INTRODUCTION
Most
books start out acknowledging all those who aided the
author in the project of compiling, investigating and
assisting in the putting together of the book. Such
as named witnesses, sources of data, fact checkers,
librarians and other government and official or non-official
custodians and compilers of books and records, public
and private.
Why are they not listed here? Perhaps, what follows
may supply sufficient answers.
Scattered among myself and my volunteer associates
located on several continents, is a vast horde of materials
used for over four decades in compiling our reports.
Since 1963, I have been the Founder and Chairman of
The Citizen's Committee to Clean Up the Courts, a title
designed to sound harmless. In the beginning, coming
to the realization of the depth of corruption and venality
involved in the instruments of justice, I was for naming
our group "Committee to Smash the Courts." An older
associate of mine suggested, however, a name that little
old ladies could politely mention while balancing but
not spilling their teacups.
Over the four decade period, we as a group of investigators,
researchers, and such--not a monthly luncheon society--have
come to be Ahead of the Parade, having both negative
and positive implications. We came to have useful data
to sense the trend of events as they were still unknown
or just unfolding but censored.
I am the spokesperson, scrivener and commentator,
perhaps also the parade marshall, of a vast volunteer
group of highly skilled loosely knit associates, clandestine
interviewers, inside records snatchers, secretly supportive
media people who pass along censored stories; and just
savvy persons close up to the "Horse's Mouth."
The bottom line of our product has been both praised
and reviled. Highly well-informed persons more or less
throw roses in our direction. But, poorly informed,
naïve folks are forever making life sad and angry for
us, by throwing general condemnation at us wrapped around
bricks of insults.
Our critics forever scream "where are your
documents? Who are your sources and witnesses?"
Sometimes I take the time to respond, "Do you ask
the Editor of the New York Times if you can reach
him on the phone at all, such questions?" [I have
a listed phone, both a benefit and a jeopardy.]
Often the response is, "But YOU are not the
New York Times!" To which I quickly retort,
"Thank heaven for that! We have no financial hang-ups
like them, and we are not a front for spy agencies.
We have no reasons, as they do, to tell people our leaders
have been assassinated by 'lone assassins' and the Federal
Reserve is a supposed 'government' institution when
it is not, and our banks are on a safe and sound basis
when they are not. A host of lies, trumpeted on behalf
of the Aristocracy, 'the powers that be', the Ultra
Rich, the Establishment, or the Ruling Class, or whatever
you call THEM. We have no built-in reason to falsely
shape peoples' viewpoints to serve an ulterior purpose
useful to those who violate the Constitutional principle
of governing with the consent of those governed.”
So, in a moment of undiplomatic candor calling
critics as know-nothings, I continue our work although
hecklers persist. They are not satisfied by my explanations
that we do primary investigations, not simply footnoting
our reports with references to the newspaper articles,
magazine pieces and books of others. I am even stunned
to realize that most do not even know the significance
of the term PRIMARY INVESTIGATIONS--getting, by whatever
means humanly possible, data close up if not actually
from whispers of the insiders.
Early on, based on grim realities, we formulated
among ourselves, iron-clad policies for the guidance
and long-term continuation of our work.
We
shall never, never, never reveal or identify sources
and witnesses of inside information.
Why? Because the corrupt bench and the bar, the
mafia-like "lawyers' union", the joint media/government
spies and propagandists, the "devil's army"--all
are fully prepared to destroy the reputation if not
the income and yes, the very life, of those tucked away
in key places, inside and outside the government, the
dark corners of real power, the monopoly press, and
such, who secretly further our crusading projects against
the highly corrupt courts and the bloody spy agencies.
Since
we cannot protect witnesses and sources, we vow never,
never, never to reveal the same in our reports.
Seeking to stop our work, judges have demanded
of me as the leader, that I reveal how, where, when,
and with whom, we know these things of which we publicly
accuse receivers of bribes and doers of dirty and murderous
tricks on others. Upon my absolute refusal to identify
the way we investigate malefactors, the Judges have
over the last several decades time and again imprisoned
me, not for actual crimes, but for "contempt of
court", a judge-created punishment arising from
the mists and vapors of narrow-minded cleric-judges,
dictators in black robes sitting in high-ceilinged throne
rooms.
This has been an extreme burden and jeopardy thrown
upon me. I have been a paraplegic since childhood paralysis
from infantile paralysis, called polio, getting about
very haltingly if at all, on heavy braces and crutches,
and traveling primarily in a wheelchair. Just for favoring
truth and justice over bribery and the big fix, I have
been repeatedly hauled away in heavily-armored "paddy
wagons", jail trucks, as if the authorities had
captured the most notorious criminal in the entire history
of the nation. [A picture of me being thus moved to
prison appears in Time magazine, in an August
1969 issue.]
The bulk of all the judges and lawyers ever sent
to prison for bribery in the long history of the United
States were, believe it or not, sent there through our
work in the last four decades. When, for example, in
1969, we publicly fingered for bribery the highest level
Federal Appeals Judge, one step below the U.S. Supreme
Court--the highest level such Judge in the nation's
history--his judicial co-conspirators set about to try
to jail me for contempt of court, to try to silence
me. Chicago U.S. District Court Chief Judge Edwin Robson
at the time issued a decision of his court, which he
caused to be widely circulated, labeling me as the head
of night-riders, like the Ku Klux Klan, running down
"honest judges".
Himself a banker-gangster-judge, a notorious drunk
injured by falling down, while intoxicated, a flight
of stairs, Chief Judge Robson sought to protect Chicago
Federal Appeals Judge Otto Kerner, Jr., former Illinois
Governor. Kerner held a press conference where I was
not allowed to say more than two dozen words, and said
I was a "terrible liar". Yet, he was sent
to federal prison for bribery and other crimes as I
publicly accused him to his face. Kerner died an ex-convict.
Kerner's grandson, Antoine, an orphan adopted as
Kerner's son, on the phone said to me in great anger,
"My grandfather told me, Mr. Skolnick, you are
the evil general heading the largest secret army in
this nation. He could not escape you."
Ready to burst out laughing at such an outrageous
accusation, I could not convince the grandson that it
was simply false.
A state revenue investigator, in his report, labeled
me as being mysteriously tied to forces at the highest
level, financial and otherwise, but that he was unable
to find out the details. It was another laughable accusation
by those stung by our fingering them for high crimes.
Being "Ahead of the Parade" means revealing
details of terrible dirty business, by Banker-Judges,
Court vipers and espionage covert operators, months
if not years ahead of any revelations by what we call
"The Liars and Whores of the Press", if not
completely and forever censored by them.
At a press conference where I attended as was usual
for me, without a so-called press-pass issued by the
police and the U.S. Secret Service (I contend requiring
such a pass is unconstitutional), I showed my anger
at the lapdog reporters, hurling my coined phrase, "Liars
and Whores of the Press". A woman reporter carrying
one of those highly expensive large leather purses began
swinging at me about to strike me in the face. I reminded
her of the laws of assault and battery as it might apply
to seeking to damage a defenseless cripple sitting in
a wheelchair.
I suddenly realized she thought I was limiting
the word "whores" just to women reporters. For a long
time thereafter, in using the term, I added male and
female whores of the press.
It is a troubling understatement to say we are
often misunderstood by those addicted to the pressfakers
like hooked on a narcotic.
Since some of our team have our own small offset
presses, for many years we disclosed our reports as
leaflets printed by the tens of thousands, handed out
in front of courthouses and at student seminars I conducted
across the country. Starting in 1971, we had a recorded
phone message disseminating our data. Our own equipment,
not an expensive 900 profit-creating number. With our
own special equipment, and at a time when additional
phone lines were cheap, at the peak of our recorded
phone message work, in the 1970s, we had our message
going out on 30 roll-over phone lines, the incoming
calls automatically jumping to the next open phone line
in the chain. In later years, with changes in the technology
offering more sophisticated equipment and provisions,
we handled the phone volume with far fewer incoming
lines.
In 1987-1988, because we put out a taped message
on a super-hot topic, the phone company bosses called
me one day.
"Mr. Skolnick, we DEMAND you shut down all
your equipment at once. The tremendous flood of calls
to you is about to burn out the entire circuit. Otherwise,
no one in the entire Southeast Section of Chicago will
have phone service. And it will be your entire fault."
I angrily answered, "The media and the phone
company can go STRAIGHT TO HELL. I am putting out the
censored truth how Chicago's first black Mayor, Harold
Washington, was assassinated by being poisoned. I will
continue telling the truth even if the whole phone exchange
blows up by overload." And I banged down my phone.
On a day in January 1988, without interviewing
me, within a twenty-four hour period, every media outlet
in Chicago--print, radio, and television--ran a story
calling me a "liar" but my side was never
allowed to be heard by them. Later we obtained the details
of an elite government unit, not to have been revealed
for thirty years, that the murder of the Mayor was justified
because he was perceived as being a closet "Communist"
endangering the city government. In 1991, my public
access Cable TV Program in Chicago ran the details of
the assassination plot.
Since 1991, I have been a regular panelist and
since 1995, the Moderator/Producer of "Broadsides,"
a one-hour taped weekly program cablecast within the
city limits of Chicago, to upwards of 400,000 viewers
each Monday evening, 9 PM, Channel 21 Cable TV. Segments
of some of the programs, through videostreaming, can
be seen anytime, worldwide, through our website, http://www.skolnicksreport.com.
