Watch: US Soldiers Assaulted By Turkish Mob After Navy Ship Makes Port Call At Izmir
On Monday a mob of Turkish men attacked American soldiers who had been walking the streets of Izmir in southern Turkey, apparently as the US personnel were on liberty after the USS Wasp which they are attached to made port call.
Social media video shows a group of men surrounding one US soldier and while violently constraining him. The Turkish men then stick a white bag over his head in an effort to humiliate and possibly kidnap the American and those with him. The brief clip then shows a couple more US troops jumping in to push the Turkish men off their fellow soldier.
A group of people put sack on the head of an American soldier allegedly serving on a US warship (USS Wasp) arrived at the port of Izmir, Türkiye.

Reuters has confirmed of the incident, “A nationalist Turkish youth group on Monday physically assaulted two U.S. soldiers in western Turkey, the U.S. Embassy in Turkey and the local governor’s office said, adding that 15 assailants had been detained over the incident.”
The same report says that a total of five other US soldiers quickly came to their fellow servicemember’s aid to fight off the attackers, after which local police quickly intervened.
The US Embassy in Turkey has subsequently confirmed the American personnel are safe after the incident, “We can confirm reports that U.S. service members embarked aboard the USS Wasp were the victims of an assault in Izmir today, and are now safe,” it said on X. There was no mention of injuries.
USS Wasp’te görevli ABD’li askeri personelin bugün İzmir’de saldırıya maruz kaldığını ve şu an güvende olduğunu teyit ederiz. Olaya hızlı müdahale etmelerinden ve olayla ilgili soruşturma başlatmalarından dolayı Türk makamlarına teşekkür ederiz.

We can confirm reports that…
The Izmir governor’s office identified that the attackers were part of an ultra-nationalist group called the Turkey Youth Union (TGB), which is associated with the opposition Vatan Party. The statement said that the Turkish group “physically attacked” two American soldiers who were in civilian clothes in the Konak district.
The assaulting group reportedly chanted “Yankee, go home!” while detaining at least one of the Americans. It all happened in broad daylight.
The UK Mirror details of the USS Wasp’s weekend port call:
The USS Wasp arrived in the port of Izmir on Sunday for a scheduled visit, with sailors and marines taken on tours organised by the ship’s Morale, Welfare, and Recreation team during while it is docked. Previously on a scheduled deployment to Europe, the Wasp was recently sent to the Mediterranean and Middle East amid rising tensions between Hezbollah and Israel along the border with Lebanon, and had made a stop in Turkey. It marked the first time that the Wasp had operated in the Mediterranean region since being moved back from Sasebo, Japan to Norfolk, Virginia in 2019.
Turkish journalist and regional correspondent Ragıp Soylu described that it was “A payback in their understanding for US soldiers placing sacks over Turkish soldiers operating in Northern Iraq almost 20 years ago.”
It appears that the whole incident then turned into an anti-American demonstration, and involved US Marines which the crowd tried to detain or essentially kidnap:

One commenter said that it is time to “kick Turkey out of NATO” and provided additional details as follows:
Second US soldier comes in trying to help his comrade but disengages shortly after receiving several punches – likely fearing an escalation, aware of the mob-mentality and readiness to use excessive violence by these elements of the Turkish society. Incident happened in the tourist area of Izmir close to the harbour where the USS Wasp aircraft carrier of the US navy is anchored.
However, Turkish investigators have yet to given an official motive. Likely it could also be connected with events in Gaza. Turkish-Israeli relations have of late reached a low point in modern history, and it is well understood in the region that US-supplied bombs and aircraft aid in Israel’s Gaza operations.
Such an attack on a group of American service personnel is incredibly rare in Turkey, which is a NATO country, given also the presence of several US military installations attached to bases in the country, and frequent US Navy port calls.
Editor’s note: More online critics are calling out Turkey’s role in NATO after the incident.
Why is the U.S. in NATO? Turkey is an ally. They do this. The UK is arresting people for social media posts. The EU is threatening Elon Musk. France is doing worse. What exactly are we doing in NATO? https://t.co/HWRVxswPk4

Health ‘Experts’ Claim RFK Jr. ‘Dangerous’ to Public Health, Will Undermine Vaccine Confidence
Health experts are worried Robert F. Kennedy Jr. could influence former President Trump’s public health policies in a second term, according to reports.
Trump tapped Kennedy to be part of his transition team, but he also hinted RFK Jr. would have a “big role” in his administration, and his former running mate Nicole Shanahan said he’d do an “incredible job” as secretary of Health and Human Services.
But other public health agencies are reportedly on the table for Kennedy to lead, such as the Centers for Disease Control and the National Institutes of Health.
And that’s what got all these health experts panicking.
From The Hill:
Trump’s son Donald Trump Jr. told conservative radio host Glenn Beck this month he would support Kennedy taking over a government agency to “blow it up.”
And this is exactly what many health experts fear would happen to a public health agency — like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention or the National Institutes of Health — with Kennedy at the helm.
“From a health perspective this would be nothing short of chaos,” said Robert Murphy, a professor of infectious disease at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine.
“He’s proven himself to be a dangerous fanatic who doesn’t have a science background and who doesn’t believe in science.”
“We’re in a lot of trouble if he has any role, any leadership position related to many things, but health in particular,” he added.
Specifically, given Kennedy’s stance against the COVID-19 shots, these health experts are worried he will engender a widespread policy of vaccine skepticism in the Trump administration.
Health officials are already concerned about falling vaccination rates among America’s children after the COVID-19 pandemic fueled vaccine skepticism, particularly in red states. Trump has promised to cut off federal funding to schools that require vaccines, further compounding those fears. Adding Kennedy to the mix risks further undermining public confidence in vaccines.
“The notion that RFK Jr. would have any say in who’s selected [to be part of Trump’s administration] is very worrisome to me and many of my colleagues in public health,” W. Ian Lipkin, the director of the Center for Infection and Immunity at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health, told The Hill.
“Many of us are old enough to remember what happened before there was a polio vaccine or a measles vaccine … there were millions of children that were adversely impacted due to the lack of protection from these types of diseases,” Lipkin said.
Even if Kennedy is not appointed to a public health position, Lipkin worried he could guide the former president toward placing people in top public health roles that would support cutting vaccine research or changing how vaccines are distributed.
Kennedy explained in a recent interview with John Stossel the corrupt relationship between the pharmaceutical industry and the government agencies that are supposed to regulate it.
Since Kennedy endorsed Trump last month and outlined his Make America Healthy Again initiative, the establishment has found itself in an awkward position and is now defending processed foods and Big Agriculture.
Health Ranger Mike Adams elaborated:
“We are now watching one of the most hilarious political pivots in history, where Democrats, reacting to the exploding #MAHA movement (Make America Healthy Again) with RFK + Trump, are now openly siding with processed foods, junk foods, pesticides, GMOs, toxic food ingredients and of course Big Pharma’s deadly vaccines,” he wrote on X Sunday.

To be a Democrat in 2024, you have to now embrace and even endorse mass-production toxic food factories, the mass vaccination of pregnant women, the mass murder of unborn babies, the mass poisoning of our youth with toxic food ingredients, all while claiming to want to “save the planet” with “green” policies. It’s beyond hilarious.
The Democrats stand for nothing but DEATH. They are the DEATH PARTY, pretending to be the party of “joy.” Exactly like the Third Reich. Years ago, I marched in the streets of Austin as part of the “March Against Monsanto.” It will filled with bleeding heart liberals who believed in clean food and organics. Today, those very same people believe in toxic processed foods, toxic vaccine jabs and toxic agriculture.
“The real CLEAN FOODS movement is now RFK+Trump,” he added.

Shock Video: Rapper Fatman Scoop, 53, Dies Suddenly After Collapsing On Stage
Rap artist Fatman Scoop, AKA Isaac Freeman III, passed away last week after collapsing on stage during a performance in Connecticut.
Freeman, 53, was rushed to the hospital after suffering a medical emergency while closing out Hamden’s 2024 free summer concert series.
Footage shows Freeman hyping up the crowd and walking onto a rafter towards the DJ booth, saying, “If you came to party, make some noise,” before collapsing.
I REALLY hope he comes out of this ok. Prayers up for Fatman Scoop. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾pic.twitter.com/rR9PxNkiaR

“Tonight, while performing at Hamden Town Center Park, Isaac Freeman, aka Fatman Scoop, had a medical emergency on stage,” wrote Hamden Mayor Lauren Garrett on Facebook, adding at the time he was “being transported by ambulance to the hospital.”
On Saturday, Freeman’s family released a message on Instagram notifying fans he’d passed away.
Freeman’s cause of death was not disclosed.
Fatman Scoop enjoyed fame in the late 90s with his chart-topping hit “Be Faithful,” remixing Faith Evans’ “Love Like This.”
He also had featured appearances on Missy Elliott’s “Lose Control,” and, “It’s Like That,” by Mariah Carey.
Freeman’s on-stage collapse and death is reminiscent of Houston rapper “Big Pokey,” who also died after collapsing during a performance.

In Big Pokey’s situation, many on social media suspected the experimental Covid-19 injections were to blame, especially in light of other similar sudden collapses documented in recent years.
However, this may not be the case in Freeman’s situation, as the rapper was documented pushing back against the Covid-19 vaccine early on during the pandemic, and saying he would refuse the jab.
“I’m really into health personally. I don’t want the vaccine,” Freeman told fellow rapper Lil Jon in an Aug. 2020 podcast. “I’ll take my chances with my own health. No vaccine for me.”
Did Fatman Scoop somehow eventually get pressured into taking the vaccine, or was his bizarre death, similar to others seen since the jab rollout, simply a coincidence?
