‘Uncle Ruslan’ aided terrorists from CIA official’s home

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.

  1. The only loose end is CRAFT INTERNATIONAL, and the cover up concerning the “training exercises” at the marathon bombing itself.

    Check this…

    Tamerlan is a double agent, as DebkaFile posits. He goes to Russia, meets his Islamic brothers, goes covertly to Jamestown Foundation for CIA training, briefing. He thinks he’s going to play his uncle and CIA and give away their operations to his Jihadi beothers.

    Unfortunately Tamerlan is under covert surveillance and every move he makes is known immediately. CIA determines he’s bad news, false loyalties — what to do about him?

    Back in US, he continues playing along, showing up for whatever the handlers want him to do, like training exercises.

    Only this time, after he drops off his dummy backpack, suddenly real bombs go off nearby, placed by WHOM?

    Tamerlan and brother know they were clean. Go back to dorm rooms, continue life. TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY, no message, no statement, nothing.

    Soon enough the FBI says they’re the bombers. Shows no proof to the nation, just photos of their presence at the event.

    Efforts to find out what Craft International mercenaries were doing there are blocked. Not a single question is answered, or will ever be answered.

    The War on Terror (TM) gets a new police state rollout, to protect the universe of course. How about a little protection prior to the bombs going off?

  2. There can be all kinds of scenario’s going on. There can be individual motivations, various agencies motives, government motive, corruption motives – all kinds

  3. i don’t think he was a double agent. it’s more likely he was doing what he was told and the US government double crossed him because they’re dicks like that.

  4. “How about a little protection prior to the bombs going off?” GREAT QUESTION. Strange how the media has ignored the biggest story about this bombing (if you take the official story at face value): the fact that it constitutes the most massive and unexplained security failure since 9/11. The Boston Marathon was crawling with FBI and DHS agents, as well as police officers from local, state and federal agencies. Not to mention all the Craft International contractors with the backpacks. They were even conducting a live bomb drill that morning at the site of the bombing! How could they ALL be so INCOMPETENT? If amateur terrorists could carry out this bombing under the noses of an army of specially equipped and heavily armed officers (with bomb sniffing canines, no less) then some heads need to roll! Whether or not the Tsarnev brothers knowingly planted the bombs that exploded, it is clear this was a black op with deep cover involvement of federal agencies (remember the 1993 WTC bombing?).

  5. Turns out that these guys were National Guard from Mass. They were there as part of CST. http://theminorityreport.forummotion.com/t1335-identity-of-the-khaki-wearing-boston-bombing-operatives-revealed

    http://www.infowars.com/military-men-witnessed-at-boston-bombing-identified-as-national-guard-cst-teams/

    According to this article from the Air National Guard site: http://www.ang.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123344967
    “The Massachusetts team was on duty during the running of the Boston marathon, augmented by similar civil support teams from the New York and Rhode Island National Guards.”

    But one large question still remains: why does the backpack worn by Suspect #3 and those in his team seem to match up so closely to on of the supposed bomb bags? More importantly, why do the two bags carried by Suspects #1 and #2 appear NOT to match one of the supposed bomb bags? Also, why were we told there were no bomb drills going on along the route of the Boston Marathon, including at the finish line? Why were we told that there was no bomb threat, despite reports of drills at the start line? Were there threats or intelligence of a weapon of mass destruction? What was their specific function that day? It seems plausible that they were conducting drills and/or were responding to an actual threat. Also, they are wearing Craft International hats and shirts, which begs another question: were they trained by Craft and/or were also employed by Craft outside of the National Guard? In other words, just because we know that they were part of the National Guard, something smells.

  6. The Washington Times left up my comment mentioning the tattered black backpack lying on the ground, with white square patch on top, that backpack not belonging to either brother.

  7. The 19y/o bro was carrying a black backpack with white label. A runner photographed him accidentally with his phome. They had to photoshop the backpack out, as he’d place it just before as a bomb, you see. Who walks with a bent elbow like tthat without a backpack on?

  8. Video has Dzhokhar Tsarnaev wearing a white/gray backpack, not black. His brother, Tamerlan, had a black backpack however, but no white patch on top…

    http://www.nbcnews.com/video/nightly-news/51626013#51626013

    So, who planted the black backpack with white patch on top that blew up? There’s no doubt that the Tsarnaev brothers left their backpacks at the scene too, however they believed they were taking part in a drill, which is why they felt safe at the finish line with all those bomb sniffing dogs moving past them.

  9. I almost wish Jahar had not been mirandized. He is terminally screwed, anyway, and his current silence means we will not have facts available in the near term. I want to know if he was ‘Stockholmed’ by his brother, and giving him that air might give us some insight/factoids about their ‘handlers’ with some connectivity.

  10. I located this business of Ruslan Tsarnaevs on the secretary of sate of Md business site more than a week ago and I could have sworn it was called Congress of Chechen organizations international…

  11. Speaking of no coincidences- and “meant to be found” what about the Walden Road address- Andrey Suvarov at this address was caught conspiring to influence outcome of Russian elections, Other residents listed here have contributed to pro Chechen reports, oh and John Walker Lindh grew up right next door. No coincidences, right?

  12. 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.

    http://deepsixcover.wordpress.com/2013/04/29/ruslan-tsarni-married-to-top-cia-brass-confirmed-by-graham-fuller/

    I’d like to collaborate with you on a FOI request of the Middlesex DA’s involvement in the Brendan Mess 9/11/11 triple homicide, which Tamerlan and Jahar were likely involved.

    http://deepsixcover.wordpress.com/brendan-mess-waltham-ma-triple-homicide-91111/

  13. 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.

  14. 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.

  15. 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.
