So what's the deal with Marvin Bush?
I know NOTHING about this guy (another of the presidunce's distinguished brothers). I don't even know what he looks like. What does he do? How old is he? Where does he live? Is he a closeted liberal? Is he the real mastermind behind the Bush Crime Family? Is he a pulsating brain floating in a nutrient bath? WTF?

3. For starters, he was on the board of the Kuwaiti-backed, Bush-linked firm
that provided electronic security to the World Trade Center, Dulles airport and United Airlines. He left before the attacks to join the board of one of the WTC's insurance carriers.

Then there's the unexplained death of his children's babysitter.

5. The bush family is intertwined in so many
things connected to 9/11 that it's mind boggeling. I can't sort it out. :mad:

6. When you hear his brothers talking about peace, education,
family values, women's rights, reform or some such thing, you can be sure it is a phony plan that masks some way for Neil and the rest of them to cash in and take taxpayer money. Besides war and security, another one of his games is selling educational testing to the shools that conveniently now need the service through the new laws Bush backed.

He and Jeb both left investors holding the bag in savings and loan and real estate scandals, just like George did with his fake companies.

‘Frauds-R-Us’

The Bush Family Saga


Stratesec/Securacom, KuAm (Kuwait-American Corporation), HCC Insurance (formerly Houston Casualty Company)

By William Bowles

05/11/03: (Information Clearing House) The links between these companies is strange. All have a Bush connection as well as
well as a World Trade Centre, United Airlines, Dulles International Airport security, aviation and Kuwaiti connection. What is known, is that SEC regulations were breached by Marvin Bush in filings submitted to the SEC.

WHO IS MARVIN P. BUSH?

The public rarely sees Marvin P. Bush, brother of President Bush II.

Marvin P. Bush is the founder (1993) and Managing Partner of Winston Partners Group of Vienna, Virginia. It's a private investment company. He is also the Managing General Partner of Winston Growth Fund, LLP; Winston International Growth Fund, LP; Winston Small Cap Growth Fund, LP; all related companies.

Before this, he spent 12 years in the investment business with the firms of Mosley, Hallgarten, Estabrook and Weeden, Shearson Lehman Brothers, and John Stewart Darrel & Company.

In January, 1998, Marvin Bush was appointed to the Board of Directors of the Fresh Del Monte Produce company, the giant fruit company (major product bananas) that makes the canned goods we buy in our markets. Del Monte is owned by a very wealthy family from Kuwait, the Abu-Ghazaleh family. Mohammed Abu-Ghazaleh is the CEO and he has several family members on the Board alongside Marvin Bush. Another member of the Fresh Del Monte Board of Directors is Stephen Way, who is a major Bush fundraiser. Way is the head of the Houston-based HCC Insurance Holdings Company. In early 2000, Stephen Way acquired the appointment of Marvin Bush to the Board of Directors of HCC. In that transaction, Bush not only landed a very large salary, but a sweet stock option deal. He purchased about $130,000 worth of HCC stock which is now valued at close to $600,000, not even one year later.

Marvin Bush is also on the Board of Directors of something called the Kerrco Company.

Marvin also was named to the Board of Directors of the Stratesec Company, another large publicly-traded firm. This company is very secretive and you can find virtually nothing about it. Their website does not allow entry to several links unless one has a password. Virginia-based Stratesec is a provider of high-tech security systems. Two of the major customers for which they provide security are the Dulles International Airport at Washington, D.C. and the Los Alamos National Laboratory. Stratesec's revenues recently went up by 60%, due to what the company describes as "new customers" Prominent people at Stratesec also include former Reagan operatives including Barry McDaniel and Air Force General James A. Abrahamson (who was involved in the Reagan "Star Wars" project). Stratesec is a company is heavily inter-related with the Kuwam Corporation ("Kuw" = Kuwait; "am" = America). Kuwam is a major Kuwaiti Company into many, many activities including the aircraft business. Stratesec's Chief Executive is also the Managing Director of Kuwam Corporation and Kuwam's Chairman Mishal Yousef Saud Al Sabah sits on Stratesec's Board of Directors. Stratesec is providing the primary security for one of the most sensitive airports in the world. Dulles in D.C., has a heavy middle eastern airline connection.

10. Nothin to see here...just another coincidence that he installed the
security at WTC, United and Dulles. Just another example of Bush incompetence, pay it no mind.

11. FIRST Brother
He's the Lowest Profile of the Bush Boys, but His Business Career Is Probably the Most Successful. Meet Marvin Bush, the President's Youngest Brother, and His 300-Million-Dollar Money Management Firm.

Anyone want to speculate if there is truth in every joke?
