Wow, did all of you already know all this about Bush Sr.?

The Bush family has spent millions projecting an image of 'down home' folks whose only concerns are 'faith' and 'family'. It's a pretty picture, but the authors of this book affirm that it is only an image. They are wolves in sheep clothing.

Since the days of their association with Hitler, the Bush family is only interested in power. However they get it and however they can keep it is the only thing which really matters to these people. Their obligatory talks about 'morals'...etc are just put in to give the illusion of caring about democracy. If they had their own way, the Bush family would have all of us living under a dictatorship.

This book is vastly different from most of the anti-Bush texts which flood the market. It eschews cheap shots to instead bring serious evidence against America's reigning monarchy. It also explains how Junior's 'bumblings' are only the more public versions of what daddy did dating back from his job as CIA head. Insteaad of being embarassed...etc the Bush family is actually proud of his actions!

G.Bush I as a man who is a major chess piece in the network of the mighty investment bank Brown Brothers Harriman and the freemason lodge `Skull and Bones'.
The authors sketch a dark picture of an oligarch in the Platonic sense: G. Bush as a scion of a wealthy patrician family, born to reign over the `democratic masses'.

Politically, G. Bush was implicated in the Iran-Contras scandal, the Panama and first Iraq invasions, the replacement of Formosa (Taiwan) by the PR of China (negotiating lucrative deals for his friends). He buried the investigation into the Hinckley (a brother of a friend of one of his sons) shooting of President Reagan.

Economically, he defended his friends in the Pennzoil-Texaco trial about the take-over of Getty Oil. He saved the NCBC (NationsBank) from bankruptcy by `massive favors and graft at the expense of the tax payer'. He relentlessly intervened on behalf of the oil cartels for their ground-tax privileges and oil depletion allowances. His war on drugs was only `rhetorical'.

Ideologically, the authors state that he sided with those propagating population control, eugenics, race science and the `inferiority' of the blacks.

Personally, they stress his mental instability and his `boundless lust for power'.

Original but important is their analysis of the Watergate scandal. For them it is a coup d'�tat, instrumental in laying the basis for an authoritarian-totalitarian regime, not less than a rearrangement of the dominant institutions of the US government in favor of the intelligence communities.
Nixon was dumped for his inability to manage the collapse of the dollar. However, as W. Engdahl explains in his magisterial book `A century of Wars', the subsequent oil crisis and the colossal oil price hike in 1973 catapulted the dollar and the US financial institutions again at the zenith of wealth power.

This extremely well researched book (no libel suit!) constitutes a major information source and a must read for all those interested in US history.
