Sibel Edmonds on Gladio B - Part 1

  • 0:01 - 0:12
    ♪ (Intro Music) ♪
  • 0:12 - 0:14
    Welcome. This is James Corbett
    of CorbettReport.com.
  • 0:14 - 0:17
    It is the 30th of January, 2013
    here in Japan;
  • 0:17 - 0:20
    and today I'm joined
    on the line from the United States
  • 0:20 - 0:24
    by BoilingFrogsPost.com founder
    and editor Sibel Edmonds,
  • 0:24 - 0:28
    our good friend who has been
    on this podcast many times before.
  • 0:28 - 0:30
    So Sibel, thank you so much
    for taking the time today.
  • 0:32 - 0:32
    Sure.
  • 0:32 - 0:35
    This is gonna be a very,
    very interesting interview.
  • 0:35 - 0:37
    I've been looking forward to this...
  • 0:37 - 0:38
    to this interview.
  • 0:38 - 0:40
    Me, too; but it is a bit overwhelming.
  • 0:40 - 0:42
    It's almost intimidating,
  • 0:42 - 0:45
    because the topic we're talking about
    is so large, so vast,
  • 0:45 - 0:47
    involves so many characters
  • 0:47 - 0:50
    that a lot of the audience
    probably won't be familiar with,
  • 0:50 - 0:53
    that it's a bit daunting
    to know where to even begin with this.
  • 0:53 - 0:54
    So I guess we should explain
  • 0:54 - 0:57
    that we're picking up from a conversation
  • 0:57 - 1:00
    that I had with Tom Secker
    a week or two ago on The Corbett Report
  • 1:00 - 1:03
    talking about Gladio
    and the history of Operation Gladio,
  • 1:03 - 1:05
    the NATO stay-behind operation.
  • 1:05 - 1:10
    So people who want more
    on the details of Gladio itself
  • 1:10 - 1:12
    and its history
    as a historical entity in Europe
  • 1:12 - 1:14
    might want to check out
    that conversation.
  • 1:14 - 1:16
    But today we're going to be
    picking up from that
  • 1:16 - 1:19
    to talk about specifically
    how Gladio unfolded,
  • 1:19 - 1:21
    and morphed into
    what it currently is in Turkey.
  • 1:23 - 1:24
    And how it's operating...
  • 1:25 - 1:27
    -- well, how it's basically morphed
  • 1:27 - 1:30
    into a different type of operation,
  • 1:30 - 1:31
    but is using a lot of the same strategies
  • 1:31 - 1:32
    and methods to continue...
  • 1:32 - 1:34
    -- well, moving into different areas
  • 1:34 - 1:37
    such as false-flag terrorism
    in the Islamic terrorism context,
  • 1:37 - 1:38
    and also drug-running.
  • 1:38 - 1:41
    It's, again, a huge subject to tackle.
  • 1:41 - 1:43
    So perhaps we should start
  • 1:43 - 1:44
    by talking about the way
  • 1:44 - 1:46
    that the NATO stay-behind
    Gladio operation
  • 1:47 - 1:48
    was transported to Turkey,
  • 1:48 - 1:51
    and they way
    that it originally started there,
  • 1:51 - 1:53
    as a ultranationalist...
  • 1:53 - 1:55
    or, a way to puppeteer
    the ultranationalists
  • 1:55 - 1:57
    in their terrorist movement.
  • 2:00 - 2:03
    Sure. One slight correction,
  • 2:03 - 2:04
    and that is:
  • 2:04 - 2:07
    the field of operation for Gladio,
  • 2:07 - 2:09
    well, is pretty much global,
  • 2:09 - 2:11
    with a large concentration...
  • 2:11 - 2:17
    -- main concentration in the last,
    I would say, 15, 16 years --
  • 2:17 - 2:21
    Central Asia, Caucasus,
    and the Balkans.
  • 2:21 - 2:23
    And it started with the Balkans.
  • 2:23 - 2:26
    So the field of operation
  • 2:26 - 2:28
    actually has nothing to do
    with Turkey itself.
  • 2:28 - 2:31
    There is really nothing;
    because Turkey is where the powers
  • 2:31 - 2:35
    -- that being NATO, US,
    United Kingdom --
  • 2:35 - 2:38
    where they want
    -- these countries want -- to be.
  • 2:38 - 2:40
    That's for Turkey.
  • 2:40 - 2:43
    So the fields of operation
    are basically Central Asia...
  • 2:44 - 2:47
    -- the former Soviet bloc
    space, basically.
  • 2:47 - 2:52
    And the operations control centers...
  • 2:52 - 2:54
    of course, the main one,
  • 2:54 - 2:57
    the top layer being in the United States,
  • 2:57 - 2:59
    with major arteries connecting it
    to United Kingdom; to Britain;
  • 3:02 - 3:04
    and you have Belgium;
  • 3:04 - 3:07
    and then you have Turkey.
  • 3:07 - 3:09
    So -- being in, maybe, the primary;
  • 3:09 - 3:10
    then the secondary;
  • 3:10 - 3:13
    and then the third layer being in Turkey
  • 3:13 - 3:17
    via Turkish actors there:
  • 3:17 - 3:20
    both military
    -- not nearly as much any longer --
  • 3:20 - 3:24
    but also by very large...
  • 3:25 - 3:26
    what they refer to
    as the "Islamic factions,"
  • 3:30 - 3:32
    several different Islamic factions.
  • 3:32 - 3:34
    Well, I stand happily
    corrected on that point.
  • 3:34 - 3:37
    And you're right to bring that out:
  • 3:37 - 3:39
    Of course the field of operations
  • 3:39 - 3:41
    is all over that Central Asia/Caucasus
    region.
  • 3:41 - 3:43
    And we have talked
    about this a little bit
  • 3:43 - 3:45
    in some of our previous
    conversations.
  • 3:45 - 3:46
    But today, let's hone in
    on some of the characters and people
  • 3:46 - 3:48
    who have been connected to this.
  • 3:48 - 3:50
    And there are lots of things to talk about.
  • 3:50 - 3:53
    I'm not sure where you want to start,
  • 3:53 - 3:55
    but there are, of course,
    operations like the Grey Wolves
  • 3:55 - 3:58
    and others that have been in Turkey
    for decades;
  • 3:58 - 4:01
    that have done this type
    of operation in the past,
  • 4:01 - 4:04
    and characters like Abdullah Çatlı,
  • 4:04 - 4:06
    who has been involved in this,
  • 4:06 - 4:07
    and who has been all over,
    in a very interesting life
  • 4:10 - 4:13
    that ended in the Susurluk scandal
    in 1996
  • 4:13 - 4:16
    -- in quite an interesting fashion.
  • 4:16 - 4:18
    I'm not sure where you want
    to start that story,
  • 4:18 - 4:21
    but perhaps you could paint a picture
    for the listeners
  • 4:21 - 4:24
    about how this really developed,
  • 4:24 - 4:27
    and where it went
    up until that point in the mid-1990s.
  • 4:27 - 4:29
    Sure.
  • 4:29 - 4:35
    Turkey always was
    the most important center, country,
  • 4:35 - 4:37
    in all this, Gladio operations,
  • 4:37 - 4:40
    before the fall of the Soviet Union.
  • 4:40 - 4:42
    It's interesting,
  • 4:45 - 4:46
    because when I go and read
    what's available to public online
  • 4:46 - 4:50
    -- which is very, very little on Gladio:
    that's why I was ecstatic
  • 4:50 - 4:54
    when you had your interview on Gladio
    a week ago --
  • 4:54 - 4:55
    and what you see
    is usually things like Italy.
  • 4:57 - 4:59
    It's, like, Gladio and Italy,
    and how it unfolded,
  • 5:00 - 5:02
    how it was disbanded,
    et cetera, et cetera.
  • 5:03 - 5:06
    But you don't see much on Turkey,
  • 5:06 - 5:09
    and Turkey was the most important,
  • 5:09 - 5:11
    the most importan
    operations center for Gladio.
  • 5:14 - 5:18
    And obviously, it's because of,
    a.) its geographic location:
  • 5:21 - 5:24
    Just take a look at Turkey on the map.
  • 5:24 - 5:25
    And if you're looking
    for that period of time
  • 5:27 - 5:30
    before the fall of the Soviet Union,
  • 5:30 - 5:32
    from the Black Sea it goes eastern:
  • 5:32 - 5:35
    you're looking at all
    the former Soviet blocs in there.
  • 5:35 - 5:37
    And then, again, its position
    within the Middle East,
  • 5:40 - 5:44
    and the other side
    being connected to Europe.
  • 5:44 - 5:48
    So Turkey always had the most position
  • 5:48 - 5:51
    within this Gladio operation until...
  • 5:51 - 5:55
    before the fall of the Soviet Union;
    and that you don't see.
  • 5:57 - 5:59
    There are very few articles
    written out there scattered.
  • 6:01 - 6:03
    There's one good one
    by Le Monde [Diplomatique]
  • 6:03 - 6:05
    which was concentrating mainly
    on the actors you just mentioned:
  • 6:08 - 6:11
    Abdullah Çatlı and Susurluk incident.
  • 6:11 - 6:13
    And you have couple of authors
    in Switzerland and in England
  • 6:13 - 6:18
    who have written about this.
  • 6:18 - 6:21
    Nothing: nothing here,
    in the United States, on that.
  • 6:21 - 6:25
    So, I'll give you a little bit of history,
  • 6:25 - 6:27
    because you covered a lot of this
    with your previous guest.
  • 6:30 - 6:33
    But this history
    is going to concentrate more
  • 6:33 - 6:36
    on the character
    that we're gonna be talking about
  • 6:36 - 6:39
    and the Turkish side on this:
  • 6:39 - 6:41
    Gladio operations,
    until the fall of the Soviet Union.
  • 6:44 - 6:45
    And in Turkey,
    there were two prime groups
  • 6:48 - 6:52
    that were working within Gladio network
  • 6:53 - 6:55
    and carrying out some of
    ghe most important operations:
  • 6:55 - 6:57
    in Western Europe;
    in Northern Europe;
  • 6:58 - 7:00
    and mainly in Eastern Bloc.
  • 7:01 - 7:02
    And that was:
  • 7:02 - 7:07
    1.) The formal, official Turkish military.
  • 7:07 - 7:08
    And that is made up:
  • 7:10 - 7:12
    both Turkish military
    and the Turkish military intelligence,
  • 7:12 - 7:16
    directly connected to NATO, Brussels,
  • 7:16 - 7:18
    and within the Gladio operations.
  • 7:18 - 7:21
    But then, beneath the military
    -- Turkish official military --
  • 7:22 - 7:26
    you had the paramilitary force.
  • 7:26 - 7:27
    Who were these people?
  • 7:27 - 7:31
    And that's very, very interesting.
    These people...
  • 7:31 - 7:33
    Again, you look at some of the articles,
  • 7:33 - 7:35
    and people talking about it:
    yeah, they are saying,
  • 7:35 - 7:37
    "They are ultranationalists."
  • 7:38 - 7:40
    But what kind of jobs did they have?
  • 7:40 - 7:43
    Who were these people
    who were recruited by Turkish military,
  • 7:43 - 7:45
    trained, and absorbed into NATO's...
  • 7:45 - 7:46
    -- US/NATO's --
    Gladio operations?
  • 7:47 - 7:51
    Well, a lot of these people, actually:
    in 1980s, they were in jail.
  • 7:52 - 7:55
    They had positions that were...
  • 7:55 - 7:57
    the best way to describe them
    would be the Godfathers in Turkey.
  • 7:59 - 8:00
    "Babas."
  • 8:00 - 8:02
    That's how they refer to them in Turkey:
  • 8:02 - 8:05
    the babas,
    which means the Godfathers.
  • 8:05 - 8:07
    They were the top people
    who ran blackmail, heroin operations.
  • 8:13 - 8:15
    And even back then, it was...
  • 8:15 - 8:16
    Turkey has always been
    the most important artery
  • 8:18 - 8:21
    in moving heroin into Europe,
  • 8:22 - 8:23
    whether it came
    through the borders through Iran,
  • 8:25 - 8:28
    or it came via some Kurdish factions
    coming through Iraq...
  • 8:29 - 8:32
    So, Turkey has always been important.
  • 8:32 - 8:34
    And these babas ran...
  • 8:34 - 8:36
    -- and military did, too;
    Turkish military did, too --
  • 8:36 - 8:39
    but they were also ultranationalists;
  • 8:39 - 8:41
    but they were
    secularist ultranationalists.
  • 8:41 - 8:44
    They put Atatürk...
  • 8:44 - 8:48
    -- the father of Turkey;
    the father of modern Turkey --
  • 8:48 - 8:50
    in, basically, the place of God.
  • 8:50 - 8:51
    And of course,
    Atatürk advocated secularism
  • 8:54 - 8:55
    -- forced secularism.
  • 8:55 - 8:58
    And I have to emphasize this:
    forced secularism.
  • 8:58 - 8:59
    And these guys,
    even when I was growing up in Turkey,
  • 9:01 - 9:03
    they were very easy to identify.
  • 9:03 - 9:06
    They usually wore this mustache
  • 9:06 - 9:09
    that really resembled
    the Hitler mustache,
  • 9:09 - 9:11
    and they had salutes that were like...
  • 9:11 - 9:14
    for Grey Wolves, that was like this:
  • 9:14 - 9:17
    And their babas were in jail.
  • 9:17 - 9:19
    And these guys had informants all over:
  • 9:19 - 9:21
    not only in Turkey, but in elsewhere.
  • 9:22 - 9:25
    So, as part of Gladio's plan,
  • 9:26 - 9:29
    Turkish military, Turkish police,
    Turkish intelligence forces:
  • 9:29 - 9:31
    they took all these notorious...
  • 9:32 - 9:35
    -- I mean, these are psychopaths,
    sociopaths!
  • 9:35 - 9:38
    these people are mass-murderers --
  • 9:38 - 9:40
    they took them out of those prisons.
  • 9:40 - 9:42
    And they said, "You know what?
    Now you are going to...
  • 9:44 - 9:47
    -- with your skills, with what you do,
    with what you know --
  • 9:47 - 9:49
    you are going to serve the State."
  • 9:49 - 9:51
    And that is Turkey,
    and the Great Turkishness.
  • 9:54 - 9:58
    And Great Turkishness is also
    being protected by the West,
  • 9:58 - 9:59
    because, "The Communist is out there:
  • 9:59 - 10:01
    They're gonna take us over."
  • 10:01 - 10:03
    Then we have these issues
    with the Kurdish people...
  • 10:03 - 10:06
    And meanwhile, you can also
    fill out your own pockets.
  • 10:06 - 10:09
    You can still be big;
    you can still be Godfather;
  • 10:09 - 10:11
    but your main role...
  • 10:11 - 10:15
    -- and this is why we are releasing you,
    bringing you out --
  • 10:16 - 10:18
    is going to be serving us
    for all these operations"
  • 10:19 - 10:21
    So these guys were removed,
  • 10:21 - 10:24
    they were sent to various centers,
    including in Brussels.
  • 10:24 - 10:28
    And they received training,
    both via Turkish military,
  • 10:28 - 10:31
    via US-NATO forces...
  • 10:32 - 10:35
    And they were given diplomatic passports.
  • 10:36 - 10:39
    Not only Turkish passports,
    but passports from various countries.
  • 10:41 - 10:45
    And they still moved...
  • 10:45 - 10:48
    worked in the area
    where you move heroin;
  • 10:48 - 10:51
    but also weapons smuggling,
  • 10:51 - 10:55
    mass murders,
    a lot of false flag attacks.
  • 10:55 - 10:57
    Not only inside Turkey,
  • 10:57 - 10:59
    but in other countries as well.
  • 11:00 - 11:02
    And again, your guest
    talked about some of these:
  • 11:02 - 11:05
    the assassination attempts,
    the Pope, et cetera, et cetera.
  • 11:05 - 11:08
    And they also filled out
    their own pockets.
  • 11:08 - 11:11
    So, these were the characters.
  • 11:11 - 11:12
    Now, it's very interesting:
  • 11:12 - 11:15
    You'd say...
    -- or, a lot of people would say --
  • 11:15 - 11:18
    "Well, this was before:
    during Communism.
  • 11:20 - 11:22
    And we also did things with mujahideens
  • 11:22 - 11:24
    and Bin Laden in Afghanistan."
  • 11:24 - 11:25
    And, also:
    "It deals a lot with Turkish politics,
  • 11:27 - 11:31
    so why should that interest people
    here in the United States?"
  • 11:31 - 11:33
    And... because this is as much
    as they know,
  • 11:33 - 11:36
    or they read, or they hear.
  • 11:36 - 11:40
    So, what happens after the fall
    of the Soviet Union?
  • 11:40 - 11:43
    Well, the character you just mentioned,
    Abdullah Çatlı:
  • 11:44 - 11:47
    he's one of the main foot-soldiers,
  • 11:47 - 11:49
    one of the main commandos
    under the military
  • 11:50 - 11:51
    -- which is Turkish military;
  • 11:51 - 11:54
    which is under NATO
    and the United States.
  • 11:54 - 11:56
    One of the most notorious figures.
  • 11:56 - 11:58
    I mean, this guy was responsible,
    in and outside Turkey,
  • 11:59 - 12:02
    of tens of thousands of murders.
  • 12:02 - 12:03
    Bombs...
  • 12:06 - 12:07
    in some cases they would just
    storm a house
  • 12:07 - 12:09
    with medical students in Turkey
  • 12:09 - 12:10
    and they would cut everybody's heads.
  • 12:10 - 12:13
    And those people were accused
  • 12:13 - 12:17
    of advocating for socialism or communism.
  • 12:17 - 12:18
    This guy, he actually ends up
    on the list of most wanted...
  • 12:23 - 12:26
    -- INTERPOL's most wanted list, OK? --
  • 12:26 - 12:27
    for various reasons.
  • 12:27 - 12:28
    Murders...
  • 12:28 - 12:30
    international murders,
    not only murders in Turkey.
  • 12:30 - 12:34
    We are looking at INTERPOL's
    most wanted, right?
  • 12:34 - 12:36
    Heroin smuggling, weapons smuggling...
  • 12:36 - 12:40
    So he's on the top ten most wanted people;
  • 12:40 - 12:43
    and this is post-Soviet Union.
  • 12:43 - 12:46
    And he ends up in a jail,
  • 12:46 - 12:49
    in a high-security prison in Switzerland.
  • 12:49 - 12:53
    He gets arrested during
    one of his movement's operations.
  • 12:53 - 12:55
    And when you look
    at some of the reporting on this guy
  • 12:58 - 13:00
    -- including the newspapers,
  • 13:00 - 13:02
    or the articles written
    on the Grey Wolves --
  • 13:02 - 13:04
    it says:
  • 13:04 - 13:06
    while he was in this high-security prison
    in Switzerland
  • 13:06 - 13:09
    -- this is Abdullah Çatlı --
  • 13:09 - 13:11
    he escaped.
  • 13:11 - 13:12
    He actually escaped
    by support of helicopter.
  • 13:16 - 13:18
    So you're in a high-security prison
    in Switzerland
  • 13:19 - 13:22
    and you mysteriously escape
    via helicopter.
  • 13:24 - 13:26
    And some more detailed stories
  • 13:28 - 13:30
    from very few reporters who followed up
    and wrote on this:
  • 13:30 - 13:32
    and that was a NATO-owned helicopter!
  • 13:32 - 13:35
    I mean, this really sounds
    like a movie plot,
  • 13:35 - 13:37
    something that Hollywood would make.
  • 13:37 - 13:38
    And so, yeah:
    this is the most wanted INTERPOL guy.
  • 13:40 - 13:43
    It gets even stranger:
  • 13:43 - 13:44
    Same guy, while still wanted
    after he escapes
  • 13:48 - 13:51
    -- NATO helicopter
    from high-security Swiss prison --
  • 13:51 - 13:55
    he mysteriously ends up in England.
    In London. OK?
  • 13:57 - 14:00
    And again, mysteriously,
    in 1989, the government
  • 14:03 - 14:04
    -- UK government --
    grants him citizenship!
  • 14:05 - 14:07
    Hah!
  • 14:07 - 14:09
    It's not even one year
    since he enters the UK.
  • 14:09 - 14:13
    He is still the most wanted
    on INTERPOL's list.
  • 14:14 - 14:16
    And then, within a year after that,
  • 14:16 - 14:19
    this same guy, Abdullah Çatlı,
  • 14:19 - 14:21
    flies over, comes to the United States
  • 14:21 - 14:23
    -- and this is around 1990, 1991 --
  • 14:23 - 14:25
    comes to Chicago,
  • 14:25 - 14:27
    and is mysteriously given
    an American passport!
  • 14:29 - 14:33
    -- an American Green Card;
    this is not passport yet --
  • 14:34 - 14:35
    And during all this time,
  • 14:35 - 14:41
    he is among the top ten
    most wanted people by INTERPOL.
  • 14:41 - 14:44
    Now, the first question
    people should ask...
  • 14:44 - 14:45
    -- especially those who say,
  • 14:45 - 14:47
    "Ah, this is about some...
    during Cold War and Communism,
  • 14:49 - 14:52
    and it's Turkish internal politics...":
  • 14:52 - 14:55
    Why the most wanted guy by Interpol
  • 14:55 - 14:58
    -- a notorious murderer, drug-runner --
  • 14:59 - 15:00
    ends up in England, of all the places,
    and gets a citizenship?
  • 15:02 - 15:04
    Why he comes to the United States
  • 15:04 - 15:07
    and is given another citizenship?
  • 15:07 - 15:09
    So, that's the first questions
    listeners should be asking.
  • 15:11 - 15:16
    And, why Chicago is where he settles?
  • 15:16 - 15:18
    -- and that's where he settles;
    and when he settles there,
  • 15:18 - 15:19
    he has dozens of entries and exits
    from Chicago.
  • 15:22 - 15:24
    And after the Susurluk scandal
    -- which, I'm gonna get into it --
  • 15:26 - 15:28
    it basically comes out,
  • 15:28 - 15:32
    with all those investigations
    they had in Turkey
  • 15:32 - 15:34
    that from Chicago,
  • 15:34 - 15:37
    he carried out all these operations
    in Central Asia, Caucasus,
  • 15:40 - 15:41
    Eastern Europe,
    Xinjiang province of China.
  • 15:44 - 15:45
    So, he kept flying
  • 15:45 - 15:48
    -- while he's still most wanted
    by INTERPOL.
  • 15:48 - 15:51
    We don't know how and why
    he got all those citizenships
  • 15:51 - 15:53
    while he's most wanted,
  • 15:53 - 15:54
    and why he carried
    four or five diplomatic passports.
  • 15:57 - 15:58
    Nobody gets into those questions.
  • 15:58 - 16:00
    And these diplomatic passports
    are not, only, given to him
  • 16:01 - 16:03
    by government of Turkey.
  • 16:04 - 16:08
    So he... one of his trips...
    -- again, this is very well-documented --
  • 16:08 - 16:10
    This is not conspiracy theory.
  • 16:10 - 16:12
    This is not some Top Secret
    classified documents any longer,
  • 16:13 - 16:15
    because this stuff all came out
    during this...
  • 16:16 - 16:17
    after this scandal in Turkey.
  • 16:18 - 16:18
    So he... in 1996, 1995,
    he is the one
  • 16:22 - 16:25
    who goes to Azerbaijan from Chicago.
  • 16:25 - 16:28
    Via Turkey: goes to Azerbaijan.
  • 16:28 - 16:30
    With a team of several people
    -- less than a dozen --
  • 16:31 - 16:33
    he carries out this
    attempted assassination against Aliyev.
  • 16:38 - 16:40
    This is the Aliyev Senior,
  • 16:40 - 16:42
    before his son became
    the President of Azerbaijan.
  • 16:45 - 16:48
    And it was meant to be an "attempted,"
    that would not succeed.
  • 16:51 - 16:53
    Because if you look
    at Azerbaijan's position
  • 16:53 - 16:55
    during that same time
    -- 1994 to 1996 --
  • 16:58 - 17:01
    before this assassination attempt,
  • 17:01 - 17:03
    you would see that Aliyev
    was still siding with Russia.
  • 17:06 - 17:09
    It was still the old loyalties:
    the old loyalties of,
  • 17:11 - 17:15
    "We were part of the Soviet Union,
  • 17:15 - 17:18
    and we are still siding with Russia."
  • 17:18 - 17:22
    Now, this is when the United States,
    -- the West --
  • 17:22 - 17:24
    was trying by its proxy, Turkey...
  • 17:24 - 17:26
    Why Turkey? They speak Turkish.
  • 17:27 - 17:30
    What language do they speak
    in these countries, including Azerbaijan?
  • 17:30 - 17:31
    Turkish.
  • 17:31 - 17:32
    They are Muslim:
  • 17:32 - 17:34
    What's the religion in Azerbaijan
    and all these ex-Soviet blocs?
  • 17:37 - 17:38
    Muslims.
  • 17:38 - 17:41
    So: this was the ideal proxy
    to go grab countries
  • 17:43 - 17:45
    like Tajikistan, and Kyrgyzstan,
    and Azerbaijan, and say:
  • 17:49 - 17:52
    "OK: Say bye-bye to Russia.
    We want you to be one of us."
  • 17:52 - 17:54
    Right?
  • 17:54 - 17:56
    Well, of course, Russia
    was doing its part from the other side.
  • 17:58 - 18:00
    So during this period
    when this assassination attempt occurred,
  • 18:02 - 18:04
    Aliyev Senior
    -- the President in Azerbaijan --
  • 18:06 - 18:08
    still was loyal to Russia.
  • 18:08 - 18:10
    And all these different attempts
    to move him to the other side
  • 18:11 - 18:13
    had not been successful;
  • 18:14 - 18:16
    so they moved to plans
    that included assassination attempt,
  • 18:19 - 18:21
    paired up with blackmails.
  • 18:21 - 18:22
    Because, again: during this time,
  • 18:23 - 18:24
    the doors, the borders were open
    in Azerbaijan.
  • 18:26 - 18:28
    A lot of these Turkish babas,
    Godfathers, moved in there,
  • 18:30 - 18:33
    and they opened really lavish,
    interesting casinos.
  • 18:33 - 18:35
    You'd say, "Casinos? Azerbaijan?"
  • 18:35 - 18:36
    Yeah!
  • 18:36 - 18:37
    And, guess what?
  • 18:37 - 18:39
    Several of Aliyev's family
  • 18:41 - 18:43
    were given advance offerings
    in these casinos,
  • 18:43 - 18:45
    and they collected a lot of debt
  • 18:46 - 18:49
    -- and this is people very close
    to Aliyev Senior.
  • 18:49 - 18:51
    And they started
    getting death threats, saying,
  • 18:51 - 18:54
    "Well, if you don't pay off
    these millions-and-millions dollars
  • 18:54 - 18:57
    of debt in your casino gambling debt,
    we're gonna take you out."
  • 18:58 - 19:00
    Then comes the assassination attempt.
  • 19:01 - 19:04
    So, again: if people were to go
    and look at the records
  • 19:04 - 19:06
    on this assassination attempt on Aliyev,
  • 19:06 - 19:09
    they would see Abdullah Çatlı's name.
  • 19:09 - 19:12
    They would see that Aliyev
    came out and said,
  • 19:12 - 19:14
    "The people responsible for this
    were NATO/US via Turkey."
  • 19:17 - 19:19
    And the Turkish President
    calling and saying,
  • 19:19 - 19:21
    "No, these were the thugs,
    the mafia people:
  • 19:21 - 19:24
    they have nothing to do with us!"
  • 19:24 - 19:26
    All these denials.
  • 19:26 - 19:28
    Whatever happened, is...
  • 19:28 - 19:31
    Aliyev very quickly switched position
  • 19:31 - 19:34
    after this assassination attempt, OK?
  • 19:34 - 19:36
    You fast-forward, look at Azerbaijan:
  • 19:36 - 19:37
    Since 1996,
  • 19:37 - 19:40
    Azerbaijan's been the closest ally
    of the United States and NATO.
  • 19:43 - 19:46
    In fact, they are becoming a NATO member.
  • 19:47 - 19:48
    For the last eight years,
  • 19:48 - 19:50
    NATO has been there with a base,
    training them.
  • 19:50 - 19:52
    They've been passing the tests.
  • 19:52 - 19:54
    They went from purchasing
    something like $25 million worth
  • 19:54 - 19:59
    of weapons from the United States,
  • 19:59 - 20:05
    today to something like $4...
    three-and-a-half, $4 billions of...
  • 20:05 - 20:09
    four billion dollars of US weapons.
  • 20:09 - 20:12
    So: success! Gladio was successful.
  • 20:12 - 20:14
    It was... who carried it out?
  • 20:14 - 20:15
    Abdullah Çatlı.
  • 20:15 - 20:18
    After he finished, he just shook his hand
  • 20:18 - 20:20
    and said, "OK, mission accomplished."
  • 20:20 - 20:21
    Came back again to Chicago.
  • 20:22 - 20:25
    Now, I'm going
    to open a parenthesis here and say,
  • 20:25 - 20:27
    remember: for the past 11, 12 years,
  • 20:27 - 20:29
    I've been talking about the center
    of all these operations
  • 20:31 - 20:33
    that have to do
    with my State Secrets Privilege,
  • 20:33 - 20:35
    and people involved,
    was in Chicago.
  • 20:36 - 20:38
    I have been saying "Chicago"
    so many times!
  • 20:38 - 20:40
    So I don't believe anyone is...
  • 20:40 - 20:42
    -- at least not your listeners, or mine --
  • 20:43 - 20:44
    who haven't heard this:
    me saying, "Chicago, Chicago."
  • 20:45 - 20:47
    So: he went back to Chicago.
    This was one of his trips.
  • 20:48 - 20:50
    His other trips included
    going from the other side,
  • 20:52 - 20:53
    through the Pacific: going to China.
  • 20:54 - 20:55
    And then, from there,
    going to this area, Xinjiang.
  • 20:57 - 20:59
    This is extremely important.
  • 20:59 - 21:02
    Again, Xinjiang: Muslim population.
  • 21:02 - 21:04
    And they are referred to...
  • 21:04 - 21:06
    -- in Turkey, they don't call them
    Xinjiang.
  • 21:07 - 21:09
    It's "[East] Turkestan."
  • 21:09 - 21:10
    [East] Turkestan.
  • 21:10 - 21:12
    They speak Turkic dialect.
  • 21:12 - 21:13
    Guess what?
  • 21:13 - 21:15
    Up there? A great place!
  • 21:16 - 21:19
    Imagine, they get their independence:
  • 21:19 - 21:22
    We can have our little mini base there!
  • 21:22 - 21:24
    You know how close we are to China?
  • 21:24 - 21:27
    I mean, on one hand you can say,
    'Yeah, there's Taiwan out there.'
  • 21:27 - 21:30
    Well, this is going to be
    even more important than Taiwan!
  • 21:30 - 21:31
    And then, look again:
  • 21:31 - 21:34
    the other important strategic location
    for Xinjiang
  • 21:36 - 21:39
    -- for [East] Turkestan,
    a.k.a. Uyghuristan --
  • 21:39 - 21:42
    You look out there: you see Pakistan;
    you see Afghanistan.
  • 21:42 - 21:45
    This is a very important region.
  • 21:45 - 21:49
    This has been
    a very important region, prize,
  • 21:49 - 21:51
    for the United States, for the West.
  • 21:51 - 21:52
    We've been...
    we've been doing a lot of things there.
  • 21:54 - 21:55
    Every time you hear...
  • 21:56 - 21:58
    -- at least when I was working there,
  • 21:58 - 22:00
    during this period that FBI
    was investigating these...
  • 22:02 - 22:04
    -- not operations there, but people here:
  • 22:04 - 22:05
    the criminals in the US
    who carried out the operations there.
  • 22:08 - 22:10
    Those terrorist attacks:
  • 22:12 - 22:14
    they were orchestrated
    from a long distance.
  • 22:14 - 22:16
    You go to Turkey;
  • 22:16 - 22:18
    Then, from Turkey, you go to Brussels;
  • 22:18 - 22:19
    to England;
  • 22:19 - 22:21
    and then you go to the United States.
  • 22:21 - 22:23
    So, all the orchestration:
  • 22:23 - 22:24
    it's not some minorities
    or some Muslims get together,
  • 22:24 - 22:26
    suddenly they go and...
  • 22:26 - 22:28
    It doesn't happen.
  • 22:28 - 22:29
    It didn't happen that way,
    at least during that period.
  • 22:31 - 22:32
    And this guy from Chicago
    was sent to go and organize,
  • 22:36 - 22:39
    carry out a couple of terrorism,
    uprising events:
  • 22:41 - 22:41
    turn around,
    back to Chicago again.
  • 22:43 - 22:44
    Back to Chicago again.
  • 22:45 - 22:47
    So: NATO, the Gladio operation,
  • 22:49 - 22:51
    via Turkish military
  • 22:51 - 22:56
    and Turkish Godfather-ultranationalist-
    criminal-thug paramilitary,
  • 22:57 - 23:01
    continued until around 1996.
  • 23:01 - 23:03
    Towards the period...
    -- like, 1994 to 1996 --
  • 23:06 - 23:07
    the decision-makers...
    -- the top layers of NATO, the US:
  • 23:10 - 23:14
    what we usually refer to
    as "shadow government," "the powers" --
  • 23:14 - 23:16
    they were having this debate.
  • 23:16 - 23:20
    They were having this...
    two options in front of them.
  • 23:20 - 23:22
    Two plans: which one is better?
  • 23:22 - 23:24
    One is what they did
    before the fall of the Soviet Union:
  • 23:26 - 23:29
    and that was using ultranationalism
    -- fascism, OK? --
  • 23:31 - 23:33
    against the Soviet Union;
    against Communism.
  • 23:35 - 23:38
    Versus, what they have already seen
  • 23:38 - 23:43
    as a very successful, successful plan:
  • 23:43 - 23:45
    1.) They saw it in Afghanistan
  • 23:45 - 23:47
    with the mujahideens,
    Bin Laden group.
  • 23:47 - 23:48
    But then, recently...
    -- and this is 1994, 1995, 1996 --
  • 23:52 - 23:55
    they were seeing its use
    again and again:
  • 23:55 - 23:58
    in the Balkans,
    in the Kosovo region, in Bosnia.
  • 24:01 - 24:04
    And this is when we have
    all these mujahideen:
  • 24:04 - 24:07
    Bin Laden, Zawahiri...
    -- think about it, you know? --
  • 24:07 - 24:10
    factions from Egypt,
    Saudi Arabia, Pakistan:
  • 24:11 - 24:12
    bringing them to Turkey.
  • 24:12 - 24:14
    Train them; bring them over there.
  • 24:14 - 24:15
    It was, like:
  • 24:16 - 24:19
    "You know, these ultranationalists:
  • 24:19 - 24:22
    they haven't been very productive.
  • 24:22 - 24:25
    And we think the mujahideen
    Islamist factions
  • 24:25 - 24:27
    are gonna much more useful
    in our main objective of taking over:
  • 24:30 - 24:34
    having more of these ex-Soviet blocs
    on our side."
  • 24:34 - 24:36
    OK? On our side.
  • 24:36 - 24:40
    So this is... during this,
    sometimes we use them;
  • 24:40 - 24:46
    sometimes we use
    the fascist Godfather ultranationalists.
  • 24:46 - 24:49
    But then, in nineteen... end of 1996,
  • 24:49 - 24:52
    Abdullah Çatlı
  • 24:52 - 24:55
    -- the man we've been
    talking about; the thug,
  • 24:55 - 24:57
    who went through Xinjiang
    and all this stuff --
  • 24:57 - 24:59
    he comes to Turkey for another mission
  • 24:59 - 25:01
    that he was gonna go and implement.
  • 25:01 - 25:04
    However, while he's in Turkey,
  • 25:04 - 25:06
    together with some beauty queen
    and a few other colleagues:
  • 25:09 - 25:09
    they are in Turkey;
    they are traveling in this black Mercedes;
  • 25:11 - 25:13
    and they have a car crash, and...
  • 25:15 - 25:17
    they die.
  • 25:17 - 25:20
    Everyone in the car
    -- except one guy --
  • 25:20 - 25:22
    dies, right?
  • 25:22 - 25:24
    Well, before the Turkish police
    or military got to the bodies,
  • 25:26 - 25:27
    the local police
  • 25:27 - 25:30
    -- that wouldn't know anything
    about who were these people --
  • 25:30 - 25:32
    and the local journalists
    got to the scene.
  • 25:34 - 25:36
    And, lo and behold:
    here is the world's most wanted man,
  • 25:38 - 25:43
    Abdullah Çatlı, the great Godfather,
  • 25:43 - 25:46
    with all his diplomatic passports
    with him.
  • 25:46 - 25:47
    But, not only that:
    together with him,
  • 25:48 - 25:51
    you have the Chief of Police of Turkey.
  • 25:51 - 25:53
    I mean, the top police guy.
  • 25:53 - 25:57
    You have incredibly important
    legit political figures.
  • 25:57 - 25:59
    It was like, "WTF, woman!"
  • 25:59 - 26:03
    "What are they doing in the car
    with this guy?" -- Died.
  • 26:03 - 26:04
    Basically, this was...
    well, in Turkey
  • 26:05 - 26:08
    -- even though it had been leaked
    in little bits and pieces --
  • 26:08 - 26:10
    it was this huge exposure of the thugs
  • 26:12 - 26:15
    -- criminal, ultranationalist fascists --
  • 26:15 - 26:17
    actually working with
    -- and for --
  • 26:17 - 26:19
    the Turkish government.
  • 26:19 - 26:20
    And for right now, I'm gonna keep it...
  • 26:20 - 26:21
    "Turkish government:"
    that is, the Turkish military;
  • 26:23 - 26:26
    the Turkish...
    the legit Turkish institutions, right?
  • 26:27 - 26:29
    So, all the drug-running they were doing,
  • 26:29 - 26:30
    they were all controlled
    and managed by the state.
  • 26:33 - 26:36
    And all the killings, the terrorisms
  • 26:36 - 26:39
    that they're found responsible for:
  • 26:39 - 26:43
    again, they were executed for the state.
  • 26:44 - 26:46
    This was huge in Turkey.
  • 26:46 - 26:48
    It caused an uproar.
  • 26:48 - 26:50
    A lot of documents started leaking.
  • 26:51 - 26:53
    Just like "9/11 Commission,"
  • 26:53 - 26:55
    there was this huge commission
    established in Turkey.
  • 26:56 - 26:58
    Nobody talked about anything else
  • 26:58 - 27:01
    but this Susurluk...
    they called it "Susurluk Scandal"
  • 27:01 - 27:02
    because the car accident
    took place in Susurluk.
  • 27:04 - 27:06
    Now: there was this fear by the West
  • 27:09 - 27:12
    -- and this is the United States,
    the Europeans --
  • 27:12 - 27:13
    like, "Uh-Oh!"
  • 27:13 - 27:16
    "Now, we know that a lot
    of these commission members,
  • 27:16 - 27:18
    they are like ours: Thomas Kean, and...
  • 27:18 - 27:19
    but, some of them...
    -- or, by default --
  • 27:21 - 27:23
    a lot of other"
    -- excuse my language --
  • 27:23 - 27:25
    "crap may come out
    about our roles, the stuff we did."
  • 27:28 - 27:30
    "We" being the ultimate bosses.
  • 27:31 - 27:32
    And guess what happened?
  • 27:33 - 27:38
    One of the Turkish Gladio handlers
    in Turkey was an ambassador,
  • 27:40 - 27:44
    United States Ambassador
    in Turkey at the time.
  • 27:44 - 27:47
    This guy was Ambassador from 1992
  • 27:47 - 27:49
    until the Susurluk scandal:
  • 27:49 - 27:53
    no other guy than Marc Grossman:
  • 27:53 - 27:57
    the guy... I have been saying
    for the past five [years]:
  • 27:57 - 28:00
    "You've got to look at Marc Grossman."
  • 28:00 - 28:04
    So, with this fear that a lot of secrets
    -- state secrets --
  • 28:04 - 28:06
    were going to get out during this:
  • 28:06 - 28:08
    investigations, and journalists digging in;
  • 28:08 - 28:10
    some people were leaking;
    some people were talking.
  • 28:11 - 28:16
    The United States, right away,
    got their man out of Turkey:
  • 28:16 - 28:17
    Marc Grossman.
  • 28:17 - 28:18
    No reason cited.
  • 28:18 - 28:20
    He still had another one-and-a-half,
    two years left.
  • 28:20 - 28:22
    No reason cited.
  • 28:22 - 28:23
    Guess who else was pulled?
  • 28:23 - 28:26
    Another guy who was handling
    the Operation Gladio,
  • 28:27 - 28:28
    the Turkish militants
    in Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan.
  • 28:31 - 28:32
    This man, his name:
  • 28:32 - 28:34
    -- at the time, a Major --
    Major Douglas Dickerson.
  • 28:36 - 28:37
    This is the man...
  • 28:37 - 28:39
    -- if you have read my book;
    if you know my case --
  • 28:40 - 28:42
    was the one who was married
    to this spy in the FBI.
  • 28:44 - 28:46
    Major Douglas Dickerson:
  • 28:46 - 28:48
    he still had one-and-a-half years left.
  • 28:48 - 28:50
    He was working for Marc Grossman
    in Ankara.
  • 28:50 - 28:54
    His main task under NATO
    was operations...
  • 28:55 - 28:58
    Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan.
  • 28:58 - 29:01
    There were three or four countries
    that he directed,
  • 29:01 - 29:04
    the Turkish paramilitary
    Gladio operations in those countries.
  • 29:04 - 29:06
    Lo and behold: the same man
    -- this is documented --
  • 29:07 - 29:10
    he is pulled off of his position
  • 29:10 - 29:13
    and immediately sent
    to a base in Germany
  • 29:13 - 29:16
    -- this is American military base --
    and from there to Brussels.
  • 29:16 - 29:18
    Hah! This is interesting!
  • 29:19 - 29:20
    Now, these characters
  • 29:20 - 29:23
    -- that've been talked about
    in my case for 12 years --
  • 29:23 - 29:25
    were there in 1997.
  • 29:25 - 29:27
    Susurluk happens:
    they were pulled out.
  • 29:27 - 29:30
    So was the top military man...
  • 29:31 - 29:33
    -- and this was the top man
    for the Turkish
  • 29:34 - 29:38
    so-called "counterterrorism"
    operations commando --
  • 29:38 - 29:41
    was sent on a mission
    to Washington, DC Turkish Embassy.
  • 29:41 - 29:46
    -- and again, this is documented --
  • 29:46 - 29:48
    Right after Susurluk,
    they had to get him out.
  • 29:48 - 29:50
    He was a chief guy in the military
  • 29:50 - 29:52
    overseeing these thugs
    and these operations:
  • 29:52 - 29:56
    these false terror,
    false flag operations.
  • 29:56 - 29:57
    Not only in Turkey:
    Central Asia, Caucasus;
  • 29:59 - 30:02
    a lot of Chechen operations;
    Eastern Europe.
  • 30:03 - 30:05
    So, he was pulled;
    he was sent to Washington, DC.
  • 30:06 - 30:07
    He never went back.
  • 30:08 - 30:09
    Again, nobody cited any reason.
  • 30:09 - 30:11
    They took all these important figures:
  • 30:11 - 30:14
    they took them to Brussels,
  • 30:14 - 30:16
    and they took them to Washington, DC.
  • 30:17 - 30:19
    And...
  • 30:19 - 30:20
    then it was the decision-making time
  • 30:22 - 30:25
    for the "top guys in the world..."
    -- For NATO, US, UK --
  • 30:27 - 30:28
    saying:
  • 30:28 - 30:30
    "Too much exposure.
  • 30:30 - 30:32
    This chapter is closed.
  • 30:32 - 30:33
    Gladio is not closed:
  • 30:33 - 30:35
    We are going to Plan B,
  • 30:35 - 30:37
    Gladio Plan B operations...
  • 30:37 - 30:41
    which... we have already prepared
    for it some, to some extent.
  • 30:41 - 30:42
    And that is:
    we are not gonna use paramilitary;
  • 30:46 - 30:49
    we're gonna use Islamist factions.
  • 30:49 - 30:52
    Who? a.k.a. mujahideens.
    a.k.a. al-Qaeda.
  • 30:56 - 30:59
    - Sibel: So... this is, again...
    - James: OK, let's... so...
  • 30:59 - 31:01
    (Sibel) Just think about Bosnia.
  • 31:01 - 31:04
    (James) OK, that's
    an incredible amount of information;
  • 31:04 - 31:06
    so just to be absolutely clear:
  • 31:06 - 31:09
    I think it is clear that you're saying
    that the Susurluk scandal
  • 31:09 - 31:12
    and what happened to Çatlı was not...
  • 31:12 - 31:14
    that was not something
    they wanted to happen;
  • 31:14 - 31:16
    that was not something that was planned:
  • 31:16 - 31:18
    He was not taken out of the picture,
  • 31:18 - 31:19
    but it was as a as a result of his death
  • 31:19 - 31:21
    that they switched to Plan B?
  • 31:21 - 31:22
    They weren't going to switch to Plan B
    until that happened?
  • 31:25 - 31:27
    Nobody knows the answer to that,
  • 31:29 - 31:31
    because there are so many
    questions surrounding this accident.
  • 31:31 - 31:33
    First of all, how this guy, unscratched,
  • 31:33 - 31:36
    walked out of the car, OK?
  • 31:36 - 31:38
    And there were also
    some questions about...
  • 31:38 - 31:40
    that they may have been,
    actually, dead before the accident.
  • 31:40 - 31:42
    Because there was this autopsy report
  • 31:42 - 31:45
    that their heads, a few of them,
    were broken:
  • 31:45 - 31:49
    before the crash.
  • 31:49 - 31:52
    So, nobody knows who's responsible.
  • 31:52 - 31:55
    Was that staged?
    If so, which faction?
  • 31:55 - 32:00
    Is it something that...
    OK, the top guy said,
  • 32:00 - 32:03
    "We want to eventually
    eliminate these guys,"
  • 32:03 - 32:06
    "because they are in some ways
    out of control:
  • 32:07 - 32:09
    we want to go to Plan B?"
  • 32:09 - 32:10
    Was it someone else? We don't know.
  • 32:10 - 32:12
    And to this day...
  • 32:12 - 32:13
    you know how we scream about 9/11?
  • 32:13 - 32:15
    Well, in Turkey, since 1996,
  • 32:15 - 32:17
    people have been screaming "Susurluk."
  • 32:17 - 32:19
    Instead of "9/11" they say "Susurluk,"
  • 32:19 - 32:21
    because a lot of stuff
    -- whether it's the Deep State...
  • 32:21 - 32:24
    a lot of questions still remain
  • 32:24 - 32:26
    unanswered about it,
    and that's one of them.
  • 32:26 - 32:28
    And that is: was it an accident?
  • 32:28 - 32:30
    We don't know. Nobody knows.
  • 32:30 - 32:31
    (James) Were any of the other babas
    similarly rubbed out
  • 32:33 - 32:35
    in interesting incidents?
  • 32:35 - 32:38
    (Sibel) One interesting character
  • 32:38 - 32:42
    who was, again, a huge figure, and...
  • 32:42 - 32:44
    -- we used to have
    a little summer cottage,
  • 32:44 - 32:46
    my husband and I,
  • 32:46 - 32:48
    because we went to Turkey
    every year -- before all this,
  • 32:48 - 32:50
    FBI things, happened;
    whistleblowing.
  • 32:50 - 32:53
    And in this little, small
    fishing-village city
  • 32:53 - 32:55
    -- which is now very fashionable;
  • 32:55 - 32:58
    it wasn't back then when we got it --
  • 32:58 - 33:00
    but, one of the babas
    had a few hotels and casinos there.
  • 33:00 - 33:02
    While, actually, we were there
  • 33:02 - 33:07
    -- I was in Turkey,
    and this is 1999, 1998 --
  • 33:07 - 33:09
    he was assassinated,
    during the daylight.
  • 33:09 - 33:13
    A lot of these Gladio babas
    were being taken out.
  • 33:13 - 33:16
    And in some cases,
  • 33:16 - 33:20
    they would get some otherbabas
    [to] take out some otherbabas.
  • 33:20 - 33:22
    So, Godfather against Godfather.
  • 33:22 - 33:25
    Who was managing one Godfather against...?
  • 33:25 - 33:27
    But, a lot of them were taken out.
  • 33:27 - 33:29
    And again, now, this is when
    we completely went to Plan B
  • 33:31 - 33:33
    --"we:" United States, NATO --
  • 33:33 - 33:35
    and said, "We're gonna use mujahideen."
  • 33:35 - 33:38
    What happened
    to the ultranationalist fascist guys?
  • 33:38 - 33:41
    For a while...
    some of the main ones were taken out;
  • 33:41 - 33:45
    some of the other ones were left alone.
  • 33:45 - 33:46
    They stayed rogue for a while,
    tried to have their own thing.
  • 33:48 - 33:51
    It's like,
  • 33:51 - 33:54
    "United States kind of turned...
    is turning its back to us.
  • 33:54 - 33:56
    We were [backed?]...
  • 33:56 - 33:58
    And the same thing
    is true with the state."
  • 33:58 - 34:00
    So things, for a while,
    were kind of murky.
  • 34:01 - 34:03
    Then came the current Turkish regime,
  • 34:03 - 34:06
    the Islamic government in Turkey.
  • 34:06 - 34:09
    It's very interesting,
    because in the United States,
  • 34:10 - 34:12
    a lot of things came up,
  • 34:12 - 34:16
    writings saying US was kind of worried
  • 34:16 - 34:19
    about this Islamic government in Turkey:
  • 34:20 - 34:22
    "What is gonna happen in Turkey?"
  • 34:22 - 34:24
    "Are they gonna end up
    being another Iran?"
  • 34:24 - 34:26
    Et cetera, et cetera.
  • 34:26 - 34:28
    It was... it's so interesting:
  • 34:28 - 34:32
    it's like using
    reverse psychology with people.
  • 34:32 - 34:35
    And you get to see that a lot
    in the Middle East.
  • 34:35 - 34:38
    And that is... let's say US wants
  • 34:38 - 34:40
    to install a puppet regime there.
  • 34:40 - 34:43
    One of the first things
    that has to happen,
  • 34:43 - 34:45
    there needs to be this illusion
  • 34:45 - 34:47
    that US is worried about this regime
  • 34:47 - 34:50
    and that this regime is tough
    on US or Israel
  • 34:50 - 34:53
    to get the support of the majority;
    to be legitimized.
  • 34:54 - 34:58
    So in many cases,
    that's actually a tactic.
  • 34:58 - 35:00
    It's like, you write there,
    you say you're concerned,
  • 35:00 - 35:02
    when this is your first choice:
  • 35:02 - 35:04
    this is what you want for Turkey.
  • 35:04 - 35:09
    -- "This is," being, US wanting
    this government in Turkey. --
  • 35:09 - 35:10
    Since they went to Plan B,
    that was always the plan.
  • 35:11 - 35:14
    It's like, "We want this so-called"
  • 35:14 - 35:16
    "'moderate Islamic' government there."
  • 35:16 - 35:22
    Now, after Çatlı's death,
    when we completely...
  • 35:23 - 35:26
    the Gladio went to Plan B mode
    for Central Asia/Caucasus
  • 35:26 - 35:27
    -- via Islam.
  • 35:27 - 35:29
    And these Islamic factions,
  • 35:29 - 35:33
    they already had
    a candidate in mind, a leader.
  • 35:33 - 35:37
    And this man was this preacher,
  • 35:37 - 35:40
    this symbol of fanatic Islam in Turkey.
  • 35:40 - 35:43
    Now, they no longer call them fanatic.
  • 35:43 - 35:44
    Because he's supported by the US,
  • 35:44 - 35:46
    we call him a "moderate" Islamist.
  • 35:47 - 35:50
    And his name is Fethullah Gülen.
  • 35:50 - 35:52
    Now, Fethullah Gülen was preaching
  • 35:52 - 35:55
    in Turkey during these 1990s
  • 35:55 - 35:57
    against the secular government:
  • 35:57 - 36:00
    "In Turkey, we need
    to have a government
  • 36:00 - 36:03
    that reflects, more, people's value:
    which is Islam.
  • 36:03 - 36:05
    We have to go back to our roots."
  • 36:05 - 36:07
    It was a different form
    of ultranationalists:
  • 36:07 - 36:09
    ultranationalists were like,
  • 36:09 - 36:12
    "We don't want to be part of the EU;
    we want Turkish culture.
  • 36:12 - 36:15
    In fact, all these Central Asian
    countries there:
  • 36:15 - 36:16
    we want to get together with them,
    take over them,
  • 36:18 - 36:20
    and make this great Turkic Republic."
  • 36:20 - 36:24
    Now, this preacher Fethullah Gülen
    said the same thing;
  • 36:24 - 36:27
    but he didn't say "nation;"
    he said "Islam..."
  • 36:27 - 36:29
    -- but the Turkish way of Islam --
  • 36:29 - 36:32
    together with Turkish language:
  • 36:32 - 36:33
    "We need to go and get
    our other brothers in Central Asia
  • 36:35 - 36:37
    -- Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan --
    bring them together,
  • 36:39 - 36:43
    and be one great Islamic Turkey.
  • 36:43 - 36:44
    Not fanatic, you know?
    Moderate, Turkish way of Islamic..."
  • 36:46 - 36:49
    -- whatever is
    the "Turkish way of Islamic."
  • 36:49 - 36:52
    Now, the military regime in Turkey
  • 36:52 - 36:53
    hated this guy, so he was wanted.
  • 36:53 - 36:55
    There were already some trials.
  • 36:55 - 36:57
    They wanted to put him in jail, OK?
  • 36:57 - 36:59
    He was going through all this period.
  • 36:59 - 37:02
    Accident happens: and he's wanted.
  • 37:02 - 37:04
    He's actually declared criminal,
    terrorist, anti-secularist
  • 37:06 - 37:08
    by the Turkish government.
  • 37:08 - 37:12
    Yet, mysteriously,
    after Susurluk incident,
  • 37:12 - 37:14
    this guy, Fethullah Gülen
    -- in a private Gulfstream --
  • 37:16 - 37:18
    ends up in the United States of America;
  • 37:18 - 37:20
    lands here in Washington, DC.
  • 37:20 - 37:23
    Hah! Why the United States?
  • 37:23 - 37:25
    "This is a great Turkic Republic,
    Islamic..."
  • 37:25 - 37:27
    why are you coming to US?
  • 37:27 - 37:29
    He hasn't left the United States since.
  • 37:29 - 37:32
    This is since 1997.
  • 37:32 - 37:35
    First he was in Washington, DC area.
  • 37:35 - 37:38
    They gave him a lavish house,
  • 37:38 - 37:40
    and let him set up his organization
    -- "Islamic" organization.
  • 37:41 - 37:45
    Currently, it's valued somewhere
    above $20 billion dollars.
  • 37:45 - 37:48
    It's the largest Islamic organization
    in the world,
  • 37:48 - 37:51
    headquartered in the United States. OK?
  • 37:51 - 37:53
    And I'm gonna come back again
    -- if we have time --
  • 37:53 - 37:55
    to this character.
  • 37:55 - 37:57
    But he's here in Washington, DC area
    and Pennsylvania.
  • 37:59 - 38:02
    Who is his next neighbor?
  • 38:02 - 38:04
    His next neighbor... [laughs]
  • 38:04 - 38:06
    This is... I'm laughing.
  • 38:06 - 38:08
    It's because nobody ever
    touches these issues:
  • 38:08 - 38:10
    -- because they are told not to,
  • 38:10 - 38:12
    as far as mainstream media goes;
  • 38:12 - 38:13
    as far as alternative media goes,
    it's like,
  • 38:13 - 38:17
    "Man, dude! This is so complicated!
    I can't get into that."
  • 38:17 - 38:21
    Next to him is this guy
    called Yusuf Turani.
  • 38:21 - 38:23
    Now, this is the guy
    who used to be in Xinjiang...
  • 38:26 - 38:29
    -- Uyghuristan; Turkestan in China --
  • 38:29 - 38:31
    He was taken out of there;
    he lived for a while in Turkey,
  • 38:34 - 38:37
    then he was...
    he came to the United States.
  • 38:37 - 38:38
    He was given citizenship.
  • 38:38 - 38:41
    And the State Department brought him,
    and they had a meeting
  • 38:42 - 38:44
    -- and this is in 1997 --
  • 38:44 - 38:47
    and they declared independent country
    of [East] Turkestan
  • 38:49 - 38:54
    with the President of [East] Turkestan
    in absentia.
  • 38:54 - 38:55
    Like, nobody knows this, right?
  • 38:55 - 38:59
    So you declare a country
    and a President in a meeting,
  • 38:59 - 39:01
    at an oval table in the State Department.
  • 39:01 - 39:03
    We say, "We are declaring Xinjiang
    [East] Turkestan;
  • 39:03 - 39:05
    and here is the President."
  • 39:05 - 39:08
    Now, he swears...
    his oath of office is taken
  • 39:08 - 39:10
    inside the building,
    in the State Department,
  • 39:10 - 39:13
    in Washington, DC, in 1997.
  • 39:13 - 39:16
    Well, he's part of
    the same Gladio Plan B network, OK?
  • 39:16 - 39:17
    So through him...
  • 39:17 - 39:20
    -- because he's the leader in absentia,
  • 39:20 - 39:24
    president in absentia of this country
    that really doesn't exist
  • 39:24 - 39:27
    except in the eyes of the United States:
    [East] Turkestan --
  • 39:27 - 39:29
    so, he was part of Plan B
    and still is part of Plan B,
  • 39:31 - 39:34
    heading and carrying out operations;
  • 39:34 - 39:36
    through his people and network
  • 39:36 - 39:39
    [that] goes down
    in Xinjiang Province of China
  • 39:39 - 39:42
    Now, between 1997,
    after he moved to the United States,
  • 39:45 - 39:46
    this guy...
    -- this preacher Fethullah Gülen, right? --
  • 39:49 - 39:54
    opened up 350 mosques and madrasas
    in Central Asia and Caucasus.
  • 39:57 - 40:01
    350, James -- in four years!
  • 40:01 - 40:03
    Nobody knows
    where the money's coming from.
  • 40:03 - 40:08
    He says, "These are donations
    from good-hearted Turkish people."
  • 40:08 - 40:13
    (laughs) That, it means...
    -- let's take a look at it. If...
  • 40:13 - 40:15
    We don't even get that much...
  • 40:15 - 40:18
    we don't even collect
    that much tax in Turkey!
  • 40:18 - 40:20
    Even the government is unable,
    by force, to collect that much tax.
  • 40:20 - 40:24
    So, we've got these $20 billion
    of net worth.
  • 40:24 - 40:26
    So, 350 mosques and madrasas.
  • 40:26 - 40:30
    But because he preaches modern Islam
  • 40:30 - 40:32
    -- you know, not the fanatic Islam --
  • 40:32 - 40:36
    he advocates teaching English
    to all his students,
  • 40:36 - 40:39
    pupils in the madrasas.
  • 40:39 - 40:41
    These are boys with Qu'ran,
    and they go like...
  • 40:41 - 40:43
    but they have to learn English.
  • 40:43 - 40:45
    And for the teaching of English
  • 40:45 - 40:47
    for his organizations that he owns,
  • 40:47 - 40:49
    -- these mosques and madrasas --
  • 40:49 - 40:52
    he needs to send English teachers
  • 40:52 - 40:54
    to Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan
    and et cetera, right?
  • 40:56 - 40:58
    But for some reason,
    hundreds of these English teachers
  • 40:58 - 41:01
    that went -- have been going --
  • 41:01 - 41:03
    from the United States to these countries
  • 41:03 - 41:05
    -- Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, et cetera --
  • 41:05 - 41:07
    they all have diplomatic passports!
  • 41:07 - 41:09
    Now, you taught English.
  • 41:09 - 41:11
    Were you given diplomatic passports
    to teach English in Japan?
  • 41:12 - 41:14
    - James: (laughs)
    - Sibel: No? (laughs)
  • 41:14 - 41:16
    This... again, people will say,
    "Oh, this is some allegation."
  • 41:16 - 41:18
    No! And this is why
    I have had articles trans--
  • 41:20 - 41:22
    I have translated articles
  • 41:22 - 41:26
    -- mainstream media in Europe
    and in Turkey --
  • 41:26 - 41:28
    and it's there!
  • 41:28 - 41:30
    It's already been proven;
    and they...
  • 41:30 - 41:32
    -- United States, the State Department --
    is not denying.
  • 41:32 - 41:34
    They are saying,
  • 41:34 - 41:37
    "Because those countries
    are backwards and dangerous,
  • 41:37 - 41:39
    they need diplomatic protections."
  • 41:39 - 41:40
    Well,hah!
  • 41:40 - 41:44
    Anyhow, Plan B Gladio operations:
    these are...
  • 41:44 - 41:46
    I'm giving the examples
    of what Plan B has been about.
  • 41:49 - 41:52
    And this was when we
    -- the United States, NATO --
  • 41:54 - 41:56
    started really closely working
    with Bin Laden and Zawahiri.
  • 41:58 - 42:06
    And... again,
    from what we knew in the FBI
  • 42:06 - 42:08
    with some of the trips that Zawahiri took,
  • 42:09 - 42:13
    the meetings with the high-level Turkish
    people in Turkey,
  • 42:13 - 42:15
    several trips that Zawahiri took
  • 42:15 - 42:20
    and went to Azerbaijan
    between 1997 and 2001.
  • 42:20 - 42:21
    And while in Azerbaijan,
    he met with a lot of US officials.
  • 42:25 - 42:26
    It was sponsored;
    and it held the meetings
  • 42:28 - 42:31
    in Turkish Embassy
    in Baku, Azerbaijan, with Zawahiri;
  • 42:32 - 42:35
    Prince Bandar was there.
  • 42:35 - 42:37
    A lot of the stuff that we got:
  • 42:37 - 42:39
    I mean, Bin Laden
    seemed to be number two:
  • 42:39 - 42:41
    It was all Zawahiri.
  • 42:41 - 42:43
    Believe me or not,
    it was Ayman Zawahiri.
  • 42:43 - 42:46
    It was Zawahiri that came to Turkey
  • 42:46 - 42:47
    and then went from Turkey
    to Albania, to Kosovo...
  • 42:50 - 42:52
    So, anyhow: we...
  • 42:52 - 42:55
    -- United States, together with Turkey:
  • 42:55 - 42:58
    Turkish military, faction of it --
  • 42:58 - 43:01
    started working very closely
    in these countries
  • 43:01 - 43:03
    with Ayman Zawahiri,
    Bin Laden, Prince Bandar.
  • 43:07 - 43:09
    Lots of meetings took place;
  • 43:09 - 43:11
    and a lot of it was coordinated
    via the Turkish proxy.
  • 43:14 - 43:16
    Well, these Turkish proxies
    were being investigated by the FBI;
  • 43:19 - 43:22
    -- not for that reason;
    for other reasons --
  • 43:22 - 43:24
    But inadvertently,
    we were getting this information
  • 43:24 - 43:27
    through the recordings of...
  • 43:27 - 43:30
    whether it is, hypothetically speaking,
  • 43:30 - 43:34
    Turkish military being wiretapped;
  • 43:34 - 43:36
    or if it's a Turkish military attaché;
    diplomatic institutions;
  • 43:38 - 43:41
    other various front organizations.
  • 43:41 - 43:43
    So, let's say you were...
  • 43:44 - 43:47
    via FISA, you were monitoring it
    -- "you" being the FBI --
  • 43:49 - 43:50
    for... to see if there is
    some espionage activities, et cetera.
  • 43:52 - 43:54
    But while you are monitoring them,
  • 43:54 - 43:55
    you are coming with mother-lodes
    of information that has to do...
  • 43:55 - 43:58
    it's like, "Huh?"
    You know?
  • 43:59 - 44:01
    And another interesting thing
    that I have to mention here is:
  • 44:03 - 44:06
    -- and nobody has ever
    mentioned this in public
    --
  • 44:07 - 44:11
    Now, in the FBI, every single country
  • 44:11 - 44:15
    -- every single country except four --
  • 44:15 - 44:20
    were wiretapped,
    were monitored under FISA.
  • 44:20 - 44:21
    And by this I mean
    all their diplomatic arms.
  • 44:25 - 44:26
    Let's say, if it's a German embassy
  • 44:26 - 44:28
    and a German military attaché
    in Washington, DC:
  • 44:28 - 44:32
    under FISA, four countries...
    four countries...
  • 44:35 - 44:36
    Except four countries:
    Four countries were exempt.
  • 44:39 - 44:41
    They could not be monitored
    by the FBI under FISA,
  • 44:44 - 44:50
    that could be used in espionage
    and even criminal activities.
  • 44:50 - 44:51
    You want to have a guess?
  • 44:51 - 44:54
    - James: Can I take a stab at it? I'm...
    - Sibel: What countries?
  • 44:54 - 44:56
    (Sibel) A lot of people
    would say Israel; it's not.
  • 44:56 - 44:57
    (James): It's not Israel?
  • 44:57 - 45:00
    - Sibel: OK, I'll help you...
    - James: I guess Turkey is on that list...
  • 45:00 - 45:02
    (Sibel) Yep. It was, until I went...
  • 45:02 - 45:05
    I started the official Turkish division
  • 45:05 - 45:08
    - Sibel: for the FBI.
    - James: Right
  • 45:08 - 45:11
    (Sibel) Prior to my employment with the FBI,
  • 45:11 - 45:14
    the Pentagon sent
    this lieutenant colonel woman.
  • 45:14 - 45:16
    She was a Turkish-American woman;
  • 45:16 - 45:19
    NATO, Pentagon liaison.
  • 45:19 - 45:21
    They would send her
    every two or three months
  • 45:21 - 45:24
    to come and randomly translate
    certain things for the FBI.
  • 45:26 - 45:28
    Because certain things
    were being recorded;
  • 45:28 - 45:30
    but FBI couldn't have
    an official division:
  • 45:30 - 45:32
    meaning they could never
    investigate criminally, or for espionage.
  • 45:34 - 45:37
    Turkey is one;
    all right: three more.
  • 45:37 - 45:40
    (James) Oh no. (laughs) Well...
    If it's going to play into
  • 45:40 - 45:44
    what's happening in Central Asia
    and the Caucasus,
  • 45:44 - 45:47
    it would have to be,
    perhaps, Pakistan?
  • 45:51 - 45:55
    )Sibel) No. We had a pretty good division
    on Pakistan.
  • 45:55 - 45:57
    Because, you see, this included...
  • 45:57 - 46:00
    that's why I gave
    the example of Germany:
  • 46:00 - 46:02
    because this included
    European countries, too.
  • 46:02 - 46:06
    It was Turkey, Azerbaijan,
    United Kingdom...
  • 46:06 - 46:08
    -- you would think, "English! What?" --
  • 46:08 - 46:10
    United Kingdom is exempt
    -- and for a reason.
  • 46:10 - 46:12
    And that reason? Well...
  • 46:12 - 46:15
    and the fourth one is Belgium.
  • 46:15 - 46:17
    Nobody in the FBI is allowed...
  • 46:17 - 46:21
    because there are too much
    sensitive stuff going on with Belgium
  • 46:21 - 46:23
    So these are the four.
  • 46:23 - 46:25
    No, Israel, we had a huge division;
  • 46:25 - 46:27
    and FBI was extremely frustrated.
  • 46:27 - 46:30
    They hated how investigations
    were being stopped, et cetera.
  • 46:31 - 46:34
    But they... we had a huge division
    there on Israel. (chuckles)
  • 46:34 - 46:36
    And we had so much crap on Israel:
    they had huge amounts.
  • 46:37 - 46:39
    Unfortunately, it could never be used,
  • 46:39 - 46:41
    but they never... they still collect.
  • 46:41 - 46:43
    But no, not Israel;
  • 46:43 - 46:47
    but it would be Turkey, Azerbaijan,
    and UK, and Belgium.
  • 46:47 - 46:50
    And again, as I said...
  • 46:50 - 46:54
    -- the artery, at the beginning
    of this interview --
  • 46:54 - 46:59
    it was United States, Belgium,
    England, Turkey.
  • 46:59 - 47:05
    And... so, anyhow:
    Fethullah Gülen still is here,
  • 47:05 - 47:07
    he's still in Turkey [sic],
  • 47:07 - 47:09
    he has this huge castle built
    in Pennsylvania.
  • 47:09 - 47:11
    We have... he has opened...
  • 47:11 - 47:12
    - James: Sorry... I just...
    - Sibel: Yes.
  • 47:12 - 47:14
    (James) Before we go on with that,
  • 47:14 - 47:16
    I just want to spell that out
    for the audience out there,
  • 47:16 - 47:19
    in case they don't know:
  • 47:19 - 47:21
    Of course, one of
    the implications of this:
  • 47:21 - 47:23
    NATO's headquarters
    are in Brussels, in Belgium.
  • 47:23 - 47:24
    This is the head of NATO itself.
  • 47:24 - 47:26
    So, again: just to spell that out for people,
  • 47:26 - 47:29
    in case they didn't quite get
    the implication of that.
  • 47:30 - 47:32
    (Sibel) Correct, absolutely.
  • 47:32 - 47:35
    And during the Susurluk
    investigation, the...
  • 47:35 - 47:38
    some of the documents
    that became public:
  • 47:38 - 47:40
    a special office in Pentagon
  • 47:40 - 47:43
    that was responsible for all this Gladio
  • 47:43 - 47:48
    -- false flag, false terrorism --
    operations.
  • 47:48 - 47:49
    It... the exact division
    was spelled out in documents.
  • 47:51 - 47:53
    I mean, they had a major office.
  • 47:53 - 47:56
    There is a major division
    that oversees that.
  • 47:56 - 48:00
    And as I said,
    they work with these thugs and criminals.
  • 48:00 - 48:02
    And the fact that
  • 48:02 - 48:04
    -- as people write
    and talk about it --
  • 48:04 - 48:07
    it was not dismantled and just left there
  • 48:07 - 48:10
    after the end of the Soviet Union,
  • 48:10 - 48:13
    after the fall of the Soviet Union.
  • 48:13 - 48:16
    It went... it went forward
    with the operations,
  • 48:16 - 48:19
    and in 1997 it went to Plan B.
  • 48:19 - 48:21
    And this is why, again,
  • 48:21 - 48:24
    [unintelligible] it's very interesting,
  • 48:24 - 48:28
    because during this three,
    four years' period,
  • 48:28 - 48:32
    there were dozens and dozens
    of joint operations
  • 48:32 - 48:35
    with individuals
    like Ayman Zawahiri and...
  • 48:35 - 48:37
    -- meaning that,
    it was never called "al-Qaeda;"
  • 48:37 - 48:41
    It was "mujahideen, headed by..."
  • 48:41 - 48:44
    And again, it's very interesting:
  • 48:44 - 48:46
    when, lately, these leaders
    [of] these regimes
  • 48:46 - 48:48
    we topple in these countries:
    they are...
  • 48:50 - 48:52
    they end up dead,
    so they cannot talk,
  • 48:52 - 48:54
    or they end up sick with heart attacks.
  • 48:54 - 48:56
    They can't talk, really, have trials.
  • 48:56 - 48:58
    We saw it with Gaddafi.
  • 48:58 - 49:00
    But again, one of the things
    that took place
  • 49:00 - 49:03
    -- and again, Turkey behind the scenes
  • 49:03 - 49:06
    played a major role together with US --
  • 49:06 - 49:09
    was we in the United States
    asked Mubarak
  • 49:10 - 49:14
    to release some of the top
    fundamental[ist] anti-regime figures
  • 49:14 - 49:18
    from prison in the 1990s.
  • 49:18 - 49:20
    And they came to Turkey,
    and they became part of this movement.
  • 49:22 - 49:24
    When I say "anti-regime," it would be...
  • 49:24 - 49:26
    Mubarak had to release
    some fundamental[ist]s
  • 49:26 - 49:29
    who were anti-Mubarak! And...
  • 49:29 - 49:32
    because the higher powers
    told him that,
  • 49:32 - 49:38
    "We need these people in Turkey,
    and we have tasks for them."
  • 49:39 - 49:40
    You take a look and see
    how many times he's been released,
  • 49:42 - 49:44
    people like Zawahiri.
  • 49:47 - 49:49
    Anyhow, we had these;
    and then, 9/11 happened.
  • 49:52 - 49:53
    And this is when...
    I kept saying...
  • 49:53 - 49:57
    -- these organizations, OK? --
    these things come together.
  • 49:57 - 50:00
    And people... people say,
  • 50:00 - 50:03
    "Whoa! What does it have to do with Turkey?
  • 50:03 - 50:05
    Turkey's an ally!"
  • 50:05 - 50:07
    Well, it would be crazy
    for someone to come out and say,
  • 50:07 - 50:10
    "You know, you look at NATO..." (chuckles)
  • 50:10 - 50:12
    or, "A certain arm of NATO..."
  • 50:12 - 50:14
    Nobody would listen to this person.
  • 50:14 - 50:15
    Think about it!
  • 50:15 - 50:18
    A President
    -- ex-President of Italy --
  • 50:18 - 50:19
    can come out publicly
    and talk about Gladio,
  • 50:21 - 50:23
    and talk about some of the operatives,
    and talk about 9/11,
  • 50:25 - 50:28
    and it's not even mentioned!
  • 50:28 - 50:32
    How could two or three agents
    from the FBI...
  • 50:32 - 50:33
    you get a couple of people in Pentagon...
  • 50:33 - 50:35
    if they were to come out...
  • 50:35 - 50:37
    and they were to come out
    and tell people...
  • 50:37 - 50:40
    Let's say they are fearless, OK?
  • 50:40 - 50:42
    They say, "Execute me, put me in jail:
  • 50:42 - 50:45
    I'm gonna tell the Americans
    exactly what I know."
  • 50:45 - 50:48
    People would say, "He's crazy,"
    or, "She's crazy."
  • 50:48 - 50:52
    They... -- Americans,
    a lot of people in Europe --
  • 50:52 - 50:54
    they would not be willing
    to digest information
  • 50:54 - 50:57
    -- to them --
    that big.
  • 50:57 - 50:59
    But the answer, yet, is so simple.
  • 51:01 - 51:03
    (James) Well, let's spell this out for people.
  • 51:03 - 51:07
    Because you've talked
    about the Plan A of Gladio
  • 51:07 - 51:08
    -- which is more, I think,
  • 51:08 - 51:10
    what people understand Gladio
    to have been,
  • 51:10 - 51:12
    talking about the ultranationalists.
  • 51:12 - 51:15
    But moving into the Plan B era,
  • 51:15 - 51:19
    with the Islamization
    of the Central Asia and Caucasus,
  • 51:19 - 51:21
    and working with people like Zawahiri:
  • 51:21 - 51:23
    I guess the question
    a lot of people have is,
  • 51:23 - 51:24
    how is this Gladio?
  • 51:24 - 51:26
    Gladio was the stay-behind
    to counter the Soviet threat.
  • 51:28 - 51:29
    So the idea is, well,
  • 51:31 - 51:32
    after the Soviet threat is gone,
    what is Gladio's purpose?
  • 51:32 - 51:35
    So I guess the question is,
    well, what is Plan B?
  • 51:35 - 51:38
    What is it actually attempting to achieve?
  • 51:38 - 51:40
    I think we've gotten
    some indication with that:
  • 51:40 - 51:42
    for example, the Azerbaijani example,
  • 51:42 - 51:44
    trying to move the Azerbaijani government
    into the US stable.
  • 51:44 - 51:46
    But are there other examples?
  • 51:46 - 51:48
    How is this actually being used?
  • 51:48 - 51:50
    And what is its purpose at this point?
  • 51:52 - 51:55
    (Sibel) OK, First, the fact
  • 51:55 - 51:57
    that even though
    the term "stay behind" applies,
  • 51:57 - 51:59
    they are ex--... they're very proactive.
  • 51:59 - 52:02
    This is... think about this:
  • 52:02 - 52:05
    A lot of people say,
    "OK, Cold War, then, was over, in 1991."
  • 52:05 - 52:07
    Cold War was never over;
    it is not... it still continues.
  • 52:10 - 52:15
    The war over resources continues.
  • 52:15 - 52:19
    Not only that it did not end in 1990:
  • 52:19 - 52:22
    it actually accelerated, OK?
  • 52:22 - 52:26
    A lot of emphasis, attention today
    is on Middle East.
  • 52:26 - 52:28
    Why? Middle East oil, right?
  • 52:29 - 52:31
    In less than a couple of decades,
  • 52:31 - 52:33
    the next Middle East we're gonna be seeing
  • 52:33 - 52:35
    is going to be Central Asia.
  • 52:35 - 52:38
    Much worse, much bloodier,
    with much worse ethnic divisions.
  • 52:42 - 52:45
    Divisiveness and conflicts there.
  • 52:45 - 52:47
    Because the amount of
    natural resources
    they have
  • 52:47 - 52:51
    -- whether it's in oil, or gas,
    or minerals --
  • 52:51 - 52:55
    it's... because it's
    towards the end of it,
  • 52:55 - 52:57
    what we see in Middle East:
    they are almost done with...
  • 52:57 - 53:00
    OK: you still have the unexplored regions
  • 53:00 - 53:01
    within the Caspian Basin;
    you still have Iran, yeah.
  • 53:03 - 53:05
    But the ultimate prize has always been
    Central Asia and Caucasus.
  • 53:08 - 53:10
    If you go back to Brzezinski,
  • 53:10 - 53:13
    if you go back to the old doctrine,
  • 53:13 - 53:15
    you would see that it's that Eurasia,
  • 53:15 - 53:17
    It's not... Middle East is the past.
  • 53:17 - 53:19
    It's over: it's the finished chapter.
  • 53:19 - 53:22
    A lot... they like what they are seeing:
  • 53:22 - 53:24
    people -- we -- are stuck by watching,
  • 53:24 - 53:26
    observing Middle East,
  • 53:26 - 53:29
    and nobody's paying attention
    what is happening,
  • 53:29 - 53:31
    how the countries are being set up
  • 53:31 - 53:33
    in Central Asia and Caucasus.
  • 53:33 - 53:35
    How we are already setting up
  • 53:35 - 53:38
    the religious factions there.
  • 53:38 - 53:39
    How we are setting up
  • 53:39 - 53:41
    the ethnic conflicts there.
  • 53:41 - 53:45
    You need to do this pre-preparation
  • 53:45 - 53:49
    for the coming assault
    that's going for it.
  • 53:49 - 53:52
    It doesn't happen overnight, you know?
  • 53:52 - 53:54
    People are looking... Mubarak!
  • 53:54 - 53:56
    I remember, 1980, 1981:
  • 53:56 - 54:00
    I remember how it was discussed
    in Iran, in Turkey,
  • 54:00 - 54:02
    of who killed Anwar Sadat?
  • 54:02 - 54:06
    It was... the biggest thing was,
    it was Mubarak.
  • 54:06 - 54:09
    Who wanted Mubarak to implement that?
  • 54:09 - 54:11
    It was always the United States.
  • 54:11 - 54:12
    So... but today it's like,
  • 54:12 - 54:16
    "Oh yeah, this big bad guy Mubarak,
    he's in jail."
  • 54:16 - 54:18
    It's... they don't know the context.
  • 54:19 - 54:22
    They are currently -- people --
    missing the context
  • 54:22 - 54:23
    of what we are doing.
  • 54:23 - 54:26
    9/11 happens, OK? 9/11 happens.
  • 54:26 - 54:30
    We say -- our government says --
    "Our partners did it!"
  • 54:30 - 54:33
    "While we were working with them,
    carrying [out] joint operations"
  • 54:33 - 54:36
    "all over the place in Central Asia
    and Caucasus,"
  • 54:36 - 54:39
    "they turned around and
    they did this to us!"
  • 54:39 - 54:43
    It's... as I said: I said it
    seems complicated,
  • 54:43 - 54:47
    it's too big to digest;
    yet it's extremely simple.
  • 54:47 - 54:49
    And simplicity doesn't matter:
  • 54:49 - 54:51
    p eople don't want to digest,
  • 54:51 - 54:53
    no matter how simple it is.
  • 54:53 - 54:54
    Our partners...
  • 54:54 - 54:57
    -- look, we are partnering up in Syria:
    it's nothing --
  • 54:57 - 54:59
    I'm talking about real partnership.
  • 54:59 - 55:02
    Operations carried out over resources,
  • 55:02 - 55:05
    trying to get these ex-Soviet blocs
    on our side
  • 55:05 - 55:07
    so they won't be on Russia's side.
  • 55:07 - 55:09
    So they won't be on China's side.
  • 55:09 - 55:11
    Because, hey: "Communist China."
  • 55:11 - 55:16
    "Muslims should side with America,
    because Islam works in our benefit."
  • 55:16 - 55:21
    "What do we have to get these people
    through our proxy, Turkish NATO?"
  • 55:21 - 55:21
    Islam!
  • 55:21 - 55:24
    As long as they become fanatics,
  • 55:24 - 55:27
    as long as they're attached to Islam,
    they're gonna say pooh-pooh
  • 55:27 - 55:30
    to China and Russia.
    They're gonna side with us.
  • 55:30 - 55:32
    What happened in Afghanistan?
  • 55:32 - 55:34
    It was Islam. It's always been.
  • 55:34 - 55:40
    It's been the oldest trick for the UK.
    It's been the number one big game:
  • 55:40 - 55:43
    it's played in the name of religion.
  • 55:43 - 55:45
    You use Islam to get what you want!
  • 55:45 - 55:49
    And I'm just amazed. I'm opening
    newspapers...
  • 55:49 - 55:51
    I don't actually open newspapers
    anymore.
  • 55:51 - 55:54
    I open them on my computer.
    But I still do this motion.
  • 55:54 - 55:56
    I don't buy newspapers;
  • 55:56 - 55:58
    but, count: how many times
  • 55:58 - 56:01
    do you see the word "Islam"
    and "Islamists?"
  • 56:01 - 56:03
    "Islamists carried out this;
    Islamists did that;"
  • 56:03 - 56:06
    "Islamists... and this Islamist faction;
    Islamists..."
  • 56:07 - 56:11
    If you look at some of the conflicts
    with India and Pakistan, you don't see,
  • 56:11 - 56:14
    "Buddhists! Buddhists did that!" "The
    Buddhists..." You don't see,
  • 56:14 - 56:18
    "Buddhists did this." It's a particular
    group; but it's Islamists!
  • 56:19 - 56:21
    (James): Absolutely right.
    (Sibel): So... but these Islamists...
  • 56:21 - 56:24
    I mean, we see the absolute
    Islamization of the area
  • 56:24 - 56:26
    and the 350 madrasas
  • 56:26 - 56:29
    that Gülen has put into that region.
  • 56:29 - 56:33
    And with the English teachers being
    sent over with diplomatic passports,
  • 56:33 - 56:35
    it all lines up exactly as you're saying.
  • 56:35 - 56:37
    But there's another huge piece
    of this puzzle
  • 56:37 - 56:41
    that we haven't even touched on yet,
    and that's the drug-running:
  • 56:41 - 56:44
    which, of course, is absolutely central
    to a lot of the geostrategy of the region.
  • 56:44 - 56:47
    And of course, Turkey:
    absolutely important
  • 56:47 - 56:49
    in terms of smuggling
    for the heroin routes.
  • 56:49 - 56:52
    A lot of money rests on this.
  • 56:52 - 56:55
    This is such a huge backbone of the
    international economy. And of course,
  • 56:55 - 56:59
    that's one of the things that we're not
    allowed to ever talk about
  • 56:59 - 57:01
    or broach in the mainstream media,
  • 57:01 - 57:03
    because it is so central
    to what's happening there.
  • 57:04 - 57:08
    So how does this fit in? Who are the
    main players, and where do they fit
  • 57:08 - 57:11
    into this network that's been created?
  • 57:14 - 57:17
    Sure. First of all,
  • 57:17 - 57:20
    I have to first say: I know
    the information I know
  • 57:20 - 57:24
    both through the work I did during a
    short period of time with the FBI
  • 57:24 - 57:28
    that involved the top Turkish operators
    and movements of heroin
  • 57:28 - 57:32
    -- and this is before 9/11 until
    a few months after 9/11 --
  • 57:32 - 57:34
    but also my own research;
  • 57:34 - 57:36
    but also my own contacts and
    sources in Turkey.
  • 57:36 - 57:40
    But as far as my work during my work
    with the FBI goes
  • 57:40 - 57:45
    and the information that by default we
    gathered, because some of these
  • 57:45 - 57:49
    Turkish actors under investigations who
    were being monitored,
  • 57:49 - 57:53
    they were the major players with
    bringing in heroin.
  • 57:53 - 57:55
    And it was, again, done
    -- believe me or not --
  • 57:55 - 58:00
    it's like, "OK, Turkey, Eastern Europe:"
    Nobody ever mentions the role
  • 58:00 - 58:06
    and the strategic importance of Brussels!
    Brussels is extremely important in the
  • 58:06 - 58:11
    transportation and in the distribution of
    heroin, but nobody would
  • 58:11 - 58:15
    want to think about... [scoffs] "Brussels?
    European country? Belgium?"
  • 58:15 - 58:16
    "It just doesn't fit."
  • 58:16 - 58:20
    "We need to find countries
    like Pakistan and Turkey:"
  • 58:20 - 58:22
    "Yeah, Midnight Express!
    That makes sense."
  • 58:22 - 58:26
    " But UK? Belgium? That's not...
    that doesn't."
  • 58:26 - 58:30
    But one false information that
    is being put [out]
  • 58:30 - 58:31
    -- that I have to correct here --
  • 58:31 - 58:38
    by people is: "Taliban ended the opium
    production, the poppies production,"
  • 58:38 - 58:41
    and that after 9/11 it started.
  • 58:41 - 58:43
    Of course, after 9/11 it went from
    $5 billion worth,
  • 58:43 - 58:47
    or $1 billion dollar worth, to $50,
    $100 billion:
  • 58:47 - 58:48
    increased tremendously.
  • 58:48 - 58:51
    But they never ceased producing.
  • 58:51 - 58:53
    And I know this first-hand;
  • 58:53 - 58:56
    and I know this through my work
    with the FBI.
  • 58:56 - 58:58
    It is a known thing: they still did.
  • 58:58 - 59:00
    It was nothing like to this extent,
  • 59:00 - 59:03
    to the scale that it is today,
  • 59:03 - 59:06
    the production of the opium and heroin;
  • 59:06 - 59:07
    but it was there.
  • 59:07 - 59:10
    However, until 9/11,
  • 59:12 - 59:14
    the majority of that operation
  • 59:14 - 59:17
    -- and again, it was nothing compared
    to what it is today --
  • 59:17 - 59:21
    the biggest share was actually
    carried out...
  • 59:21 - 59:23
    -- both operations, taking it
    to the labs --
  • 59:23 - 59:25
    by the Russians.
  • 59:25 - 59:28
    If I were to throw a number,
  • 59:28 - 59:31
    I would say it was... 70 to 80 percent
  • 59:31 - 59:34
    was under Russian control in 1990s.
  • 59:34 - 59:36
    It was Russian mafiya,
  • 59:36 - 59:38
    certain Russian military elements,
  • 59:38 - 59:40
    certain Russian intelligence elements.
  • 59:40 - 59:44
    they created, they had a lot of network
    put in place,
  • 59:44 - 59:47
    even after they got out of Afghanistan,
  • 59:47 - 59:48
    and they continued that.
  • 59:48 - 59:51
    And something around...
    -- again, don't quote me on the number --
  • 59:51 - 59:55
    if I were to throw a number, I would say
    somewhere around 20 percent
  • 59:55 - 60:02
    was being smuggled through porous
    borders region into Iran,
  • 60:02 - 60:04
    from Iran into Turkey,
  • 60:04 - 60:06
    some of them through Turkey...
  • 60:06 - 60:08
    Kurdish couriers into Iraq,
  • 60:08 - 60:09
    from Iraq to Turkey
  • 60:09 - 60:11
    where the lab processed it.
  • 60:11 - 60:13
    But, it was 20 to 80.
  • 60:13 - 60:19
    Now, that turned completely opposite
    after 9/11.
  • 60:19 - 60:23
    We, the West, via Turkey...
  • 60:23 - 60:26
    -- Albanians and Turks --
  • 60:26 - 60:27
    the West became...
  • 60:27 - 60:31
    -- and this is the number one actor at
    the top, being NATO --
  • 60:31 - 60:33
    the biggest shareholder,
  • 60:33 - 60:36
    the top people in this operation
  • 60:36 - 60:37
    that now you are seeing
  • 60:37 - 60:40
    $50, $100, $500 billion: pick your number.
  • 60:40 - 60:42
    And the Russians' share decreased,
    and decreased,
  • 60:42 - 60:46
    and decreased, and decreased
    -- to almost nothing.
  • 60:46 - 60:47
    I mean, they still have some,
  • 60:47 - 60:49
    there are some Russian...
    but it's nothing.
  • 60:49 - 60:52
    And that's why, again, this was...
  • 60:52 - 60:56
    this is fact,
    this is solid data pouring in:
  • 60:56 - 61:00
    who were the actors, how much of the
    share it was, and how much it is now.
  • 61:00 - 61:02
    This is why I wonder sometimes why
    Russia screams and says,
  • 61:02 - 61:06
    "All this heroin comes into Russia, and
    we want to be part of this"
  • 61:06 - 61:10
    "eradication program that has increased
    the poppy production into..."
  • 61:10 - 61:14
    whatever, $50 billion. I guess
    we call it, now, "eradication,"
  • 61:14 - 61:18
    increasing the production.
    I'm like, "maybe it's a code language!"
  • 61:18 - 61:20
    Russia says, "We want in on this!"
  • 61:20 - 61:23
    And maybe to pacify Russia we say,
  • 61:23 - 61:26
    "Yeah, we are eradicating, and the
    production is going up."
  • 61:26 - 61:28
    "Come, we'll give you another 10 percent."
  • 61:28 - 61:30
    "Help us 'eradicate.'"
  • 61:30 - 61:32
    In quotes: "eradicate" poppies.
  • 61:32 - 61:37
    So, that's for the heroin portion of it.
  • 61:37 - 61:39
    And while we are at this,
  • 61:39 - 61:41
    on this topic of Russia...
  • 61:41 - 61:44
    -- and I want to mention this,
    and I find this mind-boggling --
  • 61:44 - 61:47
    the... our operations
  • 61:47 - 61:52
    -- Gladio operations; US, NATO via
    these Turkish paramilitary groups...
  • 61:52 - 61:55
    and later via the Islamist groups --
  • 61:55 - 61:57
    a lot of it had to do with
  • 61:57 - 61:59
    what we were doing with the Chechens
  • 61:59 - 62:01
    and the Chechen movement
    in the Chechnya
  • 62:01 - 62:03
    carrying out terror attacks in Russia.
  • 62:03 - 62:05
    A lot of it within Russian borders.
  • 62:06 - 62:10
    Now... then we're going
    to get into Ergenekon.
  • 62:10 - 62:12
    And I don't know how much
    time we have;
  • 62:12 - 62:14
    it may be part two for this interview.
  • 62:15 - 62:18
    Because a lot of these former
  • 62:18 - 62:20
    ultranationalist fascist militaries
  • 62:20 - 62:23
    who used to fight Russia
  • 62:23 - 62:26
    or counter the Soviets on Gladio's side,
  • 62:26 - 62:29
    after they were, basically, thrown out,
  • 62:30 - 62:32
    started being assassinated.
  • 62:32 - 62:35
    They were thrown out by NATO
    and they lost their protection;
  • 62:35 - 62:39
    and these are the military fascists
    in Turkey. The ones who survived,
  • 62:39 - 62:43
    they had to get themselves to Russia.
    And they defected to Russia.
  • 62:43 - 62:46
    They went and they sought political
    asylums. You will see
  • 62:46 - 62:52
    several Turkish generals who've been
    in Russia in the past three or four years.
  • 62:52 - 62:54
    With all the trials against the
    Turkish generals,
  • 62:54 - 62:56
    Ergenekon in Turkey,
  • 62:56 - 62:58
    and with some of these people
  • 62:58 - 63:00
    being assassinated mysteriously,
  • 63:00 - 63:03
    including some of the
    paramilitary groups.
  • 63:03 - 63:06
    In order to defect, in order to get the
    asylum; in order to settle
  • 63:06 - 63:09
    and get the Russian
    government's protection,
  • 63:09 - 63:10
    of course, they have to give
  • 63:10 - 63:12
    -- I'm sure, I'm certain --
  • 63:12 - 63:14
    a lot of information
  • 63:14 - 63:22
    to the Russian government and to FSB.
    And even in late 1990s, as they were
  • 63:22 - 63:26
    -- the Russian forces there --
    as they were capturing and killing
  • 63:26 - 63:29
    some of these terrorists
    -- their terrorists --
  • 63:29 - 63:30
    they were confiscating passports
  • 63:30 - 63:33
    -- diplomatic passports, Turkish
    passports --
  • 63:33 - 63:36
    from so-called "Chechens"
    who'd either received training in Turkey
  • 63:36 - 63:40
    or actually these were part of the
    Turkish military/paramilitary groups
  • 63:40 - 63:44
    fighting and leading Chechens inside
    Russia to carry out terror attacks.
  • 63:44 - 63:46
    And the mystery remains that:
  • 63:46 - 63:51
    why Russia has remained so quiet
    and silent on this?
  • 63:51 - 63:56
    And what is the game there? Or is this
    actually a game-changer? I don't know.
  • 63:56 - 64:00
    (James): And that's an extremely
    important point in all of this
    (Sibel): I don't know the answer.
  • 64:00 - 64:04
    Because this goes right into this
    geostrategy surrounding the greater
  • 64:04 - 64:07
    conflict that's going on right now.
    This, of course, touches on China
  • 64:07 - 64:10
    -- with [East] Turkestan, or Xinjiang --
  • 64:10 - 64:14
    and Russia and its share in the heroin
    trade. This goes right to the heart
  • 64:14 - 64:20
    of that greater geopolitical conflict we
    see shaping up. So I certainly hope
  • 64:20 - 64:23
    that we can get a second part of this
    interview, because this is absolutely,
  • 64:23 - 64:27
    truly fascinating stuff; but we've already
    been talking for an hour, and we've laid
  • 64:27 - 64:31
    a lot of information out on the table
    already today. So perhaps we can have
  • 64:31 - 64:34
    a second part to this interview; and if
    there are listeners out there
  • 64:34 - 64:37
    with some questions or comments
    that they want to make,
  • 64:37 - 64:40
    they can send that to me, and
    I will bring that
  • 64:40 - 64:44
    into our second conversation on this.
    But for now, thinking about
  • 64:44 - 64:47
    what we've talked about so far:
    -- we've covered, again, a lot of ground --
  • 64:47 - 64:50
    Is there anything you'd like to say
    to sort of wrap up
  • 64:50 - 64:52
    what we've talked about today,
    or the situation...
  • 64:52 - 64:53
    Yes
  • 64:53 - 64:56
    ...that some of these actors are in today,
    like Fethullah Gülen?
  • 64:58 - 65:01
    Yeah. One last thing I have...
    and I'm gonna get into those,
  • 65:01 - 65:04
    -- because they get to be
    really deep topics --
  • 65:04 - 65:09
    on our next... during our next interviews.
    But I have been asked by some sources,
  • 65:09 - 65:12
    some people, to go to Russia to meet
    with some of these people
  • 65:13 - 65:15
    And I know that there are people
  • 65:15 - 65:19
    -- both in Turkey, but also in Russia --
  • 65:19 - 65:22
    who have some
    very important documents,
  • 65:22 - 65:25
    and they have some very
    important information
  • 65:25 - 65:28
    that they have tried to get to me
    in person, but they can't.
  • 65:28 - 65:31
    Now I know, hopefully,
  • 65:31 - 65:33
    that some of this will get to them,
  • 65:33 - 65:36
    and it would be good for them to know
  • 65:36 - 65:37
    that there are people,
  • 65:37 - 65:39
    there are journalists outside
    the United States,
  • 65:39 - 65:41
    outside me that they can trust
  • 65:41 - 65:44
    and they can contact.
    They can be interviewed.
  • 65:44 - 65:47
    If they don't wish to be interviewed,
    they can send information.
  • 65:47 - 65:52
    There are ways. You can do it through
    encrypted way
  • 65:52 - 65:54
    -- I don't know how much you can
    trust that --
  • 65:54 - 66:00
    but... or documents can come
    through "6-7-7-7-8-10 STOP"
  • 66:00 - 66:04
    But I want them to know that it is good
    to have other sources
  • 66:04 - 66:07
    outside the US who are
    tackling these issues;
  • 66:07 - 66:10
    and they can reach out
  • 66:10 - 66:12
    to journalists like James Corbett
  • 66:12 - 66:16
    -- and knowing that this information
    would get out.
  • 66:17 - 66:20
    And again, those people in Russia:
  • 66:20 - 66:22
    I hope some of you are watching this,
  • 66:22 - 66:25
    and I hope some of you will help us
  • 66:25 - 66:31
    to peel off more layers of this operation.
  • 66:31 - 66:34
    Absolutely. Well, again, we've talked
    about so much already today,
  • 66:34 - 66:37
    and there's a lot of information
    for people to digest.
  • 66:37 - 66:40
    So I will include in the links,
  • 66:40 - 66:42
    in the show notes for this interview,
  • 66:42 - 66:46
    some of the links to some of the articles
    that you've written on Boiling Frogs Post
  • 66:46 - 66:49
    surrounding some of these topics, and
    some of the other articles that other
  • 66:49 - 66:53
    people have written, so that people can
    start delving into this in a little bit more,
  • 66:53 - 66:57
    deeper detail. And I will be putting out
    a podcast episode that will encapsulate
  • 66:57 - 66:59
    at least some of what we've
    talked about today
  • 66:59 - 67:01
    -- and with Tom Secker last week --
  • 67:01 - 67:04
    this Friday. So people can look
    forward to that.
  • 67:04 - 67:07
    On that note, I think we will wrap this
    conversation up here.
  • 67:07 - 67:09
    Again, we have been talking for
    quite a while already.
  • 67:09 - 67:12
    So Sibel, thank you so much
    for laying this out for us today,
  • 67:12 - 67:17
    and I'm very much looking forward
    to our next conversation.
  • 67:19 - 67:21
    And thank you for tackling this,
  • 67:21 - 67:24
    this topic, which is extremely important.
  • 67:24 - 67:28
    In my prelude, I called it the "master key"
  • 67:28 - 67:31
    to understanding a lot of things,
    including 9/11.
  • 67:31 - 67:33
    and I'm glad you're holding that key.
  • 67:33 - 67:35
    Thank you.
  • 67:35 - 67:35
    Thank you.
