Behcet Kaya, author of Treacherous Estate, returns once again with another thrilling installment in the PI Jack Ludefance series with his latest, Body in the Woods.

Body in the Woods has a tense, atmospheric beginning that starts with a body. The body is that of Heinrich Hines, discovered by a woman on her daily trail ride with her horse in the woods of Southern California. Readers quickly discover that Mr. Hines was an extremely intelligent, and often abrasive, scientist who had access to a complex, powerful formula that once placed on the body of an aircraft, made it completely undetectable to radar or satellites. He was in the process of what he referred to as “a deal of a lifetime” with one of five countries, and their government heads, in attempts to sell the formula to the highest bidder. Unfortunately for Heinrich, he was unable to complete his mission, and worse yet, investigators only had one possible flimsy lead into the identity of his killer. His business partner, Vance McGruder, was overheard arguing with, and threatening to kill Heinrich a few days before his body was discovered in the woods, and was now the prime suspect. But did McGruder try to foil Heinrich’s plans by murdering him, or was there someone else involved? 

To hopefully not only discover the identity of the murderer, but more importantly to clear his name, wealthy businessman Vance McGruder hires Private Investigator and friend, Jack Ludefance. Without a moment of hesitation, Ludefance flies out from his home in Florida to Los Angeles where McGruder resides, and starts what becomes a tricky and difficult investigation involving political maneuverings from several countries all vying for the chance of getting their hands on the invisibility technology. 

Although Body in the Woods is the second time PI Ludefance stars in a gripping thriller, readers will be able to quickly delve into, devour and enjoy every aspect of this story without any confusion about the events in his past novels. This is because author Kaya’s writing and character development is just as strong in this book as in his first installment. Readers easily become attached to the “realness” of this private investigator and not only become engrossed in the storyline, but will quickly want to root for him to ultimately discover who’s the real killer behind the Hines murder. There are also other characters throughout this story that help to enhance the overall reading enjoyment, including Rudy, the malodorous computer hacker hired by Jack who’s quite adept at pulling data out of Hines’ computer and other pertinent information, and Mariana, the lovely housekeeper at Heinrich’s home who has a shocking secret of her own to reveal as the story progresses. Body in the Woods should not be missed. Even the most seasoned fan of the thriller genre will be shocked at the intricate and twisty ending. 

Quill says: Body in the Woods is an exciting, fast-paced read for mystery/thriller readers and PI Ludefance fans alike that will capture your attention, and hold it tight until the surprising conclusion.

Pressure on Turkey/President Trump

Translated by Behcet Kaya from a YouTube video by Ergun Diler

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBL99kTrQvY

Today I want discuss the Deep State in the U.S. We want to see what is going on with the Deep State and what concerns us. Although no one writes about it, Turkey comes first in the Deep State agendas. Those who follow me know what is going on.

I wrote many times about the weapon lobbies, religious lobbies, and those certain families and their belief systems who are behind the Pentagon. I have written about those who circle the White House and especially the president.

And I have written about how often these groups collide. Now the tension between these groups is much higher than before. The tension has grown increasingly higher since the visit of President Erdogan.

Nobody knows that within the Deep State the turbulence is catastrophic. I will explain how big these turbulences are and I will name names so that is clear to those who should be listening and taking notice.

The Deep State i.e. the Pentagon. Behind the Pentagon the weapon developers are totally angered and enraged. Their rage is due to the uncontrollable Trump. That is why we see Trump’s problems with the Russia investigation and the fake whistle blower coming forward for the impeachment of the Trump. Trump does what is best for America and the Deep State can’t control him.

All the fights between Trump and media and the liberals is really the war between Trump and the Deep State supporters. They are the weapons lobby and the money lobby (the money lobby is the owners of the Federal Reserve). And now a third lobby has come into the picture. This makes the turbulence at the breaking point. All are pressuring Trump.

Okay- the question is what will happen now?

The trusted politician of the Deep State, Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell was given a duty. McConnell went to the White House to have talk with Trump. Although it was not said openly, McConnell was threatening President Trump. The interesting thing about the threat? Turkey was the center of this threat.

McConnell’s directive to Trump was that whatever we (the Deep State) put on the table you (President Trump) are to enforce it. Do what we tell you to do especially with the Kurds and Turkey. Openly he told Trump not to make any decisions that would give Turkey more power in Syria or take actions that would empower the Kurds.

The letter he sent to President Erdogan was what we wanted, but the letter was returned to Trump during the Erdogan/Trump meeting.

Under normal circumstances, a senator to threaten a president is unheard of, but the weapons lobby knowingly sent their politician, without hesitation, to convey the message to Trump. Two days after McConnell threatened Trump, McConnell sent an ambassador to convey to Trump the following:

“It is important to undermine the close cooperation between Turkey and Russia. In other words this partnership has to be dismantled and you will take action to exclude Turkey in Syria and then make it so that Turkey needs the Pentagon.”

Trump is a most unusual president and is better for America. He struggles to make a balance between the Deep State and the White House, but he is unable to please each side. The ambitions of the weapon developers lobby doesn’t stop. The more chaos in the world the better for them. The Deep State has made many attempts to convey the message. Does President Trump not understand the message?

That is the question.

But in Washington everyone’s opinion is that Trump’s future depends on McConnell. Trump knows that he won’t get what he wants from the senate. In other words, the Deep State will green light Trump for the 2020 election if Trump acts upon the wishes of the Pentagon. It is as simple as that.

Otherwise there will be a major campaign against Trump’s impeachment and as the campaign starts it will turn into a war. Why does the Pentagon want Turkey? What is the answer to this question?

McConnell explained that after WWII we did not do much, but the war made the U.S. a super power. After Kennedy’s killing we continued this method to keep America’s hegemony. In the 21^st century this system has to change, but it must change the way we want it to change. That is why the center of this circle is Turkey and includes twenty other countries that are crucial for us. The future of the 21^st century system starts here.

After McConnell’s explanation, the businessmen in Turkey started to move their dollars out of Turkey. This was expected but the speed of this money movement surprised even McConnell.

Turkey took steps to encounter this dollar movement but it was not sufficient.

Now the Deep State wants Turkey not to pursue its drilling rights in the Eastern Mediterranean. Now this is totally insane but that is what the Deep State’s problem is. Ten thousand miles away America wants to come to the Eastern Mediterranean and push Turkey out of its continental rights drilling wealth.

And they have planned every obstacle against Turkey to push Turkey out of its continental seashore and from the wealth of the Mediterranean. And they are openly saying to put more pressure on Turkey if need be.

While there was already tension between Washington and Ankara, it is worsening. The Senate has applied sanctions against Turkey. The Deep State is busy taking the pressure further to exclude Turkey from the wealth of the Eastern Mediterranean. Although the EU doesn’t want to be with U.S., they want to convey a similar message to Turkey.

That is why Turkey has put emphasis on national defense and an independent Turkey. The EU’s decision to put similar pressures on Turkey encourages the U.S. And they are planning to corner Turkey in March 2020. This date surfaces in the famous lobbies of Washington.

Turkey trusts Trump and there are plenty of valid reasons for this. Trump and Erdogan’s friendship is obvious. But the most powerful leader of the free world is unable to make a decision. He is able to stop wrong foreign policy decisions but he can’t make one for the future. Trump explained to Erdogan and although he agrees with him, the decision cannot be made. The Deep State continues to put obstacles in front of the decisions.

Let’s get back to the powerful Deep State figures and the hearsay in the lobbies of Washington. In six months what will happen in the Eastern Mediterranean oil fields? Where the EU stays is how Turkey reacts. These are the talking points of the lobbies.

America can’t just tell Turkey what to do and force its power like it does with the Arab States. It has to either talk to the Turkish leaders, be reasonable, and conduct give and take, or else. The old days of rude demeanor are gone. Or may the third world war commence.

That is the kind of threat Trump gets from the Deep State America and we will see what happens.

The End of the Greater Middle Eastern Project

The following article was translated by Behcet Kaya from a YouTube speech written by Ibrahim Karagul

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJeop7M1W3A

The terror corridor east of the Euphrates River created and besieged by the YPG and supported by the US has come to an end. From now on it will be a corridor of peace conquered and tamed by the TSK (Turkish Military) and a secure place for the Syrian refugees.

Where are those who forecasted and adjusted the future maps of the Middle East with US and Israel flags?

Erdogan had the luck of the Middle Eastern geography and the victory is for the Turkish nation. Bismillah is where we began and as of Wednesday all terror and injustice has come to an end. The tables have turned and the plans by Israel and the US for the Middle Eastern maps has become trash.

The deep state planning, brains, geopolitical knowledge, civilization, and identity of who we Turks are has been activated and has intervened in world political history once more.

Those who behaved mischievously towards Turkey and planned and forecasted the future of Kurdistan with US and Israeli flags, where are you? Where are the politicians who blackmailed and threatened Turkey? Where are those who threatened to teach the Turkish nation a lesson and wave the US and Israel flags?

For centuries we have been the ones who connected with and ruled this geography. All together we are the great conqueror of nations. We become the protector of these lands after we gained victory over the crusaders. During WWI we Turks paid a big price with our blood on every square mile of these lands. Not once did we cry over it and not once did we tell our problem to anyone. We are always ready to protect these lands.

Where are you? Where are those who want to try and toy with this nation? Where are you?

This nation of Turks protected and fought for Islam, our geography, our nation, gave birth to Seljuks, carried Ottomans to Europe, defended Islam on every continent, and without thinking always protected the underdog.  Those who tried to beat this Turkish nation and teach us a lesson with US, French, and Israeli made clubs, where are you now?

Throughout history we have fought for our rights, our geography, and our nation with numerous enemies. And those enemies, both domestic and foreign, have tried to corners us, enforce their wishes upon us, and tried to colonize us. Where are you now?

Where are those who divided Iraq and Syria? Where are those who thought they could divide Turkey and make Turkey like Syria? Where are those who made cheap and miscalculated plans? Where are you now?

All advanced civilizations and plans start in Anatolia and end in Anatolia. For a thousand years the Middle Eastern maps were designed in Anatolia and disassembled in Anatolia. For those who have forgotten that history and for those who can’t comprehend Turkey’s advances in economy, in defense, in technology, and misread the patience of this nation, where are you now?

Those nations who calculated, planned, and surrounded Turkey from the Eastern Mediterranean, to the Aegean, to Northern Syria with their US led terror corridor project in northern Syria, known as the Greater Israeli Project, with the goal of opening the southern front of Turkey, has all been thrown into the trash and destroyed.

The end of the US/Israeli failed plan started east of the Euphrates River on Wednesday, October 9, 2019, and will continue into the eastern Mediterranean, and the Aegean. From now on it will not be a terror corridor but it will be a peace corridor. It will be Turkey’s peace corridor.

The US/Israeli and European plan was to make a Turkish front from the border of Iran to the Mediterranean. This geography would be the main front and headquarters for invasion and future attacks on Turkey.

Turkey’s decisive move to disable the terror corridor in northern Syria was to protect the integrity of Syrian and Iraqi national borders, to protect the whole Middle East, and its own security. Turkey did this under rightful international law. Turkey risked the biggest threat from the US, Israel, and Europe and succeeded. Turkey announced to the world that it would not be cornered by the US and its close ties with the terrorist PKK.

Turkey’s movement eliminated the beginning of a new Syrian war. The US with YPG occupied one third of Syria and created the Syrian front in order to open a front and to declare war and invade Turkey. That was the plan.

They came with a map. A new map of the Middle East. It failed and this will be our map. The US and its allies did not care about the desires of the Syrian regime, the opposition party in Turkey, or the Syrian people. They came with a new map of the Middle East and acted according to their plan to institute that map. Now we are advancing with another map in our hands and its Turkey’s map.

If the coup of July 15, 2016 had been successful their map was going to be the new map of Turkey. What we started on October 9th was the resistance and continuation of the coup of July 15 2016.

While the US and its allies were planning in front of us they misread Turkish intention while we were slow to react. They worked hard to hand Turkey into the hands of the PKK/YPG. They thought since Turkey depends on the US and is a member of NATO it couldn’t move without NATO because NATO members were all in that plan. Big mistake because we Turks follow the rules. While we were being patient they thought we were weak.

For thousand years we have been paying our share of injustice. For six decades we have been the work horse for NATO. Now we are about to remind our NATO allies of that. The US and our NATO allies made the biggest planning mistake on this one. Turkey was patient and followed international law. Because of that our allies thought we were timid and weak.

The US leaders thought we believed what they said and that we had no clue what games they were playing. The US, especially the Pentagon and the Deep State cronies, thought we were going to be just like during the cold war period. They thought we would obey and do what they wanted us to do. They can’t get used to a new Turkey and a new leader that they can’t control.

The US leaders thought that we Turks would be distracted and to put off with trumped-up excuses and by playing a different version of the same theatre. They thought that with the front and their alliance with the FETO group inside Turkey, they would wind the wire around us, and we would be useless. That is what they believed.

For a thousand years we have been an empire on this geography. We Turks advanced and ruled on three continents for almost 622 years. They have forgotten we lost everything in WWI. It was the exact same scenario 100-years ago. They have forgotten everything and they have learned nothing. The Turks shaped this geography for thousand years.

This nation of Turks makes its most difficult decision without consulting any other nation. This nation has never begged to other powers to make history, never stood on its feet by other powers’ pity, and for a thousand years has paid the big price to hold on to this lands. But they have forgotten.

Once again we remind you what you have forgotten.

We remind you once again this nation will not be threatened. And that political brain that held this nation together for centuries will not be imprisoned. We want to remind you. We are defending our geography, our cities, and our sacred temples. What we were in Gelibolu we are the same in the Eastern Euphrates. What we were in Yemen, Canal, and Sarikamis we are in the Eastern Euphrates. We face the same enemies and retain the same power. We defend the same thing- we defend our lands, geography, history, civilization, shared identity, and our cities.

We never accepted those who came here along with their allies from another geography and tried to force upon us within our own country their wishes for us to submit to their rules and colonize us. We will never submit to it and today we announce that to the world. Two years ago we were debating about this defense. We must do it and today we show the world our firm decision.

The real reason is not the terror but the plans of bigger geographic maps and dividing Turkey. We have been aware of it for thirty years. The West had a plan to have a war with Islam. I am repeating: it was a plan to divide Turkey and now that plan has ended.

Since July 15, 2016 coup de tat, the biggest global event was the plan to stop Turkey in its advancement. Just like 100-years ago the plan was the same. They could not stop Turkey from inside so they attempted to have us surrender from outside. Today that plan has been stopped.

This is not just a terror situation, it’s the 100-year planned attempt to finish, to divide, and to manage Turkey. We too were planning for the last 100 years and the plans are still in progress. To defend the Eastern Euphrates, Turkey has no issues with the international arena and is confidant in defending it rightfully from terror. This is defending our land, defending Anatolia, national interests, and Middle East geography.

Those who plan to push the war inside Anatolia? They will be hunted in their tranches. They have always brought war into our lands. No other nation would be this patient and silent with terror on their borders. And terrors supported and planned by the US, NATO allies, and by the West. Turkey has shown incredible patience.

The US invaded Afghanistan with the excuse of fighting Al Quade, which the US themselves created. Over the past 20 years thousands have been killed. The US invaded Iraq with the lies of Weapons of Mass Destruction. Millions have been killed. How many times has the US invented lies and started preemptive wars thousands of miles away from its shores. While they were engaged in these wars, the US brought a terror organization next to the borders of Turkey and supported them with money, weapons and training.

In the interim the CIA groomed FETO in order to overthrow Turkey’s democratically elected government and commence civil war inside our borders. Through the PKK and Daesh they attacked and killed innocent civilians in our cities. The CIA fabricated lies about our military and jailed numerous highest ranking military members. The CIA through FETO’s terror organization infiltrated our judicial and police systems. They planned every terror attack on Turkey. Now the US and its NATO allies have nothing to say about our clearing out PKK/YPG terror groups from our borders and we are doing so decisively and your super power is powerless in the eyes of the world.

The US meddles in our region from thousands of miles away. We are defending our very borders. The US has nothing to say. We are clearing out the terror that you have brought to our region. Understand this. Turkey will clear this geography entirely. And you, the super power US, will watch and learn.

They come with plans for new Middle Eastern borders. We have centuries old wisdom and act accordingly. Watch who will be credible in the eyes of the world. The Turkish nation takes no notice and does not worry about these lies, misinformation, and the roaring in the news and on social media about our clearing northern Syria. It will cool down and in the end the victory is ours. Our decision will remain and the 21st century continues as we designed.

We are lucky to have Erdogan and victory is ours. President Erdogan is making history, he is our brain, our political history, our identity, our civilization, our geographic knowledge, and our conscience. This decision could not have been taken that easily. Erdogan is a Godsend. A leader for today and for our geography, our nation our people.

He moved according to our thousand year-old wisdom from Fatih, Yavuz, Kanuni, and Ataturk to Erdogan. This is a historical truth for our nation and in the future it will carry on the same wisdom. This is how history was written in the past and how it will be written in the future again. The victory is with our nation. This unison of our people and their efforts along with unique guidance will be recorded in the pages of new history.
