Mrs. Bush visits center in Knoxville

KNOXVILLE - Barbara Bush says she can't fathom how child abuse happens. Still, she sees hope of stopping it.

The former first lady visited a center for sexually abused children, stopping to admire a painting of a tiny child.

"So sweet," she said. "How a mother can fail to protect a daughter, a father to protect a son, is more than I can understand. Yet we read about it happening every day.

"As a grandmother of 14, none of whom have been abused, I am pleased to say, I am really concerned about the thousands of other children out there who are."

Mrs. Bush toured the Childhelp Children's Advocacy Center on Tuesday and predicted such programs will help to reverse the cycle of abuse.

First, even if I knew nothing about Barb (and unfortunately, I do); as a mother of a severely abused daughter, I am absolutely outraged at Barb's comments about parents who "fail to protect" their children. Since when is it the fault of any parent whose child is sexually assaulted, sometimes over and over again, outside of the parent's knowledge? Child sexual abuse is the fault of the criminal perpetrators, not parents who are at least mentally unaware of such crimes!

Second, if Barb is truly not aware of any sexual violations of her grandchildren (and I really don't even like bringing the kids up, but she started it), how can she state that "none of them have ever been abused"? Unless she was consciously awake and guarding and living with each one of them every second of their lives, she could not possibly know -- unless she does -- whether or not they have ever been abused. And given that they spent SO much time in DC, which seems to abound with child molestors, the odds...

Forget it. I don't like getting into that one. Those kids need to be left alone, not dragged through the media like this. To keep using them to protest their grandparents' innocence is in itself highly disrespectful of their own rights to privacy.

Third commment: She said she is concerned about the "thousands of other children out there who are." Hello? Thousands? Mrs. Bush, you are supposed to be an educated woman and a published writer (although writing in the name of your dog still strikes me as odd behavior. For some).

You've been privy to the facts for at least the last ten years or so. Try MILLIONS, Mrs. Bush. Millions here in the US alone. Victims and survivors. Living and breathing as I write and as you continue to spread misinformation.

Since I am not a man, I can't accuse of being ungentlemanly by pulling my gloves off on this one. I have great respect for the office of the President. The office, not the people. I lost that respect a long time ago, Barb, for George and for you. Funny how the world sees people like you -- people who are human just like all of us -- as someone to be looked up to. Like I looked up to you. By force. You get the drift. Nobody else reading this needs to.

I've heard tell, although I do not have any documentation in front of me, that the numero uno reason for the Franklin Cover-Up (as in Omaha, Nebraska, former Senator John DeCamp's book, etc.) was because at least one of the victim witnesses had named George Bush as a perpetrator. If anyone has actual documentation on this, I'd be most delighted to get a copy. The primary "alleged" suspect, Larry King (not the talk-show host) was a major fund-raiser for the Republican party and real close buddies with George.

Daniel Ryder, in his revised edition of "Cover-Up of the Century," made an interesting observation in his chapter on the FMS (False Memory Syndrome) Foundation. I've noticed this trend, too. A man will be accused of having molested children. The wife will be, or at least act, all upset and protest THEIR innocence, as if she has no personality or life outside her relationship with her husband. In the meantime, he remains completely silent about the issue, satisfied to watch the wife deal with the media cover-up. Yes, I did say cover-up.

My daughter was horribly abused. A lot of it, she still doesn't remember; a little, she does. Her father was her primary abuser, although she was also abused by many. Because I was still a victim and not yet in recovery, he abused her for years WHILE I WAS IN THE HOME. And more. Only when I was away from him for a while and had started to deal with my own childhood abuse issues and dissociation, did I begin to remember that I had actually opened doors, innocently, and caught him, and then I had SHUT THE DOOR and completely blocked out what I had just seen. Why is this?

Besides the fact that denial was a life-long habit for me, besides the fact that to face what he was doing would have brought up all my own buried pain, besides the fact that what I saw was so mind-shatteringly unnatural, besides the fact that my husband was betraying our marriage and using our own daughter to do so, there were at least three other factors that further reinforced my denial and subsequent amnesia:

I didn't understand love. I hadn't been given nor exposed to real love in my own childhood. I wanted to believe he loved me; I wanted to believe he was a good man. To believe otherwise would mean more pain. Also, I was dependent on him to tell me what to do, to be the father to my daughter, to be my protector, my provider, my teacher. Most of all, I depended on him to give me the self-esteem I was drastically lacking.

Yes, I finally divorced him. Because he didn't meet those needs. But by then, what I was mentally blocking out was done.

Did that make me complicit in my daughter's abuse? No. I struggled with this for a while. How could I stop what I couldn't even remember happening? How could I remember if facing my own parallel trauma was still too dangerous for my own mind to bear?

So what makes Mrs. Bush's claim that her grandchildren weren't abused reliable? She can't be sure. It is impossible. Maybe that's what she wants to believe. Maybe that's what she wants others to believe.

Again, I realize that I'm touching on Holy Grail turf here, daring to question the motives of a saint; an ex-First Lady. So be it.

P. 43 of Ryder's book:

"(And for those who don't have conscious agendas, could they, perhaps, have unconscious ones? That is, they may be defending acts of perpetration they actually blocked out. Psychological studies show that people that have been abused in childhood, often become perpetrators themselves as parents -- whether that's verbal, physical, sexual, or ritual abuse. And, theoretically, if they blocked the trauma out in their own childhood, they may actually, as adults, block out some, or all, of the trauma involved with thier own perpetration as well.)"

From my own experience, what Ryder wrote about as "theoretical" is indeed fact.

Now let's get down to more true grit. As in dirt. As in serious allegations that have been printed, yet even George Bush has not -- to my knowledge -- dared contest them via a lawsuit in court. Why? Perhaps because they are true and are at least partially DOCUMENTED by Cathy and her supporters? I've met Cathy. "Trailer Park Trash" won't work this time around. She's intelligent, well-informed, not someone to come against in court.

Excerpts from Cathy O'Brien's book, "Trance Formation of America: The True Life Story of a CIA Slave":

P. 157. "Bush...knelt on one knee in front of [Cathy's daughter] Kelly in order to talk to her on her level...Using his best Mr. Rogers voice he said 'Come here, Little One. I want to ask you something...'"

p. 158. "Bush stood up and took her hand. 'C'mon. Let me show you my Neighborhood.' He led her out the door. Kelly became violently physically ill after her induction into George Bush's 'Neighborhood' and from every sexual encounter she had with him thereafter. She ran 104-6 degree temperatures, vomited and endured immobilizing headaches for an average of three days (as is consistent with high voltage trauma). These were the only tell-tale evidences aside from the scarring burns left on her skin. Houston [Cathy's then-husband and handler] forbade me to call a doctor, and Kelly forbade me to comfort her, pitifully complaining that her head 'hurt too bad to even move.'

"And she did not move for hours on end. Kelly often complained of severe kidney pain, and her rectum usually bled for a day or two after Bush sexually abused her. My own mind-control victimization rendered me unable to help or to protect her. Seeing my child in such horrible condition drove my own wedge of insanity in deeper, perpetuating my total inability to affect her needs...

"Kelly's bleeding rectum was but one of many physical indicators of George Bush's pedophile perversions. I have overheard him speak blatantly of his sexual abuse of her on many occasions. He used this and threats to her life to 'pull my strings' and control me. The psychological ramifications of being raped by a pedophile President are mind-shattering enough, but reportedly Bush further reinforced his traumas to Kelly's mind with sophisticated NASA electronic and drug mind-control devices. Bush also instilled...[mental] binds on Kelly, further reinforcing her sense of helplessness. The systematic tortures and traumas I endured as a child now seem trite in comparison to the brutal physical and psychological devastation that George Bush inflicted on my daughter."

P. 170. "Bohemian Grove is reportedly intended to be used recreationally, provicing a supposedly secure environment for politically affluent individuals to 'party' without restraint. The only business conducted there pertained to implementing the New World Order, through the proliferation of mind-control atrocities, giving the place an air of 'Masonic Secrecy.' The only room where business discussions were permitted was the small, dark lounge affectionately and appropriately referred to as the Underground.

"Sex slaves were not routinely permitted in the Underground for security reasons, leaving the lounge's small stage as the only source of 'entertainment'. This entertainment ranged from would-be talents such as Lee Atwater, Bill Clinton, and George Bush to CIA Operative entertainers such as Boxcar Willie and Lee Greenwood."

P. 194-195. "George Bush was highly active in both the Lamep, Missouri and Shasta, California retreat campgrounds. Just like Lampe, Shasta's cover was country music. According to everyone I knew, singer and songwriter Merle Haggard supposedly ran the show at Lake Shasta, diverting any and all attention from the nearby Mount Shasta compound. Shasta was the largest, covert mind-control slave camp of which I am aware. Hidden in the wooded hills, military fencing corrals an enormous fleet of unmarked, black helicopters andmore mind-controlled, military robots than I saw in all of Haiti. This covert military operation served its own agenda, not Americ's. I was told and overheard that it was a base for the future Multi-Jurisdictional Police force; for enforcing order and law in the New World Order. In the center of the high security compound, was another well-guarded military-fenced area that was regarded as a 'Camp David' of sorts for those running our country. George Bush and Dich Cheney shared an office there, and claimed the outer perimeter woods as their own hunting ground where they played 'A Most Dangerous Game'. Predicated on conversations I overheard between the two, it was this world police military background that earned Dick Cheney his cabinet appointment as Secretary of Defense with the Bush Administration.

"Houston stayed at Haggard's Lake Shasta resort while Kelly and I were helicoptered to Mount Shasta for our scheduled meeting with Bush and Cheney...as soon as we arrived at Bush and Cheney's inner sanctum, I noticed George Bush, Jr. was with them. It was my experience that Jr. stood by his father and covered his backside whenever Bush would become incapacitated from drugs or required criminal backup. It appeared that Jr. was there to serve both purposes while his father and Cheney enjoyed their work-vacation.

"Hyper from drugs, Cheney and Bush were eager to hunt their human prey...They greeted me with the rules of the game, ordered me to strip naked despite the cold December winds...Kelly's life became the stakes, as usual, which resurrected my natural and exaggerated programmed maternal instincts. Tears silently ran down my cheeks as Bush told me, 'If we catch you, Kelly's mine. So run, run as fast as you can. I'll get you and your little girl, too...I will.'

[According to Cathy, he did. Brutally. Again.]

P. 223. "Kelly, now 15, remains a political prisoner in the custody of the State of Tennessee where she is denied qualified therapy for the MK-Ultra Project...Mind-Control abuses she endured. The State of Tennessee, under the politically powerful influence of Kelly's abusers, is in violation of numerous laws and basic civil rights in their determined efforts to keep Kelly from qualified therapy and the family she loves.

"While many of those in positions to make a difference in Kelly's care operate on a 'Need to Know' basis rather than deliberately conspire with the bad guys, a closer look into Kelly's case history should raise serious questions in their minds. Questions like; 'What could a child have to do with the so-called 'National Security' of our country?' The Juvenile court judge presiding over Kelly's case closed the doors to the media and onlookers for 'reasons of National Security' while gross and blatant violations of laws and rights ensue.

"For over three long years, Kelly and I have been denied our right to an unbiased attorney while court-appointed advocates and so-called 'guardians' join forces and attorneys paid off by my pedophile father. My own court-appointed 'attorney,' who doubles for the Juvenile Court judge when he takes a day off, has yet to represent my interest. My interest is in Kelly's well being and fugure -- and if she will have a future at all.

"While Kelly is still amnesic with regard to most of her past, she is deliberately denied therapeutical access to her past, due to who and what she will recall. I am denied access to Kelly for fear she would be triggered into remembering by my mere presence. As for my deliberately 'triggering' Kelly to remember what she was supposed to forget, as her abusers fear, it has been my experience that recovery must come from the inside out. Not from outside input. I want no less for Kelly than the...peace-of-mind I have gained through qualified rehabilitation. Which raises the questions: Why has the Juvenile court prohibited us from saying the name 'George Bush'? Why is the 'Wizard of Oz' [D.C. level victims' programming tool] a taboo subject for Kelly while the State of Tennessee provices her with Stephen King horror novels? Why are Kelly and I forbidden by the court to say the words 'President,' 'politics,' 'New World Order,' and 'mind control?'"

P. 224. "You can write to the State of Tennessee demanding to know why Kelly is being denied her right to qualified rehabilitation c/o: Cathy O'Brien, P.O. Box 158352, Nashville, Tennessee 37215."

[End of quotes.]

A number of awakening DC-level MK survivors have been approached by parties with vested political interests, to use their information to blackmail and otherwise discomfit pols and ex-pols. I'm not into that game. But I don't believe in putting up with perps running around free.

I fully believe that Kelly was raped by George Bush. I have strong reasons to believe this, reasons I'm not safe (yet) to go into, as some of my relatives are vulnerable to further assaults by connected parties.

But that doesn't stop me from being absolutely outraged when the media quotes what Barbara Bush (and, occasionally, George) say as valid, ignoring the cries of victims of horrendous assaults. So much for women's lib!

Still, I am careful not to believe everything I read at face value. I do some of my own digging. I look for loose pieces of validations... of my own memories, and of DC-level survivors.

See part two for some quotes containing possible validations and interesting psychological insights into the mind of one George Bush, former CIA Director, former VP, and former President of the U.S.A.
