The Depraved World Of Child Molesters – Part Four: Who’s Afraid Of Sibel Edmonds?

The narrative begins with Sibel Edmonds a former contract translator for the FBI. During her stint she uncovered a momentous scale of blackmail schemes involving high-level government officials. Edmonds went to work as a Turkish and Farsi translator for the FBI five days after 9/11 with a top-level security clearance. Less than 8 months later, in April 2002, she was fired.

For more than two years after Edmonds dismissal, the Office of the Inspector General’s inquiry limped on with its investigation. Finally, in July 2004, the OIG report was completed—and promptly labeled classified at the behest of the FBI. In January 2005,after months of relentless pressure a redacted, unclassified version was finally issued. It provided stunning vindication of Edmonds’ credibility.

The report concludes that “Edmonds was fired for reporting serious security breaches and misconduct in the agency’s translation program, and that many of her allegations were supported.” https://www.aclu.org/documents/sibel-edmonds-patriot-silenced-unjustly-fired-fighting-back-help-keep-america-safe

Incidentally Senator Chuck Grassley stuck by Edmonds throughout her Kafkaesque ordeal.

Part of Edmond’s job was to translate and transcribe recordings of conversations between suspected Turkish intelligence agents and their American contacts. What she discovered is bombshell-shocking. So much so that then-Attorney General Ashcroft gagged her with the draconian and controversial States Secrets Privilege.

Included in her incandescent findings are:

A lot of the drugs were going to Belgium with NATO planes. After that, they went to the UK, and a lot came to the U.S. via military planes to distribution centers in Chicago and Paterson, New Jersey. Turkish diplomats who would never be searched were coming with suitcases of heroin.”

When asked asked whether she thought the government was aware of this activity Edmonds replied, “100%.”

She also discovered an entangled rat’s nest of odious culture rot in the U.S. Congress:

In early 1997, because of the information that the FBI was getting on the Turkish diplomatic community, the Justice Department had already started to investigate several Republican congressmen. The number-one congressman involved with the Turkish community, both in terms of providing information and doing favors, was Bob Livingston. Number-two after him was Dan Burton, and then he became number-one until Dennis Hastert became the speaker of the House. Bill Clinton’s attorney general, Janet Reno, was briefed on the investigations, and since they were Republicans, she authorized that they be continued.” https://www.theamericanconservative.com/whos-afraid-of-sibel-edmonds/

In May 2015 Hastert was indicted for structuring withdrawals of over $900,000 to skirt bank reporting laws. The money was used to pay off blackmailers pertaining to alleged pedophilia crimes he committed while a high school wrestling coach.

The former Speaker of the United States House of Representatives was charged today with structuring the withdrawal of $952,000 in cash in order to evade the requirement that banks report cash transactions over $10,000, and lying to the Federal Bureau of Investigation about his withdrawals.” https://www.justice.gov/usao-ndil/pr/former-speaker-united-states-house-representatives-charged-structuring-cash-withdrawals

In order to fully grasp the seriousness of the Hastert case we must first turn our attention to another congressional scandal involving Representative Mark Foley.

Foley, a six-term Republican congressman from Florida, publicly championed the protection of children from sexual predators. As Chairman of the House Caucus on Missing and Exploited Children, he often spoke out about the need to catch pedophiles. In July, he attended a signing ceremony at the White House for the Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006 claiming, “We track library books better than we do sexual predators.” Ironically Foley himself was soon tracked down as a sexual predator.

According to a Newsweek article in October 2006 Foley was summoned to see GOP Congressman John Shimkus, the chairman of the House Page Board regarding emails between himself and an underage congressional page which were subject to interpretation: Foley had asked for a photograph of the boy, talked about going to the gym and asked if he was OK after Hurricane Katrina. Shimkus warned Foley to be careful of his behavior with the pages. As it turns out the boy’s parents did not want to pursue the matter.

That might have been the end of it but soon afterwards ABC news broke the story. No one would have predicted the Internet storm that the ABC report would generate when the very next night ABC posted a follow-up on its Web site, revealing substantially more instant messages between Foley and congressional pages that were far more sexually explicit. When confronted with them Foley abruptly resigned his seat.

Within days, House Speaker Dennis Hastert, Majority Leader John Boehner and Majority Whip Roy Blunt issued a statement calling for a criminal investigation of Mark Foley.

What was unknown at the time is that Hastert himself was under surveillance by no less than three different entities.

Sibel Edmonds who was asked by FBI agents to listen to tapes of the FBI surveillance which recorded Turkish agents speaking their native language, described the events:

Here in this country a foreign lobby group or a criminal network would be recording Dennis Hastert’s particular townhouse one of his three offices in Illinois while at the same time CIA was recording what was happening in that particular location. Meanwhile FBI people in their surveillance van would be outside this townhouse and they would be they would be monitoring, surveilling Dennis Hastert.”

21:40 – 22:19 Minutes

Interestingly even though he was married, Hastert lived together with his chief of staff Scott Palmer.

There are plenty of odd couple Congressmen who have roomed together on Capitol Hill, but I have never heard of a chief of staff who rooms with his boss. It is beyond unusual. But it must have its advantages. Anything they forget to tell each other at the office, they have until bedtime to catch up on. And then there’s breakfast for anything they forgot to tell each other before falling asleep. And then there’s all day at the office. Hastert and Palmer are together more than any other co-workers in the Congress.”

Edmond is also on record claiming that Hastert’s liaisons with underage males were not confined to this country.

The FBI also has had hard data on Hastert’s sexual violations outside the United States. The involved countries include Vietnam, Thailand, Turkey and Morocco, among others. This also included sexual favors as means of foreign bribery. Interestingly, the CIA had been documenting those sexual activities for many years, and not only on Hastert but on many others; elected and appointed.

The reason why Hastert was not charged for his child molesting crimes is that any attempt to prove those crimes would expose a maze of filth. Sibel Edmonds explained the sad state of affairs claiming:

The Hastert scandal as “too deep, too dark and that it covers too many people from both sides of the political aisle for it to ever proceed in public.” https://wearechange.org/disgraced-house-speaker-pedophile-dennis-hastert/

In the past the sex crimes committed by US Congress members have been swept under the rug using a flagrantly shameful policy of silencing victims with tax-paid secret payoffs and nondisclosure agreements protection. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5085129/Congress-sex-harassment-claims-settled-tax-money.html

The charges Hastert were convicted of were in fact the tip of a looming iceberg involving Hastert, his top aide and many other high ranking government officials caught up in a criminal network of pedophilia, espionage, drugs and blackmail. Hastert’s lawyers had no problem negotiating a plea bargain for the very same reason Sibel Edmonds was gagged with the controversial States Secrets Privilege:

EVERYBODY IN GOVERNMENT WANTED THIS SORDID DEPRAVITY COVERED-UP.
