Turkish police mounted an operation where they randomly drug tested a load of actors and influencers... and 8 of them were apparently unlucky enough to have traces in their hair or blood.

So "government officials" got the regulators to approve the sale of big media companies to supposed criminals before all the latter's assets were seized. Convenient for their mates who wanted to sell the media companies.

Discreetly, the commission responsible for amending the constitution, composed solely of AKP members, met every week this summer. While the work could be completed in four months, some within the party are already calling for a referendum and general election to be held simultaneously.

If you wonder how crazy the regime's assault on the opposition in Turkey see the table below listing the charges against various people. It's impossible to follow all of them but this is the point - politics gets lost in its design through judiciary. Ordinary people don't have time to follow them.

What the Turkish government is trying to do to the CHP is what they did with several independent media outlets: rather than simply destroying them, you take them over, like a vampire biting its victims, making them into slaves. I.e. Replace CHP's leadership with compliant quislings.

While the CHP has taken (legal) countermeasures in anticipation of a potential cancellation of its 38th ordinary congress, President Erdogan's advisor Mehmet Uçum described such practices as contrary to the rule of law, adding that the party was playing into the hands of the “imperialists".
