We've got a US Reporter Beaten and Arrested, in the US--Tied to 9/11: Here's what I've got in from Blankfort and Condit. Can't find this on the web yet.
Chris Bollyn americanfreepress.net [americanfreepress.net] has written many articles about Mossad/Pentagon/CIA involvement in 9/11
From Jeff Blankfort: "I placed a call to the Hoffman Estates, IL police station number listed below and asked why the reporter, Chris Bollyn, was arrested. The cop who answered wouldn't tell me although it should me a matter of public record. For those who are now aware of it, both Haaretz and the Washington Post reported that the Israeli-owned Odigo Messaging Center was notified of the attack on the WTC two hours before it occurred. The information was turned over to the FBI and that was the last I had heard of it before reading this story. Whether or not, "thousands of Israelis" were warned not to go to the WTC is an allegation that I have heard before but have never seen it substantiated. In any case, this reporter was on to something that some influential folks didn't like."
Here's what Chris has to say:
It's after 2 a.m. in the morning, my deadline is tomorrow, and I have been beaten up by the local police and my right elbow is sorely hurting, but I need to write down exactly what happened to me today before I go to sleep. Otherwise I will forget important details.
I was harassed, beaten, and shocked with a Tazer-like gun in my front yard before my wife and children, and then abused for 6 hours by the ADL-trained local police. I have every reason to believe it is because of my journalistic investigation into 9/11. I have been threatened before in my career as a journalist, but this is the first time I have been intentionally beaten and abused - by the cops.
I have investigated 9/11 since it happened and looked into the many unanswered questions of the terror attacks. I discovered last year that I had had at least two FBI informants crawling around my house for years. This is the main reason I do not feel safe in the United States. It is also why I spend much of the time in Europe or at safe houses in this country, with fellow 9/11 researchers like Ellen Mariani and Eric Hufschmid. I have two small children.
I have only been at my old home in Hoffman Estates for a couple of weeks, mainly because my road-weary children dearly love this old red house, which is the only home they have ever known. It is just a simple Hoffman-Rosner suburban Chicago tract home that my late parents bought in 1957, but it's home.
I had noticed an unusual amount of police activity around my house since I returned. We live on a quiet side street where one might normally see a police cruiser once or twice a week. Since I returned I have noticed all kinds of police cars and devices in the immediate proximity of my house.
But yesterday there was something very unusual around my house. It was an unmarked car with three armed men with body armor driving around my block as I rode my bike to the store. Who in the heck is that? I thought to myself. It looks like they are going to my house, but I won't be there, I thought.
Then today, the same time and the same car with three men passed slowly by my house where the neighborhood kids were playing. "Hello, FBI," I said from my porch and waved.
The man in the front passenger seat waved back. I immediately alerted my wife and kids. Helje said I should stop them and ask them what they want.
For background, today I was working on two rather big stories and I made a lot of phone calls to the Embassy of Israel, the S.E.C., the office of the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, and to an old Israeli living in New York who I have suspicions may be a key player in 9/11. I'd like to discuss this lead but I can't at this point.
