The organization aims to create a monopoly in all areas of life such as social, political, legal, security and business.
All citizens in Turkey have an idea of what the Gulenist Terrorist Group (FETÖ) is. However in other countries, there is still a tendency to see FETÖ as a "moderate Islamic" organization. FETÖ itself is aware of this deficiency, which plays the "victim" game, claiming basic freedoms.
For this reason, FETÖ, which took root in Turkey since the 1970s, is trying to infiltrate various countries and implement its "dominant power" agenda, especially in the United States. While Turkish citizens cannot travel to the US, and have the highest visa denial rate, FETÖ members have green card visas.
As with the process followed by members of the Kurdish Communist Party in Europe, FETÖ members quickly became US citizens. They put their pictures on the websites of the companies and institutions that employ them, wearing Americanized clothes and smiling.
In fact, the "Americanized" FETÖ has started the process of invading the USA from the inside, through decades of "infiltration", just like they did in Turkey. For this reason, it would be useful to remind our American friends of some facts.
FETÖ's presence and threat to the US is serious, and the scenarios of what could happen between now and the next few decades are truly frightening. Remembering the Turkish proverb "Feed the crow, but later it will peck out its eyes!", FETÖ has started implementing its plan to bring the USA under control.
On the other hand, FETÖ's "Action Plan for America" is able to affect not only the United States, but all other countries. For this reason, it is necessary that in this analysis the explanations are simple and understandable, especially for American citizens.
It is important that everyone understands the ultimate goal of FETÖ as an organization. Its doctrine, compiled by Fetullah Gülen, has nothing to do with Islam or any other religion. The doctrine, which is built on the idea of "Mahdism", and is dominated by the concepts that Gülen has built with his logic. These concepts "Service, Help (through grants), Depth, Guidance" - are imposed on members for further persuasion, and which are in fact mere means to the ultimate goal of the organization.
In other words, they are references "constructed" solely to motivate and control the members of the organization. The real goal is clear: "to seize power and dominate everyone". In fact, the USA is the most suitable country to realize this goal.
The organization aims to create a monopoly in all areas of life such as social, political, legal, security and business. For this purpose, it creates associations of interest and forms chains of dependence. Under this background, the organization creates a "parallel universe" by creating a control mechanism with loyal members of the organization called "elder brothers or sisters".
So, the extensions of the organization are guided by invisible and secret "hands" in the background, which Gülen compares to "air". Thus, when faced with unintended consequences, the organization gains the privilege of "denial." On the other hand, image building through "charity work" is never neglected.
The creation of human resources is the most important area of these efforts. For this purpose, the organization establishes educational institutions introducing robotic but qualified individuals into the labor market. It builds individuals who have "given their minds to the organization", and prepares them for very important positions in the public and private sectors.
In fact, FETÖ successfully exploits this weakness in countries that have problems in the education system. It is interesting that the most prominent country with a weak education system is the USA, because there education is expensive and it is not possible for the poor to have access to the "privilege" of private schools.
Given the fact that universities are expensive, in the US there is an incredible chain of opportunities for FETÖ. Admission of students to universities is not based on centralized placement, but is under the responsibility of admissions committees.
The acceptance of interns, which is of great importance for the CV, is related to the funding received and the initiative of the faculty members. FETÖ members, who obtained residence permits under the pretext of "victimization" or became US citizens, are not limited to anti-Turkish campaigns in universities and think tanks.
At the same time, they are accepting "students", academics and people mixed with the philosophy of FETÖ, for positions in the US as students, interns or employees. At this point, it would be helpful to provide some figures for FETÖ educational institutions in the US. The organization has 140 schools in the US with about 60,000 students in total. Its annual revenue is over 500 million dollars. These numbers should mean something to our American friends. So every year, FETÖ increases its income from education and expands its capacities in various sectors, introducing into the American labor market more than 60,000 individuals brainwashed with its ideology.
The organization conducts its educational efforts in parallel with another effort: the radiography of the state and private sectors, the identification of the most vital positions, the observation of institutional weaknesses, and the training of the workforce needed for those positions in FETÖ schools.
Once a member of the organization settles into a position, he or she provides referrals to other members of the organization to expand it. So as a product of the US education system, Americans trained by FETÖ are "infiltrating" US companies, state governments, political parties, educational institutions or think tanks.
Unlike FETÖ's activities in African or Central Asian countries, the organization is approaching the conquest of a superpower from within. It is worth remembering that Russia, recognizing this fact, has banned FETÖ by law.
Of course, all these processes must be carried out in accordance with the principle of "confidentiality" of this organization.
FETÖ, which has around 5,000 companies worldwide, follows a strategy of monopolization, controlling trade in all countries where it is active. In this way, it has become a major power, and with the consolidation of its financial structure, it has become a group to be "considered" by companies and governments.
As it multiplies the unfair profits with personnel who have infiltrated the banking and financial sector, after a while it becomes a structure that shapes the market. In other words, commercial companies cannot survive without paying tribute to the organization in the form of "grants".
It remains to be seen how much of a threat FETÖ poses to the US, which has a large market. FETÖ's acquisition of shares of major American companies and becoming a trading power may be a turning point for the Americans.
The organization follows the strategy of "obeying the strong and dominating the weak". In this context, lobbying efforts and political donations should be monitored. It should be investigated which senator received how much money from FETÖ during the election campaigns.
Otherwise, in the US Senate we can see senators who "raise their hands" for FETÖ not only against Turkey, but also for global issues. Of course, it is possible for FETÖ members who have obtained US citizenship to enter politics and become senators for both Democrats and Republicans.
Furthermore, its members do not necessarily have to be of Turkish origin. Due to the secretive structure of the organization, the appointment of an "imam" by FETÖ for every senator is a fact that the American public will hardly notice.
FETÖ is still consolidating in the US, and is penetrating every aspect of life there. Americans should consider the bitter experience of Turkey. FETÖ, or the Gülenists, by whatever name, pose an existential threat to the US.
