Newspaper Fires Stephenville Writer

Posted by admin on February 12, 2008

As you may know, the biggest news on the Texas sightings was made public by a courageous writer for the Empire Tribune newspaper, the only paper in the small community of Stephenville. Angelia Joiner’s articles were picked up by the major news outlets, and brought her newspaper record-breaking figures for the month of January. Angela did not just hit and run, she stayed with the story, doggedly sought out witnesses, and reported her eagerly awaited follow-ups on a regular basis.

As she gained more and more information from the eyewitness, she discovered something: some of the witnesses were being intimidated and threatened to keep their information to themselves. This was an extremely important find, and she told it like it was. Her information has filled the Net with blogs and comments on this “men-in-black” scenario.

The newspapers kept rolling off the presses, but something was wrong. She had gone too far. I was talking to her about a week ago about another matter, and she dropped a bombshell on me. She was leaving the paper on February 14. I didn’t even have to ask why. When her reports on witness harassment and intimidation went public, there were some people in high places that were very upset. To make a long story short, she didn’t even make it to the 14th. She was gone on in a matter of days, her computer confiscated. She was told her stories were an embarrassment to the paper.

It seems strange that they didn’t say a thing about “being embarrassed” when the advertisements were rolling in, and the presses were running overtime. I want to refer you to an article that will give you the full story on her dismissal. The information was gathered and presented by my good friend Michael, who is a serious, level-headed student of Ufology.

A lot of folks are writing the paper, and professing their dismay with the actions of the Empire Tribune. All of the email contact information is listed in Michael’s article. Here is a chance to make your voice heard.

I will also report on an upcoming blog exactly what Angelia and I were talking about. This involves even more intimidation, and her and I are discussing how to break a story that I was privy to that involved direct government harassment. Check back Wednesday for this report. Voice your comments on these events, and let me know what you think about what has happened to Angelia. Watch this Friday’s blog.
