Secret Box

They say what two people know is not a secret.

What are these secrets?

We Turks call the thin layer that gives the surface a shiny effect, that is, the transparent or opaque varnish applied to the surface to protect it from external influences, "SIR".

Sırça is a Turkish word from history, meaning glass. We still use it as "Sırça köşk". When we met the Persians, we learned "glass", we left SIRÇA and started to call it glass, i.e. a glazed mansion, a glass mansion. If your house is made of glass, you won't break your neighbor's glass!

The Arabs say no, a secret is something else. A secret is a secret, it contains mystery. It has to be kept secret. If it's revealed, it's a scandal. Pandora's box, for example, if it is opened, all the dirt will spill out.

Don't make them open the box, don't make them say bad things.

Many negotiations take place behind closed doors, called state secrets. There are closed sessions in parliament, and what is discussed is only revealed years later. State secrets are important. It is inconvenient for every citizen to know them. They have friends and enemies. In order to get into that cosmic room, who and who was deceived and who was deceived. However, our country's secrets were there. The matter was closed.

There are trade secrets, you sign a document in advance, a confidentiality protocol. Our company will make money from the work it does, but the money it makes is nobody's business. If rival companies find out about the investment, they will do the same, and the desired profit cannot be obtained, so investments should be made secretly. Once the horse crosses Üsküdar, secrecy is no longer important. Trade secret is also important.

So what is this secrecy? What is it that is really being avoided? State secrets or trade secrets are important, I understand that, but what about the rest? 

First of all, if something is confidential, that is, if it has to be confidential, it is something that is intrinsically inconvenient for someone to know. And where is the limit? 

Maybe there is something inherently illegal about this secret. What if you are actually up to something secretive, for example, if you hide it from everyone because you think it would hurt you if someone finds out about something that should be secret to you? You are a trickster, maybe a murderer!

Nobody knows, and if you are the only one who knows, nobody can know unless you expose it. If two or more people know what is a secret, and if the secret is a crime, then the solidarity of criminals comes into play. Secrets cannot be revealed unless there is a conflict of interest. Everyone is benefiting from the situation nicely.

But there is a law, right? Who decides what should be secret and what should not be secret? There are judges in Ankara! There are public prosecutors, there are courts.

This is where certain values come into play. 

First of all, everyone has personal rights. Universal human rights. The law on privacy of personal data. Everyone is innocent until proven guilty, the presumption of innocence. Laws need to be in line with these values. 

But are they? Maybe on paper, yes. Law is a very elastic concept. Even in mathematics, some things are elastic, but in law, it is not, anyone can pull it in any direction they want. 

We often go back and forth between the conscience of the judge and contradictory laws. My lawyer friends probably know more in detail, so I won't comment too much on a subject I'm not an expert on. But I won't close my eyes either. Especially if you take into account some factors that affect the conscience of the judge, right, law and justice are just slogans as far as I can see.

There is also the concept of going behind the back, going behind the law. Interpreting it in the desired way, doing whatever is necessary to achieve the desired result, the power that has been obtained without listening to any universal value, neither conscience, rights nor law, and the power that has been obtained to take over all kinds of crimes as it wishes. Throw mud and leave a trace. Solidarity of criminals.

This is why secrets that everyone knows are covered up. There are too many criminals. Everyone is full of secrets. 

Someone says if I speak, there will be an earthquake. You tell them to speak, they keep quiet. Because it will end up hurting himself.

Someone comes out and really talks. We watch it all together like watching an exciting movie. Then, then again the solidarity of criminals. Same old, same old.

They even vaporized his bones inside the consulate, brutality, what brutality, it is incomprehensible. He says he won't let go until this life leaves this body, he says those who did this will be punished, he says, you who sold your soul for a penny, he says and says. You know the end.

Secrets, everyone is secretive, they keep quiet. They are waiting for their turn, those appointed to boards of directors are secrets, those on the tender commission are secrets, the son-in-law is a secret, the minister is a secret. His daughter is a secret cube, his son is a secret cube. There is a crowd of secret cubes around, they are all around, they are all waiting in line, they are all trying to get a seat, they call him the chief, they call him nothing else. They are all after lining their pockets, being secretive has become their livelihood, they know everything, but they keep quiet. Because they know that if those in charge lose, they will all lose. All of them have sworn to keep secrets, buried them inside, you say this is the way it is, the leader says, yes, there is a cost of living, but only he can solve it, there is no conscience, no trace, no fear of God. They have become supporters. They don't see anything else.

I think there are no secrets anymore, in fact, there are no secrets anymore. Everything is happening in front of the eyes, but nobody cares. As the old saying goes, the vein of shame has already cracked, and we live shamelessly as a society. Some of us are silently waiting to see when this administration, which has already lost its legitimacy, will change. 

Time will tell if we will be able to overcome the solidarity of criminals, the election is just around the corner, I am not losing hope. 

Let me end by saying that like the imam who tripped while descending from the minaret and passed away, everyone gets what they deserve. As long as we know that the imam was actually tripped by an orphan child, even if his mother doesn't know. 

Let this be our secret.

Love and respect to everyone from Moscow.
