Several hundred terrorist sympathizers stormed a military base where U.S. troops were housed in Turkey Sunday, cause Turkish police to use tear gas and a water cannon to diffuse the potentially violent crowd just ahead of a visit by Secretary of State Antony Blinken, according to Reuters.

The incident reportedly occurred outside the Incirlik Air Base in Southern Turkey. The base has, for several years, been used as a staging base for the fight against ISIS in Iraq and Syria. U.S. troops are housed at the base, as well as troops of other nationalities who are also supporting the fight against ISIS.

The protests were organized by the IHH Humanitarian Relief Foundation. The IHH pretends to be a humanitarian organization, but it has been credibly accused of funding the terrorist organization Hamas, and has been banned from entering Israel since 2008 on that basis. The IHH was a key player in the Gaza flotilla incident.

According to Reuters, the terrorist sympathizers at the "protest" were seen "hurling plastic chairs, rocks, and other items at police, who fired smoke bombs at crowds." The "protesters" were reportedly carrying Turkish and Palestinian flags.

Representatives from IHH addressed the crowd and attempted to dissuade them from throwing things at the police, assuring the crowd that the police would be fighting alongside Hamas terrorists if they were allowed, saying, "Friends, it is wrong to throw rocks or do similar things because both the police and soldiers would want to go to Gaza and fight and they will go when the time comes."

Ultimately the crowd was dispersed when IHH organizers called it off due to conflicts with the police.

United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken is scheduled to visit Sunday as part of a series of talks with Middle East leaders regarding Israel's efforts to combat Hamas terrorism. No United States troops were reportedly injured during the incident.

Misinformation is driving this mania. You have leftwing panicmongers like MSNBC’s O’Donnell predicting ‘millions’ will die if churches are ‘packed’ on Easter. Inaccurate Virus Models Are Panicking Officials Into Ill-Advised Lockdowns How a handful of Democratic activists created alarming, but bogus data sets to scare local and state officials into making rash, economy-killing mandates. By Madeline Osburn, The Federalist, March 25, 2020 As U.S. state and local officials halt the economy and quarantine their communities over the Wuhan virus crisis, one would hope our leaders were making such major decisions based on well-sourced data and statistical analysis. That is not the case. A scan of statements made by media, state governors, local leaders, county judges, and more show many relying on the same source, an online mapping tool called  COVID Act Now.  The website says it is “built to enable political leaders to quickly make decisions in their Coronavirus response i...

Certain people made billions from 9/11, it looks like many more bosses were given a heads-up just before Covid-19 exploded! Why Did Hundreds Of CEOs Resign Just Before The World Started Going Absolutely Crazy? In the months prior to the most ferocious stock market crash in history and the eruption of the biggest public health crisis of our generation, we witnessed the biggest exodus of corporate CEOs that we have ever seen. And as you will see below, corporate insiders also sold off billions of dollars worth of shares in their own companies just before the stock market imploded. In life, timing can be everything, and sometimes people simply get lucky. But it does seem odd that so many among the corporate elite would be so exceedingly “lucky” all at the same time? One financial publication is using the phrase “the great CEO exodus” to describe the phenomenon that we have been witnessing. It all started last year when chief executives started resigning in numbers, unlike anything th...
