History of the Reformation; and foundation president Metropolitan Damaskinos;- a Greek Orthodox<br />

leader.<br />

In an over the telephone conversation with Knut Royce, Gary Vachicouras, a theologian and<br />

foundation official in Geneva, would not explain why Bush, who has no clear public connection to<br />

religious causes, was on the first board in the first place?<br />

For those who don‘t really know much about Neil Bush here‘s a little run down: In a highly publicised<br />

divorce, Bush revealed he and Daniel were co-chairs of Texas-based Crest Investment Co., which paid him<br />

$60,000 a year for consulting, and a Crest Investment official used Bush‘s name as a reference in cutting<br />

an exclusive deal with Texas officials on construction of a liquid natural gas storage facility that will<br />

guarantee Crest payments of at least $2 million a year, according to the Los Angeles Times. The<br />

foundation, based at the Orthodox Centre of the Ecumenical Patriarchate in Geneva, is listed by Dun &<br />

Bradstreet business credit reports as a management trust for purposes other than education, religion,<br />

charity or research; [4] Olivier Fatio, - who left the board some years ago, said the foundation never had any<br />

money; - Vachicouras declined to discuss finances. - Neil Bush was a member of the board of directors of<br />

Denver-based Silverado Savings and Loan during the 1980‘s larger Savings and Loan crisis. As his father<br />

was Vice President of the United States, his role in Silverado‘s failure was a focal point of publicity.<br />

According to a piece in Salon, Silverado‘s collapse cost taxpayers $1.3 billion. The US Office of Thrift<br />

Supervision investigated Silverado‘s failure and determined that Bush had engaged in numerous breaches<br />

of his fiduciary duties involving multiple conflicts of interest.<br />

In 1999, Bush co-founded Ignite!-Learning, [Note the Masonic/Illuminati twang to the name.] an<br />

educational software corporation. Bush has said he started Austin-based Ignite!-Learning because of his<br />

learning difficulties in middle school and those of his son, Pierce. The software uses multiple intelligence<br />

methods to provide varying types of content to appeal to multiple learning styles. To fund Ignite!-<br />

Learning, Bush raised $23 million from U.S. investors, including his parents, as well as [Masonic]<br />

businessmen from Taiwan, Japan, Kuwait, the British Virgin Islands and the United Arab Emirates,<br />

according to documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Documented investors<br />

include Russian billionaire expatriate Boris Berezovsky, Berezovsky‘s partner Badri Patarkatsishvili,<br />

Kuwaiti company head Mohammed Al Saddah, and Chinese computer executive Winston Wong. In 2002,<br />

Neil Bush commended his brother, George, for his efforts on education as President, but he questioned the<br />

emphasis on constant testing to keep federal aid coming to public schools: ―I share the concerns of many<br />

that if our system is driven around assessments, pencil-and-paper tests that test a kid's ability to memorise<br />

stuff, I would say that reliance threatens to institutionalise bad teaching practices.‖ [5]<br />

As of October 2006, over 13 U.S. school districts [out of over 14,000 school districts nation-wide.]<br />

have used federal funds made available through the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 in order to buy<br />

Ignite!-Learning products at $3,800 apiece, which amounts to a meagre $49,400 in sales. A December<br />

2003 Style section article in the Washington Post reported that Bush‘s salary from Ignite!-Learning was<br />

$180,000 per year, almost four times as much as the sales revenue, so no wonder such companies can<br />

never survive or make a profit, and which goes to show you how much he really cared for that programme<br />

because of his own learning difficulties and those of his son! - Neil Bush has also been seen in<br />

Berezovsky‘s box by my mates at the Arsenal‘s Emirates stadium to watch a game. - In Asia, Bush<br />

accompanied Sun Myung Moon, the founder of the Unification Church, aka the brainwashing ―Moonies‖<br />

cult, on his world peace tour. In 2009 Bush congratulated Moon on the publication of his autobiography at<br />

a Unification Church sponsored event. He was quoted as saying: ―Rev. Moon is presenting a very simple<br />

concept. We are all children of God.‖<br />

U.S. Government Says Pope Immune from Lawsuit; by Nicole Winfield, Rome. [The Associated Press,<br />

carried in Fort Worth Star-Telegram.] On the 20th Sept 2005 The U.S. Justice Department has told a<br />

Texas court that a lawsuit accusing Pope Benedict XVI of conspiring to cover up the sexual molestation of<br />

three boys by a seminarian should be dismissed; because the pontiff enjoys immunity as head of state of<br />

the Holy See. Assistant U.S. Attorney General Peter Keisler said in the filing that allowing the lawsuit to<br />

proceed would be; incompatible with the United States foreign policy interests. There was no immediate<br />

ruling from Judge Lee Rosenthal of the U.S. District Court for the southern district of Texas in Houston.<br />

However, U.S. courts have been bound by such suggestion of immunity motions submitted by the<br />

government, Keisler‘s filing says. [6]<br />

A 1994 lawsuit against Pope John Paul II, also filed in Texas, was dismissed after the U.S. government<br />

filed a similar motion. [7] In the London Evening Standard on the 30th Sept 2006 it stated; ―The Pope<br />

played a leading role in a systematic cover-up of child sex abuse by Roman Catholic priests, according to<br />

a shocking documentary to be screened by the BBC tonight -The Panorama special, Sex Crimes and The
