MOB RULE

The mob rule in Miami EXPRESSED IN THE STORMING OF the Miami-Dade election canvassing board on the 37th anniversary of the assassination of John F. Kennedy, November 22nd, 2000, was not the first such incident in Bush Family History.

In 1950 Prescott Bush, father of Former President Bush, bussed caravan after caravan of McCarthyites into Connecticut in his unsuccessful US Senate run against Senator William Benton.

Prescott Bush's name was actually on a list submitted to Nixon by Eisenhower as a possible Nixon running-mate in 1960. Fortunately Nixon wisely chose another running mate. Prescott Bush's son, George Herbert Walker Bush, was on yet another list submitted to Nixon , this time by Strom Thurmond, to be Nixon's running mate in 1968. Nixon again chose a different running mate instead.

The only prominent Republican to boycott Nixon's inauguration in 1969 was George Herbert Walker Bush, who instead saw his old friend Lyndon Johnson off at the airport. When Agnew was forced to resign as Nixon's vice president Nixon was unable to get John Connally, former Democratic Governor of Texas, shot in the same car as JFK on November 22nd, 1963, approved as his Vice President and settled instead on former Warren Commission member Gerald Ford.

Nixon was told by George Herbert Walker Bush at his last cabinet meeting: "Mr. President, you HAVE TO resign." Nixon had notably failed to name George Herbert Walker Bush as his Vice President when Agnew was forced to resign.

In 1964 George Herbert Walker Bush had run for US Senate in Texas against Ralph Yarborough, the liberal Democratic US Senator whose intra-party feud with then Democratic Governor John Connally had brought JFK to Texas in the first place in an effort to heal the Yarborough-Connally feud.

The two men hated each other so much neither would ride in the same car with the other. Thus Connally rode with JFK in the Dallas motorcade and Yarborough rode with LBJ. Had Connally died as a result of his wounds speculation would have centered on Bush's rival Yarborough as the person responsible for the shootings.

George Herbert Walker Bush actually called the FBI, not the Secret Service, to report that a friend of his was planning to shoot JFK in Houston, not Dallas, later that week.

Bush's call to the FBI was TWO HOURS BEFORE JFK WAS SHOT. "JOE MCCARTHY CAME INTO CONNECTICUT THREE TIMES THAT YEAR (1950) TO CAMPAIGN FOR BUSH AND AGAINST THE DEMOCRATS. BUSH HIMSELF MADE CHARGES OF " KOREA, COMMUNISM AND CORRUPTION " INTO A SLICK CAMPAIGN PHRASE AGAINST BENTON, WHICH THEN TURNED UP AS A NATIONAL REPUBLICAN SLOGAN. THE RESPONSE WAS DISAPPOINTING. ONLY SMALL CROWDS TURNED OUT TO HEAR JOE MCCARTHY, AND BENTON WAS NOT HURT.

MCCARTHY'S PRO-BUSH RALLY IN NEW HAVEN, IN A HALL THAT SEATED 6,000, DREW ONLY 376 PEOPLE. BENTON JOKED ON THE RADIO THAT " 200 OF THEM WERE MY SPIES. "

Prescott Bush resigned from the Yale Board of Fellows for his campaign, and the board published a statement to the effect that the " Yale vote " should support Bush-despite the fact that William Benton was a Yale man, and in many ways identical in outlook to Bush. Yale's Whiffenpoof singers appeared regularly for Prescott's campaign. None of this was particularly effective, however, with the voting populationThen Prescott Bush ran into a completely unexpected problem.

At that time, the old Harriman eugenics movement was centered at Yale University. Prescott Bush was a Yale trustee, and his former Brown Brothers Harriman partner, Lawrence Tighe, was Yale's treasurer. In that connection, a slight glimmer of the truth about the Bush-Harriman firm's Nazi activities now made its way into the campaign.

Not only was the American Eugenics Society itself headquartered at Yale, but all parts of this undead fascist movement had a busy home at Yale.

The coercive psychiatry and sterilization advocates had made the Yale/New Haven Hospital and Yale Medical School their laboratories for hands-on practice in brain surgery and psychological experimentation.

And the Birth Control League was there, which had long trumpeted the need for eugenical births-fewer births for parents with " inferior " bloodlines. Prescott's partner Tighe was a Connecticut director of the league, and the Connecticut league's medical advisor was eugenics advocate Dr. Winternitz of Yale Medical School.Now in 1950, people who knew something about Prescott Bush knew that he had very unsavory roots in the eugenics movement. There were then, just after the anti-Hitler war, few open advocates of sterilization of " unfit " or " unnecessary " people. (That would be revived later, with the help of General Draper and his friend George Bush.) But the Birth ControlLeague was public-just about then it was changing its name to the euphemistic " Planned Parenthood.

"Then, very late in the 1950 senatorial campaign, Prescott Bush was publicly exposed for being an activist in that section of the old fascist eugenics movement.

Prescott Bush lost the election by about 1,000 out of 862,000 votes. He and his family blamed the defeat on the expose .The defeat was burned into the family's memory, leaving a bitterness and perhaps a desire for revenge.

In his foreword to a population control propaganda book, George Bush wrote about that 1950 election: " My own first awareness of birth control as a public policy issue came with a jolt in 1950 when my father was running for United States Senate in Connecticut. Drew Pearson, on the Sunday before Election day, 'revealed' that my father was involved with Planned Parenthood....

Many political observers felt a sufficient number of voters were swayed by his alleged contacts with the birth controllers to cost him the election.... Prescott Bush was defeated, while the other Republican candidates fared well in Connecticut.

Shut up you stupid bitch!

Rough translation:

The facts and opinions Cherri reproduces here upset me. It doesn't matter if they are true or not. I am holding my hands over my ears and squinting my eyes tight shut. I am going to count to three before I open them. If you keep upseting me this way I will hold my breath and throw a tantrum. I cannot tolerate unpleasantness. I blame Cherri for the existance of this unpleasantness. I could scream.

The more she speaks, the more she revels her stupidity.

Truth, while many on this board certainly revel in Cherri's alleged stupidity, I think the word you are looking for is "reveals."

Just trying to help.

The history of Planned Parenthood [although presented as a liberal/feminist organization from the beginning] depicts Margaret Sanger, presumed founder of the organization, as someone who believed in eugenics also.

-- Anita (Anita_S3@hotmail.com), June 09, 2001.


Eugenics had its advocates among many of the "enlightened" types early in this century. Margeret Sanger and Yale intellectools shared Hitler's values for a time, albeit a different time.

All this proves to me is that what is considered to be today's scientific "truth" may become tomorrow's pariah thought. Be careful.
