Run away to fight another day, Reporterman. Defy the machinery of the system. The folks are still sleeping and waking from this one takes time.

Eventually they will try to hunt down every true investigative reporter whose findings are not in line with the Official Story. This is getting like the 1930s when the great writer Thomas Mann had to flee his homeland of Germany to go to Switzerland because of Hitler's penchant for arresting college professors, investigative reporters, artists, and intellectuals whose opinions were a real bummer for the image that the Reich was trying to create.

9/11 truth will not be stopped. The arrogant and wicked schemers have "misunderestimated" the spirit of the people. They will lose. They will be shut up in the prisons that history has waiting for them.

Re: Chris Bollyn

I'm really tired of the crap that many reporters try and pawn off onto us these days. I'm concerned by the treatment Chris Bollyn, Luke Rudkowski, Matt Lepacek, and others have received at the hand of jack-booted goons masquerading as law enforcement. You can't talk to a goon. They don't understand english. However, I thought I'd give a reporter a try.

Hello Erin Holmes,

In your story, "One-time Hoffman Estates mayoral candidate wanted", http://www.dailyherald.com/story.asp?id=326286 > you wrote the following:

"The saga began last August, when Bollyn - a self-described journalist who
lost out in the city’s 2000 mayoral primary - called 911 to report a
suspicious sedan driving in his neighborhood."

Would you please define the term "self-described journalist"? I cannot
find a definition of the term, only its use by other journalists,
generally as a derogatory reference to another. Also, could you explain
the difference(s) between a "self-described journalist" and other
"journalists" such as yourself?

Christopher Bollyn is a correspondent with American Free Press newspaper,
according to the americanfreepress.net web site. The American Free Press
is primarily available newsprint form. It appears to me that Mr. Bollyn
is just a regular a journalist as opposed to a "self-described
journalist", as you have labeled him. Can you understand my confusion?

Thank you,

Dick Tater (haha)

Here is the reply I received from Erin Holmes:

Sir:

Thank you for your note.

I'm the new person on our courts beat -- it's a new assignment after eight years
with the paper -- and I took many pieces of the Bollyn story word-for-word from
previous articles as I was not the one who wrote those earlier pieces and was not
fully acquainted with the case.

"Self-Described" is how it's been worded before; I will certainly consider your
point in the future. I believe you make a good point.

Erin

Maybe there is a smidgen of hope.
