<p>Skolnick COMMENTARY #011

|
========================</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,
|
|
9800 South Oglesby.</p>
|
|
<p>The signs are there, but not enough people are watching.</p>
|
|
<p>The stock market has been pumped up by a lot of people emptying
|
|
their bank accounts and other financial accounts and buying
|
|
mutual funds. The theory being: the managers of mutual funds
|
|
[pay(?)] more than others. Oh, yeah?</p>
|
|
<p>And the mutual funds, in turn, buy stocks. So a lot of
|
|
inexperienced, unsophisticated people have a lot of their life
|
|
savings into stocks. Also, the very low interest rates have
|
|
pumped up the price of bonds. On huge volume, the stock market
|
|
has been churning -- inching up, and backing down -- as the
|
|
ultra-rich use their newspapers, magazines, radio and t.v. to
|
|
lure more and more suckers into the markets.</p>
|
|
<p>Traditionally, sizeable corporate interests buy off financial
|
|
reporters to float stories heating up the know-nothings into
|
|
buying. Some such reporters, and their editors, are double-dippers: their regular salary plus "under the table" to promote
|
|
phoney stories. It's one of the great unpublicized scandals,
|
|
along with the media acting to "shake down" companies to get
|
|
advertising contracts [by] threatening to run negative items.</p>
|
|
<p>At the top of the market, the very-rich unload and it's called
|
|
"distribution." Insiders know the horrendous news is waiting to
|
|
be sprung. Such as terrible news about IBM, that their securities
|
|
are being racked by the ratings agencies like Standard & Poors.
|
|
Or even worse, that IBM may be pushed into bankruptcy by panicy
|
|
banks. Items like that, if widely circulated, could be the pin to
|
|
Wall Street's balloon. With the markets so puffed up, some think
|
|
a specific "pin" is not necessary.</p>
|
|
<p>The press is avoiding discussion. We're facing a crash in bonds
|
|
or in stocks, or *both* together.</p>
|
|
<p>A few realize the great danger of overstaying a bull market.</p>
|
|
<p>Question: Is Clinton up to it? Can he deal with the financial
|
|
tailspin without using emergency powers -- such as shutting down
|
|
the stock exchanges or halting the bond markets -- *huh*?!</p>
|
|
<p>Using domestic emergency powers is becoming more and more
|
|
useless. High technology makes it easy to side-step Wall Street
|
|
and trade on foreign exchanges with the blip of a computer mouse. </p>
|
|
<p>Also, so-called "derivatives" are the "tail wagging the dog" --
|
|
options and futures contracts and numbers games of every kind.</p>
|
|
<p>The ultra-rich promote paper money; they feel they can control
|
|
the [peasants(?)] that way. On the other hand: independent money
|
|
in gold, silver and platinum. When gold is able to stay over $410
|
|
an ounce, well, the paper money game will come to an end. The
|
|
Federal Reserve and other private, central banks keep trying to
|
|
keep gold under the magic number of 410. But demands for gold
|
|
will wreck The Fed's dirty trick.</p>
|
|
<p>America and the western world are facing 3 historical cycles: the
|
|
500 year economic cycle, 1492-1992 (we're overdue on that one);
|
|
and the 60 year cycle 1933 (the date of the bank collapse) and
|
|
1993; and then there's 1943 -- the Pope made a secret 50 year
|
|
deal not to interfere with the western world and their
|
|
financials. Of course it's up in 1993.</p>
|
|
<p>Strong central governments are becoming obsolete: Moscow,
|
|
Washington, London, Paris and others.</p>
|
|
<p>What can you do? Huh-huh. Call up your news-fakers and tell them
|
|
to stop *kidding* us, huh?!</p>
