AIR CRASHES, BLACK BOXES, and UNSAFETY BOARDS---EgyptAir Flight 990, More of the Same? by Sherman H. Skolnick The National Transportation Safety Board, NTSB, and its predecessor federal agencies, have a long, sorry history of covering up foul play involved in some aircraft disasters. The word "sabotage" is a dirty, forbidden word to them and the airline industry. How can they sell tickets if passengers are haunted by the idea that some planes are put down by bombs, missiles, or other bloody work? Some NTSB panel members, in the past, have been suspected of concealing that some of their family members and cronies have financial interests, if not actual stock ownership, in the airline travel business. There is, in short, nothing safe about the Safety Board. About 1965 a commercial plane was enroute to Chicago. Just offshore of the Windy City, the plane blew up and fell in relatively shallow water of Lake Michigan. Early news accounts in some of the newspapers said a bomb was suspected. Later editions, like with political assassinations, cleaned up the messy details. Further stories dismissed the crash as merely some kind of "accident". One night a diver went down to the wreckage and apparently stole one of the "black boxes", that records various parameters of the plane's operations or records voices in the cockpit. Also removed were apparently certain items in the wreckage. What was that all about? According to some news reports, it was some kind of an unsolved mystery. Left out of reports in the monopoly press were that one of the passengers was a disgruntled top official of the American CIA. He was on the way to meeting a prominent journalist in Chicago. He was going to turn over documents showing that there had been a high-level cabal implicated in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963. [Not the only time key witnesses were snuffed out on the way to meet with reporters. Example, the Karen Silkwood case. AND, see our details in an earlier story, about Reporters and Assassins(they sleep together)]. These details I had confirmed to me from two reliable sources. One of them was federal aircrash inspector. Unlike some of his colleagues, he had several times endangered his job and career demanding the truth be told about some crashes. BUT, his superiors always told him to "shut up". The facts were simple. To silence a top espionage official an entire plane was put in the drink killing all onboard. In December, 1972, one month after President Nixon was re-elected, a commercial plane was headed from Washington's National Airport, set for a stop in Chicago. Among the passengers were twelve WATERGATE figures, including Mrs. E. Howard Hunt, wife of the Watergate burglar. She was nervous about her luggage. So, she bought an additional first class seat ticket for her baggage right near her. Why? Well, contained there was two million dollars of "hush" money, that her husband reportedly blackmailed out of Nixon. Both Mr. and Mrs. E. Howard Hunt were long-time CIA officials. Both reportedly knew about the role of Tricky Dick implicated in the political assassination of President Kennedy. The two million dollars in valuables were to be "parked" apparently with her Chicago-area relatives, one of whom reportedly owns a sizeable accounting and motel operation some say is tied to the "boys", the traditional mafia. Some of the passengers perished when the United Air Lines plane pancaked just short of Midway Airport. Sooner than the police and fire departments, 150 FBI agents were already in the crash zone keeping local authorities away from the smouldering plane. The FBI headquarters is 12 miles away. How did that many FBI get there that soon, ahead of the fire and police? The FBI apparently were already in the vicinity of the airport waiting to take Mrs. Hunt and some of the other Watergators into custody, to be charged with extortion, that is, shaking down a federal official, namely President Nixon. It was supposed to result in a secret "national security" federal criminal prosecution with the court records sealed. From all the details we uncovered, we knew Mrs. Hunt and some of her confederates survived the pancaked air plane and were poisoned later by the FBI. We arranged to "liberate" the entire 1300 pages of documents and pictures of the National Transportation Safety Board, showing sabotage. The NTSB did NOT intend to release THOSE documents in the form they had them. Without telling the NTSB we had their file, we sued the NTSB, claiming sabotage cover up. A local crooked judge, however, put us out of Court without any formal hearing. Because of the lawsuit, the NTSB re-opened their public investigation later. Because of

-Caveat Lector- A few years ago, I recall reading an article in the newspaper detailing the recovered remains of several bodies in a mine shaft, or was it the forest. Anyway, at the time it was speculated that it may be the grave of the Romanov family, and that the authorities would try to determine the identities through DNA testing. The DNA samples would be provided by living cousins in England. This was done, and the results proved that it was indeed the Romanovs. My question is; was this also part of the cover-up??

Skolnick Producer/Moderator, Public Access Cable TV Program "Broadsides" Since 1963, Founder/Chairman, Citizen's Committee to Clean Up the Courts 1912 The British ship TITANIC sunk more so from an internal explosion in the coal bunker than from hitting an iceberg. Those who produced the most recent version of the movie Titanic, viewed, in a special submarine, the remains of the ship on the bottom of the Atlantic, off of Newfoundland. They reportedly noticed the side of the ship showed there had been a massive internal explosion in the vicinity of the coal bunker. Was it sabotage? Knowledgeable sources contend the ship, on its maiden voyage, had been the target of blackmail and espionage intrigue implicating England and Germany who two years later went to war against each other. With the ship not having sufficient life-boats to save costs, were the passengers cold-heartedly sacrificed as part of a bloody scheme to profit war-mongering large corporate interests while from 1914 to 1918, millions of ordinary people killed each other? The movie producers, in a re-make of a prior movie on the Titanic sinking, spent some 200 million dollars in the production. They were not about to risk that by raising the question of the internal explosion requiring a revision of history books. [Sidenote: my late father was on the ship behind the Titanic.] In 1915, the ship "Lusitania" was likewise the subject of a bloody scheme. Supposedly just a passenger ship, yet the British withdrew protection from the ship in wartime as it approached off of England. Knowing the truth that the Lusitania was a secret munitions carrier, a German U-boat sank the ship with great loss of life including U.S. citizens. The British sacrificed the passengers as part of a scheme to draw the U.S. into World War One to aid Great Britain. Remember: the British and French Rothschilds, and the Rockefellers, created the conspiratorial Federal Reserve just prior to the war, to use American assets to finance both sides of Europe's war. ===1918 History books declare that Russian Czar Nicholas 2nd and his family, following the Russian Revolution, were assassinated by the Bolsheviks, July, 1918, in a basement of a house in Ekaterinburg, Siberia. By the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, arranged by Lenin, in March, 1918, the Russians ended their war with Germany enabling the Germans to devote their efforts to the Western front against U.S., France, and Great Britain. [Lenin's elder brother was among those who assassinated Nicholas's grandfather, 1881, Emperor Alexander 2nd] The Treaty had a secret codicil, arranged by the Rockefellers and the Rothschilds who financed Lenin, providing for the safe passage of the Czar and his family in exile, the Czar having abdicated the throne on behalf of himself and his young son, heir to the throne, Alexei, in the spring of 1917. The Rockefeller banks, Chicago and New York, had the PRIVATE fortune on deposit of the Romanov family, separate from Nicholas's government position as Czar of all the Russias. This consisted of 400 million dollars in gold, at the then price of 20 dollars per ounce. Declaring the Czar and his family falsely dead enabled the Rockefeller bankers to spread out their empire using the fraudulent bankers' use of fractional reserves. Through secret accounts, the Rockefellers for decades thereafter rolled over these funds, to their benefit, in violation of state escheat laws providing that bank accounts revert to the State government if not claimed after, in most states, seven years. Of course, corrupt bank regulators in Illinois and New York have condoned this by the Rockefellers' First National Bank of Chicago and their Chase Bank of New York. By 1970, documents were being released by the British, after more than 50 years of suppression, showing the British monarchy, cousins of the Czar, secretly with U.S. aid rescued the Czar and his family. So to perpetuate the big lie of royal murder, the Rockefellers financed an elaborate movie "Nicholas and Alexandra" which in its final scenes shows the alleged assassination by the Bolsheviks of the Czar and his family in Siberia. In only one edition, the pro-British monarchy Chicago Tribune had a story headlined "U.S. Aided Rescue of Czar Nichola, British hint" [Chicago Tribune, 12/14/70.) Excerpts: "British government documents which recently were placed in the public record office in London indicate that President Woodrow Wilson backed a secret mission to Russia which may have resulted in the rescue of Czar Nicholas and his family in 1918." and "A retired U.S. official, who has aided the investigations and asked to remain

Skolnick Producer/Moderator, Public Access Cable TV Program "Broadsides" Since 1963, Founder/Chairman, Citizen's Committee to Clean Up the Courts They all seem to have three names, or words as names. And the three wirds somehow seem to have a rhythm to them. Lee Harvey Oswald. Russell Weston, Junior, Benjamin Nathaniel Smith. And the monopoly press described each one as a "lone assassin".Why is America hung up on lone killers? Elsewhere, such as in Europe, they speak of killer teams, Propaganda Due, known as P-2, Gladio, the Red Brigades, and other government and semi-government murder squads. Likewise, Central and South America, with their death squads: El Salvador, Quatemala, Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, Chile. The theme of the Warren Commission was that a lone nut killed President John F. Kennedy. Thereafter, the pundits and politicos hollared "Gun Control!" as the remedy. It took years and years until some brave souls dared speak up and say that there would be less political assassinations if they took away the guns of the CIA's covert teams. Oswald's handler/controller at FBI reportedly flushed a key document down the toilet, or was it down the dark hole of secrecy and history? [Describing the CIA plot against JFK was a booked under under a penname by the French CIA, called "Farewell America", a best-seller in Europe, in the 1960s and 70s, BUT BANNED FROM BEING SOLD IN BOOKSTORES IN THE U.S. I and another assassination researcher were the only ones to distribute some copies of the smuggled in book, at speeches, etc., one book at a time. Alas, no more copies of the book are left at this late date.] Russell Weston, Jr. supposedly left southern Illinois and drove all the way to Washington, D.C. It was July, 1998, and he arrives at a key point in the Monica Lewinsky scandal. He parks his vehicle in the Capitol near the House of Representatives [some question how he was able to avoid scrutiny since cars thus parked are carefully examined by the local police]. He goes right past the guards and heads right for the unmnarked door leading into the office of House Majority Whip Tom DeLay (R., Texas]. DeLay was known as a loud critic demanding the removal of Clinton. Next door was the office of then-Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich [R., Georgia], not so loud against Clinton. But Weston was NOT heading for Newt's office. Weston got into DeLay's office, shot to death a guard there, and came within a few seconds of blowing away DeLay who was walking right toward Weston. Quickly thereafter, DeLay fled Washington for his home district of Houston. Getting off the plane, he told a confidant there was an assassination plot against himself and his family. DeLay returned to the District of Columbia under heavy guard. And the press pundits and politicos, as is there habit, hollared "Gun control!" as the remedy. Suspected of being a "plant" or FBI orchestrated agent provocateur, Weston has fallen into the limbo of the mental hospital machine. CBS Network verified our story that Weston was part of a circle of FBI robots or provocateurs. BUT, the monopoly press suppressed the story. The FBI/CIA has a way of making use of those who are partly unbalanced and talk in extreme rhetoric, real or otherwise. If they were candid and honest, which they are not, would the FBI bosses admit that their provocateurs, who are carefully tracked by the Bureau, somehow run out of control and bomb and kill people? Or, like some "Manchurian Candidate", are such robots used to protect, for example, the president from being further scandalized so he can continue to be of use to the Bourbons, the worldwide ruling elite? The press sort of made light of what Weston's sister later said: "April Callahan said her brother told her recently that he was working for the FBI and was 'on a secret mission to protect the president'". [Chicago Tribune, 7/27/98]. Then there was a fellow named Benjamin Nathaniel Smith. Because of his showing up in a variety of places to raise hell, some suspected he was an FBI "plant" or provocateur, used by the Bureau to identify other dissidents, mislead others, track others, and such. Someone planted an item on a popular website that violence was expected on the Fourth of July weekend holiday, 1999. Smith had a very common looking face. Experts on faces said he had a choir boy look. Smith was supposedly the "lone gunman" on a shooting spree in Chicago, suburbs of Chicago, elsewhere in Illinois and downstate Indiana,, starting on the Friday leading up to the weekend holiday.

Oglesby Ave., Chicago IL 60617-4870 06-27-1999 REPUTED CIA PROPRIETARY HAS INTERNET MONOPOLY By Sherman H. Skolnick Producer/Moderator, Public Access Cable TV Program "Broadsides" Since 1963, Founder/Chairman, Citizen's Committee to Clean Up the Courts A reputed CIA proprietary has Internet monopoly. They call themselves Network Solutions, Inc., of Herndon, Virginia. They have the worldwide monopoly for domain registration. Their apparent stranglehold on websites is called InterNIC Registration Services. Here is how it works. Supposing you want the domain name "ciafraud.com". Most domain names are all in lower cases with the words run together without spaces. That is how the computer reads it. In the beginning, ".com" was for commercial enterprises, ".org" was for not-for-profit groups, and ".edu" for educational institutions. Now, however, there is a blur and non-commercial persons or entities can register their domain as ".com". When you apply for service, either through an Internet Service Provider, ISP, or a hybrid group that is an on-line go-between to an Internet Service Provider, such as AOL, or a separate web host server---there is an application. At the same time, if you want to pick an easy to remember and use name for your website, the ISP, etc., will check with Network Solutions to see if someone else already has that domain registered. The ISP, etc., typically, get 50 to 100 dollars for forwarding the domain registration form to Network Solutions. Thereafter, you get a bill from Network Solutions, demanding prompt payment IN ADVANCE for two years service of your domain registration. They "park" your domain with the web host server, ISP, etc. What happens if YOU want to transfer the "parking" of your domain to another ISP, etc.? Supposing your original choice for a web host server, ISP, etc., turned out to be a firm that merges with a larger service. AND, THEY have a problem with THEIR computer. You may have trouble logging on. They may not even inform you of what is happening. You get disgusted and you decide to sign up with another ISP, web host server, etc. At that point, Network Solutions already has your money in advance, currently 70 dollars for two years service. Unless Network Solutions "parks" your domain with a properly functioning ISP, etc., others using Internet CANNOT log on to your website, such as supposing if it were "ciafraud.com" or something like that. If you are known dissident, a known critic of the government, or the FBI, CIA, etc., or simply do not have "clout", or heavy influence with InterNIC, you may get delayed months and months in using your website,, the domain registration of which you PAID IN ADVANCE FOR TWO YEARS SERVICE. If you e-mail them at: [EMAIL PROTECTED], all you get back is an announcement that it is an automatic reply by computer and that they "DO NOT CONFIRM INQUIRY BEING PROCESSED". That is their arrogant answer you get from Network Solutions, Inc. That is their way, as a reputed CIA-created, worldwide monopoly, to tell you to "go to hell", we have your money in advance. You are left to wonder: Are YOU on the FBI/CIA's "loudmouth" list? Do they remember YOU as a peacenik? Are you known to write stories openly condemning America's Gestapo, the U.S. Secret Political Police, the IRS, INS, FBI, CIA, etc.? OR, you simply have no influence with Network Solutions. You are nowhere unless and until THEY park your domain with a properly functioning web host server, ISP, etc. And even after they so finally park you, you may---as some claim --- be the victim of apparent sabotage. Your website goes down, and nobody can or will help you, or explain. You are lost in cyberspace and nobody of authority is ready to remedy this situation. Not anti-trust laws, not postal fraud inspectors, nobody will help you against the CIA's reputed brainchild. Taking money in advance on the representations that such payment will get you two years of service, such as payment by credit card by wire, or remittance sent by U.S. Mail, for services to be provided, and then services ARE NOT PROVIDED---hey, that is a federal criminal offense. But Network Solutions, Inc., was reportedly set up as a worldwide monopoly, as a CIA proprietary. That is, it is disguised as to their link to the bloody spy agency. Some believe InterNIC is a good, cheap way, for the CIA and others in the secret political police, to keep track of data, censored stories, dissidents, etc. How do I know? I have first hand knowledge. My domain registration, paid for in advance, has been

Skolnick Producer/Moderator, Public Access Cable TV Program "Broadsides" Since 1963, Founder/Chairman, Citizen's Committee to Clean Up the Courts His top level controllers and handlers have seen to it that nothing REALLY BAD about William Rockefeller Clinton ever, so far, circulates in the monopoly press. Why? For one thing, he does what the Establishment wants. He follows order of what some call the Bourbons, the ultra-rich. They call the shots. Further, some have reason to believe he is the illegitimate offspring of the worldwide powerful Rockefeller family who like to own and operate what some consider to be sizable, backward, small population states, such as Arkansas and West Virginia. Others point to the cynical assessment that there is not a dime's worth of difference between the Democrats and Republicans. So if there is a vast money laundry implicating, among others, Bill Clinton, who would dare tell you in the network news? In Chicago, is a branch of a huge Canadian octopus, the Bank of Montreal, owned by the whiskey-soaked Bronfman family. They are also big in movie theater chains and the entertainment industry. Their branch in Chicago, Harris Bank, has for some time been THE heavy weight in foreign currency trading, handling and exchanging most every type of money instrument. Several years ago Harris Bank merged with a known reputed money laundry, Household Bank,, units of Household International, headquartered in the Chicago-area. Household is the successor and alter ego to Nugan Hand Bank that operated in California, Australia, Manila, Saudi, London, and a few other places. The General Counsel of Nugan Hand was William Colby, former Director of Central Intelligence. Former Generals and Admirals, close to CIA, operated Nugan Hand's worldwide offices. It was a CIA proprietary operation, transferring clandestine funds, for "national security", for Southeast Asia secret operations, including assassinations, such as the Phoenix Program, murdering some 63,000 Viet Namese civilians who opposed the Saigon government. Also disguised as something else were the skimming off of U.S. weapons shipped to Viet Nam, some 20 per cent of which were stolen upon being off-loaded. Dope funds from the "Golden Triangle". Large U.S. military gambling pools. The dark underside of the real financial world. Nugan Hand was "The House". Colby became the unlisted general counsel of Household, Nugan Hand's alter ego. Amid a scandal starting with the assassination of one of its founders in 1980, and the shredding of its financial records, Nugan Hand disappeared. Rising from the espionage ashes, to continue the reputed money laundering, was Household, which had previously been mostly a loan shark operation, Household Finance Corporation. Household, and Harris Bank, saved Bill and Hillary Clinton from being prosecuted and jailed for the embezzlement of 47 million dollars from a Little Rock-based Savings Loan, run by their crony, Jim McDougal(he was murdered in jail the night before he was to testify about the misappropriation.) Quietly parked with Household had been 58.4 million dollars of federal agency funds kept, pending the claims of a Chicago-area caulking contractor, Joseph Andreuccetti, that several banks had swindled him out of millions of dollars of properties and assets. A Hillary Clinton family crony, John E. Gierum, supervised the ear-marked funds while supposedly acting as attorney for Andreuccetti. While apparently under Gierum's management, 50 million dollars of those funds were secretly transferred to Little Rock, an attempt to prevent Bill and Hillary from being prosecuted on federal criminal charges of bank embezzlement. The 3 million dollar difference, called "street tax" in mob jargon, ended up reportedly in late 1991, in the hands of Rahm Emanuel. It jump-started Clinton's campaign for President and gave him a starting edge. Rahm Emanuel, described as a super-fixer, tied to the worldwide currency trading through Chicago and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, and Harris Bank and such, was rewarded in being for several years Clinton White House Senior Advisor with a desk closest to the Oval Office. In its circuitous route, the 50 million dollars was secretly transferred from Household, with the aid of Harris Bank, and through transactions disguised as something else on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, to Arkansas. Does anyone notice how often Bill Clinton comes to give unreported speeches for his cronies on the "Merc" as it is called? At about

Skolnick Producer/Moderator, Public Access Cable TV Program "Broadsides" Since 1963, Founder/Chairman, Citizen's Committee to Clean Up the Courts The role of blackmail and orchestrated emergencies is approaching fever pitch in the U.S. Capitol and a few other places. Item: Vice President AL Gore, Jr. contends to confidants that the report by the House Committee headed by Christopher Cox [R-47th, CA] is a blackmail device. Parts of the report have apparently been leaked out to the New York Times and members of the French Press. It deals with serious national security violations in respect to top nuclear secrets given to the Red Chinese. Reportedly directly implicated bought-and-paid-for treason are President William Rockefeller Clinton , with a somewhat lesser role by V.P Gore. Knowledgeable sources contend, based on this in items even beyond the Cox Report and other data, there is sufficient reasons available to force from office the President, the Vice President, and the current Secretary of State Madeleine Albright who although 5th in line of Presidential succession is not eligible as non-U.S. born. If Clinton and Gore are forced to the wall, set to become acting President would be Speaker of the House, J. Dennis Hastert [R-14th, Ill.] Hastert became Speaker when Speaker-Designate Bob Livingstone [R-1st, LA] was reportedly scandal-fingered with the crooked aid of ABC newsfaker Cokie Roberts. [Her father, Cong. Hale Boggs of Louisiana, started to go public with his regrets about his role on the Warren Commission proclaiming a lone assassin, not the CIA, assassinated President John F. Kennedy. As Boggs started to go public with his misgivings, he was murdered by way of a "disappeared plane" scenario in Alaska, one month before the re-election of President Nixon who was implicated in the Dallas JFK murder. The Clinton Justice Department is quietly, not in open Court, seeking a reported injunction or other Court remedy to stop the circulation of a new book, Betrayal--How the Clinton Administration Undermined American Security, by Bill Gertz. The Justice Department contends the book is revealing forbidden national security secrets as to Clinton, Gore, and others. So far there seems to be no comment from the publisher, Regnery Publishing, Inc., P.O. Box 97199, Washington, D.C. 20090-7199. Item: Clinton's handlers and controllers are prepared to set in motion an orchestrated financial emergency, a gimmick so far set for Summer, 1999. Clinton as puppet is preparing to announce the use of his Emergency Powers, by way of the War Powers Act of 1917 never withdrawn or rescinded, to force all Americans to turn in all 20, 50, and 100 dollar denominated paper currency that does not have the new metal-like strip embedded in the newer-issued currency. Americans would have one-week to turn in their old currency, after which, for the first time in U.S. history, the older currency would be void. Unlike the U.S., in Europe for centuries the central governments profit by outlawing the old paper money after a certain quick cut-off date to turn it in. Those with large quantities of the older paper purported U.S. money [actually, Federal Reserve notes backed by nothing but hot air, no gold, no silver, nothing] are subject to being grilled by federal authorities as to how and where they got and have so much paper money. Questions to be asked, with demand for quick, documented answers: [1} Did you report this on your state and federal income tax returns and pay tax on this as income? [2] If not, where else did such a quantity of paper money come from? Can you prove that it did not come from illicit transactions, dope, gun smuggling, bribery? Upon being unable to give quick, on-the-spot answers with documentation suitable to the inquisitors, your older paper money may be confiscated, without a receipt being issued and without legal recourse to having it turned in for the new paper money. And will the new paper money be issued, dollar for dollar, or will you lose because of a devaluation, such as 50 of the new dollar paper money for each 100 denominated of the older paper money? Quietly, the federal Gestapo is seeking to refit metal-type detecting apparatus in airports, and to be installed in major train and bus stations so as to be able to detect if your luggage and you are carrying the currency with the metal-like strip. Some overly clever folks with tweezers have pulled out the strips from their

Or, to make a ground war unnecessary. In either case, the secret forces of the West are plotting to assassinate Slobodan Milosevic. Background: in the late 1980s, the American CIA created Milosevic. Like other Frankenstein's Monsters, he turned on his creator. Others did the same: Saddam Hussein, the Iraqi strongman; Fidel Castro of Cuba; Panama's Manuel Noriega. Milosevic became an outspoken nationalist, appealing to the masses in a country long over-run by huge foreign powers. Serbia for the Serbians! was the substance of his slogans. Some fail to adequately explain how World War One started. The royals of the then powerful Austro-Hungarian Empire had the bad sense and timing to visit Sarajevo on a local national patriotic holiday. The royal bigwig and his wife were assassinated. The Austro-Hungarian moguls insisted on intervening in Serbia's internal affairs to supposedly investigate the murders. The rest is the blood-stained history, 1914 to 1918. Has the example of 1914 been lost on the United States, intervening on the internal affairs of Serbia? Now, by way of intervening in Serbia, the American CIA has a scheme both simple and diabolical. A journalist known for being both outspoken and independent is to finally get an exclusive interview with Milosevic in the presence of a Peace Delegation from the U.S. Unknowingly, the journalist and the Peace Delegation are to be the pilot laser fish, guiding U.S. missiles right to and at Milosevic. The journalist, not an establishment type at al, is to be thrown away --- blown away, actually --- in the process of the political assassination of the Serb leader. Some suspect a somewhat similar bloody trick was involved when CIA-darling Larry King, of the spy agency's creations Ted Turner and CNN, lured the Minister of Information of Serbia to do a live satellite hook up with Larry King through the Radio Television Serbia facility in Belgrade. The Serb official arrived near the RTS Building and was horrified, just as the U.S. missiles struck. If he arrived a few moments earlier Larry King would have his world exclusive --- a Serb official and a Serb Radio-TV facility both blasted to bits for the entertainment of war-mongers and apathetic viewers. Those planning to take me, a known independent journalist, in my wheelchair, to meet Slobodan Milosevic, are well-meaning and innocent. Note to CIA bastards: I uncovered your dirty trick just in time. I am not going to be the patsy and pilot fish, to be thrown away, in your bloody scheme to intervene in the sovereign state affairs of Serbia, or any nation, by political assassinations. All, to further the New World Disorder. Stay tuned. Sherman H. Skolnick Recorded phone message: (773) 731-1100 Office, 8 A.M. to midnight, 7 days: (773) 375-5741 9800 So.

Skolnick Producer/Moderator, Public Access Cable TV Program "Broadsides" Since 1963, Founder/Chairman, Citizen's Committee to Clean Up the Courts Several weeks ago we did our exclusive story: that their former patrons, the former Soviet Union, secretly and in highly concealed places in Serbia, left the Serbs missiles capable of reaching the U.S. such as the U.S. capitol, Washington. Now notice the following report by Joseph Farah, distributed through WorldNetDaily, with crosslinks to The Drudge Report, about matters in the Balkans. Farah's story was on or about 4/29/99, some 2 weeks after OUR exclusive story --- which they claim is NOW THEIR EXCLUSIVE STORY.

Oglesby Ave., Chicago IL 60617-4870 04-13-1999 Summary of Kosovo Stories By Sherman H. Skolnick Producer/Moderator, Public Access Cable TV Program "Broadsides" Since 1963, Founder/Chairman, Citizen's Committee to Clean Up the Courts (1) Kosovo Liberation Army are the major drug-lords in Europe, trafficking in narcotics from S.W. China, "China White", high purity heroin flooding Italy, rest of Europe, Germany (where KLA reportedly originally from) and New York and Chicago. Herr Clinton, no stranger himself to druglords, is protecting KLA druglords! (2) Oil discovered offshore in Adriatic, claimed separately and/or jointly by Rockefeller family, British Petroleum Co., the Vatican, Italy, Croatia, and Serbia, among others. Rockefellers and British Pete want to delay drilling to keep this large pool of oil, bigger than under Saudi, off the market to keep up oil prices. (3) Serbia reportedly has long-range missiles, left to them by their former patrons (the Soviets) -- now get this -- capable of reaching Washington, D.C. Fair is fair, right? If, without a declaration of war we can bomb Belgrade near a hospital, surely they have the "right" to missile attack the U.S. Capitol. I take no delight or satisfaction as an American knowing this. I am not the only American appalled at our slide toward the dogs of war. (4) Federal agents, acting like the Nazi Gestapo, are apparently grabbing and detaining Serbs living quietly in the U.S. as resident aliens. That is, Serbs with "green cards". So far, no witness is ready to testify how these people are disappearing. Note: federal agencies transfer "prisoners" (legal or otherwise) through the underground facilities at the airport at Oklahoma City and several other locations including Denver. Are the green card Serbs being deported? Or sent to detention camps such as the one offshore Alaska, confirmed to me when I was on an Anchorage radio talk show with some of the construction workers who were high paid to build these camps offshore Alaska. Activists with some of the Serb organizations in Chicago have confirmed to me that something like this is happening. Of course, the monopoly press is silent on such matters. (5) Herr Clinton has numerous motives to divert attention with war or war-scares. He and the First Lady are facing federal criminal charges for embezzling 47 million dollars from Madison Guaranty Savings Loan of Little Rock, owned by Susan McDougal's ex-husband Jim who apparently was murdered in prison the night before he was to testify about related matters. (6) Clinton and the First Lady are implicated in laundering hundreds of millions of dollars of dope funds disguised as currency and soybeans deals through the Chicago markets: The Chicago Board of Trade, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, and the Chicago Board Options Exchange. Stay tuned. 04-15-1999 The Chinese Secret Police in the UNITED STATES By Sherman H. Skolnick Producer/Moderator, Public Access Cable TV Program "Broadsides" Since 1963, Founder/Chairman, Citizen's Committee to Clean Up the Courts This is a story about the Chinese Secret Police in the UNITED STATES. When the Korean War ended, 1953, the U.S. made a peace accord with North Korea. There were no surrender terms, however, apparently with mainland China which had intervened in that war. The Chinese Secret Police had a score to settle with the U.S. The Beijing Government was disgruntled in that the U.S. Military, under Gen. Douglas MacArthur had caused Red China to intervene in the war by the U.S. troops going into North Korea up to the Yalu River, the North Korea/Red China boundary line. Result: waves of Red Chinese troops attacked the U.S. troops with huge casualties on both sides. Here is what happened, with a background. The Chinese Secret Police have a long history, going back to 550 B.C. By the 20th Century they were called Te-Wu, and they use a clandestine dialect almost impossible even for professionals to get into and understand. With only one exception, there have been no defectors to the Westso the CIA and FBI have been stymied on how to deal with them. U.S. espionage experts left over from World War 2---then called OSS, and supposedly out of service---quietly were used by the then-young CIA to track Te-Wu here. By 1956, the Chinese Secret Service made a massive effort to infiltrate the U.S. What were the Chinese doing here? They were suspected of strange bombings and murders---an on-going

Skolnick Producer/Moderator, Public Access Cable TV Program "Broadsides" Since 1963, Founder/Chairman, Citizen's Committee to Clean Up the Courts Is there a Hitler-like Gestapo group in the U.S. authorized to act by the Clinton White House? Are they being used just as if the U.S. had declared war on Serbia? Knowledgeable sources contend the White House is preparing to quickly round up and throw out of the country between 100,000 and a quarter million Serbian alien residents quietly living in the U.S. Some believe few legal formalities will be used. (In the past, a federal judge, a Latino, in California barely escaped being framed into prison by the Justice Department because he dared proclaim that the Immigration Naturalization Service, INS, and the FBI, are the American Gestapo.) Just like the onset of World War One and World War Two? Is this the same, 1999-style? Stay tuned. Sherman H.

Skolnick Producer/Moderator, Public Access Cable TV Program "Broadsides" Since 1963, Founder/Chairman, Citizen's Committee to Clean Up the Courts There are an estimated one hundred thousand to a quarter million Serbians living more or less quietly in the U.S. as alien residents. With the undeclared war of the U.S. against Serbia, is there a plan regarding such Serbians? Not mentioned in what some call the monopoly press are the presidential edicts to deal with so-called "emergencies". Blunt-talking sorts call them martial law provisions. (To misdirect the public, CBS has started a series called "Martial Law".) There is a growing clamor by Serbs in the U.S. against the Clinton White House and Pentagon. In efforts to stop this, Clinton has ordered that Serbians with green cards, resident aliens, be deported as silently as possible. Apparently this original plan has been scrapped in favor of an alternative one, to send the Serbs to certain detention camps, a replay of the Hitler-era. Plans to counter this, such as by federal court lawsuits, might not even be publicized. Why? The monopoly press seems to be acting like under war-time orders. (For a sinister analogy, see the book The Captive Press in the Third Reich by Oron J. Hale.) The largest concentration of Serbs, both aliens and naturalized citizens, is in the Chicago-area. Too many federal judges, such as in the Windy City, are both tied to the banking system and are blackmailable because of ties to questionable if not criminal enterprises. So an appeal to the courts for a remedy may well be fruitless. One of the most secret detention camps is offshore Alaska, originally designed to house blacks because of racial riots. This writer had this confirmed during a radio talk show he did in Anchorage. Is that where the alien Serbs are to be sent? The Immigration and Naturalization Service, as well as the FBI, have been told they could as well grab and detain Serbian-Americans, that is, citizens, who do not quickly supply their naturalization papers. Much of this has been confirmed by sources in and out of the INS and elsewhere. A cynical historian contends the calendar stating the year as 1999 is a fraud. It is, he loudly insists, actually 1938 and we are all in a time-warp. Stay tuned. Sherman H.

Oglesby Ave., Chicago IL 60617-4870 10-16-1998 RAHM EMANUEL --- Foreign Exchange Crook for the Red Chinese? By Sherman H. Skolnick Producer/Moderator, Public Access Cable TV Program "Broadsides" Since 1963, Founder/Chairman, Citizen's Committee to Clean Up the Courts With his intense, fiery eyes, Rahm Emanuel scares some people. And some say he also arranges to bribe, blackmail, and even cause the political murder of others. According to observers, he rides his bicycle, so mad-driven, he has been described as going as wild as the headless horseman. Victims have claimed he, on occasion, forces other cyclers off bike paths into virtual pileups. He started out as a campaign aide to Richard M. Daley, son of the late Richard J. Daley, who for 21 years was Chicago's Emperor. In 1989, "the Boss" must have smiled from the grave when his son became also the Mayor of the Windy City, following the poison murder of Chicago's first black Mayor, Harold Washington. At the time of Harold's demise, the day before Thanksgiving, 1987, Richie, as he is called, was the county prosecutor duty bound to investigate the strange death of the Mayor. Instead of inquiring, Richie acquired Harold's chair in City Hall. [This writer, through his recorded phone message at the time taking in calls at more than 500 per hour, was the only one giving details of the political assassination written off as a "heart seizure" by the monopoly press by way of sidestepping fear of a race riot. In 1991, with the onset of my Public Access Cable TV Program, I was the only one to finally get the details onto television. A week after my cablecast, the Secret Service sheepishly announced that they were aware of a "plot" against Harold Washington but lacked the means to investigate.] Because of the patronage army still commanded by the Daley family image and financial octopus, Richard Daley could have most likely become the Mayor minus Rahm Emanuel's specialty, "opposition research," a fancy term for getting deep dirt on would-be opponents, or maybe, flattening them out with a baseball bat or smashing their campaign office, Chicago-style. Knowledgeable law enforcement sources contend that Rahm Emanuel's specialty, where necessary, also includes bribery, blackmail, even murder disguised as "suicide" or vehicle "accidents." In 1991, moving to Little Rock, Rahm Emanuel jump-started the presidential campaign of Bill Clinton by reportedly latching onto a three-million-dollar portion of clandestine funds used to cover up an embezzlement. Over fifty-eight million dollars of federal funds had been quietly parked with Household International and Household Bank to make good the pending claims of Chicago-area caulking contractor, Joseph Andreuccetti, that various financial institutions had swindled him out of very large sums. Of that parked fund, fifty million dollars was secretly transferred to Little Rock in an attempt to cover up a 47-million-dollar embezzlement of Madison Guaranty Savings loan for which Bill and Hillary are subject to federal criminal prosecution and jail. The 3-million-dollar gap, known in mob parlance familiar to Rahm Emanuel as "street tax," was quickly given to Clinton when he informed Emanuel that Clinton needed funds pronto to get himself into front-running status in the presidential campaign. In a Sunday Magazine cover story about Rahm Emanuel, the fixer, the Chicago Tribune referred to it, 11/23/97, page 34: "'Between the time he came on board in November 1991 to the first of the year somehow $3 million was raised,' says David Wilhelm of Chicago, the campaign director at the time and former chairman of the Democratic National Committee. 'It was enough to catapult him [Clinton] into front-runner status.'" (Emphasis added.) In remarks about the mysterious 50 million dollars in the Congressional Record, Cong. Dan Burton (R., Ind.) promised to put the documents of Clinton's crimes in the Congressional Record soon thereafter. Apparently the target of blackmail and threats, Cong. Burton failed to fulfill his promise and his then-Chief of Staff refused to explain why. See: Cong. Record, 5/29/96, pages H5627-28. The unauthorized transfer of 50 million dollars of federal funds, so far, has kept Bill and Hillary Clinton from being prosecuted for embezzlement. All this thanks to Cong. Henry Hyde, who has a large financial interest in the operations of Household International and Household Bank. Is it a mere coincidence, with his serious conflicts of

Skolnick Producer/Moderator, Public Access Cable TV Program "Broadsides" Since 1963, Founder/Chairman, Citizen's Committee to Clean Up the Courts Illinois' new governor, George H. Ryan, reportedly won the 1998 election by bribery. Since 1990, Ryan had been Illinois Secretary of State, a position long known to be part of massive corruption. A number of previous occupants of that office, that is in charge of the State's drivers license and vehicle plates facilities, were shown to be corrupt. A previous Secretary of State, Paul Powell, siphoned off millions of dollars which were kept in shoe-boxes in his closet in his apartment. Applications for licenses and such sent to his office showed that the remittances were to be made out to his name. Apparently he literally thought the money was for him personally. The Illinois Secretary of State has had a long reported tradition of corruptly issuing untraceable license plates for gangsters' vehicles. A large portion of the nation's interstate "chop shop" business is centered as well in Illinois. "Chop shops" steal cars, often with harmless appearing tow trucks targeting cars in shopping malls, for the purpose of dismantling the vehicle and using and selling the parts. A previous Illinois Secretary of State, who later became a US Senator, was, with his family, reportedly himself in these lucrative criminal enterprises. A competing "chop shop" operator, who grumbled too loud about that corrupt state official, was conveniently assassinated. Assisting the immunity of "chop shop" operators are some corrupt FBI agents who are silent partners in these interstate rackets. As we pointed out on our public access Cable TV Program "Broadsides" prior to the 1998 election, George H. Ryan reportedly meets from time to time with gangster-linked cronies in Jamaica, an island long-known for smuggling "ganja", high quality marijuana, into the US. [A good question: does Ryan know anything about the dope traffic flooding Illinois?] According to polls, Republican candidate for Illinois Governor Ryan was running neck-in-neck with candidate Glenn Poshard, a Democrat US Congressman from a far downstate district. Ryan was ahead by an estimated six percent of the expected vote. Two Third Party candidates or hopefuls, of the Libertarian Party of Illinois and the US Taxpayers Party, were fielding candidates as well for Governor. One of them, Jim Tobin, Libertarian, was believed to be quite popular and apparently had ample funds for advertising his campaign. Between them, the two Third Party candidates were expected to garner 8 or 9 percent of the vote. Ryan's campaign advisors reportedly informed him that this Third Party vote would be subtracted from the expected vote for him, making Democrat Poshard the expected winner. As traditional for all the years in the US, a forest of obscure laws awaits any would-be Third Party candidate [assuming that votes for such a candidate are actually correctly counted, which is a wrong assumption]. In Europe, to their credit, Third Party candidates get on the ballot without a blitzkrieg of legalities targeting them. The US Supreme Court, carrying out the wishes of the Establishment's two often similar parties, has failed once and for all to adequately strike down, as unconstitutional, all the State laws making it often near impossible for Third Parties to get on the ballot. Rulings by lower court federal judges, often banker-judges tied to large financial enterprises, are routinely upheld by the high court refusing to consider such Third Party cases. Most states require the circulation of more Third Party petitions than that of the two Establishment parties. A variety of legal-sounding excuses are given, such as the Third Party is not a "serious" entity. Despite this legal battlefield dedicated to blowing them up on the way to getting on the ballot, some Third Party candidates or hopefuls do succeed in getting on the ballot, especially when the expected vote for them does isfaction with the platforms of the two "regular" parties, was expected in Illinois to make the best showing in years. Candidate petitions to get on the ballot were scrutinized as never before. Despite that, the party had more than enough valid petitions. The Illinois State Board of Elections rejected the petitions of the Libertarian Party of Illinois. The Cook County Judge, that hears such election board matters, upheld their ruling. To further deter the Libertarian Party, the Election Board recommended that
