AND JUST WHERE IN THE WORLD ARE THE TURKS?


by SAMUEL A. WEEMS

FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS the Armenian National Committee of America has been begging the Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee of the United States Postal Service to issue a United States stamp to mark the Armenian self-invented genocide of 1915. And just where in the world have the Turks been during these past two years? They said nothing and were and are NOWHERE to be found!

In December, 2000 the Armenian National Committee of America issued an e-mail Action Alert stating: "The American response to the Armenian Genocide marked the entry of the United States on the world stage as a leading defender of international justice and human rights. And yet, the U.S. Postal Service has never issued a stamp on the Armenian Genocide."

The Armenian Action alert told the Armenians throughout the United States "What You Can Do." The following is how the Armenian campaign is targeting the United States Postal Service.

"Ask the citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee to recommend a stamp on the U.S. Response to the Armenian Genocide. Send correspondence to the:

"Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee c/o Stamp Management United States Postal Service
475 L'Enfant Plaza S.W.,
Room 4474
E Washington, D.C. 20260-2437

"Dear Committee Members:

"As an American who values the vital role of our nation in advancing justice and human rights around the world, I am writing to urge the creation of a postage stamp on the American response to the Armenian Genocide.

"Our response, as a nation, to the Armenian Genocide marked the entry of the United States on the world stage as a leading defender on international justice and human rights."

 


The Armenians then go on to praise President Woodrow Wilson, diplomats and Christian organizations that helped the Armenians. I can't believe the Armenians are saying they "value the vital role of our nation in advancing justice and human rights around the world." Just think--these same Armenians have one of the world's worst justice and human rights abuse records anywhere, as shown in the most recent "US State Department Report on Armenia."

The apogee of all bogus statements is the following: "The American response to the Armenian Genocide marked the entry of the United States on the world stage as a defender of international justice and human rights." Such a statement is a bald faced lie! Armenia wasn't the reason the United States became involved with "international justice and human rights." America has never recognized the fake Armenian claims of genocide in 1915! In fact, the United States never went to war against the Ottoman Empire government in 1915, or ever for that matter. This statement is typical of the way the Armenians rewrite true history to fit their false campaigns seeking Christian world handouts. Nothing more--nothing less!

I am stupefied, and I am wondering where in the world are the Turks? What is the Turkish government doing? Where in heaven's name is the Turkish Foreign Service? No one seems to be doing a darn thing in defending truth and the Turkish interest. If the Armenians get their unopposed way, Turks will be licking those postage stamps commemorating the so-called Armenian genocide each and every time they mail a letter within the United States and abroad and thus unwillingly advertise the very thing they are disgusted about.

As an American who appreciates the Turks' support and friendship for the United States throughout the entire Cold War, I feel it is incumbent upon myself, a Scottish American citizen, to protest vehemently this Armenian outrage concerning their campaign for the above-mentioned Armenian-Genocide stamp. It saddens me to see the Turks, sitting back and doing nothing. Time is running out. This is not a joke and is quite serious. The Turks have to do something, and it had better be soon!

With these thoughts in mind, I am writing my letter to the Postal Service today and I am sending along a copy of my book ARMENIA--SECRETS OF A "CHRISTIAN" TERRORIST STATE. I shall object to this Armenian "Help Stamp Out Genocide Denial" campaign. This American not only denies that such genocide took place--I wrote a book that proves it!

THE TURKISH-AMERICAN COMMUNITY MUST WAKE UP FROM THEIR SLUMBER

There is no valid excuse for dozing off while the Armenians are making hay. Why in the world would the Turkish-American community not care? To sit back two full years and do nothing while the Armenians are laboring day and night to force the United States of America to issue a postage stamp based on totally fraudulent claims of genocide and making the United States government advertise this bogus affair will remain a mystery to me. I am declaring to every Turk who loves his homeland or to every Turkish-American who is ready to help his country of origin, to wake up to reality and rid himself or herself of this corrosive apathy, and of this masochistic sense of self-destruction.

Look at what the Armenians are saying: "Americans can be extremely proud of the efforts by leaders such as President Woodrow Wilson, diplomats such as Ambassador Henry Morgenthau" and of other Christians... On the one hand they are praising President Wilson and on the other hand they ignore the fact they had attacked him viciously after World War I because he didn't do enough to send 70,000 US troops into harms way just to give a minuscule self-anointed "Christian" Armenia Muslim lands for free. Had President Wilson and the United States Senate made a 'faux-pas' and spent almost a billion US tax dollars in terms of 1920 rates, and sent an American Army to take away these lands which belonged to someone else, they would have committed the first "Vietnam" of the twentieth century. They would have gotten the United States involved in a tragedy of gargantuan proportions--all because the Armenians wanted something for nothing!

By attacking President Wilson, the U.S. Senate and American Christians in 1920, these very Armenians showed their true colors. Because the U.S. Senate refuses to accommodate them by offering them Muslim lands on a silver platter, they began to unleash a dirty campaign against them. These same Armenians even attacked the Christians of America because even though they had received from them more than $40 million US dollars, they whined and complained that that amount was not enough. There is a double standard here. The Armenians ignore their intrigues and their double-dealings of the past and they are bragging today about these same Americans they had attacked so vociferously in the 1920s.

 


Since Turkish Americans don't seem to care if they lick stamps which accuse their forefathers of mass murder--as an American who cares about them, I must speak out on their behalf until I wake them up and have them join me in winning this cause. My reason is two fold: the first one is to prove that the Armenian claims of genocide is totally fabricated, just to fool gullible Americans, and the second one is to tell the whoever is willing to listen to me that as an American taxpayer I have had it with freeloading Armenians. I object to the Armenian campaigns they conduct including this one in order to secure even more free handouts from my government, from my fellow religionists and the sum total of all the Christian churches of the United States of America.

Turks must not allow the Armenians to go unchallenged in their actions which are clearly and utterly false, here in the United States. You must do a lot to defend the honor your great nation. You must not buckle under to their intrigues. The Armenians here in the United States are nothing more than an extension of the colony Armenia sent to our shores in 1918 to fleece and deceive Americans of their hard-earned tax dollars. Even though we hear and witness phenomenal Turkish-American success stories here in America, and Turks should be proud of that fact, I would say that there are too many apathetic Turks who may read this and agree, and still do nothing. No person of Turkish descent should find himself or herself in that dubious unpleasant category. No true-blooded Turk can be proud of their personal success here in America if they find no reason to be proud of defending their great nation--Turkey!

If a non-Turk American, like me, can research and find such unbelievable data so destructive for the Turks' and Turkey's vital interests, I ask myself why in the world don't the Turks do such research and realize that time is running out for their action and response?

Not one of the many components of the Turkish-American organizations should be exempted from this duty. ATAA, FTAA, TURKISH FORUM and all other assemblies of Turkish-American organizations must participate in this action drive. Not only the Turkish Americans but the Turks that live outside the US also must wake up and find ways to "Stamp Out The Armenian Stamp Scam". Let us all work together and deny these hapless Armenians the enjoyment that they one day may have if we miss the proverbial "boat."

THE PURPOSE OF TALL ARMENIAN TALE (TAT)
...Is to expose the mythological “Armenian genocide,” from the years 1915-16. A wartime tragedy involving the losses of so many has been turned into a politicized story of “exclusive victimhood,” and because of the prevailing prejudice against Turks, along with Turkish indifference, those in the world, particularly in the West, have been quick to accept these terribly defamatory claims involving the worst crime against humanity. Few stop to investigate below the surface that those regarded as the innocent victims, the Armenians, while seeking to establish an independent state, have been the ones to commit systematic ethnic cleansing against those who did not fit into their racial/religious ideal: Muslims, Jews, and even fellow Armenians who had converted to Islam. Criminals as Dro, Antranik, Keri, Armen Garo and Soghoman Tehlirian (the assassin of Talat Pasha, one of the three Young Turk leaders, along with Enver and Jemal) contributed toward the deaths (via massacres, atrocities, and forced deportation) of countless innocents, numbering over half a million. What determines genocide is not the number of casualties or the cruelty of the persecutions, but the intent to destroy a group, the members of which are guilty of nothing beyond being members of that group. The Armenians suffered their fate of resettlement not for their ethnicity, having co-existed and prospered in the Ottoman Empire for centuries, but because they rebelled against their dying Ottoman nation during WWI (World War I); a rebellion that even their leaders of the period, such as Boghos Nubar and Hovhannes Katchaznouni, have admitted. Yet the hypocritical world rarely bothers to look beneath the surface, not only because of anti-Turkish prejudice, but because of Armenian wealth and intimidation tactics. As a result, these libelous lies, sometimes belonging in the category of “genocide studies,” have become part of the school curricula of many regions. Armenian scholars such as Vahakn Dadrian, Peter Balakian, Richard Hovannisian, Dennis Papazian and Levon Marashlian have been known to dishonestly present only one side of their story, as long as their genocide becomes affirmed. They have enlisted the help of "genocide scholars," such as Roger Smith, Robert Melson, Samantha Power, and Israel Charny… and particularly  those of Turkish extraction, such as Taner Akcam and Fatma Muge Gocek, who justify their alliance with those who actively work to harm the interests of their native country, with the claim that such efforts will help make Turkey more" democratic." On the other side of this coin are genuine scholars who consider all the relevant data, as true scholars have a duty to do, such as Justin McCarthy, Bernard Lewis, Heath Lowry, Erich Feigl and Guenter Lewy. The unscrupulous genocide industry, not having the facts on its side, makes a practice of attacking the messenger instead of the message, vilifying these professors as “deniers” and "agents of the Turkish government." The truth means so little to the pro-genocide believers, some even resort to the forgeries of the Naim-Andonian telegrams or sources  based on false evidence, as Franz Werfel’s The Forty Days of Musa Dagh. Naturally, there is no end to the hearsay "evidence" of the prejudiced pro-Christian people from the period, including missionaries and Near East Relief representatives, Arnold Toynbee, Lord Bryce, Lloyd George, Woodrow Wilson, Theodore Roosevelt, and so many others. When the rare Westerner opted to look at the issues objectively, such as Admirals Mark Bristol and Colby Chester, they were quick to be branded as “Turcophiles” by the propagandists. The sad thing is, even those who don’t consider themselves as bigots are quick to accept the deceptive claims of Armenian propaganda, because deep down people feel the Turks are natural killers and during times when Turks were victims, they do not rate as equal and deserving human beings. This is the main reason why the myth of this genocide has become the common wisdom.
