<p>Skolnick COMMENTARY #002
|
|
========================</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 (sp?), Citizens' Committee to Clean Up the
|
|
Courts, 9800 Oglesby (sp?).</p>
|
|
<p>Some years ago the federal government set up a special
|
|
[inaudible] group. For two-and-a-half years they met in secret at
|
|
Iron Mountain, <ent type='GPE'>New York</ent>. Their findings were called "Report from
|
|
Iron Mountain on the Possibility and Desirability of Peace."
|
|
Their document, by some of the leading thinkers, was suppressed.
|
|
Later, it was printed in a limited edition, with the *names*
|
|
removed. Some were shocked by what they read.</p>
|
|
<p>Throughout history, permanent peace was dangerous to established
|
|
governments. War, and the threat of war, are the principal
|
|
organizing force for most societies. They divert attention from
|
|
*other* economic and political problems. War keeps the factories
|
|
going, wasting government manpower and material that would
|
|
otherwise be of surplus. Peace brings unemployment, the collapse
|
|
of prices of goods and property, and knocks down the government.
|
|
In simple terms, war prevents [economic] depression. (By the way,
|
|
sooner or later, whatever nation loses a war is overthrown. So it
|
|
has been all the centuries. The American ruling circles lost the
|
|
Vietnam War. The aftermath is bound to scatter the rulers to the
|
|
winds.)</p>
|
|
<p>As the report says, in Europe, over the years, the typical
|
|
standing army consisted of troops unfit for employment in
|
|
commerce, industry or agriculture, led by officers unfit to
|
|
practice any legitimate profession or to conduct a business
|
|
enterprise. A large standing army is a form of social welfare
|
|
program; a form of control of the population. War, and the threat
|
|
of war, keep all levels of society busy. The newspapers are kept
|
|
rich reporting it. Pundits are employed to mouth off. Wars speed
|
|
up so-called scientific development. War goods do not have to
|
|
show a profit or be the lowest price. In permanent peace there
|
|
are vast cutbacks in research and development. And yes, wars kill
|
|
off surplus population; young men with no good job waiting for
|
|
them.</p>
|
|
<p>The [Iron Mountain] report points out that the war system makes
|
|
stable government of society possible. The end of war means the
|
|
end of national sovereignty.</p>
|
|
<p>Without an identified enemy, why would the <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> have
|
|
a large secret budget to assassinate political leaders and
|
|
overthrow other governments the White House does not like?</p>
|
|
<p>To promote their secret agenda, the <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> has taken over a part of
|
|
the savings and loan system to funnel men and money for "dirty
|
|
tricks" here and overseas.</p>
|
|
<p>The <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> likewise manipulates the federal bankruptcy courts to
|
|
grab up companies for use as covert action fronts. In Chicago,
|
|
this is done with the help of foreign intelligence agencies, such
|
|
as Mossad. Chicago bankruptcy trustee William A. Brand (sp?) jr.
|
|
is a top honcho of the <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> and other spy shops.</p>
|
|
<p>In the name of national security, the mass media have been
|
|
*ordered* to "soft pedal" or "stay shut" about spy agencies doing
|
|
such things. The <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> involvement in bankruptcy court should have
|
|
made headlines as the number one item on the evening TV news. Yet
|
|
not one word is said by the liars and whores of the press.</p>
|
|
<p>Play it again: Fermilab and weather modification. (312) 731-1505.</p>

|
