Admitting failed intelligence regarding 9/11 and the weapons of mass destruction are the least of our worries when it comes to the Bush administration. If you recall, W refused to apologize for false information that led to the Iraqi invasion periodically over the past several years. Just because a "presidential" commission made it official by criticizing the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and calling the information "dead wrong" in the 700 page April Fools Day report doesn't mean he's had a change of heart.

To get a clue about failed intelligence, one has to look beyond this administration, one has to peep into the very history of the Bush family itself, starting with George W. and his 3 brothers; Jeb, Neil, and Marvin. Space won't allow for a Bush family history generations ago, any answer as to why things are the way they are today can be found with the Children of George Sr. Various ones of them have had their hand in some form of modern-day world corruption or other. These kids have literally been all over the place, consider that the first of George H.W.'s offspring to gain national controversial attention was his 2nd youngest, Neil Mallon Bush. Neil was the principle figure in the first modern-era corporate/savings and loan scandal, Silverado Savings and Loan out of Denver. Neil was director of that financial institution and also a 3rd partner of an oil exploration company that borrowed over $100 million from Silverado. The oil company folded and the loan was never repaid, Neil was only fined $50,000 for "ethical lapses." More failed intelligence and ethical lapses would eventually follow.

Beneath the major publicity of Silverado was other alleged questionable Bush activity during the mid-'80's that some websites are bringing out, news that would have pushed Marion Barry's crack smoking footage into black/white mondo-video oblivion. As in the case of Neil, this took place during the time when George H.W. Bush was Vice President, and George W. was Governor of Texas. It was during then when he and his brother Jeb were "caught on videotape picking up kilos of cocaine at a Florida airport," according to a 10/99 story by Daniel Hopsicker, and Michael Ruppert. Of course this is not the beginning, reportedly the plane belonged to an infamous drug smuggler named Barry Seal, an '82 Beechcraft King Air 200, FAA registration no. N6308F, serial no. BB-1014, essentially a loaded version of a fleet of drug-smuggling planes controlled by Seal-who ironically was the same man who set up the video footage as part of an attempted DEA sting ! gone wrong.

The very existence of the N6308F has it's beginnings with the "Great Communicator" Ronald Reagan, and the Iran-Contra operations, but to make a very long story short, there would be no communication between the Bush brothers and any jail trustees, the whole incident was snuffed (pun intended). Author Terry Reed alleges that the boys arrived to pick up two kilos of the powder for a party. I take it George and Jeb felt it their patriotic duty to sample coke before it hit the streets, Seal bragged about the video and evidently paid for it with his life. According to Hopsicker & Ruppert, after 4 years of being the point man in an operation to funnel drugs into the US for arms, he was killed by a hit team, who disclosed to their attorneys during trial that they were operating under the direction of Lt. Colonel Oliver North, then with the National Security Council. Most of this came out during Bush's 2000 presidential campaign, but of course not much was made of it.

Prior to becoming Governor of Florida ('98), Jeb became a partner to real estate developer and Bush family friend Armando Cordina. Forty percent of the company profits went to him (Jeb invested nothing). Marvin Pierce Bush; the least known and possibly the most suspect of the brothers (Dorothy, the baby sister is married to Robert Koch of Koch Petroleum, a company noted for it's large donations to the GOP, as well as cooking the books on cancer causing chemical levels, leaks and spills during the '90's. Investigative journalist Greg Palast calls Koch "the biggest company you've never heard of... bigger than Microsoft or Boeing Aircraft.") also got rich through business associations with Bush family friends and fundraisers. His last most notable position is as director of Securacom (now Stratesec) from '93-2000, a secretive electronic security company out of Virginia that had contracts with Los Alamos National Laboratories, Dulles International Airport near DC, United Airlines, and the World Trade Center.

If you're wondering if this is going to lead to a WTC-9/11 connection, then you're almost right, except some feel issues with Marvin go deeper than just that. There was a loss of life in Marvin's Alexandria VA home that the major media chose to bury further down than the actual victims of those plane hijackings. On 10/10/03 the "From The Wilderness" website disclosed a story about a woman who was crushed to death by her own vehicle while it was on a driveway. The odd part is, the incident took place on 9/29, the Washington Post broke the story on the 5th. Reportedly Marvin's live-in babysitter, 62-year-old Bertha Champagne went out "to retrieve something from her car" which police say had somehow been left in gear. According to the police report, the car rolled forward and pinned the woman between it and a small building next to the driveway." The car was said to have continued until it reached a busy two lane street until it came to a stop at a wooded area yards away. No other media was said to have covered the story at the time except the Post's Metro section on page 3. The skinny on that story is the police ruled it an accident, without questioning as to why the vehicle didn't roll forward until Ms. Champagne was in front of it, or how the car came to roll that far, when that driveway is considered to be only on a slight angle.

It's not the first time authorities refused to investigate Marv, the left began raising questions about him especially since 9/11, Stratesec still had contracts with the Twin Towers, and Dulles, conspiracy buffs have questioned the official version of both planes' impact and weight being enough to collapse the towers (which by the way, is a logical enough explanation for me), to inferring that building security was somehow relaxed long enough for someone to install explosives prior to 9/11/01. It is a matter of record however, that Flight 77 took off from Dulles, so there was definately a security breach in the mix. By the way, Sterling VA's Stratesec has Iraqi connections, it's financially backed by several Kuwaitis through a company called KuwAm (Kuwaiti-American Corp.), is top-heavy with former Reagan cronies, and- according to a story written by Margie Burns-the COB of Stratesec is Wirt D. Walker III, Marvin's cousin. While I don't ! know about Marvin's driveway, it's apparent there is no neutral ground with H.W.'s boys.
