The uncle of the accused Boston Marathon bombers incorporated, in 1995, a company called the "Congress of Chechen International Organizations."
Even as the company was sending aid to Islamic terrorists in Chechnya, its listed address was in the home of former top CIA official Graham Fuller.
Ruslan Tsarni was listed as the company's resident agent. The company's address was 11114 Whisperwood Ln in Rockville MD., the home of Graham Fuller, the one-time Vice-Chairman of the National Intelligence Council at the CIA under President Reagan.
Over
this past weekend, Fuller reluctantly confirmed the report published here last Thursday, "Boston bombers’ uncle married daughter of top CIA official."
He admitted that Ruslan Tsarni had once been married to his daughter.
But then, with the same breath, he derided what he called "rumors” of links between Tsarni and the Agency as “absurd.”
But documents surfaced over the weekend that cast a long shadow of doubt on Graham Fuller's assertion, which amounts to a beat cop waving his baton, and saying, "There's nothing to see here folks. Move along."
"Financiers of terrorism"
The documents include a letter written by the President of the Congress of Chechen Organizations International that, at least on the surface, could not have seemed more ordinary.
It was all about shoes.
In the letter, Congress of Chechen Organizations International President Mohammed Shoshani is interceding with the Board of Directors of Benevolence International, a “charity” that would later he designated “financiers of terrorism” by the Treasury Department, and shut down by US Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald after the 9/11 attack.
Shoshani was interceding with Benevolence on behalf of a new military commander in Chechnya named Sheikh Fathi, who had just arrived from spending 10 years fighting in Afghanistan.
Sheikh Fathi was a “military commander in the violent jihadist movement in Chechnya," noted U.S.. Atty Patrick Fitzgerald in a later indictment,(pdf.) ”as well as an influential “preacher of violent jihad.”
In the Benevolent International indictment, Fitzgerald said "Sheikh Fathi was a major conduit for providing material support to the Chechen rebels."
The uncle of the alleged Boston bombers was part of that conduit.
Just how connected are these people?
Fathi would gain a measure of infamy several years later when he introduced the top Al-Qaeda operative in Afghanistan, Al Khattab, into the Chechen conflict. The move had disastrous results, turning what had been a civil war into a jihad.
Shoes for industry, shoes for the dead
Later Al-Khattab became the so-called 20th hijacker Zaccarias Moussaoui’s commander in Chechnya, according to French intelligence, and had close links with Osama bin Laden, according to former New York Times journalist Phil Shenon’s book “The Commission.”
But back to the letter. And the shoes.
On behalf of Sheikh Fathi, Mohammed Shoshani is thanking Benevolence International for the receipt of 2000 pairs of what Fitzgerald—in an indictment charging the leaders of Benevolence International, called “Anti-Mine Boots for the Chechen Mujahideen.”
The Saudi-based charity operated for years in Russia and Chechnya, pumping $50 million into mujahideen coffers, estimated Russian intelligence.
Sheikh Fathi’s eagerness to procure 5000 more pairs of American protective shoes, US Attorney Fitzgerald explained, had been to minimize the damage caused by small Russian-made camouflage mines, called Frog mines, which were wreaking havoc in the ranks of his Chechen fighters.
Were the Boston bombings "blow-back" from US Caucasus ops?
What does this have to do with the Boston Marathon bombing?
One clue: The President of “Uncle Ruslan’s" Congress of Chechen Organizations International, an expatriate Penn State engineering professor Mohammed Sishani, conducted almost all of his business through another organization he led, called the Chechen-Ingush Society of America.
All of his aboveboard business, that is. Ruslan’s outfit surfaced for the dirty bits, the covert side of the Chechen’s cause.
Was Ruslan Tsarni's organization acting as a free agent? Or was it a "cut-out" for the CIA, a convenient way to establish plausible deniability while executing decisions made by U.S. intelligence agencies, who were apparently interceding on the side of people we were calling "rebels" instead of "terrorists" for no reason other than it suited American objectives for Russian forces to get bogged down in a series of bitter civil wars?
Were such actions US policy at the time? Some say the answer is "yes." Wikileaks cables seem to agree.
America's fostering of a jihadist mercenary force in Afghanistan led directly to the blowback that became the 9/11 attack.
The creation of a "second Afghanistan" in the Caucasus may also have led to blowback: the unintended consequences of a covert operation. The result was in bombs going off in Boston.
Were two young jihadis from the North Caucasus region of Russia recruited to become Islamist terrorists and attack the United States at the Boston Marathon?
Questions remain. No, questions don’t “remain.” They “abound.”
The elder Fuller had retired from the agency almost a decade before the brief marriage," wrote the reporter he selected to give him a sympathetic hearing.
If he'd retired, and taken up horticulture, or origami, or golfing in Florida wearing lime-green sweater-slack combinations, rumors that his ex-son-in-law had connections with the CIA might indeed be absurd.
Was that how Mr. Fuller was spending his well-deserved retirement? Nope… He was working for RAND Corporation.
It was a busman's holiday. But there was also something else... Uncle Ruslan Tsarni's company, back in 1996, was actively aiding Islamic terrorists in Chechnya.
And there's no telling what he's up to now, because a story last week revealed that he was working for the US Government, again. And again, it was USAID. This time, since 2008.
Using the home address of a top CIA official under President Ronald Reagan, who had also, and perhaps not coincidentally, been the author of a famous memo that eventually led Oliver North to step off a plane in Iran with TOW missiles in one hand and a cake for the Ayatollah in the other, Ruslan Tsarni's Congress of Chechens put into practice the CIA's unacknowledged policy in the former Soviet Republics.
He's been stirring up shit on Russia’s southern border.
[…] investigative reporter Daniel Hopsicker has demonstrated, the address for the Congress of Chechen International Organizations just happened to be the home […]
We know that the Tsarnaev brothers were not involved in the bombing thanks to the photo of the bomb-laden black backpack on the ground, in tatters, with the distinctive white patch still visible on top. Neither of the Tsarnaev brothers carried a black backpack, and a black backpack with a white patch was photographed being worn by someone else before the bombing, and after the bombing that person is seen running minus the backpack!
Ruslan’s “Misha misdirection” is to divert attention from the family’s obvious CIA involvement.
For those not clued-in, the collapse of the USSR was a disinformation operation under the “Long-Range Policy” (LRP), the “new” and more subtle strategy all Communist nations signed onto in 1960 to defeat the West with. The next major disinformation operation under the LRP will be the upcoming fraudulent collapse of the Chinese Communist government, subsequent to which Taiwan will be politically stymied from not joining the mainland.
Now you know why Russian military aircraft still have the hated Communist Red Star on their wings/tail fin, and why NEW Russian naval vessels have the hated Communist Red Star placed on their bows. That hated Communist symbol represented the 74 years that the minority Communist Party of the Soviet Union (representing no more than 10% of the adult population) persecuted the majority population, and would have been immediately removed from all such military hardware if the collapse of the USSR were legitimate.
Now you also know why the “electorates” of the 15 republics that made up the USSR continue to “elect” for President Soviet era Communist Party Quislings. There have been 52 such Presidential “elections” since the “collapse” of the USSR, resulting in 40 Soviet era Communist Party member Quislings being elected. That’s 76.92%! If the “collapse” of the USSR were legitimate not one such Quisling would have been elected President. In fact, such persons would have been either arrested in the interests of national security or shunned by society. Remember, Communists Party members made up no more than 10% of the USSR, and it was they who for 74 years persecuted the remaining 90% of the population.
Imagine it’s 1784 America. The Treaty of Paris (1783) was signed the previous year ending the revolutionary war with Britain. So who do the electorates of the newly independent 13 colonies elect for their respective governors? They elect persons who were Loyalists (American supporters of Great Britain) during the war for independence! Of course, in reality the persecution was so bad for Loyalists in post independence America that they had to flee the country en masse for Canada.
Or try this one out: After the collapse of the South African Apartheid Regime in 1994, the majority black population reelect for their Presidents only persons who were National Party members before the 1994 elections!
It should also be pointed out that so-called terrorist organizations in Russia are controlled by Moscow, used to (1) co-opt Western-created terrorist organizations in Russia; and (2) lead Western analysts into the false belief that Russia is a fractious tinderbox. Such a stratagem is an old Communist tactic, dating back to “Operation Trust”, the 1921-1926 ruse that led Western governments to believe that it was the so-called Trust organization that ran Russia, not the Bolsheviks. Western governments fell for the canard and sent urgently needed money and materials to the struggling Bolshevik state.
The fact that CIA has remained silent as to the real events taking place inside the USSR (and East Bloc) the past two-decades, is an indication that the KGB has co-opted the CIA. Surly the marriage of a KGB agent to a CIA officer’s daughter would never be signed off on in a world where the CIA was not co-opted.
For more on the LRP, read KGB defector Major Anatoliy Golitsyn’s 1984 book, “New Lies for Old”, available at Internet Archive or your public library.
Upstream Wizard- here I am replying to myself- another coinkydink re: Walden Road- John Walker Lindh and Enaam Arnaout filed suit in 2009 so they could pray together in prison: http://www.startribune.com/templates/Print_This_Story?sid=101996408
And another interesting unrelated tidbit- who owned Big Sky Energy? 2004-2005 at least a 10% holder was L-R Global Partners- where L-R= Levy/Rockefeller an offshoot of the Rockefeller Family investment office established for offshore investments. Interesting given the Brzezinski / Rockefeller /Trilateral Commission connections.
I have to wonder. We’ve got dope-dealing “Islamic terrorists” with spooky connection. Was Tam’s trip to Dagestan business related?
Drug trafficking soars 60 times in Russia’s Dagestan in 2009.

No. You believe that they believed…
I had already established that he worked for USAID in the early 90’s. So I didn’t need Bloomberg to write “again.”

The Bloomberg article you linked also seems off. No mention of Tsarni’s graduation from Duke Law, which is easily verifiable online. Check the Duke site.
Also, the article says that Tsarni returned to US in 2008. He has addresses in the US all through the time period from 1995 to now. That Bloomberg article is not accurate, or Tsarni is not accurate.
Actually, that Bloomberg article does not say that Tsarni worked for USAID “again”, just that he did at one time. That’s my take anyway.
So, why do you think the mainstream media has not reported that Tsarni married Fuller’s daughter? Will they ever? Have you read Fuller’s memoir yet? In it, he apparently mentions his daughter’s wedding to Tsarni.
Also, check out where Fuller works now, Simon Fraser University, where unclassified CIA docs revealed covert spying on anti-war protestors during the 70s and 80s. And, yeah, RAND is a major player in CIA activities.

just as an afterthought, do you think that Mohammed shashani may be an alias of Mike Yamin?
