Who Controls the World?
Who killed JFK?Who created the CIA?Who has been secretly and quietly amassing power and riches in the US throughout its brief history?Who has been building the End Times Babylon Whore USA Empire?The "Eastern Establishment" Skull and Bones Boys, Nazis, and the CIA, and they were right over the Hobe Sound bridge on Jupiter Island the whole time..."The unique, bizarre setup on Jupiter Island began in 1931, following the merger of W.A. Harriman & Co. with the British-American firm Brown Brothers.The reader will recall Mr. Samuel Pryor, the Merchant of Death. A partner with the Harrimans, Prescott Bush, George Walker and Nazi boss Fritz Thyssen in banking and shipping enterprises, Sam Pryor remained executive committee chairman of Remington Arms. In this period, the Nazi private armies (S.A. and S.S.) were supplied with American arms, most likely by Pryor and his company, as they moved to overthrow the German republic. Such gun-running as an instrument of national policy would later become notorious in the Iran-Contra affair.""Now, Sam Pryor had had property around Hobe Sound, Florida, for some time. In 1931, Joseph and Permelia Pryor Reed bought the entirety of Jupiter Island.This is a typically beautiful Atlantic coast barrier island, a half-mile wide and nine miles long. The middle of Jupiter Island lies just off Hobe Sound. The south bridge connects the island with the town of Jupiter, to the north of Palm Beach. It is about 90 minutes by auto from Miami today, a few minutes by helicopter."The Center of Power is in Washington DC (and Jupiter Island)

Eye opening
Tarpley was definitely first to write coherently and comprehensively about the Bush family legacy - at a time when Americans were scratching their heads trying to figure out how his son George W. could wind up in the presidency with so little experience running anything - much less the most powerful country in the world.The author, like Russ Baker in his more recent book about the Bush family, stresses how extremely secretive Bush senior has been about his past - which as Tarpley points out is pretty typical for someone with an extensive history as a covert CIA (before he became CIA director in 1975).Tarpley starts back with grandfather Prescott Bush and his Nazi connections and the initiation of three generations of Bushes into the secretive Skull and Bones society at Yale - a club for elite families that guarantees them a free pass to either Wall Street or high governmental positions. He goes onto describe the extremely secretive and compex CIA front Bush ran called Zapata Offshore - which according to its charter was an oil exploration and drilling company. However for some reason it seems to have been involved with the CIA overthrow of the democratically elected president of Guatemala in 1954 and other covert operations in Central America and Cuba. Zapata also had the misfortunate of having a lot of its SEC and government filings destroyed in a series of fires.Tarpley also covers Irangate and evidence suggesting Bush himself was running Iran Contra.There is a final chapter devoted to Bush senior's thyroid illness and the sense of the people around him that this explains a period of years (1988 until 1991 when he underwent treatment - he was president for most of this time) when he suffered from uncontrollable rages and extreme emotional volatility.By Dr Stuart Jeanne Bramhall, author of THE MOST REVOLUTIONARY ACT: MEMOIR OF AN AMERICAN REFUGEE

Confirmed my suspicions
What an example of a manufactured tool of the powers that ought not to be!

excellent
This is a book about GHWB - 41 - the first President Bush. I remember standing by my seat, waiting to get my diploma and the former President Bush was the convocation speaker. He delivered an excellent address full of wit and deep thoughts. This book sheds light on a rounder picture of the former president. It, at times, is not very flattering. At other times, it reveals what I consider to be some real character strengths. I was very favorably impressed with the scholarship conducted. I think that it was pretty comprehensive, but, time will tell, huh? The writing was smooth, stimulating, pulled me into the web of logical arguments, and it was done in a challenging but fun style. I was surprised that it was as good as it was. Of course, it could be much better, but, that'll be left for the historian who gain access to all of the documents in another 100 years. I give this an A-. I think it is well worth reading, used, new, or borrowed from the public library.

If you were a big Bush fan before you read ...
If you were a big Bush fan before you read this book, your opinion may change. WG Tarpley has researched the subject of the Bush Dynasty, starting with Prescott Bush and going back to the Hitler connection and the belief by the Bush family that peoples of minority upbringing and status should be terminated, or at least not allowed to propagate. Scary stuff in this book. Lies, playing the "wealth" card, saying what the masses appear to want to hear. Read my lips.....this one is a keeper, you'll definitely have a different perspective on the current candidate, Jeb Bush, his brother, George W. and old George Herbert Walker Bush himself. I'll let you form your own opinions.

This book is amazing, and frightening
Wow. I can't believe I didn't read this when it first came out (1994), but perhaps I wasn't as much into knowing everything about my politicians back then. I did follow GHW Bush's career, but this book is amazing, and frightening. It is really well researched, documented, and in depth. Just confirms what I already thought I knew about the Bushes, and a whole lot more! I was especially struck by what I perceive to be the parallels between Poppy Bush's hyperthryroid-induced wildly erratic behavior during his term as President, and Donald Trump's behavior throughout his presidential campaign, and beyond.

A very uncomplimentary (being generous here) eye-opening look at the at GHW Bush family & company
I appreciate Webster Tarpley's undertaking this unauthorized biography of G H W Bush. Many things revealed in this writing confirmed growing personal unease regarding the Bush dynasty along with other information learned regarding issues they appear to have been, and still are associated with. These things are quite disturbing, yet need to be considered/uncovered by so many more people in order to have public discourse and consideration as to things that need to be addressed, remedied, altered.

A demonography
The authors explain the life and times of president G.Bush I as a man who is a major chess piece in the network of the mighty investment bank Brown Brothers Harriman and the freemason lodge `Skull and Bones'.The authors sketch a dark picture of an oligarch in the Platonic sense: G. Bush as a scion of a wealthy patrician family, born to reign over the `democratic masses'.Politically, G. Bush was implicated in the Iran-Contras scandal, the Panama and first Iraq invasions, the replacement of Formosa (Taiwan) by the PR of China (negotiating lucrative deals for his friends). He buried the investigation into the Hinckley (a brother of a friend of one of his sons) shooting of President Reagan.Economically, he defended his friends in the Pennzoil-Texaco trial about the take-over of Getty Oil. He saved the NCBC (NationsBank) from bankruptcy by `massive favors and graft at the expense of the tax payer'. He relentlessly intervened on behalf of the oil cartels for their ground-tax privileges and oil depletion allowances. His war on drugs was only `rhetorical'.Ideologically, the authors state that he sided with those propagating population control, eugenics, race science and the `inferiority' of the blacks.Personally, they stress his mental instability and his `boundless lust for power'.Original but important is their analysis of the Watergate scandal. For them it is a coup d'état, instrumental in laying the basis for an authoritarian-totalitarian regime, not less than a rearrangement of the dominant institutions of the US government in favor of the intelligence communities.Nixon was dumped for his inability to manage the collapse of the dollar. However, as W. Engdahl explains in his magisterial book `A century of Wars', the subsequent oil crisis and the colossal oil price hike in 1973 catapulted the dollar and the US financial institutions again at the zenith of wealth power.This extremely well researched book (no libel suit!) constitutes a major information source and a must read for all those interested in US history.

Bush the deceitful puppet..
Bush is becoming history - his accomplishments are accomplished and in the past. This book shows just how much of a slave to his hidden masters he was. I inform myself with the book, but forgive me if I also use it to send myself to sleep of a restless night... ;-)
