'Confusion and inconsistencies': How US plans to distract public from
real truth about Boston
RT.com
April 21, 2013
The initial questions about the Boston bombing are behind us, but
former FBI employee Sibel Edmonds believes the pursuit of truth will
eventually lead to a far more secret agenda by the US, which she
reveals to RT.
The United States is having to quickly wake up to the possibility that
Chechens are not the `freedom fighters' Western media has been
categorizing them as, especially when it came to the Republic's
relationship to Russia. But even the newly formed perceptions may not
be enough when it comes to investigating the motives and planning
behind the Boston bombing, according to Edmonds, who is also a founder
of the National Security Whistleblowers Coalition.
With the dust somewhat settled after the capture of the younger
suspect, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, Edmonds believes there will only be more
unanswered questions in an investigation already plagued by obvious
inconsistencies and falsities, which she recounts at length.
RT: We've learned in the last hour that Russia warned the FBI about
the older Tsarnaev brother and his potential links with radical
Islamists, but the FBI found nothing suspicious. How is that possible?
Sibel Edmonds: Actually, we predicted that the unnamed foreign country
[Western media didn't name the source immediately] was in fact Russia,
two days ago. We have too little facts, too much false information and
speculations. But just look at the period they are talking about. When
you listen to the suspect's mother, she's talking about a period of
three to five years. According to FBI officials, they received this
information, this warning, in 2011. So we have that inconsistency
right there. The other important inconsistency that we should pay
attention to is the mother's description of FBI mannerisms and
conversation with the suspects and the family when they were visiting
them for the last three to five years. That fits exactly the
recruitment style of the intelligence community. When you go to the
suspects, and one moment you're saying `We know you're decent, we know
you're doing nothing wrong, we know you're good', and the next minute
they're saying `You can be dangerous', right after receiving that
information from the Russian government, to threaten them with that
information for what purpose - to recruit them as informants or for
other agendas.
RT: We spoke to the mother last night. She said there is no way on
earth they could have been involved in a heinous crime like this, that
she knew everything about them and they could not have been potential
terrorists. However, could there be another side to these people that
they didn't even let their mother know, is that not feasible?
SE: Well, again, we don't have real information from our source in the
last 48 hours. I found out that they had been associating the brothers
- especially the older one =80` with very wealthy individual Turkish
persons, some of them students in Boston, some businessmen...really
modern people. And we haven't received any information that they [the
brothers] had been associating with Chechens, even the radicals. So
that itself is another major inconsistency in this story.
RT: Similarities are being drawn between the 'pressure cooker' bombs
used in Boston and those which Al Qaeda gets English-speaking
terrorists to use. Just how much does this prove in terms of the
bombers' links with the terrorist group?
SE: Again, it's way too early to comment on this and I think that
whole notion right now sounds really, really weak. Because the US
government, when it is convenient, one minute talk about how
sophisticated Al Qaeda has become - in fact they're as sophisticated
as the NSA [US National Security Agency] - they are talking about
their ability to obtain laptop, or suitcase bombs, nuclear bombs...and
the next moment they are talking about this amateurish home-made
ability. So, as far as the government is concerned, I think it's too
early to buy this either from the US media or the government.
This situation is really similar to the Bin Laden shooting. Every day
the story changed. And this is what we are going to see in the next
few days. They are going to change the story, they are going to throw
so much confusion and inconsistencies and conflicting data that no one
is going to figure out what actually happened, especially if the
second suspect dies.
RT: There's been a tendency in the Western media to portray armed
groups in the Chechnya as freedom fighters. Is that going to change at
all after this?
SE: We all have to really look at the timing of this, because again
the US media is portraying this incident by itself. It's not putting
it in the context of things that have been happening in the past -
let's say one year so - or recent stuff - we had this case of NGOs
being shut down by the Russian government, which was a very smart
move, because we know that the majority of these NGOs have CIA
agendas, as they're operated and managed by CIA people. And this is
one way of infiltrating Russia by the US government, the CIA.
So, if you start putting these in context and also add the fact that
Russia has been the biggest obstacle for the United States to get in
and directly attack Syria - that's when you start to see the bigger
picture and that's what the people should be paying attention
to. Again, the false information that is being put forth by US media
is that since the fall of the Soviet Union the United States has
refrained from intervening in the Russia-Chechnya situation. And that
is purely false. Since mid-1990's, the US directly, or through Turkey
has been arming, training, managing, orchestrating not only Chechens
but also other factions in the region - and we are looking at Central
Asia and the Caucasus.
