![]() The Susurluk car crash, the event which lead to the coining of the phrase "deep state". |
1996 was an important year in the exposure of the deep state. In USA, Gary Webb was the first person to establish just how effective the WWW would be in circumventing the deep state controled commercially-controlled media. In Turkey the Susurluk car crash clearly confirmed a lot of people's supicions about a high level nexus of government and criminal leaders, and gave a word to describe this: the 'deep state'.

Dark alliance
175px|left In 1996 USA journalist Gary Webb published Dark Alliance, a series of articles which clearly detailed CIA involvement in the illegal drug trade. More importantly still, it proved the effectiveness of the emerging World Wide Web as a means of circumventing traditional commercially-controlled media. By posting a lot of evidence online, he had answers to those critics who attempted to discredit him.

Susurluk car crash
- Full article: Susurluk car crash
- Full article: Susurluk car crash
On 3 November 1996, an assassination was carried out by means of a car crash in Susurluk, Turkey. Three passengers were killed: Abdullah Çatlı (a drug trafficking assassin), his girlfriend (a beauty queen) & Huseyin Kocadağ (a former Istanbul Deputy police Chief), while the 4th passenger, Sedat Bucak MP, was injured. What is more, Çatlı was found carrying not only guns, a gun license, drugs, cash, a fake passport and apparently genuine diplomatic credentials issued by the Turkish government.
This proved too much for the deep state to conceal, and "for weeks on end the press and the TV channels were dominated by the scandal and the newest revelations of the corrupt 'Susurluk state'. Nearly 100,000 workers marched in protest in the Turkish capital demanding the truth about the stay-behind soldiers while people on the streets in opinion polls expressed their belief that the Turkish judicial system was not working properly and that the government was corrupt, declaring that they were sick and tired of all the violence and secret operations."[1] This top level corruption network was termed "'Derin devlet" in Turkish which translates into English as the "deep state".
