Sibel Edmonds blew the whistle on the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for its cover-up of vital intelligence that could have tipped off the agency to the September 11th terrorist attacks. Highly important documents had been either mistranslated, untranslated, or completely ignored. A supervisor at the time, Mike Feghali, did his best to stop Edmonds from continuing her investigation any further. Her relentless pursuit resulted in a years-long campaign by the FBI that targeted Edmonds, her family, and the U.S. Constitution, through its implementation of the "State Secrets Privilege" and gag orders, at the will of the Attorney General at the time, John Ashcroft. Through courage, perseverance, and the support of her husband, she withstood the onslaught that the American secret police threw at her for her dogged pursuit of the truth.
More than 40 years after an eight-year-old Edmonds witnessed a car explosion take the lives of innocent Iranians, she stood her ground once again, this time, against the attempt by the American government to implement vaccine passports for its citizens in her home Sunshine State. Florida United Against Mandated Insanity (FUAMI), a group founded by Edmonds, decided to fight back on behalf of all American citizens against the authoritarian overreach of the federal government, state governments, and corporations.
