In high school, working as a body prep kid, I learned Rust Never Sleeps
If you don't get it all off the metal, it will come back. This scandal has been bubbling under the surface for quite some time. Shortly after WWII a banker doing business with nazis is elected to the Senate.

    The Protege connection:
    • Prescott Bush
      • Nixon

      • Poppy Bush - Note Goss was an operative in the Cuba ops that we can be fairly sure were headed up by the old man. Also note he was one of tricky Dick's go to guys.

      • Rumsfeld - Cheney was Rummie's protege




Ok, now Rust never sleeps. Poppy, Rummie and Cheney should have been taken out in the Watergate cleanup, but were missed. When Ford came in to slap some duct tape over it and shoot it with primer, he tapped Rummie as Chief of Staff and Poppy for the CIA. By this time I think we can assume fairly easily that if there was dirt on anyone to be had Poppy probably had it.

Now Poppy and Goss go way back to '58 or so working on the Cuban problem. There's a few shady guys that pop up later during Iran-Contra which demonstrate Goss has always been a hatchet man, and was sent into the heart of the CIA to exorcise the patriotic demons that believe in the constitution. The ones who know right from wrong.

Is what we are seeing now the first pinpricks of the rust bubble surfacing? Or, is it simply Mission Accomplished? I think the former given the quick nature of the resignation. Attendees at a Pentagon meeting didn't know he would be absent. Did a patriot catch him by the short and curlies? I hope so.

Oh, and Larissa is right it keeps going back through Iran since Poppy got the reigns.

3. Also, in car-lingo, rust is known as "cancer".
The damage done by this cabal is systemic and horrifically far-reaching.

7. Absolutely
I had a '64 chevy that was so cancerous I hit an expansion joint on a bridge one day and the rear bumper fell off. Mechanically, it ran perfectly.

This photograph was taken in a nightclub in Mexico City on 22nd January, 1963. It is believed that the men in the photograph are all members of Operation 40. Closest to the camera on the left is Felix Rodriguez. Next to him is Porter Goss and Barry Seal. Tosh Plumlee is attempting to hide his face with his coat. Others in the picture are Alberto 'Loco' Blanco (3rd right) and Jorgo Robreno (4th right).

11. The Kennedy-Nixon-Bush connection
According to a biography of Richard Nixon, his close personal and political ties with the Bush family go back to 1941 when Nixon claims he read an ad in an L A. newspaper, placed by a wealthy group of businessmen, led by Preston Bush, the father of George Bush. They wanted a young, malleable candidate to run for Congress. Nixon applied for the position and won the job. Nixon became a mouthpiece for the Bush group. (Source: Freedom Magazine, 1986, L.F. Prouty).

In fact, Preston Bush is credited with creating the winning ticket of Eisenhower-Nixon in 1952.(Source: George Bush, F. Green, Hipocrene, 1988).

14. Dang dude,
How do you remember these tidbits? I'm in awe. I dug up the stuff for the OP by googling after I saw the operation 40 thread. I found reference to Nixon being Prescot's protege, but not that Prescot was a ticket builder.

16. I didn't remember it, just lucked onto the link. I've been thinking about
The Bay of Pigs-JFK Assassination-CIA-Bush-Nixon-Watergate-Ford morass quite seriously since watching Alex Jone's video on JFK Assassination and reading (some of) Lamar Waldron & Thom Hartmann's book on JFK.

Gore Vidal got it right: We began to lose our Democracy when we let them lie to us about the JFK Assassination.

People in on the JFK Assassination (Hunt, Sturgis, others) were also in on the Watergate break-ins. JFK Assassination & Bush

If anyone still believes the Warren Commission (Specter-Ford-Dulles) lies about a single shooter and a single bullet killing JFK watch this quick film - it is the Zapruder film - the images have been stabilized so that you don't have the shaky hand camera effect. Warning: This video is graphic.

Here is a video of Jame Files confessing to being one of two shooters on the grassy knoll: <http://jfkmurdersolved.com/film/Film.mov>

Sorry if I am taking your thread off track from Bush-Nixon-Watergate -- but I am headed right toward MIHOP on the JFK Assassination.

23. You're not really taking the thread a new direction...
It all seems to come together and center around the BFEE.

The real question is for whom do they work?

26. I think they work for themselves. The world revolves around them,
doesn't it? :shrug:

Well, them and the other 100 wealthiest families in the US oligarchy. :eyes:

18. Source gives incorrect first name for Poppy's pop...not "Preston"
His actual first name is "Prescott," for all you Googlers out there.

13. The whole cabal should have been taken out
after the Kennedy assassination, but the Warren Report coverup kept 'em going so they could commit Watergate, Nicaragua, Iran Contra, the Iraq Wars, and all kinds of fun stuff.

19. How to you get all the rust off?
Edited on Sat May-06-06 04:10 PM by linazelle
I'm serious. If you are doing auto body work, do you have to cut the rust out, or can you file/sand it off and then treat it. What do you treat it with?

Just curious.

As for the analogy, I agree completely. I've said before that even if we win in '06 and '08 they will not go away. They will continue to undermine and plot and reappear in an even worse form in the future. We need an antidote.

29. Well,
You can obviously cut it out, which is probably best if you have a hole to repair, otherwise you can grind and sand it out but that thins the metal also.

There are some high tech chemical converters but all of them that I'm aware of are carcinogenic.

Haven't done body work in ages, I'm sure we have more qualified than I to answer this.
