Synopsizing Sibel Edmonds: The Evolution of Operation Gladio -- Part Six Robert Paulsen America Judas April 12, 2013 http://americanjudas.blogspot.com/2013/04/synopsizing-sibel-edmonds-evolution-of_12.html James Corbett: ...And on that note, we have an email in from Robert, who has a blog called americanjudas.blogspot.com where he is starting to synopsize our conversations and he's got Part One and Part Two up already and has done a good job of putting in some relevant links and explaining some of the characters and the details, so I will put the links to those blog posts in the show notes for this, and also Robert had a question, he said, "In Part Two, Sibel mentioned that the Pentagon doesn't call it Gladio B, but there is a designated section, a physical office that deals with Gladio operations. Can she tell us what the actual name is, or has she been gagged from doing so on the grounds of State Secrets?" Sibel Edmonds: Right, um, the FBI's file, because the name of the file itself wouldn't be even considered classified, it's the name of a file, the operation is considered the Operation Gladio Plan B. With the Pentagon, I can't because it has not become public, and it is part of or under another division; and again that division if I were to name the division, people would be very familiar, and it will be say 'Why, that's an interesting place to put the Operation Gladio Plan B and the office there'. I can tell you that the division is mainly international NATO officers, you're looking at lieutenant colonel and higher, and it has the only office that I know in the Pentagon with the highest number of Turkish officers, they're going to have both US citizenship and Turkish, but they're assigned to this Pentagon division. Now it changes, every four or five years, some are stationed somewhere else, but if you look at it let's say during a certain period of time, the highest percentage are Turkish officers there, female and male. That Robert who emailed the question is, in fact, yours truly, Robert Paulsen. Part Six is certainly exciting for me on a personal level, but I also think this is one of the more exciting parts of the interview as far as the focus of the content. The part is subtitled: Sibel Edmonds Explains Who's At The Top Of The Pyramid. This interview follows the money where Gladio B is concerned. That takes us to some of the largest corporate and military interests that comprise what President Eisenhower warned us about in his Farewell Address on January 17, 1961: the Military-Industrial Complex. Part Six Synopsis: The interview starts with James Corbett bringing up the subject of what groups are puppeteering this operation. Sibel Edmonds starts by talking about her father, who tried to get her engaged in critical thinking. He was a lifetime anti-war activist in Iran. During a period of her youth, she really got into war films like The Great Escape that to some degree glorified war. In response, he took her to the hospital where he was the director and surgeon to show her a baby horrifically burned by war, to where the baby's skin had melted with the clothes on its body. The child didn't even have the lungs to cry out in pain. "When you hear bombs falling or read about it", her father said, this is what happens. Where war is concerned, her father also taught her to follow the money, that's where you'll find the only "winners" in war. The problem is, as Sibel - 1 - mentioned previously, we too often try to characterize through a black hat/white hat mentality. It's so easy to paint Dick Cheney as Darth Vader, Democrats are much better at avoiding that kind of label. That's one way to miss the mark on locating the real power in charge, another is to generalize and say, 'It's the government!' If you just take a few individuals from a few different departments to blame, you're not going to get anywhere close to the truth. Take a look at those in government (Cheney, Rumsfeld, Feith, Rice), look what they were doing before they got in government, look what they did after they left the government, then look for a common theme. They're not working for themselves! To some degree, it's easier to be influential from outside the government. Henry Kissinger and Zbigniew Brzezinski are great examples of this. In general, the top two most important entities we are dealing with over the last few decades are: the Military-Industrial Complex (MIC) and Oil. The financial institutions go with these two, regardless of what operations they undertake. Some might say pharmaceutical industry, but that's more domestic, the other two fit into the global scheme more. If you look at the Cold War, look at the period afterward before 9/11, look at 9/11 and the aftermath, the involvement of the MIC is not something that you need a whistleblower to uncover! Edmonds directs our attention to a graph that shows military spending from 1962 to present day. It's a very revealing graph, we see a large rise throughout the Cold War, a drop during the 90's and the subsequent spike after 9/11 and the Iraq War. If you look at the top ten companies of the Military-Industrial Complex, Lockheed-Martin, Boeing, Northrup-Grumman, their existence is dependent on a fear factor. That fear factor during the Cold War was Communism, equaling trillions of dollars. Communism's collapse and the end of the Cold War was the MIC's "WTF!" moment. With The Monster gone, what happens to all the profits derived from the fear of it? You're talking about some very nervous people during the 90's. The lesson learned: we're not going to create a monster that can be taken out, it must go on forever. The new threat is "like amoebas", they are all over, different countries, hidden in caves, and we must always be on alert. Going back to what her Dad asked, "How much are those bombs hitting those caves?" Three million dollars? Five million dollars? Who profits? How did they create this New Monster that never dies? Edmonds cites as very important the creation of the Project for the New American Century. If you look at the list of signatories, you see much more than just "the government" you see the true beneficiaries, the corporate heads that comprise the MIC. They knew they needed a new threat to scare us into keeping their industry bulked up. It has remained up since 9/11 because there are so many secret wars all over the map in the name of the War on Terror. Corbett concurs with that assessment, noting how low the price of oil was during the 90's and how high it has risen since. Edmonds then cites Pepe Escobar's Pipelinestan as a good source mapping the oil trade in Central Asia. The companies involved are all looking down the road to where the industry will be 40 years from now. They know to protect their investments they'll need the military guarding the pipelines. We know we can't trust whatever despot or dictator is in charge, that's why they bring in the IMF and the World Bank in addition to the military. If you look at the US military bases erected since 2001, the vast majority are in oil-rich locations. Corbett adds these locations also intersect with major drug routes. Edmonds mentions she just wrote an article on how this is being done through Azerbaijan with the Turkish NATO actors. Since the Cold War, things have shifted from Russian control to where our control of the - 2 - drug trade is over 90%. In that context, she also talks about how Baluchistan will never be economically feasible for China, because they don't control security in that region, we do. Corbett then elaborates on the characters involved in Baluchistan, then cautions against using the word "we", that it is not done with our will, but these dark characters in positions of power like the Council of Foreign Relations (CFR) acting in our name. He then mentions another organization like CFR not mentioned as much, the American Turkish Council (ATC). Edmonds corroborates how they are connected with her case, explaining how they were set up to act much like the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) does, and were created in 1995 by Richard Perle and Douglas Feith. In 1989, Richard Perle, while a government advisor, set up a lobby group for Turkey setting himself up as a foreign agent. This became a huge scandal when discovered in 1994, because you're not allowed to be a foreign agent while working for the government! Thus, ATC was created by Perle and Feith. Edmonds says it's not just her word, the Justice Department has identified the ATC as the top FBI target in her case, some operations involving heroin, others terror. Once again, if you look at the top players in ATC, you see people connected with the MIC and oil companies. That is their ultimate boss, not the Turkish or US government. They serve as subcontractors getting US tax dollars in the hundreds of millions that gets diverted from its intended purpose for nefarious ends like money laundering, weapons smuggling, drugs and terror.
