There are
certain more
or less
censored or
forbidden
subjects.
And if one
writes on
the same, an
author can
flunk a
popularity
test. Why?
One simple,
but
incomplete
reason, is
that too
many
inhabitants
of North
America
believe in
fairy tales.
If the
monopoly
press
designates
someone as
their
"hero", not
enough peons
are
suspicious.
This article
may qualify
to put me on
the "crap
list" of
acceptable
commentators.
[1] About
thirty five
years ago,
Ralph Nader
had a group
of
purportedly
"idealistic"
young men
and women.
He dubbed
them "Nader's
Raiders".
One part of
that group
in the
Chicago area
met
occasionally
at my house.
In my own
sly way, I
quizzed
them. Who
are these
folks
crusading
supposedly
against the
"Establishment"?
All of them
were young
law students
or beginning
lawyers. But crucial
to my
understanding
of them,
they were
moreover, I
quietly
discovered,
the sons and
daughters of
the ultra
rich.
Among my
close pals,
I called
such persons
"RBs", short
for rich
bitches. In
my own way,
I went down
my list of
what I urged
them to do.
INVESTIGATE
BANKER-JUDGES.
I got a
blank look.
RUNAWAY
COURT
CORRUPTION.
Another
blank.
Expose the
war-mongering
mostly
private huge
Universities.
"Nader's
Raider's"
absolutely
not
interested.
INVESTIGATE
THE
CIA/FBI's
AGENTS
PROVOCATEURS.
They
dismissed
the idea.
I tried not
to show my
suspicion.
Privately, I
discovered
directly
that they
simply
wanted to
correct some
of the more
blatant
misdeeds of
the Ruling
Class, "the
powers that
be", the
Establishment---in
other words
THEIR
elders. That
is control
perpetuated
by a play
for time,
continuing
problems of
the system
to a
generation
or more
hence, if
ever
remedied by
drastic
measures.
[2] Ralph
Nader was
good at
planting
phantasies.
Such as,
that he
lived in a
cold-water
flat, paid
almost
nothing per
month for
it, and
lived on a
very reduced
financial
level. All
of it
complete
rubbish.
Very
credible
sources
contended he
had a friend
who on
occasion
drove him
around
in their
Rolls Royce.
Nader lived
secretly in
luxury
houses. See:
"Me and
Ralph: Is
Nader Unsafe
for America"
by David
Sanford, New
Republic
Books, 1976.
[3] For
thirty years
and more,
he has been
an extremely
high-paid
visiting
lecturer at
the very
universities
identified
as the
center of
the "war
industry",
as
documented
in the book
"The Closed
Corporation",
by James
Ridgeway,
1969 (those
familiar
with the
subject, say
little has
changed
since the
book was
first
published).
Ralph Nader
was paid
between
fifteen
thousand to
thirty
thousand
dollars
honoraria
for each speech,
which took
up about
ninety
minutes of
his time on
the lecture
platform.
Nader
received
speaking
fees over
two hundred
fifty
thousand
dollars
annually,
even in the
1970s.
By the year
2000, when
he ran as a
candidate
for
President on
the Green
Party third
party
ticket, his
lecture
income was
about just
short of a
half a
million
dollars a
year. As
required by
election
regulations
to be
divulged.
[4] Calling
it the
"Green
Party"
should be a
dead
giveaway of
what they
are about.
Basically,
their idea
of the
world, at
least as I
understand
it from
having in
years past
talked to
Green Party
officials,
is that
so-called
"left-wingers",
those truly
devoted to
workers'
rights as
against
bosses, are
the "Reds".
That is
union
members,
labor
activists,
and such,
are
immediately
thought of
as dreaded
"Communists"
whether they
espouse
anything
like Marxism
or not. In
simple form,
it is the
"Greens",
presumably
"anti-Communists"
versus "The
Communists".
I suspect
some Green
Party
supporters
will holler
me down on
my analysis
of the
situation.
Nader busted
the Union of
his own
low-paid
workers.

Network", by

[6] From
about 1969
into the
1970s, I
gave
lectures and
seminars all
over the
U.S. on the
subject of
"agent
provocateurs"
and
war-mongers
and war-
profiteers.
This was at
small junior
colleges,
which were
mostly trade
schools for
working
class
students;
and student
government
sponsored
lectures at
State
Universities.
These
lectures
were often
vigorously
opposed by
faculty
members who
wanted to
silence me.
Placards
announcing
my upcoming
speeches
often were
torn down by
mysterious
forces.
I cannot
forget the
speech I was
scheduled to
give at a
junior
college in a
Chicago
suburb. My
court-reform
group was to
receive, for
my lecture,
seventy-five
dollars (a
laughable
sum by Nader
standards).
It was
toward the
close of the
Viet Nam
War. At the
last minute,
the college
President
revoked the
seventy-five
dollar
budget.
Into his
office came
several
disgruntled
students,
ex-GIs,
still
wearing
their Marine
outfits but
with Peace
symbols
painted on
their back.
They told
the junior
college
boss, "Look,
we want
Skolnick to
give us the
low-down on
the
war-mongers.
We learned
in Nam how
to blow up
places.
Restore the
f---ing
money, or
we're going
to level
this place
with you in
it." They
wore the
same outfits
to my
speech.
Later, over
supper with
them, they
told me all
about it. I
asked, "How
did you
survive
being so
shot at in
Nam?" They
answered,
"We slept
near the
rice paddies
and told the
Lt. that HE
should be
point man on
night patrol
and most
likely go
home himself
in a body
bag."
"Then what?"
I asked. "If
he did not
listen, we
late at
night threw
a grenade
into his
tent.
(Called
'fragging',
apparently
from the
word
fragmentation.)
And if he
survived, we
said 'Lt.,
it was
the little
V.C.woman
doing your
laundry. SHE
did it.' "
I understand
that
"fragging"
U.S.
officers is
happening in
Iraq by the
"grunts".
[7] Nader, a
lawyer,
apparently
never openly
discusses
the
situation
with THIRD
PARTY
candidates
in America.
They are
obstructed
from having
equal ballot
access by a
thick forest
of State
laws. And
the U.S.
Supreme
Court,
traditionally
made up of
zillionaires
on behalf of
the Ruling
Class, has
repeatedly
refused to
strike down
these
obstructions.
Europe, to
their
credit, does
NOT block
third,
fourth, and
even fifth
party
candidates
from sitting
in their
Parliaments.
By way of a
defect in
the U.S.
Constitution,
the highest
Executive,
the
President,
is NOT
required to
come before
the
Parliament,
that is
Congress, to
be regularly
if not daily
grilled and
even, if
necessary,
heckled as
to his
policies, as
a Prime
Minister is
before a
Parliament.
In the
annual State
of the Union
speech, the
President is
not
questioned
in Congress
by anyone
present
there. On
that
extremely
rare
occasion of
Resolutions
of
Impeachment
in the
House,
followed by
a Senate
Impeachment
Trial, the
President is
not required
to attend to
give oral
testimony or
answers.
In a
Parliament
system, the
Prime
Minister has
to appear
almost daily
to be
grilled if
not heckled
by the
"back-benchers".
He must
organize
votes above
a certain
number to
introduce
any
legislation.
Does Nader
ever comment
on the
arithmetic
of American
law? Notice.
Canada has
about thirty
million
population.
And they
have about
three
hundred
representatives
in their
Lower House.
GET THIS.
AMERICA,
with about
THREE
HUNDRED
MILLION
POPULATION,
has just 435
Representatives
in the Lower
House, and
100 Senators
in the U.S.
SENATE. Most
every
Representative
and Senator
is a lawyer
and/or
represents
huge
financial
interests,
not the
ordinary
person in
their
back-home
district.
Among 535
that purport
to represent
Americans
THERE IS
CURRENTLY
JUST ONE
"INDEPENDENT",
a great
rarity to
have even
one. NOT A
SINGLE THIRD
PARTY
CANDIDATE is
generally
permitted to
sit in
Congress.
I have
particular
insight into
this. In the
1960s and
1970s, in
Illinois, on
behalf of
myself as a
voter, and
on behalf of
all voters
similarly
situated, I
brought and
won vast
class action
Reapportionment
suits as to
most every
type of
State and
U.S.
election
district. My
suits were
on the basis
of scrapping
the
then-current
mal-apportioned
districts
and applying
the doctrine
of ONE MAN,
ONE VOTE,
each
district
re-drawn to
have, within
a very few
per cent,
equal
population.
The federal
judges on
occasion
violently
opposed
me. In my
suit against
the Mayor &
City Council
of Chicago,
to
re-district
the fifty
city Wards
into equal
population
voting
districts,
and open the
way for
blacks and
latinos to
have equal
representation;
I accused
the Chief
Judge of the
Court,
assigned to
my case, of
being beholden
to gangsters
in that the
Chief Judge
was
a Director
of the
gangster-originated
Albert
Parvin
Foundation.
The Chief
Judge in
1967,
falsely told
his bailiffs
I was a
"violent,
dangerous"
person, and
two bailiffs
in his
courtroom,
without
provocation,
grabbed hold
of my
wheelchair
and tried to
turn it
upside down
with me in
it. Eighteen
mass media
reporters
were
witnesses to
the same but
did not
report it.
The
situation
became an
assault
and battery
case by me.
The higher
court said I
am not
entitled to
any remedy
even though
there was no
proof I was
a "violent,
dangerous"
person.
[Skolnick
vs. Guadagno,
et al., U.S.
Court of
Appeals, 7th
Circuit
case.]
[8] For more
than 12
years, I
conducted a
one-hour
weekly,
public
access Cable
TV Show,
cablecast
within the
City Limits
of Chicago,
to upwards
of 400,000
viewers. In
many
election
periods, we
put on Third
Party
candidates,
often
completely
ignored by
the monopoly
press. I
found most
of such
candidates
to be
intellectually
superior
compared to
what the
Establishment
offered the
public by
way of two
parties, the
candidates
of which are
generally
bought and
sold.
The
press-fakers,
generally,
if forced to
depict a
Third Party
candidate,
BUT NOT
THEIR BOY
RALPH NADER,
usually
describe
them in a
way that
they are
nuts, kooks,
or
numb-skulls
with no
platform or
policies
whatever and
having no
news
or issue
value
whatever.
In the year
2000
Presidential
election,
Ralph Nader,
a
spoiler, pulled
97 thousand
votes in
Florida
while
condemning
the
Democrats.
As a
disrupter,
Nader made
it possible
and
economical
for GOP
officials to
purportedly
heavily
bribe South
Florida
DEMOCRAT
officials,
at a
strategic
moment, to
stop the
recount of
Democrat
ballots.
Candidate
Albert Gore,
Jr., had won
the popular
vote
nationwide
by a 600,000
plurality.
The Florida
vote was
crucial to
the
Electoral
College vote
system.
A
five-judge,
military-style
Junta, on
the U.S.
Supreme
Court
corruptly
installed
George W.
Bush as the
occupant and
resident of
the White
House. To

records of

court in
Washington,

It is no
secret that
Bush White
House bagman
and
Rasputin,
Karl Rove,
is overjoyed
that Ralph
Nader has
announced he
is running
on Third
Party ticket
for
President.
If not on
the Green
Party
ticket,
Nader may
not even be
on lesser
state
ballots, but
no doubt
will be
shown on
those
necessary
for the big
fix favoring
possibly
Bush.
IS RALPH
NADER
AMERICA'S
MOST
PROTECTED
AND
CONCEALED
"Agent
Provocateur"?
Using
polished
rhetoric to
mislead
those
dumbed-down
by the
oil-soaked,
spy-riddled
American
monopoly
press?
Retired
spooks aver
that Nader
is a CIA
weirdo
provocateur.
He appears
to be part
of the gay
underground
media and
government
cult, that
includes
George W.
Bush and
U.S. Senator
John Kerry.
IS NADER
JUST MORE
BUSH WHITE
HOUSE
ELECTION
INSURANCE?
Is Nader
part of "The
Secret
Agenda" to
discredit
the U.S.
nation-state, put
an end
to Presidential
elections,
and create
the
Breakaway
States of
the
disunited provinces
of America?
[That was
one purpose
of the Brits
in turning
the North
versus the
South, on
the excuse
of the
"slavery"
issue, in
the U.S.
Civil War,
or "War
Between the
States".]
AND TO RUN
THIS LAND
WITH AN
EMERGENCY
FASCIST
PANEL, not a
Presidency?
[Visit
earlier
parts of
this series
as well as
my
co-authored
series The
Middle-Finger
News.]
For example,
on Sunday,
February 22,
2004, Nader
appeared on
the NBC
Network
program,
with NBC
owned by
General
Electric.
Did Nader
say anything
against
G.E.?
He should
have
mentioned---but
didn't--- that
the Albert
Gore family
was
instrumental
in the
perpetuation
of the
Tennessee
Valley
Authority,
TVA, by
which
electricity
in that
State is
almost free.
Further, the
Gores were
instrumental
for the
first and
only time in
U.S. history
to get the
top
officials of
the electric
machinery
monopoly,
General
Electric and
Westinghouse,
put in
federal
prison for
anti-trust
violations, fingered
as they were
by the TVA
and the
Gores, 1961.
Is Ralph
Nader ready
to adopt a
motto
against BIG
OIL, BIG
MEDIA, BIG
ELECTRICITY?
And how
about Nader's
cronies in
the
war-mongering
high-tech
electronics
industry,
and he owns
millions of
dollars of
their
stocks? Does
Nader ever
raise
questions
about the
political
assassination
of U.S.
leaders,
such as John
F. Kennedy,
and civil
rights
activists,
such as
Malcolm X
and Dr.
King? Of
course not.
Does Nader
ever raise
questions
about the
Queen of
England
getting huge
U.S. cotton
subsidies
based on
British
Royalty
having owned
the Illinois
Central
Railroad,
from Chicago
to New
Orleans,
operating
through
farmlands in
the South
and owning
vast tracts
of land on
either side
of their
tracks?
Does Nader
ever raise
questions
about the
Bush Crime
Family being
in a ONE
HUNDRED
BILLION
DOLLAR joint
account with
Queen
Elizabeth
II, in her
private
bank, Coutts
Bank London?
[

(And that
Saddam
Hussein,
having been
a private
business
partner of
Daddy Bush,
has a huge
interest in
that account
as well?
[9] I
conducted
seminars at
small
colleges,
not those
big private
ones of the
Ruling
Class, and
at a
broadcast
school in
Chicago. I
used to
suggest a
possible government
undercover
operative as
a target of
the class
investigation.
I said to my
students
that as they
start the
probe, first
go down to
the
drugstore
and buy a
roll of
cotton.
"But Mr.
Skolnick,
why the
cotton?" And
I responded,
"Because
provocateurs
have
polished
rhetoric
most times
being
impossible
to
penetrate. Plug
up your
ears, do not
listen to
their mouth.
TRACE THE
MONEY.
EXAMINE
THEIR ACTS."
During the
Anti-Viet
Nam War
movement
period, I
taught
methods,
quite
successful
but often
not accepted
by naive
sorts, of
identifying
agents
provocateurs.
It is a
French term
defined as
"A secret
agent hired
to penetrate
some
organization
to incite
trouble
designed to
make the
organization
or its its
members
incur
punishment".
Methods I
taught
included
tracing the
money to
them through
CIA-linked
Foundations.
Little-known,
such
tax-exempt
entities
have to file
publicly
available
federal tax
forms.[It is
a tedious
task,
however,
following
the money
through
various
conduits,
pass-throughs,
and fronts.

Fronts".]
I was often
misunderstood,
condemned, or
ignored by
naive
idealists.
In Chicago
was a
peacenik
group headed
by a
charming CIA
operative
with
believeable
rhetoric.
Dressed as a
bearded
hippie, he
worked
tirelessly
to incite
the members
to "action".
"Don't just
sit there!"
he exhorted
his group.
"Come on.
Let's
fire-bomb
the ROTC
Center!"
[The
military
facility,
Reserve
Officers
Training
Corp.] As he
led
them into
breaking
windows and
were getting
set to
torch the
place,
the peaceniks
were
directed
right
into confronting
the National
Guard, lined
up, ready
with fixed
bayonets.
Some of the
peaceniks
were
bloodied and
later, all
were
arrested,
and the
Peace group
scattered
and
disbanded.
The
provocateur-leader? Just
before
the flash-point
of the
commotion,
he had
safely
disappeared
behind the
military
lines.
My repeated
prior
warnings to
the group
about their
"leader"
were ignored
and I
was bad-mouthed
as someone
who does not
understand
the "Peace
Movement".
Naive,
poorly-informed
persons
probably
"bought"
Ralph
Nader's
words.
Provocateurs,
to seem
credible,
say
believeable
things. So
what? In a
politically
realistic
world, they
are just
running
their mouth.
As a lawyer,
Nader is not
about to
finger
top-level
judges, as
we do, who
are
inherently
corrupt as
Banker-Judges.
He will not
really
heckle the
high court
in
Washington.
He will say
nothing
about the
British
Royals and
the Jesuits
who for two
hundred
years of
U.S.
history,
benefitted
from and
instigated
the
political
assassination
OF SEVEN
