OLIGARCHY is the
form of governing by a few unvirtuous people, The
name is said to be
from Greek word "OLIGOS" meaning "few" plus
"ARCHEIN"
meaning "to rule". [31]
The Greek word
"OLIGOS", when rearranged as "OSLIG O" or "O
OSLIG", is
an anagram of
Turkish phrase "AZLIG O" ("azlik o") meaning "it is
few". Thus,
this Greek word "OLIGOS" also has its origin in Turkish.
The so-called
"Greek" term "ARCHEIN", when decrypted as
"ERHACIN", is
an anagram of
Turkish expression "ER HAKAN" meaning "Ruler Man".
Hence, the word is
again from a Turkish source.
When we put these
two parts together, we get "AZLIK ER HAKAN" meaning
"Few men are
the rulers" - which is what OLIGARCHY is all about.
However, there is
another dimension to the etymology of OLIGARCHY.
While the term
OLIGARCHY is defined as a form of government in which
power is vested in
a few unvirtuous people, it also implies a selfish
or self-serving
form of government.
The term OLIGARCHY
when rearranged letter-by-letter as "GAROCILYH" is
an anagram of Turkish
expression "GARACILUK" (i.e., GARACI'LIK,
karaci'lik,
çingenelik, yalniz kendi çikarlarini düsünme,
sömürgecilik)
meaning "gypsyhood", "brigandhood",
"highwaymanship",
"trickstership",
"he who thinks of only his own interests and to hell
with the rest",
and "colonialism". Thus this Turkish term "GARACILUK"
perfectly explains
the implied meaning of OLIGARCHY. The Turkish word
"GARACI"
(karacI) is defined as: 1. Gypsy; 2. brigand, highwayman; 3.
Trickster. [32]
Thus, OLIGARCHY is
actually the form of governing by a few unvirtuous
"GARACI"
minded people. Hence, it can be said that the etymological
definition of
"oligarchy" given in the dictionary as being [Greek
"oligarchia"
from "oligos" meaning "few" + "archein" meaning
"to
rule"] [33] is
not totally truthful. Actually the term OLIGARCHY
could have been
defined as a form of governing by a few GARACI Lords
(Gypsy Lords) or as
a GARACI (Gypsy) system of governing. It seems
that the definition
has been laundered in order not to mention the
term
"Garaci". Additionally, the name of Turkish is never mentioned
as source for these
terms.
Related to this
word is the word "OLIGARCH" meaning "a member of an
oligarchy".
The term "OLIGARCH" is an anagram of Turkish expression
"OLI
GARaCI" (Garaci oglu) meaning "son of Garachi" (son of Gypsy).
The Greek letter
"H" (in fact an "I") is used as a double identity
symbol in
anagrammatizing the Turkish letter "I". Of course, a "son
of Garaci"
(son of Gypsy) is also a member of the Garaci family.
Hence, an
"OLIGARCH" is a member of an oligarchy. This again meets
the definition of
the word. It is quite obvious that all these
so-called
"Greek" words are actually stolen Turkish expressions
camouflaged by way
of anagrammatization. This is similar to the
swindling of the
ancient Turanian trinity Sky-God Oguz religion, Oguz
language and Oguz
names in ancient Middle Eastern cabalistic centers.
Thus, the ancient
OLIGARCHs, (i.e., the members of Oligarchy) have not
only usurped the
wealth and culture of the people that they ruled, but
have also changed
the identities of the ruled people. This is an
intentional
"assimilation" designed to obliterate the original
ethnicity of the
ruled people (e.g., the ancient non-Greek IONS
(AY-HANS) are now
regarded as Greek and the ancient CANAANS (KÜN-HANS
or KAN-HANS) are
now regarded as Semitic). Ancient Tur/Turk peoples
have been the
subject of such assimilations at least since the first
millennium B.C. up
to the present times and are still the target for
additional
assimilation at present. For example, it seems that the
wish of Turkey to
become part of the European Union (EU) is going to
play right into the
hands of another such assimilation. Once they are
in the bag, they
will not be able to get out of it so readily. Using
what has taken
place in the past as an example, Turks will most likely
be obliterated from
history in not-so-distant future and/or
assimilated and
molded into identities that are totally alien to the
name
"Tur" or "Turk".
