You’re welcome. My 2000+ word article on former FBI translator-turned-whistleblower Sibel Edmonds is now featured in the March 2010 edition of Hustler. Sorry, she’s wearing all her clothes. Go buy it anyway.
The article brings the story of Edmonds, who was twice-gagged by the Bush Administration’s outrageous use/abuse of the “States Secrets Privilege,” fully up to date following her naming of names, finally, under oath, in remarkable testimony last summer. (Some of those names: Hastert, Burton, Blunt, Lantos, Schakowsky, Wolfowitz, Perle, Grossman, etc.)
The Hustler piece, “Sibel Edmonds: The Traitors Among Us,” also explores reasons for the perhaps-even-more-remarkable complete avoidance of her 4-hour, detailed, video-taped testimony by the corporate media (Pat Buchanan’s American Conservative magazine excepted, if you consider them to be “corporate media”) concerning allegations of blackmail of sitting U.S. Congressmembers, the theft and sale of nuclear secrets to the foreign black market, and other allegations of treasonous activities by top State and Defense Department officials over the last decade or more, as we have covered in great detail here at The BRAD BLOG over the years, as the story has unfolded.
So there’s your latest excuse to go buy Hustler. While you’re at the newsstand, please pick up a copy of the February issue of Maxim as well, featuring Simon Worrall’s feature article on the formerly-‘censored’ story of the mysterious death of GOP IT guru Mike Connell, as detailed in our recent exclusive preview.
Who knew the stories reported almost exclusively by The BRAD BLOG and a handful of others in the independent progressive media were so darn sexy?! Sorry, gals. If Playgirl wants a story, I’ll be happy to write one for them next time.
Great, will try to link at other sites…wish it was in say, Rolling Stone instead :), but I will support any publisher that allows ignored stories out.
Such a bombshell of unrefuted allegations on scary national securuty issues, from a rational, credible, photogenic woman and yet so ignored…
don’t forget, kinky girl on girl blackmail, we’re talking juicy stuff. Salacious morsels like this ought to have cable bobble heads babbling for weeks, but…………crickets.
“Sibel Edmonds is now featured in the March 2000 edition of Hustler. Sorry, she’s wearing all her clothes. Go buy it anyway.”
March 2000?
I’m sure Playgirl has all they can handle with Levi Johnston…
Maxim I could justify to the boss, with the article. Hustler…hoo boy, that’d be a gamble.
😛
Whoops! 2010 natch. Typo fixed. Thanks, SUS!
The chick isn’t nakid?? LOL Not that I would care with my orientation…
Hey what happened to that Ann Coulter story of yours? I tried to comment on it but you shut it down. What did you do that for?
I didn’t read the whole thing as it was very long. What I was looking for is any proof that she voted in two locations in the same election. Are you saying that? What happened to the investigation? Is it over yet if there really was one?
What were the results? I do know she isn’t in jail. You know as a citizen Ann has the right to vote just like you do. Just once of course.
I have to tell you that there is nothing wrong with using your parents address for purposes of residency. It you have a tie in a certain place you can by all means vote there if you have a place you can use for residency. At best what you are alleging is a very technical violation which should at the very worst result in her being kicked off the rolls if she is still on them. If you are going to apply this standard to Ann than the same should be required for everyone which could affect lots of military and college attending young people who don’t own a house yet.
The first Bush (41) used a small alley filled with trash so he and Barb could vote in Texas. I used my parents address while I lived in Florida while in the Navy in the 80’s. Should I be in jail too?
Hey Brad;
Maybe you can purchase and post a (nekked-babe) body scan on her from a local TSA (Tourism Supression Agency) racketeer after the next time she’s gotta’ fly commercial ~

As a gay man I can’t believe I’m buying Maxim and now Hustler!
But thanks for all the hard work keeping these stories out there, even if their media outlets leave me a little flaccid.
re: JR McCommas;
When I was in the Air Force, though I joined in Georgia, I submitted a declaration of residency for Texas (no income tax then). Consequently, I could petition the appropriate State bureaucracy for a ballot. Now, regarding that circumstance, because I had no specific address, I could only vote for Federal and state-wide offices. Anyway, Texas liked for military personnel to do this because it expanded their citizenship roles for the purpose of Federal tax revenues.
What (M)Ann Coulter did was that she was a registered voter in one state, and then she registered in another location, and still cast her ballot in a third location in Florida. Technically, she broke the law. Technically, Al Capone also broke the law.
Anyway, if you want to check up on my accuracy, Brad has all the lurid details in his archives if you really do have the disposition to actually study the matter.
DanD
Uh;
Just wondering Brad, if Playgirl promised extensive coverage of an issue, would you do a BR spread?
DanD
Outstanding work, Brad!!!!
SO proud of you.
Keep up the good work.
I will do my best to spread the news on Sibel.
The media is such a corporate sell-out- no help for our nation there. Will use blogs and commentaries.
Thanks,
Pat
DanD @ 10:
Have a feeling I may regret asking this, but, um, what’s a “BR spread”?
John R. McCommas @ 6 said:
Which one? Have done, perhaps, hundreds on her voter fraud by now. Most important stories in the series are indexed here: https://bradblog.com/CoulterFraud.
The comments for all stories automatically shut down after X number of days (I think it’s currently set for 14 or 21, as I recall). It’s difficult enough to keep my eyes on comments in recent stories, much less the 7000+ in the archives, so comments are only open on the recent stories. Sorry. Nothing nefarious, as you seem to be suggesting.
As far as I know, she didn’t. That was never the allegation. She did, however, knowingly vote at the wrong precinct in Florida in 2006, knowingly lied as to her residence on her voter registration form there, and also knowingly lied on her drivers license application there. A total of 1 first degree misdemeanor and 2 third degree felonies. All the evidence to prove those points conclusively can be found at the link I offered you above.
As to the additional allegations that she may have voted at least twice in CT while being a resident of NY (which is illegal), that investigation is still underway to the best of knowledge, by the State of CT’s Board of Elections. Others have been found guilty in CT of same, and even less. Just FYI.
The statue of limitations clock was purposely run out on the FL charges, after her former FBI boyfriend inappropriately interceded (u can read the coverage at the link above), and additional help from her former Bush-admin attorney.
There is no statue of limitations for voter fraud charges in CT, so hopefully she will be held accountable there.
Of course. But she must do so legally. Just like you do.
You can tell me anything you want. The law, however, is what matters. Clearly, you’re not particularly familiar with it, as it pertains either in the state of FL or CT. Or, as it has been applied, for much more minimal infractions (cases where votes weren’t even cast!), by the Republicans over the last several years who had an interest in prosecuting bogus “voter fraud” cases as a way to support their political contention that millions of legal (largely Democratic-leaning) voters should be deprived their legal right to vote and as a very helpful way to distraction from the real concerns for election integrity which is election fraud (versus voter fraud) by election insiders who run elections where a single one of them can flip an entire election in about 30 seconds with little likelihood of detection.
As the link I gave u in the graf above shows, folks have been jailed and even deported by the Bush DoJ for far less egregious crimes that the ones Coulter committed and/or has been alleged to have committed. So your opinions, while welcome, have little merit and even less to do with the law as it has been applied by the DoJ over the last decade or so.
Happy to apply the same standard to Coulter as to everyone else. She, and her fellow GOP “voter fraud” fraudsters, seem to feel differently however, and choose only to prosecute selective cases. Namely, only those don’t include powerful Republican superstars.
If what you did was illegal, you should be held appropriately accountable for it, no matter your political inclination.
That said, what you describe in the graf above, has nothing to do with what Coulter has been accused of. As you mentioned you hadn’t actually read what she has been accused of, you’re welcome to get back to me when you have any idea what they hell you’re talking about.
Congratulations. You are reaching an audience who really does matter.
But . . . will you pose?
Now that would be worth the price!
Love your blog.

Sorry, gals. If Playgirl wants a story, I’ll be happy to write one for them next time.

Brad;
I knew I could get you to bite … a “BR” spread, like what Playgirl did with BURT REYNOLDS.
DanD
Dan –
Ah. I’d have to consider that carefully. If there was any money involved, it’d likely be a no brainer, cuz you guys almost never give a guy a break!
Suzan –
See above. (P.S. For years have had sign on my wall that says “Welcome to Pottersville”. Thought you’d like to know. Folks who don’t understand that, see Suzan’s URL.)
Article in Maxim is excellent. Please buy a copy, it encourages future publication of this type of material.
Thanks for the shoutout, Brad.
Pottersville (which we are fast becoming) has been one of my favorite metaphors for our time since the Cheney/Bush junta.
Thanks for all you do to keep us informed!

Totally off topic …
WTF ?
“A DOJ job listing at its official Web site reveals that its Civil Rights Division is seeking 10 “experienced” trial attorneys for its Voting Section in Washington, D.C. and is encouraging “qualified applicants with targeted disabilities to apply.””
“Justice Department seeking lawyers with ‘mental retardation’“
No chance for justice when Traitors run free! Bush or Obama what’s the differance?
Brad,
What are the odds of Maddow, Olberman, Randi Rhodes, Stephanie Miller, Thom Hartmann, Ed Schultz, Mike Pappantonio, RFK Jr, Amy Goodman, and/or anyone else picking up this story. Perhaps they can interview you about the story as an ad for Larry Flint’s publication?
The difference? Well, as dishonesty reigns in American society and intellectual talent delves into the malicious, the half-white guy can do so much more damage ’cause he’s less inbred.
DanD
Thank you Brad. NOw the next thing for Hustler to do is a report on the voting scandal
AT – Hustler has reported on it. Repeatedly and rather thoroughly over the years. I’ve written several of those reports myself. They’ve covered the Clint Curtis/Tom Feeney/Ray Lemme story, the Steve Heller Diebold Whistleblower story, the Ohio ’04 scam, the Mike Connell story and even the Ann Coulter’s Voter Fraud Felony story!
As a matter of fact, when it comes to corporate media outlets, Hustler has likely had, hands down, the best election fraud coverage over the last 5 or 6 years of anyoutlet in the country!
Which, unfortunately, just gives sanctimonious christicans an easy way to discredit it all.
Larry Flynt , an American hero.
He is up there with the greats. So are you Brad.
I refuse to buy a Hustler mag (nor would I purchase a male meat grinder), but I’ll read Brad’s piece on Larry Flynt’s website: http://larryflynt.com/?p=693 Glad he published it and it’s getting a broader audience than American Conservative’s. New Orleans rags won’t touch it. Probably afraid of being bullied by Bob Livingston. He hangs with a rough crowd, according to Edmonds.
Have re-opened comments. They had auto-closed based on date of the older item before I re-dated this for the updated info and I hadn’t noticed. Apologies.
The corporate media’s refusal to cover this story is by far a larger moral outrage than all the naked women in Hustler. Strangely, Sibel Edmonds is probably the only government whistle-blower I that I really would like to see naked. Maybe that could be Bradblog exclusive someday…
Who would have thought that the publisher of Hustler had more moral courage than Maddow, Olbermann, the people at The Nation, etc. ?
We truly are the United States of Oceania.
As beautiful as Sibel is ,I would much rather see her “exposed” by the Main Stream Media in full. How can America comment on other “rogue countries” whilst hiding Sibels revelations.
Maybe people are starting to listen — the House Foreign Affairs Committee passed the Armenian genocide resolution over the objections of the Obama administration. I was pleased that my rep Barbara Lee is not among those Congresswomen who’s been paid off by the Turkish government. How the Turks can push the U.S. government around in the first place is beyond me.
