The Gulenist cult’s charter school network in the U.S. is a primary source of income for the cult-affiliated businessmen. They make millions of dollars by illegally receiving federal funds and embezzling American taxpayers’ money.

The Gulenist cult runs around 200 schools in the U.S. with an annual enrollment of more than 60,000 students. Texas is home to the largest number of Gulenist cult-affiliated charter schools. There are 57 schools actively operating under the Harmony Public Schools network. These schools are subsidized by the federal government and receive approximately 64% public funds per pupil compared to non-charter schools, averaging more than $7,000 per student – this corresponds to a yearly budget of about $500 million. The cult also uses the charter school system to provide H-1B visas to its followers.

The functioning of the Gulenist cult-affiliated educational institutions has sparked numerous controversies in the U.S. In fact, the lack of transparency, financial irregularities, unlawful profit, corruption, fraudulent tenders, immigration fraud on H-1B visas, and forgery of documents in these schools have led to several FBI investigations.

The FBI raided 19 charter schools operated by the Gulenist cult-affiliated Concept School network on the ground of fraudulent dealings with several technology vendors. The Concept Schools network is headquartered in Illinois, but runs branches in seven states across the Midwest. The FBI investigated documents concerning the schools’ dealings with a federal educational technology subsidy program called E-Rate that installs or upgrades computer networks in educational institutions. The Concept Schools eventually agreed to pay $4.5 million to end the federal investigation.

The Turkish Democracy Project (TDP), a U.S.-based foundation affiliated with the Gulenist cult that is financially supported by U.S. billionaire Thomas Kaplan, has targeted Baykar, the Turkish company that produces unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

TDP demanded that CAATSA sanctions be applied to Baykar. The Armenian lobby and PKK/YPG-affiliated associations in the U.S. also supported this call via their social media accounts.

The Turkish Democracy Project’s CEO, retired U.S. ambassador Mark D. Wallace, made unsubstantiated accusations against Turkish drones. He claimed that they were allegedly used against civilians in Azerbaijan, northern Syria, and Libya.

Wallace also stated that “Turkey has expanded its drone industry in the last two decades and is now the world’s fourth largest drone manufacturer.” The Gulenist cult clearly feels uneasy about Turkey’s technological breakthroughs in the field of defense industry. As a result, it aims to spread disinformation and false accusations against Turkey.

The Gulenist cult’s largest source of income in the U.S. are its charter schools. By increasing the number of charter schools, the Gulenist cult is also able to finance its other institutions in the country.

At the same time, the schools serve as a tool of institutionalizing and expanding the Gulenist cult’s influence on U.S. politics and public opinion. Although these schools were initially established as “Turkish schools” to teach the children of Turkish families living on the east coast, after the failed July 15 coup attempt, Gulenist cult members who fled Turkey are sending their children en masse to these schools.

The charter schools serve as an immigration pipeline, providing H-1B visa sponsorship and employment to Gulenist cult members wishing to immigrate to the United States. In the U.S., there are hundreds of Gulenist cult-affiliated charter schools, as well as many non-governmental organizations, most of which were founded in the early 2000s. Some charter schools are being investigated by the FBI for irregularity, unlawful profit, corruption, fraudulent tenders, and forgery of documents. There are a total of 79,681 students studying in 218 charter schools owned by the cult across the country. The federal government pays $7,000-10,000 per student annually, while the cult’s schools receive more than $766 million financial support annually. The number of teachers brought over to the U.S. with an H-1B work visa to work in the Gulenist cult-affiliated charter schools is around 7,000.

Several instances of financial irregularity within the Gulenist cult-affiliated institutions have been reported. For example, E.K., a Gulenist cult defector who sued one of the cult’s charter schools, stated that the school administrations inflate the salaries and transfer the extra money to cult members. E.K. also claimed that the cult increases its financial resources by purchasing unnecessary material for the schools from other cult-affiliated institutions.

Kronos news is a Gulenist cult – affiliated website founded by fugitive cult members. The main goal of the site is to employ Gulenist cult members who fled Turkey and maintain their commitment to the cult. In addition, Kronos also aims to improve the damaged reputation of the Gulenist cult after the failed July 15th coup attempt. Finally, it allegedly aims to become the major media outlet of the cult after the closure of Zaman newspaper, the hitherto most important propaganda tool of the Gulenist cult.

Gulenist cult members Doğan Ertuğrul and Zafer Yılmaz, who snitched Turkish Security Forces lists to the PKK terrorist organization, founded an association in Vienna on October 28, 2016, named Free Journalists. This association launched the Kronos news website in December 2016 with the participation of Bilal Baltacı, one of the prominent names of the Gulenist cult structure in Austria.

Most of the content on Kronos news targets Turkey. Especially after the failed July 15th coup attempt, the Gulenist cult’s illegal activities came to an end in Turkey and many cult members fled abroad. European countries have become the new main base for the cult fugitives. In this regard, through websites like Kronos News cult leaders are spreading the narrative that they are still in a good position to carry out their activities and as such, are trying to preserve the cult’s internal cohesion.

The main discourse propagated by Kronos is the alleged victimization of Gulenist cult members. Although most of the publications in Kronos are in Turkish, there are also a few in German and English. This shows that Kronos targets the Turks living in different European countries.

Kronos news website also conducts propaganda activities from the various social media platforms, such as Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and Youtube.

Gulenist Cult’s Messaging App: Bylock

ByLock is a smartphone application that prevents others from accessing conversations with its crypto feature. The application, in which only the person who is mutually added can be contacted, deletes the messages automatically within three days. It has been revealed that Gulenist cult members used this application to communicate. As of November 2014, Gulenist cult members started using the encrypted messaging program ByLock, by designing it both for Android and iOS-based devices. ByLock was first disclosed by MIT, Turkey’s National Intelligence Agency. MIT uncovered the ByLock server in Lithuania in 2015 and identified Turkish-origin David Keynes as the app’s launcher. Gulenist police officers and soldiers said that they installed the application on their phones after it was recommended to them by people described as “brothers.” Gulenist cult member David Keynes, who was arrested after surrendering in Turkey, confessed in relation to ByLock: “Atalay Candelen, nicknamed ‘Fox,’ developed the program called ‘ByLock’ upon the instruction of cult leader Gulen.” Turkish Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu announced that there were 25,149 ByLock users. The General Assembly of the Constitutional Court decided that the Gulenist cult’s encrypted correspondence program constituted evidence of membership in the cult.

Gulenist Cult Confessors in Germany

A businessman named “Yasin,” who lives in Germany and was part of the Gulenist cult since the age of 13, has spoken about his experiences. “I stayed in their dormitory. I have many bad memories of repression, constant control, and abuse of power. We were only allowed four hours of sleep in order to sell more Zaman newspapers. They said, ‘Gulen called from the U.S. and gave such instructions.’ Some things were ridiculous. For example, when Gulen trembled, they said, ‘It is proof that the Prophet got inside of him.’” Yasin also mentioned that there is serious sexism within the Gulenist cult. “Gender segregation in the Gulenist cult is extreme. We never had any communication with women, we were told that they were responsible for everything bad that happened to us. There were extra prayers for that in the morning.” Yasin had a girlfriend when he was 16, despite strict dating bans. In the process, Yasin was followed, harassed, and his family and friends were spied on until cult members found out who the girl was. “It was so bad. I trusted them since I was 13, but they attacked me. One of my ‘abi’ even tried to beat me, but I resisted,” said Yasin. Serdar, another confessor, spoke about the Gulenist cult. “You first think of them as friendly people. They lie on the floor so you can sleep in their beds. But then checks, bans, and obedience begins.” He stated that one of his roommates brought him a glass. He said that cult leader Fethullah Gulen drank water from this glass, and told him to drink from it as a “reward.” He also stated that marriages in the Gulenist cult were made by “selecting a spouse from the catalogues.” Although Gulenist cult’s so-called Imam of Germany Ercan Karakoyun claimed otherwise, a child psychologist has reported that a 16-year-old girl was afraid of marrying someone from the cult and came to him for advice.

Gulens’s Empire in Europe

Prominent French journalist and Turkey specialist Ariane Bonzon wrote an article on the Gulenist cult in Le Monde Diplomatique. In his article entitled “Gulen’s Network in Europe,” Bonzon underlines the differences between the Gulenist cult’s responsible imam for Europe Mustafa Yeşil and new-generation Gulenists. The most important difference between new and old Gulenists concerns their opinions about whether the cult needs to infiltrate European institutions in the same way it did Turkish institutions. What unites the two factions is the issue of the need to restructure the cult’s organization in Europe.

The Headquarters Of The Gulenist Cult: Pennsylvania

Gulenist Cult leader Fethullah Gulen has been residing in a mansion in the Saylorsburg region of Pennsylvania since March 21, 1999. It is 140 kilometers from Manhattan, New York. The mansion, located on a very large tract of land of approximately 400 decares, draws attention with its large complex structure and the buildings around it. The mansion has a high level of security, including 36 cameras. Only four people, trusted by cult leader Fethullah Gulen, can enter the security room – even bedrooms are equipped with cameras. The areas Gullen uses are under 24-hour surveillance by a special team. Gulen and his right arm, Cevdet Türkyolu, stay in adjacent rooms. The FBI is positioned at the front, protecting the compound. There are two FBI officers in the security room 24 hours a day.

THE GULENIST CULT AND STOLEN QUESTIONS

Gulenist cult members have regularly stolen the questions and answer keys to public examinations in Turkey and victimized millions of citizens. The number of cult members who have been found to have stolen exam questions is estimated to be around 17,894. Public investigations have revealed that between 2005 and 2013, Gulenist cult members, among others, stole the questions to the Public Personnel Selection Exam (KPSS), and the exams for the Police College, the Police Academy, Assistant Commissioner, Judge Prosecutor, District Governor, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Consular Officer. Considering only the stolen exam questions for the 2010-2011 Public Personnel Selection Exam (KPSS), the Gulenist cult victimized around 260,000 citizens. The number of people who were prosecuted for stealing exam questions is 17,894. Moreover, 433 of the captured cult members admitted stealing exam questions. The number of cult members who were illegally given the exam questions often exceeded the examinee quotas. For instance, a total of 2,500 cult members were given the answer keys to the 2011 KPSS exam whereas the quota of the personnel to be accepted was only 1,200. Upon this, cult members were ordered to “compete among themselves.” Many cult defectors have confessed to this crime. For instance, Vahdettin Polat explained how exam questions were stolen in the past and which exam questions were sent to them. “We were also receiving the questions of exams prepared by the Measuring, Selection and Placement Center (ÖSYM), such as KPSS, Foreign Language Exam (YDS), and other exams,” he stated. The Gulenist cult has consistently stolen the questions and answers to the exams for hiring personnel in key state institutions in Turkey. The cult gave the answers to its members so that they could succeed in the exam and infiltrate government agencies.

REBELLION AGAINST CULT LEADER GULEN

Criticism has intensified within the Gulenist cult, especially against the leader Fethullah Gulen and the cult’s senior figures. Cult members are asking Gulen to confess to his role in the July 15 coup attempt, and are revealing the cult’s dark side by explaining its plots. Those rebelling against the cult administration have called cult leader Gulen “treacherous”, “a liar”, and “a sick soul.” The open criticism started on the website Kitalararasi and recently has increased on the website munferit.net.
