Chinese mega-bucks for Bush brothers

By Margie Burns
Online Journal Contributing Writer

December 16, 2003—Many observers were surprised last week when George W. Bush came down in favor of the People's Republic of China, against a democratic referendum in Taiwan. His weighing in on behalf of mainland China becomes more questionable at a time when well-connected Chinese companies are funneling large sums of money to Bush's brothers.

News reports reveal that Shanghai-based Grace Semiconductor Manufacturing, a multi-billion-dollar company co-founded by a son of China's former president, has presidential brother Neil Bush under a $2 million contract.

With no background in semiconductors, Neil Mallon Bush, third brother in the family, got a five-year contract from Grace, involving an annual retainer of $400,000 in stock. The arrangement is disclosed in court papers in Mr. Bush's scandal-ridden divorce. The business press has conjectured that Grace hoped to influence US limits on exporting sensitive technology to China.

An even bigger Chinese company recently moved in ways that benefit youngest Bush brother Marvin P. Bush. The company is Hong Kong-based Cheung Kong Holdings, a gargantuan real estate and investment conglomerate now branching into biotechs. According to the company, "combined market capitalization of the Cheung Kong Group amounts to HK$515 billion," or "approximately 11.5 percent of the total market capitalization of the Hong Kong stock market."

Cheung Kong's portfolio now includes Critical Path, Inc., a California-based software and Internet-messaging services company that lost money for the first nine months of this year. The company's SEC filings list as a significant shareholder Mr. Purnendu Chatterjee, acting for Winston Partners LP, a company co-founded by Marvin P. Bush. Recent filings show that Chatterjee's group including Winston Partners owns about 5.5 million shares in Critical Path (6.82 percent). Cheung Kong already owned substantial shares in Critical Path in December 2001. Its backing can only solidify the net worth of Critical Path, which has faced class action litigation and has changed top managers a couple of times in the past three years.

It thus cannot but help boost Winston Partners, a private investment firm in northern Virginia formed by Bush with longtime business associate A. Scott Andrews.

There is no law forbidding a foreign corporation from investing in an American company just because a president's relatives hold financial interest in the same company. But there are some instances where taste and judgment, as well as explicit law, should come into play. It is not appropriate for a brother of a sitting president to take money from foreign companies, when we have such strict laws about disclosure that a president or First Family member who receives foreign gifts has to disclose every pair of earrings or belt buckle. Such gifts usually go to the American people after a president leaves office, and the Smithsonian Museum of American History has a charming exhibition of gifts to previous presidents and First Ladies.

These deals, au contraire, are not being exhibited. The White House and the Bush brothers have not responded to questions and requests for information. (Questions to the companies, to the CIA and to the FBI have not yet been answered.)

The deals are known in the international business community, where they must make an unfortunate impression. Marvin Bush is the former head of the Republican Party in Virginia, worked with the late GOP operative Lee Atwater, and has campaigned and networked extensively for his father and brother, as well as for other GOP candidates. He was also a Bush "Ranger," one of a group that raised at least $100,000 in political contributions to Bush's campaign in 2000. Neil Bush has campaigned for Republican candidates, has traveled the globe on behalf of the White House and has also stumped foreign nations for business deals for his educational software company.

This is "restoring honor and dignity to the White House?"

Cheung Kong Holdings and Grace Semiconductor are part of the intensely networked Chinese economy, with a high degree of public-private partnership. For Bush to allow his relatives, especially close relatives, to benefit financially from deals with well-connected firms in what we used to call "Red China" is, at best, a sorry reflection on his taste. For him to follow these deals with a massive shift of support to China, especially one that discourages a democratic referendum in Taiwan, is a worse reflection.

What's wrong with helping out the family of an old fraternity brother!

quote:

"MAO WAS A YALIE -

Back in 1903, Yale Divinity School established a number
of schools and hospitals throughout China that were collectively known as
'Yale in China.'
It has since been shown that 'Yale in China' was an
intelligence network whose purpose was to destroy the republican movement
of Sun Yat-sen on behalf of the Anglo-American Establishment.
The
Anglo-American "Establishment" hated Sun, because he wanted to develop
China.
On the other hand, they loved the Chinese communists because they
intended to keep China backward, and were committed to growing dope.
One of
'Yale in China's' most important students was Mao Zedong.

"During World War II, 'Yale in China' was a primary instrument used by the
U.S. Establishment and its Office of Strategic Services (OSS)
to install
the Maoists into power.
'Yale in China' was run by OSS operative Reuben Holden, the husband of Bush's cousin, and also a member of Skull and Bones.

"The Maoists made China into the world's largest opium producer.
"'Yale in China' was also closely associated with the New York-based Union
Theological Seminary,
which has been a center for U.S. subversion of Asia
(literal wolves in sheeps clothing - Branton).
Every prominent radical
leader operating in Korea today, for example, was trained at Union
Theological.
Union Theological was dominated for twenty years by Henry Sloane Coffin, a U.S. intelligence executive from the Sloane and Coffin families.
He was a Skull and Bones member as were a dozen of his relatives.

"Nor should it be forgotten that Averell Harriman, the former Ambassador to
Moscow who did so much to build up the Soviet Union,
was a member of Skull and Bones.
Harriman was also a business partner of Prescott Bush, Sr., the
father of Maoist enthusiast George Bush."

Note: This Skull and Bones - Communist connection is also confirmed by
geopolitical and economics researchers such as Dr. Antony Sutton
(Sutton's
books may be obtained through THE PATRIOT REVIEW., 33836 SE Kelso Rd. #6.,
P.O. Box 596., Boring, OR 97099; OR via THE MIDNIGHT MESSENGER., P.O. Box
472., Altadens, CA 91001).
Not only did the Skull and Bones (Western
Illuminati)
help to build up the Communist movement in China,
but they gave considerable financial aid to the Soviet Union communists as well.

According to Sutton, this power cult has for centuries been playing a "two
ends against the middle" type of game,
attempting to control America (the
thesis) and Russia (the anti-thesis) and other countries or movements,
carefully pitting them against each other
at the lower levels in order to
keep the populations of the world in a state of confusion and despair,
to
the point that they will - hopefully - resign themselves into accepting the
New World Order "synthesis" as the only alternative to solve the very
"problems" which THEY,
the New World Order initiators, created in the first place!
One startling, though documented, claim which Mr. Sutton makes is
that the Nazi Movement was largely financed by the Skull and Bones -Illuminati as well.

This connection was recently described in a mailer
describing Val Valerian's book MATRIX III
(c/o Leading Edge Research., P.O.
Box 481-MU58., Yelm, WASH 98597). Part of this mailer states:

"Interspaced with the material comes a host of data, supplementary
material, interviews, and revealing information.
The 'Final Scenario' is
discussed relative to the New World Order and the plans for total economic
control,
a one-world religion, and the electronic mind control objectives,
schools of thought, and research.
MATRIX III brings out in detail how
various families in the United States and Europe are also involved in a
scenario which has as its main tenet the suppression and elimination of
human beings on many levels
- a scenario which includes worldwide traffic
of drugs,
vast laundering of drug money by national banks of several countries,
and assassination and murder.

These are the people who arranged
and supported all the wars.
There is discussion of the Bush family, and how
Prescott Bush
assisted the finance and management of the Nazi empire
-the
so-called Hitler project..."

Gave me a shudder up my spine.
