Insights from Chapter 1

#1

Despite being a fiscal conservative, Jeb’s record in the governor’s mansion in Florida showed that he was authoritarian, secretive, and imperial. He never opposed expansion of the size and scope of government.

#2

Jeb Bush made his money in consulting and big dollar honorariums for speeches. He says he is going to Washington to fight the pampered elites.

#3

Despite criticism, there were no consequences for Jeb Bush’s campaign finance law violations. His family connections had already given him a distinct advantage over the other Republican candidates, and his Super PAC could still win him the presidency.

#4

Navarro, a longtime public supporter of Jeb Bush’s presidential campaign, has tried to rationalize Jeb’s early disappointing poll numbers and sinking campaign. She is a favorite of TV bookers because of her willingness to criticize Republicans on same-sex marriage and immigration issues.

#5

Despite his life being immersed in America’s ruling class, with seemingly unlimited access to the advice and grooming that should make him a polished statesman, Jeb has often stumbled when speaking in public. His lack of empathy is evident throughout his life.

#6

The Great Recession was especially beneficial for Jeb. He had hauled in more than $29 million since leaving the Florida governor's mansion in 2007. He also profited from investments in Abbey Capital Fund, which was headquartered in the Cayman Islands and Malta, locales often used to avoid taxation.

#7

The Republican Party needs to appeal to a wide variety of voters in order to win the presidency in 2016. The conservative Republican voters who stayed home in 2008 and 2012 because they felt that McCain and Romney weren't conservative enough would certainly stay home in 2016 if Jeb Bush is the candidate.

#8

Jeb’s lifelong desire for power and wealth was evident at an early age. He was a heavy drug user, and he used his family name to get away with it.

#9

There is evidence that Jeb Bush was involved in the cocaine trade. He was a pot dealer at Andover, and it is rumored that he was also a cocaine dealer and user.

#10

I was told that George Herbert Walker Bush covered up the arrests of his three sons for cocaine possession in Houston in 1992. The trips to Panama happened as well, of this I have no doubt.

#11

A lobbyist in Tallahassee said that he had also snorted cocaine with Jeb Bush, whom he described as a habitual user.

#12

Jeb’s stance on drugs is extremely contradictory. While he was governor of Florida, he opposed the legalization of medical marijuana, despite having used and sold illicit drugs without consequence. He would be a nightmare as president for drug policy reform.

#13

Moderate Republicans are tired of the Republican Party’s lack of conviction on key issues like immigration. Donald Trump’s early lead in the polls proves that there is widespread support for enforcement of immigration laws.

#14

Many people in the Beltway elite, including Republican Party bosses and corporate donors, support Jeb Bush because of his connections to the Hispanic culture. However, his wife Columba was born an illegal immigrant in 1953 and lived as such for most of her life.

#15

Despite having a wife who was opposed to the public life of a politician, Jeb pursued his career. He even converted to Catholicism to further distanced himself from the roots of his family legacy.

#16

There have been rumors of Jeb having a troubled marriage since he became governor. His alleged affair involved Cynthia Henderson, who was appointed by Jeb as secretary of the Department of Management Service in 1999. She did not have any proper experience or credentials, but Jeb was forced to publicly deny the affair.

#17

George H. W. Bush, who was president during the time Jeb worked for the CIA, hired him to work for the international division of the Texas Commerce Bank. This allowed Jeb to work closely with the CIA.

#18

After leaving Venezuela in 1980, Jeb hooked up with Cuban-American Miami businessman Armando Codina, who helped him make millions of dollars in the real estate business. Jeb was able to arrange the sale of high-priced condos and mansions in the Miami area to his elite friends in Venezuela.

#19

A Jeb Bush presidency would ensure the CIA's continued control of the White House. George W. Bush maintained the CIA's control over the presidency for eight years, and before him, Bill Clinton, who had his own links to the CIA's contra-cocaine network through Mena, Arkansas.

#20

The SL Crisis was one of the largest thefts by the banking industry on the American taxpayer. While H. W. Bush was president during this time, two of his children were involved in the fraud and abuse of the private sector, and neither faced any legal consequences.

#21

The SL Crisis was just a mention in H. W. ’s presidency, but with Neil escaping jail and Jeb profiting off the bailouts, the Bushes proved that their government service is an illicit and lucrative business.

#22

The U. S. government is the largest spender, creditor, and debtor in the history of the world. The president is largely responsible for a behemoth which spends $4 trillion a year. Washington is a cesspool notorious for its waste, fraud, and abuse.

#23

As a member of the lobbying team for IMC, I participated in multiple conference calls along with the future governor of Florida. Jeb played a heavy hand in lobbying HHS for the valuable waivers. In 1987, Jeb helped spirit Recarey out of the country so he could avoid a national scandal.

#24

After Bush left office in 2007, he set out to make money. He joined over a dozen corporate boards and a consulting firm that would rake in $33 million by the time he started running for president. He made that money the Bush way: by leveraging family ties and exploiting relationships forged through old-fashioned political patronage.

#25

One of Bush's top fundraisers and patrons, Randy Best, pitched Jeb on getting into the for-profit education business in 2005. Bush helped Best launch a new company called Academic Partnerships, which manages online classes for universities.

#26

In 1989, Jeb formed a partnership with J. David Eller, the CEO for Moving Water Industries, to market MWI’s pumps overseas. In 1992, Bush-El secured $74. 3 million from the Ex-Im to sell MWI water pumps to Nigeria.

#27

While Jeb Bush was governor of Florida, he was paid by Lehman Brothers to manage the state’s $250 million pension fund. Lehman was put in charge of $1. 2 billion of Florida’s money in 2005 and 2006. Jeb earned millions once he left the governor’s mansion.

#28

Obamacare has made premiums and costs skyrocket for many Americans. However, the insurance companies, drug companies, and hospital chains have all reported record profits.
