Signal session II just begun, the military subject was suggested by Turkish soccer team Galatasaray

For once, there is no bickering here

Listening to the second Signal Session at LEONISCAREFUL HQ, we can already, now on March 9, 2023 at 20:40, call it somewhat of a succes. There are voices to be heard from the international and national recruits of both army and, quite likely, a soccee player or two. The first signal session had not a single contestant. We guess about a dozen are actively tuned in here this eveninf and the subject: 'Galatasaray and Military Lifestyles,' is being discussed. Slowly but surely. A subject that is sensitive as well as long overdue in the European media of opinion and daily and weekly press that tend to focus mostly on budget, demographics and geopolitical tensions between countries. But always without questioning the presses own role in the machinery of a world that had gone small, in some aspects, in certain ways.

Here for a laugh too

We are here for a laugh too, most of all, we don't take ourselves too seriously and the events, as we had expected, do not draw a large following yet, even if they are free of charge, and we can't count the lurkers. But we guess they are represented too. 'I cannot have a dick anymore," an anonymous young soldier added to the discussion. This was the one subject we were trying to qvoid. The soldier and its homo-erotic attraction is what those that decide how many too many people are, are trying to shake off. This takea time. Because we tend to go on about it a bit too long or exaggerate how big it is. And just look at how beautiful they have become. So, seven invitees, quite a lot of new voices, half female half male and the sudden reqlisation that we should have maybe invited Onno Mechelsheim, general of the Dutch army, since Turkish affairs have been far removed from the hearts and minds of many Europeans since the coup dicided the nation about seven years ago, when authors, jpurnalists, intellectuals and critics were allegedly arrested by the numbers while a great unrest had assembled in filosophy the members of the Turkish army. Turkey had been an army led dictatorship before and the relation between the political establishment of the AK party led by president Erdogan and the Turkish army had remained a fragile one. President Erdogan was seen on television proclaiming a return to power with harsh punishments and demands to those who had organised the coup, reading what was instructed to him in Whatsapp apps. In fact, much of the country was in the hands of automation and folliwing generated messages after years of economical growth had made Turkey, a rich nation with a shady history of human rights that prevented them from becoming a member of the EU. A division arose, Dutch jpurnalist Ebru Amar was arrested while visiting her holiday home in Turkey and images we saw in media showed us a sturdy pact of a military coup to be.

Military lifestyles

The military lifestyles and the recreational aspect of this lifestyle, that attracts young people as well as new life or the regenerated, had had its fair share of scandals, mainly involving the subject of gender, sexual roles, non-binary opt-ins and the revolutions going on in IT, automation and technical enhancement and development that had creayed the ability to influence people, control them and, in case of the male soldier, equip them with a potential weapon of mass destruction, a weapon that was meant to make love in the first place. Galatasaray, a soccer team and one of the biggest in Turkey finds itself in the middle of a status quo that has lasted for many years now and our app and previous signal sessions, or taps, as well as our non-profit or low-profil concept, The alternative realities we visualise and the independence we have as a blog and Art Shop in the Netherlands aims to visualise alternative realities that had connected us.

Soccer, a source of information

Galatasaray is our main spurce of information from Turkey while at the same time, the team is one of the post-national and does not have an access all areas. We just happen to share the same ideas on the importance of the free word, the abolishment of censorship and the ability to act up against what had become a stock market driven and government instrument to control the markets even if it takes fabricating stories. For the rest we don't know much, the players are about half of them circumcised. if that matters at all. Somehow, the romantic ideal of the Turkish soldier was one of machismo, having become a peacekeeper and watchdog of democracy after the coup situation had settled again and president Erdogan was reinstalled into power. The relation between army and government will always be a fragile one, one that has the risk of overpowering national governments in their new post-national position. This is more or less the background against which we, in collaboration with Galatasaray, decided to open the lid slightly, one that has never been closed.l, but has intel acattered all over the place. The materials, the conventional weaponry, the computated areas, the chaotic migrations, the upbringing of youngsters, the freedom of labpur that digitalisation brought as well as the algorhhitm and automated responses that seemed to be in control of an entire nation, 8ncluding its president, the life cycles of the soldier, the toys for boys menrality, the exploration of new land and the connection with sattelite and space miasions in an increasingly money-driven capitalist system that tends to sell feelings and wmotions, ouw own selves, the sunlight and climate uf we are not aware of it. All have been topics to be discussed in the next Signal Session:
