FBI EMPLOYMENT:

Edmonds worked for the FBI for six months from late September 2001 until March 2002.

Based on shocking information she learned during her work for the FBI, in early 2002, Edmonds filed complaints to FBI's Office of Professional Responsibility and the DOJ Office of the Inspector General. In response, she claims that managers retaliated against her, A 2005 internal investigation by the FBI Office of the Inspector General found that Edmonds' allegations "had basis in fact" and that "her allegations were the factor in FBI's decision to terminate her."

Edmonds's allegations of impropriety at the FBI later came to the attention of the Senate Judiciary Committee, which held unclassified hearings on the matter on 17 June 2002, and 9 July 2002. During the hearings, the FBI provided various unclassified documents and statements relating to the case, which led to Senators Patrick Leahy and Chuck Grassley asking for explanations and calling for an audit of the FBI's pre-9/11 work.

In April 2004, Edmonds claimed she had provided information to the commission investigating the September 11 attacks - in February of 2002.... Although she started work shortly after 9/11 and worked for just over six months, she claimed she had been exposed to information that had been circulating within the FBI during spring and summer of 2001. The session was closed and over three hours long, she said. Reportedly, she told the commission that the FBI knew of the planned 9/11 attacks months before and of specific operatives in place in the USA. She stated, "There was information about the time-frame, and about methods to be used. Major cities with skyscrapers." However this deposition of Edmonds was sealed under an inappropriate and illegal invocation of the "state secrets" act.

Immediately the FBI retroactively classified as Top Secret all of the material and statements Edmonds had provided to the Senate Judiciary Committee in 2002.

The Justice Department tried to get a lawsuit by Edmonds against the government dismissed, but Inspector General Glenn A. Fine released a summary of the audit report, claiming "that her allegations were based on factual evidence, that the FBI did not take them seriously enough, and that her allegations were, in fact, the factor in the FBI's decision to terminate her. Rather than investigate Edmonds's allegations vigorously and thoroughly, the FBI declared that she was a disruption and terminated her".

In August 2004, Edmonds founded the National Security Whistleblowers Coalition (NSWBC), which exists to assist national security whistleblowers through advocacy and reform.

OTHER EXPOSES:

In September 2006, a documentary about Edmonds's case called 'Kill the Messenger' premiered in France. In the film, Edmonds, former CIA agent Philip Giraldi, and others say that Israel was a significant actor in the illicit activities Edmonds discovered, and that Israel was constantly spying in and on the USA, and bribing of US government officials to engage in corrupt acts for Israel's benefit.

Edmonds revealed more in August 2009 and gave information that had twice previously been gagged under state secrets privilege.

In February 2011, Edmonds published a story on her own website, adding details of events she described as taking place in April 2001, months before the 9/11 attacks. The account is of another translator's description of meetings with an informant months before 9/11, and FBI agents' reaction to it:

The informant told the FBI - "A massive terrorist attack day is planned to take place in the United States. The order has been issued. targeting major cities, big metropolitan cities; New York City, Washington. They will use airplanes to carry out the attacks. Some of the individuals involved in carrying this out are already in the United States. They are here in the U.S., living among us; the US government knows about all of this."

It was believed the agents reported this information internally at the FBI, but investigations have proven - *no action was taken* in response to this report.

MORE INFO: - backgrounding

According to Edmonds, "Operation Gladio B" is an FBI code name adopted in 1997 for ongoing relations between US intel, the Pentagon, and Al Qaeda. Indicating Al Qaeda is a group formed and run by US intel, British Intel, and Israeli Intel, to create havoc to justify invasions in the Mideast.

According to Edmonds, Gladio B identified, among other things, regular meetings between senior US intelligence and current leader of Al Qaeda Ayman al-Zawahiri at the U.S. embassy in Baku, Azerbaijan between 1997 and 2001, with al-Zawahiri and other mujahideen being transported by NATO aircraft to Central Asia and the Balkans to participate in Pentagon-backed ... political destabilization missions. She added that in 1997, NATO asked Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak to release from prison Islamist militants affiliated with Ayman al-Zawahiri. They were flown by U.S. intelligence orders to Turkey for training and use in operations by the Pentagon. Additionally, she reported that an Al-Qaeda leader had been training some of the 9-11 operatives at a base in Turkey. These and related allegations were seemingly confirmed by Sunday Times journalists in 2008 who spoke to Pentagon and MI6 sources. However, according to several sources, the journalists were prevented from publishing many of these allegations when the second half of their four-part series was dropped, possibly due to pressure from the U.S. State Department. Edmonds says that the objectives of Gladio B were and are "projecting U.S. power into key areas of the world to access & acquire strategic energy and mineral reserves." Former FBI special agent Dennis Saccher states Edmonds's story "should have been front page news" because it is "a scandal bigger than Watergate".

Recently, Sibel Edmonds, along with others, formed NewsBud, a nonpartisan journalism team supported by Kickstarter donations (setting a new fund raising records for news media, $150,000 each for the 1st & 2nd of 4 phases) by a growing community seeking alternative online news, investigative reports, analysis, original stories, video-podcasts, editorials, and discussion forums. Edmonds is also a regular contributor to THE CORBETT REPORT online.
