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.
All of my calls were about 9/11 related, except for the calls to the Embassy
and local consulate of Israel. These were standard journalistic inquiries
about Israel casualties and losses in Lebanon. The Embassy press department
didn't like my questions, but I told them it's my job. I wanted to know
about the number of dead and wounded and if 60 Merkava tanks had been taken
out, as Hezbollah claims.
Then I also asked where exactly the two Israeli soldiers had been abducted.
I told them that there were at least 15 newswire stories that said the
soldiers had been captured in the Lebanese village of Aitaa al-Shaab
inside Lebanon. He was surprised to hear that, too.
Apart from my un-disclosable investigation, the other calls were about how
Jacob "Kobi" Alexander was able to flee with more than $60 million dollars
last week, several months after it was public knowledge that he and the
other Israelis working with Comverse Technology, Ltd. had swindled hundred
of millions through fraudulent stock options trades. This has been going on
for years, and The Wall Street Journal and Globes (Israel) reported the
names and the amounts last March. For crying out loud, my newspaper,
American Free Press, reported it in April 2005.
I wanted to know from the SEC and the U.S. Attorney's office how this Kobi
Alexander was able to wire $60 million to his account in Israel and flee New
York without any body stopping him. "If I wired $5 million to Norway the
whole NSA and FBI would be all over me," I said.
The U.S. Attorney's office said they "expect" Kobi will turn himself in.
Note to the wise: Don't count on it.
Kobi Alexander was one of the owners and developers of Odigo software which
allowed Israelis to communicate instantly on 9/11. It was via the "buddy
system" on Odigo software, which allows one to communicate to a large group
of people that share a trait, such as the Hebrew language, that thousands of
Israelis were warned not to go to the twin towers on 9/11.
Kobi Alexander's Mossad-linked company, Comverse Technology, was a developer
and owner of Odigo since early 2000, something The New York Times does not
consider to be part of "All the News that's Fit to Print." Comverse makes a
black box system called the "Audio Disk" that police, intelligence and
security agencies, and governments around the world, have attached to their
phone networks. This simple device allows the Israeli employees of Comverse
back in Tel Aviv to hear and intercept all the data being exchanged by these
naive agencies...everything.
Hello...?
I had finished all of my calls and watched the first part of the Lou Dobb's
news program on CNN and was on my way to the store, when I stepped out on
the stoop and saw this threatening dark car full of obvious agents of some
sort. I immediately warned my wife and kids and rode the bike to the store.
Something is not right, I said to myself, and I stopped at the local wine
shop and asked to use the phone. I called 911 and told them that a strange
car with armed men is driving around my neighborhood for no apparent reason.
I was told that a police car would meet me at my house in 20 minutes.
I was just in my house a few minutes when the very same suspicious car
stopped in front of my house and three armor-clad men stood on my driveway.
I had just been calling the police department and put down the phone. I was
more than a little surprised to see these armor-clad thugs on my driveway.
My wife and 8-year old daughter were already there and I asked these men who
they were and why they were harassing my street. Why are you driving around
with this unmarked car around my house, I asked? Who are you, anyway? They
were not at all willing to identify themselves and were very
confrontational, to say the least.
I ran to my front door to call my brother when the three of them tackled me
and shocked me with some sort of stun-gun. The three men then sat on me and
pushed my face in the dirt, handcuffed me and put me in their car.
Remember, I had called 911 because of a suspicious car in my neighborhood, a
neighborhood I have known since 1957, when my parents helped found this
town.
I have two small children, after all, and this car looked very threatening
to me. This is what I call my normal neighborhood obligations, but I
discovered that they are actually watching us. They even joked about it at
the station later. "We are watching you," they said.
It should be noted that my neighborhood does not have any crime or gangs or
anything of that nature that would warrant an undercover squad to patrol
around my house day after day. This is why it is so suspicious. And why are
they patrolling around my house?
As they pummeled me, my wife was pleading for me and my daughter was crying.
I really wanted my brother, my neighbors, and my son to come help me but
before even one minute had passed there were dozens of cops and firemen in
my front yard.
Where did they all come from so quickly? How were so many police in my
neighborhood at the same time? This is most unusual, as Hoffman Estates is
spread out all over northwest Cook County, but there were at least 5 squad
cars and at least 10 officers in my front yard within one minute of my being
beaten up on my lawn.
Sitting in the squad car with handcuffs on is when the private abuse began.
Officer Fitzgerald indulged in offending me, my late mother, a village
pioneer, and then threatened to beat me.
When another officer came to the car, he told me that this guy was going to
beat the ---- out of me. When I repeated what he said word for word, he
would say, "I didn't say that."
He then started to drive me to the station, which is about three miles away
from the old village center where I live. Bombarded with continuous verbal
abuse, when I would say something from the back-seat he would slam on the
brakes so that my head hit the plexi-glass separation window. Typical
Chicago cop torture treatment; rough the guy up on the way to the station.
This is exactly the kind of thing that I ran against when I ran for mayor of
this town in 2001.
I decided to lean back on the seat and not say another word.
When we got to the station, there was a host of white-gloved cops waiting
for me in the police garage. When Officer Fitzgerald drove in to the garage,
he told the 10-12 waiting cops: "He says cops are a bunch of .. You can take
care of him now."
When they took me out, I informed them that I am a journalist and will write
about their treatment. The verbal abuse now came from all sides. They told
me I should get out of town, etc. I told them that my dear parents had
founded Hoffman Estates, but they didn't care.
When I was in the station they forcibly stripped off my belt and tore of my
shirt leaving me clad only in shorts and undershirt. I asked why I was being
detained and they told me that I had resisted arrest and threatened the
police with my fists, two complete lies.
I was never the subject of any arrest. I had called to police to report a
suspicious vehicle driving around my home!
I was thrown into a cell with no water. I asked for a drink of water and was
told, "Drink from the toilet."
Why am I being treated this way, I wondered?
At midnight, an officer came to my cell and asked if I could pay $100 to get
out. What I am being charged with, I asked? I called the police and they
beat me up in my front yard, I protested.
What did I do to deserve that?
My older brother had posted bail and shortly after midnight, I was pushed
out onto the street with a good two-mile walk home.
I am shocked at how I was treated, because although my journalism gets me
into trouble with police in many places, I have never been treated so
brutally in my life. I honestly believe this brutal treatment is connected
to my 9/11 research.
I intend to seek asylum in Norway or Switzerland. I can read the writing on
the wall.
Investigative journalists are not safe in Iraq or the United States.

| Title: US Gov't Wiretapping: Unconstitutional |

Federal judge orders end to wiretap program
Justice Department appeals ruling; White House strongly opposes move
Aug. 17: A federal judge ruled the government’s wiretapping program is
unconstitutional.
NBC’s Rosiland Jordan reports.
MSNBC News Services
Updated: 3:52 p.m. ET Aug 17, 2006
DETROIT - A federal judge ruled Thursday that the government’s warrantless
wiretapping program is unconstitutional and ordered an immediate halt to it.
The White House said it “couldn't disagree” more with the ruling.
U.S. District Judge Anna Diggs Taylor in Detroit became the first judge to
strike down the National Security Agency’s program, which she says violates
the rights to free speech and privacy as well as the separation of powers
enshrined in the Constitution.
“Plaintiffs have prevailed, and the public interest is clear, in this
matter. It is the upholding of our Constitution,” Taylor wrote in her
43-page opinion.
The U.S. Justice Department appealed the ruling and issued a statement
saying the program is “an essential tool for the intelligence community in
the war on terror.”
“In the ongoing conflict with al-Qaida and its allies, the president has the
primary duty under the Constitution to protect the American people,” the
department said. “The Constitution gives the president the full authority
necessary to carry out that solemn duty, and we believe the program is
lawful and protects civil liberties.”
White House spokesman Tony Snow said the Bush administration's “Terrorist
Surveillance Program” is “firmly grounded in law and regularly reviewed to
make sure steps are taken to protect civil liberties.”
The ruling won't take immediate effect so Taylor can hear a Justice
Department request for a stay pending its appeal.
‘Checks and balances’
The American Civil Liberties Union filed the lawsuit on behalf of
journalists, scholars and lawyers who say the program has made it difficult
for them to do their jobs. They believe many of their overseas contacts are
likely targets of the program, which involves wiretapping conversations
between people in the U.S. and those in other countries.
The government argued that the program is well within the president’s
authority, but said proving that would require revealing state secrets.
The ACLU said the state-secrets argument was irrelevant because the Bush
administration already had publicly revealed enough information about the
program for Taylor to rule.
“At its core, today’s ruling addresses the abuse of presidential power and
reaffirms the system of checks and balances that’s necessary to our
democracy,” ACLU executive director Anthony Romero told reporters after the
ruling.
He called the opinion “another nail in the coffin in the Bush
administration’s legal strategy in the war on terror.”
One ruling against ACLU
While siding with the ACLU on the wiretapping issue, Taylor dismissed a
separate claim by the group over NSA data-mining of phone records. She said
not enough had been publicly revealed about that program to support the
claim and further litigation would jeopardize state secrets.
The lawsuit alleged that the NSA “uses artificial intelligence aids to
search for keywords and analyze patterns in millions of communications at
any given time.” Multiple lawsuits have been filed related to data-mining
against phone companies, accusing them of improperly turning over records to
the NSA.
However, the data-mining was only a small part of the Detroit suit, said Ann
Beeson, the ACLU’s associate legal director and the lead attorney on the
case.
Beeson predicted the government would appeal the wiretapping ruling and
request that the order to halt the program be postponed while the case makes
its way through the system. She said the ACLU had not yet decided whether it
would oppose such a postponement.
