Coin-based financial and diplomatic affairs or the Coin-Standard among the USA-Turkey lines in 2000s, where the symbolic coin of the former president Bill Clinton visiting the post-earthquake sites with a baby framed the spirit of a new chapter for the new millennium. A reality version of the Slumdog Millionaire (Danny Boyle, 2008) with big nuance –if not Clint Eastwood’s Hillary Swank acting the female boxer Maggie in Million Dollar Baby (2005) or Adrian Lyne’s 1987 adultery film Fatal Attraction on the eve of the Monica Lewinsky Scandal, when fake pregnancies paved the way to the globalization of the abortion debates and dark or phony fictions of the early 2000s about the abortion psychologies in the Cold War Eastern Europe or the Victorian Commonwealth, symtomatizing the 9/11 trauma in the USA compared to the earthquake trauma in Turkey, continued with the drain of financial and Human Resources to the Global War on Terror, an effort to keep the world order in line, Financial Crisis, and the election slogans of “Change”.

“Abolish the Coin-Standard” has become a worldwide motto in the following decades in the aftermath of the Gezi Park Protests and the Shoe-Box Corruption Scandal in Turkey.

Symbolism has shown itself to be more powerful than the material of the coin itself, with the drains of “democratic finance” and “good” international affairs in the first two decades of the millennium. Coupled with the official Turkish-support for the Pizzagate Conspiracy Theory with Gulenists, and how their discourses militarize narratives and language in truly breathtaking plots of coup attempts, bedduas, ghostbusting, fatwas, kidnappings, cannibalisms and murder, the infamous and scandalous “Pelikan” group(s), then-rulers of the governing party JDP, and then established their own liberal-conservative parties Future Party and Deva Party.
