Turkish leader"s daughter heads secret ISIS hospital
Turkish President Erdogan and daughter Sumeyye Erdogan
A former nurse has revealed she was employed at a secret Turkish hospital used to treat wounded ISIS soldiers near the Syrian border, run by Sumeyye Erdogan, daughter of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
The nurse, who did not reveal her name for fear of retaliation, is a member of the Alawite faith, a minority offshoot of Shia Islam, according to an investigative report released by the Montreal-based Center for Research on Globalization.
“I was given a generous salary of $ 7,500, but they were unaware of my religion,” she told investigators. “The fact is that I adhere to the Alawi faith, and since Erdogan took the helm of the country the system shows utter contempt for the Alawi minority,” the nurse added.
She said she was forced out of her position because hospital officials began treating her unfairly when they learned she was a member of the minority sect.
They had no confidence in Alawites, the nurse said.
“No sooner did they become cognizant of my faith than the wave of intimidation began, for I knew many things as who was running the corps, I saw Sumeyye Erdogan frequently at our headquarter in Sanliurfa … I am indeed terrified, I rue the day I enrolled in that program.”
She now lives in hiding in Istanbul with her two children.
“Almost every day several khaki Turkish military trucks were bringing scores of severely injured, shaggy [ISIS] rebels to our secret hospital, and we had to prepare the operating rooms and help doctors in the following procedures.”
Hers is just the latest charge that the Erdogan government is secretly assisting ISIS in its war against Syria’s Assad regime, a charge the administration has repeatedly denied.

Once hailed as a nationalist and secular politician, Erdogan’s 13-year reign has been marked in recent years by increasingly provocative jihadi rhetoric.
WND reported Erdogan has called on his countrymen to refocus on the Ottoman goal of re-conquering Jerusalem for Islam and uniting Shia and Sunni tribes for that same mission.
In a speech that got almost no coverage in the Western media, Erdogan talked about invading and reconquering Jerusalem, according to an article in the Anadolu Agency of Turkey.
“We Muslims lost our aim to head toward Jerusalem,” he told throngs of adoring Turks while in the state of Erzincan in central Turkey, according to a translation by Walid Shoebat. “The water of our eyes froze making us blind, and our hearts that was destined to beat for Jerusalem is now instead conditioned for rivalry being in a state of war with each other.”
Erdogan was in the city to promote numerous service projects, but the speech focused on Jerusalem.
“When you mention the word ascension, the first thing that comes to mind is Jerusalem and al-Aqsa Mosque,” he said, referring to the mosque that sits on the Temple Mount.
Turkey also served as the home base of the 2010 Muslim flotilla that unsuccessfully attempted to break the Israeli naval blockade of Gaza in an incident that resulted in 10 deaths and many wounded on both sides.
Sumeyye Erdogan earlier was subjected to public condemnation by her father’s political opponents when she expressed her intent to go to ISIS-occupied Mosul, Iraq, to do volunteer relief work. Her brother, Bilal Erdogan, is accused of being engaged in the smuggling of Syrian and Iraqi oil, plundered by ISIS to fund its caliphate and military operations.
Bilal owns several maritime companies that control special wharves in the ports of Beirut and Ceyhan, the report alleges, that are used to transport ISIS oil to Asian markets in Japan-owned tankers, resulting in ISIS being the world’s wealthiest terrorist group. One of those companies, BMZ Ltd, is considered an Erdogan-family business and the president’s close relatives hold shares in it.
“President Erdogan claims that according to international transportation conventions there is no legal infraction concerning Bilal’s illicit activities, and his son is doing an ordinary business with the registered Japanese companies, but in fact Bilal Erdogan is up to his neck in complicity with terrorism, but as long as his father holds office he will be immune from any judicial prosecution,” Gürsel Tekin, a senior opposition party official in Ankara charged Tuesday.
Mideast expert Joel Richardson, author of the New York Times bestseller “Mideast Beast: The Scriptural Case for an Islamic Antichrist,” has argued Erdogan’s support for ISIS is particularly cynical, self-serving – using ISIS to prepare the geopolitical groundwork for Turkish control over the entire region.
In his documentary exploring the intentions of the Turkish government “End Times Eyewitness,” Richardson says: “There is a Turkish proverb which says, ‘Show the people death and they will gladly embrace malaria.’ Erdogan is allowing ISIS to do its dirty work in its backyard. He is using them in his war against Assad, the Kurds and Iran. But then the time comes, he will dispose of ISIS, (or allow others to do so) and he will step forward, as a far more appealing caliph.”
In the end, Richardson, whose most recent work is “When a Jew Rules the World: What the Bible Really Says About Israel in the Plan of God,” believes the geopolitics of the end times are unfolding before the eyes of the current generation. And the multifaceted battle between various factions is setting the stage for a larger and potentially far more destructive conflict.

Quiz: Who signed all 4 founding documents?
Roger Sherman
He was the only person to sign all four of America’s founding documents:
- Articles of Association – 1774
- Declaration of Independence – 1776
- Articles of Confederation – 1777
- U.S. Constitution – 1787
Who was he? Roger Sherman.
At age 19, Roger Sherman’s father died and he supported his family as a shoe cobbler, helping his two younger brothers to attend college and become clergymen.
Roger Sherman was a surveyor and merchant, but when a neighbor needed legal advice, he studied to help, only to be inspired to become a lawyer. Roger Sherman was elected a state senator, a judge and a delegate to the Continental Congress.
Roger Sherman was on the Committee to draft the Declaration of Independence, along with Jefferson, Franklin, Adams and Livingston. He is pictured second from the left in John Trumbull’s famous painting which hangs in the Capitol Rotunda.
Roger Sherman helped draft the Articles of Confederation and helped draft the instructions given to an embassy headed to Canada, which stated: “You are further to declare that we hold sacred the rights of conscience, and may promise to the whole people, solemnly in our name, the free and undisturbed exercise of their religion. And … that all civil rights and the right to hold office were to be extended to persons of any Christian denomination.”
On Oct. 17, 1777, when news that British General Burgoyne had surrendered 6,000 British troops to American General Horatio Gates after the Battle of Saratoga, Roger Sherman exclaimed: “This is the Lord’s doing, and marvelous in our eyes!”

Roger Sherman made 138 speeches at the Constitutional Convention. He helped to draft the New Jersey Plan and the Connecticut Compromise, which broke the deadlock between how the large states and small states would be represented in the new government. Patrick Henry described Roger Sherman as one of the three greatest men at the Constitutional Convention.
Roger Sherman is the author of Article 1, Section 10 of the U.S. Constitution: “No State shall … make anything but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts.”
In his “Caveat of Injustice,” 1752, Roger Sherman wrote: “Suppose a man comes to a trader’s shop in this colony to buy goods, and the trader sells him a certain quantity of goods and tells him the price is so many pounds, shillings and pence … to be paid at the expiration of one year … but there is nothing said either by seller or buyer, what currency it is to be paid in. … Now I ask: What does the creditor have a right to demand for a debt so contracted? … The debtor says that Bills of Credit on the neighboring governments have for many years passed promiscuously with the Bills of Credit on this colony as money. … And the creditor … says that such Bills of Credit are of no intrinsic value, and their … value is fluctuating and very uncertain, and therefore it would be unjust that any person should be obliged to receive them in payment as money … for money ought to be something of certain value, it being that whereby other things are to be valued. … No government has the right to impose on its subjects any … currency to be received in payments as money which is not of intrinsic value … because in so doing they would oblige men to part with their estates for that which is worth nothing in itself and which they don’t know will ever procure him any thing.”
Roger Sherman helped Connecticut to ratify the U.S. Constitution and was elected to the first session of United States Congress. When the First Amendment was introduced, Roger Sherman thought it was unnecessary, as religion was under each individual states’ jurisdiction.
In 1788, as a member of the White Haven Congregational Church, Roger Sherman was asked to use his expertise in revising the wording of their creed. In his own handwriting, he wrote: “I believe … that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are a revelation from God, and a complete rule to direct us how we may glorify and enjoy him. … That He made man at first perfectly holy, that the first man sinned, and … all became sinners in consequence … and on account of sin are liable to all the miseries of this life, to death, and to the pains of hell forever.
“I believe that God … did send His own Son to become man, die in the room and stead of sinners and thus to lay a foundation for the offer of pardon and salvation to all mankind, so as all may be saved who are willing to accept the Gospel offer. …”
Elected a U.S. Senator at age 70, Roger Sherman died July 23, 1793. The state of Connecticut placed a statue of Roger Sherman in the U.S. Capitol. His statue is also in the Connecticut state Capitol in Hartford.
Inscribed on Roger Sherman’s tomb is: “He ever adorned the profession of Christianity which he made in youth and … died in the prospect of a blessed immortality.”
