For sale: West’s deadly nuclear secrets

A WHISTLEBLOWER has made a series of extraordinary claims about how corrupt government officials allowed Pakistan and other states to steal nuclear weapons secrets.

Sibel Edmonds, a 37-year-old former Turkish language translator for the FBI, listened into hundreds of sensitive intercepted conversations while based at the agency's Washington field office.

She approached The Sunday Times last month after reading about an Al-Qaeda terrorist who had revealed his role in training some of the 9/11 hijackers while he was in Turkey.

The Turks and Israelis had planted “moles” in military and academic institutions which handled nuclear technology. Edmonds says there were several transactions of nuclear material every month, with the Pakistanis being among the eventual buyers. “The network appeared to be obtaining information from every nuclear agency in the United States,” she said.

1. Three to ponder -

- if Turks and Israelis worked together to pirate or transact deals for nuclear secrets and supplies from the U.S. with the cooperation of certain people in the U.S. - and to have them sent or transacted through Pakistan to N Korea and Iran - doesn't it mean these Israelis and whoever they work for are traitors to the citizens of the U.S. if they worked on behalf of Israel - since we are led to believe that Israel doesn't want anyone over there getting nuclear weapons and that is why there are so many people employed in the persuasion of the U.S. to favor Israel?


- if Turks and Israelis worked with the Cheney and friends and Israel sanctioned it, doesn't it mean that we've been lied to - big time? We have always been told that Israel had the most number of nuclear bomb stock outside the U.S. and that they did not want Iran to have them and that they have been manipulating for years for the U.S. to attack Iran - for them? - as payment for_______? - so doesn't that mean that certain people in the world want perpetual war so that there will always be the profits from the sales circulating to certain people only?

- it seems the simple people of the world including us, especially us, are being taken for utterly stupid fools - to pay for the employment of scientists, government workers, research, manufacturing, storage, military guard - all - a grand gift of our labors (taken from our children) to give to these certain people who are the leaders, politicians, corporations (AND THEIR STOCKHOLDERS), and the barons everywhere, including royalty, dictators, pseudo Presidents, tribal leaders and kings, and perhaps the mullahs.

We were not asked to make a sacrifice for this current invasion and psychological pseudo patriotic call to their war - because maybe, just maybe they already knew we were already sacrificing enough - from our pocketbooks to theirs - big time! Don't laugh to loud.

Imagine, the little people of the world trying to raise kids, working several jobs, trying to get educated, trying to get enough roof over the head, and paying taxes to these plunderers, murderers, and torturers to finance their profit.
