The Age of Constitutional Coups
Paul Street | counterpunch.org | 2019-09-13
In 2017, in the wake of a failed military putsch the previous year, Turkey\'s prime minister Recep Erdogan held what the British journalist Patrick Cockburn rightly calls \"a blatantly rigged referendum which marginalized parliament and gave him dictatorial powers.\" Erdogan won a narrow majority that \"was only achieved late on election night when the head of the electoral board overseeing the election decided that votes not stamped as legally valid, numbering as many as 1.5 million, would be counted as valid.\" Erdogan then implemented a national educational curriculum that devalued secular liberal ideas and science…

The Pirates of Gibraltar
Sasan Fayazmanesh | counterpunch.org | 2019-09-13
On April 17, 2019, a tanker named Grace 1 left Iran for an unspecified destination with reportedly 2.1 million barrels of crude oil, worth some $130 million. According to a March 20 report in Reuters about how Iran tries to evade US sanctions, the Grace 1 was \"Panamanian-flagged and managed by Singapore-based shipping services firm.\" The Grace 1, TankerTrackers reported, was built in 1997 and, given its age and size, was not allowed to dock at many ports. It therefore had a history of handling ship-to-ship fuel oil transfers at sea. It would typically receive fuel oil from Iran, the source stated, and then delive…
