We refuse to accept another political adventure into the carnage of war. We spoke out for the innocent victims of the Iraq war and today we speak for all the innocent Syrian victims past and perhaps to come. In all aspects, bombing Syria is exactly the wrong thing to do. Now is the time for dialogue not dynamite. https://www.opednews.com/articles/Adil-Means-just-in-Ara-by-James-Cem-Ryan-120719-300.html Fri, 20 Jul 2012 15:18:55 -0400 https://www.opednews.com/articles/Adil-Means-just-in-Ara-by-James-Cem-Ryan-120719-300.html James (Cem) Ryan My wife's uncle, Adil, was shot and killed in cold blood in a Damascus street. He had no blackmail money. He was poor. So he was shot. He was shot by killers financed and organized by the USA and Turkey, in particular by Barack Obama and Turkey's prime minister and prime collaborator. https://www.opednews.com/articles/LETTER-TO-PRESIDENT-OBAMA-by-James-Cem-Ryan-100105-648.html Wed, 06 Jan 2010 13:15:57 -0500 https://www.opednews.com/articles/LETTER-TO-PRESIDENT-OBAMA-by-James-Cem-Ryan-100105-648.html James (Cem) Ryan Mr. President, last May you came to Turkey and spoke so glowingly of Atat----rk. And now you condone and encourage his enemies. What happened? I despair that history shall record that the democratic, secular republic of Turkey, founded by Mustafa Kemal Atat----rk, was destroyed by vile criminal elements that came to power to do America's bidding. https://www.opednews.com/articles/A-K-P-NESS-The-Conditio-by-James-Cem-Ryan-091027-170.html Fri, 30 Oct 2009 19:45:48 -0400 https://www.opednews.com/articles/A-K-P-NESS-The-Conditio-by-James-Cem-Ryan-091027-170.html James (Cem) Ryan The corruption of the AKP, the Islamic ruling party in Turkey, the Adalet ve Kalk----nma Partisi, the Justice and Development Party which has brought neither justice nor development, continues. This time on the royal prince's "member", that is his circumcision in 1582. https://www.opednews.com/articles/Letter-to-President-Obama-by-James-Cem-Ryan-091027-483.html Tue, 27 Oct 2009 13:52:30 -0400 https://www.opednews.com/articles/Letter-to-President-Obama-by-James-Cem-Ryan-091027-483.html James (Cem) Ryan A letter to the President of the Uited States about the worsening threat of Islamic fascism in the Republic of Turkey. https://www.opednews.com/articles/Dreams-from-My-President--by-James-Cem-Ryan-090422-859.html Wed, 22 Apr 2009 21:48:55 -0400 https://www.opednews.com/articles/Dreams-from-My-President--by-James-Cem-Ryan-090422-859.html James (Cem) Ryan Regarding President Obama's visit...Hoşgeldiniz (Welcome), Mr. President, but you were addressing people who now live on the dark side of the moon. Wrong people. Wrong country. Wrong time. The brutal truth is that the country that was the realized dream of Mustafa Kemal Atat--rk has turned into a nightmare. https://www.opednews.com/articles/TURKEY-Slouching-in-Democ-by-James-Cem-Ryan-090326-307.html Sun, 29 Mar 2009 15:40:39 -0400 https://www.opednews.com/articles/TURKEY-Slouching-in-Democ-by-James-Cem-Ryan-090326-307.html James (Cem) Ryan Constitutionally guaranteed rights are routinely violated by the government. Police violence is rampant. Vocal left wing opposition are in jail under an unconstitutional scam called Ergenekon. The Turkish judicial system is in shreds. The army is defamed and seems powerless. Religious rule lurks. Hello! Hello! Poverty, corruption, unemployment, and hopelessness rage. But most Turks don't seem to be the least upset, as may wel https://www.opednews.com/articles/ERDO-286-AN-DOES-DAVOS-by-James-Cem-Ryan-090131-446.html Sun, 01 Feb 2009 12:53:56 -0500 https://www.opednews.com/articles/ERDO-286-AN-DOES-DAVOS-by-James-Cem-Ryan-090131-446.html James (Cem) Ryan By his courageous stand Erdo--?an has unified a badly divided nation. We shall soon see the degree to which he is an equally passionate advocate for human rights in his own country. https://www.opednews.com/articles/LETTER-TO-PRESIDENT-OBAMA-by-James-Cem-Ryan-090121-255.html Sun, 25 Jan 2009 18:51:23 -0500 https://www.opednews.com/articles/LETTER-TO-PRESIDENT-OBAMA-by-James-Cem-Ryan-090121-255.html James (Cem) Ryan I have now lived in Istanbul, Turkey for nine years. Over these years a "reality" has set in regarding our beloved country, America. I write to you today, Mr. President, to warn you about conditions in Turkey. "The world," wrote Mustafa Kemal Atat--rk, "is an arena of trials." And the Bush policy of making Turkey a "moderate Islamic republic" has been an arena of disasters. Mr. President. https://www.opednews.com/articles/THE-ISRAELI-AMERICAN-KILLI-by-James-Cem-Ryan-090107-595.html Mon, 12 Jan 2009 16:31:45 -0500 https://www.opednews.com/articles/THE-ISRAELI-AMERICAN-KILLI-by-James-Cem-Ryan-090107-595.html James (Cem) Ryan The tentacles of God's bloody instruction have been embraced as a political policy by the ancient Israelites, the papacy in Rome, the new world colonizing countries, the early government of the United States, and the current governments of the United States and its favorite strategic partner-in-crime, Israel. It reaches back four thousand years. It has been a disgraceful, bloor-ridden legacy. https://www.opednews.com/articles/FORGET-ARMENIA-TURKS-SHOU-by-James-Cem-Ryan-081224-448.html Wed, 24 Dec 2008 11:53:42 -0500 https://www.opednews.com/articles/FORGET-ARMENIA-TURKS-SHOU-by-James-Cem-Ryan-081224-448.html James (Cem) Ryan It is high time that Turkey takes the offensive on the matter of genocide. In this day of widespread destruction, it is high time to remind America, Americans, and their government, that they are up to their ancestral elbows in the blood of the American Indians. The Turkish government must condemn the American Indian Genocide, or itself be condemned. https://www.opednews.com/articles/opedne_james_ry_080412_turkey_21s__22undemocrat.htm Sun, 13 Apr 2008 21:25:40 -0400 https://www.opednews.com/articles/opedne_james_ry_080412_turkey_21s__22undemocrat.htm James (Cem) Ryan The furor regarding the case accepted by Turkey's highest court that could result in the banishment of the AKP ruling party makes me laugh out loud. Never forget that in the name of democracy, the institution that brought the Bush regime to power was none other than the Supreme Court of the United States. A judicial coup? Don't make me laugh harder. No one said a word about that.
