In the words of Baker this particular article...
...is the second part of a ten-part series of excerpts from ... Russ Baker’s bestseller, Family of Secrets: The Bush Dynasty, America’s Invisible Government and the Hidden History of the Last Fifty Years.The whole series as well as the book itself might be of interest to those who would like to know much more about the Bush clan which has played important roles in what I often refer to as a "shadow government". Because this series focuses on George H. W. Bush in relation to the assassination of Kennedy, I decided not to re-post the series as a whole because of its narrow focus.
However, I am posting this piece because it provides some excellent details on one clan who have figured prominently in this shadow government. George H. W. Bush, unlike most members, played a more overt role by assuming various official posts in the government. Setting aside this exceptional role, the details on this clan's role in the "directorate" of the shadow government is well described, and thus provides an illustration of many members of this shadow government and their activities related to its construction following WWII.
This construction had definite antecedents in the 1930s as manifested by the activities of the Dies Committee, the FBI under J. Edgar Hoover, the whole right wing establishment that was sympathetic to Nazi Germany before their invasion of Poland, and especially the right-wing attempt to engineer a coup against President F. D. Roosevelt (read The Plot to Seize the White House by Jules Archer).
