The book Unfortunate Son was stopped by Poppy Bush. |
|
They are bitching about free press when daddy Bush had the first printing of Unfortunate Son by J.H.Hatfield burned. They did not give a shit about freedom of speech then.

14. They added a lot of extras that weren't in the original |

including a history of the publication, as well as some trenchant articles on the Bush family ties.

Except the mafia wouldn't be able to stop the book printing. THAT is how dangerous the BFEE is. Beyond organized crime.
