Marvin Pierce Bush (born October 22, 1956) is the youngest son of George H. W. Bush and Barbara Pierce, and brother of George W., John (Jeb), Neil and Dorothy. He is named for his maternal grandfather. He has a wife, Margaret, and two children: a daughter, Marshall, and a son, Walker.

Marvin graduated from Woodberry Forest School in 1975, and spent most summers and holidays at the sprawling family estate, the Bush Compound. He was a director of Securacom a.k.a. Stratesec, a publicly traded company, from 1993 until fiscal year 2000. The Sterling, Virginia company provided electronic security for the World Trade Center and Dulles International Airport on September 11, 2001. The Securacom/Stratesec company was backed by an investment firm, the Kuwait-American Corp.

Marvin Bush is also associated with HCC Insurance Holdings, Inc. (HCC), through being a former director, as well as being currently listed as an advisor to the board of directors <1>. HCC is a publicly traded insurance company on the NYSE. HCC insured parts of the World Trade Center complex during September 11th, 2001 <2>.

Marvin sat on the boards of both HCC and Securacom/Stratesec at the same time, and both companies had a commercial interest in the World Trade Center complex. This information is required to be disclosed through SEC proxy filings but was not <3> <4>. The proxy for Stratesec also omitted Marvin Bush's directorship at Fresh Del Monte Produce (FDP), a company run by Mohammed Abu-Ghazaleh<5>, who has a business background in several middle eastern countries, including Dubai and Kuwait. No SEC investigations into the omission of the required proxy disclosures are publicly known.


What do you think of that?

1. I think its Wikipedia

Anyone can post entries, right?

I'd like to see more, although I don't necessarily disagree with anything there. Or, I can't dispute it, more accurately. However, it brings to mind one of the most haunting 9/11 rumors, which I read early on after the event, but haven't heard much else about. Can anyone confirm that the WTC had never carried "terrorism" insurance until just a few weeks prior to 9/11? I know I read that somewhere, but don't know where. Anyway, it fits in perfectly with the Wikipedia entry. And the crumbling Building #7.

2. I thought Marvin was a joke that Conan O'Brien made up.

This is interesting.

4. I haven't heard much, if anything, of this brother Bush do they

keep in hiding? Is he in prison? What's up?

3. I think if you were really desperate for attention and you had

sinister motives, it sure would be helpful to have someone on the inside (ever notice how W always has that) with all the information about the buildings security systems...that's what I think. Of course, some people would call me a :tinfoilhat: conspiracy theorist. I don't care though I will use my intellect. See, I was born after John F. Kennedy and if they can get away with that... I refuse to follow blindly along and not question authority.

5. The 'privileged' break all the rules...yet are immune to sanctions

...with the 'right'/Right judges.

Not to mention the'ripe' LIHOP opportunities/advantages particularly for the Shrub Bros. in the above.
