Do Not Judge at First Glance, But Take Time to Look Beyond byBehcet Kaya

The following short story is one I heard as a little boy when I was about nine years of age. Both the origin and the author remain unknown. Since I do not recall the names of the characters, or where the story took place, I will take literary license to add those details. The story revolves around two men who grew up along the Mississippi River and became friends at a very early age. Mr. Endicot Willes and Mr. Liam Young’s friendship began in kindergarten, continuing on through elementary school, middle school, and high school. From the time they were old enough to handle a fishing rod, they spent most Saturday's fishing on the banks of the river. Although they attended different colleges, they remained friends into their adult years. Entering their adult life, Mr. Endicot Willes became known as a sharp, street-smart, businessman. He opened a fish restaurant which became very popular and successful. His parents were well-off, with a fleet of ships and barges to transport cargo. In ...

An Update on the Status of the Turkic Union Regarding the Opening of Embassies in Southern Cyprus

  As a Turkish American, my immediate feelings upon hearing the news that several members of the Turkic Union had recognized Southern Cypress by opening embassies, were no different than many other Turks. My initial reaction was to criticize the Turkic Nations. Why? Because by recognizing Southern Cyprus and opening embassies, these members were publicly acknowledging that Turkiye was an invader of Cyprus. As a reminder, the circumstances behind their actions was due to the EU offering these nations economic assistance to the tune of 12 billion euro to build infrastructure which included the completion of the Silk Road from China to Europe which would pass through these nations. With this economic agreement, the EU also put the condition that the receiving nations were to open embassies in Southern Cyprus. The problem with analyzing the impact of this economic deal is just that. An economic deal. it should not be considered geopolitical subject. Yes, the EU played dir...

Update on Central Asian Turkic States

  The “United States of Turkic Nations” was originally formed by the former president of Kazakhstan, Nursultan Nazarbayev, and President Erdogan of Turkiye. The union is currently comprised of the following nations- Türkiye, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. Since its formation, the union has come along well with efforts to institute a common military, common economic goals, cultural integration, and even to form a common alphabet. Although not official members, both Hungary and Northern Cyprus are welcomed to observe at official meetings. Turkiye has done a great deal to help all of the member nations after they gained independence from Russia. In fact, Turkiye was the first to recognize each country as sovereign, and to open an embassy in each. Their militaries are all educated in Turkish war academies and students from these nations are given scholarships to study in Turkiye. Turkiye has given them military know-how, teaching t...

Why has the World Become so Chaotic?

  Why has the world become so chaotic?   It is said that many nations are run by their deep state, not by elected politicians.   Consider, for example, the U.S., the presumed superpower of the world. In reality, it is the Pentagon that ultimately runs U.S. geopolitics. American presidents do have power, but the amount of power depends on how savvy the president is. Even then, a savvy president only maintains fifty percent of the power. Trump is considered savvy, perhaps not politically, but definitely as a pragmatic businessman. In terms of running the country, his power level is estimated between 30 and 40 percent. Quite a sobering thought.   According to the U.S. Constitution, no president is allowed to serve more than two terms. Contrast that to democratic nations such as Russia and Turkiye. President Putin has been running Russia for more than 20 years. In Turkiye, President Erdogan has been running the nation since 2003, a total of 22 years.  ...

What I Voted For by Nancy A Kaya

  What I voted for: -A secure border -Deportation of illegal aliens -A strong military -An end to political and sexual indoctrination of our children in our public schools -An end to woke, DEI policies wherever they exist -Respect for the personal freedoms of all Americans -A president who would think about America first before giving everything to the world while his own people suffer -A president who would have the courage not only to expose the rampant corruption which has invaded every corner of government, but the courage to actually clean it up -A president who will follow the Constitution, not usurp its legitimacy Yes, it’s very, very messy right now. And, yes, I voted for it, therefore I own it, even the things I disagree with. No apologies and no regrets. Trump is no God or saint but it’s a damn shame it took a flawed man to do right by the American people. He’s showing you just how corrupt your government truly is. Article II/Section 1- The executive Power shall be vested...

“Uncanny Alliance” by Behcet Kaya December 21, 2024, Independently Published (2024) ISBN 979-8322440970 Reviewed by Jill Rey for Reader Views (12/2024) What do Sam Adams beers, alligator bites, and private investigative work have in common? Jack Ludefance, a private eye with an uncanny ability to uncover the truth. Thus, when a college professor ends up murdered under mysterious circumstances, Jack is called in by the suspect’s family in “Uncanny Alliance: A Jack Ludefance Novel” by Behcet Kaya. Whenever a murder occurs, it is common for the spouse to be the first suspect. As such, it is no surprise when Professor Zambear’s wife is taken into custody.

On a locked campus, with twenty-four-hour security and a location many are unaware of, the murderer has to be someone familiar, there’s no way the killer could h...

The following article was written by Bekir Azar and translated from Turkish into English by Behcet Kaya

The International Court of Justice has issued an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and his previous defense minister, Yoav Gallant, for war crimes and genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.   Why? The current Tel Aviv regime has gone berserk with their ongoing spree of murdering innocent civilians and is the reason the ICC genocide decision has come this far.   The ICC’s arrest warrant decision infuriated Israel. (Although freaked out would be a more adequate definition) As frequent diplomatic traffic increased to Ankara, it has become quite evident Israel believes that President Erdogan is behind the ICC arrest warrant decision. As a result, and behind the scenes, Israel has started a slander campaign against Türkiye.   After the announcement, France, Holland, Belgium, Italy and Jordon have given notice they will arrest Netanyahu and Gallant if visits their respective countries.   While the ICC’s arrest warrant has divided the internationa...

Misunderstood Turks by Behcet Kaya

There is a media frenzy in the United States about Türkiye, particularly in the U.S. defense sectors. What they are concerned about is how Türkiye managed to be so successful in developing military weapon systems.   In addition, there is ongoing analysis of how the Trump administration should follow current U.S. foreign policy with respect to Türkiye.   First, I would like to discuss Turkiye’s rapid success in becoming number eleven in world weapon industry. Eleventh is determined by the world military hardware seller's system. In 2003, when the Erdogan administration came to power, Türkiye was only developing 20 percent   its own military equipment. As of today, it has reached 90 percent and is aiming to become 100 percent as soon as TEI company completes its Turkish made jet engine which is estimated to take another 3 to 5 years. By that time KAAN 5th generation fighter jet will be a completely Turkish made aircraft.   Why does this rapid success surpri...
