Maybe when corporate media finishes the steak pieces Brad prepared so nicely for them, and wanders drunkenly with a martini burp into someone else wandering drunkenly with a beer burp who is in the middle of drunken mumbling about this, may finally get some light shed on it. wishful thinking?

Not that this should be the priority at all but..
They want to sell papers right?

Boom, instant headlines.

I'll indulge a bit.

1. Congressional Bribes, Blackmail, and Treasonous Espionage (Yo, it's on record now, you understand these are active personnel and ya got no questions still?)

4. US Monetary system - Bad sales situation on Treasury's. (Could our government come to a screeching halt, leaving literally everyone with a broken oath of office?

Maybe newspapers and broadcast spectrum need a better drug than catnip? I dunno, seems like this is why they are failing. All fluff, no real meat.

There's a lot of stuff to get.

Maybe a simple question like, "Who's in charge of security for the United States?"

"Why isn't there an explicit instructions for dealing with broken sworn oath's of office and not only failing to defend, but attacking the US Constitution?" "Is there a phone number (anyone can call especially previous folks who worked with security) for security breaches, and other malicious activity, which doesn't involve destroying the messenger's (identity, financially, time/career, jail/freedom) lives?"

Or alternatively, a boisterous, loud doom and gloom need for panic/shock headlines. ala Alex Jones style. (No offense meant to Alex. Who brings up legit questions on his own.)

Ahh, finally a link from Raw Story to this story. Let's keep commenting in other progressive blogs. And no reason not to do same from conservative blogs either. After all, this is a non-partisan issue.

Most of this information is well known but I wonder who the female Congresswoman is? Now there is a long list that includes top ranking Officials. This is why the US is a joke around the World and considered as liars. Look for much much more to come out about what has been going on for the pass 8 years of the Mob Administration.

Wow, Brad, you read my mind. I downloaded the transcript and waded through a few pages, and thought, boy, wouldn't it be great if the Brad Blog broke this thing down into tenths or something? And you heard me!

Thanks ever so much!

And you say:

"...one would think someone in the corporate MSM might have taken the time to go through the material, and report on it."

Hahaha! Good laugh. But yeah, one would, in any normal world.

Yeah, that's it (I say, replying to myself): post in conservative blogs that there is testimony implicating (only the) Democrats in treasonous activities... that'll get 'em to click the link, and surely, some percentage will feel some outrage and spread the word.

cosimo!

That's a sterling idea!

Give me a break!

If you believe this shady woman, who is discredited and fired by FBI 7+ years ago and who is trying to get back to FBI payrolls since, then you can believe the world is flat.

Nothing she said is new and all tall tales and he-said-she-said. The real question is why was “sibellydancer” pulled out of the hat now?

It is now because Krikorian, in a desperate attempt to prove his outrageous claims he leveled against an honorable Congresswoman, is using anything that he thinks might help him and his sick cause of peddling a bogus genocide.

But it is too little, too late. Krikorian made his bed, now he will have to lie in it. He will find out, the hard way, that the U.S. is a country of laws, not slanderous claims thrown about arrogantly.

Armenians poisoned for decades the columns and screens in this country with their brand of racist and dishonest history. Now they are trying to close the door on fair-minded readers from finding out the deception behind the Armenian claims by intimidating dissenters. Thus, myth substitutes facts. Politics voids scholarship. Perception replaces precision. Votes beat knowledge.

... and a fraudulent genocide is marketed as the whole truth. A sad day for freedom of speech when the truth cannot be spoken for fear of being branded a genocide denier.

For all these reasons, I think Krikorian will pay dearly for crossing the line. My hunch.

{Ed Note: "InformedObserver" previously posted the same copied and pasted nonsense attacking Sibel Edmonds as "Norman Israel" in a previous thread. Our rules for commenting at BRAD BLOG do not allow the use of multiple user names, nor spamming of comment threads by repeated copying and pasting. He posts the same nonsense, under different names, at other sites which have covered the Edmonds allegations as well. Commenter "Joe Blow" later in this thread, explains who "Norman Israel"/"InformedObserver" actually is --- apparently the President Elect of the Assembly of Turkish American Associations, serving only to further shame the Turkish Lobby since this story has come out. Knock it off "Norman" or you won't be posting here at all in the future. Thank you. --- BF}

Proof beyond a doubt that the media was bought off. They're not even doing bad reporting for profits, because people want real news. Proof! They didn't count on the internet, when they invoked their plan to take over the media and have another part of it call it "liberal" for effect (Limbaugh, etc...). This is proof beyond a doubt for conservatives, too.

Gee! If the two parties did all this, that Sibel Edmonds testified too, what else are they capable of? Hmmmm....... Nah! This is the only thing they ever did!

The apparent lack of interest shown by the mass media demonstrates the complicity of these organs in the deception of the people. They are fully aware of the allegations but are remaining silent in the hope that the situation will quietly pass dwn the memory hole. This would appear to be editorial decisions at the behest of the owners of these companies who have their own agends.
True allegiance to the constitution and the nation is deemed subversive and in contra to their own allegiances which lie in the Middle East and not in the Americas.
http://pakalert.wordpres...-96-of-the-worlds-media/

"informed Observer" is Ergun Kirlikovali, who posted the exact same post on another Brad Blog section pertaining to the Edmonds testimony. Mr kirlikovali is a wealthy elderly Turkish American businessman and the President Elect of the
Assembly of Turkish American Associiations.

I call Kirlikovali out on three scores:

First, as an American resident, who has made his fortune here in his adopted country, it is time for him to act like an American instead of a PR shill for Turkey. If he has facts showing that Edmonds did not hear what she says she heard,
then put up or shut up. Any American of any political stripe should demand an investigation, not ridicule.

Second, the attack Kirlikovali makes is sexist. What does the patriot Sibel Edmonds have in common with "octomom" other than gender?

Third, Kirlikovali is a hardened racist. Please google his name and the word Armenian. You will see that he uses Nazi imagery, describing Armenians of today and 1915 as "vermin" "backstabbers" "traitors" "murderers" "terrorists" etc.

Although he uses the Nick "Norman Israel", he employs the infamous blood libel and redirects it upon Armenians: he promotes a mandatory Turkish government school film called Sarin Gelin, which alleges that Armenians in 1915 ate the flesh and drank the blood of Turkish children.

In another publication he said that the average Armenian of today wants to kill "any Turk on sight".

This is the face of the Turkish American lobby. That honest and patriotic Turkish Americans support an unreconstructed Nazi is frightening. It also shows the fanaticism that threatens our already frage and distracted Republic.

I have a stake in this, but it's not what the Kirlikovalis of the world think. They assume that only Armenians, Greeks, Pontians, Kurds, Assyrians and Turkish leftists oppose them.

I oppose them because my father lived under fascism. Because German fascists speaking just as Kirlikovali speaks
killed my Grandmother decades before my birth.

LA LA LA LOL....

Fraudulent Genocide?

One of hundreds of thousands of doocuments:
http://query.nytimes.com...A2575BC2A9629C946897D6CF

You're such a bad liar, don't even bother.

Thanks for taking this on Brad- as you noted above, the 4 hours of video/241 pgs of transcript are a lot to wade through.

I guess the particular context of this deposition somewhat limited Edmonds in what she was advised she could disclose without breaking the law herself; her testimony was subpoenaed as defense evidence by a Citizen, not for a law enforcement or Congressional investigation of potentially criminal/treasonous conduct.

Much of what was covered in her deposition has previously come out in bits and pieces over the years, from independent investigations and reporting by various media. However, now she's testified to it under oath, and the video and transcript are public. Specific names and crimes are mentioned.

I was a bit frustrated that things were discussed mainly in very general terms, for instance; "They were involved in operations that were obtaining illegally U.S. weapons and nuclear related technology and sell it to foreign governments and also foreign independent operatives."

What are the names of ALL the people involved (including the operatives, not just the big players who facilitated things and obstructed investigations), and if those aren't known, what were their positions and what roles did they play? What locations did they get these weapons/secrets/technology from, and how did they do it?

4 hours was not enough, and the lines of questioning focused on the corruption of our government and 'public servants' by Turkish interests, not the facilitation and cover up of 9/11 and the trafficking in weapons/drugs/nuclear secrets/dirty money, etc.

Still, these are extremely serious charges, made by a person who has been called credible by 2 senior Senators and DOJ IG Glenn Fine, and whose testimony has been corroborated by others at the FBI, and in inquiries by 60 Minutes, Vanity Fair and the London Sunday Times. Edmonds' charges are slanderous if not true, and the nature of them demands investigation and public prosecution if they are.

That there was zero coverage of this by the MSM, and almost zero by the 'independent' media underscores how little credibility they have. The DOJ was well aware the deposition was taking place; if an investigation is not being conducted, it would seem Holder and his DOJ are complicit in a cover up of treason, as well as every member of Congress. The Republic has become one in pretense only- it seems the entire institution of government needs to be turned upside down, if what Edmonds is saying is true, and none of our 'public servants'- even Dennis Kucinich, John Conyers, Russ Feingold, Patrick Leahy- are doing anything about it. It's been left to the People.

Thanks for your thoughts, Erik. And you're absolutely right about just about all of it.

Yes, it was frustrating that, in this case, she was specifically brought in for a purpose to speak to a very specific aspect, rather than as a criminal investigation.

My hope is that the general allegations themselves, now on the public record and so accessible, will help to kick off further investigations about the specific details she discusses.

Your help in getting the word out has been greatly appreciated, Erik. Please keep up the good work. It may just be me and you and two or three others (if we're lucky!) on this beat for a while! Unfortunately.

We are trying to spread the information.

Let's all make an effort to mass email Rachel Maddow asking her to interview Sibel Edmonds and link her to this story.

Rachel@msnbc.com

And cosimo has a great idea too up there

We can do it.

Tanks.

I have been following this ever since it was revealed a few years ago. The rot in our government is deep and widespread. The collusion with interests in Israel and Turkey is deep. THis is the kind of thing that preceeded the debasement of the Roman Empire. But even in old Rome, the corruption of foreign policy never rose to this level.

This country has been squandering its resources for decades in foreign entanglements the founders foreswore. Eventually this country is going to go bankrupt, and these foreign games shall cease; because they will then no longer be possible. It is too bad the mainstream media and our politicians lack the integrity to act to stop this madness caused by greed and extortion, made possible by our corrupt campaign finance system. Benjamin Franklin warned that this country would be a republic, "if you can keep it".

Thank you Brad. This work is extremely valid because it explains the complex inner workings about how this particular network's WITHIN the U.S. FEDERAL GOVERNMENT in more understandable terms FOR THE REST OF AMERICA.

When I read posted comments something like.. this is the validation that could implicate the (6) corporate US mass media outlets are "corrupted" or "paid off" or "in on this one" only re-enforces my deepest anger and understanding how clueless the average American is mislead and brainwashed.

These super rich treasonous anti-enviro murderous bastards who run our country and have complete control of the US mass media are generally careful and not stupid. When undeniable truth is brought forth, the 5% Illuminati government move from "Damage Control 101" is: after further review..NO RESPONSE.

Hense we have the corporate U.S. mass media blackout of the Sibel Edmonds story.

SILENCE!!! It is not worth the money and resources for your crooked New World Order Federal government rulers to defend and support an obvious provable lie in oposition to a story gaining traction into the U.S. collective conscience UNLESS GIVEN NO CHOICE.

Constitution or not, this is basically a multi-faceted Imperial Corporate Dictatorship after 8 years of Bush and Cheney who stole 2 elections to win their presidential terms.

How long have U.S. elections including presidential races been an rigged sham by these people? Probably as long as they have been in power AND THAT HAS BEEN IN PLACE FOR DECADES.

u WANT some ANSWERS? Go investigate the Federal Reserve Bank!

Illuminati politicians like the Bushes, Clintons, and Obama and the Military Industrial Congressional Complex, ALL corrupted Federal agencies, and their judicial puppet appointments will tell you WHAT AND WHEN to think. AMERICANS will be entrapped in their shit until the next revolution. Velvet or otherwise.

Under President Ronald Reagan, laws were changed allowing 1 PRIVATE corporation to own print, radio and, TV monopolies of the U.S. mass media.

WE must wake up or bend over and swallow "their" next war OR THE NEXT 9-11.

i actually think this is a very serious matter but i am left thinking mosty: sibel edwards is hot. seriously hot. you should look up her picture.

I apologize for not proof-reading my grammar and punctuation errors at post 19 better. My thoughts are clear but my after I change or re-word my sentences, it makes me look like I never passed high school English. Actually, my attention in class often drifted away throughout my youth because I didn't like most of my boring teachers who played favorites. It comes back to haunt me when I write.

It's not wise to go on a blind witchhunt based on one source, but If what Siebel said is accurate, then we better be wary of the Turkish-defector living in the US and setting up Islamist schools in the guise of moderate Islam. This guy:
http://en.wikipedia.org/...iki/Fethullah_G%C3%BClen

If he is guilty of cultivating Islamist hate-centers, I think both the left and the right can agree, that something must be done --- in a wise way that does not backfire later or undermine our interests in the long run.

His Wikipedia article does not reflected what Siebel related. I don't really know anything, but I have no reason to doubt Siebel. Also I agree she is pretty cute : ). Peace all.

Not that surprised that the media aren't taking this up, the ramifications are watergate+ and this time it isn't a president but the political system itself that seems to be in danger. So not surprised that media are avoiding this like a hot potato.
But.... what i'd like to know is whether this turkish narco/state money/blackmail approach has been used in western europe as well. There is a case in the Netherlands that this smell.

Slightly different corrected text for post #19. OK to swap out and I promise to try and be less lazy moving forward.

These people love to espout words like freedom and democracy in their fight against "their" war on terror and will constantly remind you they are the good guys. U.S.A. are the world saviors with their wars and pollution. Yeah!

WE must wake up or bend over and swallow "their" next war OR THE NEXT 9-11.

Do Americans really want to catch a 9-11 terrorist? Then make a citizen's arrest of the treasonous George W. Bush Administration and anyone connected to his documented anti-environmental murderous regime.

If a said individual was promoted or left "their" position to spend more time with their families, you can bet your house if you still own it that "they" were rewarded for their criminal effort and or insulated from any punishment from within the U.S. "Just-Us" system.

Exibit A. Scooter Fcking Libby.

Let the World Court prosecutions begin by connecting the dots of the epic crimes committed against world people and nature during the rule of the President George W. Bush Administration.

Only look forward. These are words President Obama chooses to live by. Unfortunately, since many criminal activities such as 2 illegal wars started by the President George W. Bush Administration are still being perpetuated by the same people under the new Illuminati puppet President Barack Obama Administration, prosecution must occur outside the United States of America.

Since all branches and agencies of the U.S. "Just Us" system have been completely corrupted by the Illuminati New World Order takeover in the last few decades, American courts cannot and should not be entrusted to bring justice to these U.S. criminal political figures on 9-03-2009.

If a world court can prosecute a Nazi war criminal, they sure as hell can prosecute former Vice President Dick Cheney and Carl Rove for their criminal contributions and abuse of Executive branch powers.

Wayne Madsen has also been covering the story, and has identified the blackmailed congresswoman. See Capitol Hill needs to be swept clean. Precious few of our senators and representatives haven't been blackmailed and bribed. The corporate media will of course continue to ignore the story because the Turkey and Israel lobbies are partners in crime, and there are all those suitcases of cash flowing through the Cayman Islands, which the (Bob) Livingston Group represents, as well as Turkey. And we thought it was his own marital indiscretions that caused him to resign as Speaker and congressman. Sibel Edmonds implied that it was his illegal activities that were actually behind his departure, which means he was probably blackmailed, forced out lest he face indictment and exposure of his crimes? Great work on the part of Brad Friedman.

I admire Sybil Edmonds and othe whistleblowers. That's about the only way we can get the dirty details of wrongdoing. They put themselves at risk for harm, maybe death.

To Sibel: Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your bravery, perseverance and honesty. My late Armenian grandfather, who watched his family slaughtered in unmentionable ways, would be so thankful too.

The lingering and unanswered question in my mind: how much of the "foreign aid" congress appropriates comes back as bribery funds, and how many congress members sponsor and vote for it KNOWING it will be "recycled back" into their personal coffers?

"Ahh, finally a link from Raw Story to this story. Let's keep commenting in other progressive blogs. And no reason not to do same from conservative blogs either. After all, this is a non-partisan issue."

that's because i sent an email asking them to cover the story. i also sent the email to six or so other sources. i suggest anyone concerned about getting coverage do the same. maybe they'll respond if enough people are asking.

I had been dropping a few suggestion in Raw Story stories also. In fact, just yesterday, they had a story about Bruce Fein supporting torture investigations of Cheney. Good for him on that. I commented in that story. Last night, Raw Story had a big honkin' headline linked directly to this Brab Blog story. This morning....gone. Poof. Can't find the reference.

To comment #27:

"GIVE ME LIBERTY

OR GIVE ME"..

Patrick Henry

Words to live by if you call yourself native American. (Born in the U.S.A.)

I've written Rachel about this before - as well as about a dozen newspapers - but believe this blog-based campaign is the key to attention.

I'm one of the disenfranchised millions, pursuing my passion of singing meaningful music because I can't find reasonably paid employment. The economic and political climate have inspired me to write songs called "Incite Social Evolution" and "Fiat Greed".

I encourage everyone concerned to do what ever they do to communicate to the masses the corruption now bubbling to the surface. Write about it in your blogs, contact your government officials - they probably won't respond and send emails to your personal contacts.

Today, I chided Rachel by asking "Is your show for real or dictated by "allowable" controversy?" and "If you ignore it, like the rest of the mainstream media - controlled through high-level wage-slavery to suppress vital information about how this country is run by criminals - you serve the interests of the elite." I closed with "You could be a leader in the perhaps impossible task of giving the United States Government back to the people...or just another propaganda pusher, serving the interests of the elite. Do the right thing. Report the story."

Some food for thought can be found in my earlier piece, Lanny Davis: Empire's Consigliere:

While Edmonds' testimony is alarming, what I found more troubling was that most of Edmonds' knowledge was acquired during a relatively brief stint as a Turkish (and to a lesser extent, Farsi) translator (9/15/01 - 4/02). Her work exposed her largely to just one small aspect of targeted FBI investigations --- the loosely described Turkish lobby consisting of a number of organizations and individuals including members of the Turkish diplomatic community.

Given that the Turkish lobby is but one of many foreign lobbies operating inside the U.S., it is quite plausible that Edmonds merely exposed the tip of an iceberg.

It starts with our having permitted the most undemocratic of institutions --- corporations --- to control 95% of what people see, hear and read.

The media conglomerates have a direct financial interest in restricting the scope and quality of information, forcing those with information vital to the democratic process to pay to get the message across.

The cost of candidate access via the 30-second deceptive ad is so inordinately expensive that only those candidates with corporate monies need apply. Campaign war chests necessary to purchase advertising are a prerequisite to corporate media "coverage/" All others are immediately discarded as "not viable."

With politicians having already sold out to the interests of multinational corporations, it is but a small step to selling out to foreign governments.

The corruption exposed by Sibel Edmonds is endemic to the system our corporate-owned media has created and tightly controls.

We will never achieve anything resembling either political or economic democracy until we divest corporate control of the media.

Brad, you seem incredulous that the MSM is passing on this story (and others). Indeed, it is. But, what I haven't seen you do, which I would have expected by now (considering your keen, critical eye) is that you dig to see whether the MSM is "in bed" with the "powers that be" that allow this corruption to go on.

Surely, a news agency that is about NEWS and about keeping the public informed would certainly cover something as serious as alleged treason by sitting Congressmen. The fact that they have not suggests that they are in it together.

Sure, they may talk about ratings and sales, but I would expect for newspapers to become scarce, and for eyes to be glued to TV sets if something like this came out. So, I don't buy that potential argument.

I also don't buy the argument that it would destabilize our government by investigating corruption and causing people to be distrustful. News flash: people are ALREADY distrustful, and further, we have good reason to distrust corrupt politicians!

I don't know what your resources look like, but perhaps you (or a group of progressive bloggers like you) should investigate this gaping omission in reporting by the MSM. I would love to be wrong about this, but with as many resources as they brag to have, state-of-the-art technology, decades-tenured reporters, international presence, etc., it escapes me how the rest of the world would pick up on these type of stories, but our own "vaunted" MSM would not. It reeks of a deliberate decision, perhaps bordering on conspiracy.

I love a mystery. Dem Congresswoman in office pre-2000 to the present, married, grown children.
The following fit the description:

Zoe Lofgren CA
Maxine Waters CA
Jane Harman CA
Grace Napolitano CA
Rosa DeLauro CT
Jan Schakowsky IL
Carolyn Maloney NY
Nita Lowey NY
Louise Slaughter NY
Sheila Jackson-Lee TX

Anna Eshoo CA (Armenian!) is divorced but that may be recent, not sure if Sibel tracks her personnel life, so she may fit the profile.

My guesses of most likely: Lofgren, Harman, DeLauro, Maloney

This makes me wonder how many FBI investigations have been suppressed when it comes time to prosecute. As Ernest Canning states, Sibel Edmonds worked for a short time as translator. So why would the feds sit on this information? Too useful for their own schemes? And how much more has gone down since 2002?
IF big media wakes up, what will AG Holder do?

One interesting to note that came out in the testimony is that Sibel and her husband appear to have enough financial assets/resources to not depend on having to work for a living. I don't say that in any way to disparage her. I still love Sibel and what she's doing.

I say that because I think that makes her rather unique perhaps in the intelligence industry in that she has a combination of:
a) not being dependent on the salary a job in the FBI would giv her,
b) qualifications to do something useful an intelligence service needs,
c) a desire to serve the American people and to do what's right, not what serves only herself and her immediate friends, and
d) the immense courage needed to stand up to massive adversity in her attempts to follow through on c.

I'm guessing that there aren't too many in our intelligence agencies with this combination of circumstances. My guess is that the FBI and others, in order to control information better might be trying these days only to hire friends, or to take care and avoid those that fit circumstance "a". It might be worthy of a study so that we get a whole bunch of people with and without qualification a to see who gets hired by the FBI and who doesn't. If "a" types are avoided, that might explain more why we have a massive whitewash without more whistleblowers coming forward. If this is true, perhaps we could find some way of having a fund to fairly help those that come forward and are subsequently blackballed for their efforts.

Hmm... Just across the wire...

Cincinnati.com just put out a story on the "blood money" case. Just barely a couple of sentences mentioning Sibel and her testimony at the end, but hey it's something!

Krikorian's defense still seeks to cross-examine Barry Bennett, Schmidt's chief of staff, and Sibel Edmonds, a former FBI translator-turned-whistleblower.

In her four-hour deposition Aug. 8, Edmonds described Turkish attempts to bribe and blackmail other members of Congress. Edmonds is out of the country, so Krikorian will get another chance to call her as a witness on Oct. 1.

Brad, you are almost single-handedly replacing the MSM as the new 4th Estate.

I speak for a thousand silent voices, probably 10,000, who recognize your work as the kind of investigative journalism long missing from our mainstream media.

And all I can say, for me and so many others, just a plain old All American "Thanks" for the work you do.

Keep after 'em!

Thanks, Jep. But I could use a little help. This "single-handedly" stuff is getting exhausting!

I recently published a piece about this based on Wayne Madsen's work. It's now #2 on Google under "Lesbian Blackmail". The congresswoman in question is Jan Schakowsky, who also happens to be Chair of the House Subcommittee on Intelligence Oversight and Investigations, which is holding up the Blackwater Assassination investigation. Read all about it. Great work Brad!

Isn't it about time to attempt to draw some members of Congress into this discussion? Try to discern where the answers to the many questions being posed herein might actually rest. To know what occurs inside, one must, at times, actually go nside. In truth, I think that to really know the tiger, one must actually scratch its tummy.I do not believe that all of them are in colllusion with and are being bought by the ultra wicked Illuminati. Frankly, many of them just aint' that slick, you know? They lack the social skills required to pull this kind of thing off. I'm not denying the existance of same, just not ready to elevate them into CIA meets Dr. Moriarity status. As far as I can see, they are all motivated by the figure on their own paycheck, and little else. My favorite Professor in college once told me, "Follow the money. That's where dark souls and simple minds converge."

What is it about Lesbians that has this comment section so aroused? Ms Maddow taking this case to the airwaves? ha-ha-ha.

Despite the expected emnity between Jews & Islamists, Israel & Turkey have had a very working close relationship, a fact not lost on the MSM, which has occasionally commented on same. Wouldn't it be "shocking" were we to find that Ankara was the proxy state?

So when are these people going to jail?
