Last week, the social media post of Ebuseleme Gülen, the nephew of FETO leader Fetullah Gülen, caused confusion in the organization. Nephew Gülen claimed that his uncle had been kidnapped. Striking images were reflected on the drone camera from the organization headquarters in Pennsylvania, where Fetullah Gülen stayed for many years. Images that would have wide repercussions also reinforced the claims. The parking lot of the place, which was previously used as the organization headquarters, is largely empty. The armed and uniformed American security guards who were previously on duty are no longer in place.
FETO CENTER WAS EVACUATED, VISITS STOPPED
Following Ebuseleme Gülen’s claim, it was learned that visits to the FETO center, which was named “Golden Generation Worship & Retreat Center” in the organization’s media, stopped and those staying in the guesthouses on the farm evacuated their homes.
Some local shopkeepers in towns such as Saylorsburg and Wind Gap, where FETO members live heavily, and who know the members of the organization, confirmed that there has been no one coming to the camp for a while, and stated that they had heard that the farm was for sale.
THE FARM VIEWED FROM THE AIR! ONLY ONE PERSON WAS SEEN
In the images captured by AA’s drone footage, it was seen that there were only a few vehicles in the parking lot on the farm, where there was no empty space before, and only one person entered or exited one of the guesthouses in the approximately 60-acre camping area.
ARMED AMERICAN SECURITY IS NOT IN PLACE
It was reflected in the images that the armed and uniformed American security guards, who had previously been on guard duty 24 hours a day at the entrance of the farm, were no longer there.
‘CEMETERY’ DETAIL
AA also photographed from the air the area where the houses of Cevdet Türkyolu, FETO’s black box and who allegedly kidnapped Fetullah Gülen from the farm, and his daughters are located. In the area, which is about 5 minutes away from the farm, there is also a cemetery belonging to FETO called Gurbet Cemetery, where the leaders of the organization who died in the USA are buried.
THEY REALIZED THAT THEY WERE BEING CAUGHT ON CAMERA
Realizing that the area was being monitored, two members of the organization quickly came to check a covered area and then walked away.
HANDE FIRAT: FETO’S LETTER REVEALED
On the other hand, journalist Hande Fırat shared details about the latest allegations in the Night Vision program on CNN Türk and said:
“Fetullah Gülen’s diabetes is already known, and his age is also known. His health condition is serious. Why did such a discussion begin? Because terrorist organization appointments, called in-service appointments, are made in June. The organization is in conflict due to Gülen’s health problems. Normally, these appointments are made.” It was done by Gülen’s decision. His health condition is deteriorating and the claim that he was kidnapped from the camp in Pennsylvania is on the agenda.
But there is a letter that emerges. There are fights between senior figures within the organization. It is pointed out that names like FETO member Mustafa Özcan in 2023 have been withdrawn. According to this letter, the so-called former big brothers have been pacified. It is important that the safe of money and assets changes.
Another name that has lost power within the organization is Mustafa Özcan. It is stated that he is allowed to visit the headquarters only on some days. Mustafa Özcan was also accused of planting a listening device. Mustafa Özcan, who wants to regain power, is inside at the head of a group. As a result of Özcan’s course of action, Fetullah Gülen was told that a spell was cast on the current headquarters, that he was followed, and that his health problems would be resolved as long as he left the address in question, so that he could leave. For this reason, he moved to another address in April. Cevdet can meet a certain number of people with the permission given by Türkyolu.
In the letter, FETO member says: In the recent period, decisions are made not by Gülen but by his secretary Cevdet Türkyolu. For this reason, he points out that this will result in the appointment of names close to Mustafa Özcan at critical points.”
HIS NECEPHE’S POST CONFUSED THE ORGANIZATION
Last week, the discussions sparked by the posts made on social media by Ebuseleme Gülen, the nephew of FETO leader Fetullah Gülen (the son of his brother, Messiah Gülen), continue among the supporters of the organization. In his video post from the entrance of a house located right next to the organization farm, Ebuseleme Gülen claimed that Fetullah Gülen was “kidnapped to another place.”
“IN AN UNKNOWN PLACE”
According to his nephew’s claims, Fetullah Gülen is being kept in an unknown place by Cevdet Türkyolu, known as the black box of the organization, Barbaros Kocakurt, Mustafa Özcan and Gülen’s personal doctor Kudret Ünal.
After the allegations received intense interaction from the supporters of the organization, it was stated in a social media account where posts have been made in the name of Fetullah Gülen for a long time that the leader of FETO continued his routine activities in a “calmer environment” from the farm, and it was claimed that the change of location was due to the insistence of doctors.
While Ebuseleme Gülen comments in her X posts that her uncle “should not die without revealing the facts” about the treacherous coup attempt of July 15, she continues to blame the leading figures of the organization such as Türkyolu, Adil Öksüz, Kudret Ünal and Barbaros Kocakurt.
THE DISCUSSION ON THE LOCATION OF THE CREDITS CONTINUES
Some influential names of the organization, such as Kemal Gülen and Ahmet Kurucan, also participated in the discussions on their social media accounts and argued that the ringleader Gülen “was in a house that very few people knew, and that it was normal not to want to be kept in a crowded environment such as a camp due to the sensitivity of his health condition.”
While these statements did not satisfy the organization’s base, it was seen that the number of FETO members supporting Ebuseleme Gülen’s posts on social media increased.
In addition, the choice of the image shared on the organization’s website as a profile photo caused comments that it was intended to hide Gülen’s real health condition.
CEVDET TÜRKYOLU’S NAME WAS INVOLVED IN CORRUPTION AND INTRA-organization FIGHTS BEFORE
Türkyolu further strengthened its place in the organization thanks to its marriage with Fetullah Gülen’s niece, Mebruke Türkyolu. Türkyolu’s name, which is a member of the “Ali Committee” board, known as the decision-making mechanism of the organization after Gülen and appointed by the leader himself, was frequently brought up, especially after the July 15 coup attempt.
Türkyolu, who had authority in every field from the administration of the camp in Pennsylvania to the bank accounts of the organization, was accused of transferring the “charity” money belonging to the organization to his own account and owning dozens of houses and workplaces. The exponential increase in Türkyolu’s personal assets “even though he was not working in any job” disturbed the organizational structures in other countries, and the comments from the organization’s grassroots that “they are living in luxury while we are having financial difficulties” were reflected on social media platforms.
It was heard in the organization’s circles that Türkyolu beat Şimşek, expelled him from the camp and cut his salary after Gülen’s so-called social media manager Osman Şimşek read the letter to Fetullah Gülen in which other regional ringleaders expressed their complaints on this issue. After this incident, comments were made that Türkyolu had taken over the management of the organization. Şimşek confirmed the rumors with a statement on social media. (AA)
