  1. Of course, has anyone in our wonderful Congressional Armenian Caucus bothered to look into the Sibel Edmonds case, call hearings, bring it to the nation’s attention, rallied their colleagues around the issue, and speak about it on the floor of Congress?  

    If they have, to any significant extent, we have yet to hear about it. 

    Congress is not, after all, bound by the Federal gag order on Sibel.

    The Armenian Caucus does not want to rock the boat, it seems.  

    Sibel has alleged for several years now – yes, several years – that Turkish spies have been operating in the US.  And no, this issue did not suddenly make an appearance during Sibel’s Krikorian case deposition.

    It’s pretty easy to fool Armenians.  A Congressman has to merely join the Armenian Caucus, and we swoon over him or her.  We’re cheap dates.

    This is the state of the Armenian American community today.  This is the state of our political organizations today.

  2. I agree with David, we are cheap dates.   Congressman promise to give some lip service to a Genocide Resolution that they know has a long shot of passing and in turn we do  fundraisers for them.  Heck we don’t even demand results just that they sign on as a co-sponsor.  And when the DEMOCRATIC leadership shelves the vote…what do we do ?  We go right back to supporting them as if they were not the ones who killed the vote.   I thought things would change when the democratics took over the House but nothing has changed.
    Just what exactly is the purpose of the Armenian Caucus if its not going to look into the allegations that are being made here?  Why not hold a hearing.  Congressman hold hearings about all sorts of topics that frankly they have minimal influence over (Steroids in baseball comes to mind).  Why not a hearing over this topic, at least it would be something meaningful.
     
     

  3. Did you guys even read the article?  It is clearly stated in the second paragraph that “the U.S. Congress has even been gagged to prevent further discussion”.  Also, NEVER talk down on the ANCA.  Words cannot express what they have done for the Armenian Cause against all odds and with the smallest staff (only a van full).  They have helped Armenians FAR MORE than the Armenian government.

  4. I deeply suspect Ms. Edmond’s loyalty to the US. She has abandoned her previous loyalties (Iran, Turkey) with ease, she can do it again. As they say in the army, never trust a betrayer, even if they betrayed your enemies…
    On the other front, it is clear she is desperate trying to get attention, and her motives should be questioned…to me , it seems like she is managing a PR campaign to settle for a lucrative book deal or something. 

  5. Levent must have just discovered Sibel Edmonds because he obviously doesn’t know (or didn’t read the article?) that she has been whistle blowing for 7 YEARS now and has got nothing for it except threats of imprisonment from the US government. She will never get a “book deal” because every publisher is owned by the same a-holes who own the Mainstream Media which has not whispered ONE WORD about her or her evidence…it’s a blackout.
    How can a person be so stupid as to question a person’s loyalty to America when that person is trying to fulfill her (and ALL of our) obligation to defend the constitution against “Domestic enemies”? I would call government officials who sell state secrets to foreign governments and take bribes to run congress for the benefit of foreign entities “domestic enemies”.

  6. Mr levant
    You are obviously one of those Israeli paid surfers; paid to attack anything or anyone that is harmful to “the Fatherland and “Bibi”. Yes Sibel was a traitor to Iran at about the age of 2 (two) She took her pacifier and a few diapers and left. She has never been a big fan of Turkey or Iran for that matter. She is instead a big fan of human rights and justice no matter what country. Do not forget: you are a human first. your first loyalty is to humanity, your second is to you family, your third is to your country. If you don’t believe that you would have done well in Nazi Germany or the up-and-comming New USA (which Sibel is afraid of). YOU CAN BE A LOYAL AMERICAN WITHOUT BEING LOYAL TO THE GOVERNMENT. She has been a loyal US citizen for 2/3 of here life, so loyal that she will stand up for the Constitution.  Do you find Obama and Bush or most of Congress  more loyal? Do they honor thier oath to the Constitution?
    If Sibel does write a book it is only more insurance for her life and the life of her family. If she shuts up and says nothing she is probably more likely to face an unexpected early death as many that “knew too much” have had happen to them.

  7. levant is obviously one of those megaphonies, no one that has even 1/100th shred of loyalty to America would ever question Sibels loyalty to this country. the people who really run this country don’t take kindly to dissent and whistleblowers, and it isn’t above them to suicide people who threaten their power grid (DC Madame for instance?) How much is Bibi (what an awful nickname for a supposed ADULT) paying you to be a megaphony and traiotr against your own country (i assume you are an american if you have any care on commenting on loyalty to this country)? levant just because you don’t spout the knee jerk “anti-semite” do you think your motivations are any more opaque?

  8. It gives some hope that there are yet a few honest and courageous people willing to stand up for liberty and resurrect some of the honor that this country let die. “Thank you,” Sibel.

    It is always great to see someone do the right thing

  10. Now you know why the NWO, illuminati, corporate gangsters and the corrupt legions of authority wish to silence the internet and free speech whether it be on the tv, street or your computer screen. Thugs in power are like cock roaches when stories like this are brought out to the light of day. Our world today is ruled by corruption and the more who join, the stronger it gets. 

  11. I have followed Mrs. Edmonds case for years now.  I can only say that I wish her well and wish there were more people like her in the government who aren’t pathological narcissist and who care only about their precious “career.”

  12. Ha Ha Ha. That was amusing. See the Zionist megaphony propagandist busted by everyone the moment it shoved its pointy little nose in. Nice work Levant, lucky you’re not paid on results, just efforts. Say hi to the old war criminal Bibi won’t you.

  13. Interestingly enough, Sibel’s recent testimony has not been released.  We should be asking why.  Anyone know the names & addresses of the people holding her testimony?

  14. Even if 5% of what Sibel Edmonds testified in her deposition in the Krikorian case is true, it is alarming as well as frightening.

  15. Hello America,
    We all had been brainwashed for years to “TRUST OUR GOVERNMENT” .TRUST IN GOD ONLY !!!
    TRUTH CAN NOT BE ALTERED TO CREATE HISTORY, IT EITHER IS TRUTH OR BS> BLANANT LIES. Knowing the status of the “Corporate Takeover of Congress ” and Special Interest control of these puppet’s with money leaves one to believe that “THE REAL ENEMY ” IS Not in a foreign country. “BUT WITHIN ” IE>>CONGRESS & WASHINGTON.
    Just think these ROYAL SERVANTS PUT A SKULL & BONES(GWB.) DIMWIT IN OVAL OFFICE.NEOCON BASTARDS ARE DESTROYING AMERICA.. The SOCIAL Cancer started from GREED. The end will be the demise of America.
    America has had a spiral into A DICTATORSHIP > Socialism with Domestic/& Foreign Interest pulling the strings. NWO BULLSHIT
    The “people see but do not believe ” their DEMISE . The Constitution is now just a ancient document because the protectors of constitution are all bought traitors. Founding Fathers are rising out of ground in Horror..
    DAR

  16. Someone above was offended that ANCA was possibly criticized. It is this kind of childish feelings that hampers fruitful work. If Sibel Edmonds fight is about politics and cover-up then why indeed we haven’t seen ANCA or AAA demand those representatives who immeasurably benefit from grass-roots Armenian campaigs (unlike the illicit Turkish activities, unmasked by Ms. Edmonds) to deliver on their promises to help the Armenian communities in the US ?
    This is a criminal issue implicating highest levels of US officialdom working not just against Armenians but against  American interests as well, for heavens sake !!
    Why not criticize ANCA for sleeping on the job? that would be a very healthy exercise.

  17. Hye, appears Sibel Edmonds issue is ‘omitted’ from the media of the United States of America (in the United States of America)!  When/how did we lose our freedoms of our American press?  Which leads me to also think, what more have Americans been losing?   To whom? Howsomever, now Edmonds material appears in languages of world’s press in various languages…  and for inclusion in the internet…  Manooshag
    Please don’t include the convoluted Turkish version… Historically, a Turkey agrees to agreements – then the agreement is not the agreement that was agreed to, as Turks then change the rules after the agreement is agreed to – ploy after ploy , time and time again, for these 100 years. When shall the civilized nations of the world stop accepting any of the dishonesty put forth by all the Turkish leaderships – who, sadly, are still functioning in the Ottoman mode.  Manooshag
    mentalityl in their relations with the world…

  18. I truly agree with you…I have been a member of ANCA- we do a lot of work to support the Armenian cause whether at a state level or Federal level.

  19. Someone also failed to ask her of what parentage she is.
    In all such cases usually the author or anyone else comes up …¨was born in X country from an Armenian or else Azeri,persian, turkish,kurdish,Assyrian ,arab,whatever father and mother was russian or seb, or some such ..
    Why do I mention this point?
    Simple, it will be more facile to judge as to leniency(at least a bit) to this to that nation/state or just people,like say a half Assyrian and half jewish or Azeri, Armenian by birth and educated …etc., etc., etc.
    Just curious…

  20. Hey, ”Duke”. I liked the following that you wrote :

    ”Do not forget: you are a human first. your first loyalty is to humanity, your second is to you family, your third is to your country.”

    Actually, as a humanist and anti-nationalist, I wouldn’t put ‘country loyalty’ at even third place. It should be way down in the list.

    Greetings and peace wishes from Istanbul.
