Boston
bombers’ uncle married daughter of top CIA official
The uncle
of the two suspected Boston bombers in last week’s attack, Ruslan Tsarni, was
married to the daughter of former top CIA official
Graham Fuller
The discovery that Uncle Ruslan Tsarni had spy connections that go far deeper
than had been previously known is ironic, especially since the mainstrean
media's focus yesterday was on a feverish search to find who might have
recruited the Tsarnaev brothers.
The chief suspect was a red-haired Armenian exorcist. They were fingering a
suspect who may not, in fact, even exist.
It was like blaming one-armed hippies on acid for killing your wife.
Ruslan
Tsarni married the daughter of former top CIA official Graham Fuller, who
spent 20 years as operations officer in Turkey, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Yemen,
Afghanistan, and Hong Kong. In 1982 Fuller was appointed the National
Intelligence Officer for Near East and South Asia at the CIA, and in 1986,
under Ronald Reagan, he became the Vice-Chairman of the National Intelligence
Council, with overall responsibility for national level strategic forecasting.
At the time of their marriage, Ruslan Tsarni was known
as Ruslan Tsarnaev, the same last name as his nephews Tamerlan and Dzhokhar
Tsarnaev, the alleged bombers.
It is unknown when he changed his last name to Tsarni.
What is known is that sometime in the early 1990’s, while she was a graduate
student in North Carolina, and he was in law school at Duke, Ruslan Tsarnaev
met and married Samantha Ankara Fuller, the daughter of Graham and Prudence
Fuller of Rockville Maryland. Her middle name sugge-names-names-in-pictures.html" target="_blank"> was Graham Fuller.

On a more
ominous note, Graham Fuller was listed as one of the American Deep State rogues
on Sibel Edmonds' State Secrets Privilege Gallery,. Edmonds
explained it featured subjects of FBI investigations she became aware of during
her time as an FBI
translator.
Criminal activities were being protected by claims of State Secrets, she
asserted. After Attorney General John Ashcroft went all the way to the Supreme
Court to muzzle her under a little-used doctrine of State Secrets, she put up
twenty-one photos, with no names.
One of them was Graham Fuller.

A story
about a Chechen
oik exec/uncle pairing up with a top CIA official who once served as CIA
Station Chief in Kabul sounds like a pitch for a bad movie.
But the two men may have been in business together.
In 1995, Tsarnaev incorporated the Congress
of Chechen International Organizations in Maryland, using as the address
listed on incorporation documents 11114
Whisperwood Ln, in Rockville Maryland, the home address of his
then-father-in-law.
It is just eight miles up the Washington National Pike from the Montgomery
Village home where “Uncle Ruslan” met—and apparently wowed, the press after the
attack in Boston.
The Washington Post yesterday called him a "media maven," while nationally
syndicated Washington Post columnist Ester Cepeda , in a piece with the
headline “Attention all cars: Be on
lookout for chubby Armenian exorcist
Tsarni
described Misha to CNN as being "chubby, a big guy, big “Did 'Misha' influence Tsarnaevs? In Watertown, doubts,”
USA Today reported: “Misha. A new name has
emerged in the Boston Marathon bombing case—one familiar to the family of the
two young men accused of the atrocity and apparently of interest to the Russian
and American security services as well.”
Ruslan Tsarni was the first to bring up the supposed man's supposed name. Or
rather, he brought up a first name: Misha.
But it was enough. We were off to the races…
Attention all cars: Be on
lookout for chubby Armenian exorcist
Tsarni
described Misha to CNN as being "chubby, a big guy, big mouth presenting himself with some
kind of abilities as exorcist . . . having some part-time job
in one of tter
accs, not m hacked again?
No
performance was nearly as masterful, however, as that of the Associated Press.
“Bomb
suspect influenced by mysterious radical,” reported the
Associated Press.
"Tamerlan's relationship with Misha could be a clue in understanding the
motives beecember
2005. And Misha, if he existed, didn’t show up on the scene until 2008 at the
earliest.
Still, just a few days later, the entire family began chiming in. Misha
anecdotes were flying fast & furious, and the nation’s scribblers were busy
uncritically scribbling down their every word.
Maybe their Twitter
account got hacked again?
No
performance was nearly as masterful, however, as that of the Associated Press.
“Bomb
suspect influenced by mysterious radical,” reported the
Associated Press.
"Tamerlan's relationship with Misha could be a clue in understanding the
motives behind his religious transformation and, ultimately, the attack
itself," reported the Associate Press. Only to take it all back in the
very next line.
"Two U.S. officials say he had no tie to terrorist groups."
The AP’s “story” about the mysterious “Misha” was 1145 words, long enough for
an editor to squeeze in a caveat.
“It was not immediately clear whether the FBI has spoken to Misha or was
attempting to,” the national wire service reported. “Efforts over several days
by The Associated Press to identify and interview Misha have been
unsuccessful.”
The big difference: when you
do it, its conspiracy theory. When we do it, its informed speculation.
In
any other context, this might be seen as the rankest kind of “conspiracy
theory.” But, apparently, when the Associated Press does it, its news.
Then Uncle Ruslan made a clear mis-step.
“An uncle of the alleged bombers claims that Misha, an Armenian convert to
Islam, had a huge influence on the elder brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev. Describing
him as an "Armenia exorcist, Tsarni said, “Somehow he just took his
brain.”
Armenians are a deeply-rooted Christian community, which is proud of the fact
that their country was the first in the world to adopt Christianity as state
religion in 301 AD.
Moreover this is the week every year when they remember the Armenian Holocaust,
when as many as 1,000,000 Armenians were slaughtered by Turkish Muslims.
In the large and close-knit Boston Armenian community, a red-bearded Armenian
named Misha becoming a radicalized Muslim would stand out.
"I've never heard of him, nor has anyone that I know," Hilda
Avedissian, executive director at the Armenian Cultural & Educational
Centre.
So what if the guy was
involved with biggest bank fraud in history?
"For
an Armenian to convert to Islam is like finding a unicorn in a field,"
Nerses Zurabyan, 32, an information technology director who lives in nearby Cambridge told USA Today.
The report reveals that the bomber’s Uncle, made famous for his outspoken
condemnation of his nephew’s which aired repeatedly on international news
networks, is a well-connected oil executive who at one point worked for a
Halliburton shell company used as a front to obtain oil contracts from the
Kazakh State.
Ruslon Tsarni was implicated in an investigation involving the laundering and
theft of $6 billion. But everybody loves Uncle Ruslon. At least most of
America’s mainstream media does.
There has, to date, been no speculation at all about whether an uncle of the
men suspected of the bombing who had been involved in international intrigue at
the hightest levels, and who married the daughter of a top CIA official, might
warrant a closer look.
It’s enough, isn’t it, to turn even reasonably rational adults
into—gasp!—conspiracy theorists.
“News,” someone once wrote, “is selection. And selection is always based on an
ideology and agenda, which is something to remember next time you watch, listen
or read the ‘news.’”
Too true.
