| It's a club and we ain't in it. |
Artist Richard Bledsoe on George W. Bush
2020 is an appropriate year to indulge in hindsight. I must admit now when looking back, I got played.
I profoundly misunderestimated the true intentions and agenda of a man I once respected. I suspect I was not alone in buying into the delusion. We all can’t blame ourselves too much for being fooled. We were up against a massive psyop of enormous subtlety and resources, and the alternatives we had presented at the time were outright monstrous.
No, the only way we could be at fault would be to deny the reality of what we underwent, now that it’s been revealed.
I now thoroughly distrust George W. Bush. Not for the same reasons that the deranged Leftists who loved to hate him during his presidency did. They were fooled too. They shouldn’t have been melting down over this guy, they should have been celebrating him.
I distrust W because, in many important ways, he advanced Anti-American globalist interests, carrying on his father’s work. In this, Bush was on the same side as the Leftists all along.
W was taking an active part in the same Postmodern schemes that have brought Western Civilization to the brink of collapse. Bush was both controlled and colluding “opposition,” enabling the illusion of choice in the direction of our Republic. He invoked the authentic goodness and power of the USA, and used that as cover while he and all his Uniparty political cronies continued to arrange for our destruction.
It’s hard to reconcile this with my long term impressions of George W Bush, of a flawed but ultimately decent man in a very difficult role. I believed he loved America. Could he really be that good of an actor? Or has he just been able to persuade himself of the inevitability of the totalitarian cabal’s domination, and he was trying to manage our decline as gently as possible?

There were things I disagreed with when George W Bush was president. HIs policy toward Israel probably most notable. For a man who claimed to be a Christian his understanding of what the Bible says about the state of Israel seemed sorely lacking in his policies. His policies on immigration was another and the fact that he never defended himself against easily defended attacks seemed puzzling to me, but he seemed a decent president.
When Barack Obama became president and heaped scorn upon scorn on Bush blaming him and his policies for every ill imaginable he never said a word because after all you shouldn't besmirch the presidency with such controversy. Then the worst, allowing the hard won victories in Iraqi cities with the loss of life and limb of men and women in the military. Obama squandered that sacrifice, that blood, by telling a very ill prepared Iraq they were on their own and pulled out and Bush again didn't say a word. Only Dick Cheney spoke up.
My thought was as a former President he still had a bully pulpit. Surely he would defend the men and women he sent to war and decry the policies that negated their sacrifice and that of their families, but not a word. I remember conversations I had with friends as to why do you suppose W would stay silent, was he feel that strongly about criticizing his successor?
Then Donald Trump ran for president. The showman, the unserious candidate doing all of this to promote his TV show, his projects and his businesses. Then he won, and implemented policies any Republican would be proud of including rebuilding the military and pride in the nation and the flag, and suddenly Bush found his voice and was able to do to Donald Trump what he never was able to do with Barack Obama, he criticized the policies of the man in the revered office of the president. GWB could sidle up to Barack Obama, and was a brother to Bill Clinton, but Donald Trump was dirt under his feet.
I've never heard a good explanation from the man, but I've been rethinking GWB for a long time.
