The Ties That Bind Washington to Chechen Bombers
By Wayne Madsen
(USA)
To scan the list of major American supporters of the Chechen secessionist
movement, which at some points can hardly be distinguished from Chechen
terrorists financed by U.S. allies Saudi Arabia and Qatar, is to be
reminded of some of the most notorious U.S. Cold War players.Evidence is
mounting that the accused dead Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev,
allegedly killed during an April 19 shootout with police in Watertown,
Massachusetts, became a «radicalized» Muslim while participating in a
covert CIA program, run through the Republic of Georgia, to destabilize
Russia's North Caucasus region=85 The ultimate goal of the CIA's campaign was
for the Muslim inhabitants of the region to declare independence from
Moscow and tilt toward the U.S. Wahhabi Muslim-run governments of Saudi
Arabia and Qatar.The Western corporate media largely ignored an important
story reported by Izvestia in Moscow: that
Tamerlan Tsarnaev attended seminars run by the Caucasus Fund of Georgia, a
group affiliated with the neo-conservative think tank, the Jamestown
Foundation, between January and July 2012. The U.S. media reported that
during this six month time frame, Tsarnaev was being radicalized by
Dagestan radical imam «Abu Dudzhan», killed in a fight with Russian
security forces in 2012. Tsarnaev also visited Dagestan in 2011.
However, in documents leaked from the Georgian Ministry of Internal
Affairs' Counterintelligence Department, Tsarnaev is pinpointed as being
in
Tbilisi taking part in «seminars» organized by the Caucasus Fund, founded
during the Georgian-South Ossetian war of 2008, a war started when Georgian
troops invaded the pro-Russian Republic of South Ossetia during the Beijing
Olympics. Georgia was supported militarily and with intelligence support by
the United States and Israel, and the American support included U.S.
Special Forces advisers on the ground in Georgia. The Georgian intelligence
documents indicate Tsarnaev attended the Jamestown Foundation seminars in
Tbilisi.
The Jamestown Foundation is part of a neo-conservative network that
re-branded itself after the Cold War from being anti-Soviet and
anti-Communist to one that is anti-Russian and `pro-democracy.' The network
not only consists of Jamestown and the Caucasus Fund but also other groups
funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and George
Soros' Open Society Institute (OSI).
Georgia has become a nexus for the U.S. aid to the Russian opposition
trying to oust President Vladimir Putin and his supporters from power. In
March [2010], Georgia sponsored, with CIA, Soros, and British MI-6 funds, a
conference titled `Hidden Nations, Enduring Crimes: The Circassians and the
People of the North Caucasus Between Past and Future.' Georgia and its CIA,
Soros, and British intelligence allies are funneling cash and other support
for secessionism by ethnic minorities in Russia, including Circassians,
Chechens, Ingushetians, Balkars, Kabardins, Abaza, Tatars, Talysh, and
Kumyks».
The March 21, 2010 conference in Tbilisi was organized by the Jamestown
Foundation and the International School of Caucasus Studies at Ilia State
University in Georgia. If Georgian counter-intelligence documents have
Tamerlan Tsarnaev attending Jamestown conferences in Tbilisi in 2011, could
the Russian FSB have tracked him to the Jamestown Hidden Nations seminar in
March 2010? In any event, a year later the FSB decided to contact the FBI
about Tsarnaev's ties to terrorists.
The first Russian request to the FBI came via the FBI's Legal Attache's
office at the U.S. embassy in Moscow in March 2011. It took the FBI until
June of 2011 to conclude that Tamerlan posed no terrorist threat but it did
add his name to the Treasury Enforcement Communications System, or TECS,
which monitors financial information such as bank accounts held abroad and
wire transfers. In September 2011, Russian authorities, once again, alerted
the U.S. of their suspicions about Tamerlan. The second alert went to the
CIA. By September 2011, Russian security agencies were well aware that the
Hidden Nations seminar held a year earlier was a CIA-sponsored event that
was supported by the Mikheil Saakashvili government in Georgia and that
other similar meetings had been held and were planned, including the one
that Tamerlan Tsarnaev was to attend in Tbilisi in January 2012.
At some point in time after the first Russian alert and either before or
after the second, the CIA entered Tamerlan's name into the Terrorist
Identities Datamart Environment list (TIDE), a database with more than
750,000 entries that is maintained by the National Counterterrorism Center
in McLean, Virginia.
The Jamestown Foundation is a long-standing front operation for the CIA, it
being founded, in part, by CIA director William Casey in 1984. The
organization was used as an employer for high-ranking Soviet bloc
defectors, including the Soviet Undersecretary General of the UN Arkady
Shevchenko and Romanian intelligence official Ion Pacepa. The Russian
domestic Federal Security Bureau and the SVR foreign intelligence agency
have long suspected Jamestown of helping to foment rebellions in Chechnya,
Ingushetia, and other north Caucasus republics. The March 21 Tbilisi
conference on the north Caucasus a few days before the Moscow train
bombings has obviously added to the suspicions of the FSB and SVR.
Jamestown's board includes such Cold War era individuals as Marcia
Carlucci; wife of Frank Carlucci, the former CIA officer, Secretary of
Defense, and Chairman of The Carlyle Group [Frank Carlucci was also one of
those who requested the U.S. government to allow former Chechen Republic
'Foreign Minister' Ilyas Akhmadov, accused by the Russians of terrorist
ties, to be granted political asylum in the U.S. after a veto from the
Homeland Security and Justice Departments], anti-Communist book and
magazine publisher Alfred Regnery; and Caspar Weinberger's Deputy Assistant
Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs Kathleen Troia «KT» McFarland.
Also
on the board is former Oklahoma GOP Governor Frank Keating, the governor at
the time of the 1995 Murrah Federal Building bombing.
Cooperating with Jamestown in not only its north and south Caucasus
information operations, but also in Moldovan, Belarusian, Uighur, and
Uzbekistan affairs, is George Soros's ubiquitous Open Society Institute,
another cipher for U.S. intelligence and global banking interests. Soros's
Central Eurasia Project has sponsored a number of panels and seminars with
Jamestown.
Russian security indicated in their first communication with the FBI that
Tamerlan Tsarnaev had changed drastically since 2010. That change came
after the Hidden Nations conference in Tbilisi. U.S. support for Chechen
and North Caucasus secession came as a result of a public statement on
August 2008 by GOP presidential candidate John McCain that «after Russia
illegally recognized the independence of South Ossetia and Abkhazia,
Western countries ought to think about the independence of the North
Caucasus and Chechnya».
Upon becoming President in 2009, Barack Obama adopted McCain's proposal and
authorized CIA support for North Caucasus secessionists and terrorists with
money laundered through the USAID, the National Endowment for Democracy,
Soros's Open Society Institute, Freedom House, and the Jamestown
Foundation. In January 2012, Obama appointed a Soros activist and neocon,
Michael McFaul of the right-wing Hoover Institution at Stanford University,
as U.S. ambassador to Moscow. McFaul immediately threw open the doors of
the U.S. embassy to a variety of Russian dissidents, including
secessionists from the North Caucasus, some of whom were suspected by the
Russian FSB of ties to Islamist terrorists.

Tamerlan Tsarnaev was always a CIA asset and participated in a `false flag'
operation in Boston and became an unwitting `patsy' in a CIA plot, much
like `U.S. Marine `defector' to the Soviet Union Lee Harvey Oswald became a
`patsy' in President Kennedy's
assassination,
or he was indeed radicalized in an attempt to infiltrate him into the ranks
of the Caucasus Emirate and decided to defect and carry out a terrorist
attack against the United States may never be known. If the latter is the
case, Tsarnaev is much like Osama Bin Laden, once a CIA fighter in the
field in Afghanistan who allegedly decided to launch a jihad against the
United States. If Tsarnaev was a `patsy' like Oswald, that might explain
the setting off of an incendiary device at the John F. Kennedy Library in
Boston ten minutes after the twin bombings at the Boston Marathon. After
Boston Police stated the fire was caused by an explosion, the Boston Fire
Department went into cover-up mode and tried to claim the fire could have
been caused by someone tossing a cigarette on to flammable material.
