What The Heck is the Sibel Edmonds Case Anyway? And Why Should You Care About It?

Share article:

Brad Friedman, from St. Louis, MO…

If you’ve followed our recent blockbusters about FBI translator-turned-whistleblower, Sibel Edmonds (the latest, in which legendary 1970’s whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg describes her case as “far more explosive than the Pentagon Papers,” is here), but remain unclear on the heart of what she has to expose — if she’s ever able to expose it — our friend Lukery at Let Sibel Edmonds Speak, offers a good summation today, as culled from his near-encyclopedic knowledge of the case. If you’re unclear on things, and it’s easy to be, given the scope of her allegations, please read his piece today.

You may also wish to see our handy bullet-point version of the breadth of cover-ups that she is ready to risk prison in order to disclose in full by defying her absurd five-year long “gag order” by the DoJ.

Lukery points us to Philip Giraldi’s column on Edmonds from the American Conservative (yes, the American Conservative), which Edmonds has described as “the most accurate summary of my case”. According to Giraldi…

Sibel Edmonds, the Turkish FBI translator turned whistleblower who has been subjected to a gag order could provide a major insight into how neoconservatives distort US foreign policy and enrich themselves at the same time. On one level, her story appears straightforward: several Turkish lobbying groups allegedly bribed congressmen to support policies favourable to Ankara. But beyond that, the Edmonds revelations become more serpentine and appear to involve AIPAC, Israel and a number of leading neoconservatives who have profited from the Turkish connection.

The Giraldi piece is short and to the point, and described by Edmonds as “100% right”, so we recommend you give it a quick read.

As Luke further explains in his helpful summation:

Sibel’s case involves illegal weapons sales, money laundering, drug trafficking, nuclear black market, terrorism and the corruption of the US Govt.

Sibel has already named names (though not all) – Richard Perle, Douglas Feith, William Cohen, Marc Grossman, Eric Edelman, Dennis Hastert, Bob Livingston and others – and she has also named the countries involved: Turkey, Israel, Pakistan, the other ‘Stans – and of course the US.

He also offers a few contacts for some of the media outlets we mentioned in our exclusive yesterday, as having so far failed to take up Edmonds’ couragous offer to hand them one helluva blockbuster interview. We’re happy to repost those contacts here for you, as without noise from the public (that would be you!), the American corporate media will continue to avoid the issue like the plague, and the bad guys will simply keep smiling from the shadows…

  1. My message to various media inlets listed above, as well as CNN and NPR:

    In telling the story of Sibel Edmonds, history will portray the press as co-conspirators in tyranny. NeoCon factions now rely on you, and your media colleagues, to keep the US public ignorant of essential but concealed truths about 9-11 and the role of many government agencies in creating the crisis and eluding accountability for it.

    In view of court mandates in the context of a GOP-dominated congress, your silence about Ms. Edmonds’ allegations may, until recently, have been justifiable. With her recent expressions of willingness to risk prison to tell her story, it is no longer!

    Rush Limbaugh calls you “drive-by media,” although until recently I’ve seen you as “asleep at the wheel.” Lately, I regard you as DUI: “driving under the influence” of corruption.

    WAKE UP!

    CLEAN UP YOUR ACT!

    DO YOUR JOB!

    LET SIBEL TELL HER STORY!

  2. Suggestion…contact Dan Rather and have him interview her and post on youtube. This will force big media coverage for two reasons the first being Rather being involved, and the second because Rather is involved with a major story that they have neglected.

    Problem solved!

    Matt

  3. Can someone please answer this simple question for me.

    “How is it possible that these well known gov. officials overheard by Edmonds did not realize that their conversations on the phones would be picked up by the NSA?”

    These are individuals with long years of experience in the workings of the US government!!!
