This is a key part of the Boston Bombing story that has been censored and mangled by US corporate news (aka “presstitutes”).  Only the UK Daily Mail is telling the truth here.  They are the only professional news media in the Western world that has covered the Graham Fuller / Ruslan Tsarnai connection.  They are also the source of this 2nd Russian warning, after Tamerlan Tsarnaev’s trip to Dagesatn in 2012, as recently as last November.

Don’t let this go down the Memory Hole.

US media repeats that mantra that there was one Russian warning back in 2011, that the FBI looked into.  This second contact is ignored.

Russia asked FBI to investigate bomber just 6 MONTHS ago after being spotted with ‘a militant’ on trip to Dagestan: Was it this known terrorist who Boston killer liked on YouTube?

Russian authorities contacted FBI in November with questions about Tamerlan Tsarnaev, police source said

  • It came after he was seen meeting with a person involved in militant Islamic underground movement in Dagestan
  • FBI never responded to the concerns, the source claimed
  • Tsarnaev’s mother said the FBI had trailed him for five years amid fears he was inspired by Russia’s Bin Laden

impeachmenty

 

Joe Giambrone

Every time the word “bipartisan” makes it to print the world suffers.  When the two rival political syndicates line up in a row in favor of something, it’s because their masters feel so strongly about the issue that all other concerns are bulldozed away.  The American people are not those “masters,” not by any stretch of fantasy.

Bipartisan deals brought us the Iraq War resolution, the Patriot Act, the continuation of Guantanamo Gulag and infinite drone warfare, the naked aggression and support for terrorists in Afghanistan, Libya, Syria and elsewhere, as well as the permission to spy on, disappear and/or execute American citizens without due process.  Bipartisan handshakes erased the right to peaceably assemble and had the Occupy protests beaten, sprayed and hauled off into oblivion.  Bipartisan backroom conversations arranged untold trillions of dollars to banksters, all with the promise of future payments by America’s grandchildren and their grandchildren too.

In 2006 the House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D) told us that, “Impeachment is off the table.”  This low point in the modern history of that criminal protection racket known as the US Congress sent a clear message to the world: presidential crimes are okay in this new America 2.0.  It didn’t matter if the list of criminal charges from Representative Kucinich were true or not.  The Democratic leadership, in an obvious deal to ignore violations of the Constitution in violation of their own oaths of office, gave a free pass to the Bush regime to continue its policies unmolested, no matter how illegal or immoral they happened to be.

That was bipartisanship.

It was next arranged that the top Democratic contender for the presidency would share this view of presidential power, the protection of war criminals and the cover-up and classification of state crimes.  Enter Barack Obama, a bipartisan wet dream for four years.  Barack told us how he would “look forward” rather than back at the torture, unlawful surveillance and wars of aggression launched by his predecessor.  Barack’s Justice (sic) Department wasn’t so blinkered and narrowed in scope when it came to crucial whistleblowers, however.  For those leaking the evidence of state crimes, like John Kriakou (CIA), William Binney (NSA) and of course Private Bradley Manning (US ARMY), Mr. Obama has easily made exceptions to his “forward” looking posture.  Documentarian Robert Greenwald is currently exposing Obama’s War on Whistleblowers.

Mr. Obama’s forward-looking zealotry applies only when it suits his imperial expansion agenda.  And lo and behold, that imperial project has always been the ultimate US bipartisan endeavor.  Even in the era of Harry Truman (D), we have “policy planning” at the US State Department that is clear, unequivocal and patently immoral and at odds with the lofty rhetoric of politicians at podiums.

“[The US Government] should stop putting ourselves in the position of being our brothers’ keeper and refrain from offering moral and ideological advice. We should cease to talk about vague and—for the Far East—unreal objectives such as human rights, the raising of the living standards, and democratization. The day is not far off when we are going to have to deal in straight power concepts. The less we are then hampered by idealistic slogans, the better.

We should recognize that our influence in the Far Eastern area in the coming period is going to be primarily military and economic. We should make a careful study to see what parts of the Pacific and Far Eastern world are absolutely vital to our security, and we should concentrate our policy on seeing to it that those areas remain in hands which we can control or rely on.
Memo PPS23, George Kennan, Head of the US State Department Policy Planning Staff. Written February 28, 1948, (emphasis added)

America is not a democratic republic, and is blatantly not a champion of democracy around the globe, as children are indoctrinated to believe.  America is a brutal, global military empire that has steadily expanded its reach and “action capabilities” since World War 2.  Many millions of casualties across Asia, the Middle East, Africa, South and Central America have piled up in the post WW2 period, thanks in large part to US taxpayers.  With the creation of the “National Security State” in 1948 the US set out on a path of securing its insatiable roster of “interests” in every corner of the globe.  Using its secretive covert capabilities, such as the CIA, Special Forces, SEAL teams and contracted mercenaries, this centuries-long project was, and remains, a clearly “bipartisan” affair.

So is Congressional Gridlock the Only Hope?

Imperial control strategy, which dates back to at least the Roman Empire, posits a divide and conquer method (“Divide et impera”).  Keeping the enemies fighting amongst themselves weakens them and allows the controlling interest to strengthen.  This idea may have some relevance to the current situation with the US Congress.

As complex as modern politics can be, the two sided beast can be set on itself, with resulting self-immolation.  This may be the only chance the population has in the short term, as it seeks to oust the corrupt from high offices, presuming enough of the population is actually interested in doing so.

I’ve smiled more than once these past few days, now that Obama no longer gets a free pass in the media.  After turning his unlawful powers on the Associated Press, he instantly alienated and struck fear into the hearts of the formerly cowed, compliant stenography corps that had ignored so much criminality for so long.  If the crimes of Barack are fair game, then the world gets a reprieve.  If impeachment moves forward, the spectacle will distract these Mafiosos for at least a year.

It seems the more damage these Congress Clowns can inflict on each other, the less they can harm the common people like you and I.  They can only accomplish so much at a time.  We may be spared the Trans Pacific Partnership, more internet censorship, more “free trade” job export deals, more bankster bailouts, more armored troop carriers in the streets and more wars of criminal aggression, at least for a little while.

If the tipping point is reached and lying becomes an impeachable offense again, as with William J. Clinton, then the gloves may come off.  Each side may seek to bloody the other in an ever escalating tit for tat that leads to a flood of resignations, criminal charges and perhaps even a glimpse of that mythical Unicorn called “justice.”

No, I’m not that naïve. But it is nice to dream.

Even the head of the CIA got caught — watch out for them security cams…

WIRED

This Is How to Leak to the Press

 

 

Four years late, after letting the Bush war criminals skate and promoting many of them in his own administration, Barack Obama seems to have pushed past the limits of the professional media class: he spied on THEM.

homer-doh-squarered

Glenn Greenwald, who is looking sharp lately, takes it to the White House front lawn:

The major sea change in media discussions of Obama and civil liberties
“But this anger has infected even the most Obama-loyal circles.”

 

The American Douchebag Society (ADS)?  An ADS acting chairperson was not pleased:

“Or how former Democratic Rep. Jane Harman — once the most vocal defender of Bush’s vast warrantless eavesdropping programs — suddenly began sounding like a shrill and outraged privacy advocate once it was revealed that her own conversations with AIPAC representatives were recorded by the government.”

President Barack Obama“Am I really worse than Nixon?  Seriously?”

Psychopathic warmongers in high places, be they government, think tanks, and particularly media, are some of the foulest, deceitful, loathsome monsters our culture has ever produced.  While Dahmer and Manson killed a few, these deceivers stand to kill tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, milllions, …blillons?

Syria, The First Casualty (the truth)

 

I’ve been battling censorship head on this past week, and it is staggering.

Another piece of hard evidence on US media censorship has become too glaring and offensive to ignore.  Yesterday I posted a piece from the Jerusalem Post.

Retired Col. Lawrence Wilkerson:

“A former senior official in the Bush administration said on Thursday the use of chemical weapons in Syria might have been a “false flag operation” of Israel, meant to implicate Syrian President Bashar Assad.”We don’t know what the chain of custody is. This could’ve been an Israeli false flag operation, it could’ve been an opposition in Syria… or it could’ve been an actual use by Bashar Assad. But we certainly don’t know with the evidence we’ve been given. And what I’m hearing from the intelligence community is that that evidence is really flakey,” retired Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, Colin Powell’s former chief of staff, told Cenk Uygur in an interview with Current TV.”

There is not one article in the entire US corporate media reporting this, or mentioning Col. Wilkerson’s concerns over the “chain of custody” of nerve gas evidence.  Wilkerson, of course, knows the nerve gas is in the possession of the Jihadist lunatics supported by our “good friends” in Saudi Arabia and Qatar.  These Jihadists already made a Youtube video spilling the beans and testing the gas.

Jihadi-nervegas copy

America doesn’t have a Nazi Volksaufklärung und Propaganda.  It doesn’t need one.  It functions smoothly in the interest of a narrow, elite set of warmongers’ interests right now.

Censorship on matters of war and peace leads to mass murder, war crimes, atrocities beyond words.  That is the game US corporate media plays, and their actions surrounding the Iraq War lies in 2002-2003 should have been the wakeup call tot he world that these shills cannot be trusted.  They do not tell the public the whole story.  It is not in their interest to keep you informed.

Ruslan Tsarni

Uncle Ruslan Tsarni’s Organization May Have Funded Terrorists

921d6adc34c9faf1494114a76c670b92Islamic terrorists with many “foreign fighters” destroy much of Chechnya in the 1999-2000 War

Ruslan “Tsarni,” formerly “Tsarnaev,” was married to the daughter of top CIA “strategist” Graham E. Fuller. This is censored by US corporate news, and this brings up glaring questions as to why. Daniel Hopsicker, investigative reporter at Madcow Mornnig News, has uncovered documents linking Ruslan Tsarni, the uncle of the two alleged Boston Marathon bombers, to a Chechen organization that has ties to terrorist funding. Ruslan Tsarni links to the Boston bombing, the CIA and to a known terrorist funding front called Benevolence International, which was shut down by the US Treasury Department and Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald.
Uncle Ruslan Tsarni’s Organization May Have Funded Terrorists

Joe Giambrone

Why isn’t the Boston bombing suspects’ uncle Ruslan Tsarnaev / Tsarni considered a “person of interest” by the FBI?  Or, heavens forbid, a “suspect” in the Boston Marathon bombing plot?

Is it because of his work with State Department and CIA connected USAID around the Caucasus region?  Is it because he was formerly married to the daughter of a very high-ranking CIA official?  Is it because this high-ranking CIA official, Graham E. Fuller, was deeply involved in “Islamic extremism,” for which he is a noted author and strategist?  Or that Graham Fuller was CIA station chief in Kabul Afghanistan?  Could it be because his former father-in-law, Graham Fuller,

“…served 20 years in the Foreign Service, mostly the Muslim World, working in Germany, Turkey, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, North Yemen, Afghanistan, and Hong Kong. In 1982 he was appointed the National Intelligence Officer for Near East and South Asia at CIA, and in 1986 Vice-Chairman of the National Intelligence Council at CIA, with overall responsibility for all national level strategic forecasting.”
-Speaker Bio – Graham E. Fuller

Could it be related to Fuller’s paper that launched the Iran/Contra activities?  Or could it simply be Graham Fuller’s role in “strategic forecasting” both then and now?

Whatever the reasons, the Federal Bureau of Investigation should surely be interested in a little organization that Mr. Ruslan Tsarni set up in 1995 called the “Congress of Chechen International Organization[s].”

Why should FBI care about an old “Congress” of Chechen organizations?  There are several reasons known so far, perhaps many more, to look into this group and its activities.

America’s Rottweiler, Daniel Hopsicker, has sunk his fangs into Ruslan Tsarnaev’s history, and he doesn’t appear to be letting go any time soon.  Uncle Ruslan became the darling of the US press by immediately denouncing the two brothers as “losers” and even claiming that their brains were “stolen” by some radical Islamic cleric whom he had never met or spoken to.

But Uncle Ruslan Tsarni/Tsarnaev’s work for USAID and his close connections to one of the top CIA strategists and a boastful expert on “Islamic extremism,” should cause us to take a very close look at his own actions.  A quick search of USAID’s longtime ties to the CIA turns up this gem of a document, which once was “top secret,” but now declassified tells us:

“Memorandum For: Deputy Director of Operations

Subject: Joint CIA/USAID Terrorist (Technical) Investigations Course #7 (English Language)…

  1. This effort is a joint CIA/USAID training program for foreign police/security personnel…”

This was dated March 7th of 1973 and is hosted right on the USAID website (at least at the time of writing).

Bloomberg told us that Ruslan Tsarni “…was a legal consultant to a U.S. company contracted under USAID in a program of economic assistance for Kysrgyzstan.”  Hopsicker exposed that Uncle Ruslan Tsarni is also a Halliburton connected oil man who profited generously from Kazakhstan’s oil fields.

Well don’t the coincidences just keep piling up around this guy?  Are we in the trillions to one range yet?

Two students from Kazakhstan were charged Wednesday morning for “destroying” evidence related to Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, including fireworks without the gunpowder.  Destroying evidence?  Or planting?  They don’t seem to have “destroyed” it very well.

What would motivate some “friends” to go and tamper with evidence on the biggest terrorism case since 9/11?  This seems out of the ordinary activity, to say the least.  A third man is also facing criminal charges in this evidence tampering and Obstruction of Justice.

Be that as it may, the US media has gone dark on Mr. Graham Fuller and his undeniable relationship with Mr. Ruslan Tsarni/Tsarnaev.  Not one corporate news outlet has covered this Hopsicker initiated piece despite it being incontrovertible.  Fuller wrote about Ruslan in his memoir, Three Truths and a Lie.  Not only does Mr. Fuller’s name link directly, by marriage, to the Tsarnaev clan, his home address links directly to a Chechen front organization used to funnel funds to named terrorists.

Here is where the plot coagulates.  Hopsicker was not satisfied with a failed marriage.  He went deeper.  The Congress of Chechen International Organization[s] assisted one Shaikh Fathi in 1996 by using a “charity” called Benevolence International to get “aid” to the Chechen freedom fighters.  All fine and well, except for a couple of years later we have 9/11, and then American prosecutors like Patrick Fitzgerald begin turning over stones.

One of those slimy, moss covered stones leads to Shaikh Fathi.  The Fitzgerald indictment reads: “Sheikh Fathi was a major conduit for providing material support to the Chechen rebels.”  The indictment was against Benevolence International.  That “charity” was shut down after the US Treasury Department determined that they were “financiers of terrorism.”

congress3

The document that Hopsicker acquired, on Congress of Chechen International Organization[s] letterhead, is potentially the Achilles Heel of the entire covert war in Chechnya against the Russians.  Beyond the Boston bombing, this exposes a Chechen front group created by the son in law of a top CIA official that used this same CIA official’s home address on the official application when Ruslan set up the front!  This may be considered “poor tradecraft.”  A bad decision in 1995 may have just exposed the entire CIA connected terrorism nexus to the world.  And not one US “news” outlet will say one word about it.

Dozens of reporters gave open microphones to Ruslan Tsarni/Tsarnaev when he denounced his two nephews as “losers” and that he wished they had “never existed.”  But what a contrast in news coverage now that this man Ruslan Tsarni himself is found to be very close to the Central Intelligence Agency, since 1995.

It seems as though the name “Graham Fuller” cannot be published in connection to this case, in any corporate media organization in the United States, nor in Europe  [5/10/13 Correction: exactly 1 entity, The Daily Mail UK reported it].  This is essentially Orwellian manipulation of the public, and should be considered the top censored news story of the year, and perhaps of the decade.

Another international terrorist threat warning concerned Tamerlan Tsarnaev, this time in 2012 from Saudi Arabia.  A Saudi official told Daily Mail UK about a letter to US intelligence and that they wouldn’t even allow Tamerlan Tsarnaev to enter Saudi Arabia last December, 2012, for his desired pilgrimage to Mecca.  The Saudi intelligence did not just repeat what Russia had said, and instead the warning was “based on human intelligence developed independently in Yemen.”  Apparently the Saudi Foreign Minister and National Security Chief then met with Barack Obama in the Oval Office to discuss it early in 2013.  Denied, denied, denied.

The usually reliable Israeli intelligence website DebkaFile suggested two things about this Boston Marathon bombing case that were not readily apparent at the time.  These were 1) that the brothers (or older brother) were recruited by US intelligence, and that 2) they turned on their recruiters as double agents for Jihad.

The second part is speculative.  But the first part suggests more detailed knowledge of the Tsarnaevs and of covert activities in the Caucasus.  Most of the data concerning Uncle Ruslan were public and accessible, just waiting for someone like Hopsicker to piece it together.  The freakish response of the FBI to Tamerlan Tsarnaev, despite international terrorist threat warnings, suggests something odd about this case.  While double-agents are not unique and this has precedents, such as Ali Mohamad, we still have no proof that the brothers actually committed the bombings.  They are being tried in the media, piece by piece, without legal recourse to challenge the accusations or the so-called evidence against them.

Russian news outlet Izvestia provides another piece of the puzzle, and it supports the Israeli claim that the brothers were recruited by US intelligence.  On Tamerlan’s trip to Russia in 2012 (Jan. to July), there is a report by Georgian intelligence that Tamerlan Tsarnaev attended “training” at the Jamestown Foundation, connected with the Caucasus Fund (corrected 5/3/13).  All have ties to CIA.  As for Jamestown Foundation, guess who gave a keynote speech in 2008 there called “Turkey & the Caucasus after Georgia”?

Only your favorite “strategist,” the man whose name US media dare not speaketh.  What a little tiny world we’ve inherited.

I’m starting to get worried that the big fix is in.

A ray of sunshine, Veterans Affairs Journal covered the Daniel Hopsicker revelations about CIA/Graham E. Fuller and Tsarnaev brothers’ uncle Ruslan Tsarni.

 

Veterans_Today_Logo

 

Although it is a proven, indisputable fact that the boys’ uncle was married to the daughter of a top CIA official who is a specialist in Islamic extremism and was former CIA station chief in Kabul Afghanistan, this fact cannot be published in any corporate news source — or at least it hasn’t to date.  How is it that a little movie blog can write and post for days about this explosive evidence, yet the New York Times can’t find it relevant to the world?

I’m disheartened though because RT / Russia Today has also failed to report this case.  I have personally, and repeatedly notified RT of the existence of this information, and yet have seen nothing.  Hopsicker’s initial finding is dated April 26.  It’s the 30th.

?

russiatoday

I am truly disturbed this time because even RT and Abby Martin are silenced on this issue so far. This is indicative of something Sibel Edmonds said the other day, and that is that Russia may be making a deal with Washington behind the scenes.

The hypothetical deal is as follows. Washington throws their Chechen terrorists to the wolves: the Russian security services. In exchange Russia abandons Assad in Syria, allowing NATO to launch major military actions and take Syria.

That leaves Sibel Edmonds and a handful of brave whisleblowers and fringe investigators (like me!!!) as the only news sources on the CIA / Boston Marathon bombing connections.  I’m afraid not enough people view these sources to make a substantial dent and get the actual truth out to the masses.  It’s the 9/11 cover up all over again.

But this time the end game is to ramp up the unaccountable, secretive police state, as we witnessed the show of force in Boston when literally thousands of heavily armed troops and armored personnel carriers flooded the streets and searched homes without warrants.  Look for more of that.

And to get more of that, nothing works better than more incidents to sell it with to the public.  This is an extremely dangerous time, and with the complete abandonment by the news media, we are in a state of fascist top-down control.  Now, already.

If the crimes and abuses of the government cannot be challenged, it is by default a tyranny, a despotic regime.

Watch this news carefully.  It is undeniable that Graham Fuller’s daughter married Ruslan, the uncle of the two ALLEGED bombers.  Even Graham Fuller has admitted as much.  The rest of the story is what the CIA has been doing in Chechnya since 1995, when Ruslan Tsarnaev first set up the “Congress of Chechen International Organizations” from Graham Fuller’s home.

There is no clearer or more desperate example of media censorship today than this news story.

Glorious Martial Law?

Joe Giambrone

 

“Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
(Who watches the watchers?)”
–Juvenal

Are we allowed to talk about martial law, the militarization of police, and the complete shutdown of cities on command?  Or will that get the glorious law enforcers to storm and kick in our own doors now?  Just what are the rules in effect today?  Just what sort of precedent is being set here right before our eyes?

It was your commoner citizens who located the Boston bombing suspect after finding him hiding in a boat.  This was after the martial law decree had arbitrarily been lifted, and it was now ordered permissible to go out in one’s backyard again.

Is martial law the answer to sticky incidents with fleeing suspects?  Can this now apply to any suspects or any manhunt in the United States, anywhere, for any reason?

One might argue that clearing the streets under military decree is very useful for a particular purpose when pursuing a suspect: allowing a “free fire zone” of automatic .40 caliber hollow point gunfire, the known preference of the new “Homeland Security” apparatus.  So what precedents are we setting now, in terms of rewriting the entire law enforcement paradigm, arguably a much more serious concern than a single 19 year old bleeding suspect.  Yeah.  What the fuck actually happened last week in Boston?

“Governor Deval Patrick took an unprecedented security step, asking people in Boston, Watertown, and several other nearby communities — totaling a million people — to “shelter in place” — stay at home behind locked doors and open up only to police officers with proper identification.”
Boston Globe

“Asking?”  Martial law is just a friendly request, and the Globe dutifully disseminates.  CBS News counts “thousands of heavily armed law enforcement officers and scores of military-style tactical vehicles,” but is quick to have an expert standing by to justify it as “perfect sense.”  Just perfect.  All that for one bleeding, injured 19 year old.

One wonders how many tank divisions and predator squadrons might have been called in if this was one of the much-fabled “cells” we hear so much about on TV.  I’m not disputing the need to capture the suspect, an obviously dangerous person, given what he is accused of doing.  I am disputing the federal intervention, the military suspension of the Constitution and the militarization of local policing – all greatly warned about numerous times as we descend into outright authoritarianism, clamoring for the federal troops and toys to come and save us.  Not only were the public politely “asked” to stay within their homes, authorities also pushed the “media back further and further from the action unfolding (CBS).”  This bodes well for a free and open society.

In the midst of all this bombing hysteria the House of Representatives (sic) passed CISPA, with more government/private sector spying.  Less accountability for the mishandling of your private data, and more total information awareness totalitarianism is ensured.  That is the direction that every single one of these bills travels, bar none.  Nearly every act of Congress concerning security of any sort increases government and corporate surveillance powers, diminishes accountability, oversight and the public’s right to challenge their own surveillance by authorities both public and private.  We are living more and more in The Matrix, with 4th Amendment protections now considered “quaint” and of a bygone era that no longer has any relevance today.

Praise for surveillance cameras has been noted since Boston with calls for more public surveillance, more facial recognition, more integration of things like traffic cameras and license plate readers.

“I think CCTV cameras are much more needed in urban areas.”
-Rep. Peter King (R), New York, House Committee on Homeland Security

Of course he does.  He thought that before this latest photo op.  The answer is always more security, more surveillance, more intrusion, and less individual protection from government and from the private corporate sector.

A tremendous catharsis overwhelmed Boston with the announced capture of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, as if that explained and ended everything.  When you enact martial law with thousands of machinegun wielding stormtroopers and armored personnel carriers in the streets, and then make them go away, the people will be grateful.  No doubt.

But this is where the story should be entering a new phase of discovery, intense investigation and disclosure.  Sorry Boston; this is far from the end.

It was the FBI, apparently, who had monitored the two Chechen brothers for years, according to their own mother.  Zubeidat K. Tsarnaeva claims the FBI had contacted her and her sons repeatedly over the past 5 years.  She even claims that the two were “controlled” by the Feds and “set up” in some kind of sting operation.  If that sounds baseless, well we have already had an admission by FBI that they “interviewed” the older brother Tamerlan back in 2011.  Further, the Wall Street Journal reports that this FBI interview was in response to a “request by the Russian government.

Scratch the vinyl.  Say what?

It is mind-blowing news every hour today.

The Mother of the two alleged bombers:

“This Is A Setup”

“Zubeidat K. Tsarnaeva, the mother of Boston bombing suspects Dzhokar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev … ”He was controlled by the FBI for five years,” she said.”They knew what my son was doing, they knew what sites on the Internet he was going [to], they used to come…and talk to me…they were telling me that he was a serious leader and they were afraid of him.”

“They were talking to my son, and they called me officially and they told me that my son is an excellent boy and they have no problem with him,” she added. “At the same time, they were telling me that…he is getting information on really extremists…sites, so they were very, very afraid of him. So that’s why I think that this is a setup.”
