Finally.
It’s taken three days, we’ve been pounding the connections, and now
media reports the FBI is in San Francisco to interview Ekbal Zahi. Zahi is the mother of Noor Sahi Salman, terrorist Omar Mateen’s wife.
There
are very similar circumstances between the events, travels and
behaviors of Omar Matten, his wife Noor Salman and the San Bernardino
terrorists Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik.
The
connections include similar travel (Saudi Arabia), social Islam /
Mosque connected relationships, and sham marriages to gain U.S. entry
for spouses who become ex-spouses after minimum time for residency
retention. In essence, knowledge of -and exploitation of- ridiculously
uncontrolled immigration avenues.
San
Francisco is the link that connects terrorist Mateen and terrorist
Farook. See if any of this NBC report on Omar/Noor, from San Francisco,
rings a bell to the prior reporting of Syed/Tashfeen for you (bookmark
for later reference):
(Via Bay News NBC) [...] Noor Zahi Salman, 30, grew up in Rodeo, California, about 45 minutes away from San Francisco, is cooperating with the FBI but could still face criminal charges.
On Tuesday afternoon, three FBI agents visited the house she grew up in between 3 and 4 p.m.,
and where her mother still lives with her 14-year-old sister. Neighbors
told NBC Bay Area they heard two women and a man say “FBI” when they
knocked on the house next door. Video footage obtained by NBC Bay Area
shows the agents leaving in their car.
Salman
told the FBI she was with her husband, Omar Mateen, when he bought
ammunition and a holster, several officials familiar with the case told
NBC News.
She
also told the FBI that she once drove him to Pulse nightclub, because
he wanted to check it out. And even though she told the FBI she tried to
talk him out of it, NBC News reported that authorities are now
considering whether Salman failed to tell them what she knew before the
attack.
Salman
had four listed email accounts in a public records database, including
one to the now-defunct Heald College in Concord. She did not respond to
any of the four emails sent to her Tuesday by NBC Bay Area, though two bounced back. One of the emails had Mateen’s name in the prefix: MissesMateen86@
Neighbors on the quiet street in Rodeo where she grew up told NBC Bay Area on Monday that Salman was the daughter of Ekbal Zahi and Bassam Abdallah Salman, who died of a heart attack several years ago.
The
couple has three other daughters – the youngest is 14. Salman’s mother
still lives at the home but did not come out to speak. According to
neighbors, she attended John Swett High School in nearby Crockett,
California.
Salman married Mateen, neighbors said, and moved to Florida about five years ago, despite the fact that there is no known marriage license on record.
All
the neighbors described her as kind and normal, and a young woman who
came from a nice Muslim family. Neighbors told NBC Bay Area they
thought Salman looked beautiful in her dress on the lawn of the home
before she headed off to her ritual Muslim wedding.
In fact, Salman’s mother was so devout, neighbors said, she didn’t eat at the home of her Punjabi neighbors because they had a dog. In strict Muslim interpretation, dogs can be seen as impure.
A Miami news station reporter tweeted that Salman left Port St. Lucie, Florida after midnight on Tuesday,
and lowered her head before the media frenzy camped out there. She
deleted her social media accounts, minus one photo of her and Mateen
with their 3-year-old son. It appears as though the couple has been
together since 2013 based on mortgage records.
Facebook accounts for her relatives show they are Palestinian, the Daily Beast reported. The Daily Mail obtained
photos from inside Mateen’s apartment, and also reported that Salman is
a second-generation American, born to a well-heeled Palestinian family
who emigrated to California from the West Bank in the 1970s.
And it appears as though Salman had been married previously in Palestine and then moved to Illinois with Ahmed Aburahma from 2005 to 2009, NBC News reported. Aburahma moved to Tucson and has since remarried.
“She’s a nice person,” he told NBC News. “She liked to go out. She liked to eat out. She was nice.”
Mateen also had been married before.
That ex-wife, Sitoria Yusufiy, told reportersthis week that she left Mateen because of possible mental illness and abuse.
Back
in California, Rodeo neighbor Sarwan Kaur said Mateen apparently
wouldn’t let Noor Salman’s mother visit her in Florida. “Like, even
when she was in the hospital, her husband wouldn’t let her come see her
own mother,” Simrat Chahal said on behalf of his grandmother. (full article link)

Was Orlando Shooting A False Flag? Shooter Has Ties To FBI, Regular At Club, Did Not Act Alone?
Brandon Turbeville | June 15, 2016 URL: http://www.
As mainstream media organizations continue to be afire with reports regarding the recent Orlando shooting,
a number of details are escaping the public consciousness that might
point to an even more sinister motivation for the killing of 50 innocent
people at the Pulse nightclub. Most notably, that the attack could very
well have been orchestrated by the FBI and other relevant U.S.
intelligence agencies in order to guidepublic opinion, galvanize the
American people, and for other “political” purposes.
Indeed, in my article “5 Reasons To Question The Official Story Of The Orlando Shooting,” I listed a number of questionable aspects regarding
the shooting such as the fact that the FBI was well aware of Omar
Mateen, his ideology, and his potential violence years before the attack
yet did nothing, as well as the fact that this father is a
Taliban-supporting TV host from Afghanistan. I also pointed out that
Mateen himself had connections to a known ISIS recruiter and suicide
bomber. In addition, I discussed the FBI’s history in relation to
creating terrorist attacks in order to “bust” them and subsequently take
the credit for stopping terrorist attacks.
FBI Foreknowledge, ISIS Sympathies, Taliban Ties
What
may at first sound like an instance of senseless violence brings with
it a number of other questions. For instance, the FBI was already well
aware of Mateen and his connections to radical jihad and terrorism.
According to CNN’s article, “50 Killed in Florida Nightclub, Shooter Pledged ISIS Allegiance,” two officials tell CNN that the FBI had investigated Mateen at some point for possibly having ties to or sympathizing with Islamic extremism.
A law enforcement official said there were two cases opened involving
Mateen but the probes didn’t result in enough evidence to charge him
with anything.
The
investigations were reported by a number of mainstream media
organizations and later confirmed by the FBI itself during a press
conference. The FBI admitted that Mateen had been interviewed by agents
twice in 2013 due to comments made about radical jihad which were
overheard by coworkers. He was interviewed for a third time one year later due to his connection to Moner Mohammad Abu Salha, an American who had traveled from Florida to train in Syria and later to return to the United States in
order to recruit other Americans to fight in the Western-backed
terrorist brigades attempting to overthrow secular and legitimate
government, Bashar Al Assad.
Salha
allegedly returned to Syria and blew himself up in a suicide bombing.
It is also interesting to note that Mateen’s father Seddique Mateen is a
political personality in his own right having hosted a TV show and
apparently declared himself a presidential candidate for
Afghanistan. Seddique has denounced the Pakistani government and
expressed support and encouragement for the Taliban movement.
Still, the question regarding the fact that Mateen was on the FBI’s radar is extremely important. One key aspect suggesting a false flag that should be looked for soon after the attack is any possible connectionthe
suspect or group of suspects may have had with intelligence agencies. A
connection to any one of these organizations and institutions may go
some length in explaining how the attack was coordinated, the motivation
of the perpetrators, the actual involvement (or not) of the suspects,
and who actually directed the operation. For instance, on 9/11, many of
the alleged hijackers had previously had close contact with the FBI,
CIA, and other high-level intelligence agencies (both home and abroad).
Likewise, the Tsarnaev brothers who have been accused of masterminding and carrying out the Boston Bombing had ties to the FBI before the attack.
In
many instances, connections to certain military agencies and
communities should serve as the same red flag as connections to
intelligence agencies since these institutions have largely been blended
together.
The Presence Of FBI “Informants”
The FBI did much more than simply “investigate” Mateen – they introduced him to “informants” as well. According to the New York Daily News in the article, “FBI spied on Orlando gay club terrorist Omar Mateen for 10 months i...,”
Mateen first appeared on authorities’ radar in 2013 after the security guard’s colleagues alerted the FBI to inflammatory statements he made to colleagues claiming “family connections to Al Qaeda,” according to Comey.Mateen also told coworkers he had a family member who belonged to Hezbollah, a Shia network that is a bitter enemy of ISIS — the network he pledged allegiance to the night of the carnage, Comey noted.The FBI’s Miami office opened an inquiry into Mateen.“He said he hoped that law enforcement would raid his apartment and assault his wife and child so he could martyr himself,” Comey said.Nevertheless, FBI investigators investigated Mateen, who was born in New York, for 10 months. They introduced him to confidential informants, spied on his communications and followed him. They also interviewed him twice.
Connections To Known Terrorists, FBI Informants, CIA Assets
Mateen
was not only connected to Mohammed Abu Salha, he also maintained ties
with Marcus Dwayne Robertson, a notoriously violent radical Muslim/CIA
Asset.
The Daily Mail describes Robertson in the article, “Orlando terrorist connected to radical Muslim cleric who was releas... by writing,
Robertson, who is also known as Abu Taubah to his thousands of followers, converted at least 36 people to his version of Islam while he was imprisoned for four years in jail.Early Sunday authorities brought Robertson, who was living in Florida, along with several other associates in for questioning.According to Fox News, a law enforcement source said: ‘It is no coincidence that this happened in Orlando. Mateen was enrolled in (Robertson’s online) Fundamental Islamic Knowledge Seminary.’Police believe that Robertson’s Timbuktu Seminary is used to dispense his radical teachings, sources told Fox News.Robertson, who was a former US Marine and undercover FBI agent before turning into a radical Imam, was released from prison last year despite warning from officials and prosecutors that he would recruit people to carry out horrendous acts of violence.He was considered so dangerous that he was kept shackled with his own security detail away from other inmates.Whenever he was transported to court, authorities had a seven-car caravan of armed federal marshals escort him.He was eventually moved to solitary confinement after prison officials discovered that he was trying to radicalize his fellow inmates.After serving as a Marine for six years, Robertson, 47, went on to become a bank robber, before turning FBI informant after his arrest in exchange for a short prison sentence.
He was dismissed by the FBI in 2007 after allegedly attacking his CIA handler, and then began preaching Islamic extremism.He was thrown in jail for tax fraud back in 2011, prosecutors attempted to have ten years added to his sentence last year after discovering documents preaching terror among his possessions. However, a judge released him.Robertson has openly preached against homosexuality, as wiretaps from 2011 proved that he instructed one of his students to file fake tax returns to get a refund to pay for travel to Mauritania for terror training.According to Fox News, federal law enforcement officials have been familiar with Robertson since as early as 1991.Robertson became the leader of a New York gang known as ‘Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves’ and robbed more than 10 banks, private homes and post offices at gunpoint.
They shot three police officers and also attacked an officer after he suffered injuries from a homemade pipe bomb.In that same period, authorities claimed that Robertson, who was known as ‘Ali Baba,’ also ‘served as a bodyguard to Omar Abdel Rahman, who led the terrorist group that carried out the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center,’ Fox News reported.When he was arrested in 1991 he cut a deal with prosecutors who let him serve four years in prison before he went to work undercover for the FBI in 2004 to document terrorists’ plans in Africa and the United States.
Thus,
the best efforts of the FBI, CIA, and their media mouthpieces are to
attempt to convince readers that Robertson was a legitimate radical
Muslim (aside from his ties to the U.S. military, FBI, and CIA) but that
he was simply too much of a loose cannon to be used as an informant and
was therefore cut loose from the program. This claim would actually
mean two things: First, Robertson may have been a loose cannon but he
was still willing to work as an informant. Secondly, despite his being
known as a radical jihadist with a notorious criminal history, he was
released from prison on numerous occasions having served less time than
many with simple drug offenses to their names. In reality, however, the
story purporting to show Robertson as a legitimate terrorist are most
cover for what was and still is a CIA/FBI asset.
It
should also be noted that Robertson was known to have acted as the
bodyguard for Omar Abdel Rahman, the alleged leader of the terrorist
group that carried out the World Trade Center bombing in 1993, another
“sting” operation that resulted in a terrorist attack going live.
The FBI History Of Creating Terrorist Attacks
For some time Tony Cartalucci of Land Destroyer has
been painstakingly documenting instances of the FBI organized, arming,
funding, and directing domestic terror attacks only to foil those
attacks later and claim success in preventing terror attacks on American
soil as well as the possibility that many of these attacks simply do
not get foiled but are allowed to take place for political purposes.
For instance, in his article “CONFIRMED: FBI Introduced Florida Shooter To ‘Informants,’”
Cartalucci provides an excellent overview of the FBI’s history of
creating terror attacks that can be “foiled” later or even allowed to go
live. Cartalucci writes,
Among the activities these informants carry out includes providing and training suspects in the use of real explosives, providing suspects with arsenals of weapons precisely like those used in the recent shooting in Orlando Florida, and encouraging suspects to adopt “radical ideology” over the course of the investigation. Suspects are given the false impression that they are working on behalf of terrorist organizations like Al Qaeda or the self-proclaimed “Islamic State,” often cultivating delusions of grandeur among otherwise mentally ill suspects.The Intercept in its recent article, “Before Nightclub Shooting, FBI Pursued Questionable Florida “Terror...,” would note that the FBI’s Miami office who investigated Mateen, has been “among the bureau’s most active and aggressive counterterrorism units.”It would also report on the specifics of this unit’s activities:For more than a year ending in April — a time during which investigators will now be looking for any clues from Mateen that might have been missed — the FBI in Miami focused on a counterterrorism sting that targeted James Medina, a homeless man with mental problems.The Intercept would reveal that the FBI informant, not Medina, came up with the idea of crediting the planned attack to the “Islamic State.” In fact, upon reading the FBI’s affidavit (.pdf), it is clear the FBI’s informant encouraged and walked Medina through every aspect of the planned attack, including providing him with what he thought was an explosive device.Upon reading Medina’s incoherent conversations with various FBI informants, it is clear he possessed neither the mental or technical capacity on his own to perpetrate the attacks he was arrested for.The Intercept would continue:Nearly a year before Medina’s arrest, the FBI’s Miami office arrested another supposed terrorist, 23-year-old Cuban-American Harlem Suarez, also known as Almlak Benitez, whom former co-workers described as “a little slow.” The government alleged that Suarez conspired with an FBI informant to bomb a beach in Key West in support of the Islamic State. The FBI provided a fake backpack bomb.Finally, the Intercept would reveal:The Orlando shooting isn’t the first case to raise this question. In 2011, when the FBI investigated Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev, agents did not deem him a threat.Instead, at about the same time, the Boston FBI started a nine-month sting operation against Rezwan Ferdaus, who had no weapons and no connections to international terrorists, and whose mental wellness had deteriorated so much that he was wearing adult diapers at the time of his arrest on terrorism charges.Rezwan Ferdaus, like Medina, was provided assistance by the FBI every step of the way, including being provided 24 lbs of C4 explosives, 6 fully automatic AK47 rifles, and 3 grenades – the FBI’s own affidavit reveals (.pdf). He was brought deep into a fictional world where he believed he was working directly with Al Qaeda for nearly a year – told that “detonation devices” he constructed and passed on to FBI informants were “used” in Iraq to “kill” American soldiers.The FBI’s informants conduct similar practices in virtually all of their investigations.In 2010, the FBI investigated naturalized US citizen and Oregon resident Mohamed Osman Mohamud. In their own official statement titled, “Oregon Resident Arrested in Plot to Bomb Christmas Tree Lighting Ce...,” released by the U.S. Attorney’s Office on November 26, 2010 it was stated :According to the affidavit, on November 4, 2010, Mohamud and the undercover FBI operatives traveled to a remote location in Lincoln County, Ore., where they detonated a bomb concealed in a backpack as a trial run for the upcoming attack.The FBI in February 2012 provided another suspect with live explosives in the lead up to what was ultimately a foiled suicide bombing planned with the help of FBI informants at the US Capitol.USA Today reported in their article, “FBI foils alleged suicide bomb attack on U.S. Capitol,” that :According to a counterterrorism official, El Khalifi “expressed interest in killing at least 30 people and considered targeting a building in Alexandria and a restaurant, synagogue and a place where military personnel gather in Washington before he settled on the Capitol after canvassing that area a couple of times,” the Associated Press writes. During the year-long investigation, El Khalifi detonated explosives at a quarry in the capital region with undercover operatives. He is not believed to be affiliated with al-Qaeda, officials said.Considering the disturbing activities conducted by FBI informants during these “investigations,” the FBI appears obligated to tell the American public just what their “informants” were doing with Florida shooting suspect Omar Mateen in the 10 months they were “investigating” him beginning in 2013.Did they also walk Mateen through planned attacks he ultimately backed out of? Did he eventually change his mind again after the FBI’s investigation was allegedly closed?The American media and US elected representatives have an obligation to ask these questions, obtain this information from the FBI, and to reevaluate the FBI’s means and methods of investigating potential suspects through what is clearly a dangerous process of entrapment, indoctrination, and deceit.
