Bush Family Connections
BLAST FROM THE PAST
and TIES to the PRESENT
How do people who knew him from the Blount campaign remember the George W.
Bush who was A.W.O.L. from the National Guard? They remember a 26 year
old who drank too much and was the "privileged son."
"Those who encountered Bush in Alabama remember him as an affable
social drinker who acted younger than his 26 years. Referred to as
George Bush, Jr. by newspapers in those days, sources say he also
tended to show up late every day, around noon or one, at Blount's
campaign headquarters in Montgomery. They say Bush would prop his
cowboy boots on a desk and brag about how much he drank the night
before." [Glynn Wilson - "George W. Bush's Lost Year in 1972 Alabama" -
(Feb 11, 2004) - http://www.southerner.net/blog/awolbush.html]
"They also remember Bush's stories about how the New Haven, Connecticut
police always let him go, after he told them his name, when they
stopped him "all the time" for driving drunk as a student at Yale in
the late 1960s. Bush told this story to others working in the campaign
"what seemed like a hundred times," says Red Blount's nephew C. Murphy
Archibald, now an attorney in Charlotte, N.C., who also worked on the
Blount campaign and said he had "vivid memories" of that time."
(Wilson)
"He would laugh uproariously as though there was something funny about
this. To me, that was pretty memorable, because here he is, a number
of years out of college, talking about this to people he doesn't
know," Archibald said. "He just struck me as a guy who really had an
idea of himself as very much a child of privilege, that he wasn't
operating by the same rules." (Wilson)
"Many of those who came into close contact with Bush say he liked to
drink beer and Jim Beam whiskey, and to eat fist-fulls of peanuts, and
Executive burgers, at the Cloverdale Grill. They also say he liked to
sneak out back for a joint of marijuana or into the head for a line of
cocaine...." (Wilson)
Bush's failure to show up for his National Guard assignment is well
documented on the internet and it would be redundant to repeat any of it
here except to say I believe the evidence is ample that he was A.W.O.L.
(or worse, a deserter), an offense anyone else would be punished for by
being sent to Vietnam or dishonorably discharged. Neither of which was to
happen to the "privileged son" of the high placed George H.W. Bush.
Several sources, including several books with citations and other
attribution charge that "Bush was arrested for possession of cocaine in
1972 in Texas, most likely in late November or December after his stint in
Alabama. Bush was allowed to perform community service in 1973 by working
for a minority children's program in Houston, Professionals United for
Leadership League (PULL), chaired by his father. The record of that arrest
was expunged, meaning he apparently received the equivalent of Youthful
Offender status at the age of 26," wrote Wilson.
"According to the Uniform Code of Military Justice, a soldier would be
considered Absent Without Leave (AWOL) if missing from his unit for 30
days or less. If absent for more than 30 days, a soldier would be
considered a Deserter, if he had "no intention of returning."" (ibid)
George W. Bush worked for the
Winston Blount campaign, while he was
supposedly attending National Guard?
"The "interlocking directorates" of the Bush family, their friends and
this administration is documented by conservative Republican author
Kevin Phillips in his book American Dynasty, although he doesn't deal
with the Blount connection in detail. George H. W. Bush and Winton
Blount met and became tight in Washington during the Nixon years,
according to published accounts, when they were sometimes invited by
the White House to play doubles together on the south lawn tennis
court." (Wilson)
"Blount had served as southeastern campaign chair for Nixon in his run
against John Kennedy in 1960. He served as president of the U.S.
Chamber of Commerce in 1969 before accepting Nixon's appointment as
Postmaster General in 1970, where he generated a major national
controversy by laying off 33,000 postal workers. He quit that job to
run for office and try to help capture the Senate for the Republican
Party in 1972, but lost by a 24-point margin, in spite of the
political pros from Texas, and the deceptive campaign practices."
(Wilson)
"Nixon appointed Bush's daddy Ambassador to the United Nations in 1972,
a well publicized fact that was known to campaign workers and Guard
personnel in Alabama. He would be appointed by President Gerald Ford
as head of the CIA in 1976 and go on to serve as Ronald Reagan's vice
president, then as president in his own right for one term. Bush Jr's.
granddaddy Prescott Bush was a successful industrialist from
Kennebunkport, Maine, who served as a U.S. Senator. Since leaving
public office, the former President Bush now sits on the board of the
Carlyle Group, which has been accused of profiteering off the war his
son started, doing business with Saudi Arabia, Iraq and other oil-rich
countries in the Middle East." (Wilson)
THE BLOUNT CONNECTION
Blount's construction and manufacturing empire prospered in the new
industrial economy here. The first big construction deal for Blount
Brother's construction was signed with the Saudi government. On one
occasion Archibald's uncle banked a check for $334 million to build a
university in Saudi Arabia. The check is on display in Blount's
ghostwritten biography in the Shakespeare theater box office and gift
shop on Vaughn Road. In the caption, Blount brags about how he rushed
the check into the bank to get that $200,000 a day in interest flowing
"as quickly as possible." (Wilson)
"Winton Blount IV now carries on the family tradition, according to
newspaper accounts, subcontracting for the likes of Halliburton and
Bechtel in Saudi Arabia and Iraq today." (Wilson)
Like the bin Laden family both of these construction magnets had invested
in the Carlyle Group which profits from weapons manufacturing and both
been protected by governments of Saudi Arabia and the U.S., respectively
-- and in an incident which Wilson correctly points out why when life
saving transplanted organs were grounded were all the members of the bin
Laden family flown out of the U.S. just two days after 9/11 with full
cooperation and one must assume coordination of George W. Bush's White
House?
THE SAUDI CONNECTION
WHY did on September 12th, the day after the horrifying attack on the
World Trade Towards did George Tenet, the director of the CIA, at 10 p.m.
call Prince Bandar at his home and tell him that 15 of the 19
hijackers/attackers were Saudis and he should get the bin Ladens and all
members of the Saudi royal family out of the country?
"Like Bandar, the bin Laden family epitomized the marriage between the
United States and Saudi Arabia. Their hugh construction company, the Saudi
Binladin Group (SBG), banked with Citigroup and invested with Goldman
Sachs and Merrill Lynch. Over time, the bin Ladens did business with such
icons of Western culture as Disney, the Hard Rock Cafe, Snapple, and
Porsche. In the mid-nineties, they joined various members of the House of
Saud in becoming business associates with former secretary of state James
Baker and former president George H. W. Bush by investing int he Carlye
Group, a gigantic Washington, D.C.--based private equity firm. As Charles
Freeman, the former U.S. ambassador to Saudi Arabia, told the Wall Street
Journal, `If there were ever any company closely connected to the U.S. and
its presence in Saudi Arabia, it's the Saudi Binladin Group.'" (Craig
Unger, "House of Bush, House of Saud" 2004)
The Blount family, Bush, Saud, bin Laden are all closely connected. How
else could Bandar obtain clearance from the CIA, the FBI, and all the
other government agencies through the White House to fly the royal family
and the bin Ladens on a day when not even life saving organs could fly and
save lives -- when on the first time in the history of the United States,
ALL, except military air flight was completely grounded?
