Homosexual prostitution inquiry ensnares VIP with Reagan, Bush: ‘Call boys’ took midnight tour of White House. The Washington Times 29th June 1989 re Franklin Affair
They are the most violent dirtiest people on the face of the Earth. Somewhere Americans are going to have to take their country back and start finding out – Who are these people? Who are these people we call our representatives? The Bushes? George Bush the president – his father went around the country talking about a New World Order. The people who are running this country from behind the scenes do not care a thing about Americans or bloodshed anywhere. Jordan Maxwell
Bin Laden, Saddam Hussein, George Bush senior were all in business together. We’re talking about business partners in oil companies. You know what we’re talking about here? We’re talking about big money. We’re talking about high treason. Crimes against the state. High treason against America. High treason. Jordan Maxwell
The Bush regime was a front for the Vatican ... The most important enemy this country has today ... is the Vatican. The Vatican is behind the crap that’s going on all over. Jordan Maxwell, Project Camelot conference September 2009

What policies will make us more safe? So the fear is legitimate but is manipulated: and that is the core of the Bush policy. Professor Robert Jensen
The current Bush administration is probably the worst administration that we have had in the twentieth century. By that I mean it is the most unrestrained by public opinion or the most unrestrained by world opinion. It has the tightest little constellation of right-wing people that we have seen in government. And it seems to be absolutely determined to be at war. Howard Zinn, Liberty Bound 2004
After 9/11 a climate of fear was created in order to shut down any opposition to the Bush Administration’s new agenda. A week after 9/11 Anthrax began appearing in the mail. The letters were made to look as though they were the work of Muslim extremists, claiming ‘Death to America’ and ‘Allah is Great’ ... When the FBI tested the Anthrax it was highly refined and weaponised. Colin Powell would go on CNN and deny these allegations ... The Anthrax used in the attacks ... led the investigation to Fort Detrick. Fabled Enemies documentary
When a republic’s most venerable institutions no longer operate as they were intended, it becomes possible for small cabals to usurp power, and, while keeping the forms, corrupt the function of those institutions for their own ends. Looking at things that way, the George W Bush presidency has been both result and symptom of the decadence of America’s constitutional mechanisms. T D Allman

Certain countries have been targets of the United States ... Yet the biggest country involved in terrorism is Saudi Arabia. They finance it. And we have treated them with kid gloves. We have treated them as if they are not involved in terrorism at all. Is that because of groups like Carlyle that have significant investment with Saudi Arabia interests? Is that because George W Bush’s father is in fact part of the Carlyle Group and is close to the bin Laden family? Lawrence Klayman
George Bush and corporate America are intent on eliminating taxes on all capital incomes. Nor do they care if record budget deficits are the result. Many of their more right-wing friends, including those in Congress, actually want larger deficits. They see chronic, record deficits as producing the budget crisis necessary to use as an excuse to privatise Social Security and dismantle what remains of the Roosevelt New Deal programs of the 1930s. Jack Rasmus
We wanted to look at which companies actually gained from September 11th. It turned out this company Carlyle Group ... Both George W Bush and George H W Bush worked for the Carlyle group.

The man who was in charge of the decision desk at Fox that night, the man who called it for Bush, was none other than Bush’s first cousin John Ellis. How does someone like Bush get away with something like this? Well first it helps if your bother is the governor of the state in question. Second, make sure the chairman of your campaign is also the votre-compte woman and that her state has hired a company [Data Base Technologies] that’s gonna throw voters off the roles who aren’t likely to vote for you. You can usually tell them by the colour of their skin. ibid.
