Sherman Skolnick was a Chicago investigator who learned how to locate copies of IRS 990-AR tax forms in public libraries, a document filled out by foundations and available to the public if you knew where to look. Sherman discovered the CIA was routinely using a variety of foundations for financing the radical left. Very soon, he was accusing Rennie Davis, Tom Hayden, Lee Weiner and Jerry Rubin, leaders of the student youth movement, of accepting funds from CIA sources, specifically the Carnegie Foundation, the Student Health Organization, the Institute for Policy Studies, J.M. Kaplan Fund, Aaron E. Norman Fund, New World Foundation, and the Roger Baldwin Foundation. Skolnick claimed the Chicago 7 trial was a staged event and that the Nation magazine, Pacifica Radio, National Public Radio, and Democracy Now were all at least partially CIA-financed. Very few took Sherman seriously at the time and he was branded a conspiracy kook, even though he did manage to take down a string of corrupt judges in Illinois connected to organized crime.

Skolnick's book!
Matt Kennard says a prominent peace activist in the UK was actually CIA.
Chip Berlet was against my research also
Matthew Nemiroff Lyons wrote a thoughtful critique of an earlier version of this paper titled Right Woos Left Revisited: Tracing the Roots of Conspiracy Thinking. His suggestions have influenced subsequent revisions and we are now working together to write a lengthy study of the roots and current variants of fascism in the U.S. [This became the book Right-Wing Populism in America: Too Close for Comfort, focusing on the roots of scapegoating conspiracism in the U.S. and how it is used to mobilize social and political movements. A forthcoming book on conspiracism, populism, and fascism is tentatively titled Sucker Punch.]
The United Front Against Fascism and its allies in the Seattle and Portland areas gave me encouragement and assistance, and sponsored a public forum in Seattle w
We compile in-
formation on foundations, and after a
while you get to know which founda-
tions are connected with Central Intel-
ligence: the J.M. Kaplan Fund in New
York, the New World Foundation of
Chicago, and others.
COQ: Can .you prove these connec-
tions?
SKOLNICK: Sure, some of them have
come out already. The National Stu-
dent Association, the World Group of
Jurists, and others like these were identified in February 1967 as CIA
fronts. These are the foundations that
supplied the Chicago Seven with all the money.
COQ: How do you know they got
money?
SKOLNICK: The foundations are the
only entities in the country that must
file public tax returns. We compile
those, and we were able to show, for
example, that the Parvin Foundation,
headed up by Justice Douglas, was a
CIA front.
