Big props to The American Conservative, Philip Giraldi, Brad Friedman and Sibel Edmonds herself for striving to make this story heard.

Edmonds’ allegations are just that — allegations. But they are credible, deserving of investigation, and newsworthy.

If no one in the “lamestream” media will report on them, it is hard to avoid the conclusion that Zionists indeed DO control substantially all U.S. media and that selling nuclear and other secrets is OK if you’re Jewish (or Turkish).

Let’s get real, also, that if Wolfie, Perle, and Doug Feith were chatting up a split of Iraq in the summer of 2001, that’s circumstantial proof that they knew of, if indeed they were not involved with, the impending event, the “galvanizing and cataclysmic” event, that would give the Bush Administration a free hand to launch wars against both Afghanistan and Iraq.

If the Obama Administration does not do a “balls-out” investigation of these charges, this Mayflower descendant is taking his family and getting the hell out. We’re a puppet state, we’re a Potemkin republic, we’re toast.

God bless Sibel, her supporters, and The American Conservative.

As long as we are willing to sell our democracy to the highest bidder, be it Wall Street, international corporations, or foreign interests, this will remain the status quo. In his Farewell Address to the nation, Eisenhower warned us of the unholy alliance of the military-industrial complex, but no one heeded his words of wisdom. Now we find ourselves in the midst of a national emergency that is undeclared, ignored, and in the process of being swept under the carpet by the corporate news media by their very failure to report on it.

The American People have been played as “fools” by politicians from BOTH parties, and most are completely unaware that this process has been ongoing for decades. We have been convinced that we have a 2 party system, whereas we have but 2 wings of the same party – “The Party of Wall Street” or “The Corporation Party”. They finance our elections, subsidize our politicians, manufacture our voting machines and control who gets to go to the debates.

The current hue & cry about Obama socializing the country is more a ‘political smokescreen’ to hide the real issues, since, after all, the process began when Bush bailed out Wall Street last September and NOT when Obama was sworn in this past January. Instead of reporting on the story of Sibel Edmonds finally breaking her silence, the corporate news media was reporting to us on the death of Michael Jackson being ruled a homicide. I rest my case!

Regardless of what the Supreme Court may “think”, money is NOT free speech (and a corporation is not an individual endowed with inalienable rights by their creator). Money buys things, and speech is meant to convey ideas – and never the twain shall meet. Most (not all) of our elected representatives are bought-and-paid for by industry lobbyists and their corporate sponsors, or foreign interests, or both.

Each election cycle, our newly elected Congress quickly learns that fund raising is the most important activity to engage in as a freshman Congressman / Congresswoman. There is NO reason to believe that the details testified to by Sibel Edmonds are restricted to the Turkish Lobby in America, and that therefore, it must be assumed this is merely the tip of the iceberg. Unless and until we are willing to take-back our democracy from the financiers of our political process (both domestic and from abroad) by instituting serious campaign finance reforms and holding our corrupt leaders accountable, do not expect anything to change in your lifetime, or that of your children or grandchildren.

I thought the media was suppose to keep government honest, they were suppose to be the ones reporting the facts….good or bad to us the people so we can hold them accountable.

Have I been blissfully ignorant to what really going on in my government?? So worried about my day to day life to really see what the hell is going on with my country?? Its time that us the people stood up and demanded our government be accountable, and prosecute all those dirty politicans and lobbyist who are are only out for themselves aren’t doing the people’s work, and are traitors to our country.

There are historic examples of what I mean. No one in their right mind denies the patriotism of the Japanese Americans. This is because they studiously avoided all collaboration with the Japanese Empire, and have not organized themselves into a pro-japan racial lobby. I know some white people who still don’t like them. But the answer of the Japanese Americans is, who cares?

Italian Americans have a similar history. They were not respected when they came but have prospered and are extremely loyal. Does everyone like them, no. do they care, no.

Bobby Jindhal (sp?) from Louisiana is of Indian extraction. He sounds like a southerner, so he is accepted.

I hope this helps.

You wrote, “What is in America’s interests is for a better world. If self interest was the golden rule for all policies, then American politicians accepting bribes from foreign governments at the expense of national interests would be justifiable.” How many times have we gullible Americans been led down the garden path by such sophistry? American congressmen are getting bribes and threats from both the Turks and you Armenians. And it all needs to stop.

As for Vague ethnicity, If you are uncomfortable here, bugger off. The statute of limitations on white guilt ran out a few years ago.

It’s very easy for someone who is ignorant of the Armenian genocide to quarantine the event as a ‘feud’ imported to America by foreigners. However, it is quite the opposite. The American diplomats and missionaries resident in Turkey witnessed the event and participated in the relief effort to save the lives of those who survived. The American people helped raise over 110 million dollars at the time in what was America’s first major international humanitarian relief effort. Many prominent Americans (not Armenians) advocated for punishing the Turkish government for their crimes.

What is in America’s interests is for a better world. If self interest was the golden rule for all policies, then American politicians accepting bribes from foreign governments at the expense of national interests would be justifiable.

Brad Friedman is correct to connect him to the posting name of “Norman Israel”. Usually he keeps his absurd comments for the very lucky browsers of the Turkish forum at Topix.net or certain blogs of the Orange County Register, but you have drawn him out from his usual lairs.

As president-elect of the ATAA. Kirlikovali is slated to assume the presidency of said organization at the end of Gunay Hakki Ovunc’s term. Ovunc himself has an interesting relationship with a certain Turkish mercenary firm based in the US. This firm has a big compound in Silopi, lots of military equipment, and employs lots of former Turkish contra-guerrillas. They’re running “security” operations in Iraq.

All of that is another story, though.

It’s too bad that the future president of the ATAA can’t learn to keep his big mouth shut or, more appropriately, refrain from clicking the “Submit Comment” button. It makes one wonder whose statements more accurately reflect the real attitude (and agenda) of the ATAA; those of Kirlikovali or of Ovunc? Upon taking office, Ovunc stated that the “ATAA is a proud interlocutor, as the voice of reason and credibility in Washington DC for nearly 500,000 Turkish and Turkic Americans nationwide.”

So, which is it?

Notice, too, that the ATAA claims to speak not only for Turkish Americans but Turkic Americans as well. And there is a difference between the two. But since you spent time in the region, Mr. Giraldi, I’m sure you’re aware of that difference and what it means.
