The British have been the determiners of our fate: they, along with the Jews, caused the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, and the Tanzimat reforms were also their doing. For two centuries now, Türkiye has been enslaved by the British.   Their machinations from two centuries ago still persist to this day, as the British continue to quietly pull the strings. While relations between Türkiye and Britain may seem good at present, we must remain vigilant against them.   Since the Tanzimat period, the reins have not been in our hands! The outcome of the upcoming Turkish elections will determine the direction the country will take. It will determine where Türkiye stands, or where it should be standing. The May 14 elections will go down in history as Türkiye's fateful choice.     That's why these elections are being closely watched not only in Türkiye but also around the world. This is why U.S. President Biden had called for "democratic" intervention in the Turkish elections.   The recent admission of the Ali Cengiz conspiracy to control democracy in Türkiye has once again highlighted the difficulty of achieving true democracy in the country. While political parties can participate in elections, the true power lies not with the people, but with the deep state and the forces behind it, making it difficult for democratically elected governments to govern effectively.   The political, bureaucratic, economic, cultural, and social institutions of power in Türkiye are controlled by a small, aggressive minority, not by the people or their representatives. This group has dominated the state and its institutions for over two centuries, shaping the country's destiny to suit their interests.     Since the Tanzimat period, the fate of this country has not been in the hands of its own people. This is why Abdülaziz had his wrists slit, Abdülhamid was toppled by his most ruthless enemies, Menderes was executed, Özal was assassinated, and Muhsin Yazıcıoğlu was brutally murdered right in front of our eyes.   However, the Turkish people have never surrendered, and they never will. They have refused to let the enemies of Islam, the very essence of our country's existence, consume our land. Despite being on the brink of extinction for two centuries, this resilient people have survived all attempts to destroy them, including the countless encirclements and attacks by domestic and foreign enemies, including the imperialists, particularly the British, who have supported them in every possible way.   The question at hand is this: how has this society managed to repel all visible and invisible sieges and attacks from both within and outside for the past two centuries?     Despite having all its institutions, the state, bureaucracy, political, economic, cultural power structures, and ways of existence taken away from it, if volumes of books were written on how this society managed to repel all these internal and external sieges and attacks, it wouldn't be enough.   Imagine... losing all your material power structures. That is, the state apparatus, economy, culture, education and art institutions of the country fall into the hands of the country and Islam's enemies to dry up the country's spiritual roots, blow up civilization dynamics, and break down resistance points. But in the end, this society's spiritual roots cannot be dried up, on the contrary, it stands up even stronger after every attack; it continues to determine the direction, orientation, and orbit of the country's younger generations; the country's civilization dynamics continue to offer history consciousness, civilization horizon, resistance, revival, and existential hope to the country's young generation...   This country and the reason for its existence repel all sieges and attacks of Islam's enemies by carrying out these noble nation-revitalizing yarma operations.     Thanks to the unwavering efforts, struggles, and strong resistance of committed spiritual leaders.   The question arises: How did this society manage to repel all the visible and invisible sieges and attacks carried out relentlessly from both inside and outside for two centuries?   It would be fitting to fill volumes upon volumes with books exploring how this society managed to resist all these internal and external sieges and attacks, even when all its institutions, such as the state, bureaucracy, political, economic, and cultural power apparatuses, and modes of existence, were stripped away from it.     Imagine losing all your material power apparatuses. That is, the state apparatus, economy, culture, education, and art institutions of the country fall into the hands of the country and Islam's enemies to dry up the country's spiritual roots, detonate civilization dynamics, and break resistance points. But ultimately, this society's spiritual roots cannot be dried up. Instead, it stands up even more powerfully after every attack. It continues to determine the direction and orientation of the country's young generations, and the country's civilization dynamics continue to offer young generations historical consciousness, civilization horizons, resistance, revival, and existential hope.   THE REVITALIZING EFFORTS OF THE PEOPLE...   The reason for this country's existence is that it repels all the sieges and attacks of Islam's enemies through these people's revitalizing efforts.     Thanks to the tireless efforts, struggles, and strong resistance of the devout and devoted spiritual leaders, the venerable spiritual leaders of Islamic communities, both political leaders and idea, art, and cultural pioneers who nourish and quench the thirst of the idea, art, and cause pioneers who open up and expand horizons and allow for deep, profound, and long-term breathing of the revitalizing spirit they breathe into the precursor generations, the devout and devoted individuals...   Those who fought desperately to pull the country out of the impasse it had fallen into in politics, some of whom paid with their lives, such as Menderes, Ozal, Erbakan, Yazicioglu, and Erdogan...   The bold advance of Master Necip Fazil Kisakurek, who charged forward like a one-man army in the field of ideas, arts, and action, raising a few devoted and dedicated young generations that will open the way forward...     The indestructible seeds sown in thought and art by Sezai Karakoc, Nurettin Topcu, Ismet Ozel, Cemil Meric, and the priceless magnificent spirit they left as a gift to future generations!   The spirits nurtured and the seeds sown by pioneering figures who lead the society in politics, thought, art, and culture prevented this society from disappearing and its spiritual roots from drying up.   For two centuries, we have been embroiled in a life or death struggle to prevent our society from disappearing...   In this struggle, we have paid, and are still paying, a heavy price... This has been a great trauma that we have been experiencing for two centuries. Do you really think that overcoming such a great trauma is an easy feat?     The fallen, the ones who got back up, those who never fell, those who stood tall, those who never left their positions despite all condemnations, political and legal obstacles, are all indicators of a difficult and painful trauma that we have been through.   But the attacks aimed at taking over this society for two centuries, drying up its spiritual roots, and destroying its civilizational consciousness, have ultimately failed. The society resisted, produced new leaders each time, developed new forms of resistance and methods, and managed to repel the attacks with a renewed spirit. However, it got tired and faced the danger of losing its dreams, ambitions, and hopes.   At this point, the biggest challenge that we need to face is the risk of losing the younger generation. If we lose our young generation, our country will slip away from our hands.   Türkiye cannot and will not be sacrificed to the political calculations of those who collaborate with the enemies of our country. This noble nation will give the necessary response to those who want to stop us, those who want to make us kneel down, on May 14!
