68 It is for the Japanese what the penis is for the black man. The thing that they have that is reputed to be larger than the whites’, more potent, more irresistible—the thing about his race of which the white man is most afraid and with which he will sexually enslave the women of the white race.

69 If anyone wants to be reminded of the details, they are: 1983, Neil Bush (son of G.B.) goes into the oil business. Neil puts up $100. His two partners put up $160,000. 1985, Neil becomes a paid director of Silverado, which loans his partners $132,000,000. 1987, one of his partners “forgives” a $100,000 loan to Neil. 1988, the developers default, Silverado fails. FDIC bailout cost about $1,000,000,000. (Sources—Time, Spy)

70 There is no evidence whatsoever that the president or the secretary of state-intervened with Justice on behalf of Neil Bush.

71 I have never in my writing life had a character “quip.” I cringe at “he quippeds.” However, it seems to me that Bush is a person who does exactly that, so here it is, this one’s for the quipper.

72 The various “intelligence” agencies of the United States have always used, owned, created, financed, controlled, associated with, external organizations. In the post-Watergate years a lot of information about the CIA, in particular, came out. Illegal and incompetent and wasteful and silly activities were revealed. The CIA was placed under a variety of new restrictions and “cleaned house.” The recent history of Iran-contra demonstrates that alternative formats, a little further removed from congressional scrutiny, were immediately developed. That those efforts were discovered and Ollie North appears to have been so incompetent doesn’t mean all such alternatives have been revealed or that all are so bumbling and ineffective. Remember, this is the administration that believes in privatization. Wackenhut does security for U.S. embassies; Universal Security has a variety of government contracts, including urine analysis and drug screening of employees of the Departments of Agriculture and of Transportation.

Gates was not at the CIA at this time, he was at the NSC. After these events, in 1991, Bush would nominate Gates, once again, as director of the CIA.
