If you think the 2016 Olympic bid is a terrible idea, join us at http://www.nogameschicago.com!
Hey Tom,
First off, while I'm a little wishy washy on the Olympics and protest culture in general, I wanted to commend your moxie in heading out there. Your trip sounded lonely and dispiriting at times, despite being punctuated by some exciting conversations with press and IOC officials. Good stuff.
Second, I noticed the piece doesn't have any comments. How can that be? The Huffington Post supposedly has millions of readers.
Might I suggest taking one more trip through the story to shorten it down? I did my darnedest to make it all the way through, but by the time I hit "Saturday," I was a little worn out. You could probably chop it down to about 66% and have 90% of the information still get across to more people.
Either that or attach some bullet points or a summary to the top for folks who are skimmers.
Just realized the sections were in reverse chronological order. That threw me off a bit. I was reading it as a sequential account of your time over there.
Hi - thanks for the comments. It took me all this time to get the story together - we've been busy going to every one of the 2016 community meetings. The story is a bit long, but I felt it should be archived somewhere as no print outlet here ever interviewed us or expressed the slightest interest in who we are, why we went or the sacrifices entailed in going to Switzerland. We continue to be the only group interrogating the 2016 scam. We just released our own review of the the Civic Federation 2016 report - headline = "No confidence."

What happens in Switzerland, stays in Switzerland? UBS private banking clients found out otherwise.
