Robber barons? The Bushes, the Vatican, bin Laden, Saddam Hussein and China's Communist overlords

Chris Floyd, 23August 2005, at sianews, wrote about a vast web of sinister alliances.

Reportedly, the network links such people as the Bushes, the Vatican, bin Laden, Saddam Hussein and China's Communist overlords.

The alleged crimes of the network include prostitution, pedophilia, mass death and war profiteering.

It's all about 'business', according to Floyd.

Floyd writes that 'Bush boys' do business by 'trawling the globe for sweetheart deals and gushers of blood money from the war and terror they foment.'

Floyd claims that the central figure is Neil Bush.

Reportedly, Neil Bush cost American taxpayers $1 billion when a savings-and-loan, which 'he had ruined with secret insider loans to his own business partners', had to be bailed out.

Floyd sees the Bushes as robber barons, not capitalists.

George W Bush's first business 'was jump-started with secret cash from the bin Ladens, laundered through their U.S. frontman, James Bath - who was also hired by W.'s dad... to set up offshore companies for shifting CIA money and aircraft between Texas and Saudi Arabia, the Texas Observer reported.'

Floyd lists some alleged Neil Bush deals:

1. A partnership with one of China's own influence-peddling oligarchs: Jiang Mianheng, son of former President Jiang Zemin.

He's paying Bush $2 million for "advice" in the semiconductor industry.

2. Neil Bush earned $1 million for "introductions and advice" from the CP Group, a Bangkok conglomerate.

According to Floyd: 'In return for supplying his paymasters with a golden conduit to the White House, Neilsy received a special perk: free prostitutes, served up fresh to his hotel room during business trips to Asia...'

3. Neil Bush and Joseph Ratzinger, Pope Benedict XVI, were board members of a Swiss institute devoted to "interfaith dialogue."

'Dunn & Bradstreet lists the supposedly nonprofit foundation as a "management trust," designed for "purposes other than education, religion, charity or research."'

Ratzinger supported George W Bush in the presidential election. Bush reaped an extra six percent of the Catholic vote.

4. Neil Bush has a long-time partnership with Syrian-born businessman Jamal Daniel.

According to Floyd:

'Daniel, also a boardmate in the Swiss adventure with Ratzinger, is a principal in New Bridge Strategies, a firm set up by top Bush insiders to steer corporate clients to the fountains of blood money flowing from George W.'s conquest of Iraq.

'The company makes frequent use of Neilsy's "introductions" and Middle East connections, The Financial Times reported. It also operates a profitable sideline in mercenaries.

'Daniel brings his own unique connections to the regional porkfest: His family was instrumental in the creation of the Baath Party in Syria and Iraq, The Financial Times noted.

'And of course, the Bush Family's covert arm, the CIA - whose headquarters bears the name of George Sr. - assisted not one, but two, Baathist coups in Iraq, including the bloody upheaval that brought Saddam Hussein's family faction to power, historian Roger Morris reported.

'Still later, the CIA would supply Osama bin Laden and his fellow extremists with weapons, money and terrorist training: a shrewd investment whose long-term consequences - the current "war on terror" - are still paying fat dividends for Bush coffers.'
