Steemit + Wikileaks = Freedom of Information
Steemit could provide a valuable source of income for media outlets fighting for transparency in a seemingly never ending war against government censorship.
Today Wikileaks is releasing more than 100,000 emails and documents related to Turkey's attempted coup, which many think was staged by the current president Recep Erdoğan to justify the ongoing purge of more than 50,000 soldiers, police, judges, civil servants and teachers that may (or may not) have opposed the Erdoğan regime.
It seems the Turkish government is likely to censor the Wikileaks information and prevent it from getting to where it is more needed - the Turkish people:

Imagine what would happen if the Turkish opposition, apparently numbering around 50,000 people, upvoted the Wikileaks release?
Wars are ultimately about money - the side with the most money usually wins - and there are no deeper pockets than those of the governments. Steemit completely reshapes the battlefield and gives the little guy a fighting chance to take the high ground.
The winds of change are stirring...

I knew it was staged the moment Erdogan vanished and we saw a helicopter mowing down innocent civilians. What better way to regain devotion to Government than to create a false enemy. They've literally reshaped the entire infrastructure of Turkey in the aftermath. Anybody who did have a voice before this, is now locked up or have disappeared. The NWO is on a war path!
Word.
Turkey has already been caught out for supporting ISIS. Turkey is literally apart of the same group enforcing democracy in the Middle East. The main enemy to Democracy in the Middle East is the PKK. You'd think the Saudis would be but fortunately for them they have all the oils and monies. Poor PKK are getting slaughtered and anyone who goes to help them is labeled a terrorist. ISIS at this point is a propaganda machine just as Nazi Germany was back in 1940. Fuck Turkey for supporting that shit, Fuck the American Powers-that-be for funding this bullshit, and fuck big business for profiteering off the shit. Ass hats.
It's a mess and it's only going to end in tears.
the change is here, exciting times
Do you mean the change in Turkey or disruptive technologies? ;-)
disruptive tech but this will be the change to the first soon, it's about time 8]
How about disruptive tech causing change in Turkey? Can you imagine what Steemit could do for those people?
The crazy thing is: Erdogan seems to be backed up by his voters - the majority of turks
Probably in the same way Hillary Clinton will be backed by the majority of voters. ;)
Similar to SP, SMD tokens cannot be purchased directly on an external exchange. SMD are primarily earned through contributing but can be purchased by converting STEEM tokens to SMD tokens.
Actually Steem Dollars can now purchased on external exchanges !

or just SD = Steem Dollars (not SMD please edit)
What does that have to do with this post?
As I understand how their government is setup that makes sense. When the coup happened I said I was for the coup if it was a good thing for the people and not another case of just throwing out a legit government to replace it with a corrupt one. I was informed on that day by Turkish posters here that it was legit. They are a Republic like pretty much every government that claims to be a Democracy (including the U.S.) but they have 4 branches instead of three. One of those branches is the military of which all citizens must at some point serve in. That branch as I understand it does not answer to the President, etc. As I understand it elements in that military branch were not happy with a lot of the Presidents leaning towards support of Islamic radicals and such and they sought to remove him from office. Now about a week later I am not sure what to believe. Some indicate the U.S. may be YET again monkeying around in internal affairs of other foreign nations. Whether this is true or not I have no clue. At this point it is really murky and I am uncertain what is legit and what is propaganda.
EDIT: Yet that night I saw the helicopter firing on civilians on that highway too. And I was under the impression that might have been the established government firing on civilians. I also don't recall seeing any of those civilians actually getting hit and falling. I commented on that last week.
It is strange how we trade liberty for security and end up with neither.
Hehe. Yeah you'd think history would teach people. Oh wait you need to actually bother to learn history and KEEP learning it.
Wikileaks is a glorified dox factory don't buy their anarchist b.s.
Thousands of Turkey Citizens got doxed for as a result of their trash
