1. This is a must listen if you missed C-Span's view of his Book Tour last

night. He said it all about the BFEE. He even wondered where Poppy was the day JFK was assassinated.

I e-mailed C-Span last night and asked them to rebroadcast it or put it on video on their site.

[KoKo]

2. Success, managed to access it here in NC! Thanks NJ Cher, I think

after the news, the Leopate show will be on.

[NJCher]

3. interview just starting now!

He says he started his book as an examination of dynasty but as he got into it became clear that the bush "dynasty" went back four generations--90% of which is below the surface. He began to think it wasn't a coincidence there was so much coverage, distortions, disinformation....

4. He's getting even more in about the links of the Bush's to Intelligence,

and arms sales plus their "dislexia" and that their aren't any Doctors, Lawyers, teachers in the direct line, but that they've always been involved, in Oil, Arms, Finance and Intelligence. He says they didn't do anything they had to earn on their own. (my paraphrase)

[KoKo]

5. He's now doing the Poppy/OSS/and Circumstance that he was involved

with CIA and Cubans during Kennedy Assassination. Saying Howard Hughes was involved with the CIA and Ivy League Colleges were recruiting grounds for CIA during the 40's and 50's.

Elitism in the Intelligence Community. Says all the Wealthy headed to Midland,Texas to make their fortunes.

Says Poppy or Shrub used to chew tobacco and go on speaking tours with brown tobacco juice dribbling down his mouth! Eeeeeuuuuuw!

[NJCher]

7. yeah, that grossed me out, too!

Man, what repulsive people they are.

I was thrilled with the exposure he gave to the BFEE. This is fabulous. It's going to go a long, long way toward exposing the fact that the bushes really are a crime family and NOT, repeat NOT, legitimate politicians.

After they've put the program up as an audio file, I'll post the link. I even want to listen to it a second or third time--there's that much good info in it!

6. Says Nancy Reagan didn't like Poppy and Babs. Babs was "snooty."

Now talking about "October Surprise." He says press back off of it, but by 1992 people thought there was more to it, but backed off after the Election. Says Senate committees gave more info and confirmed that their is evidence, but no one followed up on it. That would have been Clinton's job.

He's saying Religious Right had deep resentment to Clinton and that's why Chimp got in. (Well, we know that.)

[NJCher]

8. and where do they get off calling no-idea crooks like this "aristocracy"

These people are about as aristocratic as a wart hog.
