Just finished reading a Spotlight story By Uri Dowbenko alleging that a certin LA police dept. whistleblower a Michael C. Ruppert states that the DEA has a video of George W. and Jed Bush flying into Tamiami airport outside of Miami Fla., to pick up a couple of kilo's of cocaine powder for a party. Flying in aboard their Papa's King Airline plane. this Story is told in "Compromised" Clinton,Bush and the CIA. by John Cummings. Can this story be true? I can't believe the Governor of Texas ,who has sent many small time druggies away for many years would or could have such a checkered background! I can't imagine the Republican frontrunner could have been such a party animal? does anyone have any information? Is there a double standard here? Does it mean that the rich party while the poor languish in prison for small amounts. If these allegations are true I'm going to burn my party card and vote reform! Have we really been prisioners of gangster political dynasties or is this more political mudslinging? DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY INFORMATION? Is there any truth in this story? see www.spotlight.org

Look him up when he comes out of his shelter in 2001. Until then, who cares?

George Bush Sr. is considered the Godfather of the cocaine trade. Why should this story about his sons supprise you.

Bush bugs me. A man with a past like that is a man who can be blackmailed. Furthermore, he has huge ties to the oil industry, which I believe to be subsidizing brutal, wife-beating savages like the Saudis so we can pump cheap gas. His father's ties to the shadowy black budget nat. security tentacles doesn't sit well either.

But none of this likely matters, because the Republican/Conservative/ Anti-Establisment/Libertarian voters will be split between Republicans and serveral third parties. By default, the Democrats (Bradley) will win by plurality. That is, if there is any election at all in 2000.

Concerned American: Check out Orlin Grabbe's home page at www.aci.net/kalliste/ then scroll down to the "Tatum Chronicles"

Read Grabbe's bio before dismissing him.

Yep indeedy! Good ole Daddy Bush always raised the hair on the back of my neck,... and so do the lovely chips off the old block. Here's the Spotlight link to the story:

Bush Boys

-- Donna (moment@pacbell.net), September 18, 1999.

Has everyone forgotten that Bush the Senior was the Spook-in-Chief? Head of Christians In Action? The same CIA who brought you Ollie North, El Salvadoran Death Squads and the omnipresent War On Drugs!!!

C'mon down the George...Take a bow!!!

-- Billy-Boy (Rakkasn@Yahoo.com), September 18, 1999.

Donna - that link took me to a story about Bush money, but apparently not the one about Bush brothers cocaine. I didn't see a link for it. Can anyone help?

-- Linda (lwmb@psln.com), September 18, 1999.

No, that's the link...I just opened it up again...read on down a bit...

We want something altogether New and Improved. The New part will come soon. Improved remains to be seen.

The worst Republican is better then the best Democrat. I don't care what Bush has done. I will do anything to help keep the Dem's out of office. This has been the most corrupt administration in history and it will only get worse if the Dem's stay in.

It is my belief that there will be no election in 2000. Bill will announce that the voter registration computers are not Y2K compliant and we will have to wait till they get fixed. Of course, they never will be.

Beware of any leader who waffles about what he believes. That leader is either trying to deceive you, or he has so little conviction he'll go to the highest bidder. Who needs those kinds of leaders? But we've got some, and why is that?

This is government by the people and of the people... The trouble is, too many of the people can be bought or are otherwise themselves corrupt, by which I mean that too many are willing to compromise their own beliefs to win an election. I have some family members who really disappointed me about 8 years back, or so, because they voted for less than the best candidate (according to their own beliefs), because they thought the lesser candidate had a better chance of winning. So they deserved the person they got, didn't they?

The end doesn't justify the means. Better to lose than to give up your principles. In this country, leaders are supposed to be elected because "who they are" and "what they believe" matches "what the people want." Deception is out of line, and inexcusable.

For too many years there has been a real disconnect between the judical system and popular culture with regard to illegal drugs.One thing I learned from a sociology course,no law can be effective if the majority of a society are not willing to obey it. I wish we could go back to the ways things were before 1914 ( I believe that is the correct year),before then no one gave a flip if you used drugs.I have never used illegal drugs but one thing I know, a real dopehead can get high off of anything (nutmeg,gasoline,glade,airplane glue,etc).

-- Stanley Lucas (StanleyLucas@WebTv.net), September 19, 1999.

I don't believe that George W. Bush is a drug user.

Those of you who prefer speculation and rumor above what is known to be true are an embarassment.
