Christopher Bollyn was interviewed by CNN this afternoon ( Topic.. the Crimes of 911) at our Public Library. This insightful and engaging Interview should be broadcast later this week on CNN. If someone here could record this interview and then post it on You Tube.. it would be greatly appreciated. P.H. was "allowed" to bring camcorder to the Interview.. but was asked not to record. An Audio of the complete interview may be available at a later time.. Stay Tuned.. Christopher hits this Topic .. OUT of the Park w/ CNN.. Oh.. and if you haven't guessed .. the Anti-Semitic/ sideways slander was raised at least five times during the Interview.. Christopher countered well by making clear the difference between a Jew, a Christian.. and those nasty Globe Grabbing Zionists.. Signing Off for Now, P.H. P.S. Helje was there too, making sure Christopher looked his best (TV camera lights are hot) and putting him at ease.. Kudos and well done to both of these very special Local (and World Trotting) Hero's.

CNN Interviews Christopher Bollyn, 9/11 Researcher CNN sent a team from New York City to Chicago to interview Christopher Bollyn, 9/11 researcher and independent journalist, at the Schaumburg Township District Library on January 23, 2007. Bollyn was interviewed for more than two hours by reporter Deborah Feyerick for a piece being produced by Sheila Steffen. The segment is expected to air at the end of the current week. Bollyn was told that the section of the program with his comments should be about 3 and a half minutes in length. The CNN interviewers were very interested in knowing why Bollyn did not believe the official version. They were also keenly interested in why he thinks agents of the state of Israel were involved in the terror attacks on the World Trade Center. THE ODIGO WARNINGS Bollyn explained that the fact that Israel-based employees of Odigo had received instant text messages warning of the WTC attacks hours before they occurred and that these warnings had been accurate "to the minute" indicated that some Israelis (including employees of the Mossad-linked company) had clearly been forewarned. "To have prior knowledge of a crime like 9/11 indicates involvement," Bollyn said. Odigo had its U.S. headquarters a few blocks from the twin towers of the WTC. Had the Odigo warnings of an imminent attack been passed on to the authorities in New York City, thousands of lives could have been saved. The CNN team was also very interested in the 5 "dancing Israelis" who were arrested in New Jersey after having been observed videotaping and celebrating the attacks on the twin towers. Bollyn explained that he had investigated the story of the dancing Israelis through Paolo Lima, the New Jersey-based reporter who had followed the story in the days after 9/11. When it was reported by Lima in 2001 that the 5 men, who pretended to be movers, were Israeli citizens who had been caught with a van that tested positive for explosives, multiple passports, thousands of dollars in cash, and box cutters, Bollyn raised the question that they could be working for Israeli intelligence. The men also reportedly had been wearing Middle Eastern clothing to give the appearance that they were Arabs. Months later, Urban Moving Systems, the fake moving company that the men "worked" for was exposed to be a Mossad front company based on information provided to the Forward newspaper of New York City. Dominic Suter, the head of the Weehawken, NJ-based Mossad front company, fled the United States immediately after 9/11 before the FBI could interview him. After being released from U.S. custody, the 5 Israeli agents returned to Israel where they appeared on a popular television show and openly explained that their "purpose" had been sent to "document the event." This admission certainly indicates prior knowledge of the attacks, which is proof of involvement. See: "The Likud Criminal Gang Behind 9/11 and the War on Terror" http://www.iamthewitness.com/Bollyn-Olmert-23Dec2006.html Here is the video excerpt of the Israelis' admission on TV: http://www.iamthewitness.com/video/ForBollynsSpeech11Nov2006_DancingIsra elis.wmv The CNN interviewer repeatedly asked Bollyn, "Who did it?" Bollyn responded, "I wish I knew," and described the 9/11 terror attack as "an unsolved crime." He explained that he does not speculate and works from evidence and information he comes across. Most recently, for example, he has been investigating the evidence that Thermate was used in the World Trade Center attack and demolitions. The CNN program will also include interviews with critics of Bollyn from the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and the Southern Poverty Law Center. The ADL, for example, has often labeled Bollyn as an anti-Semite, which is not true. ZIONISM vs JUDAISM Knowing that the mainstream media is generally hostile to 9/11 skeptics and independent researchers, Bollyn, a scholar of Middle Eastern history, explained that there is a fundamental difference between Zionism and Judaism. "There are Jews who are not Zionists and there are Zionists who are not Jews," he said. If elements of Israeli intelligence were involved in the attacks of 9/11, he said, that would be very unfortunate but it should have no bearing on innocent Jews anywhere in the world. The state of Israel claims to represent the Jews of the world, whether they support Zionism or not. Bollyn, who has lived in Israel and the Middle East, explained that while elements of the Israeli state appear to have been involved in the events of 9/11, they are from the most extreme right-wing group of revisionist Zionism. Many of the current officials in the government of the state of Israel are the sons and daughters of the terrorist Irgun organization of Vladimir Jabotinsky, the people who first brought terrorism to the Middle East and the world stage in the 1940s. Asked why 9/11 would have been done by Zionists, Bollyn said that as the "New Pearl Harbor," 9/11 had been carried out to sway public opinion and usher in the on-going War on Terror. This so-called War on Terror, he said, was first promoted publicly by the former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in his book, Terrorism: How the West Can Win, in 1986. The current U.S. military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan are exactly what Netanyahu called for in his book. The Bush administration has followed the agenda of Netanyahu's war on terror in the Middle East to the letter since coming to office in 2001. This policy, Bollyn said, is disastrous for the U.S., the region, world peace, and ultimately, even for the Jews. Ehud Olmert, the current Israeli prime minister, is a financial crook and a war criminal, Bollyn said. He was the co-defendant, with Menachem Atzmon, in a criminal financial scheme to raise funds in the United States and elsewhere for the Likud party when he was treasurer of the party in the late 1980s. While both men were involved in the scheme, Atzmon was convicted while Olmert was acquitted. Olmert went on to become the mayor of Jerusalem while Atzmon became a "security expert" at U.S. and European airports as the CEO of his "security" company, International Consultants of Targeted Security (ICTS). On 9/11, Olmert's old political ally and co-defendant Atzmon was the owner of Huntleigh USA, the company that provided passenger screening and security services at Boston's Logan airport and the airport of Newark, New Jersey. See: "The Israeli Prime Minister's Connection to 9/11" http://www.iamthewitness.com/Bollyn-Olmert-22Dec2006.html While Bollyn's comments to CNN will certainly be drastically edited, he sincerely hopes and expects that CNN will not distort his opinions or allow him to be smeared as an anti-Semite. - Christopher Bollyn

thanks for the info. for many Americans their mentality is very stupid as follows - when someone like bollyn writes an article telling about the 5 dancing israelis (or any subject) and the article is published in some non-mainstream sources, then it is a conspiracy theory or a joke or a kook report or anti-american. but then when bollyn speaks the story on their CNN cable tv, then all of a sudden the story is true and they are so concerned over it and if the CNN journalist speaks somberly about it, then they stress over it. for many Americans tv is reality.

The more corrupt the state, the more numerous the laws. – Tacitus
We have all heard some absolutely incredible 9/11 conspiracy theories. The web of course is full of them. But tonight we're bringing one out that feeds on racism out in the open. We were absolutely shocked by one recent poll that found out that one in every three Americans believe the terror attacks were not the work of America's enemies, but some sort of inside job. And Deborah Feyerick found a smaller percentage who believe an even uglier theory. (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) UNIDENTIFIED MALE: This 9/11 attack was not by 19 Arabs. It was not by Muslims. DEBORAH FEYERICK, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice- over): They talk about a Jewish plot. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Everywhere you look you find a Zionist agent. FEYERICK: A conspiracy by Zionist Israeli intelligence or by Zionist moles in the Bush administration allegedly calling the shots in the Middle East. Websites, magazines, documentaries, radio programs, dozens of them disputing the fact that al Qaeda was behind the 9/11 attacks. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It was done by a group of Zionists. FEYERICK: Are you suggesting that al Qaeda had nothing to do with it, that this was all part of a large conspiracy, Zionist or otherwise? CHRISTOPHER BOLLYN, WRITER: Al Qaeda is in my opinion -- has been exploited. I question whether such a group even exists. FEYERICK: Chicago writer Christopher Bollyn is one of the conspiracy theorists. BOLLYN: I believe that there are Israeli elements that are connected to the Mossad, that are involved in this attack. FEYERICK: There's no physical evidence to support claims that Jews were behind 9/11, but the speculation and rumors, mostly discounted here in the U.S., have gained momentum in Muslim countries where they're discussed and believed. Deborah Lauder is with the Jewish run Anti-Defamation League. DEBORAH LAUTER, ANTI-DEFAMATION LEAGUE: What's most puzzling is when it reaches the Internet and goes into the Muslim-Arab world, we have this cross-fertilization of hate and this is something we've never seen before. FEYERICK: A whole web of beliefs has grown to support this conspiracy theory. Listen to these Americans interviewed on Iranian television. VOICE OF ERIC HUFSCHMID: This is a big plot to take control of us, to start war. FEYERICK: One of the beliefs is that some 4,000 Israelis or Jews in the New York City area were warned by instant messages not to go to work on 9/11. For Wilton Sekzer, a retired police sergeant who is Jewish, the claim is outrageous. WILTON SEKZER, FATHER OF WTC 9/11 VICTIM: The remains consistent of a piece of bone two and a half inches long and about an inch long, about the size of your index finger. FEYERICK: And that's all they ever found? SEKZER: That's all they ever found. FEYERICK: Sekzer's son Jason died in the towers. He says Jason received no warning. Neither did some 400 Jews who died in the tragedy. SEKZER: Give me the names of the 4,000 Jews who stayed home. Show me something. There is nothing to show. This is a total, ridiculous, asinine rumor that was started by anti- Semites. MARK POTOK, SOUTHERN POVERTY LAW CENTER: I think the conspiracy theories in general really do work a bit like a game of telephone. They are told and retold and tend to get more and more far out in the telling. FEYERICK: When you imply that somehow Israelis were involved in the attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, people are going to look at you, critics will say you are an anti- Semite. Are you? BOLLYN: No, I'm not an anti-Semite. This is the main charge that's leveled against me and has been for years, even before 9/11, because I am a critic of Zionist policies. LAUTER: That's a very common technique among anti-Semites. They will twist things. I'm not an anti-Semite. I just believe XYZ. FEYERICK: Anti-Semitic or not, the question now, will this 9/11 conspiracy theory become like the Kennedy assassination, analyzed for generations as an unsolved mystery? Deborah Feyerick, CNN, New York. (END VIDEOTAPE) ZAHN: Time to check with our out in the open panel. I'm sure they have plenty to say about this. Lauren, Michael, Deroy, welcome back. All right. So let's start with the resident Jew on our panel here. You hear this stuff and it just makes you sick to your stomach. There is absolutely no evidence that anybody, other than al Qaeda, was involved with this attack. How upsetting is this to you? GROSS: Look, we've been kicked around for 2,000 years. The face you're looking at has got a lot of anger in it because of that. That's not a way to live, wandering around the globe never having a home. It's pretty difficult because every time there's trouble, we're scapegoated. We're not the only ones that are scapegoated, but we're scapegoated by people who are frightened. They don't care. They are paranoid. You can't debunk this theory. It's madness as well as idiocy to think that the Jews brought down the World Trade Center on 9/11, but you cannot argue logic to someone who is mentally ill. What frightens me is that the whole nation is frightened and that fear is being fueled by this administration and by the media -- not you, just the opposite. I congratulate you and I'm grateful for you seriously, to bring this stuff out, because it is in those times that Jews like other minorities better get scared, better get angry, better fight for what's right and try and convince people courage is the cure for paranoia, not racism. ZAHN: Is this just a smear campaign for anti- Semites? MURDOCK: I agree with Michael. The blame the Jews theme is something that goes back about 2,000 years. It's a really hardy varietal. But look, I mean we know who pulled off 9/11. Richard Minard (ph) writes about it in his book, the disinformation. He quotes directly from Osama bin Laden who says on a tape we found, we calculated an advanced the number of casualties from the enemy who would be killed based on the position of the tower. We had notification since the previous Thursday that the event would take place that day, unquote, says Osama bin Laden himself. (CROSSTALK) LAKE: We have a government that has led us into a war and most Americans, even the smartest of us, sit around and go why, again, are we here in the war? When there are blanks, we often fill in the blanks and those blanks are filled in by misinformation, urban legends. We create stories and people believe things. ZAHN: You're talking about a very unpopular war. We're talking about 9/11. LAKE: What I'm talking about is the war is based upon what our government told us, this fear that we have from 9/11. GROSS: This will get worse as the unrest in the Middle East gets worse. This problem will not go away. The reason it wasn't go away is because we don't have an administration as we once did that said and counseled us, we have nothing to fear but fear itself. We have just the opposite. We have an administration that fuels fear, that puts up the sign every day that tells us be frightened, stay scared, be worried, and so we are suspicious. We are xenophobic and we don't like anybody that's different from us. ZAHN: How concerned are you that these conspiracy theories will take even deeper hold? MURDOCK: Look, I think it's entirely possible. The kind of people who are spreading this sort of stuff will continue to blame the Jews for anything that can go wrong. I think it's very important as this war on terror continues to point out exactly who the bad guys are which are Islamo-fascists who want you, you, you and me dead and want people dead around the country and they're engaged in tremendous violence, killing thousands all around the world starting even before 9/11. The '93 attack, the attack on the U.S.S. Cole. This is a really serious enemy and we need to identify it and we need to educate people. (CROSSTALK) LAKE: That's my point. There are reasons why people are open to belief theories and these reasons will not change unless our government more actively works to inform us of what the real truth is so people are not just playing guessing games. ZAHN: Lauren Lake, Michael Gross, Deroy Murdock, fascinating discussion. Your anger was palpable during that piece as well. Well understood. Larry king live is coming up just in a few minutes. Hey Larry. You're going to talk to the owners of Barbaro tonight? LARRY KING, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Yeah, well, who wouldn't be angry with that last story? ZAHN: I know. I know, but it's astonishing, wasn't it, the statistic that one in three Americans believe not that particular conspiracy theory, but one of many? KING: The old Goebbels theory, you tell a lie long enough, more people will believe it.

It was a hit piece. Bollyn is very knowledgeable and I am sure in the unedited version of the interview he was allowed to put some facts on the table. My guess is Bollyn was feeling satisfied that he made the case and then started giving answers like: CHRISTOPHER BOLLYN, WRITER: Al Qaeda is in my opinion -- has been exploited. I question whether such a group even exists. FEYERICK: Chicago writer Christopher Bollyn is one of the conspiracy theorists. BOLLYN: I believe that there are Israeli elements that are connected to the Mossad, that are involved in this attack. -------------------------------------------------- Hopefully,Bollyn and others can learn from this example. Bollyn had an opportunity to get the facts out to a wider audience,but instead he played the role of useful idiot with his "in my opinion", "I believe" comments. He should have stuck to the facts in every response realizing the interview would be heavily edited. For example, instead of answering a question with something like ,Israelis had advance warning, he should have answered each question with a specific example: "Odigo employees received an advance warning of the WTC attack," then describe the specifics. "The state owned Israeli shipping company Zim abandoned a lease in the WTC days before the attack",then provide the specifics handing the interviewer a copy of the documentation. "According to the New York Times, the Israelis were setup to videotape the attack before the first impact, here is the exact quote and here is a copy of the NY Times article." "Here is a copy of the B.O.L.O, be on the look out, law enforcement issued for the Israelis, confirming the Israelis were setup prior to the first impact." "The very first suspects arrested and detained by law enforcement in connection with the WTC attack were Israelis, here is the article describing the arrest."
"Odigo employees received an advance warning of the WTC attack," then describe the specifics. That's good advice, but I won't fault him for saying "I believe" or "In my opinion". It makes him sound more reasonable, IMO ;)

Please see reply #6. Instead of: He should have said: Allow me to read this quote written by former British Foreign Minister Robin Cook,shortly before his untimely death: "Throughout the 80s he was armed by the CIA and funded by the Saudis to wage jihad against the Russian occupation of Afghanistan. Al- Qaida, literally "the database", was originally the computer file of the thousands of mujahideen who were recruited and trained with help from the CIA to defeat the Russians. "
Did you see the hit piece on CNN? The editting made Bollyn and all those that consider his views credible look like idiots.
america's enemies and some sort of inside job are one and the same.

america's enemies and some sort of inside job are one and the same. Good point. Clearly the terror attacks were the work of America's enemies.
http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0701/30/pzn.01.html Is this it? That is it. They did not allow Bollyn to include one single fact. I am sure he had hours worth of facts to share. You would have to actually see the video to see how clearly the objective of the hit piece was achieved.
hell no, people in the know consider the source...CNN merely confirmed the rationalizations of the 28%...their and faux news' listening audience.
