was primarily Reagan and Bush who "encouraged" Iraq's
merciless war against Iran. That's obvious, although many Americans
-- the same Americans who cannot tell the difference between
Saddam and Osama -- are clueless.

Barreling Bushes |
Four
generations of the dynasty have chased profits through cozy
ties with Mideast leaders, spinning webs of conflicts of interest.
It's crucial that Americans come to understand how four generations
of the current president's family have embroiled the United
States in the Middle East through CIA connections, arms shipments,
rogue banks, inherited war policies and personal financial links.

| Sympathy
for Mr. Cheney-by F. Tupper Saussy |
| Now
that Michael Ruppert (www.fromthewilderness.com) has shown that
the whole 9/11 attack on America was masterminded and overseen
by Dick Cheney, I suppose the Vice-President is preparing an
apologist to take the heat. Of course, the media gateways will
do everything in their power to prevent the public's being as
informed as Mr. Ruppert, but thanks to the internet, people
are being brought up to speed very quickly. |

| Bush
Family Whitewashing in Iraq and Nazi Germany |
| Bush's
grandfather, Prescott Bush, and Prescott's father-in-law, George
Herbert Walker, helped finance the rise of the Nazi Party through
their intimate entanglements with Nazi industrial, shipping
and banking interests. This long (and well-documented) collaboration
continued even after America was at war with Nazi Germany. |

| The
Bush Family "Oiligarchy" |
| The
news media has made note of the curious ties between the oil
business and three of the four major party candidates for president
and vice president: George W. Bush, Richard Cheney and, to a
lesser extent, Al Gore. In one column, David Ignatius referred
to “the bizarre prospect of a presidential campaign in
which three of the four candidates” have ties to oil. WP,

| Bush
Sr. & a CIA Power Play-By Robert Parry |
| In
1980, the CIA men wanted back in and their champion was former
CIA director George Bush. With Bush and Ronald Reagan in power,
the old spies could resume their work with a vengeance. The
temptation was to do to Jimmy Carter what the CIA had done to
countless other world leaders -- overthrow him, a frightening
chapter from the October Surprise X-Files |

| October
Surprise: Time for Truth? Part 2-By Robert Parry |
The
diciest part of the October Surprise saga remains the allegations
of secret Paris meetings between Republicans and Iranians in
fall 1980. According to some of those alleging that the GOP
sabotaged President Carter's pre-election hostage negotiations,
the Paris meetings followed earlier contacts between William
Casey and Iranians in Madrid; in effect, the Paris talks cemented
the deal.
But what has made the Paris allegations so controversial is
the claim by some that George Bush, the Republican vice presidential
candidate and former CIA director, slipped away on the weekend
of Oct. 18-19, 1980, and flew to Paris to assure the Iranians
of high-level authorization.
The most adamant witness who has claimed to see Bush in Paris
is former Israeli intelligence official Ari Ben-Menashe. |

| Saddam's
'Green Light'-By Robert Parry |
During
that summer of 1980, President Carter was facing his own crisis.
His failure to free 52 American hostages held in Iran was threatening
his political survival. As he wrote in his memoirs, Keeping
Faith, "The election might also be riding on their freedom."
Equally alarming, President Carter had begun receiving reports
that the Republicans were making back-channel contacts with
Iran about the hostage crisis, as he would state in a letter
to a journalist nearly a decade later.
Though it was unclear then, this multi-sided political intrigue
would shape the history from 1980 to the present day. Iraq's
invasion of Iran in September 1980 would deteriorate into eight
years of bloody trench warfare that did little more than kill
and maim an estimated one million people. What little more the
war did was to generate billions of dollars in profits for well-connected
arms merchants -- and spawn a series of national security scandals. |

W. Bush loves baseball. And why not? After all, baseball has
been very good to the governor. When it comes to power, the
governor is a true triple-threat. Consider his record: (1) His
initial baseball investment of $600,000 carries the current
potential of a 2,500 percent return. (2) Through savvy P.R.
and political maneuvering, he and his partners have persuaded
a city and the state to directly subsidize a facility for their
business. (3) Not content with taxpayer subsidies, he and his
fellow owners have also successfully used the power of government
to take land from other private citizens so it could be used
for their own private purposes. |

| The
Legacy of Robbing elections |
| Ronald
Reagan, in 1979, sent George Bush, Richard Allen, and Donald
Greg to two meetings, one in Paris France and one in Washington
DC, to insure Carter was not re-elected. They negotiated with
Manchari Gorbanifar (Iranian arms dealer), Bani Sadr (president
of Iran and political puppet of the Kohmeni regime), Albert
Hakim (arms dealer), and Hashem (diplomat of the Iranian government).
Reagan's team promised that the US federal government would
sell over one billion US dollars in American weapons to Iran
if Iran would not release the American hostages until after
the 1980 presidential election. |

| With
the death of Ronald Reagan the world will now face a weeklong
orgy of grandiloquent of US military power and American Imperialism.
Reagan was a cold-blooded murderer, a union busting parasite,
con artist, and a good liar. I'll shed no tear for the death
of a tyrant. Nor will I stand by idly while the truth is sacrificed
in a frenzied worship of a demagogue. Reagan was evil personified,
he can rot in hell. |
