Hi Brian,

I talked with Sherman on Friday(3/24). He is just a wealth of information! I sure wish he would write a book. But he needs to upgrade to today's technology in a bad way! I've included the conversation with him in this note to you.

------------------------ post begins here ---------------------------

The following is a summary of a conversation with Sherman Skolnick on March 24, 1995. I do not necessarily agree nor disagree with the following statements. I didn't have him on the recorder so I just made notes on a piece of paper and tried to keep up with him.

Here's most of what he said in summary form:

• I asked him about Ross Perot and what Perot's connections are to Bush, et al. He said there are 2 issues concerning Ross Perot:
  1. Corruption - Ross Perot secured the contract for the Medicare computer system by buying corruptable officials. This is where Perot generated much of his money.
  2. Intelligence - Perot's people who he supposedly "rescued" were performing intelligence gathering for the Iranian government about the Iranian people. He bribed Irainian officials to the tune of 6 to 8 million dollars to get them back. The book he published and the subsequent show on 60 minutes or whatever T.V. show it was, was a farce.

Note: According to Mr. Skolnick, if Ross Perot were to draw too much of the popular vote, he would have been done away with. They will not let that happen because then it gets down to a vote in Congress and there would be a political free for all. Sherman contends that George Wallace was shot for that very reason and because he thought that the Rockefeller Foundation should not be allowed to continue as a tax-exempt organization.

In other words, the Perot connection to Bush is one via the intelligence community. What a shock! (tongue firmly planted in cheek)

• He gave me titles of some very interesting books to read. They are:
  • "Who's Who in the CIA", published in 1968 in East Berlin. This is somewhat dated information, but some of it is still relevant if you can find a copy.
  • "Farewell, America", published in 1968 in the U.K. and can be obtained via Canada from a bookstore called, The Last Hurrah Bookstore, 937 Memorial Avenue, Williams Port, PA 17701. Ph. 717.327.9338 COD, money orders, VISA, M/C accepted. Hardcover, nearly 400 pages. Cost: $27 plus shipping and handling. This book has been banned in the U.S. and still must be obtained through difficult means. It is about the Kennedy assassination. I asked Sherman, in his opinion how accurate he thought it was, his reply: "100% accurate". Grab your copies while they last!
  • "Nomenclature of Assassination"(the Torbitt document). Written by a lawyer who defended sniper cases in the U.S. He goes by the pen name of Torbitt. This is referenced in "Farewell, America" in the index.
  • "The Mafia, CIA and George Bush" by Pete Brewton. The title says it all.
• According to his sources the bomb is ready to drop on Clinton and Hillary mainly concerning Vince Foster's death. Whoever sets "the agenda" wants to time it with the Dow when it reaches 4200. I asked him why 4200? He said it was just an arbitrary number and that there probably will be a lot of these people with short positions in various companies. Take heed, those in the "long market". We will see.
• The Oliver Stone movie, "JFK" was mainly funded by the Rothschilds to the tune of about $42 million. Apparently there is a about 6 minutes or so of the movie available in the "director's edition" which was cut from the one released in the theater. Mr. Skolnick said it contained "sensitive" information but to bear in mind where the funding came from.
• Apparently when Bush first became the head of the CIA under Nixon, he was brought in under the guise that they needed "new blood" who could put a fresh face on the agency and raise morale. The reality is, that Bush has been involved with the CIA since the 50's. He was CEO of Zapata Oil which later became Zapata Petroleum and then eventually merged with Pennzoil. This was made evident by an obituary printed March 1, 1991 in the Chicago Tribune, it refered to, "George Bush and his partner William Liedtke Jr. and the Liedtke brother." It said, "in the mid 50's[the Liedtke brothers] teamed up with George Bush and John Overbee to form Zapata Petroleum Company. Then they went on to form Pennzoil."

According to a copy of an FBI document Sherman has supplied to me, George Bush was involved with the CIA, at least, as early on as, the Kennedy assassination.

I have included a transciption of this document, for your reading pleasure, below:

                                        1 - Nasca

Date: November 29, 1963

To:     Director
        Bureau of Intelligence and Research
        Department of State

From: John Edgar Hoover, Director

Subject:ASSASSINATION OF PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY

NOVEMBER 22, 1963

Our Miami, Florida, Office on November 23, 1963, advised that the Office of Coordinator of Cuban Affairs in Miami advised that the Department of State feels some misguided anti-Castro group might capitalize on the present situation and undertake an unauthorized raid against Cuba, believing that the assassination of President John F. Kennedy might herald a change in U.S. policy, which is not true.

Our sources and informants familiar with Cuban matters in the Miami area advise that the general feeling in the anti-Castro Cuban community is one of stunned disbelief and, even among those who did not entirely agree with the President's policy concerning Cuba, the feeling is that the President's death represents a great loss not only to the U.S. but to all of Latin America. These sources knew of no plans for unauthorized action against Cuba.

An informant who has furnished reliable information in the past and who is close to a small pro-Castro group in Miami has advised that these individuals are afraid that the assassination of the President may result in strong repressive measures being taken against them and, although pro-Castro in their feelings, regret the assassination.

The substance of the forgoing information was orally furnished to us by, George Bush of the Central Intelligence Agency and Captain William Edwards of the Defense Intelligence Agency on November 23, 1963, by Mr. W.T. Forsyth of this Bureau.

Of course, the "Bureau" denies that this is the same George Bush as the one we all know as the former President of the U.S. You be the judge.

Two of the ships sitting in the waters off Cuba during either the Cuban Missle Crisis or Bay of Pigs (I don't recall which one) were named, "Zapata" (Bush's oil company) and "Houston", the residence of Bush at that time. Coincidence? I think not.

That's all for now. More to come at a later date.

I encourage distribution of "Conspiracy Nation."
