      <p>Skolnick COMMENTARY #012
========================</p>
      <p>[CfD Editor -- I neither necessarily believe nor disbelieve
either all or portions of the following.]</p>
      <p>[The following is a transcript of a recorded phone message put
out by a group in Chicago called "Citizens' Committee to Clean Up
the Courts." (312) 731-1100 and (312) 731-1505.]</p>
      <p>Hi! Sherman Skolnick, Citizens' Committee to Clean Up the Courts,
9800 South Oglesby.</p>
      <p>The very rich and powerful are not given to moist-eyed emotion.
They can hold a Christmas party, for example, for their devoted
workers and smile on them. And then, a few days later, dismiss a
bunch of them and tell their brutal security guards to throw the
workers off the premises in one hour.</p>
      <p>Fearing a labor dispute, the *Chicago Tribune* put attack dogs to
terrorize the printing workers in the Trib's "Freedom Center."
(With the smashing of the union, by the way, it's called "Slavery
Center.")</p>
      <p>Likewise so, when the ultra-rich deal with their mannequins,
labelled "President of the United States." President Lincoln was
assassinated a few days after the end of the Civil War. His post-war policy was to go easy on the South. So, agriculture would
have resumed amid plummeting prices. The very rich, including the
Rothschilds, had huge commodities speculations to the contrary.
To some, bringing the South back [into the Union] was treason.
So, they had Lincoln's brains blown out and blamed a "lone nut."</p>
      <p>The ultra-rich and their top military and CIA hawks accused
President Kennedy of treason in denying U.S. air cover at the
aborted invasion of Cuba at the Bay of Pigs; also, for JFK
planning detente with the Soviets. Yet JFK was popular with the
common people. Nevertheless, his brains were blown out in an open
car with military-style triangulation firing. A "lone nut" was
blamed, and himself murdered.</p>
      <p>As you can see, the very rich are not sentimental.</p>
      <p>The ultra rich (and again, with their trusted CIA and military
retainers) accused President Nixon of treason in his dealings
with North Vietnam. Also, he wanted to be an imperial president,
blackmailing CIA with his knowledge of the CIA murdering JFK.</p>
      <p>Blowing his brains out in an open car would be messy, so, ahead
of the 1972 re-election of "Tricky Dick," CIA double-agents got
themselves caught at the Watergate Hotel -- owned by the Pope.</p>
      <p>All to finger Nixon. (Some details are in the book *Silent Coup*
by Colodny(sp?)).</p>
      <p>Nixon was so popular he won re-election in 49 of the 50 states.
Yet, shortly thereafter began the Watergate bombardment. The
press so ran after him he couldn't hold press conferences!</p>
      <p>And, just at the height of *his* popularity, the press is
mounting *their* "Whitewater-gate" blitz, against Clinton. Some
of his schemes on health care endanger large insurance companies
-- like Prudential, owned by the British royal family.</p>
      <p>Funny thing: What the press trumpets of the rich are accusing
Clinton are true enough.</p>
      <p>Yes, he and his wife committed financial crimes in ripping off
$47 million through Arkansas S&amp;L and others.</p>
      <p>Yes, Bill and Hillary, to try to save themselves from prison,
covered up the murder of White House aide Vincent Foster.</p>
      <p>And yes, the ultra rich contend privately that Clinton committed
treason in aborting a *genuine* CIA plot to murder Iraqi
strongman Saddam Hussein, a sworn enemy of the United States, on
July 17, 1993. And two days later, Clinton chopping off the head
of FBI director Sessions because he was investigating Clinton's
"treason." And on July 20, Foster was murdered just as he was
planning to plead with Bill to leave the plot go forward for
"national security" reasons, or be impeached.</p>
      <p>The ultra rich consider most Americans stupid and [that they]
have to be told fairy tales; to be amused with stories of an
angry wife cutting off her husbands "ding-a-ling."</p>
      <p>So, will Clinton be put to the wall at the height of his
popularity? Remember: The ultra rich are not sentimental.</p>
      <p>(312) 731-1100 is our main message. Donations will be
appreciated...</p>
