Treasure trove of dirt on the Bushes

The George Bush in the title is Bush 41, not Bush 43. You find binLaden and George W. Bush (43) each mentioned twice in the 400 page book. Interestingly the mentions are all within two pages of each other, and concern a national guard buddy of W getting a contract to manage the financial affairs of one of the bin Ladens, back in the late 60s or early 70s. So there is a good chance W and Osama ore old friends! The book chronicles a lot of shady stuff the family has been mixed up in for a long time. It's not an easy read but it is like looking at source data and you can make up your own mind. At the time this book was written, the idea that W would ever be in important government position was not on anybody's mind.

No Surprises Here

Where to begin? As I tallied up all of the mind-boggling abuses of power, criminal activity and greed I became filled with a deep sense of dread. I came to the realization that if only 1% of this book is true then this is a president (a family) that should be behind bars for a very long time. And we are all in some very serious trouble - unless you're Kenny-boy Lay. Dubya's stolen election, lies to start a war and the rampant cronyism plaguing our government today give all the more credence to this awesome work and further demonstrate just how desperately ruthless and vicious the Bush family is. For those of you who dismiss this tome as fiction - there's a reason the first few publishers wouldn't touch it. Here we go again - this time it's global!

And you thought Clinton was bad!!

In comparison to George Bush (not Dubya) Clinton looks like a choir boy!! Everybody should read this book. Pete Brewton outdid himself! Extremely informative and well researched.

A Very Important Book

This is one of the two most important books published in this country this century. The other is "Dark Alliance" by Gary Webb. Brewton is a journalist par excellence. He makes the goose-steppers at the New York Times, LA Times and Washington Post look like the complacent wimps they really are. Yes, Virginia, the S & L "crisis" was a $160 billion ripoff by the mob, the CIA and George Bush and Sons. Read it and weep, America!

Are you ready to lose your political innocence?

A real eye-opener! Unless you have some familiarity with the people and events detailed by Mr. Brewton, you will probably find all of his assertions nearly impossible to believe. I would have myself, except that I have been able to confirm several of the details with people directly involved with some of the principals in this book. Of the things I was able to check out, I have not found anything contrary to what Mr. Brewton says.
