The Big Fib



The initial
questions about the Boston bombing are behind us, but former FBI
employee Sibel Edmonds believes the pursuit of truth will eventually
lead to a far more secret agenda by the US, which she reveals to
RT.

The United
States is having to quickly wake up to the possibility that Chechens
are not the ‘freedom fighters’ Western media has been
categorizing them as, especially when it came to the RepublicÂ’s
relationship to Russia. But even the newly formed perceptions may
not be enough when it comes to investigating the motives and planning
behind the Boston bombing, according to Edmonds, who is also a founder
of the National Security Whistleblowers Coalition.

With the dust
somewhat settled after the capture of the younger suspect, Dzhokhar
Tsarnaev, Edmonds believes there will only be more unanswered questions
in an investigation already plagued by obvious inconsistencies and
falsities, which she recounts at length.

RT:
We’ve learned in the last hour that Russia
warned the FBI
about the older Tsarnaev brother and his potential
links with radical Islamists, but the FBI found nothing suspicious.
How is that possible?

Sibel Edmonds:
Actually, we predicted that the unnamed foreign country [Western
media didnÂ’t name the source immediately] was in fact Russia,
two days ago. We have too little facts, too much false information
and speculations. But just look at the period they are talking about.
When you listen to the suspectÂ’s mother, sheÂ’s talking
about a period of three to five years. According to FBI officials,
they received this information, this warning, in 2011. So we have
that inconsistency right there. The other important inconsistency
that we should pay attention to is the motherÂ’s description
of FBI mannerisms and conversation with the suspects and the family
when they were visiting them for the last three to five years. That
fits exactly the recruitment style of the intelligence community.
When you go to the suspects, and one moment you’re saying “We
know youÂ’re decent, we know youÂ’re doing nothing wrong,
we know you’re good”, and the next minute they’re
saying “You can be dangerous”, right after receiving that
information from the Russian government, to threaten them with that
information for what purpose – to recruit them as informants
or for other agendas.

RT:
We spoke to the mother last night. She said there is no way on earth
they could have been involved in a heinous crime like this, that
she knew everything about them and they could not have been potential
terrorists. However, could there be another side to these people
that they didnÂ’t even let their mother know, is that not feasible?

SE:
Well, again, we donÂ’t have real information from our source
in the last 48hours. I found out that they had been associating
the brothers – especially the older one –with very wealthy
individual Turkish persons, some of them students in Boston, some
businessmenÂ…really modern people. And we havenÂ’t received
any information that they [the brothers] had been associating with
Chechens, even the radicals. So that itself is another major inconsistency
in this story.

RT:
Similarities are being drawn between the ‘pressure cooker’ bombs
used in Boston and those which Al Qaeda gets English-speaking terrorists
to use. Just how much does this prove in terms of the bombers’ links
with the terrorist group?

SE:
Again, itÂ’s way too early to comment on this and I think that
whole notion right now sounds really, really weak. Because the US
government, when it is convenient, one minute talk about how sophisticated
Al Qaeda has become – in fact they’re as sophisticated
as the NSA [US National Security Agency] – they are talking
about their ability to obtain laptop, or suitcase bombs, nuclear
bombsÂ…and the next moment they are talking about this amateurish
home-made ability. So, as far as the government is concerned, I
think itÂ’s too early to buy this either from the US media or
the government.

This situation
is really similar to the Bin Laden shooting. Every day the story
changed. And this is what we are going to see in the next few days.
They are going to change the story, they are going to throw so much
confusion and inconsistencies and conflicting data that no one is
going to figure out what actually happened, especially if the second
suspect dies.

RT:
There’s been a tendency in the Western media to portray armed groups
in the Chechnya as freedom fighters. Is that going to change at
all after this?

SE:
We all have to really look at the timing of this, because again
the US media is portraying this incident by itself. ItÂ’s not
putting it in the context of things that have been happening in
the past – let’s say one year so – or recent stuff
– we had this case of NGOs being shut down by the Russian government,
which was a very smart move, because we know that the majority of
these NGOs have CIA agendas, as theyÂ’re operated and managed
by CIA people. And this is one way of infiltrating Russia by the
US government, the CIA.

So, if you
start putting these in context and also add the fact that Russia
has been the biggest obstacle for the United States to get in and
directly attack Syria – that’s when you start to see the
bigger picture and thatÂ’s what the people should be paying
attention to. Again, the false information that is being put forth
by US media is that since the fall of the Soviet Union the United
States has refrained from intervening in the Russia-Chechnya situation.
And that is purely false. Since mid-1990Â’s, the US directly,
or through Turkey has been arming, training, managing, orchestrating
not only Chechens but also other factions in the region – and
we are looking at Central Asia and the Caucasus.
