George Bush: The Unauthorized Biography

Apocalypse--war in its modern nuclear dress, hunger haunting half the human race, and
disease--will the gaunt and forbidding Horsemen become Park Ranger for the two-legged
animal called man?''


Draper collaborated closely with George Bush during the latter's congressional career. As
noted above, Bush invited Draper to testify to his Task Force on Earth Resources and
Population; reportedly, Draper helped draft the Bush-Tydings bill.


Bush felt an overwhleming affinity for the bestial and degraded image of man reflected in
the raving statements of Draper. In September 1969, Bush gave a glowing tribute to
Draper that was published in the cf2 Congressional Record cf1. I wish to pay tribute to a great American,'' said Bush.I am very much aware of the significant leadership that
General Draper has executed throughout the world in assisting governments in their
efforts to solve the awesome problems of rapid population growth. No other person in the
past five years has shown more initiative in creating the awareness of the world's leaders
in recognizing the economic consequences of our population explosion.''


In a 1973 publication, Bush praised the PCC itself for having played a major role in assisting government policy makers and in mobilizing the United States' response to the world population challenge....'' The PCC made no bones about its admiration for Bush; its newsletters from the late 1960s-early 1970s feature numerous articles highlighting Bush's role in the congressional population-control campaign. In a 1979 report assessing the history of Congressional action on population control, the PCC/Draper Fund placed Bush squarely with themost conspicuous activists,'' on population-control issues, and lauded
him for ``proposing all of the major or controversial recommendations'' in this arena
which came before the U.S. Congress in the late 1960s.


Draper's son, William III, has enthusiastically carried out his father's genocidal legacy--
frequently with the help of Bush. In 1980, Draper, an enthusiastic backer of the Carter
administration's notorious cf2 Global 2000 cf1 report, served as national chairman of the
Bush presidential campaign's finance committee; in early 1981, Bush convinced Reagan
to appoint Draper to had the U.S. Export-Import Bank. At the time, a Draper aide, Sharon
Camp, disclosed that Draper intended to reorient the bank's functions toward
emphasizing population control projects.


In 1987, again at Bush's behest, Draper was named by Reagan as administrator of the
United Nations Development Program, which functions as an adjunct of the World Bank,
and has historically pushed population reduction among Third World nations. In late
January of 1991, Draper gave a speech to a conference in Washington, in which he stated
that the core of Bush's ``new world order'' should be population reduction.


Bush was not reluctant to feature anti-black backlash themes in other parts of his political
repertoire. In the wake of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King in April, 1968,
large scale riots and looting broke out in Washington and other cities. Bush was quick to
introduce a bill which provided that any person convicted of breaking the law during civil
disorders would be henceforth prohibited from retaining or getting federal jobs. Bush
