her statements and there ramifications are huge,,, beyond words almost



from the aclu website
www.aclu.org...

JULY 2002: Edmonds files a lawsuit to challenge the FBI's retaliatory actions.

AUGUST 2002: Senator Leahy writes Attorney General John Ashcroft a letter asking for a speedy and thorough investigation of Edmonds' case. This letter is later retroactively classified in May 2004. The investigation is not completed for another two years, and then is classified.

JANUARY 2005: The Justice Department's Office of the Inspector General releases an unclassified summary of its investigation into Edmonds' termination. The report concludes that Edmonds was fired for reporting serious security breaches and misconduct in the agency's translation program, and that many of her allegations were supported.


based on this timeline.,,,,, our gov't admits she is telling the truth,,,,,m and they classified everything to cover it up and basically make it go away

sickening!!!!!




didn't she even have to flee to avoid persecution and for fear of death threats




turkey is quite dirty as more and more stories come to light


they refuse to admit to the armenian genocide or even apologize even when that atrocity is so well documented and so much proof exists

obama lied on his promise to recognize officially the genocide,,,, he now refuses to move forwrd or acknowledge the issue

had i not been a fan of system of a down, i may have overlooked this horrible event as well

Well, there you have it. Bribery, espionage, nuclear secrets, blackmail, infiltration of the US government, corrupt as hell former and incumbent US government officials, and more.

Well give yourselves a hand ATS. The allegations we have been making for some time now that corruption and criminals are pervasive in groups at the top appear to be totally correct. And you know what the kicker is? That if this is happening with such an obscure country as Turkey, THEN WHAT IN THE HELL IS HAPPENING WITH GOVERNMENTS LIKE ISRAEL, RUSSIA, CHINA, THE UK AND OTHERS? Can you imagine?

Now seriously. What REALLY needs to happen here in the REAL National Security interest is due to the necessity of this country to purge itself completely from this evil, EVERY SINGLE MEMBER OF THIS GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO BE FIRED AND WE NEED TO START OVER. SORRY. No more trust from the American people. NONE.

We don't even know just how systemic and widespread this corruption truly is. And do we really NEED to know after a testimony like this? I say we don't, and I've heard enough. We've got a usurper as President who threatens and coerces the MSM into not talking about his illegal status, a Congress that has been infiltrated, a Justice Dept that can't even handle a 9/11 investigation or the BC issue, and a MIC that is so greedy they will kill mercilessly to drive Porsches and fly Lear jets.

Umm no. This is it as far as I'm concerned. And do you think any one of these criminals will go to jail? Hell no.

If you are an American citizen reading this, and you don't watch all five of those videos, and see for yourself what kind of major Cluster**** we are really in here, then you have lost all my respect. This is the kind of stuff that is not optional. Required viewing for any self proclaimed patriot who professes to know what in the HELL is going on. And it IS hell that is going on. This is just a minor tip of the iceberg. Remember that profusely as you watch this. Just a slice.

This is war, by God. WAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh come on Hunka... I know for a fact you're a heck of a lot smarter than that lack luster comment you just made. That's almost an insult to what Sibel has been through, and a lack of respect for some real serious stuff going down here. I am sorry, any other time and I might laugh with you, but this is no laughing matter here, and I surely don't appreciate the joke. I am ripsh** pissed about this. And you ought to be too.

As to the lack of response here and everyone else's no show for this thread, INCLUDING THE MODS so far, maybe we need to give it some time. Those are some long videos which some people don't have time for. Well, they better make the time. This is too important to miss, and so many of us have been waiting SO LONG for Sibel to finally open up on what she knows. Now that it's happened, there is simply no excuse not to see this. And you can imagine that if the lack of response on this is so far so bad at ATS, the largest conspiracy site on the net, it is going to be near 0 overall from the public at large.

Unless of course the MSM gets a hold of this. But seeing as threats against them and gag orders are so easily implemented by the Obama administration, and the media are such fricken wimps, don't hold your breath. We might do better instead of bitching to email that link to every MSM network there is en masse, so we can revel in their refusal to cover it. As usual.

Dude, chill.. at the very beginning of the video that was my first reaction... the attorney who is representing her opposition was acting like a complete arse. I think that's important to point out.

I've just finished the first video. And yes, this is very very interesting.

I don't get angry about stuff like this. When I get angry it's when someone has no respect for my efforts.

I guess I'm just used to having illusions ripped away since I was a child. Notice what I say in my avatar? "I'm the man behind the curtain"

I have to enjoy my reality through the manipulation of my subjective universe, and to some degree through my objective universe. However, even though I can heavily influence my objective universe, I can never remove the fact that there is no one who has my best interests at heart other than me.

Everyone of you out there are completely and utterly about you. No matter how much I give to the world or fight the world, there are going to be large clusters of you who have no appreciation of my individual concerns. The only way I can even get cooperation out of you is to sacrifice my own concerns and prioritize yours above mine thus creating a dependency. Which would be fine if Interdependency was recognized and respected, but it's not.

And so this is the result. Spy vs Spy. Corruption. Negligence, and Incompetence.

I think you are channeling your hatred of your disappointment in the world towards others now.



Well, they better make the time. This is too important to miss, and so many of us have been waiting SO LONG for Sibel to finally open up on what she knows.

Well it is a large set of videos. See this is the thing about humans. If you can't tell it in a story form, and a rhythmic one if it is long, then the human mind won't care. It's been that way for millenniums.

Why don't you write a story about it so you can better convey it to others who don't have the time, inclination, or capability to focus on these videos? We are all a bunch of monkeys... so give us a show, and we will understand a bit more than we do now.



Unless of course the MSM gets a hold of this. But seeing as threats against them and gag orders are so easily implemented by the Obama administration



Wait a minute. I saw all sorts of gag orders on her during the Bush admin. No where have I yet seen that she was put under a gag order by the Obama admin.

Did I miss something?



, and the media are such fricken wimps, don't hold your breath. We might do better instead of bitching to email that link to every MSM network there is en masse, so we can revel in their refusal to cover it. As usual.


Look why don't you send it to those Auto-tune the news folks. Maybe they can do something with it...

I could definitely see a mashup of the salient points put to music.
