George W. Bush: Fortunate Son a/k/a AWOL Cokehead
by URI DOWBENKO

CLICK FULL STORY:

When will the skeletons in George Bush's closet finally come tumbling out? Bush Junior's record of going AWOL (deserting) during his National Guard stint is finally being aired -- but not his adventures in the cocaine trade.

Before the 2000 election, Mike Ruppert (www.copvcia.com) reported that the DEA had in its possession a video of George W. Bush and Jeb Bush flying in to Tamiami Airport outside of Miami, Florida "to pick up a couple of kilos of powder for a party."

Ruppert heard about it from Terry Reed, author of "Compromised: Clinton, Bush and the CIA" (1994). "I was with Terry recently at a public speaking engagement where he reminded the audience of a little passage from his book 'Compromised,'" wrote Ruppert in his newsletter "From the Wilderness." "In that passage he describes how Barry Seal had told him that he had 'insurance' in the form of proof that the Bush Boys were doing heavy drugs."

According to Reed, "the FBI had inserted a female undercover agent into the inner circle of Medellin Cartel founder Pablo Escobar.

Her name was Darlene Novinger [now deceased] and she got very close to an Escobar cousin named Steve Plata."

"Thanks to the 'uc', as undercovers are called, Barry Seal and Terry Reed were sent on a drug sting to meet some wealthy Texans," wrote Ruppert. "It turns out that the wealthy Texans were George W. and Jeb Bush who flew in on the family owned King Air to pick up the cocaine themselves. Hidden DEA cameras filmed the whole incident, including the tail number of the aircraft and both Bushes participation. According to Reed, nobody knew in advance who the buyers were. Reed states that he has both the tail number of the aircraft and the DEA case file number and he strongly suspects that tape to turn up during the 2000 presidential election." Nobody was surprised when it never did.

GETTING THE DOPE ON BUSH

Former CIA operative Terry Reed had worked closely with the late Barry Seal, a notorious drug smuggling pilot who also worked for the CIA. In his book "Compromised," written with veteran journalist John Cummings, Reed describes a conversation he had with Seal about his "insurance," i.e. blackmail, in case the Bush Family Crime Syndicate would try to double-cross him.

"Ever hear the old expression, it's not what ya know, it's who ya know? Well, whoever said that just hadn't caught the Vice President's [George Bush's] kids in the dope business, 'cause I can tell ya for sure what ya know can definitely be more important than who ya know," bragged Seal to his buddy.

Reed was incredulous. "... Barry, are you telling me George Bush's kids are in the drug business?" he asked.

"Yup, that's what I'm tellin ya. A guy in Florida who flipped for the DEA has got the goods on the Bush boys. Now I heard this from a reliable source in Colombia, but I just sat on it then, waiting to use it as a trump card if I ever needed it. Well I need to use it now. I got names, dates, places, even got some tape recordings. I even got surveillance videos catchin' the Bush boys redhanded. I consider this stuff my insurance policy," said Seal.

"It makes me and the mole on the inside that's feeding the stuff to me invincible. Now this is real sensitive shit inside of U.S. Customs and DEA and those guys are pretty much under control. It's damage control as usual. But where it gets real interestin' is what the Republicans will do to the Democrats in order to ditty up the people who might use this information against Bush."

Hinting at a high-level Mob War between the Bush Family and the Clinton Cadre, Seal told Reed "he was on a secret mission by none other than the Agency [CIA] to sort of dirty up some people real close to the Governor [Clinton]."

"Now I had been working on this through Dan Lasater," continued Seal. "Now Dan's a good ol boy and all that, but he's gotta drug problem and he's got the balls to be stealin' from the Agency too."

Imagine stealing cocaine profits from the CIA.

When Reed questioned him about the duffel bag Seal had taken to Skeeter Ward, Seal said, "Let's don't call it cocaine. Let's call it neutralizing powder. Least that's the way the Bush family saw it. This is just one family warrin' against another just like the Mob."

Reed claims he found these revelations "disquieting." Seal tried to reassure him by saying, "Terry, I told ya when I met ya. I'm in transportation and I transport what the government wants transported. In this case, the Republicans ... the Bush family... wanted some stuff transported into Mena and into Arkansas that would end up in the noses of some very prominent Democrats." Seal was later assassinated.

FORTUNATE SON GOES AWOL

Like all of his peers, George Bush Jr. faced the draft for the Vietnam War after graduating from Yale in 1968. Two weeks before graduation, however, he enlisted in the Texas Air National Guard.

In 1972, he requested a transfer to an Alabama guard unit. According to military records, his request for transfer was never approved.

In June of 1972, the Guard's personnel records center notified him that he was "ineligible" for the Air Reserve Squadron he requested so he remained assigned to the Texas reserve unit.

Bush claims he went to Alabama anyway and says he attended guard meetings there. William Turnipseed, the commanding officer of the Alabama reserve unit, denies Bush's claims.

"Hell, I would have remembered a guy from Texas reporting for duty in my unit," Turnipseed says. "I had been in Texas. Did my flight training in Texas. Somebody from Texas would have been something worth remembering."

Bush finally showed up in Houston in May 1973 after a yearlong absence - with no consequencesl, and later an honorable discharge.

Was George W. Bush a deserter? Or just a "fortunate son" cokehead, whose father George Herbert Walker Bush happened to be a congressman from Texas?

There is a moral to this story -- being a member of the Bush Crime Family means never having to say you're sorry.
