+========================</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 <person>Skolnick</person>, Citizens' Committee to Clean Up the Courts, 
+9800 South Oglesby.</p>
+
+<p>The phone company reserves the right to sabotage your phones if 
+you are a political activist.</p>
+
+<p>The background: In the 1960s and 1970s, like other phone 
+companies nationwide, Illinois Bell Telephone Company assisted 
+the espionage agencies in monitoring and sabotaging the phones of 
+civil rights advocates, anti-war activists, trade unionists and 
+such. Some local police units had or have units called "red 
+squads" on the presumption that political activists are 
+subversive. "Red squad" agents had free access to phone company 
+facilities to monitor phones, to obtain records of phone calls, 
+and to screw up phone lines so calls couldn't go through -- such 
+as right before or during civil rights protest events.</p>
+
+<p>In 1969 there was a boycott in Chicago by blacks, directed 
+against banks who refused them mortgages and took discriminatory 
+and highly inflated contract payments instead. The protest was by 
+the Southside Contract Buyers League, some 25,000 black 
+homeowners. At a key point in the boycott, all the phones were 
+blanked out in the areas where the Southside Contract Buyers 
+League members lived. Blacks who weren't even members, but lived 
+*near* members, also had *their* phones cut off.</p>
+
+<p>Thereafter, a class action lawsuit was being planned against 
+Illinois Bell Telephone for sabotage and racial discrimination in 
+services. The president and the vice-president of the black 
+homeowners group met with phone company officials in the home of 
+our [Citizen's Committee to Clean Up the Courts] chairman. The 
+phone company offered a "gift" of a half-million dollars in 
+"hush" money. The meeting blew up, however, when our chairman 
+said he was going public with the phone company's attempted 
+bribery.</p>
+
+<p>Chicago alderman Ed Vyrdolak headed a committee supposedly 
+investigating phone company complicity in wire-tapping. City 
+Council hearings were scrapped, however, after Illinois Bell 
+Telephone Company reportedly gave "Fast Eddy's" [i.e. Vyrdolak] 
+law firm a bribe of almost $1 million.</p>
+
+<p>By 1982, the FBI and the Chicago police entered into a federal 
+court consent decree that they would cease doing dirty tricks 
+against political activists and others in this federal district. 
+Thereafter, the IRS [Internal Revenue Service] intelligence, 
+acting similar to CIA, took over wire-tapping and spying in this 
+district, the result of a loophole in the consent decree. The IRS 
+gestapo does a number of acts having nothing to do with tax 
+collecting:</p>
+
+<p>1) They monitor and sabotage the phones of political activists.</p>
+
+<p>2) As admitted offhand during a federal court hearing, the IRS 
+keeps dossiers on federal judges here for blackmail and 
+extortion. A federal judge who does not rule in favor of the IRS 
+can expect himself and his family to be wrecked.</p>
+
+<p>3) The IRS unlawfully spies on first class mail, with the 
+connivance of postal authorities.</p>
+
+<p>4) Top IRS officials in the Chicago area are secret partners in 
+vending machine companies owned by the mafia in the south 
+suburbs.</p>
+
+<p>5) According to an unpublicized court suit, the IRS demanded the 
+wife divorce a husband for publicly criticizing the IRS.</p>
+
+<p>Does the phone company sabotage these [Citizen's Committee's 
+phone] lines? You're darn right. In November of '93, Illinois 
+Bell -- now called Ameritech -- resumed a 20-year-long sabotage 
+campaign against these recorded commentaries. (By the way, the 
+phone company security department is a *rotten joke*.)</p>
