The Spin

Erdogan's regime just orchestrated a judicial coup against Istanbul's popular mayor with a ridiculous 2,430-year sentence demand. This political purge disguised as corruption charges targets Turkey's strongest opposition leader right before elections. The timing exposes this as pure authoritarian theater designed to eliminate democratic competition.

A massive corruption investigation uncovered a criminal organization that drained $3.8 billion from public coffers through rigged tenders and fraud. The 3,900-page indictment details 143 separate criminal acts involving 402 suspects with solid evidence including WhatsApp confessions. Justice demands accountability for this decade-long theft of taxpayer money.
