Indeed, the world doth have many piles of prairie grass to be LIT. After the NYSE closed for the weekend but while CME‘s electronic markets were still trading news broke about a COUP in Turkey. To readers of NOTES, this possibility was forecast in a post from October 15, 2015. The coup was not a surprise but the execution of the COUP was a comedy of errors (except for the deaths) as the leaders failed to prevent any communication from President Erdogan. In the world of social media the first action OUGHT to have been the jamming of all radar and wireless communication so that the overthrowers of the elected government would have a monopoly over all messages. It seems that George Friedman of Stratfor was the first to doubt the ability of the military conspirators and announced that the coup had failed.
