If only we'd listened to Sibel Edmonds. . .
Nuclear blasts in four major US cities today made certain what had been but speculation over the past year: American nuclear technologies and materials, having fallen into the hands of Al Qaeda, had been secreted back into the United States, and made into terrible tools of mass destruction and mayhem.
Washington
Twin detonations in New York, and others in Washington, Chicago and Los Angeles, occured nearly simultaneously within minutes of the anniversary of the first 9-11 terrorist attacks of 2001. Many millions are believed to have perished instantly in the characteristic mushroom clouds, and as the superstructures of each city evaporated - figuratively and literally - no emergency services were available for survivors as night fell on the East Coast, leaving many millions more to die in horrible agony amidst the ruins of their shattered cities.
Los Angeles
With burts of rage breaking through agitated anguish, Daniel Ellsberg, the Watergate whistleblower who was most passionate in his predictions of such atomic terror, exclaimed "Oh, my God! Why wouldn't they listen? We tried to warn them. We couldn't get them to listen . . ." Ellsberg, it is assumed, was speaking of the White House, the US Congress, and the American media, regarding their deliberate suppression of the story of Sibel Edmonds, former FBI translator, who had been attempting to tell of the imminent nuclear treachery involving Turkey, Pakistan, Israel, and the State Department since 2002.
Chicago
Edmonds' story was of "corruption at Washington's highest levels—sale of nuclear secrets, shielding of terrorist suspects, illegal arms transfers, narcotics trafficking, money laundering, espionage. . . a treasonous plot to embed moles in American military and nuclear installations and pass sensitive intelligence to Israeli, Pakistani, and Turkish sources . . . facilitated by figures in the upper echelons of the State and Defense Departments."* Fraudulent transactions, it is now known, deposited weapons of mass destruction in Pakistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Kazakhstan, where al-Qaeda was able to obtain and smuggle them into the US, through the grossly inadequate security of the international port system.
New York
When Edmonds warned Congress in 2002, the Justice Department took steps to prevent any details from her story from being released to the public by declaring them "state secrets." Even after she risked arrest for telling much of the story to the London Sunday Times early this year - and newspapers worldwide placed articles about it on their front pages - the US media refused to follow suit. Had promises by Congressman Henry Waxman to allow Ms. Edmonds' story to be told with the transformation of Congress to Democratic control been kept, investigations and interventions would likely have resulted, perhaps preventing atomic bombs from being assembled and detonated in these cities. But, it was not to be. . .
Ms. Edmonds was unavailable for comment; there are rumors that she made arrangements to leave the US just before the blasts, able to predict the nuclear attacks from the information she was prohibited from passing on to Congress, the media, and the rest of the nation. Apparently, she was fearful that the title of her video documentary Kill the Messenger might become prophetic in the aftermath of these terrorist acts.
