Quoting alameda: "To this day, Brookings is commonly, and inaccurately, dubbed "liberal" (e.g., Baltimore Sun, 8/9/98; Cincinnati Enquirer, 7/30/98; Dallas Morning News, 7/1/98; AP,
5/29/98). CBS News correspondent Bernard Goldberg even publicly chastised one of his colleagues for not tagging Brookings as "liberal" in his reporting (Wall Street Journal op-ed, 2/13/96). It's called "centrist" almost as often, but never "conservative," though that label would be more accurate than "liberal."
In fact, much of Brookings' top brass has come from Republican administrations. Its current president, Michael Armacost, was an undersecretary of state for the Reagan administration and ambassador to Japan under Bush. Brookings' president from 1977 to 1995, Bruce MacLaury, spent most of his career in the Federal Reserve, with a stint in the Nixon Treasury Department."
Brookings
I find it interesting to learn more about just who are behind the influence making organizations. Here's more:
Brookings Institution |
A hunch tells me that both Brookings and Routledge may be institutions with Judaic tendencies/connections. I may be wrong.
Anyone know better about the subject?

I don't know anything about that, but I've been trying to find out just who Omer Taspinar is. All I can find out about him is he's written a lot of articles. Nothing on where he was born, what schools he went to other than:
Omer Taspinar
Ph.D. Professorial Lecturer, Fellow at the Brookings Institution
"Dr. Omer Taspinar is the Co-Director of the US-Turkey project at the Brookings Institution and an adjunct professor at the Johns Hopkins University, School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS). He completed his doctorate studies on Political Islam and Kurdish nationalism in Turkey at the European Studies Department of SAIS, Johns Hopkins University in 2001."

I wonder why there is nothing else. Things like where he did his undergraduate work, where he was born.....?

So all the Turkish guys living, working, or studying in USA are usual suspects in your eyes. Then, why every year thousands of Turks apply for Green Card. Does that mean "we hate America but we want to live there"
I am sorry but this is called bigotry. I recommend you to read the article first and discuss its content rather than creating funny conspiracy theories about the author

I agree with you somewhat. Of cource all Turkish guys are not part of the "hate America..or whatever croud, however I don't think questioning the credentials of a policy maker is comspiracy theory, not in my opinion anyway. I want to know the background of the person who is in such an influential position.

Your theory is the product of a peanut brain (the nice kid syndrome is over).
I do not categorize and label people in blunt groups. I evaluate them one by one, according to their relative merits.
I can not discuss and try to disprove every stupid article, written by every half cooked dishonest academic.

It is nice to hear that you have decided to be yourself.

From all these writings I understood that ZAMAN is a newspaper financed by ultra-islamic people who tries to re-establish islamic state in Turkey. These same people are also supported by missionaires who wanted to convert devoted muslims to Christianity.
Aaaah, I forgot that these ultra-islamic nespaper has at least one Christian- armenian writer to verify this link. (Although this poor guy described himsef as Turk)
Is that all or did I miss something?
Of course all these are designed by the great evil USA.

you must do crossword puzzles?  But on another note, it is rather odd, don't you think that there is so little information on just who he is?
His way with words is excellent, I must admit.
I probably would not have noticed this pecularity, had AlphaF not peeked my curiosity.
