Skolnick COMMENTARY #005 ========================

[CfD Editor -- I neither necessarily believe nor disbelieve either all or portions of the following.]

[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.]

Hi! Sherman Skolnik, Citizen's Committee to Clean Up the Courts, 9800 Oglesby.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 The profits were withdrawn, so the lawmakers either got the bribes or were being blackmailed with record footprints showing they were paid off.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".

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.

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.

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.

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...
