The Mastermind presents an elaborate history of the global Jewish conspiracy.
The Mastermind, a documentary aired repeatedly on Turkey’s pro-government television channel, presents an elaborate “history” of an international Jewish conspiracy from Moses to the present day. The title takes its cue from a speech by Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan blaming an unnamed “mastermind” for orchestrating the various problems afflicting his country. Burak Bekdil writes:
