This blog is dedicated to the politicians who are the enablers of the Gulen Movement and their "front groups." From Gulen Schools to Gulen's Interfaith Groups, these politicians knowingly or sometimes naively have accepted campaign contributions, honors(snicker, giggles) or the famous FREE trips to Turkey. Thanks to all of you for submitting, lets put the message out to Politicians, if you sell out Americans we will vote you out.
Corrupt Politicians and Tools of the Gulen Movement
Disclaimer: if some videos are disabled this is the work of the Gulen censorship which has filed fake copyright infringement complaints to UTUBE.
With the arrest and extradition of prior Gulen "Houston Imam" Kemal Oksuz, his replacement was Bilal Eksili who lasted a few years in Texas then replaced Kemal Oksuz as the Gulen Lobbyist in Washington DC with (Washington Strategy). Gulen Lobbying in DC is now neutered. They no longer have Rumi Forum, Turkish American Council (Faruk Taban and Emre Celik)
The Gulen morphs into different platforms when they are under attack or being put under scrutiny. Their current model is to regionally market and lobby among, governors, state senators and local leaders (secular and religious) They also utilize their 200 non profit dialogue groups to rope into local fake "DIALOGUE" with local interfaith groups, Jewish and Christian groups. They are also currently reaching out to muslim groups like CAIR, throughout the USA. More on Gulen US interfaith groups here CLICK FOR GULEN INTERFAITH GROUPS
Here is the current Gulen King of Public Relations ORHAN OSMAN who was hand groomed by Kemal Oksuz. Formerly the Interfaith Gulen point person in Oklahoma and also Texas American Chamber of Commerce watching over Gulen financial interests in SW.
What makes the name Osman so special in Ottoman History?
Orhan Osman new king of Gulen Public Relations in Texas
Although Kemal Oksuz received a sentence on 2/11/2019 that some people described as "slap on the wrist" it comes with strings attached. ... Kemal has what the US Federal government wants and that is information on members of Congress, the Gulen Networks & political bribing. People close to this case knew that Kemal would flip valuable information in return for a lighter sentence. 2 year probation $20,000 fine and 100 hours of community service.
WASHINGTON – Kemal Oksuz, a former Houston-based businessman convicted of lying to Congress about Azerbaijan's role in a funding a trip for 10 lawmakers – including four from Texas – walked out of a federal courthouse Monday a free man.
Oksuz, 49, was credited with three months he spent in an Armenian jail last year, plus another week that he was detained upon his return to the U.S. last November. He also will serve two years of probation and pay a $20,000 fine.
The Justice Department, arguing that Oksuz's deception undermined bedrock American political institutions, had sought a one-year prison sentence, the maximum possible under federal sentencing guidelines.
"I feel embarrassed," he continued, chocking back emotion. "It is not easy for me. I am going through hard times... I take full responsibility for my unlawful conduct. I apologize. I am sorry for all the mess I have caused."
Oksuz's case ended a four-year corruption investigation that included the Office of Congressional Ethics, the House Ethics Committee and, finally, the FBI, which pursued him from Houston to Armenia, where he was living until last year.
Oksuz, who also goes by "Kevin," refused to cooperate in the federal probes while moving abroad for two years, leaving his family behind in Arlington, a Virginia suburb of Washington. But after his arrest in Armenia late last year on a U.S. warrant, he waived extradition and gave himself up to American authorities.
The Justice Department alleged that he used a pair of Houston non-profits as part of an international scheme to funnel money from the Azeri national oil company "in order to gain access" to members of Congress at a 2013 energy conference in the capital city of Baku. Still, despite the sweeping nature of those allegations, no members of Congress or other foreign officials were indicted in the probe. Maybe not that "probe" but there are countless other investigations on the famous 10. Stockman was sentenced November 2018 to 10 years in Federal Prision for money laundering via non profits.
Gülenist lobbyists in Washington cash-strapped, but find sympathetic audience
This is the fourth article in a series on the Turkish government and Turkish-American lobbying in the United States. In the first two pieces, I discussed how both the Turkish government and its former ally turned enemy the Gülen movement are courting the Trump administration, and particularly Vice President Mike Pence, through Trump-connected lobbyists. In the third piece, I examined the impact, or lack thereof, that Turkish government lobbying has had on U.S.-Turkish relations and foreign policy.
The Gülen movement suffers the exact opposite lobbying problem from its Turkish government rivals, who are dealing with a U.S. Congress, president and vice president an increasingly frustrated and angry with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
The Gülen movement is “swimming with the stream of popular opinion against Turkey”, as one Washington-based Turkey expert told Ahval.
Bilal Ekşili of the Washington Diplomacy Group, a lobbying organisation affiliated with the Gülen movement, agreed. “We have found our counterparts, especially in Congress and think-tanks, to be much more open and sympathetic as awareness of Erdoğan’s human rights abuses gets more coverage.” Ekşili mentioned the alleged plot to kidnap Gülen and the assault on protestors during Erdoğan’s visit to Washington last year as boosting animosity towards Turkey among U.S. politicians.
The Gülen movement will have to get as much mileage as possible out of the current political animosity between the United States and Turkey, as it is in no position to run a lobbying campaign on par with that of the Turkish government. Last year, Turkey spent more than 10 times the amount on lobbying than the Gülenists did, and in the first two quarters of this year the Gülenist Washington Diplomacy group has spentless than $30,000between the two groups it has employed, Fidelis Government Relations and Sexton’s Creek.
Last week, Politico’s lobbying blogconfirmed that the Washington Diplomacy Group was shutting down its lobbying operations. Ekşili did not respond for comment on the report. Though no one from Washington Diplomacy group has publicly commented on the reason why it has ceased operations, all signs point to the hard financial hit it has taken since its business conglomerates and banks were seized by the Turkish government.
“The Gülenist movement is cash-strapped currently, they lost quite a lot of money, not only in Turkey but outside, so they probably don’t have the same amount of resources,” said Selim Sazak, analyst and doctoral candidate at Brown University.
Joshua Hendrick, a professor at Loyola University in Maryland and an expert on the Gülen movement said it had been dramatically affected, but since the finances of the network had never been transparent, there was no way to put a hard value on the hit it had taken.
The Gülen movement has been cutting back its operations elsewhere as well. For example, the Gülenist umbrella organization TABA moved from its offices close to Congress due to the high rental costs. Another Gülenist inter-faith dialogue organisation, the Rumi Forum, which has been in Washington for close to 15 years, recently moved its offices out of the capital for the same reason.
The Gülen movement has not only had to contend with a greatly reduced cash flow, but also changing financial priorities. “There is great anxiety and concern for the well-being of many movement activists outside of the U.S., especially in Turkey. The movement has mobilised its resources and effort in helping those movement members who face dire conditions,” said A. Kadir Yıldırım, a fellow at Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy.
Many Gülen supporters have left Turkey or have become stranded abroad without financial support. The movement has had to redirect much of its current financial resources, time and energy to aiding academics, journalists, students and even sports starswho cannot return to Turkey because of their affiliation with the movement.
But the Alliance for Shared Values and other Gülenist organisations act as lobbyists for the movement in their own right, like some pro-government cultural groups like the Turkish Heritage Organization. In addition, the grassroots of the Gülen movement is still intact in the United States. Much of the outreach for the movement is done by people who have no official position in Gülenist organisations. Even critics of the movement, such as Robert Amsterdam, one of the most public lobbyists for the Turkish government, said organisations affiliated with the Gülen network are very effective. “They should be complimented. They are incredible lobbyists,” Amsterdam said.
The next part in this series will examine one of the main stages in the lobbying fight between the Turkish government and the Gülen Movement, the issue of Gülenist charter schools.

Another Gulenist lobbying firm bites the dust Week in Review October 12, 2018 Al Monitor
Pro-Fethullah Gulen groups continue to wind down their lobbying push in Washington. Fidelis Government Relations, which had been working as a subcontractor for Sexton's Creek Consulting, terminated its involvement at the end of August. Sexton’s Creek for its part is still registered as an active lobbyist forWashington Diplomacy Group, a Gulenist firm that told Politico it was shutting down in July.
The Fidelis termination comes amid speculation that Gulen’s movement is cash-strapped amid a clampdown on its activities in Turkey and internationally. Washington Diplomacy Group itself stopped lobbying at the end of June 2018, three months after dropping five Gulen-affiliated clients. According to an Al-Monitor analysis,pro-Gulen groups spent $886,000 on lobbying in 2017.
Over the past three months, Fidelis was paid $22,000 — its largest quarterly take to date — to lobby Congress, Vice President Mike Pence’s office, the White House and the State Department (the firm was paid $77,000 over the past 15 months). According to its website, Fidelis “operates in partnership” with Sexton’s Creek, which is run by William Smith, the chief of staff to Pence when he was a congressman from Indiana.
Turkeyspent $5.6 million lobbying Washington in 2017. Much of that effort, led by Amsterdam & Partners, aims to discredit the Gulenists and their chain of charter schools throughout the United States. Turkey accuses Gulen of being behind a failed coup attempt against President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in 2016.
What happened to all your trips to the white house?

Bilal Eksili, Faruk Taban, Emre Celik....you
can always go back to teaching ...... after all Faruk Taban did he is
The darkest organization in the history of the republic, FETO, has paid millions of dollars in fortune to build a new life in the US on the July 15th treacherous coup attempt. Himmet banknotes and billions of dollars of money from Bank Asya were not enough to hide their blood or hide their dirty faces.
Today , many of the key names of FETO , from Emre Uslu to Kemal Öksüz, Cemil Teber to Ahmet Sait Yayla, have been published on the internet from their addresses, relatives and bloody money in the USA. The tragicomic side of the matter is that this information has been made available for the purpose of innocent service under the authority and approval of the United States.
How Does?
There are two important internet sites that serve relatives and friends who want to relocate to places close to them in 50 separated countries with a population of 321 million. A few minutes after you give us your name and some information about your relatives you are looking for on sites where US federal, state, and government data are used, you get access to your records.

Are you pregnant with your relatives, yet do you want to be next to him? 'The bitter truth of the dreamland is ...
This time, the hidden worlds of the FETO's people are all in the nakedness. You ask why?
Like we said, the issue is entirely emotional, to strengthen the 'friendship, kinship' relationships among the states! Before we put a point on this topic, let us give you another piece of information: The person you are looking for on the sites ' Hello! There is also a button for your demeniz.
Come on, chatterbox ...
It is not wrong to say that they are living like kings if they are a cliché for the hill names of the treacherous army to the new world order built with the money of himmet which the FETÖ sent his believers' wedding rings, houses and cars.
The smallest house is over a thousand square meters. Most of them choose Virginia as their residence, but there are more than one property that appears to be registered on them. That Virginia is the center of his choice of base. 217 km from Virginia-Washington. The FETO staff also called relatives of relatives near their home or secret names.
An important detail in the meantime: There is no information on some senior names, especially Fethullah Gulen and Hakan Sukur , in the files using Federal data .
They live like you ever ... Who do you think these names hide?
Like the Gülen City residents in Virginia, the standard of living in Texas, New Jersey is high. Lobbying the days pass fetö'cü are filling their pockets with the game, the place from which they sit doodling on Turkey, seeking new victims will not leave empty himmet safe.
