Skolnick COMMENTARY #022 ========================

[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 Skolnick, Citizens' Committee to Clean Up the Courts [CCCC], 9800 Oglesby.

All the years, the FBI and the CIA played dirty games with each other.

Example: The FBI had leased their cars from a west suburban auto dealer. The two so-called "owners" are much on TV... sort of, uh, celebrities, holding up cash. Their motto? "We always save you more money." Funny thing: The dealership was started up, reportedly, with funds from gangster "Momo" Giancana and his gang.

Often pursued by FBI agents, "Momo" told them to "leave him alone"; that he "worked with CIA." Some contend "Momo" helped recruit for CIA's aborted invasion of Cuba at the Bay of Pigs. "Momo" was assassinated by CIA in 1975, just as he was about to be questioned by a Congressional committee.

The auto dealer, together with their banks, reportedly acts as a money laundry for criminal enterprises jointly with foreign and domestic espionage units.

The FBI put together details resulting in the federal criminal prosecution of [Frank?] Carlisi and others for loan sharking and extortion. A key federal government witness has been Lenny Patrick. Cuban TV put on a documentary showing Lenny and two other Chicago mobsters were implicated in the assassination of President Kennedy.

The Carlisi trial has been by Chicago federal district judge Paul E. Plunkett(sp?)... implicated *himself* in covering up, in his court, laundering of funds through the Illinois Judges Pension Fund. A gift (or bribe) of $2 million was put offshore *for* Judge Plunkett when he dismissed charges against 20 name-brand stockbrokers accused of embezzling $200 million from the Judges Pension Fund.

In the Carlisi case, defense attorneys have included former Chicago federal district judge George Layton(sp?). According to documents from the National Archives, Layton was the secret attorney for Lee Harvey Oswald, the Dallas CIA "patsy."

Also in the Carlisi case, FBI monitored the defendants through the FBI wiretap center in Presidential Towers. The two top honchos in that residential complex have been Congressman Dan Rostenkowski and super money wizard Dan Shannon. The two operate their dirty game through their ownership of the spy and gangster Garfield Ridge Trust & Savings Bank. Rostenkowski also helps CIA and foreign espionage agencies launder loot through the Chicago Board of Trade. Two of "Rosty's" daughters were supposedly employees of the Board of Trade -- although apparently not performing much work.

The CIA is accused of bringing into the United States 1,000 kilos of cocaine. The CBS TV program [CfD -- Here, I think he means *60 Minutes*], however, censored how the money flowed back *out* of the United States through the persons and businesses we have outlined here.

Another peculiar FBI and CIA situation involves Chicago assistant federal prosecutor William R. Hogan, jr. He has been accused, in federal court, of arranging perjury in the criminal prosecutions of the El Rukn dope gang. Formerly called Blackstone Rangers, the El Rukns, as a terrorist group, have been financed by the Charles Kettering Foundation and the Charles Merrill Trust -- *both* money types for CIA.

Are the dope shipments also *arranged* through CIA? The FBI started investigating Hogan but were temporarily *blocked* on "national security" grounds by CIA! Now, with the aid of CIA, these terrorists are being put out of jails and back on the street.

Call up your favorite news fakers or talk show fakers and tell them to stop kidding us in censoring this.
