The (Öcalan and PKK) Card: An Intelligence Plot to Abort the Kurdish National Dream

An Intelligence-Political Analysis in Light of the New Middle East Map

In a controversial image broadcast by Kurdistan24, Abdullah Öcalan is seen seated calmly in a closed room, surrounded by six men in what appears to be a peaceful, orchestrated setting. The image sparked intense debate in Kurdish nationalist circles, especially as it emerged during a silent yet pivotal moment in international efforts to redraw the Middle East map and revise the Lausanne Treaty.

But what if that man isn’t actually Öcalan?
What if those six men are not negotiators, but Turkish intelligence officers trained in psychological warfare?
And what if the single piece of paper before him is not a peace declaration, but a scripted message of submission?

Hypothesis: A Calculated Turkish Intelligence Operation

Through a thorough analysis of body language, political symbolism, and historical context, a credible hypothesis emerges:

What we’re seeing is not a peace negotiation, but a staged scene directed by Turkish intelligence.

1. The setting indicates a pre-arranged scenario:
•       No visible guards, devices, or signs of incarceration.
•       A single document in front of “Öcalan” suggesting a pre-written message.
•       An excessive calm and neutral facial expressions indicate rehearsed behavior.

2. The possibility that this is not the real Öcalan:
•       Differences in body shape and facial features.
•       Lack of the usual revolutionary spark in the eyes.
•       Turkey’s intelligence agencies are known for psychological operations and for creating visual/audio replicas.

The Deeper Political Context: Öcalan Opposes a Kurdish Nation-State

In the alleged statement read in the meeting, Öcalan claims that the PKK has abandoned the goal of establishing a Kurdish nation-state and calls on Kurds to end their struggle for independence.

This position isn’t new. It stems from a radical Stalinist-Marxist ideology that sees national identity as secondary to class struggle and global socialism.

➤ Yet the contradiction is staggering:

The Turks—whom Öcalan is supposedly negotiating with—have never abandoned their own nation-state identity.
They build all their institutions and policies on the slogan:
“One Nation, One Flag, One Language, One Religion.”

So how can a Kurdish leader negotiate away his people’s dream while his opponents cling tightly to their own national identity?

The answer is clear: Öcalan—or whoever is speaking for him—has become nothing more than a tool in the hands of the Turkish state.

The Real Objective: Sabotaging Kurdish Independence at a Critical Moment

We are standing at the threshold of a historical transformation where the old regimes that created destruction across the region are collapsing:
•       Turkey, Iran, Iraq, and Syria are becoming expired entities.
•       The New Middle East Map, supported by global powers such as the United States and Israel, opens a unique path to liberation for oppressed nations—especially the Kurds.

Kurdish independence today is not merely about having a flag. It’s about:
•       Sovereignty of will
•       Economic independence
•       Strategic alliance with the West and Israel
•       Breaking the backbone of Turkish-Iranian-sponsored terror

Hypothetical Intelligence Scenario:

 “Operation Shadow Cage”

This operation was likely launched months ago, designed to reintroduce a “reformed” Öcalan to the Kurdish public and the world—a man who appears moderate, non-nationalist, and open to assimilation under the Turkish system.

Stages of the operation:
1.      Recruiting or creating a physical double of Öcalan (visually and vocally).
2.      Training six intelligence officers to appear as civilian negotiators.
3.      Staging the image with symbolic items (single sheet of paper, water glasses, calm expressions).
4.      Distributing it through compromised or manipulated Kurdish media.

The Objective?
•       To psychologically disarm the Kurdish population.
•       To divide the nationalist base from the loyalist PKK factions.
•       To weaken the momentum toward independence, just as regional regimes are collapsing.

Article Conclusion:

This is a battle more dangerous than bullets. It is a war of narratives, symbolism, and psychological control.
The “fake Öcalan” operation isn’t just manipulation—it’s an attempted assassination of the Kurdish national project.

But history is merciless toward traitors and those who shake hands with executioners in the name of peace.

If Kurds do not hold tightly to their right to full independence today, they will not be defeated by weapons, but by forged statements and manufactured images.

Final Appeal:
To the Kurdish people in Northern Kurdistan,
To our youth in Diyarbakir, Mardin, Şırnak, Amed, Van…
Do not be deceived by a silent man behind a desk.
Look at the world around you: Iraq is fragmenting, Iran is collapsing, Syria is a corpse…
And you—you have a historic opportunity to build a nation.
