SIBEL EDMONDS BOMBSHELL NEVER MENTIONED
I have been watching the MSM since Sibel Edmonds testified, under oath, about all of our crooked politicians and "state secrets" she revealed in Ohio. There has been NO mention of her or ANY of her testimony on any network.
Didn't Edmonds testify (as an FBI whistle blower), and name names of politicians who were bribed and blackmailed by a foreign government to vote how they were told? Didn't she say who was selling NUCLEAR information to foreign powers? I thought she testified about election fraud and vote stealing in America.
Honestly, I didn't even see a blurb on DEMOCRACY NOW about it. This is the story that comes around maybe once in a generation. Are we going to let this evidence of treason (and possibly 3000 murders in the WTC bombings) go unnoticed and unpunished? We know that the MSM will not report on it, but we as citizens, have to demand that this information be pursued and publicly acknowledged.
What has our Nation come to when even gross treason is swept under the rug. I fully expected on Sunday, that the Sibel Edmonds testimony would be world wide news. Did I dream it all?

13. ZERO word from the MSM
Do a Google News search, and here are the publications reporting it:

Brad Blog
Pakistan Daily
Armenian Weekly
Kurdish Aspect
Asbarez News
Armenian Reporter
Zee News
Times of India

The Indian media took the most telling line with it, to wit:

US, Osama shared intimate ties till 9/11

Washington: In a candid claim, former FBI translator Sibel Edmonds on Friday said that the terms shared by US with al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden and Taliban were ‘intimate’.

“With those groups (al Qaeda and Taliban), we had operations in Central Asia, and that relationship - using them as we did during the Afghan and Soviet conflict - we used them all the way until September 11”, former Turkish language translator said on the radio program, Mike Malloy Show.

Edmonds further questioned, “What we have been doing, what we were doing in those years, all the way, all the way until that day of September 11, in Central Asia, in what they call East Turkistan where we are talking about the Uighurs, and with Bin Laden, via Turkey.”


No other media anywhere in the world picked it up. You'd think at least the Australians would be interested. But maybe Rupert Murdoch has them sewn up by now.

4. The legal team controls release of testimony video and transcripts
Any MSM would likely sit on this story a few days until those are available. Since the testimony ended Saturday afternoon in August, I am not surprised at the lack of coverage so far.

You cannot expect Google, et al to suddenly have it on frontpage of News. They routinely censor content in various ways, plus their results are easily manipulated. So we need to watch for any coverage, maybe local in Ohio, and then use our resources to make it more visible.

Even those at DU who are skeptical of SE's claims should still view this a big story.

11. Who's skeptical of Sibel? She had a "State Secrets Gag Order" slapped on her.

8. No idea, I don't watch her.
Generally my news is completely online or from MSNBC prime time.

7. CBS is a possibility - 60 Minutes did a story on Sibel years ago
A followup might be in order.

12. I was hoping at least Keith or Rachel would cover it
admittedly I didn't watch ALL of both shows, but from what I saw, and the lack of any talk here about it, it appears they did not. :(
