I just LOVE this bit about Jupiter Island!!!
<snip>
Early in 1991, a newspaper reporter asked a friend of the Bush family about
security arrangements on Jupiter Island. He responded, "If you called up
the White House, would they tell you h ow many security people they had?
It's not that Jupiter Island is the White House, although he
does come down frequently."
But for several decades before Bush was President, Jupiter Island had an ord
inance requiring the registration and fingerprinting of all housekeepers,
gardeners, and other non-residents working on the island. The Jupiter
Island police department says that there are sensors in the two main roads
that can track every automobile on the island. If a car stops in the
street, the police will be there within one or two minutes. Surveillance is
a duty of all employees of the Town of Jupiter Island. News reporters are
to be prevented from visiting the island. Note #3
To create this astonishing private club, Joseph and Permelia Pryor Reed
sold land only to those who would fit in. Permelia Reed was still the
grande dame of the island when George Bush was inaugurated President in
1989. In recognition of the fact that the Reeds know where "all" the bodies
are buried, President Bush appointed Permelia's son, Joseph V. Reed, Jr.,
chief of protocol for the U.S. State Dept., in charge of private
arrangements with foreign dignitaries.
Averell Harriman made Jupiter Island a staging ground for his 1940s
takeover of the U.S. national security apparatus. It was in that connection
that the island became possibly the most secretive private place in
America.
