GW.Bush, CIA & the Manhattan Institute

GW Bush, Jesus and
the Manhattan Institute

You have to admire the nerve of G.W. Bush. It takes a kind of goofy
audacity to claim that Jesus' teachings and the CIA-derived ideas of the
right-wing Manhattan Institute are your twin sources of inspiration.
Bush publicly credits the Manhattan Institute with inventing his entire
"compassionate conservative" platform and persona.
NY Times June 12, 2000
Bush Culls Campaign Theme
>From Conservative Thinkers
"Gov. George W. Bush has said his political views have been shaped by
the work of Myron Magnet of the Manhattan Institute."
The Dallas Morning Star 4/16/2000
The Godfathers of 'Compassionate Conservatism
"In Austin that day in 1997, Mr. Bush told Mr. Magnet that his 1993 book
The Dream and The Nightmare, had changed his life..."
This past April, G.W. declared a new public holiday will be celebrated
in Texas each June 10th-Jesus Day. [See:
<A HREF="http://www.governor.state.tx.us]">http://www.governor.state.tx.us]
</A> Even many Christians found this
unprecedented crossing of the line between church and state to be
troubling. It is however entirely in line with the teachings of the MI
(Manhattan Institute), which advocates having religious institutions
take over many of the present tasks of government.
The Weekly Standard 8/23/2000
The Political Theory of Compassionate Conservatism
by John J. Dilulio Jr. [A theorist for the Manhattan Institute]
"In every instance where my administration sees a responsibility to help
people," [G.W. Bush] promised, "we will look first to faith-based
organizations, charities and community groups."
While Jesus' teachings are well-known even to most non-Christians the
ideas of the MI are much less familiar to the public. MI was started in
1978 by Ronald Reagan's CIA director, William Casey, and has become the
nation's most influential, though not best known-as befits a CIA
operation-right wing think tank. While I personally have great respect
for the traditions of the world's religions, including Christianity, the
CIA promoting religion may not exactly be what Jesus had in mind.

Turning Intellect Into
Influence Promoting Its Ideas,
the Manhattan Institute Has Nudged
New York Rightward
"Currently housed in an unprepossessing warren on the second floor of a
building near Grand Central Terminal, the institute was founded as a
free-market education and research organization by William Casey, who
then went off to head the Central Intelligence Agency in the Reagan
Administration."
Casey was a top American intelligence operative who, among other
endeavors, helped the CIA bring thousands of Nazi SS officials into the
U.S. after WWII as part of Operation Paper Clip. These Nazi SS doctors,
scientists and intelligence experts who were directly involved in the
death camps, in propaganda work and in creating the prototypes for new
and better ways to kill masses of people, were installed in private
industry, in the CIA, in medical and psychological research programs in
universities and in the media, supposedly to fight Communism.
Many of these SS officials professed strong religious convictions, as
did Adolf Hitler himself and as do many of the top scholars associated
with the MI.
"Thus inwardly armed with confidence in God and the unshakable stupidity
of the voting citizenry, the politicians can begin the fight for the
'remaking' of the Reich as they call it."
[Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf Vol. 2 Chapter 1
While school vouchers and the turning over of public education to
religious institutions is being sold by many on the right as a new and
very progressive idea, the promotion of religious teachings in public
schools was actually a key aspect of the Third Reich.

Hitler.htm
"Secular schools can never be tolerated because such schools have no
religious instruction, and a general moral instruction without a
religious foundation is built on air; consequently, all character
training and religion must be derived from faith . . . we need believing
people."
Adolf Hitler, April 26, 1933, from a speech made during negotiations
leading to the Nazi-Vatican Concordant of 1933
More than simply a violation of the separation of church and state which
is an essential part of the Constitution, my concern with Bush's
"religious convictions" is that they, like those of the Manhattan
Institute, are actually a cover for fascism.
Previous to adopting G.W. as their poster-boy, NYC Mayor Rudolph
Giuliani was their most prominent operative in elected office. Like G.W.
Bush, the infamously repressive and Constitution-violating Mayor of New
York has also publicly acknowledged on numerous occasions that the
Manhattan Institute is the source of his policy ideas.
"The mayor has a very close working relationship with the Manhattan
Institute," Giuliani's communications director, Crystine Lategano,
said." -Boston Sunday Globe 2/22/98
The MI's twin obsessions as evidenced by even a brief visit to their
webpage, are race and privatization. Among the ideas they are
particularly keen on is getting everyone's DNA in a national database.
The best known of their many celebrity scholars is Charles Murray, who
wrote his controversial book, The Bell Curve-proposing the genetic
inferiority of Blacks as a justification for eliminating affirmative
action-while a research fellow of the MI. He continues, despite their
claims to the contrary, to publicly speak there about eliminating
welfare and on racial issues.

While the public expression of the ideas of the MI are couched in
politically-correct terminology, the ideas themselves are closer to
those of late 19th and early 20th century Eugenics than any other
source. Eugenics is the application of science to the task of improving
the human race by selective breeding (positive Eugenics) and
sterilization or elimination of undesirable members of society (negative
Eugenics).

NEVER AGAIN
BY WARD HARKAVY
The History of American Eugenics
Is Explored Online
A century ago, scientists from the top universities in America began to
study people's pedigrees in the hopes of creating "perfect" children.
Instead, they spawned a monster: the pseudoscience of eugenics...It's
more than coincidence that the Cold Spring Harbor Lab hosts this
project. It is, after all, home of the Human Genome Project to map
DNA...Minority groups were most often the target of this plan...The ERO
itself was endowed by a grant from the widow of railroad magnate E.H.
Harriman [Prescott Bush was A. Harriman's business partner in Brown
Brother Harriman, a firm that specialized in financing Hitler]. Today's
breakthroughs in, say, prenatal screening would have been embraced by
eugenicists, and there's always a group of people who will subscribe to
racial-inferiority theories like those in The Bell Curve. [written by
Manhattan Institute scholar, Charles Murray]
Eugenics reached its most popular expression in numerous American laws
passed in the 1920's and 1930's requiring forcible sterilization of
mental defectives and restricting immigration from Eastern Europe,
Ireland, Africa and Latin America.
Among its top promoters were Rockefeller and Henry Ford. Today, their
foundations continue to fund many of the top Eugenics programs in the
world. The Manhattan Institute's main sponsor is the Rockefeller's Chase
Manhattan Bank, an organization that has publicly admitted to helping
Hitler loot the banks of occupied Europe.
Until WWII and the Holocaust temporarily gave Eugenics a bad name, many
American States were seriously considering legislation requiring
Euthanasia for people with chronic diseases and for so-called chronic
criminals.
Among the very few legitimate claims to fame of G.W. Bush is his
unprecedented record of presiding over executions while Governor of
Texas. Men, women and even mentally retarded convicts are sent to their
deaths almost daily via lethal injection in Texas at a rate roughly
equal to all other U.S. Governors combined.
NY Times 8/7/2000
Executing The Mentally Retarded
Even As Laws Begin to Shift
Here in Texas, Gov. George W. Bush has opposed laws that would prohibit
the execution of the mentally retarded. It is a position he still holds,
a spokeswoman, Linda Edwards, said on Friday.
The significance of Nazi Germany to an understanding of Eugenics is that
it stands as a more or less fully documented expression of what a
high-tech fully-developed social Eugenics program might look like. The
Nazis used the most up-to-date science to create breeding programs for
the elite and corresponding extermination programs for those to be
deleted.
Downsizing and selecting the subjects for an entire society, Hitler
promised to create a New Germany and a new humanity. He originated the
term, New World Order that later became President Bush's buzzword. As
Mayor Giuliani and Governor Bush have done-to an admittedly much lesser
degree due to the fierce opposition they have encountered-the
harassment, persecution and elimination of the least fit and those least
wanted by society substitutes for costly social programs for the
disabled, the hungry, the abandoned and the homeless.
G.W. Bush's father-former CIA chief and President George Bush-brought us
the corporate-sponsored Gulf War and its after effect-Gulf War Syndrome
which has destroyed the health of hundreds of thousands of American
service personnel and their families. Accompanied by the same military
and intelligence advisors and with the able assistance of American
high-tech industry, the son is poised to bring us a play-at-home version
of that fiasco.
Here in NYC we are being exposed to genetically-altered mosquitoes bred
in nearby bio-warfare labs, sprayed with a rotating cocktail of
organophosphate and pyrethroid nerve gas pesticides originally invented
by Nazi chemists and will soon be given the chance to become test
subjects for the government's latest experimental live virus vaccines,
courtesy of Oravax, a private company directly associated with the U.S.
Army bio-warfare lab in Ft. Dietrick Md. [See:
<A HREF="http://baltech.org/lederman/spray/]">
http://baltech.org/lederman/spray/]</A>
G.W. Bush and Giuliani are not only friends and fellow Manhattan
Institute puppets; they have many political associates in common and
often pursue similar policies despite the vast difference in their
constituencies. At the same time all of NYC is being subjected to an
unprecedented exposure to toxic nerve gas pesticides, Texas is
simultaneously being doused with even greater amounts of neuro-toxic
chemicals. [For details on the massive poisoning by pesticides presently
happening in Texas contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] OR [EMAIL PROTECTED]]
[See: <A HREF="http://baltech.org/lederman/spray/">
http://baltech.org/lederman/spray/</A> for detailed reports on the
spraying in NYC].
NYC is the perfect site for a practice run to get the government's
Eugenics program up to speed, learn how to deal with the inevitable
opposition from activists and practice all of the necessary techniques
of a fully-fledged police state. Spray an entire city like New York
where there are tens of thousands of people from virtually every nation
and you will statistically discover exactly which ethnic and racial
groups are vulnerable or especially resistant to a particular chemical
or vaccine. Compiling statistics was Giuliani's specialty in the Reagan
Justice Department.
Carrying out such experiments on Americans or any other civilian or
military population is both highly illegal and immoral. And that's why
you need men like Giuliani, Bush or Hitler to get this kind of job done.
Men who, like Giuliani, can crush the homeless one moment and then make
a pious statement about protecting the Holy Virgin the next; or like
G.W. Bush who can claim he is inspired by the example of Jesus and then
preside over the execution of a retarded man.
People within the Giuliani administration have confided in me that if
elected GW will appoint Giuliani U.S. Attorney General. The former
Federal prosecutor, who as the number three man in Reagan's Justice
Department helped create the phony war on drugs, the Contra cocaine
connection and a massive program of civil forfeiture and elimination of
civil liberties directly modeled after Hitler's, is the perfect
accompanist for G.W.
"Restrictions on personal liberty, on the right of free expression
including freedom of the press; on the rights of assembly and
association; warrants for house searches, orders for confiscations as
well as restrictions on property, are also permissible beyond the legal
limits otherwise prescribed"
from Hitler's, Decree For The Protection of the People and the State,
1933
Latino and Black voters who thought the all singing, all dancing, all
praying sideshow and the inclusion of a few words of Spanish at the
Republican convention means they have a place in Bush's New World Order
need to think about exactly what that place will be. The Republican
Convention program was organized in part by the CIA sponsored think
tank, The Manhattan Institute.
Village Voice 8/8/2000
Uncle Shrub's Cabin
Absent in the sticky Philadelphia heat was the drumbeat of the
fire-breathing, nay-saying Christian Right. In its place, singing the
praises of the Jesus-influenced candidate and following a script laid
out by the Manhattan Institute...the social scientists from the
Manhattan Institute rolled out their charts and reported that kids who
go to church in poor neighborhoods do fewer drugs and thus, churches,
mosques, and synagogues "should be supported as uniquely qualified
agencies of social control that matter a great deal in the lives of
adolescents in America's most disorganized and impoverished communities.
One thing I'll admit about Bush, who strikes me as a blandly nice if not
too bright fellow (unlike Giuliani who appears more and more each day to
be a demented psychopath) is that if elected and if he institutes
Eugenics policies no one will be able to claim he changed his views.
When you make your reputation presiding over executions, those who vote
for you are getting exactly what was advertised.
It's really all just a matter of semantics. Compassionate conservatism:
it's just another way of saying mercy killing or Eugenics.
All hail President George W. Bush,
the Executioner in Chief.
