THE BIG LIE and THE OIL-SOAKED MONOPOLY PRESS
by Sherman H. Skolnick
Reporters that cover the U.S. Supreme Court are turning in stories they know
are the BIG LIE. In items in the New York Times and other major papers, they
are stating that the Bush Campaign's objections to the manual recount are
granted to be heard by the U.S. Supreme Court. I happen to know a lot about
that high court in Washington and their procedures. I hold a record of sorts
having, in the past, petitioned that Court perhaps more times than most
anyone else in that Court's history. In the Florida election mess, two
petitions for what the high court calls "Certiorari", were filed. Listed on
the Clerk of the U.S. Supreme Court's records as #836, is George W. Bush,
petitioner versus Palm Beach County Canvassing Board, et al.respondents. In
that one, according to the high court's order of Friday, November 24, 2000,
certiorari was gr! anted. The court narrowed down the petitioner to argue about
the federal statute, Title 3 United States Code Section 5, dealing with the
state's appointment of State Electors to the Electoral College. The court
order stated, "the parties are directed to brief and argue the following
question What would be the consequences of this Court's finding that the
decision of the Supreme Court of Florida does not comply with 3 U.S.C.
Sec.5?" The procedure, seldom mentioned outside law schools and such, in the
U.S. Supreme Court is that petitioner is to basically knock on the door and
beg to be heard. It is called Petition for Certiorari. In a recent term of
the high court, since the judges are also lazy and indifferent, there were
1600 such begging petitions pending. Guess what? Using only one word,
"denied", the nine judges refused to hear each and every one of the pending
petitions and gave no reason for refusing them. The second begging! petition
filed in the high court was listed as #837, Ned Siegel vs. Theresa LePore.
The high court order stated, "The Petition for a writ of certiorari before
judgment is denied without prejudice." This case involves recount issues. The
oil-soaked monopoly press, to favor their CIA darling, George W. Bush,
promotes the BIG LIE, that ALL the issues mentioned on the TV by Bush's
lawyers are going to be heard. Not so. Hitler's propaganda chief, Joseph
Goebels, was an amateur compared to the News York Times, the Washington Post,
the Chicago Tribune, the Los Angeles Times, and others among the
press-fakers. Among other things, their purpose is to ignore that one of the
presidential candidates, Albert Gore, Jr., won the plurality of the POPULAR
VOTER, and that Bush is seeking to gain the Electoral College trick through
seeking to defeat any kind of manual count. [As Texas Governor, Bush signed a
manual recount law in his state on ! close elections.] I do not appreciate
being called a Gore loyalist simply for pointing out the truth. I am an
independent. In the 1960s and 1970s I was called "Mr. One Man, One Vote".
Being self-educated in law, in Illinois, in the federal courts, I brought and
won, on behalf of all voters and myself, various suits to re-do Illinois'
then terribly gerry-mandered election districts, in the principle of equal
numbers of residents in each district. Some districts had 150 thousand more
residents than other districts, thus a vote in such a district had less
weight than elsewhere. My suits re-apportioned various districts giving the
equal chance, for the first time, for example, for latinos and Afro-Americans
to have proper representation in Congress, in Chicago City Council, and other
elected tribunals. Before the era of plain-paper cheap copiers, I used a
high-speed mimeograph stencil machine to crank other stacks of court papers
corrupt judges got steam-rollered by me also when they tried to hold secret
proceedings, without me, in some of these publicly important suits. Over the
last ten years on my weekly public access Cable TV Show, I occasionally
outrage some naive viewers by proclaiming they we ordinary Americans may be
in a permanent post-election period. That what ails America most likely
cannot be remedied anymore by elections since the ruling elite pick only
blackmailable types for high office. That the ultra-rich rule us by the
BULLET, NOT THE BALLOT. Leaders some of us thought were charming and possibly
good for the people, have been assassinated and falsely blamed onto lone
assassins. Is this the last presidential election for America? And from here
on in, ordinary Americans will be interested only in the right to bear arms
under the 2nd Amemdment? A guarantee by force! against a central government
tyranny to abolish all our other beautifully-worded rights, privileges, and
immunities set forth in the Bill of Rights? I am often misunderstood by being
ahead of the parade. Stay tuned.
