“Fi” tv series: An online success

Fi series is the main major online-just Turkish series with an exceptionally popular cast. Kurulus Osman in view of Azra Kohen's blockbuster Fi - Çi - Pi (Phi - Chi - Pi) novel set of three. The main thing about Fi television series is that the series communicated online from web based television administration PuHutv.com and indeed, it is free. Fi Cast-Ozan Güven-Mehmet Günsur Serenay Sarıkaya - Berrak Tüzünataç - Özge Özpirinççi Fi series has an incredible cast, and its spending plan is immense. Be that as it may, you might inquire as to why such a series didn't communicate by significant TV stations? The explanation is its story, the series in light of adoration, enthusiasm, sensuality and sexuality which should be displayed with express intimate moments. No television slot in Turkey can communicate such express scenes on account of the guidelines of the state organization "Radio and Television Supreme Council". The Internet has the opportunity, thus Fi series getting a charge out of it. The story is about Can Manay (played by Ozan Güven) who is an extremely well known clinician with a dim foundation. Can Manay has a unique interest in ladies, and his fixation is to have whoever he needs, and he had them until Can Manay saw Duru. Duru (played by Serenay Sarıkaya) in Fi series Duru (played by Serenay Sarıkaya - bio) is a youthful artist concentrating in the foundation and she has an attractive sweetheart Deniz (played by Mehmet Günsur). Deniz Played by Mehmet Günsur Can Manay is anything but a decent person, it's an abhorred figure he, in all honesty, is a poop hole. Subsequent to meeting with Duru Can Manay becomes fixated on Duru and he has a go at all that to break her relationship with Deniz and have her. Then again, Can Manay has an exceptionally dim foundation and a long time back he was shipped off a psychological clinic for a considerable length of time. A youthful and lovely columnist Özge unintentionally finds this dull mystery about Can Manay yet she was unable to squeeze this embarrassment due to Can Manay's distinction.

Can Manay played by Ozan Güven in the series of Phi This heartfelt and spine chiller series had an extraordinary achievement and every episode watched by 10 million perspectives by and large. This is a gigantic number for an internet web based series. This gigantic rating was the aftereffect of the popular cast, great acting and obviously most-talked simulated intercourses. Duru (Serenay Sarıkaya) and Özge (Berrak Tüzünataç) Last seven day stretch of January 2017, the makers had reported that the series will end soon, and there will be 3 additional episodes in season 2. The purpose for this choice was the distinction in assessment between the essayist Azra Kohen and the makers. You might watch the series on https://puhutv.com/fi-detay (in Turkish) for nothing.

BY JOSHUA POLANSKI FEATURED FILM STREAMING SCENE

Ashes — Erdem Tepegöz

February 12, 2024

That hunk in the romance novel you’re reading — what if he was real and ready to mingle? That’s the entertaining and confident premise of Ashes, the newest film from experienced Turkish director Erdem Tepegöz. A pretty, married woman reads a smutty book and scopes out the patisserie where the hot lead — he even has a neck tattoo! — in the spicy book spends his time when he’s not in his carpentry shop. The book’s mysterious author promises that “M” changes the lives of everyone he touches. The shop is real and she, Gökçe (Funda Eryigit), quickly finds out that the book blurs fiction and reality. Her book boyfriend becomes her illicit (and explicit) amour fou in an affair she doesn’t even bother to cover up. Metin Ali (Alperen Duymaz) is the “real” person behind “M” found in Kül (or Ashes), the book in question having been written by a former lover. But what begins as a thrilling romance between Gökçe and Metin morphs into a mystery as Gökçe’s husband, Kenan (Mehmet Günsür), who runs a publishing house where his wife weeds out the literary chaff, becomes suspicious.

The script, courtesy of Erdi Isik, walks on thin ice. A lot could have gone wrong quite quickly here — particularly by tiptoeing in embarrassment around the film’s inherent connection to sensual romance novels usually marketed at and consumed by women — and stereotypically, by women in monogamous heterosexual relationships — but Ashes has enough confidence and sincerity to stave off any such concerns. The samples we overhear from Kül are not that spicy in all honesty, and the erotica crowd would probably shrill at the label being applied here, but Gökçe’s reaction to the book (and especially its sex scenes) reasonably reflects the conventional image of a woman sneakily devouring spicy books in a self-made labyrinth of secrecy. To that end, Ashes mostly embraces the sexy appeal of what it is, albeit within the constraints of the Turkish Radio and Television Supreme Council (RTÜK)’s conservative standards. In fact, it wouldn’t surprise at all if it later comes out that Ashes pushed the limits of the censors with its BDSM-light scenes featuring both whipping and choking.

Tepegöz and grizzled veteran cinematographer Hayk Kirakosyan both compel as visual stylists. In addition to being a well-accomplished feature director, Tepegöz also has a graduate-level academic background in visual anthropology. This academic expertise, combined with his personal interest in photography, primes him to excavate meaning in his images. Take, for instance, the red glow that all but screams “danger” and highlights the faces of the forbidden lovers during their first kiss in the film’s most romantic moment. This simple scene contains layers of complicated romance, sex, danger, and judgment; the latter comes across only via cinematography as Gökçe carries little guilt, and the filmmakers return with frequency to the reflective imagery of mirrors and the refraction of faces gazing into them from certain angles (or when broken) — the sheer number of mirrors in the film had to overwhelm the production designer. But for the viewer, it never overwhelms or tires, with the film’s hyper-focus on the line between fiction and reality earning the symbolism.

Some will certainly complain that Ashes is too twisty, a complaint that this critic doesn’t disagree with in principal. The film’s final 15 minutes tugs the viewer in one direction, but as soon as it gets them on board, it quickly pivots and moves in a new direction at almost dizzying speed; but in fairness, Isik telegraphs this arc from the beginning if one listens closely enough. Ending and all, then, Ashes arrives as a strong, savvy effort, and Netflix executives can only blame themselves when it comes and goes in the blink of an eye, even in the linguistic and regional industry it targets. Of course, it’s not surprising that Netflix didn’t market or back a film like this in any meaningful way, but in this environment, one may as well be grateful Ashes didn’t end up being a corporate tax break.

DIRECTOR: Erdem Tepegöz; CAST: Alperen Duymaz, Funda Eryigit, Mehmet Günsür; DISTRIBUTOR: Netflix; STREAMING: February 9; RUNTIME: 1 hr. 40 min.

➝ THE GLOBAL OLIGARCHY. ❗

The world is run by a vastly powerful and wealthy British-American-European oligarchy of banks, corporations and dynastic families and institutions, which controls much of the wealth of the world. This cabal dominates finance and commerce, manipulates national currencies and economies, controls the media of most nations, and commands the earth’s resources. Their wealth and power originated in the middle ages and expanded over the centuries, and today they reign supreme.

Few people are aware of the power and global influence of these oligarchs because they dominate the major media. As a result, instead of informing us, the media feeds us a steady diet of entertainment, disinformation and lies – to distract us and misdirect us – so that the oligarchy can achieve its plan to dominate the world.

We see the world through the lens of the major media – for most people that means television. Books, newspapers, magazines, radio, and the internet play a role, but the vast majority of people around the world get their information from television. And, if those who own the global media conglomerates, and those who run the television networks and cable channels, decide to feed us disinformation and lies that serve the agendas of those in control, then, instead of being told the truth, we will learn not about the real world, but about the world they wish us to see, one that will serve their plan for global control.

Unless we reach beyond the media matrix to find sources that tell us the truth, authoritarian world government run by this powerful oligarchy will become a reality, and we will all be proles in a George Orwell totalitarian world.

A GLOBAL OLIGARCHY CONTROLS THE WORLD (A PARTIAL LIST)

Through interlocking Boards of DIrectors and stock ownership, and acting through private clubs, societies and institutions, often in secret, a vastly wealthy and powerful global oligarchy of dynastic families, banks and corporations, rule the world, owning outright or controlling:

MOST CENTRAL BANKS NATIONAL ECONOMIES NATIONAL CURRENCIES MAJOR STOCK MARKETS LARGEST PRIVATE BANKS POLITICIANS AND POLITICAL PARTIES CORPORATE MAINSTREAM MEDIA AND MUCH OF THE ALTERNATIVE MEDIA MOST INLFUENTIAL TAX-EXEMPT FOUNDATIONS MOST INFLUENTIAL THINK TANKS MOST MAJOR UNIVERSITIES AND EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS LARGEST ENVIRONMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS LARGEST HOLDING COMPANIES, ASSET MANAGEMENT CORPORATIONS AND HEDGE FUNDS LARGEST TRANSNATIONAL CORPORATIONS LARGEST INSURANCE CORPORATIONS LARGEST PHARMACEUTICAL CORPORATIONS LARGEST ENERGY CORPORATIONS MAJOR ENERGY RESOURCES INCLUDING OIL AND GAS GOLD, DIAMOND AND ESSENTIAL MINERAL MINING AND DISTRIBUTION CARTELS AGRICULTURAL LAND WATER AND WATER SYSTEMS LARGEST WEAPONS MANUFACTURERS INTERNATIONAL MONEY LAUNDERING NETWORKS INTERNATIONAL DRUG TRAFFICKING NETWORKS

THE GLOBAL OLIGARCHY’S INSTITUTIONS, CLUBS & SOCIETIES (A PARTIAL LIST)

The global oligarchy sets its agendas and coordinates its policies by way of secret clubs and societies, and some well-known as well as some less-well-known global instiutions.

In Europe today there are only ten monarchies left, but they have enormous wealth and power (dating back to the Middle Ages)

HOUSE OF WINDSOR (Great Britain and Northern Ireland) NETHERLANDS BELGIUM LIECHTENSTEIN LUXEMBOURG SPAIN DENMARK NORWAY SWEDEN MONACO

INTERNATIONAL BANKING FAMILIES

Eight families own the majority of stock in almost all private central banks in the world, including the Federal Reserve.

ROTHSCHILD ROCKEFELLER KUHN LOEB WARBURG LAZARD GOLDMAN SACHS ISRAEL MOSES SEIF LEHMAN

CENTRAL BANKS

Most sovereign nations in the world have publically-owned central banks, but they are controlled by a global banking oligarchy made up of the largest private banks and a few international banking and dynastic families.

The Federal Reserve, the central bank of the United States, is not owned by the U.S. government. Its Chairman and Board of Directors are appointed by the President of the United States, but it is owned and controlled by private banks.

The ten private banks listed below own the majority of shares in the Federal Reserve, and therefore control it.

Veteran Turkish journalist Merdan Yanardag was sentenced to two years and six months in prison on Wednesday for “making propaganda for a terrorist organisation” following his criticism of the jail conditions of Abdullah Ocalan, leader of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party, PKK.

Despite the sentence, Yanardag was released from prison considering he had spent more than three months in prison already.

“I criticized the policies followed by the [ruling] Justice and Development Party. They came to a conclusion that I praised Ocalan, for no reason. Why did you arrest me?” Yanardag asked on Wednesday in a press conference in front of Marmara Prison, formerly known as Silivri Prison, which is famous for holding political prisoners.

“This prison is the symbol of the regime’s tyranny,” Yanardag added.

Another senior journalist, Aysenur Arslan, was taken into police custody and investigated by prosecutors’ office for her comments on last Sunday’s Ankara bombing, which was claimed by the PKK.

Arslan was accused of praising terrorists. Both Arslan and Yanardag were targeted by pro-government media and social media trolls due to their comments.

“I explained what I really said [on TV]. As a result, I was released,” Arslan said on Wednesday in front of the court house in Istanbul.

Turkey’s Radio and Television Supreme Council, RTUK, the government agency for regulating TV and radio broadcasts, has taken punitive measures against Halk TV, citing comments made by Arslan on the channel related to Sunday’s bomb attack in Ankara.

RTUK imposed five programme suspensions, deeming Arslan’s comments a violation of the rules. RTUK also imposed a 3-per-cent fine [of its revenues] on Halk TV for “crossing the line of criticism”.

Yielding to the government of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Halk TV has since ended Arslan’s programme and fired her.

“Although terrorism was condemned in the same program, the unfortunate words spoken live in the … program aired yesterday go beyond the limits of Halk TV’s stance and perspective. Therefore, we announce with regret that we have decided to end the program,” Cafer Mahiroglu, chair of the Board of Directors of Halk TV, announced on Tuesday.

Following last Sunday’s bombing, Turkey has intensified its police and military operations against the PKK.

Since Sunday, the Police and Gendarmerie have arrested at least 105 people, and two more Kurdish militants were killed in clashes with the Gendarmerie in Agri province on Wednesday.

As the air force continues to bomb PKK targets in northern Iraq, the Turkish Defence Minister said that two of the bombers came to Turkey from parts of northern Syria controlled by the Kurdish People’s Defence Units, YPG, forces backed by the United States.

“We would like everyone to know that all facilities and activities of the PKK and YPG in Iraq and Syria are our legitimate targets,” Defence Minister Yasar Guler said.

Turkey considers the YPG a sister organisation of the PKK.

However, Mazloum Abdi, the leader of the YPG, denied playing any role in the bombing.

“Ankara’s attack perpetrators haven’t passed through our region as Turkish officials claim, and we aren’t party to Turkey’s internal conflict, nor do we encourage escalation. Turkey is looking for pretexts to legitimize its ongoing attacks on our region and to launch a new military aggression that is of deep concern to us,” Abdi said on Twitter on Wednesday. He added that Turkish attacks on cities are war crimes.

RADIO TAPOK - Black October (Lyric Video 2022)

[Verse 1]

Thirty years ago, Moscow greeted the year 1993 on the ruins of the barricades

Yeltsin overthrew the elected parliament, but upon learning that he was removed, he immediately sent troops

Take the House of the Supreme Council before dawn, withdraw the units that are loyal to our government

The airborne regiment went into battle, the Kremlin gave its command, the army is with us and the riot will fall

[Chorus]

We wrote our history

Brush framed the regime

Red blood on the White House

Under blue skies

Where was the black smoke

And there was black smoke

[Verse 2]

The parties were persuading the generals to swear allegiance under their control and carry out the order

Tanks fired in volleys, shells exploded in the windows, special forces stood at the gates

Arrest the president, seize the television center, burn the barricades, this is a new usurper!

Put on vests, power to the Supreme Council, the truth is ours and the Kremlin will fall

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

Moscow will meet a new day, meet hundreds of deaths

And the autumn rain will wash the blood from the hands of her children

And to the noisy march of soldiers on the ruins of the barricades

That illusion of the Republic met its sunset

[Transition]

And there was black smoke

[Chorus]

We wrote our history

Brush framed the regime

Red blood on the White House

Under blue skies

Where was the black smoke

And there was black smoke

Opposition Turkish TV investigated for 'insulting' election coverage

Turkey’s broadcasting watchdog has launched a probe into opposition TV channels over their coverage of Sunday’s presidential vote. Six stations, including Fox TV, TELE1 and Halk TV, are being investigated for “insulting the public” by the country’s Radio and Television Supreme Council (RTUK).

Turkey cancelled a Netflix show because of a gay character? I've never heard of that

yes, unfortunately they did. I’m going to adress this once because I don’t want to create bad vibes on my dash and as someone who belongs to the lgbtiq+ community it’s saddens me because I’m turkish and I can’t see myself ever represented in a turkish movie or show. Even though Turkey is liberal to some other countries and legal to this day, it still changed over the years since Erdogan became president. It’s no lie that he’s a homophobic, woman hating, conservative dictator. He believes that being lgbtiq+ is immoral. Even the pride in Istanbul isn’t allowed anymore. Last year due to the ban people still went into the streets and got attacked by the police with tear gas and this happened not only once. But I wander away, to the actual point. RTÜK (radio and television supreme council of Turkey - sanctions, regulates and monitors television shows) got more authority last year to have more control and that also means have control over social platforms like Netflix Turkey. They required permission to all sorts of media outlets in order that everything goes smoothly without disruptions. We all know how netflix loves to put lgbtiq+ representation in their shows and probably for the first time ever, they wanted to do it with a turkish show. And since it would’ve had a gay character the permission was not granted to produce this show due to the government censorship. Netflix confirmed it got cancelled because of a gay character.

The US State Department said the US is “deeply concerned” by the Turkish media regulatory body’s decision to block Voice of America’s Turkish service if it fails to apply for a government licence in 72 hours.

“We call on Turkey to fulfill its obligations and commitments to respect fundamental freedom of expression,” the State Department told VOA Turkish on Tuesday.

The Radio and Television Supreme Council, RTUK, the government agency for monitoring and regulation TV and radio broadcasts, on Tuesday issued a threat to ban VOA Turkish, which is registered with voaturkce.com, formerly known as amerikaninsesi.com, which Turkey had blocked access to in June 2022 due to the website’s failure to apply for a license.

RTUK has given VOA Turkish a 72-hour deadline to apply for a license. If the news outlet does not submit an application, access to voaturkce.com will also be blocked.

In its announcement, RTUK referred to voaturkce.com as an “internet domain name where broadcasting service is provided without obtaining an internet broadcasting license.”

“Respect for freedom of expression is enshrined in Turkey’s constitution and international commitments and obligations,” the US State Department added.

The RTUK says its decision is based on a regulation aiming to increase government controls on online media that was published in the Turkish Official Gazette on August 1, 2019.

Under the regulation, digital platforms and video broadcasting organizations fall under the supervision of RTUK. The regulation has led RTÜK to require organisations to pay fees for licenses. As a result, broadcasting organisations have been forced to remove content deemed inappropriate by RTUK.

In February 2022, RTUK said that Turkish services of VOA, News of the US, Euronews of France and Deutche Welle of Germany, DW, must apply for licences to continue their broadcasts in Turkey.

Euronews compiled with the decision but VOA Turkish and DW Turkish did not apply for licences and did not remove any content that was demanded by the RTUK.

RTUK later fined VOA Turkish and DW Turkish. DW Turkish remains blocked in Turkey. VOA Turkish changed its domain from amerikaninsesi.com to voaturkce.com, and now risks being blocked by the RTUK if it fails to apply for a licence as of Friday.

“It is not possible for VOA to comply with any guidelines aimed at enabling censorship,” VOA Turkish said in a press statement on Tuesday.

At the end of 2017, a dozen cities across Iran, including the capital Tehran, were rocked by spontaneous protests which continued into the New Year. The protests drew attention to the country’s deteriorating economic conditions, along with the regime’s abysmal human rights record.

They also paved the way for President Donald Trump’s announcement on January 12th that this would be a “last chance” for waiving US nuclear sanctions under the Iran nuclear deal for a further 60 days, after which the US would withdraw if its “disastrous flaws” cannot be fixed.

A range of recent official documents, from Congressional research to US foreign aid funding reports, throw new light on the Trump administration’s approach. The documents reveal the US government’s continued interest in triggering major political change in Iran to pull the country into the orbit of American interests. This includes the possibility of exploiting political unrest and other crises — including a worsening water crisis — to turn popular opinion against the regime.

Iran’s unrest has mostly been driven by a convergence of domestic ecological, energy and economic crises. The State Department has sought to exploit these crises to undermine the legitimacy of the regime, by funding opposition groups as well as anti-regime broadcasting to the tune of tens of millions of dollars a year.

One State Department funding document, for instance, refers to a project to use Iran’s growing water crisis to drum up public anger against regime “mismanagement”. To date, US government records show that the Trump administration has spent over $1 million, at least, since 2016, on financing anti-regime activism within Iran.

The policy is not new, though. Altogether, since 2006, successive US administrations have invested tens of millions of dollars a year on ‘democracy promotion’ efforts in Iran, serving as cover for longstanding ‘regime change’ aspirations.

Much of the media programming funded by the State Department has focused on glorifying the reign of the Shah of Iran, the brutal US-UK backed dictator who was deposed by the 1979 revolution. The propaganda appears to have worked, with many participants in the latest protests calling for the Shah’s exiled son, Reza Pahlavi, to return to power in Iran.

Militarization of the Iran strategy

Two Congressional documents published early last year, and one released just a month before the protests, throw light on the Trump administration’s policy of escalation in Iran. The documents are research reports published by the Congressional Research Service written by Kenneth Katzman, a former CIA analyst specialising in Iran, Iraq and the Gulf states.

One document, ‘Iran’s Foreign and Defense Policies’ dated February 6, 2017, describes how the administration’s announcement placing Iran “officially on notice” could signal that “the new Administration might change US rules of engagement to include the use of deadly force in future incidents.”

The government’s decision to “at least maintain, if not increase, defense ties to the GCC [Gulf Cooperation Council] states” are also “pivotal to US efforts to counter Iran”:

“The Trump Administration… has returned to earlier characterizations of Iran as an adversary whose malign activities and ballistic missile tests must be met with US responses.”

The document warns that escalating indirect US pressure on Iran could lead to the pre-emptive collapse of the nuclear agreement known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA): “… military action to counter Iran’s support for the Houthis, or against Iranian ships in the Gulf — could lead to a pattern of escalation that causes a collapse of the JCPOA.”

The document also highlights the potential for an escalation of military activity to counter Iran led by the Gulf regimes:

“Factors that could force a shift in Iran’s foreign policy could include the expansion or institutionalization of a Saudi-led coalition of Arab Sunni states that might succeed in defeating movements and governments backed by Iran.”

A further Congressional document authored by Katzman titled ‘Iran: Politics, Human Rights, and US Policy’, dated February 17, 2017, provides further detail on the Trump administration’s attempts to escalate pressure on Iran.

Under the heading ‘military options’, the document notes that like Obama, President Trump has kept “potential military action against Iran” on the table, but has moved considerably closer to this option:

“The Trump Administration has not stated a position on whether it would seek to change Iran’s regime, but its characterization of Iran as a US adversary could suggest that the Administration might support efforts to oust the Iranian regime should opportunities to do so present themselves.”

Sanitizing direct regime change with indirect ‘democracy promotion’

The report goes on to point out that while the US government has not yet pursued outright regime change, pressure to incite internal policy changes from the Iranian government is being exerted through ‘democracy promotion’ programs:

“In the absence of all-out US pursuit of regime change, successive Administrations and Congress have promoted political evolution in Iran through ‘democracy promotion’ and sanctions on Iranian human rights abuses.”

Under Congressional legislation, “Iran democracy promotion” funds have been “obligated through DRL [Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor Affairs] and the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs in partnership with USAID. Some of the funds have also been used for cultural exchanges, public diplomacy, and broadcasting to Iran.”

AXIOM: State Department ‘democracy promotion’ programs have been actively pursued to undermine the domestic legitimacy of the Iranian regime.

Bankrolling anti-regime propaganda

The US government’s ‘democracy promotion’ projects in Iran have focused heavily on influence through information, according to the Congressional documents.

Projects include “Iran-specific US broadcasting services such as “Radio Farda (‘tomorrow,’ in Farsi) [which] began under Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL), in partnership with the Voice of America (VOA), in 2002.”

Based in Prague, Radio Farda broadcasts 24 hours a day and has 59 full time employees. Its budget is approximately $11 million per year. The document denies that any US government assistance has been provided to Iranian exile-run stations.

VOA briefings confirm that its separate Persian Service, previously called Persian News Network (PNN) costs “about $20 million per year”. The service consists of Internet, an hour of radio a day, and six hours of television rebroadcast throughout the day.

In August 2014, VOA officials told the Congressional Research Service that a greater effort was made to reach “young, educated, anti-regime Iranians who are looking for signs of US official support.” VOA Persian is now viewed weekly by nearly one-in-four adults in Iran.

AXIOM: The US government is currently spending at least $33 million a year on soft propaganda through Radio Farda and the VOA’s Persian Service to undermine Iran from within.

Looking forward to an ‘uprising’

The document further confirms that US State Department ‘democracy promotion’ programs in Iran have been escalating since 2006, including an effort to increase “the presence of Persian-speaking US diplomats in US diplomatic missions around Iran,” partly to “facilitate Iranians [to] participate in US democracy-promotion programs.”

Earlier that year, the State Department established its Office of Iranian Affairs, to channel funds to groups that could aid opposition factions within Iran. The Office, according to the new Congressional document “is reportedly engaged in contacts with US-based exile groups.”

A third Congressional document by Katzman, published in November 2017, observes that “Domestic Iranian factors could cause Iran’s foreign policy to shift.” Among these factors, the report says that:

“An uprising in Iran or other event that changes the regime could precipitate policy changes that either favor or are adverse to US interests. The unexpected departure from the scene of the Supreme Leader could change Iran’s foreign policy sharply, depending on the views of his successor.”
