Prior to this year, President George W. Bush is a failed oilman. Three times, friends and investors have bailed him out to keep his business from going bankrupt. However, in 1988, the same year his father becomes president, some Saudis buy a portion of his small company, Harken, which has never performed work outside of Texas. Later in the year, Harken wins a contract in the Persian Gulf and starts doing well financially. These transactions seem so suspicious that the Wall Street Journal in 1991 states it “raises the question of… an effort to cozy up to a presidential son.” Two major investors in Bush’s company during this time are Salem bin Laden and Khalid bin Mahfouz. Salem bin Laden dies in a plane crash in Texas in 1988.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- President George W. Bush was elected to a second term as President with 55% of the votes in Channel One News' OneVote 2004, one of the largest online teen elections in US history. Senator John Kerry received 40%, with 5% voting for a third party candidate. Although pundits believe that there are a number of "swing" states that could follow either candidate, Channel One's OneVote participants defied conventional wisdom by awarding President Bush the states of Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Oregon, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire and New Mexico. Senator Kerry's lone swing state victory came in Maine. OneVote 2004 was Channel One network's third mock presidential election, and is one of the largest online teen votes in history with nearly 1.4 million participants. Sponsored by Clearasil, Channel One News' OneVote 2004 was designed to encourage young people to participate in the electoral process from an early age.

It is disturbing that George W. Bush would have close ties with a man of such a poor reputation. Consider, for example, this item from an article at News Max: Ashcroft Is Bush's 'Johnny Appleseed', Aug. 18, 2001 - 'In East Tennessee, solid GOP territory, Ashcroft had $200,000 to bestow on the police of Knoxville, whose Mayor Victor Ashe was George W. Bush's roommate at Yale University.' And consider this item from an article at USmayors.org: 'President George W. Bush has announced the appointment of Knoxville Mayor Victor Ashe, a Past President and current member of the Executive Committee of The U.S. Conference of Mayors, to the Board of Directors of Fannie Mae, the nation's largest source of financing for home mortgages. Ashe is the first mayor to serve on Fannie Mae's Board of Directors.' Even more disturbing than George W. Bush's close ties with Victor Ashe past and present are multiple allegations of homosexual relations coming from former Secret Service agents who worked for the Presidential Administration. Skolnicks' Reports, which is linked from Puritan News Weekly, chronicles this testimony. With that in mind, the following web sites mention suspicions that Victor Ashe, Mayor of Knoxville, Tennessee, is W's longtime gay partner. Ashe is an open homosexual, who has been described in news stories as sexually active and promiscuous.

George W. Bush is following in the footsteps of his predecessors, but may have left more tracks. For starters, invading another country on false pretenses is grounds for impeachment. Also, the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution essentially says that the people have the right to be secure against unreasonable government searches and seizures and that no search warrants shall be issued without probable cause that a crime has been committed. And the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) requires that warrants for national security wiretaps be authorized by the secret FISA court. The law says that it is a crime for government officials to conduct electronic surveillance outside the exclusive purviews of that law or the criminal wiretap statute. President Bush’s authorization of the monitoring of Americans’ e-mails and phone calls by the National Security Agency (NSA) without even the minimal protection of FISA court warrants is clearly unconstitutional and illegal.
