Conspiracy Nation -- Vol. 11 Num. 16
|
||
|
|
=======================================
|
||
|
|
("Quid coniuratio est?")

FORT SKOLNICK
|
||
|
|
=============
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The place: An urban dwelling on a quiet street in a grimy
|
||
|
|
south-side Chicago neighborhood. There resides the veteran
|
||
|
|
investigator, Sherman H. Skolnick. There is a nip of autumn in
|
||
|
|
the air. Many leaves have fallen.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The situation: Lately, the muckraking journalist has been
|
||
|
|
dodging brickbats. Skolnick has recently stated that he has
|
||
|
|
never before felt himself to be in such great danger. On August,
|
||
|
|
28, 1997, his colleague, Joseph Andreuccetti, suffered an illegal
|
||
|
|
raid by reputed "law enforcement" personnel, according to court
|
||
|
|
documents filed by Andreuccetti and Skolnick. One of the reputed
|
||
|
|
"law enforcement" agents allegedly spoke to Skolnick by phone,
|
||
|
|
from Andreuccetti's home, and warned him that, "You're next,
|
||
|
|
Skolnick."
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now, Skolnick seems to be in danger from a different quarter. In
|
||
|
|
his current recorded phone message, listeners can hear part of a
|
||
|
|
taped conversation he had with one Gunther Russbacher.
|
||
|
|
Russbacher is well-known as an insider in various covert
|
||
|
|
operations that occurred in the 1980s. Mr. Russbacher insists,
|
||
|
|
however, that he is now retired from such activities.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Russbacher is a scarey fellow, based on my own conversations with
|
||
|
|
knowledgeable sources. Though it is my belief he is indeed now
|
||
|
|
retired from officially-sanctioned intelligence activities, it is
|
||
|
|
also my impression that he is an explosive character, subject to
|
||
|
|
violent rages, especially if and/or when he is under the
|
||
|
|
influence of alcohol. I believe that he is capable, if and/or
|
||
|
|
when under the influence of alcohol, of "suggesting" to one or
|
||
|
|
several of his past contacts that "so and so" needs to be "taken
|
||
|
|
care of." For that reason I am *not* transcribing Skolnick's
|
||
|
|
current message. It is running for a limited time, and can be
|
||
|
|
heard for the price of a regular phone call. (773-731-1100)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I will say that, in Skolnick's latest recorded message,
|
||
|
|
Russbacher can be heard obliquely warning Skolnick to "back off
|
||
|
|
the [Princess] Diana story" or else he is likely to "burn his
|
||
|
|
fingers." I have urged Skolnick to be careful.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
So Mr. Skolnick now seems endangered from more than one source.
|
||
|
|
I visualize him now as if in a scene from World War I: his small
|
||
|
|
home is surrounded by deep trenches; barbed wire encircles the
|
||
|
|
perimeter; and Skolnick himself is crouched down and wearing a
|
||
|
|
World War I-vintage helmet. He is living in a virtual "Fort
|
||
|
|
Skolnick," all for daring to look for the story that others are
|
||
|
|
afraid to tell.
