PHONY TO THE CORE
Why would Bush preplan his ESTATE prior to 2000 if he didn`t know he was going to win ? I`m sure if he wasn`t going to be president, he wouldn`t have moved to Crawford Texas wtf...

PHONY TO THE CORE: The "Ole Family Ranch" in Crawford is a Set Completed the Same Day the Election was Stolen
By Cheryl Seal

Have you seen all those article and pictures of Bush "at home on the ranch" in Crawford - the ones that imply that he is "just an ole ranch hand" more comfortable on the family homestead than in the "Big City," be it Austin or D.C.? Well, if you bought this image, you've been royally snuckered. The Bush family homestead in Crawford is nothing more than an elaborate set. The house, built in 2000, was designed to be ready for Bush to step into - like a set awaiting an actor - during the 2000 presidential election. Not only was the "ranch" created in 2000 - so, essentially, was the "town" of Crawford! Before then only about 400 people lived in the area. The Crawford Chamber of Commerce and Agriculture were formed shortly after the ranch was finished.

The 1,600 acres on which the "ranch" sits was purchased in 1999 for an undisclosed price, but it was a helluva lot less than the current real estate agents' appraisal of $1.2 million. Yep, worth $1.2 million, but G.W. has a sweet deal at the tax appraiser's office, where the property is valued at about $988,000. Oh, and that "homey ole ranch house?" It's actually a 10,000-square-foot single level mansion/compound that won't even be 2 years old until this November! The compound features a swimming pool for daughters Jenna and Barbara, who apparently loudly demanded it - the Bushes call it the girls' "Whining pool." Btw - we hear Bush got a sweet deal on the house construction, (the cost, of course remains undisclosed): the builders came from a religious community in El Mott, Texas. The original completion date of the house was November 7 - election day 2000. In other words, the curtain went up on the set on schedule for "show time." The very timing of this event indicates that Bush was absolutely confident that the election would be successfully engineered in his favor.

The whole idea behind the ranch set, of course, was so that the public could be treated to footage of Bush seeking a quiet "retreat" at the family ranch. Americans would thus assume that the ranch was a rooted family homestead or compound like the one Kennedy's had in Martha's Vineyard or FDR had at Campobello. But when Bush retreated into his "homestead" in November, 2000, he was merely walking onto a prepared set upon which the paint had barely dried, let alone even the barest of roots put down! When we see photos of Bush bombing around the ranch in his leather jacket in his "ole pickup," supposedly knowing every tree and bush - it's all pure fantasy! If Bush knows every tree and bush after actually spending, all told, a total of about 2 months on the ranch (if you put the odd days end to end) since it was bought, then I''d like to know when he found time to hold all those endless Crawford press conferences! Seems to me he'd be way too busy introducing himself to trees and bushes.

3. LOL So the rectangular box seen under his tee shirt in that pickup truck
photo is probably a homing device so he can find his way back to the place he is not used to after a hard day of brush bustin?

7. More than a 'set'. It is used for secret meetings away from the press

and public. It's more like a gang hideaway than a private residence.
And though there are much more beautiful properties to be had in Central Texas (say, for instance, in the Hill Country), I imagine all the elevation of those hills might present a problem of prying eyes. So it's as flat as flat can be, with plenty of acreage around it. And it's pretty much off the grid, with all the latest in 'green building' technologies.

Impenetrable. As always, hiding in plain sight.

10. someone posted these pics the other day.......
Edited on Sun Aug-14-05 04:55 PM by Dover
I can understand the lack of recent pictures for security reasons. But that's not the point. They are clearly using it for more than a residence.

12. Probably a big medical compound there, too, to "restore" his health.
I've always suspected something mighty strange about him going to the Imperial Pig Farm so often. It's, like, is there nowhere else in the world he wants to visit?

13. ......AND fake vote. Clearly they were strongly anticipating a win.
In fact that confidence continues as does the voting fraud. What are the odds?
