East now, he would have been a Daesh murderer, but because he lives in the Netherlands today, he has become an ugly anti-humanity fascist,” Çelik said, adding that Wilders would kill innocent migrants if he had the chance to do so.

    “It is only natural for this fascist to attack our president, who has embraced migrants fleeing death,” Çelik concluded, claiming that Wilders was the enemy of “humanitarian values”.

    Turkey’s chief public prosecutor’s office issued a statement announcing a probe against Wilders for “including a photograph and written insult about President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Feb. 15”.

    4. You’re not alone if you get error number 506 when trying to update or install an app from the Google Play Store. In reality, a closed loop may be generated by several versions of an application, which is a typical error. However, there is no one cause for this closed-loop to arise; there is no single solution to this problem.

    DESTRUCTIVE HAILSTORMS will become more frequent and violent with increasingly larger hail, predicted solar researcher Valentina Zharkova back in 2019 when she stated that it's one of many signs of an impending Grand Solar Minimum. This is exactly what we have witnessed this year in both Europe and the world. Here is the German town of Benediktbeuern in Bavaria after a hailstorm on August 26th. Almost all rooftops and cars were damaged. The centuries-old church and monastery were damaged for the first time ever. Interestingly, the monastery was rebuilt in 1699 during the Maunder Minimum. Combined with heavy rainfall, extreme weather will devastate a significant portion of our food production. For instance, heavy rainfall destroyed a quarter of all crops in Greece in just two days in September. However, mainstream media remains silent. Photo: X @safe0007/Sandor Feher

    NOAA Predicts Zero Sunspots for Almost the Whole 2030s

    CLIMATEThe United States' government scientific organization, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), predicts zero sunspots from 2031 to 2040. This is an extreme situation that has not occurred in as long as humanity has been counting sunspots, and it leads us into uncharted territory in terms of our solar system. However, this prediction aligns with the warnings of the world-renowned solar researcher Valentina Zharkova for many years, who indicated in 2019 various signs of this catastrophic phenomenon, including the extreme hailstorms we have seen in Europe and the world this summer. The forecast and various observations this year give cause for very significant concern. In this unique analysis, Free West Media explains why.

    NATIONALIST COLLABORATION TAKES SHAPE. Six parties met in Budapest on August 26th to sign a joint declaration confirming the friendship and political unity among the parties. The goal is to either form a new group in the European Parliament after the EU elections in June next year or to reconstitute the existing Identity and Democracy (ID) group with the new parties.

    European Nationalist Parties Forge Cooperation Ahead of EU Elections

    EUROPEAN ELECTIONSOn Saturday, August 26, representatives of six European nationalist parties gathered in Budapest. The meeting was initiated by the Hungarian party Mi Hazánk and took place in the national parliament. Representatives of the parties signed a joint declaration that not only reaffirms the parties' friendship but also their unity on a range of complex political issues. A surprisingly clear and radical manifesto was established. The hope is that this cooperation will lead to success in the EU elections and eventually result in the formation of a group in the European Parliament. For Swedish nationalism, this meeting marks a success as Sweden, for the first time, has a party represented in a leading nationalist cooperation in Europe. Free West Media was present at this historic event.

    Swedish Weapon Takes Down Russia’s Best Attack Helicopter

    The Russian attack helicopter Ka-52 is considered one of the world's best and has struck fear in Ukraine, where it has hunted down tanks and other armored vehicles, often beyond the range of many light anti-aircraft systems. However, it has met its match in the Swedish air defense missile system RBS 70, which has quickly led to significant losses for the Russian helicopter forces.

    The Sun Drives Earth’s Climate, Not Carbon Dioxide

    Top Researchers Push Back Against Climate Lies."The correlation is as clear as day," explained the Israeli astrophysicist Nir Shaviv, who was hailed by the establishment, before his interview with Forbes was hastily deleted. What he says contradicts the climate narrative, which points to humans as responsible for Earth's climate. Shaviv firmly asserts that it is the sun that controls the climate, something that can be scientifically proven in many ways. Contrary to the popular belief, the sun's influence on Earth has, in recent years, caused unusually cold and rainy weather, a trend that solar researchers warn will worsen significantly in the coming decades. The sun has exhibited an unusually low activity since 2016, during Solar Cycle 24, which was the weakest in a century.

    Alternative for Germany held its conference during the last weekend of July in the thousand-year-old city of Magdeburg, located by the Elbe River in the eastern German state of Saxony. The first of the two conference days began with a strong program speech by the party's male spokesperson. Subsequently, party officials were elected and motions were addressed. The second day was entirely devoted to candidate selection and positioning for the EU election in June next year. Screenshot: AfD on Facebook

    Strong Confidence in German AfD

    Alternative for Germany (AfD) held a party conference on July 29-30 to select candidates for the upcoming EU election next year. EU Parliament member Maximilian Krah, belonging to the party's more radical, ethnonationalist faction, was appointed as the top candidate. The party's two spokespersons delivered powerful speeches criticizing the EU's failed migration policy and trade sanctions that isolate Europe and Germany from the rest of the world. They argued that it's time for the EU to return a significant portion of its power to national parliaments. However, they have dropped the demand for Germany to exit the EU.

    Maximilian Krah is one of the AfD politicians who is singled out as an ethnonationalist, as he has stated that there is a distinction between ethnic Germans and immigrants who have obtained German citizenship. Krah is a Member of the European Parliament and AfD's top candidate for the upcoming European Union election next year. Still image: AfD on Facebook

    The Establishment Wants to Ban Germany’s Second Largest Party – for the Sake of Democracy

    The rising popularity of AfD has raised strong concerns within the establishment. Despite lies and demonization in the media and isolation from the overall political establishment, the party continues to grow. Certain representatives of the party are accused of becoming increasingly "extreme," and in an unusual move, the influential weekly newspaper Der Spiegel demanded that AfD be "banned."

    FvD was quick to support the protests against covid restrictions. Today, the party also stands behind the farmers protests against the governments’ plans to close a big portion of the farms in the country for the sake of “climate”.
