Buried Treasure

By Chris Floyd

04/29/05 "Moscow Times" - - It seemed, at first, like
nothing more than a novelty item in the news briefs, the
kind of odd, meaningless side-fact thrown off by most
major stories: "New Pope, President's Brother Had Link in
Swiss Group." But a look beneath the surface of this
innocuous connection reveals a vast web of sinister
alliances -- and moral corruption on a world-shaking
scale.

The network links a bewildering line-up of players -- the
Bushes, the Vatican, bin Laden, Saddam Hussein and
China's Communist overlords, among others --in a
staggering array of crime and turpitude: prostitution,
pedophilia, mass death and war profiteering. Yet this is
not some grand "conspiracy theory," a serpent's egg
hatched in Bilderberg or Bohemian Grove. It's simply the
way the Bush boys do business, trawling the globe for
sweetheart deals and gushers of blood money from the war
and terror they foment.

At the center of this particular nexus is the unlikely
figure of Neil Bush, the feckless, fraudulent brother of
the current president. Neilsy, as he's known in the
family, is most famous for costing American taxpayers $1
billion to bail out a savings-and-loan he had ruined with
secret insider loans to his own business partners. For
this massive fraud, he was fined -- by his father's
administration -- the princely sum of $50,000, which was
actually paid by one of his dad's political bagmen, of
course.

You see, the Bushes are robber barons, not capitalists:
They never risk any of their own money in the competition
of the marketplace. Nor do they ever pay the price when
their deals go belly-up. Just ask George W., whose first
business was jump-started with secret cash from the bin
Ladens, laundered through their U.S. frontman, James Bath
-- who was also hired by W.'s dad, then-CIA director
George Bush Sr., to set up offshore companies for
shifting CIA money and aircraft between Texas and Saudi
Arabia, the Texas Observer reported.

Neilsy's latest business ventures include a partnership
with one of China's own influence-peddling oligarchs:
Jiang Mianheng, son of former President Jiang Zemin. He's
paying Bush $2 million for "advice" in a field - the
semiconductor industry -- which Neilsy cheerfully
confesses he knows nothing about. Bush also trousered $1
million for "introductions and advice" from the CP Group,
a Bangkok conglomerate spreading bipartisan gravy around
Washington. In return for supplying his paymasters with a
golden conduit to the White House, Neilsy received a
special perk: free prostitutes, served up fresh to his
hotel room during business trips to Asia.

But between his sessions of bouncy-bouncy with trafficked
women, Neilsy was also sitting down with hard-line cleric
Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, the former soldier for Nazi
Germany now translated to glory as Pope Benedict XVI. The
two men were board members of an obscure Swiss institute
ostensibly devoted to "interfaith dialogue." Although the
organization did have some prominent ecumenical figures
on the board, none of them could say exactly why pimp-
daddy Neilsy was invited to join, Newsday reported.

Perhaps there's a clue in the group's incorporation. Dunn
& Bradstreet lists the supposedly nonprofit foundation as
a "management trust," designed for "purposes other than
education, religion, charity or research." The group's
spokesman says this designation was a "mistake," and
anyway, the institute is hastily being "re-launched" with
a "new focus" on its religious mission. But a cynic --
i.e., anyone with the slightest acquaintance of Bush
business practices -- might think that a "management
trust" masquerading as a religious charity would be an
excellent place to launder money or park assets away from
the taxman's prying eyes.

Meanwhile, Ratzinger spent his time on the Swiss board
trying to bury the Vatican's massive pedophilia scandal,
the London Observer reported this week. In a secret 2001
letter, he ordered Church officials to prevent police
from learning about abuse allegations -- a theological
innovation more commonly known in the United States as
"obstructing justice." Given this criminal high-wire act,
perhaps the good cardinal thought it prudent to cultivate
some personal ties with a presidential sibling.

Whatever Neilsy and Das Panzerkardinal were up to in
Switzerland, Ratzinger repaid their camaraderie with a
decisive intervention in brother George's 2004 election,
issuing a fatwa that essentially condemned any Catholic
voting for John Kerry to eternal hellfire. With the
Vatican's iron hand on the scales, Bush reaped an extra
six percent of the Catholic vote -- a huge boost in a
tight race.

But it's Neilsy's long-time partnership with Syrian-born
businessman Jamal Daniel that has provided the true
mother lode: war profiteering. Daniel, also a boardmate
in the Swiss adventure with Ratzinger, is a principal in
New Bridge Strategies, a firm set up by top Bush insiders
to steer corporate clients to the fountains of blood
money flowing from George W.'s conquest of Iraq. The
company makes frequent use of Neilsy's "introductions"
and Middle East connections, The Financial Times
reported. It also operates a profitable sideline in
mercenaries.

Daniel brings his own unique connections to the regional
porkfest: His family was instrumental in the creation of
the Baath Party in Syria and Iraq, The Financial Times
noted. And of course, the Bush Family's covert arm, the
CIA -- whose headquarters bears the name of George Sr. --
assisted not one, but two, Baathist coups in Iraq,
including the bloody upheaval that brought Saddam
Hussein's family faction to power, historian Roger Morris
reported. Still later, the CIA would supply Osama bin
Laden and his fellow extremists with weapons, money and
terrorist training: a shrewd investment whose long-term
consequences -- the current "war on terror" -- are still
paying fat dividends for Bush coffers.

Sure, thousands die and millions suffer from these dirty
deals -- but it's not a "conspiracy." It's just business
-- the Bush way.
