A Bush In Hand
Is worth two in the...um, bush
The earliest published reference to Iranian nukes that I can find online is from the UPI dated 24 April 1984, citing Jane’s Defense Weekly and “West German intelligence”. The timing coincides with Ronald Reagan’s re-election campaign, and Reagan famously rode the Iranian hostage crisis into office in 1980.
A CIA report “confirmed” an Iranian nuke program on the same date in its Nuclear (ahem) Factbook. The CIA also cites Jane’s Defense Weekly. Jane’s is a “respected independent” British publication that happened to be founded at the same time it reported Iran being ‘on the verge’ of having a nuclear bomb.
Of course, rumors of Iranian global domination started almost as soon as the Shah fell and the Islamic Revolution came to power, and it’s no surprise that Israel, in particular the character of Benjamin Mileikowsky (a.k.a. Nuttyahoo), has been beating this dead horse for decades, with Iran just hours/days/weeks/months/years from getting nukes. The UPI report noted Iran would be a nuclear power within two years, and that was 40 years ago.
Israel was created by British intelligence (with the consent of France, Russia and Italy) to do exactly what it does—keep the Middle East in a constant state of turmoil. Whenever peace starts breaking out in the region, Israel can be depended on to stir the pot.
There is no reasonable doubt that October 7th was a LIHOP to provide the predicate for renewed Israeli aggression throughout the region, including non-combatant nations, whose critical mistake was being in bombing range of Israel. That Hamas could fund, organize and execute 10/7 without the Mossad knowing almost every minute detail strains credulity.
It’s notable that the early reports of Iranian nuke programs began appearing at the height of the Iran-Iraq war (1980-1988). Essentially, Iran was exploring any weapons systems that would offset the US support of the Saddam Hussein regime, through the transfer of chemical weapons to Iraq, as retaliation against the ayatollahs for deposing the Shah and holding US hostages for over a year.
It would be the same chemical weapons supplied to Iraq that would form the basis for the US invasions of Iraq under both Bush regimes. Iran abandoned its nuclear weapons program after the fall of Hussein during Desert Storm.
From that point forward, there was zero evidence that Iran was pursuing anything but civilian nuclear power programs. Iran was on the verge of signing an agreement with the US to give Russia control of any uranium refined beyond the needs of power generation.
There was absolutely no reason at all for Israel to pre-emptively attack Iran. Israeli attacks have revealed no evidence of weapons-grade uranium (easily tracked by satellites), nor had Iran shown any aggression toward Israel, only responding in very measured terms to Israeli provocations under the lunatic leadership of Benjamin Mileikowsky (a.k.a. Nuttyahoo).
It is impossible to argue that Israel acted legally under the terms of international law or UN conventions. It is impossible to argue that Iran provoked Israel in any way over the past couple of years. It is impossible to justify Israel’s actions under any sane and rational set of circumstances. Israel is clearly a rogue terrorist state hell-bent on regime change in Iran for…um, reasons.
The only people and organizations who can support and justify Israel’s actions in Iran are those who directly benefit from a constant state of war. This would include the Military-Industrial Complex, as well as state actors seeking to block the expansion of BRICS, China’s Belt and Road Initiative, and Iran’s cozy relationship with China in terms of energy sales.
So what we essentially have here is Israel, acting as a cut-out for Western interests, trying to disrupt Iran’s growing role in supporting Chinese (and by extension Russian) growth in a crucial region of the Middle East. In fact, it is specifically the policies and behavior of the US and EU in sanctioning and maintaining hostile postures with regard to Russia and Iran that have driven them into cozier relationships with China.
In other words, if the US and EU had maintained mutually beneficial trade relations with Eastern Europe and the Middle East at large, the EU wouldn’t be on the verge of collapse, the US economy wouldn’t be suffering, and China’s growth would have been in check.
Ultimately, all the major problems in the world right now can be traced back to the Bush family dynasty. The Bushes created drug pipelines into the US using CIA assets (Daddy was head of the CIA for a time) via Arkansas (the Clintons). Daddy Bush also capitalized on Nixon’s trade mission to China by heavily investing in exported manufacturing from the US, and exploiting cheap labor in China.
The Bushes were also heavily leveraged into energy, using political connections with the Saudis, Kuwaitis and Saddam Hussein in their effort to corner Middle East energy suppliers in order to feed their Chinese operations with cheap oil and natural gas.
All of the wars in the Middle East since the early 1990s, have involved Bush family relationships with various entities throughout the Middle East, and in the persons of the Clinton and Obama crime syndicates.
Just sampling the Bush family ties to China gives us:
George H.W. Bush Family Foundation
George H.W. Bush Foundation for U.S.-China Relations (founded 2017): Received a $5 million annual grant from the China–United States Exchange Foundation (CUSEF) starting in 2019.
Sponsored events including a Beijing space-tech symposium featuring CASC, a U.S.-blacklisted Chinese military contractor.
Prescott Bush Jr.
Built Shanghai’s first golf course in the 1980s, served as Chairman of the U.S.–China Chamber of Commerce, with close ties to Chinese political elite.
Strong relations with Jiang Zemin, aligning business dealings with political access.
Neil Bush
2002–2007: Earned up to $400K per year + stock ($2 million total) via a consulting contract with Grace Semiconductor, co-founded by Jiang Zemin’s son.
Holds leadership roles in China-linked firms (e.g., Crest Investment, SingHaiyi) and promotes Chinese state positions on geopolitics.
Sponsored events featuring non-commercial cooperation with Chinese defense industry players.
Jeb Bush
Via Britton Hill Holdings, he raised over $26 million including significant funding from HNA Group, a Chinese conglomerate partly owned by Beijing-aligned investors.
Hosted Chinese investments in aviation and fracking funds (UK-based to bypass US scrutiny).
So what do we have in all this?
Israel is a creation of British intelligence as a means of maintaining chaos in the Middle East to prevent Islamic powers like the Ottoman Empire from rising again.
Iran is a key player in the Middle East as both a geopolitical fulcrum for energy and trade. It is the largest and most stable Shi’a Muslim power, and thus an ideological competitor with the House of Saud (predominantly Suni Wahhabi). Iran plays a central role in supplying energy to China, as well as being an important lynch pin in the BRICS and Belt & Road associations.
George H. W. Bush is the only US president to have been knighted by the British throne. The Bushes have developed significant business interests in China since the 1970s. Daddy Bush had significant ties to both the House of Saud and the Shah of Iran, and the rise of Shi’a fundamentalists threatened the flow of oil and gas to Chinese interests.
The Bush family benefits from Russian and Iranian sanctions that make China the only viable large-scale client for Russo-Iranian oil and gas, especially sanctions that artificially suppress petroleum prices.
If Iran were wavering on relationships with China, or expanding to too broad a market, the Bush family through its intelligence operations might push Israel to attack Iran to cause collapse of the Shi’a regime and installation of more compliant leadership, just as the Bushes did in 1979 with the Islamic Revolution, and later killing the leaders of Iraq, Syria and Libya in order to maintain an iron grip on energy supplies across the Middle East.
And of all the surviving ex-presidents, which one has been the quietest and least visible? That would be George W. Bush, whose only public appearances include high state affairs, like inaugurations, but no party support or endorsements. The Bushes are also the only presidents since JFK who haven’t had a movie overtly or covertly made about them. Seems low visibility is most desired.
So I submit that the entire geopolitical mess we see right now is ultimately the fault of the Bush crime dynasty, whose business ties and clandestine manipulations have been at the root of every major war and kerfuffle over the past 40 years.
The Bushes are the Deep State, dating back to Daddy Bush’s presence in Dallas the day JFK was killed. Shut down the Bush crime family and cut all their tentacles, and the clouds will part, the sun will shine, and the brotherhood of Man will flourish.

To really get a handle on current events, you’ve got to understand the ways in which the CIA and MI-6 have manipulated Iran over the past 70 years. Today’s film choice, Coup 53 (2019), is a docu-drama covering the overthrow of the Mossadegh government to install the Shah, all because of thee oil and British control.

The Bush Family has been a pox on this country for over 80 years.
Coup 53 is a very good film. Oil has been a curse to the Iranians (Persians). Oil is the curse of the Middle East. I thank the gods that Ireland has no gold, no oil, no major resources at all. And yet, the bastards still won't leave the Irish alone.
Thanks for the essay. I hope the Old World destroys itself. It's boring.
