With my wife and 8-year old daughter beside me, I went into my yard and asked the men who they were and why they were loitering around my house.

“Why are you driving around with this gear and unmarked car menacing our neighborhood,” I asked? “Who are you?”

The non-uniformed agents were unwilling to identify themselves or to address my concerns and maintained a hostile and confrontational attitude throughout.

Seeking the support of my brother, I turned to my house when the three men tackled me and used a Taser gun to shock me into submission.

After violently subduing me, one officer knelt on my head and another on my arm, as I was handcuffed.

Within two minutes, at least a half-dozen police cars, two fire trucks, and 15 police officers, including a senior officer, had arrived at the Bollyn residence.

While I was being held down, my wife went to get a camera. An officer told her that she would be arrested if she dared to take any photos. However, according to a lawyer, it is illegal to prevent someone from photographing a police assault.

Having witnessed her father being violently arrested, my 8-year-old daughter was very distraught and crying. The police ordered my wife to take her away.

As the Bollyn children have seen much of the world and witnessed major political events in their lives, my wife simply consoled our daughter and allowed her to watch the abuse of police power, saying, “This is our new America.”

“Go back where you came from,” a police officer, in a most insulting manner, told my wife, a Swedish citizen.

I was thrown into a cell without water. When I asked the undercover police unit why they had been prowling around my house, they said, “We are watching you.”

Thirsty, I asked for some water and was told, “Drink from the toilet.”

“Why am I being treated this way?” I wondered.

Later, an officer named Schultz came to tell me that because I had been shocked with a Taser gun, paramedics had been called to check me. However, no paramedics came to check me or to look at my injured elbow. At midnight, an officer told me that I had to pay $100 to get out. “What am I being charged with?” I protested. “I called 911 and the police beat me up in my front yard for no reason.”

My brother paid my bail and shortly after midnight I was pushed out onto the dark streets for the long walk home.

2006-10-19: 9-11 Investigative Journalist Harassed And Beaten By Undercover Cops

Det er inte bare i Norge at polisen utøver grov vold mot 9/11-journalister. Kanskje Sverige snart får Christopher Bollyn som medborgare? Jag har ihvertfall inte hatt noen problemer med polisen etter jeg flyktet fra Norge til Sverige for ca. 3 måneder siden...

Av det jeg har lest Christopher skrive på http://www.libertyforum.org/ fikk jeg inntrykk av at han har planer om å prøve å flykte fra USA.

Christopher skriver for http://www.americanfreepress.net/ - en meget bra avis. (Noen interessert i AmericanFreePress? Hvis nok vil ha kan kanskje jeg eller miro kjøpe inn og distribuere i Sverige, koster bare 34 cents pr stk +porto ved kjøp av 100 eks av hver utgave)
