[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 [CCCC]." (312) 731-1100 and (312) 731-1505.]

Hi! Sherman Skolnick, Citizens' Committee to Clean Up the Courts,
|
|||
|
|
9800 Oglesby.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
A strange operation is the John D. and Catherine T. McArthur
|
|||
|
|
Foundation, headquartered in Chicago.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
It was founded by him. At one time, its sole asset was stock in
|
|||
|
|
his insurance company, called Bankers Life & Casualty, which he
|
|||
|
|
owned outright.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Because of the insurance industry muscle, and the foundation's
|
|||
|
|
clout, little is ever said about the insurance operation or the
|
|||
|
|
foundation. From 1935, Bankers Life specialized in cheap health
|
|||
|
|
insurance policies, later going into "cheapo" life insurance.
|
|||
|
|
McArthur called state insurance regulators "petty bureaucrats."
|
|||
|
|
One author contended McArthur may have bribed state insurance
|
|||
|
|
inspectors not to look into his books.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Critics called such insurance coverage "steamboat policy." Your
|
|||
|
|
beneficiaries could collect *only* if you were run over by a
|
|||
|
|
steamboat on Michigan Boulevard. Others call them "jackass and
|
|||
|
|
highway insurance." You could collect only if you were kicked in
|
|||
|
|
the head by a mule on a major expressway -- 10 eyewitnesses had
|
|||
|
|
to so swear, on oath. Now don't laugh. At one time the *Chicago
|
|||
|
|
Tribune* sold such ridiculous insurance policies to its
|
|||
|
|
subscribers.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
At one time or another, various "hot shots" have been directors
|
|||
|
|
of the McArthur Foundation, including Edward Levy, once head of
|
|||
|
|
the University of Chicago, later U.S. attorney general. Also
|
|||
|
|
William E. Simon, former Secretary of the Treasury and big dealer
|
|||
|
|
in buying up washed-out savings and loan associations. (By the
|
|||
|
|
way, is he involved in the CIA and S&L scandals, huh?)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Another director has been proto-fascist radio commentator, Paul
|
|||
|
|
Harvey. Of course, few notice that a major sponsor of his
|
|||
|
|
propaganda blasts has been Bankers Life & Casualty.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
John McArthur's son once contended in court that the foundation
|
|||
|
|
directors were mishandling millions of dollars of charitable
|
|||
|
|
funds. J. Roderick McArthur's death, however, stopped the lawsuit
|
|||
|
|
against the directors.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Through huge grants, the foundations manipulate activists all
|
|||
|
|
over -- including scientists, historians, and writers. Along with
|
|||
|
|
a Rockefeller front, the foundation bought out *Harpers
|
|||
|
|
Magazine*, which formerly much criticized, on occasion, major
|
|||
|
|
corporations.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Some researchers have smiled to themselves: "Hmmm... The McArthur
|
|||
|
|
Foundation seems to operate very much like those set up by the
|
|||
|
|
Central Intelligence Agency." For example, the McArthur
|
|||
|
|
Foundation is a heavy money bags for public television, including
|
|||
|
|
channel 11 [PBS] in Chicago. (By the way, another manipulator of
|
|||
|
|
channel 11 is the reputed CIA-linked William Benton Foundation, a
|
|||
|
|
functionary of which is talk show circus whip-cracker, John
|
|||
|
|
Calloway.)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The IRS and the Illinois state attorney general are supposed to
|
|||
|
|
keep a close watch on tax-free operations like the McArthur
|
|||
|
|
Foundation. *But*, it's easy to look the other way. As Illinois'
|
|||
|
|
highest legal officer, attorney general Neil Hartigan was charged
|
|||
|
|
with monitoring such "charitable" trusts. Instead, he helped
|
|||
|
|
cover up charges of the director's outrageous conduct. Over the
|
|||
|
|
years, various state and federal officials have suppressed data
|
|||
|
|
about mysterious operations like the McArthur Foundation.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Tax-free moneyships are a perfect vehicle for covert operations.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Footnote: McArthur's son, Roderick, was involved with George
|
|||
|
|
DeMohrenschildt and others in the plot to assassinate President
|
|||
|
|
Kennedy.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
In their December 21st, 1985 issue, the *Nation* magazine charged
|
|||
|
|
that the McArthur Foundation manipulated their tax exemption.
