 Grozny Chechnya, with help from Islamist separatist “freedom fighters”

by Joe Giambrone

Russia’s intelligence service, the FSB, is working quite a bit harder and more competently to try and protect the American people than are the CIA and the FBI, combined.  This is not even an exaggeration.  FSB warned FBI of Tamerlan Tsarnaev in 2011 and then again after his return to the US in 2012.  It showed evidence that he had met a radical Islamist militant leader six times while in Russia.

FBI, on the other hand, told America it had never heard of Tamerlan Tsarnaev before, a clear lie, since they had interviewed him and his family, now admitted.  CIA had Tamerlan added to the TIDE watch list system, but for some inexplicable reason he wasn’t automatically “flagged” on his return to the United States.  Hmmm.  How could that be?

What is emerging here is the picture of manipulation behind the scenes.  There is something very wrong about this bombing case, so wrong that it demands immediate takeover by a non-compromised body to investigate criminal wrongdoing inside the US government itself – or is that an impossibility?  No one ever breaks the law or compromises security in the government?  The media would have us believe that the government is only capable of making “mistakes” and “missteps” and committing “incompetence.”  Nonsense.  Where’s Frank Church when you need him?

One hell of a monkey wrench has dropped into the case of the brothers Tsarnaev.  Uncle Ruslan, famous for calling them “losers” repeatedly, has very close ties to the CIA.  How close?  Uncle Ruslan was married to the daughter of a top CIA official, one Graham E. Fuller.

Who is Graham E. Fuller?

If this isn’t followed up by the media, then we are already living in Orwell’s worst nightmare.  Mr. Fuller wrote the “think piece” that inspired the Iran/Contra incident!  He was station chief in Kabul, Afghanistan.  He is an expert on “Islamic extremism” and writes books about the future of “Political Islam.”  Mr. Fuller was a CIA heavyweight, and has a familial relationship with Ruslan Tsarni/Tsarnaev, the frothing uncle of the two alleged Boston Marathon bombers.

Who is Ruslan then?

The curious CIA smoking gun comes in 1995, when uncle Ruslan establishes a front group called the “Congress of Chechen International Organization.”  The address listed for this organization is … Graham E. Fuller’s home address!  This stuff is too obvious to even work in a Hollywood B movie plot.  Several years after this time Chechnya explodes into Islamic separatist Jihad against the Russians, with massive loss of life.

Ruslan is also into oil, that being Kasakhstan’s oil.  The brother’s uncle is a “well-connected oil executive who at one point worked for a Halliburton shell company used as a front to obtain oil contracts from the Kazakh State.”  Daniel Hopsicker’s explosive investigation casts the uncle in a new light, even linking Ruslan to a $6Bn fraud and money laundering scheme.  Does he sound credible now?

So what the hell is going on here?

Israeli intelligence outfit DebkaFile called it before anyone had this information.  Israeli analysts said: Tsarnaev brothers were double agents who decoyed US.

“The Tsarnaevs’ recruitment by US intelligence as penetration agents against terrorist networks in southern Russia explains some otherwise baffling features of the event…”

Unsaid by Debkafile was the obvious family tie to CIA, which the Israelis must surely have known but did not reveal.  Also unmentioned were the presence of military contractors at the marathon, which remains the biggest mystery yet.

Independent journalist David Lindorff tried to get some simple answers to some simple questions about the black jacketed, black backpack wearing, khaki pants and boots operatives at the finish line of the 2013 Boston Marathon.  The runaround and stonewalling he faced came straight out of Terry Gilliam’s Brazil.  There are no answers, not a one.  No one in government, nor at the company, will even acknowledge that they were there despite appearing in myriad photos and videos from the bombing and aftermath.

UPDATE:

“Apparently the men in photos were National Guard CST Civil Support Team, but this is not confirmed by the government. This government has no obligation to respond to the people’s requests for information. Likely this stonewalling by government is a tactic to INCREASE CONFUSION about this event and ensure that MISINFORMATION spreads. Why would the government want to increase the misinformation out there concerning what happened in Boston? As I said, it’s a tactic.”

Curiously, they were seen conversing with an FBI bomb squad person immediately after the blasts, leading to some speculation of a relationship between the contractors and the FBI.

Of course we know that military contractors, in this case Craft International, also work with and for the CIA.  That’s the defining characteristic of mercenaries: they work for whichever agency or entity is paying them.  Mercenary contractors can remain secret, also, and beyond the oversight of curious, pesky congressmen.  So far efforts to establish this chain of employment have been blocked by a secretive government that will not answer questions about it.

The CIA’s use of Islamic radical extremists around the world is in dire need of exposure.  The US government has helped radical terrorists take over Libya and is now supporting a brutal terror campaign in Syria.  These violent extremist movements are similar in character to the war in Chechnya and to Afghanistan in the 1980s.   Did this penchant for allying with fundamentalist zealots contribute to the FBI being called off the trail of the Tsarnaev brothers?  Were they, or at least Tamerlan, seen as useful puppets to carry out actions against the Russian state in Chechnya, Dagestan or elsewhere?

Even more sinister, we must face the possibility that these brothers were under tight surveillance and that their plans to bomb the marathon were known beforehand.

And that they were allowed to proceed exactly as they did.

Some speculate that the brothers were patsies and that the attacks were carried out by individuals in the Craft International operation.  As we are not shown any definitive proof of who placed the bombs, by the government, this question is unanswerable at present.  All we have are the claims of organizations that are already exposed for lying and for criminal negligence.

Faith in leaders is no way to run a nation.

 

UPDATE:

This National Guard CST development brings up more questions than it answers.

• Why was the National Guard Civil Support Team looking for a Weapon of Mass Destruction at the Boston Marathon finish line, if there were no warnings about such a thing?
• And what the hell good are they?
• And where are the bomb sniffing dogs?
• Were the bomb sniffing dogs finished with the “exercise” at the time of the actual bombings?
• Was that the “exercise?”
• Did US intelligence, such as CIA know about the Boston Marathon security procedures and specifically the time frame of bomb sniffing dogs at the finish line of the race?
