I had no clue about the history of the Bush family

[GusFring]

Mainly Poppy Bush.

And Obama called him a sweet man. He's a criminal.

1. Do you know what "BFEE" means? n/t

[GusFring]

2. no, what?

[dballance]

3. Bush Family Evil Empire

[Angry Dragon]

4. The story goes back further than that

It at least starts with Prescott Bush the father

Banker of Nazis

Tried to overthrow the government back in 1932

Bad blood throughout the family

[hifiguy]

19. Members of what we now know as the BFEE

were engaged in war profiteering back in the 1860s. The rottenness of that family runs very deep indeed.

[Angry Dragon]

20. tainted blood??

[jwirr]

23. Where can I read about this. Link? Not being snarky - just want to read about it.

[hifiguy]

24. In Kitty Kelley's "The Family" and, IIRC

Kevin Phillips' "American Dynasty."

[jwirr]

25. Thank you.

[librechik]

32. The Bush family is alos realted to a famous Viking plunderer back in the day

true story--they've always been rich and bloodthirsty.

5. And the Hinkley's are Bush family friends

Pappy Bush was dining with a Hinkley when John Hinkley tried to assassinate Raygun

[Graybeard]

6. Mike Malloy has a name for them.

Malloy always refers to The Bush Crime Family.

Prescott Bush was worse than just a criminal. He was part of a failed coup attempt against FDR. The plot failed in large part because General Smedley Butler refused to go along with it.

[Initech]

8. They're all crooks.

Although sometimes I wonder if that "business plot" actually succeeded or not - especially when you look at the fact that our government now basically serves the needs of the uber rich and not of the people.

But Prescott Bush didn't need a coup - he just needed a five - four Supreme Court decision called Citizens United to establish corporations as people.

[Thinkingabout]

7. The Bush family was backed by bin Laden financially also.

Osama bin Laden half brother was killed in a plane crash in West Texas. After 9/11 w arranged for the bin Laden family to leave the USA when no domestic flights was flying. W runs and holds hands with the saudi and people wants to call President an Arab. King George w had lots of ties to the middle east.

9. November 22, 2012 will be the 50th anniversary of the Kennedy assassination.

I'm hoping for a massive data release. Too much to hope for?

Maybe.

[Tx4obama]

10. Huh? JFK died November 22, 1963. So, wouldn't it be Nov 22, 2013? nt

[jberryhill]

12. They only WANT you to think it was 1963

That's how good they are.

[JDPriestly]

22. Right. I have thought about the anniversary coming up many times.

Typed (and momentarily thought) the wrong year. So sorry. You are right.

[alittlelark]

11. Researching the BFEE will make your head spin.

It can also lead to being called a 'conspiracy nut'.

Be careful.

[dwilso40641]

13. See Family of Secrets

By Russ Baker.

[Lugnut]

14. Yep.

It's horrifying to connect the dots and see what they reveal. It sent chills up my spine.

"The Family" by Kitty Kelley was also very good. Nobody in the BFFE has sued Kelley which is very telling to me. These are not nice people.

[Graybeard]

15. Great book by Russ Baker

Here's another rec for Family Of Secrets. It's all in there.

[librechik]

33. I highly recommend this book by a real journalist who knows his subject

Every assertion is footnoted--real ones, not like Coulter

[RevStPatrick]

16. Here you go...

Have fun with this one:

[RZM]

28. Webster Tarpley, huh?

[RevStPatrick]

30. Yeah, I know...

Still, there's some great info in there.
Plenty of stuff consolidated that I've seen in dribs and drabs in other places.
And, it's no worse than what the OP offers...

[UTUSN]

17. R#18 & K, without reading link because I know just enough to despise them already n/t

[Mc Mike]

18. Poppy 41's dad Prescott laundered money for the nazis, while we were at war with them.

GHW was tight with Noriega and the Medellin Cartel, while running the Reagan Admin's Anti Drug and Anti Terror programs. Son Neil 'lost' a billion dollars in the S&L scandal. GHW's sister hit 3 cops with her car, Inauguration Day '89. Son Marvin was on the board of directors of the security firm that had the contract for United Airlines, Dulles Airport, and the WTCs., until 9-11. Brother Prescott got caught lobbying for the Yakuza, and refused to return the money to the mob front companies. Daughter in law Laura hit and killed her ex-boyfriend with a car. Brother Jonathan worked out of the Watergate complex for Riggs Bank, where the 'Saudi money trail' account of Princess Al-Faisal was. Son Jeb pals around with Batista Cuban drug runners and terrorists. Wife kicked her co-author Millie, in front of Sam Donaldson and the press.

etc., etc., Oil, Banking, drugs, and intel, with a nazi bent. The cowboy part of Carl Oglesby's Yankee-Cowboy war.

The family is truly a national treasure.
