Boston Bombing Suspects Foundation Connections - Another Strand in the Web of Global TerrorBrandon Turbeville Yet, the links between Chechen terrorists and their al-Qaeda counterparts are relatively well documented, even as far as the mainstream media accounts are capable of producing. Thus, the question for the general public should not revolve around potential links between the two terrorist factions, but around the more important issue of who al-Qaeda actually is. After all, if al-Qaeda functions as an umbrella organization for Islamic fundamentalist terrorists the world over, it is important to seek the true head of the overarching network, not merely the outlying tentacles that manifest themselves in various different locations across the globe. For that reason, it is first important to point out that Chechen rebels, much like their rebel cousins in Syria, are, in fact, receiving training, weapons, and financial support via the very networks that so vociferously claim to oppose them the United States and British governments. Indeed, in order to see the direct connection between the U.S. government and Chechen terrorism, one need only look toward the leader of the Chechen rebels, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Chechen Republic Ichkeria, Ilyas Akhmadov, who resides internationally by bouncing back and forth between the United States and Britain all on the tab of the U.S. State Department since as far back as 2004. KMNews then asked, What about our partners in the anti-terrorist coalition? The agency then went on to cite the official expressions of support by then-President George W. Bush, Condoleezza Rice, and State Department spokesman Richard Boucher in order to acknowledge the seemingly bizarre hypocrisy of these officials as they prosecuted a war OF terror all across the globe. KMNews then tellingly explained the motivation behind the funding and support of Chechen terrorist networks. It stated, Yet Akhmadov was not the only separatist terrorist that was given asylum in the Western Anglo Zone. Akmad Zakayev and Aslan Mashkhadov (given asylum in London, England) were also granted protection by the U.S. and Britain in 2003. Zakayev is designated as the special representative of Mashkhadov. In addition, it is also widely known within European media, political, and intelligence circles that certain leaders of the Chechen terrorist networks are closely connected to the American CIA, if not agents outright. Shamil Basayev, described as the brutal Chechen field commander by Webster Tarpley, happens to be one of those individuals. It should be noted that Basayev was linked to the Beslan school massacre as well. Furthermore, as Webster Tarpley writes in his article, Russians Blast US-UK Sponsorship Of Chechen Terror, Tarpley continues by stating, Again, as Tarpley writes, To be clear, the Jamestown Foundation has released a response to the claims made by Izvestia in which it states that See a detailed commentary on Matthew Bryza provided by Sibel Edmonds Boiling Frogs Post here.

Furthermore, it must be mentioned that James R. Woolsey, former CIA Director and member of the Project For A New American Century, Committee on the Present Danger, Committee for the Liberation of Iraq, Center for Security Policy, and the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, has also served as vice-Chairman of the board of the Jamestown Foundation. Likewise, former Vice President Dick Cheney has also served on the board of the Jamestown Foundation as well as Marcia Carlucci, the wife of Frank Carlucci. In addition to the individual connections mentioned above, the inter-agency and inter-organizational connections between the Jamestown Foundation and what Tony Cartalucci of Land Destroyer Report refers to as Meddlers International is veiled by an increasingly transparent veil of direct funding by the United States Government and financial warfare managers like George Soros. In his report, BOMBSHELL: US Caught Meddling In Russian Elections, Cartalucci listed nine organizations that he considered to be a part of Meddlers International, meaning a Western-based network of destabilization campaigns and organizations aimed at overthrowing or otherwise influencing the elections, political climate, or even destruction of foreign states. The list included the National Endowment for Democracy, International Republican Institute, National Democratic Institute, Freedom House, Open Society Institute, International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH), Reporters Without Borders (US Chapter), Human Rights Watch, and Amnesty International (USA). Of these organizations, at least four of them receive funding directly from the National Endowment for Democracy (note that 1 is the NED itself) which is nothing more than a conduit for USAID (United States Agency For International Development) and the U.S. State Department. Thus, it is not mere hyperbole to suggest that the NED, IRI (International Republican Institute), NDI (National Democratic Institute for International Affairs), Freedom House, and RWB (Reporters Without Borders) are nothing more than covert branches of the U.S. government, specifically the U.S. State Department. In addition, The Jamestown Foundation, according to the Institute for Policy Studies, has become increasingly linked to neocon-driven institutions and leading figures, including the Center for Security Policy and Freedom House. The Institute for Policy Studies (IPS) further explains the connections between the Jamestown Foundation and Freedom House by stating, Among the authors of the institutes publications are Freedom Houses Nina Shea, the National Institute for Public Policys Keith Payne, the Hoover Institutes John Dunlop, the Heritage Institutions John Tkacik, American Enterprise Institutes Nicholas Eberstadt, Hudson Institutes Laurent Murawiec, and the Middle East Intelligence Bulletins former editor Gary Gambill. IPS continues in its description of the Jamestown Foundations publications by writing, IPS also demonstrates the method of propaganda pushed by the Jamestown Foundation against nations like Iraq and Syria, two countries which Jamestown Foundation authors have attempted to link the two through the terrorism of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.
