    Islamist Turkey Using Indian Tribes to Infiltrate the US

    Islamists. If they can’t get in the front door, they’ll try the back door. If they can’t get through the back door, they’ll try the kitchen window, the doggie door or the chimney.

    welcome to Oklahoma Native America

    AINA has the strange and troubling story of Turkey’s infiltration of Native American tribes where they can get access to semi-autonomous territories at low cost. Turkey is ruled by AKP Islamists who are linked to all sorts of Islamic terrorist groups from Al Qaeda to Hamas.

    The bill was the culmination of a curious multi-year effort by Turkey to ingratiate itself with Native American tribes: tribal students now study in Turkey with full scholarships; Turkish high officials regularly appear at Native American economic summits; and dozens of tribal leaders have gone to Turkey on lavish all-expense paid trips.

    Is it really in America’s national security interests to have thousands of Turkish contractors and their families flooding into America’s heartland and settling in semi-autonomous zones out of the reach of American authorities? Especially if their intent is to form intimate business and social ties with a long-aggrieved minority group?

    In the original version of H.R. 2362, the stated purpose was to “encourage increased levels of commerce and economic investment [with Native American tribes] by private entities incorporated in or emanating from the Republic of Turkey.” It allowed for select Native American tribes to lease land held in trust by the United States for “a project or activity … in furtherance of a commercial partnership involving one or more private entities incorporated in or emanating from the Republic of Turkey.”

    The bill, in both its forms, severely limits federal oversight of the investment projects, and does not even require the Department of the Interior to approve the leases. The term of the leases could stretch 75 years, effectively tying the hands of future Administrations.

    Islamists see American minorities, whether Blacks, Latinos or Indians, as weak links who can be exploited as fifth columns. They’re not alone in that assessment.

    Imperial Japan fantasized about an African America army acting as a fifth column to help the Emperor conquer America. That fantasy never came to pass, but the Japanese missions did invent sizable amounts of money into transporting black leaders to Japan.

    The Islamists have already gotten a man in the White House who was elected on the strength of his minority identity, and who has served the interests, not of the black community, but that of the Islamist agenda.

    The Native American angle isn’t Turkey’s only angle, but it’s one of them, and they have invested some serious prestige into pushing it.

    In November 2010, the TCA organized and led the first Native American Business Cooperation Trip to Turkey, attracting 20 leaders from 17 Native American tribes. The tribal leaders met with Turkish high officials, including Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu. “The meeting in Turkey marked the tribal leaders’ first significant overseas trade meeting,” reported the Associated Press.

    In March 2011, the TCA engineered the appearance of the Turkish Deputy Minister for Foreign Trade at the Reservation Economic Summit (RES) and American Indian Business Trade Fair in Las Vegas. The Turkish Minister was the “first foreign government official to ever deliver remarks” in the event’s history.

    In February 2012, the Turkish Deputy Economy Minister and the Turkish Ambassador to Washington joined the TCA at the RES.

    And does this come with attempts to implant Islam into Native American tribes? You might as well ask whether a Muslim bear uses his lota in the woods.

  • First Native American Business Cooperation Trip

    First Native American Business Cooperation Trip

    ISTANBUL, TURKEY — Representatives from 17 Native American tribes left the U.S. on Nov. 6 for a week long business, educational and cultural exchange trip to Turkey on Turkish Airlines’ inaugural flight from Washington, D.C. to Istanbul, organized by the Turkish Coalition of America.

    Among the delegation is NAIHC Executive Director Mellor Willie (Navajo), former Salish and Kootenai Chairman James Steele, Tom Acevedo of S&K Technologies, and representatives from the Montana State Tribal Economic Development Commission, the Montana State Tribal Economic Development Program, and the Montana Native American Development Corporation.

    Participants on the first Native American Business Cooperation Trip are scheduled to meet with Turkish Minister for Foreign Affairs Ahmet Davutoglu, Minister for Foreign Trade Zafer Caglayan, and members of the Turkish Parliament’s Turkey-USA Friendship Group.

    The group also met with representatives of the Turkish Exporters’ Council; participate in business symposiums and networking at Istanbul Technical University, Hacettepe University, and Bahcesehir University; and visited Gallipoli, the site of a World War I campaign that still resonates with Turks as a defining moment in the history of the Turkish people and the modern Republic of Turkey.

    “The Native American Business Cooperation Trip is the highlight of our recent efforts to foster increased economic and cultural ties between Turkey and Indian Country,” G. Lincoln McCurdy, president of TCA, said. “It is one of the largest Native American international delegations in recent years, and the first to visit Turkey. This trip marks the latest evolution in our work promoting the development of relationships between the Turkish peoples and the many ethnic and cultural groups in the United States.”

    TCA has already organized three meetings with Minister for Foreign Trade Caglayan in 2010, including two meetings in the U.S. between Minister Caglayan and Native American delegations, laying the groundwork for the Business Cooperation Trip.

    The delegation returned on Nov. 14. Other participants on Turkish Airlines’ inaugural flight include Members of Congress, journalists and think tank experts.

  • Long Lost Relatives Meet Again

    Long Lost Relatives Meet Again

    It is a widely held opinion by anthropologists, archeologists, sociologists, historians, and other scholars and intellectuals that the natives of all Americas (South, Central, and North) had probably come by a land bridge over the Bering Straits many thousands of years ago when sea around series of island had frozen—numbers range from 7,000 to 70,000 years ago depending on who is interpreting the research findings and data. (It must also be noted that some scholars caution not to leave the sea route out, pointing to the natives of Australia and many South Pacific islands, but same scholars are quick to add that sea route could not have been a major contributor to populating of the Americas.)

    Thus, it is safe to assume that most natives of Americas had come from Siberia and Central Asia, areas where hunting and gathering may be challenging at best, if not also scarce to support large populations. Those areas are home to many groups of Turkic nations, tribes, and groups, including but not limited to Kirghiz, Uzbek, Turkmen, Kazakh, Uyghur, Tuva, Hakas, Altay, and Yakut–all of whom also represent the source of Turkish identity in Anatolia today. This connection may help explain many similarities between the Turkics of Asia and Europe on one hand and the natives of Americas on the other: genetically (birth mark that appears at the end of the spine at birth and disappears after a short while that is known among the natives of Arizona natives and Kazakhs of Asia;) linguistically (many common words in Turkic and Native languages like odam=adam=man, ikki=iki=two, etc. 😉 culturally (profound respect to elders, tepee=yurt;) and other aspects.

    While we will let the scholars do the research and interpretation on this matter, let us turn our attention to re-discovery of long lost relationships. Here is a press release by the Turkish Coalition of America which may shed some more light on this topic.

    TCA Promotes Trade Relationship Between Turkey and Hopi Tribe

    July 24, 2010 – Los Angeles, CA – On Tuesday, July 20th the Turkish Coalition of America (TCA) facilitated a meeting between the visiting Turkish Trade Minister, Zafer Caglayan, and representatives of the Hopi Tribe, including Ali Cayir, the first Hopi Tribe Representative to Turkey.

    During the meeting, Cayir described the benefits of working with the tribes in the United States, which operate as sovereign nations with their own governments that can deal on an equal footing with Turkey in negotiating trade and investment relationships. The Hopi Tribe, whose reservation is in Arizona, hopes to promote increased solar power projects, continued coal extraction, and the development of a major consumer center for the reservation’s residents.

    “When TCA began connecting the Hopi and Turkish peoples, we were working to develop completely new relationships. The meeting between the Hopi Tribe and Minister Caglayan represents a giant step forward in tying together the native peoples of the U.S. and Turkey through trade and investment. This is an unprecedented development. TCA is proud to have helped launch this extraordinary relationship,” said TCA President G. Lincoln McCurdy.

    Minister Caglayan, meeting with the Tribe for the first time, spoke of the affinity and possible kinship of the Turkish and Native American peoples, based on ancestral migration thousands of years ago, and expressed interest in visiting the Hopi reservation upon his return to the United States in October 2010.

    Also in attendance were several commercial representatives of Turkish business interests, who engaged in a discussion of investment and construction opportunities on the reservation. The parties walked away with a plan for the Hopi Tribe to conduct initial feasibility studies and cost-benefit analyses that would justify potential Turkish involvement on the reservation.

    Samuel Shingoitewa, Jr., advisor to the Tribe’s chairman, closed the meeting by reiterating the Tribe’s desire to work with Turkey, and expressed his desire for the Hopi Tribe to aggressively expand its relationships with other nations over the next four years.

    For years, TCA has promoted the development of relationships between the Turkish peoples and the many ethnic and cultural groups in the United States, including a program to provide scholarships for Native American, African American, Hispanic American and Armenian American students for study abroad in Turkey or the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.
