A GUIDE TO SLEDGEHAMMER IN 15 QUESTIONS
1 What are the defendants in the Sledgehammer case
charged with?
There are 195 defendants in the Sledgehammer case.
According to the Sledgehammer Indictment, in December 2002, soon after the general
elections of November 2002, a full‐fledged coup plan under the leadership of 1st
Army commander Çetin Doğan was launched to topple the AKP government. The plot contemplated
the bombing of mosques, downing a Turkish fighter jet, the take‐over of hospitals and
pharmacies, the closing of NGOs, the arrest of journalists and politicians, ...
The Indictment also charges that the coup plot was given a dress rehearsal on 5‐7 March 2003 in
a seminar at the 1st Army Headquarters.
2 What is the source of these allegations?
In January 2010, an unknown individual delivers a suitcase to journalist Mehmet
Baransu. The suitcase contains 2,000 odd pages of documents not connected to the investigation,
10 cassettes of voice recordings of the 1st Army plan seminar (made under Çetin Doğan’s
orders), and 19 CDs.
Of the 19 CDs, 16 are authentic CDs from the 1st Army archives that do not make any reference
to criminal activities. All the documents relating to the Sledgehammer coup plans are in the
remaining 3 CDs. One of these CDs, CD no. 11, contains all the documents that are subject of
the Sledgehammer investigation.
3 What does the Sledgehammer CD contain?
This CD (CD no. 11) contains all the documents that mention Sledgehammer‐related
activities: all the operational plans, (Oraj, Suga, Çarşaf, Sakal), list of NGOs slated to be closed,
blacklists of individuals from various institutions, journalists to be arrested, vehicles, hospitals,
and pharmacies to be taken over, personnel assignments.... In short, all the documents on which
the Sledgehammer charges rest are recorded on this CD.
This CD also contains copies of documents from the other, authentic CDs, which do not refer to
any criminal activities.
4 When (and how) was the Sledgehammer CD produced
according to the Indictment?
According to all the forensic reports in the file, this CD was produced in a
single session, and no additions/deletions were made subsequently.
The forensic analyses report that the date of creation for the CD is shown as 5 March 2003 in the
metadata of the CD. All the documents in the CD have last‐save dates (again in their metadata)
that are prior to this date. The Indictment charges that the CD was created specially for Çetin
Doğan just prior to the 1st Army plan seminar.
5 Are there signed, printed versions of these digital
Sledgehammer documents?
No.
None of the Sledgehammer documents carry signatures (wet or dry). Everything is recorded on
a CD.
6 Is it possible to tell whether the CD was produced really
in 2003 from the metadata?
No.
It is possible to change any computer’s system clock backwards or forwards. For
example, if you reset your computer’s clock backwards today to 2003, all the files and
documents that you prepare on your computer will show not today’s date (2011) but the date
that you have reset the computer to (2003).
The same is also true for the names of the individuals that show under the username
information in the metadata. You can define any usernames you like in your computer. If you
define, say “Marilyn Monroe” instead of your own name for the username, the metadata on the
documents will show that the documents were prepared by Marilyn Monroe.
7 Can the Sledgehammer CD really have been prepared in
2003?
No.
When we look at the documents inside the CD, we see that they contain information
from 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005 and 2004 that could not have been known
back in 2003.
Let’s give one example for each year.
2009 İstanbul ilinde bulunan ilaç depoları.doc
A document dated 4 February 2003 lists a company called Yeni Recordati İlaç.
However, this firm is called Yeni İlaç in 2003. The firm is bought by the Italian company
Recordati in 2008. Following a decision by the board of directors in July 2009, the firm is
renamed to Yeni Recordati İlaç.
2008 İstanbul ilinde bulunan özel hastaneler.doc
A document dated 5 February 2003 lists a hospital called Medical Park Sultangazi.
But there is no hospital by that name in 2003. There is a hospital named Sultan Hastanesi in
Sultangazi district, Istanbul. This hospital is taken over by the Medical Park group of hospitals
in July 2008 and its name is changed to Medical Park Sultangazi.
2007 Savunma Sanayi.xls
This document dated 25 February 2003 lists individuals employed in Aselsan and thought to be
suitable for providing support to the coup.
According to information provided by Aselsan to the prosecutors, the individuals named İ.B.,
V.T. and R.E.P. started work at Aselsan in June 2007, July 2007 and September 2007,
respectively. These individuals were not employed in Aselsan in 2003.
2006 Kapatılacak ve el konulacak dernekler. doc
In this document dated 24 February 2003 an NGO named Liberal Avrupa Derneği
(”Liberal Europe”) is listed as a “separatist” organization, and is slated to be closed following
the coup.
However, there is no such NGO in 2003 yet. There is instead an NGO named Hür Demokratlar
Derneği (“Free Democrats”). This NGO decides to rename itself in its annual meeting of April
2006. Among the names put forward, Liberal Avrupa takes the most votes and becomes the
official name of the organization.
2005 Milli Mutabakat Hükümeti Programı.doc
In this document dated 3 March 2003 the Sledgehammer coup planners outline their economic
program. The document contains verbatim, word‐for‐word extracts from a paper presented by
Haydar Baş during the closeing session of an economic congress in November 2005.
A small example:
Milli Mutabakat Hükümeti Programı.doc, page 5, paragraph 5:
“1999 yılında IMF, Türkiye’ye mali destekli yeni bir anlaşma yapılabilmesi için Bankalar
Yasası, Sosyal Güvenlik Yasası, Uluslararası Tahkim, Özelleştirme… gibi sözde
reformların yapılması gerektiği bildirilmiştir.”
Haydar Baş, lectuure at the National Economy Congress on 27 November 2005, paragraph58:
“1999 yılında IMF, Türkiye’ye mali destekli yeni bir anlaşma yapılabilmesi için
Türkiye’nin Bankalar Yasası, Sosyal Güvenlik Yasası, Uluslar arası Tahkim,
Özelleştirme… gibi sözde reformlarını yapması gerektiğini bildirmiştir.”
2004 Birinci Sinif Kamu Gorevlileri ve Destek Durumlari hazine.docbelgesi
In this document dated 15 February 2003 employees of the national Treasury are listed
according to their likely support of the Sledgehammer coup.
N.B. is shown in this document as Deputy Undersecretary, a post he will take up in October
2004. Similarly, B.A. is also listed as Deputy Undersecretary, a position he will begin to occupy
in April 2004. N.Ş and Z.B are shown on duty abroad, even though they are in the country.
Their foreign posting takes place with a decree issued in March 2004.
8 Could it be that these anachronisms are due to the
updating of the Sledgehammer documents in later years?
No. Because:
The prosecutors claim that the CD in question is the original CD prepared for Çetin
Doğan in 2003. Plus, this CD is burned in a single session, so there have been no additions or
deletions made subsequent to first recording. It is not possible for this CD to have been
updated in later years.
Consequently, this CD was prepared in August 2009 at the earliest. The individuals who
produced the CD in 2009 manipulated the computer clock and the usernames to create the
impression that it was prepared in 2003 by the defendants on trial.
If a CD prepared in 2009 contained a routine updating of earlier plans, the recording date on the
CD’s metadata would show the year 2009, not 2003. Moreover, the usernames on the metadata
and the names under the documents would refer to officers on duty in 2009. The
Sledgehammer documents contain the names of individuals on duty in 2003.
For instance, the officer who appears to have prepared the document referring to the firm Yeni
Recordati İlaç (judging by the name under the document as well as the metadata) retired in
August 2003. It makes no sense to think that this same individual would be the one to update
the document 6 years later, leaving his rank of 2003 on the updated document while resetting
the computer’s clock also back to 2003.
9 How come prosecutors have not identified even a single
one of these contradictions?
Prosecutors sent the lists in the CDs to various institutions and asked for confirmation of
dates and names. The responses they received show clearly that these documents, and hence
the Sledgehammer CD, could not have been produced in 2003. Inexplicably, the prosecutors
placed this correspondence under seal instead of including it in the indictment or its annexes.
In addition, prosecutors made wrong and misleading statements in the indictment by
indicating that the responses they received were consistent with the authenticity of the
Sledgehammer CDs.
10 The Sledgehammer CD may be fake, but don’t the voice
recordings from the 1st Army plan seminar confirm the
coup plans?
No. The Sledgehammer Plan and the associated documents exist only on the CD.
During the seminar, no mention is made of Sledgehammer or of any of the other associated
operational plans. The seminar is recorded by the orders of Çetin Doğan himself and takes
place with 15 observers from the General Staff and Landed Forces Command in attendance. It
is impossible for a coup to have been secretly discussed in this seminar without Ankara’s
knowledge (and recorded on top).
The purpose of the seminar was to test the Army’s existing plans against a particular
contingency scenario, one involving both an external threat and an opportunistic domestic
uprising. The contingency scenario doesn’t include mosque bombings, downing a jet, or a
takeover of the government.
The fraudsters who fabricated the Sledgehammer documents used some of the statements from
the seminar and placed them in their documents, creating the illusion of a relationship between
these documents and the seminar.
11 Aren’t the defendants charged with discussing a coup in
the plan seminar?
There are 195 defendants in the Sledgehammer case. Among these only 48 were
participants in the seminar. The other 147 defendants have no relationship at all to the seminar.
They are charged because their names appear in one form or another in the Sledgehammer CD.
Moreover, of the 162 seminar participants, 114 are not defendants. There are several very active
participants in the seminar whom the prosecutors have decided not to charge with anything.
To repeat, all the Sledgehammer documents which give the case its name come out of a CD.
Prosecutors say this CD was prepared in 2003 for Çetin Doğan.
12 What about the 10 sacks of Sledgehammer documents that
were discovered in the Naval Command at Gölcük?
What was “discovered” in Gölcük are not 10 sacks of Sledgehammer documents. There
were plastic bags under a raised floor containing hundreds of books, magazines, cables, etc.
These bags contained also 2 CDs and 1 discontinued hard disk. New files had been added to
the hard disk after the hard disk had been removed from its original computer.
It is these 2 CDs and the hard disc that constitute the “additional” Sledgehammer files. Police reports on the contents of these CDs and hard disk were subsequently collated into 43 files, and distributed to
the defendants.
13 Does the discovery of the Sledgehammer files in the
Naval Command make them authentic?
No.
CD no. 1 from Gölcük contains all the same Sledgehammer files that the Indictment is based on.
In addition, there is a single Word file on this CD. So all the anachronisms in CD 11 are
contained also in CD no. 1 from Gölcük. So this new CD is as fake as the previous one.
The other CD contains documents alleged to have been prepared by the Gendarmerie.
14 Can the new Sledgehammer documents be genuine?
No.
The new Sledgehammer files are on hard disk no. 5. This hard disk was removed from usage in
July 2009 after which apparently new additions were made. These files relate to the Suga ve
Oraj plans. These new files too are made to look like they date from 2003.
There are no signed, printed versions of these documents.
There are countless anachronisms in these documents too, very similar to those in CD no. 11.
There are additional kinds of inconsistencies as well.
Here are a few examples of the evidence that indicates these documents are fabricated.
2005 TARD.doc
This document dated 30 July 2003 provides a list of officers to be discharged in connection with
the Suga plan. Among these officers, one is shown on duty on the frigate TCG Alanya.
However, the Navy doesn’t yet have such a ship in 2003. TCG Alanya is commissioned two
years later, built in Germany, and joins the Turkish Navy in 2005.
Rome toplantı sonuç.doc and EKA Toplantı Sonuç Raporu.doc
According to these documents, two separate meetings were held to prepare for the Suga plan at
the Navy Headquarters on 13 December 2002 and 2 January 2003.
One of the officers who appears to have participated is on foreign duty during those dates at the
EUROMARFOR Headquarters (Rome, Italy). His passport records show he didn’t make a single
trip back to Turkey between November 2002 and September 2003.
U.S.A. müzahirPer.doc and müzahirPerEK‐A.doc
The officer who appears to have prepared this document on 13 December 2002 is in training at
the time in the U.S. His passport records show he didn’t make any trips to Turkey between July
2002 and June 2003.
“Ateşe” ek.doc and caner ben_1.doc
The military attaché in Rome who appears to have prepared this document dated 2003
describes his post (both on the letterhead and underneath the letter) as “ateşe.” The proper
spelling in Turkish is “ataşe.”
It is inconceivable that the officer would be unaware of the proper spelling of the position he
occupied.
Moreover, the same document shows an officer on duty at CCMAR Naples. At the time that the
document was prepared, CCMAR Naples did not yet exist. CCMAR Naples started operations
in July 2004.
There are countless similar examples...
A large number of officers are listed with ranks they will fill in later years.
Officers who appear to have prepared certain documents sometimes get wrong:
their own military ranks,
their own titles,
and even their own names!
15 How is it possible for fabricated documents to be found in
the Naval Command?
It is not news that there are moles in the military who have access to secret documents.
The suitcase that was delivered to Mehmet Baransu contained secret documents and voice
recordings obtained from the 1st Army. These genuine documents and voice recordings had
been secreted out and packaged together with fabricated documents.
This time, the fake CDs and the hard disk (with the additions) were placed in Gölcük under the
raised floor boards among the bags of books and other material already there.
It may be surprising that there are moles with such access. But the Gölcük case doesn’t teach us
anything new that we did not know.
TWO FINAL QUESTIONS........
Why don’t we read about these in the press?
An important segment of the media (dailies such as Taraf, Zaman, Star, and Sabah especially)
has engaged in systematic distortion and disinformation about the evidence in the
Sledgehammer case.
You can find example of this at http://cdogangercekler.wordpress.com/category/medyayalanlari/
(in Turkish).
Other parts of the media have preferred to keep their distance to the case, in view of the
pressure and intimidation to which they have been subjected.
What is the status of the Sledgehammer defendants
at present?
163 of the defendants have been ordered detained by the court.
Apart from two defendants who are being treated in hospitals and several who are on foreign
duty, all of them are in jail at the Silivri or Hasdal prisons.
***
All of the judges who had previously ruled in favor of releasing the defendants over the course
of the Sledgehammer investigation have been removed and appointed to other parts of the
judiciary.
***
Two of the prosecutors who prepared the Sledgehammer Indictment (disregarding all the
evidence of fabrication) were recently promoted to seats at the Supreme Court of Appeal.
***
The defendants have asked the court several times for the digital images and photos of the
fabricated CDs.
The court has refused. Even though photos of the CDs were leaked to a pro‐government
newspaper (Zaman), these photos have not been given to the defense.
***
The real perpetrators in this case are at large while the officers framed with fake documents
remain in jail.

the Navy Headquarters on 13 December 2002 and 2 January 2003.
One of the officers who appears to have participated is on foreign duty during those dates at the
EUROMARFOR Headquarters (Rome, Italy). His passport records show he didn’t make a single
trip back to Turkey between November 2002 and September 2003.
U.S.A. müzahirPer.doc and müzahirPerEK‐A.doc
The officer who appears to have prepared this document on 13 December 2002 is in training at
the time in the U.S. His passport records show he didn’t make any trips to Turkey between July
2002 and June 2003.
“Ateşe” ek.doc and caner ben_1.doc
The military attaché in Rome who appears to have prepared this document dated 2003
describes his post (both on the letterhead and underneath the letter) as “ateşe.” The proper
spelling in Turkish is “ataşe.”
It is inconceivable that the officer would be unaware of the proper spelling of the position he
occupied.
Moreover, the same document shows an officer on duty at CCMAR Naples. At the time that the
document was prepared, CCMAR Naples did not yet exist. CCMAR Naples started operations
in July 2004.
There are countless similar examples...
A large number of officers are listed with ranks they will fill in later years.
Officers who appear to have prepared certain documents sometimes get wrong:
their own military ranks,
their own titles,
and even their own names!
15 How is it possible for fabricated documents to be found in
the Naval Command?
It is not news that there are moles in the military who have access to secret documents.
The suitcase that was delivered to Mehmet Baransu contained secret documents and voice
recordings obtained from the 1st Army. These genuine documents and voice recordings had
been secreted out and packaged together with fabricated documents.
This time, the fake CDs and the hard disk (with the additions) were placed in Gölcük under the
raised floor boards among the bags of books and other material already there.
It may be surprising that there are moles with such access. But the Gölcük case doesn’t teach us
anything new that we did not know.
TWO FINAL QUESTIONS........
Why don’t we read about these in the press?
An important segment of the media (dailies such as Taraf, Zaman, Star, and Sabah especially)
has engaged in systematic distortion and disinformation about the evidence in the
Sledgehammer case.
You can find example of this at http://cdogangercekler.wordpress.com/category/medyayalanlari/
(in Turkish).
Other parts of the media have preferred to keep their distance to the case, in view of the
pressure and intimidation to which they have been subjected.
What is the status of the Sledgehammer defendants
at present?
163 of the defendants have been ordered detained by the court.
Apart from two defendants who are being treated in hospitals and several who are on foreign
duty, all of them are in jail at the Silivri or Hasdal prisons.
***
All of the judges who had previously ruled in favor of releasing the defendants over the course
of the Sledgehammer investigation have been removed and appointed to other parts of the
judiciary.
***
Two of the prosecutors who prepared the Sledgehammer Indictment (disregarding all the
evidence of fabrication) were recently promoted to seats at the Supreme Court of Appeal.
***
The defendants have asked the court several times for the digital images and photos of the
fabricated CDs.
The court has refused. Even though photos of the CDs were leaked to a pro‐government
newspaper (Zaman), these photos have not been given to the defense.
***
The real perpetrators in this case are at large while the officers framed with fake documents
remain in jail.

Everything against the US interests must be eliminated/dealt with.
Dit geldt dus voor de patriots uit het Turks leger.
De huidige regering AKP werd opgericht door de VS nadat oud Ankara ambassadeur Morton Abramowitz kennis had gemaakt met Tayyip Erdogan.
Na vele bezoeken van Erdogan aan allerlei hoge instanties in de VS werd hij uiteindelijk de opvolger van Erbakan. Abramowitz zei toen in Turkije: "Ik geef de voorkeur aan Erdogan die een stropdas heeft en meer op een stedelijke lijkt dan Erbakan".
Omdat de VS al na de jaren '80 (coup d'etat) voor zijn nieuwe strategie 'gematigde Islam' had gekozen na jarenlang nationaal socialisme ondersteund te hebben (Grijze Wolven maffia), moesten die dus plaats maken voor de islamofascisten in Turkije, de soennitische puppets.
Iedere instantie, persoon die tegen de VS was, moest uitgeschakeld worden.
De huidige regering is al een paar jaar bezig om het Turks Republiek compleet definitief te veranderen in een Nieuw Turks Republiek in naam van de VS.
Mediapatronen, oppositiepartij leiders, soldaten, journalisten, schrijvers die tegen de huidige regering zijn, worden allemaal hard aangepakt met seksvideo's, geluidsopnames, celstraffen, zeer hoge (fiscale) boetes en worden zelfs vermoord.
En de EU en VS zijn allemaal zeer blij met de omstandigheden in Turkije - waarvoor zij medeverantwoordelijk zijn - omdat divide and conquer politiek strategisch goed van pas komt in het Midden-Oosten en dus ook in Turkije.
Daarvoor hebben ze dus die soennitische puppet leiders nodig die het schapenvolk kan leiden door het geloof - in dit geval de Islam - als politiek middel te gebruiken.
De krant (Taraf) die alle Turkse wikileaks documenten mag publiceren, wordt gesponsord door de cia. Alle disinfo komt van hen en een van hun zogenaamde schrijvers (Baransu) kreeg dus een babage vol documenten afkomstig van het leger. Hij heeft ze dus gekregen van de mollen uit het Turks Leger en Turkse Veiligheidsdiensten, de Gulenisten.
Daarin hebben ze ook valse documenten en zelf gecreëerde cd's en dergelijke tussen gezet.
Nu bewezen is dat er geknoeid is met die cd's en documenten, moeten de rechters eigenlijk iedereen vrijlaten. Maar omdat de wetgeving en uitvoering (compleet rechtssyteem) in handen van die islamofacisten zijn, kan er geen sprake meer zijn van een eerlijk proces.
Kort gezegd, er is een jacht gaande op de 'patriots' in Turkije, de Mustafa Kemal Ataturk aanhangers. Zij die voor een seculair republiek zijn, moskee gescheiden van de staat.
Zij die een onafhankelijk welvarend land willen, waarin iedereen gelijk is aan elkaar, iedereen gelijke kansen heeft. Waarin iedereen de gelegenheid wordt geboden om een opleiding te volgen en later aan een baan kan komen zonder al dat gebedel.
Iedereen roept dat de economie van Turkije steeds begint te groeien. Maar niets is waar: De rijken worden nog rijker en de armen worden armer.
Werkloosheidspercentage schommelt ongeveer tussen de 12% en 17%(werkloosheidspercentage Nederland is 5%! en dat is al heel hoog).
Minimumloon in Turkije is echt minimum! Netto onder de 300 euro.
Volgens statistieken is het armoede aantal 12.000.715(in werkelijkheid 17 miljoen) met een stijging van 815.000 t.o.v. 2009.
Staatsschuld bedroeg maar liefst 306 miljard dollar in 2010!!!
Op dit moment is Turkije zogenaamd hard op weg een democratische natie te worden volgens sommigen, maar in feite is het gewoon een één of ander 'modern' Afrikaans land.

The truth was in here.
Turkije is een belangrijke schakel, mede door zijn strategische ligging in het Midden-Oosten.
Daarom heeft de Turkse regering samen met de pro-Israel en pro-navo generalen een belangrijke rol in de creatie van die New World Order.
De Sledgehammer (Balyoz) zaak is een initiatief van de cia ( net zoals Ergenekon zaak) in samenwerking met de Turkse inlichtingendiensten en Turkse Gladio, de Gulenisten (de Fetullah Gulen sekte, voor meer informatie zie Dossier Fetullah Gulen, Leefbaar Rotterdam: http://www.leefbaarrotterdam.nl/newdocs/gulen.pdf).
Met als doel het Turks Leger(Marine, Landmacht, Luchtmacht) in kwaad daglicht te brengen en zo hun reputatie nog meer te verslechteren. Zodat zij, de islamofacisten nog populairder worden door de slachtofferrol te gaan spelen:"Kijk mensen, dit Leger wil ons dood hebben, zij gaan een coup plegen!". A State of fear noemen ze dat.
De high ranked generalen zijn altijd pro-Israel en pro-navo geweest. Zonder hun toestemming had de huidige regering nooit aan deze zaken kunnen beginnen.
De Kemalistische onder-officieren, officieren, kolonels etc worden één voor één aangepakt zodat ze niet meer in de toekomst hogerop kunnen komen nadat ze in verband zijn gebracht met al die vermeende coups.
Zoals ik al eerder had geschreven: Everyone and everything that is against the US interests must be eliminated/ dealt with.

Maar TS, wat is de bedoeling van al deze links. Wat verwacht je van de users hier?
Veel mensen hebben geen idee wat er zich allemaal afspeelt daar in Turkije.
De toekomst van Turkije ziet er niet zo rooskleurig uit als men schetst hier in Nederland en in de rest van Europa.
De komende dagen zal ik het nog meer hebben over de huidige situatie in Turkije.
Iedereen roept dat de economie van Turkije steeds begint te groeien. Maar niets is waar: De rijken worden nog rijker en de armen worden armer.

Vreemd genoeg prijst de Turkse en Europese media juist Turkije vanwege zijn zogenaamde economische groei.
Nou, er is natuurlijk ook economische groei, al merken de laagstbetaalden daar natuurlijk het minste van he. Dat is altijd zo. Die zitten altijd in het hoekje waar de klappen vallen. Is nooit anders geweest en zal ook nooit anders worden ben ik bang.quote:

Echt belangrijke videobeelden worden niet vrijgegeven, maar gebruikt als chantagemiddel tegen het leger, oppositieleiders, schrijvers,journalisten, acteurs en zelfs tegen hun eigen mannen etc.
Het zijn door de cia opgeleide Turkse gladio leden. Vooral oude 'grijze wolven' die overgestapt zijn naar de Fetullah Gulen sekte. Het leger, politie en geheime inlichtingsdiensten zijn geïnfiltreerd door die sekteleden. ( meer info over die sekte: deel1 en deel 2).
Gewone mensen in Turkije durven niet meer via de telefoon te spreken met naasten/geliefden.
Zelfs vrijen doen ze nu onder dekens!

Operation Turkey - Fighting the censorship taking place in Turkey
Merhaba Türkiye,
Over the last few years, we have seen how the Turkish government has tightened its grip on the internet. It has blocked thousands of websites and blogs while abusive legal proceedings against online journalists persist. The government now wants to impose a new filtering system on the 22nd of August that will make it possible to keep records of all the people's internet activity. Though it remains opaque why and how the system will be put in place, it is clear that the government is taking censorship to the next level.
These acts are inexcusable. Accessing and participating in the free flow of information is a basic human right. Anonymous will not stand by while the Turkish government violates this right. We will bring our support to circumvent censorship and retaliate against organizations imposing censorship.
Hundreds of thousands of people protested against internet censorship decisions but AKP government ignored the voice of the people and violently oppressed the protesters.
We call on all internet citizens to support freedom of speech by pushing the Turkish government to stop these foolish policies. The free flow of information won’t be stopped. Sharing of knowledge won’t be stopped. It is time to fight for our rights and stand up for what we believe in.

Q-1 Image (jpg) of a Compact Disc (CD-Rom), TDK CD-R74, lettered C-11, and depicting the questioned text 'Or.K.na'. (Received as jpg image attachment to email)
Q-2 Image (jpg) of a Compact Disc (CD-Rom), TDK CD-R74, lettered C-17, and depicting the questioned text 'K.ozel'. (Received as jpg image attachment to email)
K-1(1-13) Submitted notebook pages (office machine copies) depicting hand printed entries, further identified by the following exhibit/numerical designations:
K-1-1: 1502 K-1-2: 1503 K-1-3: 1504
K-1-4: 1506 K-1-5: 1510 K-1-6: 1511

K-1-10:1517 K-1-11:1518 K-1-12:1519
K-1-13:1520
PROBLEM
Determine whether or not the questioned 'Or.K.na' and 'K.ozel' entries on Exhibits Q-1 and Q-2, respectively, originated from the writer(s) of Exhibit K-1(1-13).
Determine whether or not the questioned 'Or.K.na' text reflected on Exhibit Q-1 and the 'K.ozel' text reflected on Exhibit Q-2 were handwritten or machine produced.
EXAMINATION FINDINGS
Examinations of the questioned text on Exhibits Q-1 and Q-2 revealed features and characteristics of a blue ink writing instrument. The discernible characteristics within images of the questioned text are inconsistent with inkjet and laser (toner) technology.
Examinations and inter-comparisons of the voluminous text within Exhibit K-1 were conducted to assess feature characteristics and variances. Notable similarities in form and structure are evident between the questioned text on Exhibits Q-1 and Q-2, and the submitted writings within Exhibit K-1.
Utilizing industry standard measurements for CD-Rom discs (4.72" in diameter) the CD images depicted in Exhibits Q-1 and Q-2 were normalized to scale. The absolute size of the comparable letters on Exhibits Q-1/Q-2 and K-1 are nearly identical when office machine copy variables are considered. Based on unusually precise (near 1:1) similarity in detail evident between text on Exhibits K-1 and Q-1/Q-2, additional examinations and comparisons were warranted. Side by side and superimposition comparisons were conducted digitally between letters/letter combinations on Exhibits K-1 and Q-1 and Q-2. Relatively precise superimposition of all facets of specific letter combinations exist between hand printed text on Exhibit K-1 and that within the questioned hand printed entries on Exhibits Q-1 and Q-2.
Examinations and comparisons of the questioned text reflected in the images of Exhibits Q-1 and Q-2, with respect to the line quality of the writing and discernible ink characteristic, were conducted. The questioned text depicted on Exhibits Q-1 and Q-2 bear characteristics of a writing instrument utilizing a low viscosity blue ink and depicting line characteristics which are consistent with both handwritten and autopen (‘signature’ machine) production.
CONCLUSION
It is highly probable the questioned ‘Or. K.na’ and ‘K.ozel’ entries were created from Exhibit K-1 utilizing the following process or variation of this process:
•Letters and letter combinations within the notebook pages designated K-1(1, 2 and 5) were selected for replication.
•The lettering selected was photographed or digitally imaged.
•The lettering was cropped and configured to form the entries ‘Or.K.na’ and ‘K.ozel’.
•From the ‘Or.K.na’ and ‘K.ozel’ composite images a template (e.g. guide, stencil, matrix) was created for use by a signature machine.
•A signature machine (e.g. autopen) was then used to follow the outline of the template, thereby creating the ‘Or.K.na’ and ‘K.ozel’ entries on the CD-discs depicted in Exhibits Q-1 and Q-2.
The questioned text on Exhibits Q-1/Q-2 bear features and characteristics which have been observed in mechanically produced (e.g. autopen) writings.
REMARKS
If trial or deposition testimony is required in support of these findings and conclusion(s), a minimum of six weeks prior notification is required.
Illustrative images in support of the preceding conclusions are attached.

This should be a mistrial. It’s as simple as that.
That is the conclusion of Claire Berlinski, an American author and journalist based in Istanbul, on the Balyoz/Sledgehammer trial.
Berlinski, who has been following the case, visited the trial in Silivri and her judgment is clear-cut. She considers how the case would be handled in an American (or any impartial) court and imagines the dialogue that would/should take place:
Your honor, this hospital didn’t exist in 2003. We request this trial be dismissed.
Dismissed.
Alas, the trial in Silivri has all the appearances of a sham, staged trial. Over the course of more than thirty court sessions, the defendants and their lawyers have documented countless evidence that points to the coup plans’ fraudulent nature — anachronisms, inconsistencies, fake handwriting – to no avail. The judges evince no interest in any of it. Amazingly (but tellingly), in their cross-examination they have not challenged the defendants on their claim that the coup documents are fabricated. Nor have they even probed these claims by further questioning.
It’s almost as if everyone agrees the case is based on fake evidence. A Berlinski puts it, “no one is even pretending anymore that this is a real trial with real rules.”
Yet the case continues: its scope has been broadened by further arrests – presumably to drag the trial on for even a longer time — and the great majority of the defendants remain in jail.

Caution: Sham trial in process
(The following is taken from Dani Rodrik’s blog.)
A Turkish court accepted a second indictment yesterday in the infamous Sledgehammer case, adding 28 new names to the 195 officers already under indictment (most of whom have been jailed). The new indictment is based on additional (digital) documents, said to reinforce the original charges, which prosecutors have “found” in a naval base and at the home of a retired colonel.
The core allegation remains the same: a group of senior officers prepared an elaborate plot in 2003 to destabilize and topple the newly elected AKP government. The evidence rests on a set of documents (in Word and other electronic formats) detailing the coup preparations and which the prosecutors say were produced by (and for) the coup perpetrators.
None of the documents have signatures or other authenticating features. None have been traced to the computers used by the defendants. Prosecutors say that the metadata – the names and time stamps on the files – prove the documents’ authenticity, even though such metadata can be easily manipulated by altering the system clock and usernames on a computer.
Since the first indictment was produced a year ago, a torrent of evidence has come to light demonstrating beyond any doubt that the Sledgehammer plot is fictional and that the coup documents are fabricated. Most importantly, the documents – both the initial batch and the more recent ones — contain irrefutable anachronisms that prove they were produced not in 2003, as the prosecution maintains, but in 2009 at the earliest.
Documents that appear to have been prepared in 2003 (judging by their metadata) make references to military units, hospitals, NGOs, and companies that did not exist until years later. They name a gunboat that had not yet been commissioned and a license plate that was yet to be issued. They place many individuals at positions they had yet to occupy. One document (also supposedly from 2003) contains the number and exact text of a 2005 amendment to a law, together with the precise date of the amendment!
There are countless such anachronisms and inconsistencies in the Sledgehammer documents. In addition, two forensic reports commissioned by the defendants (one of which is from a U.S. expert) have independently verified that the handwriting on the disputed CDs is most likely the product of mechanically copying individual letters from an original source. The alleged authors of several of the documents have documented that they were posted abroad or on ships with no access to the computers on which they are supposed to have prepared them. The list of problems with the prosecutors’ evidence goes on and on.
Astonishingly, the second indictment is completely silent about all this. There is not a single word about the anachronisms, even though they have been widely discussed in the media and repeatedly brought up by the defendants in court. There is not the slightest effort to account for how information from 2008 or 2009 could have found its way into documents allegedly written in 2003. Even though several forensic reports have spelled out what every teenager already knows, namely that the dates on digital files can be easily altered, prosecutors continue to take the metadata on faith (and as their proof of the coup documents’ authenticity).
To anyone who has closely followed the Sledgehammer and the related Ergenekon trials, none of this would come as a surprise. These trials suffer from gross violations of the rule of law and have all the markings of staged events. Most disturbingly, the cases multiply and broaden (with increasing numbers kept in jail) despite clear evidence that the charges don’t hold water.
The manner in which court sessions unfold is also telling. The Sledgehammer defendants’ repeated documentation of the anachronisms and other inconsistencies of the coup documents has been met by stony silence during cross-examination, remaining unprobed and unchallenged by the prosecutors and judges. The objective seems to ensure the trials go on indefinitely, providing continuing fodder for the government’s and Gulenists’ campaign against their opponents. (For the human toll of the trial, see Claire Berlinski’s excellent account.)
“They pretend to pay us, and we pretend to work.” So went the old joke in the Soviet Union. In today’s Turkey, prosecutors pretend to investigate crimes, courts pretend to dispense justice, and the AKP government pretends to respect judiciary independence. Since it is now military officers who are in the dock, many commentators think all this makes Turkey more democratic.
