George H.W. Bush The Unauthorized Biography, http://www.tarpley.net/bushb.htm
Bush familien har en lang tradition for at støtte mørke kræfter - se biografien ovenover. 250904 gennemgår The Guardian W.s bedstefar, US senator Prescott Bush's samarbejde med Thyssen m.fl. Hitler-støtter og konfiskeringen af Bush-firmaets formue i 1942 under loven om samarbejde med fjenden. 120904 behandles samme sag af Fairbanks News-Miner "Bush family history shows a dark past unseen by most, af Douglas Yates.

En kort aktuel oversigt over Bush's holdninger til centrale politiske spørgsmål leveres af William Fisher i The Jordan Times, 020604.
Begge Bush'er m.fl. er anklaget for at lade begivenhederne den 11. sept. 2001 ske trods talrige advarsler - og for mord på en af flypassagererne - se www.FindLaw.com og søg på Ellen Mariani. Anklagens dokumentation udgør en god sammenfattende beskrivelse af de mange spørgsmål, der rejses af myndighedernes adfærd i den forbindelse.
Om Bush dynastiets selvopfattelse, dets forbindelser til Mellemøsten (Yarborough: "George H W a hireling of the Sheik of Kuwait", 1964), BCCI og forbindelser til Saudi Arabien, Iran - Contra, hjælpen til Saddam Hussein i 1980erne, Bush sønnerne, Kevin Phillips: "American Dynasty: Aristocracy, Fortune and the Politics of Deceit in the House of Bush", 2004, Viking Penguin. (Paul Krugman anmelder bogen og Ron Suskins bog om Paul O'Neill i The New York Revie of Books).
Michael Hasty (Online Journal, 100104) giver andre elementer til Bush familiens historie, fra Prescott Bush's samhandel med Hitler's Tyskland til George H. W.s salg af raketter og George W.s salg af kemiske og biologiske våben til Saddam Hussein. Han giver også en sammenligning mellem Bush og Hitler: "A conservative, authoritarian style, with public appearances in military uniform (which no previous American president has ever done while in office). Government by secrecy, propaganda and deception. Open assaults on labor unions and workers' rights. Preemptive war and militant nationalism. Contempt for international law and treaties. Suspiciously convenient "terrorist" attacks, to justify a police state and the suspension of liberties. A carefully managed image of "The Leader", who's still just a "regular guy" and a "moderate". "Freedom" as the rationale for every action. Fantasy economic growth, based on unprecedented budget deficits and massive military spending". Han understreger reklamens betydning, bl.a. ved at refere til at allerede Goebbels medgav at have lært af amerikansk kommerciel reklame og PR aktivitet - og ved at understrege udviklingen heri siden. Og han præsterer til slut en imponerende liste over personer og organisationer, der knyttes sammen af George H W Bush.

John le Carré i et interview med Globe and Mail, ( 060104 ): When it's recalled to him that Bush and Sharon were both elected and can be replaced by voters, while the likes of Saddam rule as despots for decades, le Carré shoots back: "Do You suppose that Bush was legally elected ? Do You suppose that it is democratic to dismantle rights in America that the forefathers of the present politicians fought for bitterly ? Do You suppose we're offering a democratic example through Guantanamo ? Do You think it democratic to lie, persistently and deliberately, to a population that has elected, or not elected, you ?

André Gunder Frank, Luxembourg Institute for European and International Studies, "Coup d'État in Washington and "The Dollar Paper Tiger"", Globalresearch, 030604: Beskriver at den kubanske mafia i Florida forhindrede omtælling i Broward County, at de omtællinger der fandt sted var fup, man talte kun de stemmer, der ikke var talt med i første omgang. Man gennemgik ikke de demokratiske stemmer, der i første omgang var kendt ugyldige. Man så heller ikke på Pat Buchanans stemmer, [som på grund af stemmesedlens indretning kunne være tiltænkt Gore].
Dommer Guido Calabresi, 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals, Manhattan, om den amerikanske højesterets afgørelse i valgsagen: "... somebody came to power as the result of the illegitimate acts of a legitimate institution that had the right to put somebody in power..... The reason I emphasize that is because that is exactly what happened when Mussolini was put in by the king of Italy." "When somebody has come in that way, they sometimes have tried not to exercise much power. In this case, like Mussolini, he has exercised extraordinary power". Calabresi er født i Milano, familien flygtede fra Mussolini i 1939 til Amerika, The New York Sun, 210604.
Bush har jo et særligt forhold til de konservativt sekterisk kristne kredse - men måske er hans kampagnefolk alligevel gået over grænsen for, hvad de vil tolerere, 030704, The Guardian.

200306, Crooks and Liars har senator Russ Feingold om hans forslag til mistillidsvotum til Bush. ""The President got out and said basically, "tough luck," I'm going to do what ever I want to do here, whether it's within the law or not. That to me demands a response and I decided that we had to look at the possibility of letting the President know on the record, that what he has done here is illegal and wrong. And that's why I proposed censure." ..."How can we be afraid at this point, of standing up to a president who has clearly mismanaged this Iraq war, who clearly made one of the largest blunders in American foreign policy history? How can it be that this party wants to stand back and allow this kind of thing to happen? And then add to that the idea that the president has clearly broken the law — and a number of Republican senators have effectively admitted that, by saying "you know, we need this program so let's make it legal,"- so they are admitting it's illegal. ....The idea that Democrats don't think it's a winning thing to say that we will stand up for the rule of law and for checking abuse of power by the executive --I just can't believe that Democrats don't think that isn't something, not only that we can win on, but it does, in fact, make the base of our party, which is so important, feel much better about the Democrats..."
240306, Reuters. Senatet har sat Feingolds mistillidsforslag på dagsordenen i næste uge. Retsudvalgets formand, republikaneren Arlen Specter, stiller spørgsmålstegn ved lovligheden af Bush' aflytningsprogram.

260806, The Boston Globe, Robert Kuttner: "The Cheney presidency". Cheneys magt modsvares kun af hans hang til hemmeligholdelse. Problemet er, at som vicepræsident følges han ikke så nøje af pressen, så reelt slipper han godt fra mere, end han ville have gjort, hvis han havde været præsident.

031006, "Information Clearing House" nyhedsbrev: "Why is this man in the White House? The majority of Americans did not vote for him. Why is he there? And I tell you this morning that he's in the White House because God put him there for a time such as this, Lt Gen William Boykin, speaking of G. W. Bush, New York Times, 17 October 2003 - God gave the savior to the German people. We have faith, deep and unshakeable faith, that he was sent to us by God to save Germany. Hermann Goering, speaking of Hitler - A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less easily move against him, believing that he has the gods on his side; Aristotle - If this were a dictatorship, it would be a heck of a lot easier - just so long as I'm the dictator.

221006, Los Angeles Times, "Bush's family profits from 'No Child' act". , Det er Neil Bush's firma, Ignite! Learning, der tjener på den lov. Gamle Bush og Barbara har andel i foretagendet. At det så ser ud til, at det er stene for brød, der leveres, understreger vel bare familiens moral.
"Bush loves to say liberty, but he's the principal enemy of liberty in the world right now". Fhv. justitsminister (under Johnson) Ramsey Clark i Al Ahram Weekly i nov. 2006.
Perkins, p. 165. Bush' første energiselskab, Arbusto, var en fiasco, der reddedes gennem en sammenslutning med Spectrum 7, som også nærmede sig konkursen og i 1986 blev købt af Harken Energy Corporation og W. beholdt en bestyrelsespost til 120000 USD/år. Da HW blev præsident blev der arrangeret et møde mellem Harken og regeringen i Bahrein. Det gav en god stigning i Harkens aktiekurs.
I september 2006 undrer jazz-from-hell.blogspot.com sig over at broder Neil Bush omgås med den russiske millardær (det blev han under Jetsin) Boris Berezovsky. Berezovsky blev vel netop rig derfor, så det er vel ikke mærkeligt. ("Why is President Bush's btother hanging out...")

050407, IPS, Analysis by Lucy Komisar, Questions Linger About Bushes and BCCI. "...they might look into one of his most startling assertions: that there was a link between Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden. Critics dismissed that as an invention. They were wrong. There was a link, but not the one Bush was selling. The link between Hussein and Bin Laden was their banker, BCCI. But the link went beyond the dictator and the jihadist ~ it passed through Saudi Arabia and stretched all the way to George W. Bush and his father. ...At the same time, BCCI helped Saddam Hussein, funneling millions of dollars to the Atlanta branch of the Italian government-owned Banca Nazionale del Lavoro (BNL), Baghdad's U.S. banker, so that from 1985 to 1989 it could make four billion dollars in secret loans to Iraq to help it buy arms...., BNL was a client of Kissinger Associates, and Henry Kissinger was on the banks international advisory board, along with Brent Scowcroft....Important Saudis were influential in the bank. Sheik Kamal Adham, brother-in-law of the late Saudi King Faisal, head of Saudi intelligence from 1963 to 1979, and the CIA's liaison in the area, became one of BCCI s largest shareholders. George Bush Sr. knew Adham from his time running the CIA in 1975...Another investor was Prince Turki bin Fmsal al-Saud, who succeeded Adham as Saudi intelligence chief [and] the family of Khalid Salem bin Mahfouz, owner of the National Commercial Bank...The Bushes' private links to the bank passed to Bin Mahfouz through Texas businessman James R. Bath, who invested money in the United States on behalf of the Saudi. In 1976, when Bush was the head of the CIA, the agency sold some of the planes of Air America, a secret "proprietary" airline it used during the Vietnam War, to Skyway, a company owned by Bath and Bin Mahfouz. Bath then helped finance George W. Bush's oil company, Arbusto Energy Inc., in 1979 and 1980."

160607, ICH, David Michael Green, What Every American Should Know About Iraq. "George W. Bush gave twenty interviews in 1999 to Mickey Herskowitz,... saying '"One of the keys to being seen as a great leader is to be seen as a commander-in-chief. My father had all this political capital built up when he drove the Iraqis out of Kuwait and he wasted it. If I have a chance to invade, if I had that much capital, I'm not going to waste it. I'm going to get everything passed that I want to get passed and I'm going to have a successful presidency."
220507, Salon, Gary Kamiya, Why Bush Hasn't Been Impeached. Hans 28 % tilslutning ved Newsweeks sidste meningsundersøgelse, 5. maj, er sidst set i 1979, for Carter efter at han ikke fik løsladt ambassadepersonalet fra Tehran. Når der alligevel ikke er rejst rigsretsanklage mod ham, selvom der er alvorlige sager nok, så skyldes det, at demokraterne finder det helt risikofrit at lade ham dø politisk i stilhed. Og så ramte Bush i sin reaktion på 9/11 en dyb amerikansk åre - den voldelige selvretfærdighed og tagen sig selv tilrette. Nogen skulle sparkes for 9/11, helst en arab, men ellers betød det mindre hvem ! Hertil kommer så, at i krigstid er præsidenten fredet ! Derfor Bush' evindelige: "I'm a war president." - en slags trylleformular. Men det er meget problematisk, at Bushregeringen har nedbrudt enhver respekt for LOVEN.
