There is a lot of important information in this posting which includes a major 48:10m video interview with Sibel Edmonds, a former FBI translator and whistle-blower; a 25:17m video excerpt on the James Corbett show also featuring Edmonds; and the article by the blogger to summarize the highlights of the two interviews. Edmonds is a very courageous and knowledgeable observer, who has inside knowledge she gained as an FBI translator, of political events in her native region, Turkey, and nearby areas.
She describes Operation Gladio, a CIA operation which was used in various European countries where strong working class movements existed following WWII in order to secure pro-capitalist governments. However, she explains that this model, which uses terrorism as a main tool, has become a primary weapon of Empire policy ever since and describes how it has been used in various countries. She also describes how fanatic Muslim sects have been recruited, trained, and supplied to carry out many of these project in the Middle East. She shows how the terrorist label have shifted over time on various groups depending on the political interests of the Empire. Finally, and probably of most interest currently, she explains how the Boston bombing incident fits so neatly into this geopolitical operation, and likely has implications for forthcoming US policies in relation to Syria and Iran.
I haven't had time as of this writing to listen to much of the excerpt of her interview on the James Corbett show, but it appears that she goes on to describe how Bin Laden and the whole Al Qaeda network fits into this Gladio type model.
