Christopher Bollyn, an anti-Semitic conspiracy theorist who
focuses on the 9–11 attacks, reportedly will be making several
appearances at 9–11 events in California. Bollyn was one of the
earliest promoters of anti-Semitic 9–11 theories blaming Israel
and Jews for the attacks.
On September 11, Bollyn will have a table at the “9–11 Truth Film
Festival” in Oakland. Two days later, on September 13,
California attorney Bruce Leichty will host Bollyn at an event in
San Dimas. Bollyn will also speak on September 14 at an event hosted
in San Diego, sponsored by San Diegans for 9/11 Truth.
The San Dimas event is particularly troubling due to the host
behind the event. Leichty is a problematic figure who has defended a
number of Holocaust deniers, including Ernst Zundel,
who is imprisoned in Germany for denying the Holocaust. Leichty
also represented 9–11 widow Ellen Mariani in lawsuits against
various entities she held accountable for her husband’s death. In
motion papers, Leichty apparently used research from Bollyn to make
spurious accusations against a Jewish judge on the case. In May
2012, the United States Court of Appeals sanctioned Leichty and
Mariani for making frivolous arguments before the court and also
highlighted the anti-Semitism reflected in the papers filed by Leichty.
In addition to hosting this event, Leichty and Bollyn have other
connections, as well. A September 7 press release about the San
Dimas event states that Bollyn “served as chair of the Ellen Mariani
Legal Defense Fund” and that Leichty believes that Bollyn is doing
“ground-breaking work that no one else is doing” around the issue
of 9–11.
Bollyn has focused most of his research on 9–11 and has continued
to make the claim that the terrorist attacks were orchestrated by
Israel and the Jews. In Bollyn’s 2012 book, Solving 9–11: The Deception that Changed the World,
he writes, “The ‘false flag’ terrorism of 9–11 is a monstrous
Jewish-Zionist crime of our time. The true culprits of this heinous
crime are clearly being protected by a gang of like-minded Jewish
Zionists in the highest positions of the U.S. government….”
Bollyn has also written numerous other articles on his website
that accuse Jews of controlling the media and government.
Bollyn has attended Holocaust denial conferences in the U.S. and one
in Russia in 2002. He is a former writer for the anti-Semitic
conspiracy-oriented newspaper American Free Press and its predecessor, The Spotlight, both published by anti-Semite and Holocaust denier Willis Carto. American Free Press fired Bollyn in 2006, after accusing him of submitting false stories and of disloyalty to the paper.
In 2007, Bollyn was found guilty of misdemeanor aggravated
assault and resisting arrest, after a confrontation with police
officers in front of his home in the Chicago area. He never appeared
for sentencing and has since is presumed to be living in Europe with
his wife, a Swedish citizen, and children.
