[font size=5]Straight from Bushs mouth[/font]
By CINDY ADAMS
George Bush the elder, not Dubya is heading for immortality. Executive producer Jerry Weintraub, who brought us Oceans 11, 12, 13 and maybe someday 14, 15 and 16, on how HBOs coming documentary on former President George Herbert Walker Bush came about.
Its on right around the historic D-Day week of June 6. A birthday celebration, its June 14. The 8th is Barbaras 87th birthday, and his 88th is the 12th. The documentary is called 41. ....
The two hours will be all in President Bushs words. First time ever hes talked about himself. Nothing political. No philosophizing. All about his childhood, father, mother, sisters, children, service to the country. Plus never-before-seen private home movies. We shot lots of photos and personal footage. The whole thing took 2 1/2 years.
Bios dont usually do something. This will. Itll tell who he was, what formed him. Its lots about the young Bush. ....

(36,418 posts)The tie-in with the '34 "bankers plot" against Roosevelt was through Remington Arms and the Walker-Pryor side of the family. See Kevin Phillips eye-opening expose of that chapter in the rise to power by this most notorious group of American fascists: http://coat.ncf.ca/our_magazine/links/54/54_12-13.pdf
Most people have missed the link to the Banker's Plot because they've focused on Prescott Bush, who was involved more directly through Brown Bros Harriman and its client Fritz Thyssen with funding the rise of the German Nazi Party. If anything, uncle Herbert and the Walkers, were even more Right-wing.

(548 posts)And, no, there was explicitly no mention of where 41 was during the rubout of JFK. It goes from death of daughter Robin in 1953, then skips to a clip of 41 bashing the 'New Frontier' in an ad where he was running against Ralph Yarborough, the 'flaming liberal'. No mention of anything relating to JFK, that would totally distort the hagiography. It is such a blatant attempt to rehabilitate the image of the Bush family, so transparent! I want to know more who authorized and funded this shit at HBO and why it was shown on CNN. These fuckers are gonna try to steal this election and then try to get Jeb installed in 2016, I can feel it! The ruling class is well aware that we are now firmly ensconced in the age of peak oil driven austerity and are gonna do everything required to make sure they retain their privileged existence at the expense of middle class and working folks.
