Shennan Skolnick, Chicago legal researcher who charges that docu·ments in the National Archives will prove Lee Harvey Oswald didn't

act alon;, in killing Kennedy.

y EV RT LIMINEA black former Secret Service agent was railroaded to

jail because he tried to tell the Warren Commission someuncomfortable truths about the assassination of PresidentKennedy.

The agent was Abraham Bold·en, now on parole after serving39 months in prison on apparent·

Jy trumped-up charges involvingthe selling of information toconn erfeiters.

Bolden had wanted to tell the

Warren ·Commission in 1964 thathe knew of a plot to kill the

·He charges that Kennedy wassupposed to be assassinated inChicago •bu t the plDt was shiftedto Dallas when the President

cancelled his trip to Illinois be·cause of a cold. ' ·

The plot is linked not Dnlyto Lee Harvey Oswald but a mannamed Thomas Arthur Vallee,now 37 whereabouts unknown,described as closely resembling

Oswald.

Several other private research·

ers into the Kennedy assassinationhave uncovered evidence of asecond Oswald" seen here and

there in the U.S. while the realOswald was known to be n Mex

leaders Fred Hampton and MarkClark in Chicago.

On Nov. 2, 1963, Thomas Valleewas stopped and charged with aminor traffic violation one hour

before JFK's proposed arrival inChicago (he never showed up).

The FBI immediately entered

the case and in its report linkedVallee with an aborted assassina·tion plot. Three FBI documentspertaining to this now are lock·ed in the National Archives.

The documents reveal that thewitness against Vallee was DavidGroth, who at the time was notreferred to as a policeman, nor

The raid was arganized •byState's Attorney , Edward Hanra·

han, who d e f e n d ~ d the actions ofhis raiders right up to the m<>·

ment the grand jhry slapped them

down.

In 1964, Hanrahan was U.S.Attorney for Northern Illinois.

It was to Hanrahan's officethat Agent Bolden was escortedon May 18, 1964, the day after

Bolden tried to talk with theChief Counsel of the WarrenCommission, J. Lee Rankin. BDld·

Ordered back to ChicagD >n apretext, Bolden was told byHanrahan that he, Bolden. wasunder indictment for selling evi·dence to counterfeiters.

In his first trial, BDlden got ahung jury; but in his secondtrial, two counterfeiters who werepolice informers were "found''who testified- against him. BDldengot a six-year sentence.

But in their own trial. the

counterfeiters admitted they liedagainst Bolden.

When Skolnick's charges brokesome weeks ago, Bolden - nowout on parole - was called inby his probation advisor and toldto keep his IUDnth shut or goback to prison.

Skolnick says that Bolden knew

about the Chicago plot on JFK,

and that one of the hidden documents prDves the Secret Servicehad Thomas Vallee under sur-veillance before Nov. 2, 1963,knew that he was linked to LeeHarvey Oswald and at least two

other men.

Skolnick also says that Vallee'scar, bearing New York license

registered .to Lee Harvey Os-wald.

news sto r y on the other s ide of thl.s sheet r efers to the case of Skolnick vs. National Archives

No . 70 C 790, fi led in U.S. Dist rict Court, Northern Dist rict of Illinois, Eastern

Div., (Chicago), Clerk's off ice of which i s on 20th floor, Federal Building , 219 So. Dearborn, Chicago

The story is very accurat e about the suit with the minor exception that Daniel Gr oth is called

David._] · Information b rought out in Court in case No. 70 C 790:

(1) Another Secr et Service agent , Harvey Henderson, had a part in planning the assassination of

President Kennedy. Hender son was quietly sacked from the Secret Service about the time of the

assassination , Nov. 22, 1963 .

(2) A do cum ent attached to th e suit, shows that the day after the assassination, Lee Harvey ·

Oswald, the alleged sole as sas sin according to the Warren Report , made a collect call from th e

Dallas Jail to what appears to be hi s boss or contact , John David Hurt, of Raleigh, North Ca r olina ,

who had been a special agent in the U. S. Army Counter Intelligence Corps. Oswald's mother has

been saying publicly th at he r son was with the government as being , she thought , with Naval

lntellilrence .(3) Daniel Groth (who helped assassinate)llinois Black Panther Leader Fred Hampton), the suit

points out , is not a policeman as the news media tells the public, but is some kind of a federal opera

tive higher than U. S. Sec ret Service, i . e . , C. I A. The suit sets forth the circumstances suppo rted

by attached documentation, showing Groth, not acting as a policeman , helped abort the Chicago plot

against Kennedy (because something went wrong) , so that the assassins could escape and do their

thing in Dallas three weeks later .

(4) Accor ding to one National Archive s document attached to the suit, the then executive editor o

the Chicago Daily News (Nov. , 1963) , knew about the plot to kill President Kennedy in Chicago , three

weeks before Dallas , involving Oswa ld in Chicago and accomplices. The Chicago Daily News did not

run a story about the arrest of Vallee (related to the Chicago plot) , u n t l ~ Kennedy was on the

cemetery. When the Skoln ick suit was filed in Chicago , April 6, 1970, the Chicago newspapers ,

uptight about the document Skolnick attached to the suit implicating the Chicago Daily News, blocked

out the ·news of th e suit . The sto ry r an, however , worldwide , including on the Associated Press

national wire. Worldwide , that is , but not in Chicagonewspapers . WCFL Radio had an in-depth stor

(5) The released Nati onal Archives documents , attached to the su it , mentioning Oswald and his

Chicago possible look alike, Vallee , both in Chicago three weeks befor e Dallas, are regarded as one

of the greates t blunder s in th e histo ry of the Archives. Supposedly, all mention of the Chicago plotagainst Kennedy was to have been suppressed for 75 years. Skolnick insisted in court that the Archiv

should be compelled to now release the rest of tl: e Chicago p ~ o t documents since part of those docu

ments somehow slipped out of the Archives and into his possession.

(6) Chicago Federal District Judge J . Sam Perry (who is responsible for the false imprisonment

· of Abraham Bolden) is according t o other undisputed court -filed documents/ owned by the Chicago

crime cartel . Two pages of the suppres sed Blakey Report are now part of the federal court record

(Case 16615 , U.S. Court of Appeals, 7th Circuit, Chicago, clerk's office, 27th floor, Federal Bldg.

(7) The National Archives su it contends that the · . Warren Report is void (it says there was no

plot), since ther e now i s shown documented links to a plot or conspiracy to assassinate Kennedy in .

Chicago, three weeks befor e Dallas .

(8) Strange as it may seem to the uninformed, news coverage after the filing of the suit and

subsequent court event s in the suit , was inter fered with by a barrage of letters and phone calls from

one or more Warren Report cr itics , threatening lawsuits and other reprisals against various people

in the news media, if th ey continue to publi cize Skolnick's suit. Some of the Warren Report critics

assert, oddly enough , th at Skolnick had no right to ask the court to hold the Warren Report void. ·

(As long as the Warren Report is not invalidated by court on;ier , they can go on writing books and

articles criticizing and li nt -picking it .) Some absolutely mind -blowing data has been compiled about

the Warren Report crit ics as a res +ult of the National Archives suit. By a highly detailed factual

analysis , Skolnick and fellow re sea rcher s can show that some of the Warren Report critics are, of

all things , part of a clean up squad , purporting to lint -pick the Warren Report , but, in fact, stiflin

any outside effort s t o get news coverage of ,-:_; situations like the Chicago plot against Kennedy. It can

be shown, for example, that one or more Warren Report book-writing critics stifled news coverage o

another suit aQ'ainst the National Archives (a suit involving the Kennedy x-rays).

June, 1975 A REPORT ON GERALD FORD

Prepared by Sherman H Skolni ck, chairman, . and the staff, of the Citizen's Committee

to Clean Up the Courts, a Chicago-headquartered research group investigating corruption and

political assassination .

Like s. crooked boxe r , Gerald Ford is apparently being paid to take a falJ , paving the way

for Nelson Rockefelle r to be president without an el et t ion. He r e are th e fact s :

Geral d Ford was originally na m e d Leslie Lynch King, Jr. --his family were som e of the

richest people in Wyoming, with bu s in ess in tere stSj_n wool , lumber , banking, and real estate,

operating out of Rive rton, Wyoming. Connected to the Leslie King family is Pasco , Inc. , l ike

wise headquartered in Riverton. Now operating gas and oil fie lds , th ey were form e r ly Pan

American Sulphur and were very much in the es pionage business in Latin America . A director

was Leon Jaworski , recently special Wate r gate prosecutor.

In April , 1975 , Pasco was offere d 220 million dollars cash for their Vlyoming prope rt iesby a major corporation, l ater identifi ed as Rockefel le r s Standard Oil of India na. St andard

later booste d th ei r offe r to 225 million cash . Nelson Rockefeller, wanting to be pres ident with

out an election, turned loose the m as::; media on Nixon . A 1974 Senate subcommittee report .

Disclosure of Corporate Owne r ship , shows the Roc kefe llers are the prinsipal owne rs of all

three news networks and oth e r m a jor hunks of the communications and publis hing indu s tr ies .

Tri cky Dick was not framed but cornered witl1 se le ctive t r uth , as an a ttack on th e office of th e

presidzncy. Double agents, like James McCord , working for Rocky and th e CIA, he lped bring

about Nixon's downfall .

Next, Gerald Ford, a lias Leslie Lynch King, Jr . , is very vulnerable and he la1ows i t . As

outlined in the b ook The Washington Pay -off , by Rober t N. Win te r-Be r ger, F ord was a crooked

Congr essm a n . Now, after e leve n years of s i le nce, the Rockefeller-·o wn ed m ass m e dia are

beginn ing to focus on Ford as being respon s ible for cove ring up th e cons piracy involved in

th e assass ination of Preside nt Kennedy . F ord i s one of the visible, surviving members of the

infamou s Warren Commis s ion. Texas lawyer Leon Jaworski playe d a key role in th e

FOR IMME DIATE RELEASE, MARCH 18, 1974

A research and investigation group based in Chicago challenges NiXon's use of national

security as an alibi in the Watergate case . Legal researcher Shennan Skolnick, head of th e

watchdog group, says most of our atomic and defense secrets were given to Russian in th e early

19' dOs by high - ranking members of our own government. Skolnick says Nixon helped suppress

evidence related to the Alger Hiss case and that of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg . Nixon knows full

well that sec ret t es timony , in executive sess ion , before a Congress ional committee, proved

that our country's most vital secrets were knowingly given to high - lev el Soviet KGB agents by to p

ranking individuals in the Executive department of our government, and protec ted by Nix on and

the Rockefellers for more than 25 years, Skolnick contends.

Persons as sociated with Skolnick ' s Citizen's Committee to Clean Up the Courts ha ve

examined secret Congressional docum ents su ppressed for 25 years which prove these points,according to Skolnick's Chief Invest igator , Alex J. Bottos. The secret Congressional papers show

m embers of the FBI were absolutely forbidde n to arrest known Sovie t KGB agents as they were

l eaving th e United States with atomic secr et s and atomic s amples in their possess ion , according

to Bottos. 'vVhy wasn't )/int ;rbop Lockefeller arrested for his participation in t hese events, as

Nixon bas kn cwn for more th an 25 years? Skolnick asks.

Skolnick says Nixon cannot cl1.im that he didn't know that Mr. and Mrs . E. Howard Hunt

were blackmailing Nixon for these and other equally damaging documents. According to Bottos,

Nixon while vice president was the '.iVhite House ac tion officer for the Bay of Pigs episode and

worked ~ e l y with Hunt who headed up the Cuban invasion plan. Bottos was a priv a te recrui ter

for Hunt in n a t i o n for the ill-fated attack .

Nixon i s not telling the truth about the vVate rgate hu sh money unless he c u s s c s the million

of dollars of securities given to E . Howard Hunt and carried by his wife on the plane, S -:olnick says

Those valuables became an issue in a reC'eirt' Chicago s tri ke Force- prosecution in the federal

district court in Chicago . (U.S . vs . Joseph Sarelli et al. , 73 CR 429. ) The Strike Force was

prosec uting a stolen secur: .ties and airplc:ne piracy gang identified by Eottos who infiltrat ed the

crime s y n d . c ~ t e operation to crack the case. As shown by undisputed federal ccc•r:: records, filed

in the Sarelli case, Bottos was the government s star witness until Bottos drlred mention the sam e

gang was invo lv ed n th e robbery of :he plane on which Mrs . Hunt died in December, 1972, in

Chicago.

Accordino- to Bottos' sworn statement in federal court, one of the top people in the gang was

Bennie Smith wBb/furned loose by the Strike Force to avoid opening up the i: at ergate angle. Bottos

said that while pretending to be th e fence " for the stolen securit ies gang, he a•1d an associate

were shown some of the valuable s a:1d documents t aken from Mrs. Hunt's belongings after the

crash. Refe rence to Mrs. Hunt's valuables is contained in a previou sly suppressed FJ.>I report put

intr the Sarelli case record.

Skol ni.ck contends the crash of United Air Lines flight 553 near Midway Airport, Olicago, wa

sabotage intended to kill Dorothy Hunt and 11 other 'Natergate -connected persons on board. In a

special hearing of National Tran spo r tation Safety Board, in June, 1973, Skolnick and m embers

of his staff detailed the sabotage from th e government ' s own records . He d m i t i e l:is group had

' 'liberated t'-:e enti:::-e government Midway crash file. Ignoring their own highl y l e d records,

pictures, and exhibi ts showing sabotage , the NTSB later sa id t was m ere ly pilot err0 r, he said.

A que8tion posed by Skolni ck and Bottos is: Did Nixon think the National Security required

the death and silencing of Mrs . Hun and others connected with her? The y conte nd the national

security i ssue :, posed by Nixon, in th e Vvatergate and Ellsberg cases, i s a bad joke on th e people .

CI A MIND POISONS by Sherman H. Skolnick . [ Ect_itor s note7 Skolnick h e a ~ s u_p aChicago -base d research and investigating group deahng w1th corrupt10n and assassmat w n.

One of the most deep, dark secrets of the CIA i s a pro ject with the code name MK ULTRA.

From 1952 to 1963, CIA scientists deve loped frightening drugs that produced loss of memory, cal

a mn esia , that dis -oriented people, that caused suic id es , and in other ways neutralized or distur

a person's brain or personality. Operation Artichoke, which went on to about 1958, determined

some of th e applications and effects of these behavior-influencing drugs: public officials , here an

abroad, reacting to being secretly drugged, could be neJIJitralized when they made fools of them

se lv es publicly (some do that on their own also). Unfr iendly eyewitnesses or double agents could

made to forget or to kill themselves . A related project was MK Delta, to be used for overseas

espionage .

The Rockefeller Commission on CIA Activities committed a mammoth fraud on the America

people . vithout giving the na me of the vast operation , MK Ultra , or tell ing it s deadly application

they cover ed it up with a few paragraphs about the t esting of LSD. Th e Rockefeller Report to the

Presedent, on page 228, fraudulently said the CIA drug testing on unsuspecting subjects was term

a ted in 1963 . In fact, to conceal the ope ration, the CIA changed i ts name to MK Search, and con

linue d until 1973.

The details of th is whole mess are known to Sen . Edward Kennedy who heads up a Senate sub

comm ittee poking into the matter. They know that the MK Search Project was used to cove r up C

complic ity in various political assassinations, indluding that of President Kennedy, and Dr . Mart

Luther King , Jr . Following the Dallas tragedy, seve ral hundred material witnesses mysteriou s l y

died, one by one, in weird accidents or supposedl y suicides. Dr. King's personal physician supp

edly killed himself. CIA mind poison s were used against several key anti -war activists . To open

up the chemic al mind murder fa ctory wou ld now r equire a review of almost one thousand victim s :assassination . eyewitnesses, public officials that died mysterious ly like A'dlai Stevenson (Sr. ) ,

peace movement leaders , and others .

A related CIA project had the code name MK Naomi, s tarting about 1956 . The i r purpose,

origina lly, was to study chemical weapons that might be used by a fo re ign power . After a wh ile ,

MK Naomi Project, like other CIA schemes, became a reckless, out of contr ol program. Under

absolute control and direction of Dr. Nathan Gordon , they developed methods to dispense contami

nants - - -exotic chemicals they could add to the air or to neutralize or demobilize en t ire

populations of an area . In recent years th e project, still going in 1975, focussed on chemica l wa

fare directed against so -called domestic rebels, such as those that rioted after the CI A and FBI

covered up assassination of Dr . King in 1968 , or ghetto or civil r ights uprisings. Some of the

scientists joked among them selves that they were working on a form of mercy killing .

Remembe ring what happened to · \ his two brothers, Ted Kennedy , although knowing about th

m ess, seems to want to leave the CIA alone .

The MK Ult ra e c t ~ under its various names was a large national program , having om ino

implications and uses for de aling with domestic problems -- such as quelling dissident s and wiping

material witnesses following a domestic poli t ical assassination. In i ts formative stages, the proj

was based mostly inn Los Angeles and was headed by Dr. Sidney Gottlieb , head of the CI A's Specia

Ope rations Research Divtsion. He l ater was director of CIA Technical Services, a fancy te rm fo

the ir mind murder factory. Much of the so -called scientific work was at various la boratories a

Universities in California .

Knowledgeable researcher s are r eviewing the circumstances of the drop-out or neutralizingspecific pe rsons in the anti -war movement as well as r econsidering the demise of key assass inati

witnesses; to match up previously unexplained happenings with what has now j um ped ou t of the CIA

Freeze te ll s the Judge that he had" re gistered " th e gun with the police under

his own name and that the gun was actuall y int ended fo r a police officer fr iend.

Despite th e cha rge , DeFreeze remained at large . With th e hel p of the secret

CCS unit , he fled Californ ia in vio lat ion of hi s probation (a bench war rant was

i ssued for hi s ar re st) , to the s tat e of New Jersey .

5/ 6/ 69: Newark, New Jersey. De Fr eeze and another pe r son, )X>Sing as

Black Panthers , were ac cused of assaulting an em ployee of a Jewish synagogue

with a shotgun , demanding $5,000 , and i nformation and aid in a scheme to kid -

nap a well -known Newar k Jewish r ights lead er . U pon completion of thekidnapping , DeF reeze ' s plan was to submit a ransom note s upposedly from the

Black Panther Party. He es caped Newark authorities , crossed s tat e lines in

v iolation of federal law, and surfaced in Cle{elan d, Ohio , October. 1969 .

10/ 11/ 69: Cleve land, Ohio. DeFreeze appeared on the roof of the

Cleveland Trust ComjJany, branch Bank . with a . . revolver , . 25 caliber

pis tol , an eight inch dagger, a tool kit . and , in violation of federal law, a

hand gr enade. This was a period of gr eat tension and hysteria in Cleve land

as a re su lt of th e Ahmed Evans affair wh ere so- call ed Black militants wer e

involved in an ambush and shoot-out with poli ce . DeFr eeze was re lea sed

neve rth e le ss on a very low bail, $5,000, and the charges were late r dropped .

At the time, he was wanted on a capital charge in New Jersey and a probation

violat ion in Califor nia. De F reeze was NOT held in Oeveland even though Sgt.

John McMahon of the Cleveland subversive squad was monitoring the DeFreeze

case .

DeFreeze fled Cleveland to Cali forn ia, where he was again arrested.

11 / 25/6 9 : Los Angeles . A252519. DeFreeze exchanged gun shots with

a bank guard and was wounded. The gun used in the shoot out was a .32

caliber Beretta automati c pistol . This gun , A63944, was still another gun

left over from the earlier 200 gun robbery, 1967. He obviously ha d

been al lowed to keep a number of guns f rom this cache . On 12/3/ 69, he

was order ed imp ris oned at the Vacavi lle, Califon1ia behavior modificatio n

facility.

In 1970, it was at the Vacavi l l t faci li ty that DeFreezc was re c ruited by

CIA operative Colston Westb rook to lead the Be.havlor lvloclificaUon experi

Pivarnik ofValpa ra is o , Indiana are not notorious mugge r s , rapis ts or murderers butra ther , respected and well knowry f ighters of of f i c i al corruption includingPas tor James Voegt l in of t he Fairhaven Baptis t Church and Academy ; ElmerJacobsen, Dire ct o r of the Northwest Indiana Cr ime Commission (who prev ious ly served wi th dis t incti on 4s an FBI agent for 17 years); Alex Bottos ,Executive Director of the C i t i z e n ~ ilar As sn. and Inves t i gat or for theCitizens Committee to Clean up dhe Courts who (af ter years of undercove ract ivi ty) burst in t o National pr ominance during \vATERGATE when the FBIfa lse ly impris one d him to preveqt testimony concerning t he OIL r'lAFIAinvolvement in t he air - c rash death of Dor oth y Hunt, wife of WATERGATORE. w a r d Hunt; and Sherman Sko ln ick, Chairman of the Citizen s Committeean d his aide, David G.

During the period of 1974-75 , Dottos, Pastor Voegtlin, and Skol nick hi tthe lecture plat f orms, church pddi ums, and airways aler t ing t he pub l icto certain apparantly ta inted decisions, i c i a l impropr i e t i es, anda lleged corrupt j udicial acts of Judge Alfred Pivarnik to gether wi thranking pol i t i ica l figures and corrupt contrac tors claiming that t heyhad defrauded the Fede r a l Government and the c itizens of Indian a out ofmillions of do l l ars through fraudulent contracts approved and made to belegal and bin ding by Pivarnik as Judge . Especia l ly highl ighted by thecourt cr i t ics was his part i n awardi ng fraudulent contracts for a ~ f f i T R OCONSTRUCTION CO. whose three owners as of June 1976 have been convictedin both Federal and State co ur t s for bribery , perjury, and conspiracyalong Vi th Indiana HUD Director Ben Lesniak (2) and are now being inves t igated by the Pede r a l Deposit Insurance Corp. for poss ible in vo lvement

in causing the ban kruptcy of the /\fo ERICAN TRUST AND SAVINGS BANK ofMilwaukee as part ann parce l of th e publ ic swindle. (2/\)

But al l was not so back i n July , 1975 when J u d ~ Pi va rn ik slapped ea c hof them into a i l without a t r ia l for sentences ra ngin g from 30 to 90days each. The Indiana Board of Accounts had not yet released the i r auditcondemning the East Chicago Par k Do ard for issueing the contract; the

Attorney General Had not f i led his brie f condemning the disrega rd for law;

and, t he Indiana Co ur t of Appeals had not ye t r e leased i t s decisionwhi ch on Mar c h 0, 1976 overturned Pivarnik s ru l ing and judgement Andlashed out at th e Judge for approving a contract \·1i1lch . . . f a i led tomeet even the minimal requirements of laN .

Ruman tot es t i f y about th e i r par t s and those of Judge Piv ar n ik in t hi s and otherdeals . Without hearing , Pivarnik quickly and se cre t ly ki l led the le ga lsubpoe nas and ordere d h is v ic tims to j ail despi te the fact that none werein t he court or on County propert y or in any way in formed by anyon e t hatthey ha d even been charged with anything . ( I t later tu rned out , th echarge was "CR IMINAL CONTEMPT OF COUR T . )
