<p>Skolnick COMMENTARY #021
========================</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 
[CCCC], 9800 South Oglesby.</p>

<p>Can a leopard change its spots?</p>

<p>Over the years the *Chicago Tribune* has been a crooked, anti- 
labor, discriminatory operation. Starting in the 19th century, 
they got lucrative rights to newsprint and pulp production in 
Canada through a charter from the highly-secretive Jesuits and 
the King of England. To this day the *Tribune* is tied to the 
Royal Family and says nothing about them being in worldwide 
financing of dope traffic through Hong Kong and the Cayman 
islands.</p>

<p>In the 1930s, the *Tribune* was facing a labor dispute. So, they 
brought in Al Capone as a "labor consultant." He terrorized the 
workers.</p>

<p>Since about 1910, the *Tribune* used a family of criminals 
originally from Chicago -- the Annenbergs(?) and their 
descendants -- even now, to control the circulation department.</p>

<p>In years ago when there were almost a dozen Chicago papers, the 
Annenbergs used shoot-outs to "snuff out" competitors. The 
Annenbergs were major stockholders in the long-time criminal 
enterprise called the American National Bank here. They have 
other news fakers in their pocket, such as Walter Jacobson.</p>

<p>The *Tribune* was known for running items with snide remarks -- 
anti-black, anti-Jew.</p>

<p>Once a private company, the *Tribune* company had a dispute 
between the major owners like the Marshall Fields and the 
Rockefellers *and* minority owners.</p>

<p>Chicago federal district judge Crowley was blackmailed into 
favoring the big shots. Although one of the youngest on the 
federal bench, he soon thereafter resigned.</p>

<p>The Rockefellers and such wanted to be bought out so, in 1981, 
the *Tribune* company stock went public. Some thought that they 
toned down, thereafter, their highly prejudiced stories. Oh yeah?</p>

<p>To fatten their stockholders, the *Tribune* vowed to dump their 
organized workers and smash the union. Since ensued a labor 
dispute. One night the *Tribune* sent in their vicious guards 
with attack dogs to rip the workers off the machines. To continue 
production, the Tribune brought in "scabs" -- mostly white, 
rural, southern workers (at half the wages) -- for the highly 
automated new plant called "The Freedom Center." The *Tribune* 
used their advance, inside information to blackmail a Chancery 
Division judge to grant an injunction restricting picketing near 
what savvy folks call, "The Slavery Center."</p>

<p>Rightfully, it can't be called the *Chicago* Tribune since as 
little as 15% of their total circulation is inside the city 
limits. With its media octopus worldwide, it should be called 
"The Multinational Lie Machine."</p>

<p>To try to boost city circulation, the *Tribune* runs items 
talking down their nose at blacks -- as if all blacks are dopers 
engaged in drive-by shootings.</p>

<p>About 1984, joke faker Mike Royko left the *Sun Times* and went 
to the *Chicago Tribune*. The *Sun Times* sued the *Tribune*, 
*but* the *Tribune* had advance, inside data on a Chancery 
Division judge taking bribes. And so, the case was steered to 
him. The *Tribune* blackmailed the judge into ruling in favor of 
"The Slavery Center" at the Tribune Tower.</p>

<p>And the *Tribune* company newslords have peddled false stories 
that were really political assassinations. Such as of Chicago's 
first black mayor, Harold Washington, died of a heart attack 
because he was overweight. *Oh yeah?* The story should have been 
that Harold Washington was murdered with a poisoned cup of 
coffee. Some of the doctors told the media fakers that the mayor 
was poisoned -- *but*, the press invoked "national security," 
contending it would cause riots. Well, what about the old 
statement, "Let the truth be told, 'though the heavens crumble," 
huh?</p>
