During my recent interview with FBI translator-turned-whistleblower Sibel Edmonds on the Mike Malloy Show, a caller had asked her opinion on whether she believed 9/11 to have been “an inside job.”
Edmonds replied by first specifying “As I have done for the past 7 or 8 years, I have basically stuck with what I know, first-hand, directly, my own knowledge, based on my own experience, based on what I obtained, which is not a lot, but it is extremely important.”
After explaining the difference between what she does and doesn’t know first hand, she went on to explain: “I have information about things that our government has lied to us about. I know. For example, to say that since the fall of the Soviet Union we ceased all of our intimate relationship with Bin Laden and the Taliban – those things can be proven as lies, very easily, based on the information they classified in my case, because we did carry very intimate relationship with these people, and it involves Central Asia, all the way up to September 11.” …
Her complete response, pulled from the lengthy interview (full, commercial-free audio here) has been transcribed by Luke Ryland, perhaps the world’s foremost expert in all things Sibel Edmonds related.
Today in a highly-recommended diary at dKos, Ryland filled in a good chunk of details from Edmonds’ references, reporting that her comments are, in fact, a “bombshell”…
In the interview, Sibel says that the US maintained ‘intimate relations’ with Bin Laden, and the Taliban, “all the way until that day of September 11.”
These ‘intimate relations’ included using Bin Laden for ‘operations’ in Central Asia, including Xinjiang, China. These ‘operations’ involved using al Qaeda and the Taliban in the same manner “as we did during the Afghan and Soviet conflict,” that is, fighting ‘enemies’ via proxies.
As Sibel has previously described, and as she reiterates in this latest interview, this process involved using Turkey (with assistance from ‘actors from Pakistan, and Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia’) as a proxy, which in turn used Bin Laden and the Taliban and others as a proxy terrorist army.
After filling in many of the details, with scores of informational links to support the allegations, Ryland summarizes thusly:
It is important to understand why: the US outsourced terror operations to al Qaeda and the Taliban for many years, promoting the Islamization of Central Asia in an attempt to personally profit off military sales as well as oil and gas concessions.
The silence by the US government on these matters is deafening. So, too, is the blowback.

Wasn’t he Tim Osman or something?
Ask Sibel to watch “Fabled Enemies” and get back to us how accurate it is
It was an INSIDE JOB!!!!!!!
Would anyone believe any of these?
In a complex and well-coordinated heist, combining speed and stealth with an uncanny knowledge of automobile security systems, four tots hotwired a Toyota Land Rover and cruised along fabled Deco Drive in South Beach Miami. The merry group spent the evening crashing top night spots and easily eluding waitresses, bartenders and bouncers. Credit card receipts, obviously signed by one of the tots, showed thousands in charges for table dances, champagne and limo service. A crayon drawing left by one of the tots lent conclusive proof of their guilt, according to local law enforcement officials.

A trio of nuns broke into a North Dakota missile site in a complex and well-coordinated heist, combining speed and stealth with an uncanny knowledge of USAF security systems. The nuns quickly removed the nuclear warhead in 20 minutes from the ICBM using a crescent wrench, car jack and plastic crucifix. A nun’s habit and Gideon Bible, inscribed with the name of one of the nuns, providently found at the crime scene, indicated conclusive proof of their guilt and the trio was quickly captured.

A pair of elderly pensioners swiped two Abrams M1A1 tanks yesterday and crashed them into the Virginia state capitol after driving them 150 miles undetected. In a complex and well-coordinated heist, combining speed and stealth with an uncanny knowledge of US Army security systems, the senior citizens swiped the tanks from a National Guard armory. After crashing the tanks into the office building, the pair fled on foot, eluding hundreds of lawmen. But a dog-eared copy of National Geographic magazine, found at the crime scene addressed to one of the octogenarians, lead to the speedy arrest and confinement of the pair.
WARNING!
If you want an intellegent dialog about this DO NOT click on link over to kos.
As usual, group think prevails over there – the thread mostly flames anyone that is even modestly supportive of her and I am sure a few that indicate supporting with sibel will ultimately be banned.
Kos is a republican that decided he can have more influence by creating a blog that proclaims itself to be “progressive” while flaming, fanning, and banning anyone that actually has progressive ideas.
Interviewed Today on Democracy Now, Frank Lindh, John Walker Lindh’s father, said that his son had gone into Afghanistan in the Spring of 2001 to help the Taliban defend civilians who “were under attack by the Northern Alliance warlords, who were backed not by the United States, but by the Russians and the Iranians…”

I dunno Brad. This guy sounds like he might be threatening you. (No offense to Muslims)
After looking at this guys Blogspot profile I am actually very concerned for Brad’s safety now. This guy is not playing with a full suit, let alone a full deck. He believes is is High Priest of some wacko bullshit. This does not sound like your run-of-the-mill wingnuttery.
By the way, Mr. High Priest, since you have put yourself out there, don’t think you can’t be tracked down.
The cuckoo seeks his nest
There’z GONNA B LOTZ O TWISTS & BURNS B4 we
get the FACTS on bush/chainey 911 dot connects..
BUT…LOTS..of…CURIOUS…MINDS…..WANNA….KNOW !
The nonse that 9/11 was an “inside job” by the gum’mint is warmed-ver far-right lunatic fringe conspirabunk which they flung at the OK City bombing, but it didn’t stick. This time the Left has swallowed it.
Things aren’t that complicated (except in the “”minds” of those who believe themselves exceptionally “clever”). It needn’t go beyond _allowing_ it to happen: there were the warnings that were ignored.
Big surprise: 911 was an inside job.
No entity kills more. No entity plunders more. No one entity violates more individual rights more often, with more impunity. And none spews more propaganda and lies. History proves this beyond a shadow of a doubt. Be it a monarchy, oligarchy, union of socialist republics, or a communist Nation-State like the people’s republic of china, you can rest assured that a big powerful government will be the bane of Liberty every time. It has always been this way.
911 Truth
Why is anyone surprised by this allegation about of Osama Bin Laden, just a continuation of his other activity.
Osama bin Laden was reliably seen in both Albania and Bosnia in the late 1990’s colluding with islamic militants together with the CIA, MI6 and German Intelligence.
The islamic terror criminal drugs lords, the KLA, who recently illegally annexed Kosovo courtesy of the above, was created then, as had been the Taliban and half a dozen other such groups in the past, UCK in Macedonia came later.
Osama bin laden was then a CIA asset. If he is alive he may well still be.
Something rather evil about attacking countries in the name of a ‘war on terror’ whilst creating, financing, training and then using ‘islamic terrorists’ to order when required.
Lets not forget the illegal attack on Serbia. The bombing back to the stoneage of a defenceless civilian population on behalf of an islamic terrorist organization (KLA) for why?. Oil pipelines and the convenience of the US CIA drug cartels and their nice little earner for the ‘black ops’.
The drugs conduit scenario has led on to Afghanistan and US/British mass murder there after their erstwhile puppets, the Taliban, turned on the hand that fed them and threatened the poppies.
Actually, the public record shows much more than just “allowing” things to happen. There were people were involved in withholding, destroying and tampering with evidence and no one was held accountable for even those grossly illegal behaviors. No one was held accountable for negligence.
As far as ridiculous stories go, the one we are supposed to swallow is that the greatest military power on earth was outwitted by a bunch of poverty stricken men on monkey bars.
So glad to read this piece. But just because 9/11 happened and bin Laden took credit for it does not rule out the possibility that the whole tragedy was not an “inside job.” Some Muslim friends believe that Muslims were not involved, saying that many of the names listed as “passengers” are alive and well in other countries.
I believe that the Muslims involved in the attacks were setups, especially given the totally unsubtle evidence garnered later in an abandoned car of the steps required to complete the project. I mean, criminals just don’t leave behind such overt evidence, unless it’s meant to sidetrack fools.
The fact that the US was in cahoots with Osama up until 9/11–well we “conspiracy theorists” might say that he still is. We did fly his family members out of the country right after 9/11, when airspace between here and Europe had been closed off. Too bad the press caught that–curses, foiled again, but not really. We the people were foiled hideously–many of us anyway.
History will reveal the truth, which is slowly coming to light anyway.
Sev.
This is actually old news as every person in the 9/11 truth movement have known this for 5-8 years.
Sad things is that unless we all stand up and do something about this then justice will never happen.
At least 50% of the population knows that 9/11 was an inside job.
The media has covered up this crime for far too long.
It is quite clear that Bush stole 2 elections as has been proven on this blog for many years.
It is even clearer that 3 steel framed high rise buildings collapsed and within 1 second of free fall speed on 9/11.
That BTW is not an improbability but a total impossibility, it is absolutely impossible for those buildings to have collapsed that quickly without the use of high explosives PERIOD.
That alone proves 9/11 was an inside job.
Then there is the mountain of evidence on top of that which all leads to the same conclusion.
You really have to be brain dead to believe the governments conspiracy theory which has not a shred of evidence to back it up.
The REAL wacko conspiracy theory is that 19 rag-tag hijackers with box cutters, under direct control of a man on a dialysis machine in a cave, somehow got past the most sophisticated military and air-traffic control system in the world.
MUST SEE videos, French comedian making the crowd ROAR by, essentially just stating the “official” story (lies). He doesn’t have to spice it up because what we have been asked to believe is just too insane!
9/11 – The Whole World Knows – Even The French Get It, Part 1
9/11 – The Whole World Knows – Even The French Get It, Part 2
Nunyabiz – spot on, and this is even true when the mainstream media and virtually ALL politicians continue to “catapult” the propaganda.
Image what the situation would be if there was an open and honest dialog.
Unfortunately, it is like the JFK assassination – most of America knows that warren commission and “oswald did it alone” is a lie too, but has not demanded anymore.
Best evidence suggests that the criminal cabal behind jfk (including the military-industrial complex) are the same interests that fraudulently hoisted and AWOL abusive alcoholic/cocaine addict into the white house as a “war president” via 2 stolen elections.
MUST SEE VIDEO: Bush Connection to JFK Assassination
Failure to hold the perpetrators accountable has SERIOUS and DETRIMENTAL effects on the public safety and future of our democracy.
Obviously, to any rational person with an ounce of intelligence who really looks into it, the govt’s official 9/11 story is bullshit.

Our respect for both Brad and Sibel aside, this is not news, not is it a bombshell. At TvNewsLIES.org we have written about the bin Laden – CIA connection for years. No matter what anyone believes, this is not about ‘inside jobs’ or conspiracy theories. It is about the absolute refusal of the msm to permit ANY discussion of the anomalies, omissions, and outright distortions of the offical story of 9/11. Mike Malloy is a gem… (as is Brad) – for opening the discussions at all.
This Wednesday, August 5th – Jesse Richard, editor and founder of TvNewsLIES.org will host Wayne Madsen on his weekly radio show. (8 pm ET) Madsen will outline the desperate moves of late by the NSA to halt the increasing leaks about the truth of what did happen on the day of the attacks. We have documented hundreds of pages of info and links to facts, not theories about that day. As more people learn the facts, the msm will be powerless to keep the truth from being told.
{Ed Note: Comment deleted. AJ, you’ve been here long enough to know our very few rules for posting comments. One of them is do not personally attack other commenters. Thanks for following that one (and the others) if you don’t mind. – BF}
reg doesn’t get it and should spend time updating his own silly blog.
IT IS ABOUT “inside jobs” and “conspiracy theories” because because the lies of the mainstream media are all about meeting political objectives.
What they lie about is more important than the widely accepted fact that lying liars tell lies.
First wrong assumption, Joe,…Reg is a female. Second, wrong assumption is not understanding that the ‘inside job’ concept is not the goal of the truth movement. Who did what can ONLY be revealed if there ever is an honest, impartial and public investigation that exposes the official nonsense to be as much a lie as the WMD hoax. None of the information has ben permitted to come out. We want it out in the open…then let people judge for themselves.
The infighting among those of us who know we’ve been had is such a waste of energy and time. So, let’s not argue, let’s just spread the truth as it comes out.
And, for the record, we update throughout the day..seven days a week. Like Brad, we’ve posted Sibel’s statements whenever and wherever she’s been permitted to speak.
Peace.
One more thing. The information that is out there has been posted by Brad and Mike Malloy and Mike Rovira and Alex Jones and a handful of others since 9/11. So much known, so little now a ‘bombshell’ to those who have followed.
http://www.tvnewslies.org/html/...aden_ties.html
Meanwhile Richard Gage is again on local TV news this time in Fresno Calif. telling it like it is.
We need a few hundred more interviews like this one all across the country.
http://www.fulltimeparttimejobs...for-911-truth/
Anyone left believing Bush and Cheney is retarded.
The Official Story is absurd.
Kudos to the Brad Blog for posting this.
It’s high time for a real investigation, treason trials and executions. Reparations paid and a formal apology to the rest of the planet.
Then Amerikkka might be looked at something else beside a country of warmongering psycopathic torturers.
Sibel Edmonds can keep singing her song but a detailed evaluation of the 9/11 evidence, or lack there of, is compelling enough to substantiate that there were no hijackers. So how does Sibel fit into this anomaly when she claims to have inside knowledge of flesh and blood hijackers when obviously the only hijackers were the cardboard cutout ones that the Federal government wrote into their 9/11 conspiracy script?
And if you read James Bamford’s latest book, what the NSA obtained from Yemen before September 11, because we were following two of these hijackers in Yemen… Well, if you put all those things, all this information that has come from various agencies, in one place, and you look at it, and you say “Wow!”
http://letsibeledmondsspeak.blo...ke-malloy.html
Reg – you don’t speak for the “truth” movement, though I see you have anointed yourself. Serious disservice to helping people understand the issues.
But the point IS THE LIES and no conversation about the media means anything without talking about the lies, then there is a framework about how they do it.
It is you that has it backwards, which is fine. I will accept anyone’s personal opinion (and this is mine).
Come here and blog whore all you like, people will see it for what it is. People also understand that without a continued dialog about the lies, it is not possible to discuss how they “catapult the propaganda”. Not hard to follow that logic, is it?
While I no longer check your site, I did regularly for a while until it became clear that there were never any updates to keep it in a current context.
Educating people about how the media is lying is one thing, not worth much however if we don’t then talk about what more-fully represents the truth.
oh – use of “he” was just third person. Neither I nor anyone else knows the gender of anonymous posters.
Sure, I could have used “she”, like many in academics now insist, but then folks that want to attack the messenger can just hammer you for getting that wrong.
Make a big deal about my choice of third person grammar if you like, you know that it is acceptable English, but that doesn’t fit your purpose, does it.
Reg: Nobody dictates what the goals of the truth movement are. The truth movement is whatever the millions of people that make it up want it to be, it is a bunch of completely disconnected individuals speaking for themselves and doing what suits them, you do not speak for them and certainly you do not speak for me.
The reality is the only real investigation at least before and probably after the dollar collapses will come from individuals and individual groups.
The government is not going to investigate this. You have to remove the very well ingrained ruling elite from power, which with all the government entitlement programs would take a catastrophe and then a revolution for your fantasy government it to do anything approaching what you claim it can do.
I am all for another sham investigation, but corruption rules just like it always has and the state is a criminal enterprise by nature anyway.
Good Speaker
You know what’s bizarre about rightwingers? They’ll believe something like Obama wasn’t born in the U.S., which really has no evidence.
But, they won’t explore about 9/11, questions reputable people have, such as: scientists, engineers, pilots, some government employees, eyewitnesses, professors of physics & mathematics, etc…
That’s why I question the official 9/11 story. That’s why I don’t question Obama not being born in the U.S. I see no evidence of it. Evidence and claims by reputable people are what count to me.
I don’t believe what I “want to believe”. I look at the evidence presented, and also use my own brain and logic, and make my own decision. I don’t care what party anyone is in, that’s irrelevant.
It seems to me, that the “official” 9/11 story is mostly pushed by politicians, not experts. And 99% of politicians are NOT “reputable”.
The 9/11 commission was run by Zelikow, who had ties to Condi Rice and Republicans. Do you call that “independent”? Absolutely not! And Bush first stonewalled ANY investigation, does anyone remember that? THEN…his first choice to lead an “independent” investigation and commission was: HENRY KISSINGER!!! Does anyone remember all of this???
There was NEVER an official “independent” investigation of 9/11. PERIOD!!!
Danno, watch that dude at #34 link, he’ll answer a lot of your questions
Bill Rodriguez, the valiant WTC janitor, mentioned something very scary about a hideous machine-like noise he heard from an “empty renovated floor” as he was helping the firefighters. He didn’t investigate, but I wondered if heavy support machines that could have been keeping “supporting” sliced-through steel beams in place were being rolled back to facilitate the collapse or some other similar scenario of robot machines slicing the beams.
It’s all lies. Osama Bin Laden is still hiding in his cave plotting his next deadly attack on his Macbook. He lives in a deep underground high tech complex in the caves of Afghanistan.
He is like one of those evil bad guys in the James Bond movies. He has a secret base and not even an army can find him. He is the real world Dr Evil.
Now THAT is a “conspiracy theory”!!! A very implausible one at that but that’s exactly what all of the idiots that believe in the official version of events believe.
Grow a brain people and do some research.
Ben Laden was the perfect fall guy. 911 was an inside job. We knew all along. By the way, the Bush family has still wonderful relations with the Ben Laden family. Who is the biggest sponsor of terrorism in the world ? The CIA.
I’m surprised to see this posted here so late and taken so out of context.
This “news” has been around for YEARS!
The US gvt was using Osama for information. Yes. Known fact for a long time. After 9/11 that stopped. I don’t see how this is proof that it was an inside job…
A lot of people in Washington and the intelligence community did know something was going to happen. There was a major communication breakdown in our government involving the way the CIA, FBI and Whitehouse communicate.
Regards to Comment 2:
Totally irrelevant. One story is obviously more believable than others. I could just as easily say equally irrelevant stories to try and refute your argument as well. You have succeeded in nothing.
Regards to Comment 17:
How much do you know about explosives and demolitions? I have studied physics for many years and I noticed nothing unusual about the speed at which the buildings collapsed. This isn’t because I’m uneducated, just that there was nothing unusual.
it is an interesting website about the Turkish Gladio in Washington DC.
http://washingtonhaber.blogspot.com/
Anon: You do not have to study any physics at all, but if you would have understood what that were suppose to teach you in your high school physics class, if you actually took it, you would know that WTC 1, 2, and 7 could not come down like that unless energy was no only added but timed and targeted correctly to achieve the results we saw. It is not rocket science to figure this out, grade school kids can figure this out.
911 Gravity and The World Trade Center
Sibel Edmonds is not needed to prove 911 was an inside job or a false flag operation of sorts, she just has more evidence to that already overwhelming conclusion.
Really Doug? Really? Rather than give any reason you just say “it’s obvious!”
Look. I payed attention in high school as well as through my university years. Nothing seems “obvious” except that maybe you don’t actually understand the concepts of momentum and impulse.
Also, I see you mention the fact that the building was designed to withhold whatever… Design and build are very different things. Keep that in mind.
I see people all the time who claim things like you do but I never see any kind of documentation of credibility to back up the claims.
Evidently you didn’t pay enough attention….
Why doesn’t Sibel simply speak out and let the chips fall where they may?
What criminal charges and penalties would she face?
Might she not be acquitted based on her revelations?
Wouldn’t she get enormous support from the people?
It is a truly groundbreaking event that Sibel’s direct experience/knowledge as witnessed is now becoming testimony and that this much has now finally made it out from the gag world into the legally deposed world.
This one is about Sibel Edmonds ungagged; a long awaited moment that should be appreciated truly as it is, for what it is.
This is Sibel Edmonds’ train, this train
it don’t carry no truthers platforms,
no hitch hiker honkin horns,
no who was on first running boards…
…not this train…
This one’s flagged for Sibel ungagged.
If Osama Bin Ladin really worked for the U.S. up until 9/11, and if he is really pissed off at US, then wouldn’t the second greatest harm he could do to US be to admit that he worked for US up to 9/11? Wouldn’t the first greatest harm he could do to us be to prove he worked for US? He hasn’t done any of that, which tells me two things – he never worked for US, or, he still does work for US and his bosses don’t want him to go that far. This kind of thinking can make US nutty.
I seem to recall news stories about cruise missiles being fired at an Al Qaeda camp during the Clinton years. How does that square with Al Qaeda still being an American client on 9/11.
