The Truth About George W. Bush

!±8± The Truth About George W. Bush

We, the people, of these United States have the responsibility to ask questions (see "Does Anything Make Any Sense Anymore?"). Is our president, the leader of the free world, turning the executive branch into an imperialistic presidency by expanding his powers, we must ask, "How did this man become president, and what is he trying to do, and how do we stop him from destroying America any further?

We all know that GWB got into Yale University after attending Phillips Academy
(where his father attended). However, he was accepted with a 1206 combined SAT
score, which is far lower than the average score of the students accepted at Yale.
Why was he accepted to Yale? Was it because he father and grandfather went there?

While at Yale, he maintained just a 'C' average. His transcript reveals that he
received a '71' in Political Science, barely passing,' and a course vital to national
public office. In another Poly Sci course he opted for a 'P' for pass, rather than a
number grade. In City Planning, he received a '75.' In Economics, he earned just a
'72.' In Science 2, he got a '69,' and in Sociology he received a '70.' Again barely
passing. And in English, he earned just a '75' and a '76.' So the question one must
ask is, "With grades like that, how in the world did George W. Bush, a low average
student, get accepted to Harvard Graduate School?

Has this deception been part of this family dynasty from the beginning? Is honesty
not in the family vocabulary?

Below is a reprint from Wikopedia, the online encyclopedia. After reading it, you may
understand better, and agree with the majority of Americans, that this man is not fit
to be president of the United States. His actions, and his family's actions, speak for
itself. The problem is that if our Congress doesn't do something immediately, the
Bush family will continue this subversion of our democratic government, alienating
us from the rest of the world, and endangering our country even more. Something
must be done NOW, especially since all the polls taken show that 70% of Americans
no longer believe in this president, and when asked, non-Americans feel he is more
of a threat than Saddam Hussein was. It is time to save America and regain our
worldwide respect.

(From Wikipedia)

The Bush family conspiracy theory is an umbrella term used to describe various
conspiracy theory allegations directed towards the family of President George W.
Bush, including the President's brothers; Florida Governor Jeb Bush, Marvin Bush,
and Neil Bush; their father and former President George H. W. Bush; grandfather
Prescott Bush; and great-grandfather George Herbert Walker.

Background

Proponents of these conspiracy theories sometimes refer to the alleged secret
organization with pejorative terms: Bush League, Bush Buddies, Texas Taliban, Bush
Criminal Empire (BCE), or Bush family evil empire. The first is a pun on the baseball
term "bush league"-- minor league amateurs.

As the Bush family has provided the last two Republican presidents, there may be a
confusion of family conspiracy with what is actually normal political maneuvering.
(Similarly, the Kennedy and Roosevelt families have produced a number of political
and public figures). Additionally, members of the Bush family are politically and
economically prominent, so it is natural that they have connections to other major
political and business figures, some of whom have unsavory reputations.

A number of allegations have been made about different members of the Bush
family at different times: it is not reasonable to discuss these allegations as a whole.
Listed below are assorted allegations and rebuttals, but any serious consideration of
these allegations should be made on a strictly individual basis. Some allegations
have received considerable mainstream attention and debate; others are generally
regarded as specious and unsubstantiated.

Various allegations and conspiracy theories

Oil dealings and the Middle East

The Bushes support the oil industry to enhance their own financial interests in the
industry.

Ayatollah Khomeini dealt with George H.W. Bush and/or his operatives to arrange
the Iran-Contra deal and allegedly the October surprise conspiracy, on behalf of U.S.
Presidential candidate Ronald Reagan.

While Vice President, George H.W. Bush was responsible for Saddam Hussein's
acquisition of weapons and funding during the Iran-Iraq War.

Osama bin Laden, then a Mujahedeen leader in Afghanistan, is reputed to have been
a CIA agent who made use of CIA resources and U.S.-funds to bolster the morale of
radical Islamists after the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Further, the Bush family,
through its ties to the bin Laden family and other connections, otherwise aided bin
Laden's rise.

The September 11, 2001 attacks was planned or sanctioned by the Bush
administration, to secure oil pipeline routes through Afghanistan in preparation for
Peak Oil.

Marvin Bush was in charge of security at the World Trade Center in the months just
prior to the 9-11-01 attacks.

The threat of WMDs and terrorism in the wake of the September 11 attacks were
political cover for the 2003 implementation of PNAC founders Cheney and
Rumsfeld's 1998 plan for the U.S. invasion and occupation of Iraq, originally
presented to President Clinton.

The assassination of Olof Palme may have been related to his knowledge of Iran-
Contra.

George HW Bush Sr. was a CIA agent since the late 1950's. He was the agent in
charge of the failed "Bay of Pigs" invasion of Cuba in 1961. Bush's presence in this
event can be proven by the names of the boats used in the operation. The boats
were named the "Houston", after Bush's adopted home town, the "Zapata", after his
company Zapata Oil, and the "Barbara", after his wife.

CIA agent Bush was in Dallas TX on November 22, 1963, but he claims he "can't
remember what he was doing" when President Kennedy was assassinated. George
HW Bush would claim in a letter to FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover that he had
overheard a Texas Young Republican by the name of James Parrot threatening the
President. Two CIA agents, E. Howard Hunt and Frank Sturgis were briefly held for
questioning in the JFK shooting, but were released after the arrest of Lee Harvey
Oswald. Hunt and Sturgis were in the "grassy knoll" area, where many experts
believe the fatal gunshot was fired from. Lee Harvey Oswald's journal, currently on
display in Washington at the National Archives, contains the name and phone
number for George H.W. Bush.

Consolidation of political power

Prescott Bush supported the Nazis. These claims stem from investments he held in
Nazi Germany.

While George H.W. Bush was head of the CIA, he may have been involved in the
1976 assassination of Orlando Letelier. Bush remains silent on this issue, and the
CIA refuses to release many of the internal documents which could shed some light
on it. There was an organized conspiracy between Jeb Bush, Katherine Harris, the
U.S. Supreme Court, and ChoicePoint to rig the American presidential election in
2000.

Certain members of the Bush Administration, the United States Supreme Court, and
the Republican Party disenfranchised tens of thousands of voters in the 2000 and
2004 elections via voter purging lists, poll harassments, rigged electronic voting
machines (see Diebold Election Systems), and fake absentee ballots.

Through legislation and actions which extend executive powers and reduce
oversight as justified by the War on Terrorism, the Bush administration is working
toward establishing a totalitarian state.

In the Bush administration's ambitions to expand the Texas Medication Algorithm
Project to the entire U.S., mandating "mental health" screening of every American
and possibly forcing treatments on the "ill", is suspected a range of issues from
mere pharmochemical-industry collusion up to a new version of Hitlerian control,
demonisation, or eradication of dissidents and mental defectives

Other

The Bush family supports crime and Satanism through the Skull and Bones Society--
only their involvement in the organization is actually known.

Conspiracy of Silence is a 56 minute Discovery Channel documentary film, detailing
an alleged Lawrence King child sex scandal that involved many children from
Nebraska institution, Boys Town. The organized child sex parties implicated the
Reagan and Bush White House during the 1980s.

The Bush family--especially Neil and Jeb Bush--profited from the Savings and Loan
crisis of the 1980s.

Jonathan Bush was involved in banking tomfoolery with Riggs Bank.

The Bush family is actually part of a vast bloodline shared by many European royal
families of alien/inhuman Reptoid blood, asserted by David Icke, among others.

The Bush family is related to Rev. George Bush (biblical scholar) (1796-1859) a
leading 19th-century Hebrew scholar, Presbyterian minister and professor who
wrote "The Life of Mohammed" (1830 (Bush geneological chart included in the
edition published by The Book Tree)), an anti-Muslim polemic. According to one
theory, George W. Bush's foreign policy towards Islamic nations is an attempt to
engage in a religious war that has been planned for generations.

Known history

The following are the parts of known history which have led people (see references)
to make further claims (see allegations above).
Businesses associated with Prescott Bush, such as the Union Banking Corporation,
were shut down in November, 1942 -- nearly one year after America's entrance into
World War II -- under the Trading With the Enemy Act for working with Nazis.

George H.W. Bush, Prescott Bush, and George W. Bush were members of the Skull
and Bones secret society, along with John Kerry. (Bush's membership in the Skull
and Bones society was the subject of several Doonesbury cartoons.)

George H.W. Bush was head of the Central Intelligence Agency in 1976-77.

Ronald Reagan's would-be assassin John Hinckley Jr is the son of one of George
H.W. Bush's better supporters in his campaign against Reagan; the Hinckleys'
Vanderbilt Energy was threatened with a -million fine the morning of the
assassination attempt; Scott Hinckley and Neil Bush had a dinner appointment for
the next day.[8]

George W. Bush has sealed the presidential records of both himself and his father.

Saddam Hussein was provided with weapons and funding during the Iran-Iraq War
in the 1980s during the Reagan administration, when George H.W. Bush was Vice
President. In addition, Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of Defense under George W. Bush
was the Special Envoy to the Middle East in this period, appointed by President
Reagan. He met personally with Saddam Hussein during the Iran-Iraq war.

Dick Cheney was G.H.W. Bush's Defense Secretary, and is currently G.W. Bush's Vice-
President. Cheney is the former President and CEO of Halliburton Company which
has been given an exclusive and unbidded contract in postwar Iraq. In addition,
Halliburton's accounting firm was Arthur Andersen, which has been convicted of
obstruction of justice, and allegedly committed fraud.

The Carlyle Group is an investment group which includes members of the Bush
family and the bin Laden family (one of the richest in Saudi Arabia). George H. W.
Bush and bin Ladens were at a Carlyle meeting in a DC hotel the morning of 9/11.
George Bush's private plane landed in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on the morning of
9/11. While private flights were grounded after 9/11, permission was granted to fly
several bin Ladens to a gathering location. They left the U.S. before air traffic
resumed. In total, four planes were allowed to leave the U.S. with Saudi citizens
when the American airspace was closed.

George W. Bush and Salem bin Laden were coinvestors/business partners in Arbusto
Energy.

The 2000 Presidential Election was won by George W. Bush in Florida, the governor
of which was his brother, Jeb Bush, after a decision by the U.S. Supreme Court. The
court decision was divided 5-4.

During Election Night of the 2000 Presidential Election, John Prescott Ellis, a full
cousin of George W. Bush, was a consultant to Fox News, analyzing data from the
Voter News Service. He regularly contacted Jeb and George Bush by phone that
evening.

The Project for the New American Century, which in 1990s advocated the invasion of
Iraq for reasons of geopolitical strategy, included Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld,
Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle, and John R. Bolton, all of whom subsequently held
influential positions in the Bush administration.

The Bush administration does not accept the International Criminal Court's authority
over American citizens, and members of the administration have questioned the
usefulness of the United Nations. George W. Bush appointed John R. Bolton to a
recess appointment as Ambassador to the United Nations although Bolton had
previously made disparaging remarks about the U.N.

The George W. Bush administration pushed for the USA PATRIOT Act and has used
the new powers in a variety of cases.

George W. Bush, during the 2003 State of the Union Address, said that British
intelligence had learned Iraq had been attempting to purchase uranium from Africa.
That claim was based on information which the CIA said it could not verify, and CIA
head George Tenet accepted responsibility for failing to remove the assertion from
the speech in the fact-checking stage. An earlier document specifically documenting
a supposed buy from Niger was known to be a forgery and was not referred to in
any Bush speech.

George W. Bush has made remarks suggesting that he saw footage of the first 9/11
impact on network television, even though that crash was not broadcast until hours
later.

Bush plans to have nuclear waste stored at the volcanic Yucca Mountain facility.

Bush has made the following statements:
"I told all four [congressional leaders] that there were going to be some times where
we don't agree with each other. But that's OK. If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a
heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator." December 18, 2000

Answering a repeated reporter question about the anti-Bush gwbush.com, "But how
far should these guys go?", Bush replied "There ought to be limits to freedom. We're
aware of the site, and this guy is just a garbage man, that's all he is. Of course I
don't appreciate it. And you wouldn't, either." May 21, 1999

When the White House had released a copy of a National Guard Bureau document,
Aeronautical Orders Number 87, September 29, 1972, they inked out James R.
Bath's name (which was revealed by comparing it to a 2000 release of the same
document, Bath's name uncensored). The allegation is that the White House was
afraid of drawing attention to George W. Bush's relationship with James R. Bath, who
managed funds for members of the Bin Laden family, and was the Director of BCCI.

The following is a reprint from AOL News. It is the f'inal nail in the coffin.'

BUSH SPENDING

(April 3) - Federal spending is outstripping economic growth at a rate unseen in
more than half a century, provoking some conservatives to complain that
government under Republican control has gotten too big.

The federal government is currently spending 20.8 cents of every the economy
generates, up from 18.5 cents in 2001, White House budget documents show.
That's the most rapid growth during one administration since Franklin Roosevelt.
There are no signs that the trend is about to turn around. The House Budget
Committee last week rejected a proposal that would require spending hikes to be
offset by cuts in other spending or by tax increases.

This week, the House is scheduled to debate the .8 trillion budget for 2007,
which projects an additional trillion of debt in the next five years.
The Sept. 11 attacks, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and Gulf Coast hurricanes
account for only part of the increased spending.

Other factors: the biggest military buildup in decades, domestic spending, and the
rise of benefits for the elderly, poor and disabled.

"You take anything, and we've grown it big," says Rep. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., a leading
critic of the spending spurt. "When you're in control of the presidency and both
houses of Congress, there's just no stop on it. There's no brake."

Examples:

-- Spending for President Bush's military buildup, which began before 9/11, has
risen nearly 50% above inflation in five years.

-- Medicare's new prescription-drug coverage is projected to cost an average of
billion a year over the next decade, adding nearly 20% to the health care
program's annual price tag.

-- Spending on social programs, from education to veterans health care, has risen
faster than at any time since the 1960s.

"Budgeting is about making choices, and this period is one that shows a complete
absence of that," says Douglas Holtz-Eakin, a Republican who stepped down last
year as director of the Congressional Budget Office.

The White House points to recent domestic cuts and the elimination of scores of
small programs. It says Bush has led efforts to trim Social Security, Medicare and
Medicaid.

"By far the bulk of new funding - 75% of it - has been to restore the hollowed-out
military the president inherited, strengthen homeland defenses after 9/11, and fight
the war on terror," says Scott Milburn, spokesman for the Office of Management and
Budget. "These are essential investments that were required ... to protect our
nation."

The spending spike contrasts with the mid-1990s, when Republicans gained control
of Congress and compromised with President Clinton on spending cuts that led to a
6 billion budget surplus in 2000.

"Republicans have gotten the sense that they're going to get elected by passing out
money to people," says former Republican House Budget Committee chairman John
Kasich.

Can it be any clearer what we must do?

We must come together and take back our country.

17. Education and Literacy

Early Modern England: Politics, Religion, and Society under the Tudors and Stuarts (HIST 251) Professor Wrightson begins by assessing the state of education in the late medieval period and then discusses the two cultural forces (Renaissance humanism and the Reformation) which lay behind the educational expansion of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. While there were distinct hierarchies of learning in the period (with women and the lower orders having far fewer educational opportunities open to them than other members of the social order), this was genuinely a revolutionary period in terms of education. Attendance at the universities and the Inns of Court expanded exponentially, educational ideals for the elite were transformed, standards of clerical education reached unprecedented heights, grammar schools and petty schools were founded across the country and, by the end of the period, literacy levels in the population were much higher. England was now a partially literate society and was well on its way to achieving mass literacy. A threshold had been crossed, and this shift had far-reaching cultural and political effects. 00:00 - Chapter 1. Education: Cultural Influences Underlying an Increase in Schooling 09:33 - Chapter 2.
