Ex CIA Graham Fuller connected to Gulen, is father in law of Boston Bomber's Uncle Ruslan Tsarni


Graham Fuller: Edmonds’ State Secrets Privilege, FBI Gladio-B Target, Handler-Sponsor of Turkey’s Imam Gulen

 
Ex CIA operative Graham Fuller who was one of the American officials who sent letters to Homeland Security
insuring that Imam Fethullah Gulen would not be denied his green card again.   
 
 
A major break in the Boston Terror CIA Connection took place last night when I came across a post outing CIA Operative Graham Fuller as the father of the woman married to Boston terror suspect’s infamous uncle Ruslan Tsarni. Further confirmation of this bombshell was received via mainstream reporter Laura Rozen here. Let me first provide a few excerpts from the original reporting site (a real alternative media):


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 . 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.


Now, take a look at the most explosive aspect of this original report on Graham Fuller’s outing in the CIA Boston Terror Connection [All Emphasis Mine]:

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.


I presented CIA’s Graham Fuller as one of the top culprits in my State Secrets Privilege Case when the government invoked the State Secrets Privilege and several additional gag orders to cover up the FBI’s investigations and files pertaining to CIA-NATO terror operations in Central Asia & the Caucasus since the mid-1990s. Guess what? I provided this information to the US media long before it became public in 2008 via my website and this website. Not a single media outlet (including quasi and pseudo ones) was willing to touch this. And this, despite of all the gag orders, state secrets privilege invocations, congressional gag orders … you name it. I could name more than a dozen publications that said: ‘no way.’

Not only that. I have been covering one of the main CIA operation figures in Central Asia & the Caucasus-Imam Fethullah Gulen, and this Turkish Imam’s relationship and official Connections to CIA’s Graham Fuller. I’ve been doing this since 2009. Let me provide you with a few explosive examples and excerpts. First a few excerpts from over two years ago published at Boiling Frogs Post:


First of all, there have been tens if not hundreds of articles establishing Graham Fuller as one of Gulen’s official references to the court for his residency, you can view some of these here, here, here. This quote comes from Foreign Policy Journal:

Fethullah Gulen became a green card holder despite serious opposition from FBI and from Homeland Security Department. Former CIA officers (formally and informally) such as Graham Fuller and Morton Abromovitz were some of the prominent references in Gulen’s green card application.

And Stein let that slide?! I’d quickly ask: ‘how often do you write to the FBI on people you think have been unfairly targeted or treated by them?!’ Last but not least on Graham Fuller is my own on-the-record, more accurately, on-the-album, naming of individuals implicated (criminally) in my case, thus protected via invocation of the State Secrets Privilege:…


Then the following excerpt from an article I wrote in 2010:

After years of investigating him the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security, due to his guardian angels in the State Department and the CIA, are prevented from bringing an indictment against him, so they try to kick him out of the US. But once again Gulen’s CIA angels step in and portray Gulen as a scholar, despite the fact that Fethullah Gulen doesn’t even have a high-school diploma and never went beyond the 5th grade. Among his angels who vouched for him were Graham Fuller, George Fidas, and Morton Abramowitz.

And this excerpt from another related article I wrote in 2010:

You may remember one of these foreign policy makers from my State Secrets Privilege Gallery and my under oath testimony in the Krikorian case. Here is a quote from Graham A. Fuller, former Deputy Director of the CIA’s National Council on Intelligence:

‘The policy of guiding the evolution of Islam and of helping them against our adversaries worked marvelously well in Afghanistan against the Red Army. The same doctrines can still be used to destabilize what remains of Russian power, and especially to counter the Chinese influence in Central Asia.’

And this from another commentary I wrote on the Gulen-CIA nexus:

No one is daring to mention one of his top backers in the US, another butler of Israel, Mort Abramowitz, or and how Abramowitz vouched for Gulen during his deportation hearing. No one is talking about Gulen’s other CIA bodyguard, Graham Fuller. No ‘real’ questions on Gulen’s ‘real’ sources of multibillion dollar funding…No emphasis on Gulen’s real role for the real US decision-makers’ use, and their strategy for Central Asia since 1997…

Some of these reporters have their hands tied by their MSM editors. Some of the semi- independent journalists have fallen for the creators of the smoke and mirrors. And others are simply guided by ignorance and utter dumbness emboldened by their arrogance. Well, they are just the latest being sold and fed garbage when it comes to Gulen.

PART OF TRANSCRIPT PERTAINING TO FETHULLAH GULEN

14 Q Are you familiar with a person

15 named Fetullah Gulan, G-u-l-a-n?

16 A Yes.

17 Q Can you tell us who that is?

18 A My information is mainly about his

19 activities and issues that were, again, done

20 from late 1990s until I left, and then after

21 that it will be known activities here in the

22 United States. He shortly -- he was the

1 religious activist figure in Turkey, and he

2 landed on Turkish government's wanted list and

3 was going to be persecuted for wanting to

4 throw Turkish secular government -- replace it

5 with Islamic shariah kind of type of

6 government.

7 And when he was wanted in Turkey

8 for that and he was going to go to jail, he

9 actually got on the plane and came to the

10 United States, and he was given immediately

11 visa to stay in the United States, and he has

12 been in the United States until now as far as

13 I know.

14 He has since established more than

15 300 madrasahs in Central Asia and what he

16 calls universities that have a front that is

17 called Moderate Islam, but he is closely

18 involved in training mujahideen-like militia

19 Islam who are brought from Pakistan and

20 Afghanistan into Central Asia where his

21 madrasahs operate, and his organization's

22 network is estimated to be around $25

Page 96

1 billion.

2 He has opened several Islamic

3 universities in the United States. As I said

4 it's being promoted under Moderate Islam. It

5 is supported by certain U.S. authorities here

6 because of the operations in Central Asia, but

7 what they have been doing since late 1990s is

8 actually radical Islam and militizing

9 (phonetic) these very, very young, from the

10 age 14, 15, by commandoes they use, and this

11 is both commandoes from Turkish military,

12 commandoes from Pakistani ISI in Central Asia

13 and Azerbaijan, and after that they bring them

14 to Turkey, and from Turkey they send them

15 through Europe, to European and elsewhere.

16 Up until 1999, the Turkish

17 government, also paramilitary units in Central

18 Asia, they operated under the groups that call

19 themselves Gray Wolves, ultra-nationalists,

20 and their method was, you know, assassination

21 of certain leaders in the Central Asian

22 countries, and militizing, but not through

Page 97

1 Islam.

2 But after this scandal that took

3 place in Turkey, Susurluk scandal, they were

4 no longer supported by certain segments in the

5 United States, and instead some of our people

6 involved in foreign policy, they supported the

7 Islamic movements of Gulan in the Central

8 Asian countries in order to counter Russia as

9 far as the energy sources are concerned in

10 those countries.

11 Q How is it, if you know, or how is

12 it that Gulan is allowed to be in the United

13 States?

14 Let me ask a different question.

15 A Okay.

16 Q I'm sorry. Is that an individual

17 based on what you've told me that you would be

18 -- that you would consider a threat to U.S.

19 interests?

20 A One hundred percent, absolutely.

21 Q And if you know, how is it that

22 he's allowed to be in the United States?

Page 98

1 A Because part of what he has in

2 terms of the deal with certain segments in the

3 United States is furthering the interests of

4 the people who are interested in the energy

5 sources in Central Asia, and that is the --

6 whether it's oil or whether it's natural gas,

7 and basically it's a fight.

8 The best way to describe it is

9 Cold War is not over. It's a continuation of

10 Cold War over those nations, and what we did

11 in Afghanistan in early 1980s with mujahideen,

12 we have been joined now in Central Asia by

13 using Islam and extremism and these madrasahs,

14 and Pakistani and Afghani elements to build

15 (unintelligible) and staff in terms of those

16 resources towards certain business interests.

17 Q Did you say that Gulan had set up

18 schools in the United States as well?

19 A Yes.

20 Q Are some of those in Cincinnati,

21 if you know?

22 A I'm not sure. I know of some in

Page 99

1 Texas. I know one in Virginia, but I don't

2 know. They are multiplying, and they're

3 spreading rapidly. There's Islamic madrasahs

4 or universities everywhere. So I haven't kept

5 track of the locations. I don't know

Is there a new Gulen Charter School in Connecticut's future? Get a load of the Connecticut politicians manipulated by Gulenists!!!!

Connecticut State Flag

Across town, another group of education advocates is also making a second attempt at landing state approval for a charter school. The group is led by Ismail Agirman, a senior engineer at Otis Elevators. She has been seeking to open a math and science high school for years. Agirman got approval in 2006 for one such school in Hartford, but the state legislature didn’t pass funding for new charter schools that year, according to board member Fatih Mercan, a Yale molecular biologist currently researching cancer.
Mercan said he got hooked on biology early on, in high school, when he took part in a biology Olympiad. He wants other students to catch the science fever, too, so they can enter the fast-growing field of medical, academic and industry jobs that require a math and science education.
A lot of students “don’t want to choose math because they feel unprepared and they are afraid of it,” he said.
The Connecticut Academy of Math and Science (CAMS) would be a new math and science school for grades 7 to 12 in New Haven. The proposal is similar to New Haven’s district-run Engineering Science and University Magnet School, which is in the process of expanding to serve grades 6 to 12. Mercan said he doesn’t see a problem in having two similar schools in the same town; he said there’s plenty of need for math and science education.
CAMS would feature a longer school day and a 200-day school year. It would start small and grow to serve 250 kids in four years.

WILL CONNECTICUT BE HOME TO THE NEXT GULEN CHARTER SCHOOL?
Note: Over the next few weeks, Commissioner Stefan Pryor and the Connecticut State Board of Education will be reviewing and approving applications for new charter schools in Connecticut. This is the first in a series of posts about some of the applicants for these publicly funded charter schools.
“Fethullah Gülen is a Turkish author, educator, and Muslim scholar.” (Wikipedia)
“Fethullah Gulen is a major Islamic political figure in Turkey, but he lives in self-imposed exile in a Poconos enclave and gained his green card by convincing a federal judge in Philadelphia that he was an influential educational figure in the United States.” (Philadelphia Inquirer, March 2011)
“Controversial Muslim preacher, feared Turkish intriguer—and “inspirer” of the largest charter school network in America.” (City Journal, fall 2012)
Date Line Connecticut;
On April 7th 2011, Nebi Demirsoy, in his capacity as President of the Connecticut chapter of the Turkish Cultural Center – presented Governor Dannel P. Malloy with the Center’s “Statesman of the Year Award.”
Last year, on March 8, 2012, Nebi Demirsoy, in his capacity as Executive Director of the Connecticut chapter of the Peace Islands Institute presented Governor Malloy’s Commissioner of Education, Stefan Pryor, with the organization’s “Educator of the Year” award.
Other guests in attendance at the March 8th gala included Congressman Chris Murphy, Governor Dannel Malloy, Speaker of the House of Representatives Christopher G. Donovan, Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives Kevin Ryan and State Board of Education Chairman Allan B. Taylor. Both Governor Malloy and Commissioner Pryor addressed the audience.
The Peace Islands Institute – CT, the entity giving Commissioner Pryor the award, is part of a broader organization with offices in New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania.
The Honorary President of Peace Islands Institute is Fethullah Gulen.
In addition to serving as President of the Turkish Cultural Center and the Executive Director of the Peace Islands Institute, Nebi Demirsoy also serves as the President of the Putman Science Academy; a Gulen associated private boarding school located in Putnam, Connecticut.
This year, among the 24 applications submitted to Commissioner of Education, Stefan Pryor, and the Connecticut State Board of Education for new state funded charter schools was a charter school application submitted by Ismail Agirman. The new charter school would be built in New Haven.
Ismail Agirman is the treasurer of Wellspring Cultural and Education Foundation, Inc.
Bringing the circle to completion, Wellspring is the corporate entity that operates the Putnam Science Academy.
CAMS – A New Charter School for Connecticut
Calling themselves the Connecticut Academy of Math and Science (CAMS), Agriman’s application was one of the nine proposals for new charter schools in Bridgeport, four charter schools in New Haven and two schools in Hartford and Windham.
Although the State Board of Education does not require support from local education officials, formal or informal support is considered a valuable asset. The year before Stefan Pryor was awarded the “Educator of the Year” award, the Turkish Cultural Center gave their “Education Award” to New Haven Public Schools Superintendent Reginald Mayo, the New Haven education official whose support for the new Connecticut Academy of Math and Science charter school would be invaluable.
In addition, according to the New Haven Independent, two of the nine members of the proposed Connecticut Academy of Math and Science board of directors have important political connections; Deputy Speaker of the House Kevin Ryan and Yale Police Chief Ronnell Higgins.
Deputy Speaker of the House Kevin Ryan has been connected with the Turkish Cultural Center for a number of years, having traveled on one of the Cultural Center’s trips to Turkey.
Meanwhile, Chief Higgins was previously presented with a Turkish Cultural Center Appreciation Award at an even in July 2010.
What is a Gulen Charter School?
As reported in the New York Times, the Washington Post, 60 minutes, the New Yorker, the New Republic and elsewhere, by successfully maximizing state charter school laws around the country, there are at least 135 schools, operating in 26 states and enrolling more than 45,000 students that are associated or affiliated, in one way or another, with the controversial Turkish Cleric Fethullah Gulen.
As publicly funded charters, these schools pull in over $400 million a year in taxpayer funds.
The total number of schools and the amount of public funds that they collect make the Gulen charters, as they are often called, the largest charter school chain in the United States.
Fethullah Gulen’s followers, which often refer to themselves as a “faith-based, civic society movement,” include about 4 to 6 million people. While they make up only a fraction of the 74 million Turks, they are considered one of the most powerful political forces in Turkey.

Gulen Charter Schools, discriminatory practices against non-Turkish staff

Several lawsuits filed all over the country, ban together and make these schools accountable for their behavior against American workers.  They call Americans "foreigners" and THEY the GULENISTS are the ones that are foreigners.


A former English teacher at Truebright Science Academy Charter School has filed a civil rights suit alleging the Turkish-run charter discriminated against employees based on gender and national origin.

Regenna A. Jalon, who worked at the North Philadelphia school for four years, said in a complaint filed in U.S. District Court in late February that the school engaged in a pattern of hiring, promoting and paying less-qualified Turkish nationals more than American-born educators who were certified and had more experience.

A Truebright attorney said the school denied any wrongdoing when the suit surfaced during a hearing Thursday on the charter school's renewal.

Jalon was one of at least nine Truebright staffers who filed initial discrimination complaints with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in 2011. She filed her suit in federal court after the EEOC issued a letter in January that said she could proceed with a lawsuit.

Truebright, which is one of more than 130 charter schools across the country linked to a controversial Turkish imam, is fighting to remain open. The school is being reviewed by the district on whether its charter should be renewed. A hearing will resume on April 26.

Truebright's board, top administrators and a third of its teachers are Turkish. Many of them are working in the United States on nonimmigrant visas.

Jalon's suit contends Truebright engaged in "a concerted effort to deprive" non-Turkish staffers of the ability to earn as much as the Turkish male employees.

The complaint also charges that Jalon was abruptly demoted from the post of English department chair in late August two days after she testified at the charter-renewal hearing.

According to the suit, Truebright officials retaliated against Jalon after learning at the hearing that she had filed complaints with the district and the state Department of Education in 2011 outlining alleged improprieties at the school.

During Thursday's hearing, a district lawyer attempted to introduce the suit as evidence to support the School Reform Commission's contention that Truebright's board had failed to address concerns of parents and staff, including discriminatory employment practices.

Brian H. Leinhauser, Truebright's attorney argued that Jalon's complaint was not relevant to the charter's renewal and should not be admitted.

"The inclusion of mere allegations is extraordinarily prejudicial to my client," Leinhauser told Phinorice J. Boldin, the hearing officer.

He added: "The school denies any wrongdoing."

Boldin, an outside attorney who is serving as the district's hearing officer, said she would take the matter under advisement.

The hearing stems from Truebright's appeal of a vote last spring by the School Reform Commission not to renew its operating charter on 18 grounds, including poor academic performance and lack of certified teachers.

After the hearing is over, Boldin will send a report to the SRC, which will take a final vote on whether to renew the school's operating charter.

Meanwhile.............another Gulen charter school on the chopping block Truebright Science Academy

Turkish Gulenist Teachers show up at board meeting with signs to
stop the closure of Truebright Science Academy.  A futile attempt?

 

By Martha Woodall, Inquirer Staff Writer

Posted: April 06, 2013

A former administrator at Truebright Science Academy Charter School testified Thursday that the school lacked a curriculum, provided no services for students whose first language was not English, and told the Philadelphia School District it offered advanced courses that did not exist.

During a hearing to determine whether Truebright deserves to have its charter renewed, Susan Farley-Ellison detailed the North Philadelphia school's academic shortcomings.

Farley-Ellison, the school's supervisor of curriculum and instruction in 2010-11, said the school had textbooks but lacked a curriculum because the charter's chief executive told her the school could not afford one. She said the school did not have a program for students whose first language was not English.

And, she said, many of the courses Truebright listed in its renewal application filed in November 2011 had never been offered.

Miles Shore, the district's assistant general counsel, asked her: Honors English? Honors social studies? Advanced math and science at the middle school? AP and honors science and math at the high school? Each time, Farley-Ellison replied no.

She made the comments during a hearing at the district's headquarters on North Broad Street as Truebright - which is linked to a controversial Turkish imam - is fighting to remain open.

Farley-Ellison was one of the highest-ranking Americans ever employed by Truebright. The charter's administrators and board members and many of its teachers are Turkish nationals, some of whom are working in the United States on nonimmigrant visas.

She testified that she left Truebright in July 2011. She said her position was eliminated after she applied to become the top administrator. She said she was not interviewed for the job nor told why she was not chosen.

The job went to Bekir Duz, a Turkish national who had been a top administrator at a charter school in central New Jersey, which is also run by followers of the Turkish imam, M. Fetullah Gulen, who lives in self-imposed exile in the Poconos.

A Common Pleas Court judge ruled in late February that Farley-Ellison could be compelled to testify at the charter hearing even though she had reached a settlement agreement with Truebright that barred her from mentioning the agreement or saying anything negative about the school.

Last April, the School Reform Commission took the first step in closing Truebright by voting not to renew its operating charter on 18 grounds, including poor academic performance, lack of certified teachers, and allegations that the charter's board did not respond to concerns of staff or parents.

Truebright appealed, triggering a hearing that gives the school an opportunity to present its case for staying open.

The proceedings began in July but had been on hiatus since November while lawyers sparred over Farley-Ellison's testimony.

Phinorice J. Boldin, an outside attorney who is serving as hearing officer, scheduled the hearing to resume April 26.


 

Gulen Charter Schools in Georgia and why they are all closing

yes, yes, they can remain open as "private schools" but the Fulton Science Academies will no longer have a charter mandate and therefore will lose taxpayer supported funds.

Here is the reasons why

http://georgiacharterschooldisgrace.com/

Gulen Charter School, closure of Fulton Science Academy High School looms


April 10, 2013

FULTON COUNTY, Ga. – With May 23 the final day of school in Fulton County, it appears probable a decision on the future of the Fulton Science Academy High School will come just days before that date, putting in flux the academic plans for hundreds of high school students.

Last year, the Fulton School Board voted to terminate the charter with FSA HS on June 30, ending its relationship with the charter school after an eight-year partnership. Because there were two years remaining in the charter agreement, the action must be approved by the Georgia Board of Education (GBOE), following a recommendation from the Georgia Department of Education (GDOE), which is handling the appeal.

FSA HS appealed Fulton's decision to the state in January, but officials with the GDOE noted the process was not complete in time for the GBOE's April 4-5 meeting. The date of the May meeting has not yet been set and state officials are not promising completion of the process even then.

"We completely understand [school ends in Fulton on May 23], but we are also not the only party involved in this process," said Dorie Turner Nolt, spokeswoman for the GDOE. "All work on this issue has to be completed before we can take it to the [state] board. We are still working through the process on FSA HS, but we anticipate it will go before the board in May or June. That's not set in stone, but that is what it looks like right now."

In the meantime, Fulton School System officials are proceeding with plans to assimilate the approximately 200 students in grades 9-11 who may find their current school closed for next year. Enrollment projections for the 2013-2014 school year were released last month and took into account the return of FSA HS students to traditional schools.

However, officials with FSA HS say they are still working on the premise the school will be successful in its appeal to the state and plans to be open next school year. Randall Morgan, chair of the FSA HS Governing Board, points to several academic achievements by its students this year, with several first place winners at the State Technology Fair and a 100 percent pass rate on the state writing exams.

"We continue planning with the expectation that Fulton Science Academy High School will retain its current status as an exemplary charter school as evidenced by our students who continue to academically outperform their state and national peers," said Morgan.

However, minutes of the board meeting show about a 7 percent decline in enrollment following the Fulton School Board's action in December, and an open house for prospective students in the spring was canceled because of the uncertainty of the appeal. FSA HS had an enrollment of 250 students at the start of the school year.

Last year, its sister school, Fulton Science Academy Middle School, lost its public school charter and converted to a private school. Morgan did not comment on whether plans have been made to follow the same route for the high school.
