I am a tour director and currently on tour in Turkey, which is the crossroads between Europe and Asia and borders some serious countries like Iran and Iraq.
I have seen incredible evidence this week of the expansion and growth of Turkey. They are jockeying to become a member of the EU right now.
There is evidence of unprecedented growth throughout the country: new apartment buildings, skyscrapers, money everywhere.... a new class of wealthy, the building of American five star hotels (I am right now staying at the Hilton which five years ago did not exist).
The INTERESTING part of the trip so far was running into a good old boy from Texas (now from Atlanta) who comes from a very connected and wealthy family. He owns an architectural firm and he was here in Turkey to discuss designing a new airport in Istanbul with Turkish contractors.
Istanbul already has two airports, but this man (who had had a few beers) was in negotiations to design a new airport the size of Atlanta's airport, which is the busiest (and one of the largest) airports in the world.
So, we were talking at the bar (the best place to glean new information) and he is telling me he has spent his whole life building airports (or remodeling them) and that he can see no new reason for building a THIRD airport in Istanbul. Especially one the size of Atlanta's airport.
He went on and on about how he didn't understand the reasoning or the feasibility of it, but yet, that's what is in the works. His firm has apparently been awarded the contract.
He asked a friend of mine (who is also an architect in Turkey) why they were building a 3rd airport in Istanbul (which clearly isn't needed at THIS time) and we all sat and pondered the possibilities.
Of course, somewhere in the conversation I brought up the NWO and they were all aware of the term and the concept, which surprised me further. Since Turkey is a consummate friend of the US and Turkey seems to be doing very well (confirmed by a friend who has dual citizenship here and is an archaeologist and a professor of ancient civilizations at an American University), I gathered this new-found prosperity was rather puzzling to some--even people who spend a lot of time here and are American citizens.
This guy from Atlanta is a low information type of guy--not the brightest bulb in the shack, if you know what I mean. So he spilled lots of beans.
I asked...." Why do YOU think they want to build a new, unneeded airport in Turkey?" and he honestly said:
"They won't tell me, even when I tell them the numbers that we run. Something is going on--based on some future they are predicting that I am not aware of. "
His thought is that the Middle East will falter, and that there is no reason to build another airport here.
Remember that Turkey borders Iran, Iraq, Syria, etc.
There is definitely something up here in Turkey.
I will be happy to expand on that statement further if you'd like.

Western companies are just milking Turkey same as they did with Dubai and Qatar and left them with a lot of useless luxury projects with huge bills to pay. ..With all do respect,,puppet regimes are very easily manipulated by tptb.

Lately Turkey is been trying hard to prove its complete loyalty to the west,and this bid might as well be a part of the trend.
You are right. However I do know they have been working with UN as well so I used UN in my comments

He said EU, not UN.
Unless I missed it.
