Like the Henry III ancestral claim, Franklin Pierce may be a bad omen for <strong>George</strong> <strong>Bush</strong>.<br />

<strong>The</strong> catastrophic Pierce was refused renomination by his own political party. Pierce<br />

backed schemes to spread slavery by having mercenaries, called `` filibusters, '' invade<br />

Mexico, Central America and the Caribben islands. During the Civil War, he attacked the<br />

Emancipation Proclamation that outlawed black slavery in the rebel states. His former<br />

backers among the wealthy New England families abandoned him and treated him like<br />

dirt. He died unmourned in 1869.<br />

One may ask, in what way are President <strong>Bush</strong> and his backers conscious of an<br />

oligarchical tradition? For a clue, let us look at the case of Arthur Burr Darling, <strong>George</strong><br />

<strong>Bush</strong>'s prep school history teacher.<br />

Just after Claude Fuess `` came into power with Hitler and Mussolini '' in 1933, Fuess<br />

brought Darling in to teach. Dr. Darling was head of the Andover history department<br />

from 1937 to 1956, and Faculty Guardian of one of the secret societies. His Political<br />

Changes in Massachusetts, 1824 to 1848 covered the period of Andover's eclipse by<br />

Boston's aristocratic opium lords. Darling's book attacks Andover's greatest<br />

humanitarian, Jedidiah Morse, as a dangerous lunatic, because Morse warned about<br />

international criminal conspiracies involving these respectable Bostonians. <strong>The</strong> same<br />

book attacks President John Quincy Adams as a misguided troublemaker, responsible<br />

with Morse for the anti-freemasonic movement in the 1820s-30s.<br />

Arthur Burr Darling, while still head of Andover's history department, was chosen by the<br />

Harrimanites to organize the historical files of the new Central Intelligence Agency, and<br />

to write the CIA's own official account of its creation and first years. Since this cynical<br />

project was secret, Darling's 1971 obituary did not reflect his CIA employment.@s2@s5<br />

Darling's <strong>The</strong> Central Intelligence Agency: An Instrument of Government, to 1950 was<br />

classified Secret on its completion in December 1953. For 36 years it was only to be<br />

consulted for self-justification by the Harrimanites. This mercenary work was finally<br />

declassified in 1989 and was published by Pennsylvania State University in 1990.<br />

Subsequent editions of Who Was Who in America were changed, in the fashion of Joe<br />

Stalin's `` history revisers, '' to tell the latest, official version of what <strong>George</strong> <strong>Bush</strong>'s<br />

history teacher had done with his life.<br />

Crisis<br />

Having met his future wife Barbara, Poppy <strong>Bush</strong> returned from the Christmas holidays<br />

after New Year's Day, 1942, for his final months at Andover. <strong>The</strong> U.S. entry into World<br />

War II made things rather awkward for <strong>Bush</strong> and some of his schoolmates, and cast a<br />

dark shadow on his future.<br />

Since early 1941, the Justice Department had been investigating the Nazi support<br />

apparatus among U.S. firms. This probe centered on the Harriman, Rockefeller, Du Pont<br />

and related enterprises, implicating <strong>George</strong>'s father Prescott, his partners and the <strong>Bush</strong>es'<br />

close family friends.
