Letter from Sibel Edmonds - (100% Reagan-Free Post!)
Edited on Mon Jun-07-04 08:04 AM by nostamj
Your Support Is Needed
June 14th, 9:30 AM -- U.S. District Court
3rd & Constitution Ave (Constitution Ave. Entrance)



For over two years Attorney General John Ashcroft has been relentlessly engaged in covering up my reports and investigations into my allegations. He has asserted the rarely invoked State Secret Privilege in my court proceedings, and has used it to quash a subpoena request for my deposition from attorneys representing 9/11 family members on information regarding 9/11.

Ashcroft is not protecting 'national security' or 'state secrets' of the United States. On the contrary, he is endangering our national security by covering up facts and information related to criminal and terrorist activities against this country and it's citizens. Ashcroft is fully aware that making this information public will bring about the question of accountability, will expose serious criminal activities, and his complicity in covering up.

On Monday, June 14, 2004, at 10:00 AM, Judge Reggie Walton is expected to issue his ruling on the state secret privilege assertion by AG Ashcroft, which is intended to gag me. The hearing will be held in US District Court for the District of Columbia, located at 3rd and Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC, Judge Walton's courtroom. Please attend if you can, since by your presence both the court and Ashcroft will understand that this attempt to cover up will not go unnoticed.

I will be there, in front of the Court's Constitution Avenue entrance, at 9:30 AM, and will be joined by Daniel Ellsberg to make press statements and to meet with all of you.

Hope to see you there,
Sibel D. Edmonds

P.S. Look for 60 Minutes to do another segment on this case next Sunday.

what a great American hero.

The tide that has swept us into these dark times would've drowned us without true patriots like Daniel Ellsberg.

4. Where would we be without people like Sibel Edmonds?
She's the hero now. How many major newspapers do you think will be there to talk to her that day? I wonder? Maybe after the 60 minutes interview some interest will be peaked but somehow I doubt it.

What I'm hoping is that Sibel Edmonds and Valerie Plame will be the two new heroes who bring this admin down and relegate it to the dustbin of history.

7. As I read your post, I couldn't help but . . .
Edited on Mon Jun-07-04 09:27 AM by msmcghee
. . imagine some sick wingnut lurker noticing that Edmonds and Ellsberg will both be in a particular place, outside and vulnerable . . probably even surrounded by some sympathetic reporters and friends.

Hopefully, he would be smart enough to realize that any violence done to an enemy of Bush* right now, this close to the election, would probably turn any remaining non-aligned voters out there to the left.

We live in ugly times that cause these images. This is what the RW has done to us and our country.

(On edit: Changed Nader to Ellsberg. Now there's an EMBF - "early morning brain fart" for you. They do look something alike. ):eyes:

8. Sibel Edmonds and Riggs Bank
Edited on Mon Jun-07-04 09:23 AM by seemslikeadream
I'm trying to follow the Riggs Bank story. There's a mention of Sibel.


Hijacked bank

Questions also remain regarding the web of money transfers from Princess Haifa, Prince Bandar and the daughter of late King Faisal, some of which reached Nawaf Alhazmi and fellow terrorist Khalid Almihdar.Princess Haifa's bank account--the source of the funds which ultimately supported the alleged hijackers--was with Riggs Bank where Jonathan J. Bush, the brother of former President George H. W. Bush and uncle of President George W. Bush, is CEO, President and Director of Riggs' investment management subsidiary.

snip

After Al Bayoumi fled the U.S. to England in July, 2001--two months before the attacks, Princess Haifa's Riggs Bank checks were then sent to Osama Basnan, who with his wife Majeda Dweikat, were both later to be found in the U.S. illegally as a result of poor or suspicious State Department visa supervision.

Former FBI linguist Sibel Edmonds said she found evidence of espionage in both the State Department and the FBI in pre-9/11 translations of intelligence intercepts--which also warned about planes used as weapons well before the attacks.A federal law enforcement source said Basnan was a known "al-Qaeda sympathizer" who "celebrated the heroes of September 11" at a party after the attacks and openly talked about "what a wonderful, glorious day it had been," according to Newsweek.

Al Bayoumi and Basnan both befriended Alhazmi and fellow Saudi hijacker Khalid Almihdar after they arrived in San Diego, according to the sources; and the Riggs checks from Prince Bandar's wife helped the terroists pay rent and living expences in the months just prior to the attacks, according to reports. Newsweek said Al Bayoumi helped them obtain social security cards and helped them arrange for flying lessons in Florida--indicating dramatic evidence of the state of congressional internal security oversight.

Basnan was convicted of visa fraud and deported to Saudi Arabia on November 17, 2002. His wife Majida Ibrahim--who had also laundered checks from Riggs Bank--was deported the same day to her native Jordan for visa violations. (Washington Post, 9-24, 2002) Reasons were not given why the White House allowed the high profile suspects to leave the country on charges much less important than being implicated as an accessory to mass murder.

12. Thanks, seemslikeadream. I think this is very important.
What Sibel says dovetails with what we're learning about Riggs and Jonathan Bush. If we follow the money, we'll unravel the clandestine network that gave us 9/11 and promises more of the same. It stinks like BCCI and Iran/Contra.


"You get to a point where it gets very complex, where you have money laundering activities, drug related activities, and terrorist support activities converging at certain points and becoming one."

...

"...once, and if, and when this issue gets to be, under real terms, investigated, you will be seeing certain people that we know from this country standing trial; and they will be prosecuted criminally."

May it be so!

43. Tatyana Koryagina

Edited on Sat May-08-04 10:27 PM by Tinoire

Thanks for posting that!

====================================



The other day, I was listening to a tape made by Rick Wiles. His guest was a woman named Tatyana Koryagina. Mrs. Koryagina is a leading economist and major research fellow at the Institute of Macro Economics Research, which is under the Russian Ministry of Economic Development.

Dr. Koragina is a trusted advisor to Russia’s President, Vladamir Putin. She gained prominence by accurately predicting the collapse of the Russian economy in 1998.

Then…on July 12th 2001, she predicted the collapse of the American economy after an attack on the US. This is pretty scary as she predicted this to happen on August 19th…which…ironically was only a few weeks before the attack on the World Trade Center.

<snip>

She wouldn’t get much more specific but went on to say that these groups have realized that their slow growth movement has lost its appeal and is losing momentum. Her research showed that the American and world economies are going to literally explode and come to a total collapse very soon and they needed to do something to lay blame at some else’s doorstep. She then said something that really piqued my interest and alluded to some of the players. She said, “For instance, who is responsible for the loss of 5 trillion dollars of the American peoples money in securities, in a collapsed market? She also brought up the issue of massive insider trading just days before the WTC attack and went on to say that there are volumes of documentation available beyond the mountain of evidence in her possession. She said the trail would lead directly to the most prestigious and wealthiest people in the world therefore they needed something to preoccupy the suspicious. Also mentioned was the coming rollacoster ride in oil prices due to the Israeli and Palestinian conflict that will no doubt erupt soon. Her belief in the world economy collapse is based on the estimation of the world wealth, about 450 trillion dollars by most economists account,in securities, futures, etc…and the known outcome of the worlds markets is only thirty trillion. This vast gap cannot be concealed much longer.

<snip>

Dr. Koryagina said that it is inevitable that this can’t be concealed forvery much longer but by the time the public awakens to the facts, they will be naked in the streets. <snip>

The original transcripts of her talks/interviews were posted on the old DU.
There's one here: http://www.schillerinstitute.org/duma/duma_koryagina.html

===

Pravda Wrote of Financial 'Attack' on U.S.

Consider the July 12, 2001, Page One report in Pravda – still considered the establishment voice of Russia's old guard communists who control the military and intelligence agencies.

The Pravda article was entitled "Will the Dollar and America Fall Down on August 19? That's the Opinion of Dr. Tatyana Koryagina, Who Very predicted the August Default in 1998."

This article struck me for several reasons. Major newspapers so closely aligned with the government do not attempt to create panic or fear in the public – unless the government wants this information to be publicly aired.

<snip>

This Pravda article was published about the same time as another strange event that took place in early July in the Russian State Duma.

The Duma held a conference entitled "On the measures to provide the development of Russian economy in the environment of destabilization of the world financial system."

<snip>

<snip> The main theme of the Duma hearings was the rapidly approaching economic crash of the United States.

The hearings focused on preparing recommendations for President Putin as to what Russia should to do to soften the consequences of this coming catastrophe.

Here is an excerpt:



Pravda: All the participants at the hearings stated that America is a huge financial pyramid which will crash soon. Still, it is hard to understand how this could happen in the first and richest country of the world – without a war, without missile or bomb strikes?

Koryagina: Besides bombs and missiles, there are other kinds of weaponry, much more destructive ones. ...

Pravda: Well, economic theory. But how it is possible for you to give an exact date – August 19?

Koryagina: The U.S. is engaged in a mortal economic game. The known history of civilization is merely the visible part of the iceberg. There is a shadow economy, shadow politics and also a shadow history, known to conspirologists. There are forces acting in the world, unstoppable for countries and even continents.

<snip>

Pravda: What should Russian citizens do?

Koryagina: They should start changing their dollars for rubles. President Putin and the Russian Central Bank are already taking the necessary healthy measures. There are high chances that after 19 August the ruble will become a very good currency.

Pravda: Why 19 August, say, and not the 21st?

Koryagina: Some fluctuation in this date is possible. Serious forces are acting against THOSE WHO ARE NOW PREPARING THE ATTACK ON THE UNITED STATES . August, with very high probability, will bring the financial catastrophe to the U.S. ... The last 10 days of August have especial importance from a religious-sensible point of view.

<snip>

(Damn I hate quoting Newsmax but this information is fast disappearing from the net)



The Duma urged Russian citizens to cash out their dollars and switch to gold, even issued a gold coin right about that time.
