The congresswoman and the Turkish Lobby sexual blackmail ring

(WMR) -- WMR previously reported that Representative Jan Schakowsky (D-IL), a close ally of President Barack Obama and his chief of staff, former Representative Rahm Emanuel, who, like Schakowsky, represented a Chicago district, was sexually blackmailed by a lesbian prostitute who worked for the American Turkish Council (ATC).
The ATC and its affiliated Turkish government lobbying organizations were cited by former FBI translator Sibel Edmonds in her deposition in an Ohio Election Commission complaint filed by Representative Jean Schmidt (R-OH) against her 2008 opponent, David Krikorian, over statements by Krikorian that Schmidt received financial support from the Turkish lobby in the United States.
WMR has received additional confirmation from a high-level congressional source that Schakowsky regularly engaged in a lesbian sexual tryst at a Washington, DC, townhouse with a female employee of the ATC. WMR previously reported that law enforcement sources told us that the tryst location was bugged by a Turkish surveillance team that recorded the encounters. The recordings were later used to blackmail Schakowsky into backing away from supporting Armenian genocide resolution initiatives in the House. The surveillance operation was so complex, a second surveillance team monitored the primary team to ensure the bugging devices were properly installed before what the FBI called the �hooking process� commenced.
The latest information received by WMR appears to indicate that Hastert was well aware of the sexual blackmail by Turkish intelligence agents being used against Schakowsky and that he approved of it.
The House member who was contacted by the journalist later told the journalist that Schakowsky had been contacted and that �she seemed to understand the issue and was quite upset about it,� adding she �tried to get in with the leadership.� The journalist, who is supportive of Israeli policies, never revealed Schakowsky�s name but appeared to be involved in a fishing expedition to see what other members of the House knew about Schakowsky�s situation at the time.
The member was appalled at Schakowsky�s explanation because the member considered her to be a �soul mate� on issues ranging from opposition to the Iraq war -- Schakowsky had opposed the Iraq War Resolution -- to private military contractors and U.S. Israeli policy. Schakowsky was a founding member of the Out-of-Iraq Caucus.
The member stated that after the encounter over the �lesbian� issue, Schakowsky �went quiet� on all her signature issues, including her vocal opposition to the role of private military contractors, adding that she became very hawkish in support of Israel.
The member felt that Schakowsky was �set up� by the Turkish Lobby, working in concert with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), to �control her.� The member also said that Schakowsky noticeably �backed off� many issues, including the role of private military companies.

From a related article about Sibel Edmonds' deposition:

The Turkish operations also involved the U.S. corporate media, which was pressured by the Turkish organizations not to cover the Armenian genocide issue.
The identity of a yet unnamed (by Edmonds) House member was not revealed during the deposition. However, the Wayne Madson Report has learned from another informed source that it is Representative Jan Schakowsky (D-IL), a strong supporter of AIPAC and Israel and a close political ally of President Obama and his chief of staff Rahm Emanuel.
The first sexual encounter between Schakowsky and the Turkish lesbian prostitute reportedly occurred at a vulnerable time for Schakowsky, just after her mother's death. The first sexual encounter was followed by numerous others, according to U.S. law enforcement sources. |

Her mother had just died. Apparently, there are no depths which will not be stooped to. Now we have an idea how our policies are made, or perhaps how unpopular ones are passed.
How many other such incidents occur which we never hear about? |

If true. I've never heard of Wayne Madsen before, but his web site does not inspire my trust.

| Perhaps, but it was confirmed (except for the Rep.'s name) by the other article to which I linked. |

| I think she should be sent to Copenhagen to push for Chicago's 2016 Olympic bid. If nothing else, it would show how 'diverse' the city actually is. |

Although I'm very pro-pornography, this secretly filming people having sex for blackmail goes beyond the pale, even by my low standards. Maybe an Islamic revolution in Turkey and Israel really would be a good thing for each country.  |

SIBEL EDMONDS: THE TRAITORS AMONG US
SIBEL EDMONDS HAS NAMED NAMES. WHY ISN�T THE MEDIA REPORTING THE STORY?
by Brad Friedman
for HUSTLER MAGAZINE � March 2010
SIBEL EDMONDS, a former FBI translator, claims that the following government officials have committed what amount to acts of treason. They are lawmakers Dennis Hastert, Bob Livingston, Dan Burton, Roy Blunt, Stephen Solarz and Tom Lantos, as well as at least three members of George W. Bush�s inner circle: Douglas Feith, Paul Wolfowitz and Marc Grossman. But is Sibel Edmonds credible?
�Absolutely, she�s credible,� Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) told CBS�s 60 Minutes when he was asked about her in 2002. �The reason I feel she�s very credible is because people within the FBI have corroborated a lot of her story.� Edmonds�s remarkable allegations of bribery, blackmail, infiltration of the U.S. government and the theft of nuclear secrets by foreign allies and enemies alike rocked the Bush Administration. In fact, Bush and company actually prevented Edmonds from telling the American people what she knew�up until now.
...
But they couldn�t �work something out with Sibel� because, it seems, she wasn�t looking to make a deal. Edmonds says she was looking to expose what she believed to be the ugly truth about the infiltration of the U.S. government by foreign spies. They were enabled, Edmonds claimed, by high-ranking U.S. officials and insider moles planted at nuclear weapons facilities around the nation.
...
Edmonds testified that Congressman Dennis Hastert (R-Illinois), a former Speaker of the House, was involved in �several categories� of corruption on behalf of Turkish agents, according to information she claims to have heard while translating and analyzing FBI counterintelligence wiretaps recorded from 1996 through 2002. She mentioned his �acceptance of large sums of bribery in forms of cash or laundered cash� coupled with the ability �to do certain favors�make certain things happen for� [the] Turkish government�s interest.�
Edmonds also alleged, on the public record, Hastert�s use of a �townhouse that was not his residence for certain not very morally accepted activities� and said that �foreign entities knew about this. In fact, they sometimes participated in some of those�activities in that particular townhouse.�
The allegations against Hastert include accepting some half-million dollars in bribes. While several FBI sources have corroborated Edmonds�s account
...
Former Congressman Bob Livingston (RLouisiana), who was set to become Speaker prior to Hastert until evidence of a sexual affair was revealed by Larry Flynt, was described in Edmonds�s deposition as having participated in �not very legal activities on behalf of foreign interests� before leaving office in 1999. Afterward, she said, Livingston acted �as a conduit to�further foreign interests, both overtly and covertly,� and also became both a lobbyist and �an operative� representing Turkish interests.
According to Edmonds, Representative Roy Blunt (R-Missouri)�likely to run for a U.S. Senate seat in 2010�was �the recipient of both legally and illegally raised�campaign donations from�Turkish entities.�
Edmonds also claimed that hard-right Representative Dan Burton (R-Indiana), who was instrumental in the impeachment of President Bill Clinton, carried out �extremely illegal activities� and covert operations that were �against the United States citizens� and �against the United States� interests.�
Edmonds named allegedly traitorous Democrats too. She said that former New York Congressman Stephen Solarz, now also a lobbyist, �acted as conduit to deliver or launder contributions and other bribe[s, including blackmail] to certain members of Congress.� And, according to Edmonds, the late Congressman Tom Lantos (D-California) was said to have been involved in �not only�bribe[ry], but also�disclosing [the] highest level protected U.S. intelligence and weapons technology information both to Israel and to Turkey [and] other very serious criminal conduct.�
The most overtly salacious of the allegations involved Representative Jan Schakowsky (D-Illinois), who is �married with�grown children, but she is bisexual,� according to Edmonds. The FBI whistleblower described how Schakowsky was �hooked� by Turkish agents into having a lesbian �sexual relationship with one of their spies,� and �the entire episodes of their sexual conduct was being filmed because the entire house�was bugged�to be used for certain things that they wanted to request.�
...
Edmonds�s most disturbing allegations, however, may be against high-ranking appointed officials in the Bush Administration. Elaborating on testimony she laid out in her sworn deposition, Edmonds told American Conservative magazine�s Phil Giraldi�a 17-year CIA counterterrorism officer�very specific details of alleged traitorous schemes perpetrated by top State and Defense Department officials. As already noted, these included Douglas Feith, Paul Wolfowitz and, perhaps most notably, former Deputy Undersecretary of State Marc Grossman, the third-highest-ranking official in the Bush State Department.
Edmonds said that Feith and Wolfowitz were involved in plans to break Iraq into U.S. and British protectorates months prior to 9/11. She also claimed that the duo shared information with Grossman on how to blackmail various officials and that Grossman had accepted cash to help procure and sell nuclear weapons technology to Israel and Turkey�and, from there, on to the foreign black market. There the technology would be purchased by the highest bidder, such as Pakistan, Iran, Libya, North Korea or possibly even al-Qaeda.
Additionally, Edmonds claimed that Grossman, the U.S. Ambassador to Turkey before taking his State Department post, had tipped off Turkish diplomats to the true identity of covert CIA operative Valerie Plame Wilson�s front company, Brewster Jennings & Associates, a full three years prior to their being publicly outed by columnist Robert Novak. That in itself, according to George H.W. Bush, would be an act of treason carried out by �the most insidious of traitors.�
Former CIA counterterrorism officer Giraldi summed up Edmonds�s disclosures to me in blunt terms: �This was a massive coordinated espionage effort directed against United States nuclear secrets engineered by foreign agents who successfully corrupted senior government officials and legislators in our Congress. It�s that simple.�
...
So why, exactly, isn�t the media covering Sibel Edmonds, whom the ACLU once described as �the most gagged person in the history of the U.S.,� now that she is finally able to tell her story? It�s a story, after all, that the legendary 1970s whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg has deemed �far more explosive than the Pentagon Papers.�

The Sibel Edmonnds stuff is huge. Here is what Mike Levine says about here:
| Quote: |
| Sibel Edmonds worked as a language specialist for the FBI�s Washington Field Office. During her work with the bureau, she discovered and reported serious acts of security breaches, cover-ups, and intentional blocking of intelligence that had national security implications. After she reported these acts to FBI management, she was retaliated against by the FBI and ultimately fired in March 2002. Since that time, court proceedings on her issues have been blocked by the assertion of �State Secret Privilege� by Attorney General Ashcroft; the Congress of the United States has been gagged and prevented from any discussion of her case through retroactive re-classification by the Department of Justice. Ms. Edmonds is fluent in Turkish, Farsi and Azerbaijani; and has a MA in Public Policy and International Commerce from George Mason University, and a BA in Criminal Justice and Psychology from George Washington University. PEN American Center awarded Ms. Edmonds the 2006 PEN/Newman's Own First Amendment Award for her "commitment to preserving the free flow of information in the United States in a time of growing international isolation and increasing government secrecy". |
Unfortunately, you must be a member to hear the archived shows, but it is well worth it. She has been a guest three times, including about the House of Death case.
| Quote: |
The House of Death is the story of how an informant for Homeland Security, working "undercover" under the direct control of a Bush appointed United States Attorney, operated a macabre house of horrors in which more than a dozen people were tortured to death with the informant taking part. There have been a continuing series of articles at Narco News on the subject, reported by Bill Conroy, who has been a frequent guest.
Our guests are Sibel Edmonds, a courageous whistleblower who subsequently became the Director of the National Security Whistleblower's Coalition, and William Weaver who acts as Senior Advisor to the same organization. |
