Remember
the uncle of the Tsarnaev brothers?
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.
The couple divorced sometime before 2004.
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.
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.
Uncle
Ruslan’s spy connections go far deeper than was already known,
which was that he spent two years working in Kazakhstan for USAID.
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…
According to Uncle Ruslan, Misha was the man who over a considerable period of time had radicalized Tamerlan.
He never got a name, something that in spook-dom is considered something of a faux pas.Then again, no one else had either.
Worse, Tsarni's vivid description seemed to be taken from personal observation, from, in other words…real life. But that isn’t possible. Tsarni had stated he hadn’t been physically in the presence of his Boston relatives since December 2005. And Misha, if he existed, didn’t show up on the scene until 2008 at the earliest.
No
performance was nearly as masterful, however, as that of the
Associated Press.
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.

an Armenian to convert to Islam is like finding a unicorn in a

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 suggests a reference to one of her father’s CIA
postings.
The couple divorced sometime before 2004.
Today
Ms. Fuller lives abroad, and is a director of several companies
pursuing strategies to increase energy production from clean-burning
and renewable resources.
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.
"Congress of Chechen International" c/o 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.
Chechen
oik exec/uncle pairing up with a top CIA official who once served as

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 “The
Wise Words of Uncle Ruslan” opined
that he was her choice for "an award for bravery in the face of
adversity.”
Success through indirection, mis-direction, redirection, and protection
Uncle
Ruslan’s spy connections go far deeper than was already known,
which was that he spent two years working in Kazakhstan for USAID.
But
the mainstream media was lookng the other way.
Under
the headline “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 withsome
kind of abilities as exorcist .
. . having some part-time job in one of the stores, not married. All
of the qualifications of a loser, just another big mouth.”
mouth
presenting himself withsome
kind of abilities as exorcist .
. . having some part-time job in one of the stores, not married. All
of the qualifications of a loser, just another big mouth.”According to Uncle Ruslan, Misha was the man who over a considerable period of time had radicalized Tamerlan.
It
seemed strange, then, that in contrast to his “you are there”
verbal picture of the man, even with all his supposed concerns, and
given his high level of education and abundant resources (Big Sky
Energy was paying him in excess of $200,00 a year, according to
documents filed with the SEC) Ruslan had somehow never found out just
who the bad guy was.
He never got a name, something that in spook-dom is considered something of a faux pas.Then again, no one else had either.
Worse, Tsarni's vivid description seemed to be taken from personal observation, from, in other words…real life. But that isn’t possible. Tsarni had stated he hadn’t been physically in the presence of his Boston relatives since December 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.
