SİTE İÇERİĞİ

There has been an uninterrupted campaign of psychological warfare waged against the BAV and Adnan Oktar for many years now. This war, prosecuted by a specific circle, is a helpless measure that stems from an inability to tolerate Adnan Oktar’s struggle against materialism and Darwinism and a refusal to accept the revelation and unveiling of the truth. Attempting to impose false ideas on people by way of psychological techniques, and to keep the true facts hidden from them, is an indication of a fraudulent and biased attitude, rather than a sincere and genuine one. Indeed, the smear campaign that has been waged against Mr. Oktar and the BAV for decades now is one of the most important examples of this psychological warfare.

Under the influence and direction of the circles involved in prosecuting this psychological war, there have to date been many plots against Adnan Oktar, and he has been slandered many times and many smear campaigns against him have been set in motion. These circles have reported any court stories regarding Adnan Oktar beneath headlines in giant letters, but have kept hidden any reports that Mr. Oktar has been absolved of these allegations, despite all the plots against him. Under the effect of this technique, with its ulterior motive, people for long imagined that the court cases initiated against Adnan Oktar because of the allegations made against him were still continuing. For a long time there were attempts to conceal the fact that all the allegations in question had been proven to be false and that Mr. Oktar had been absolved of each and every one. That is because one of the main techniques in psychological warfare of this kind is to report only those court cases in which such accusations are considered, and to remain silent when it comes to any information proving their false nature.

Those engaged in prosecuting this psychological war have also supported all the plots against Adnan Oktar since 1986.

We can cite some examples of this as follows:

As a result of one conspiracy against him in 1986, Mr. Oktar was detained for a total of 19 months, 10 of which were spent in a mental hospital and 9 months in the prison. This plot, which coincided with the period when Mr. Oktar wrote and published the book Judaism and Freemasonry, which elicited an enormous reaction, was intended to hinder his intellectual struggle against materialism and atheism. Threats were made to the effect that unless Adnan Oktar, detained in prison and a mental facility because of various groundless reports and slanders by a number of press organizations, put an end to the publication of his book, this pressure would continue. The pressure he was exposed to there was simply a method intended to force him to abandon his powerful intellectual struggle. However, this measure ended in complete failure. Mr. Oktar was found innocent when the Prosecutor’s Office stated it had no evidence against him, and he was duly freed by the court.

The 1991 cocaine conspiracy which followed the failure of this plot is important evidence that Darwinist and materialist circles will stop at nothing in their struggle. During this time work was under way on a most important book concerning the history of Freemasonry and its global organization. Police raided the house in Ortakoy that Mr. Oktar shared with his mother and apparently discovered cocaine in the only third book, out of a library of some 2000 volumes, that they picked up. Mr. Oktar was then detained and sent to the Forensic Medicine Department to be tested for cocaine after spending 72 hours at the Istanbul Security Department Headquarters. It was then announced that high levels of a side-product of cocaine had been identified in Adnan Oktar’s bloodstream. Later still, however, all the evidence put forward revealed that this allegation was merely a conspiracy. It emerged that immediately prior to the police operation, carried out by 20 officers, Mr. Oktar’s mother, neighbor and janitor had cleaned the house from top to bottom, and that these individuals had issued a statement, confirmed by a public notary, saying “we cleaned Adnan Oktar’s house in great detail, and there was no such packet in it.” The issue of the cocaine side-product discovered in Adnan Oktar’s blood was also demolished by scientific and forensic evidence. The findings obtained revealed that the level in question would be lethal if administered 72 hours previously, for which reason the cocaine must have been taken later than that, in other words while Adnan Oktar was in detention by being mixed in with his food.

The confirmation by numerous Turkish and foreign institutions as well as the Forensic Medicine Department that the cocaine had been administered while he was detained, by being mixed in with his food, led to Mr. Oktar being discharged by the court. However, this was not covered by some parts of the media in the same way that his detention had been, and there was literally an attempt to hide it.

Those same circles again resorted to various pressure techniques to hinder Mr. Oktar and his activities in 1999. As a result of these, which were initiated at a time when Adnan Oktar was in the process of publishing his book Global Freemasonry, Mr. Oktar was detained along with a number of BAV members. Those parts of the media involved in the operation increased their psychological warfare campaign at this time. Despite no evidence being uncovered during the course of the operation, various music cassettes, DVD players and floppy disk drives were depicted as “blackmail tools” in various media organs. Statements made under pressure at the Security Department Headquarters were loudly reported by those same circles and carried in written and picture form in press organs and TV channels under their control. In addition, while this smear campaign was going on unbelievable slanders were issued against Mr. Oktar and BAV members, albeit in the absence of any evidence whatsoever. The publishing organs in question felt no need to verify their claims in portraying them to the public as established facts and carrying news stories that were literally lies. As a result of this ugly campaign Adnan Oktar was imprisoned for nine months, with no valid legal evidence against him being submitted.

Subjects that would have the most profound public impact were selected during this psychological war, claims of moral degeneration were made and all kinds of defamation technique were employed with no evidence ever being submitted. Interestingly, although Adnan Oktar was absolved through the evidence in court of all charges following the operation in 12 November, 1999, this outcome was little reported in the press. This indicates the existence of a sinister structure behind the war in question. If the publishing organs in question were honest and impartial they should have reported the outcome of the court proceedings under banner headlines in the same way. Instead, however, and as one method deliberately employed in the psychological campaign, they resorted solely to smears.

Evidence of the psychological war directed against Adnan Oktar is by no means limited to this. For example, the interior minister at the time of the police operation in 1999, described Mr. Oktar as “a greater danger than the PKK.” To describe someone with such superior virtues, who tells others of proper moral values, teaches the Qur’an, reminds the entire world of the signs leading to faith and the beauty in Allah’s creation, and who seeks to defend it from the danger of communism, as a worse threat than the PKK is clearly a smear against Mr. Oktar. The PKK is a terrorist organization that seeks to spread communist ideas, acts with the aim of destroying religious beliefs, does not hesitate to ruthlessly slaughter innocent people and wishes to split up the motherland, Turkey. Yet there have been attempts to describe Mr. Oktar, someone who has dedicated his life to earning the approval of Allah and who is the greatest foe of communism and separatist terror, as a worse danger than the deadly organization in question. This is a complete violation of reason and good conscience.

The same psychological warfare technique has also been employed in different forms. For example, a summons to Adnan Oktar to attend the next session of the most recent and still continuing BAV trial was loudly announced by various press organs. However, Mr. Oktar attended the Justice Department and issued his own statement, following which the proceedings were dropped. This outcome should also have been reported just as loudly, though nothing of the kind happened. That is because such a move would have been incompatible with the warfare techniques employed by the sinister forces directing the campaign in question. These circles operate under the logic of “throw enough mud and some will stick.” Yet court summonses are perfectly normal events and are issued to hundreds of people every day. Yet no banner headlines announcing them ever appear regarding anyone else but Adnan Oktar. All these things are techniques of the psychological warfare being directed against very powerful ideas. There are many other examples of the psychological warfare directed against Mr. Oktar. One such was the way that one publishing organ used the headline “Adnan Hodja is finally burnt out!” in reference to a Supreme Court decision to overturn a previous verdict regarding the statute of limitations in the context of the case opened against BAV. One columnist known to be a Darwinist, working for a leftist paper, sought to gather support for the war under the headline “Let’s hope Adnan Hodja is finally burnt out!” Note that no evidence against Adnan Oktar was submitted anywhere. No evidence emerged in the nine years since the police operation and the initiation of judicial proceedings. It eventually emerged that all allegations were false and Mr. Oktar was absolved of each and every claim made against him. Nonetheless, certain circles still have no qualms about using the most unbelievable language and persisting in the war in question.

Similarly, the slanders issued against Adnan Oktar and the BAV by Ebru Simsek were also used to support this psychological warfare. Some press organs used these following the same warfare method and publicized them under banner headlines. It eventually emerged that all Ebru Simsek’s allegations were lies and Adnan Oktar was again absolved of all the claims made against him. It emerged that Ebru Simsek had committed perjury in court, though this was never mentioned in those press organs constituting the bastion of this psychological warfare. Accusatory headlines based on Ebru Simsek’s lies appeared all over the place, though court records showing that these were all lies were scrupulously kept hidden.

There can be no doubt that this psychological warfare against Adnan Oktar did not escape the attention of some press commentators; even Ismet Berkan, a columnist for daily Radikal, admitted that the unjustified attack made during the 1991 operation was psychological warfare. He openly described one technique in the warfare being prosecuted by saying that “there is no room for the principle of keeping investigations secret in this warfare.”

In summary, it appears that this psychological warfare against Adnan Oktar will continue for so long as he continues his activities against materialism, atheism and Darwinism. That is because, materialist, communist and Marxist circles have never before seen such a powerful and determined attack on them. They are watching Adnan Oktar’s strength, intelligence and activities with fear and amazement, and are aware that these endeavors being made on Allah’s path are achieving significant results. They are literally in a state of panic, and are doing all they can in order to hinder this great success against Darwinism and materialism. However, there is one thing they are unaware of: no matter how much time they spend on these false methods, no matter how much they resort to psychological warfare techniques, it is still, by Allah’s will, the supporters of Allah who will emerge victorious. That is why a campaign waged with such false techniques will inevitably fail no matter how effective it seemed in the past. Adnan Oktar, who places his trust in Allah, has never been affected in the slightest by this campaign, waged against him for so many years, as materialists have expected, and has even been strengthened by all these assaults. The way that some circles have grown increasingly fearful in the face of this can be seen from the terminology they employ, which is filled with despair and hopelessness on account of their failure.
