Nice to see you back safely. I was concerned.

This is an official followup question: Which police precinct visited you?

When a newspaper reports on an individual, and then that individual
immediately thereafter is "persecuted, harrased, the offices of the NF"
visited by the police, that matter has to be investigated. Being a
journalist yourself, you understand this. (I would have asked in private
email, but I figured I'd save our servers some wear and tear on our servers
and just post directly to the list.)

Harrassment of the press -- even a small press -- is an extremely big deal
crime in bourgeois societies like the US, regardless if "masked" in other
political/immigration "rationale". You could have _hundreds of thousands_ of
supporters help you out, thereby guaranteeing no damage could come to
yourself (well, easily come to yourself), thereby guaranteeing your
publication stay alive.

And.... even more... If a story that appeared on the Internet somehow
resulted in actual police harassment -- as you hint at -- whoa! That is most
definitely a BIG STORY! The lawyers from the ACLU and Electronic Frontier
Foundation would certainly like to make a national case out of it!

I will pass along your plea for help to reps from those organizations...

So, just two questions, as followups to the story which mentioned your fine
website:

1. Please provide some details so we can expose this police persecution.
Which precinct is behind this? (You do say police.) Which officer led the
"visit"? What was his badge number? Surely, you at least have his name.

2. What do you mean by "persecuted"? Are they following you around? Call you
at all hours? Stakeout your home? These are all forms of persecution. Are
you saying they are doing that? Are they causing you to flee through
bathroom windows and get driven to the airport late at night?

I could call on my own, if you prefer... although that would mean having to
call local precincts randomly, or maybe go through whatever central body
rules NYC. Please advise. (I will not call, if that is your wish.) However,
confirmation of facts is essential to reportage.

Thanks for your understanding!

Ken.
