   <p>Skolnick COMMENTARY #005
========================</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 Skolnik, Citizen's Committee to Clean Up the Courts,
9800 Oglesby.</p>
   <p>So far, the press has stonewalled a major bribery story. This is
about the Bank of Criminals and Conspirators International. BCCI
supposedly went under in 1991. A high official of the bank turned
over to the Bank of England an important document showing how
BCCI bought its way into the U.S. government by seeking to have
the rogue bank spread out over this nation. Funny thing: the hot
paper was kept as an open record for 30 days. An international
news group retrieved it and verified that receiving bribes were
108 members of the U.S. House of Representatives and 28 U.S.
Senators. The press lords, however, killed the story. So, the
details were given to us and we pledged never to reveal the names
of the helpful journalists. Our story about it appeared
exclusively in a conservative publication. No sizeable news group
would go *near* the explosive details.</p>
   <p>Six Chicago commodities brokers were the vehicles of bribery.
Such as London Affiliates(?), reportedly including CapCom(?) and
GNP(?) Commodities. CapCom reportedly was being reviewed by top
officials of Telecommunications, Inc. [TCI] of Denver and
Chicago, the major cable monster.</p>
   <p>BCCI and TCI also own about 16% of Turner Broadcasting and a
sizeable hunk of the parent of ABC News, and worked a corrupt
group of deals with the bigwigs at CBS.</p>
   <p>So, the press fakers were afraid to death of the story. Also used
as money launderies to bribe both houses of Congress were the
Chicago Board of Trade and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. At
one time, the Chicago exchanges were the major givers of gifts to
Congress. So, representatives and senators would fly into Chicago
-- supposedly to give a speech -- and get their "honorarium" and,
at the same time, secret trading accounts were opened up for
them.</p>
   <p>As to them [secret trading accounts(?)], the commodity records
show the loss in Chicago *but* a huge profit in the name of a
strong man, or nominee, at the London end. The profits were
withdrawn, so the lawmakers either got the bribes or were being
blackmailed with record footprints showing they were paid off.
Either way, BCCI had Congress "on the hook".</p>
   <p>Early in '94, a top former BCCI official agreed to be extradited
to the United States to stand trial for massive fraud. So now,
the press admits he has direct knowledge of the bribery of U.S.
government officials.</p>
   <p>By the way, the press are liars when they say BCCI is defunct.
Reportedly continuing their secret dealings is Chemical(?)
[Clinical(?)] Bank Group made up of shadowy types from Atlanta
and Chicago. They have bought out known criminal money launderies
here, such as First National Bank of Cicero, originally operated
by Paul Marchinkas(sp?), long-time head of the mafia/CIA-linked
Vatican Bank.</p>
   <p>Some contend all this diabolical data has been compiled by the
Dutch and the British, who have a long-standing scheme to
overthrow the U.S. government, explode the U.S. Constitution,
*and* exploit the U.S. workforce without [unclear], without
health benefits, and without decent wages.</p>
   <p>You heard it right here: the related, exclusive details, such as
the Androchetti(sp?) Affair; the $50 million Resolution Trust
Corporation contingency fund which disappeared from Chicago and
ended up to try to cover up Clinton's financial scandals in
Arkansas; Bill and Hillary Clinton and BCCI; and the Mena,
Arkansas, airport affair; dope and gun running; and...</p>
