Coincidence or another sign of a Sibel Edmonds/AIPAC coverup (by Google?)

[cascadiance]

Just got a google alert yesterday morning in my mail and a Sibel Edmonds hit turned up as follows:

Google Alert for: sibel edmonds
Threat to Public Grows With State Secrecy, Civil Libertarians ...
The NewStandard - Syracuse,NY,USA
... To public advocates, the case of Sibel Edmonds, a former FBI translator who was allegedly fired for exposing misconduct within the agency, has come to ...

Others get this alert too? You know what I'm speaking of then.

Going to this linked article at:

http://newstandardnews.net/content/index.cfm/items/1732

note that the date of it is April 22, 2005. Hmm... Why are "old" news links coming up in Google alert mails which should be for newer news just coming out, not something from last April? Going to Google's search page, and searching for it by date manually reveals nothing here.

Then I got to thinking. I've already noticed before and have been quoted in past threads on this board that I noticed that a "blackout" of news happened on Sibel Edmonds articles right on and shortly after Larry Franklin was arrested in what would become the AIPAC spy scandal. At the time there was nothing connecting Sibel Edmonds substantively to this case. It just seemed curious that all of a sudden google search hits would turn up nothing for a few weeks on her when that happened. In more recent interviews of course, Sibel makes it pretty clear that these cases ARE connected to hers, making this event more suspicious.

Now I go to look at when Larry Franklin was arrested. May 4, 2005... Hmmm!!! Though I noticed that the blackout happened more "after" his arrest, I wonder if this particular article was the first one that they might have "hidden" from their robot, and that by accident, somehow they "captured" this article for the first time yesterday as the new year flipped over and their script looked at dates differently, etc.

Is anyone else suspicious with this? Or is my tinfoil hat a bit too reflective this morning! I'm betting others out there also got this "confusing" Sibel Edmonds google alert mail this morning too.

I'm wondering if we should study this some more, and perhaps hand this tidbit over to others investigating this sort of thing now.

1. I have spent far too much time

researching AIPAC but not enough to come upon Sibel Edmonds anywhere.
I wouldnt be surprised though.

2. I think it's more of what *she* knows than what the AIPAC invest. has...

I think she probably has some critical info that would facilitate this investigation, which she's been gagged from talking about.

Like I've said before in the past, and I don't think it's been reported anywhere else, and I don't know how much one can verify it now, many months later, but there WAS a noticeable sudden dearth of web-based articles turning up in Google searches right around the time Franklin got arrested. I noticed this since I was frequently checking for news on her case, and was wondering why at the time all of a sudden there was NOTHING showing up in google searches for weeks. It seemed a bit too coincidental to me at the time, and with this happening yesterday, and her comments since then which indicate that these cases are connected, it really has me wondering if there's a snake hiding under a rock that the media (either mainstream or alternative) hasn't found yet.

I've not seen "old" articles pop up before in Google search alert hits, and it's curious that I got this (with this date) right now, right at the beginning of the year, when perhaps it showed up in their search script as being "new" (perhaps April of 2006 or something like that) and got pushed out to us by mistake. Perhaps before another similarly censored article got also pushed out in the alerts, they "fixed" this problem or something like that. Or perhaps because the fact that it was censored before Franklin's arrest instead of after, left it in a little "black hole" where their fixes for the other articles "after the arrest" might have been fixed (to not be sent out as "new news" later), and this one was missed because it was censored before that event. Who knows. Pure speculation on my part, but these coincidences sure call for some more substantive investigation I think.

3. I received the same alert

and was surprised to see it was an older article.

Frankly at this point I'm suspicious of a lot of things, especially when it comes to reporting on Sibel's case. There has been an across-the-board effort to ignore the whole story. As for Google, we'll probably never know.

5. Well, I forwarded my suspicions to Sibel...

So hopefully, if knowing what she knows, she feels there is substance to those suspicions, she'll alert people that can do the right thing to weed them out for us. This sort of coverup can't be "gagged". As has happened in the past, it often isn't the crime itself that gets people in trouble, but the coverup... But like you said, perhaps we'll never know... Just one more item to add to the potential conspiracy item list.

4. I think I heard she will be Chris Matthew's guest

on tonight's program. I must tune in.

6. Thanks for the note... I'll try and tune in too.

7. No, Christine Rowley is his guest

Still good reason to tune in. :D

8. Would that be Colleen Rowley?

Not sure if that was who you meant. I'd be interested in hearing Colleen! Don't know a Christine Rowley though... It would be good to hear a fellow Univ. of Iowa graduate talk too. Especially when Iowa grads had to endure their own conspiracy yesterday by either incompetent or corrupt referees in the Outback Bowl yesterday! :mad: Maybe she can sic the FBI on them! :)

Colleen does seem a little less one to avoid by the MSM like Chris Matthews than Sibel is though, so it doesn't surprise me. Colleen was the one that got the Time person of the year a couple of years ago as one of the "whistleblowers" that received that award. Should have had Sibel in that award as well!
