The tumultuous and tawdry travels of Neil Bush


http://www.mediatransparency.org/story.php?storyID=100


These days, while President George W. Bush is all about convincing the American public that he has a "Plan for Victory" in Iraq, his younger brother, Neil, is all about taking advantage of the family name. While in a series of speeches the president has been trumpeting a 35-page National Security Council document titled, "Our National Strategy for Victory in Iraq," brother Neil has been globetrotting with high-powered comrades and touting his company's prospectus.

Over the past six months, Neil Bush, the son of former President George Herbert Walker Bush and Barbara Bush and the younger brother of the president, has been shepherded around several former Soviet republics by a man wanted for fraud by Russian authorities, and has showed up in the Philippines and Taiwan at the side of a self-styled messiah.

-snip- (this snip tells of Neil's Crest Investment Co. , info gleaned during his divorce, and his Moon connection)

In 1995, former President George H. W. Bush received $10,000 to speak at a Moon-sponsored Buenos Aires banquet that launched the Reverend's Latin American publication, "Tiempos del Mundo" (Times of the World). "A lot of my friends in South America don't know about the Washington Times but it is an independent voice," the former president said. "The editors of the Washington Times tell me that never once has the man with the vision interfered with the running of the paper, a paper that in my view brings sanity to Washington DC."

1. That's a helluva indictment of Bush family values and ethics
Thanks for posting.

from the link:

One of Bush's "business partners" is Jamal Daniel, "a Syrian-American businessman, who is co-chairman with Bush of a fund called Crest Investment Company." According to the newspaper, "Daniel boasts important connections with leaders and their families in the Middle East, including former Iraqi Foreign Minister Tariq Aziz, the Financial Times reported in a December 2003 investigative article on the Daniel-Bush relationship."

Last year, despite being a "little-known fund," Crest Investment Company was "granted lucrative rights to develop a plant to process liquefied natural gas near Freeport, Texas, in the process pushing out ExxonMobil, which had first rights to develop the plant."

3. what you have to understand about Bush and the Neo-cons
is that they are internationalists, their goal is to promote American ownership worldwide. They will use the military to better American business interests abroad.

4. CIA Records Search Tool (CREST)
is the name of the CIA database of declassified intelligence documents. The database, searchable by title, data, and text content, includes Directorate of Operations reports on the role of intelligence in the post WW-II period; material on the creation, organization, and role of the CIA within the U.S. Government; a collection of foreign scientific articles, ground photographs and associated reference materials; and the CIA's first release of motion picture film. This database is available in the library in Room 3000.

5. And he's not even the biggest moron. Marvin is.
But Neil is more trouble than Marvin.

I see his sorry ass at basketball games sometimes. Neil is much hated in Houston.
