of mankind as a matter of hereditary genetic superiority. This mentality generally goes<br />

together with a fascination for eugenics, race science and just plain racism as a means of<br />

building a case that one's own family tree and racial stock are indeed superior. <strong>The</strong>se<br />

notions of "breeding" are a constant in the history of the titled feudal aristocracy of<br />

Europe, especially Britain, towards inclusion in which an individual like <strong>Bush</strong> must<br />

necessarily strive. At the very least, oligarchs like <strong>Bush</strong> see themselves as demigods<br />

occupying a middle ground between the immortals above and the hoi poloi below. <strong>The</strong><br />

culmination of this insane delusion, which <strong>Bush</strong> has demonstrably long since attained, is<br />

the obsessive belief that the principal families of the Anglo-American elite, assembled in<br />

their freemasonic orders, by themselves directly constitute an Olympian Pantheon of<br />

living deities who have the capability of abrogating and disregarding the laws of the<br />

universe according to their own irrational caprice. If we do not take into account this<br />

element of fatal and megalomaniac hubris, the lunatic Anglo-American policies in regard<br />

to the Gulf war, international finance, or the AIDS epidemic must defy all<br />

comprehension.<br />

Part of the ethos of oligarchism as practiced by <strong>George</strong> <strong>Bush</strong> is the emphasis on one's<br />

own family pedigree and blood line. This accounts for the attention we dedicate in the<br />

opening chapters of this book to <strong>Bush</strong>'s family tree, reaching back to the nineteenth<br />

century and beyond. It is impossible to gain insight into <strong>Bush</strong>'s mentality unless we<br />

realize that it is important for him to be considered a cousin, however distant, of Queen<br />

Elizabeth II of the House of Mountbatten-Windsor, or that his wife Barbara does not wish<br />

us forget that she is in some sense a descendant of President Franklin Pierce.<br />

For related reasons, it is our special duty to illustrate the role played in the formation of<br />

<strong>George</strong> <strong>Bush</strong> as a personality by his maternal grandfather and uncle, <strong>George</strong> Herbert<br />

Walker and <strong>George</strong> Herbert Walker, Jr., and by <strong>George</strong> H.W. <strong>Bush</strong>'s father, the late<br />

Senator Prescott <strong>Bush</strong>. In the course of this task, we must speak at length about the<br />

institution to which <strong>George</strong> <strong>Bush</strong> owes the most, the Wall Street international investment<br />

bank of Brown Brothers, Harriman, the political and financial powerhouse mentioned<br />

above. For <strong>George</strong> <strong>Bush</strong>, Brown Brothers Harriman was and remains the family firm in<br />

the deepest sense. <strong>The</strong> formidable power of this bank and its ubiquitous network, wielded<br />

by Senator Prescott <strong>Bush</strong> up through the time of his death in 1972, and still active on<br />

<strong>George</strong>'s behalf down to the present day, is the single most important key to every step of<br />

<strong>George</strong>'s business, covert operations, and political career.<br />

In the case of <strong>George</strong> <strong>Bush</strong>, as many who have known him personally have noted, the<br />

network looms much larger than <strong>George</strong>'s own character and will. <strong>The</strong> reader will search<br />

in vain for strong principled commitments in <strong>George</strong> <strong>Bush</strong>'s personality; the most that<br />

will be found are a series of characteristic obsessions, of which the most durable are race,<br />

vanity, personal ambition, and settling scores with adversaries. What emerges by contrast<br />

is the decisive importance of <strong>Bush</strong>'s network of connections. His response to the Gulf<br />

crisis of 1991 will be largely predetermined, not by any great flashes of geopolitical<br />

insight, but rather by his connections to the British oligarchy, to Kissinger, to Israeli and<br />

Zionist circles, to Texas oilmen in his fundraising base, to the Saudi Arabian and Kuwaiti<br />

royal houses. If the question is one of finance, then the opinions of J. Hugh Liedtke,
