George W.'s uncle, PRESCOTT S. BUSH JR. a former vestryman at a Greenwich, Connecticut Church, apparently inherited his father's predilection for acquiring unusual sources of income.
Prescott specialized in Pacific Rim business development. He worked on an $18-million project to build the Shanghai Country Club, a resort complex with tennis courts and golf course. His partners in the enterprise were a Chinese government organization and Aoki Corporation, a Japanese construction company
For his role in planning the undertaking, Bush was to receive 25% of the profits with no initial outlay, zero risk and an absence of operating costs. ( Hmmmmmm, isn't this suspicious? Have YOU ever been offered a deal like this?)
Prescott played the middleman in a $5-million deal in which 40% of a company in which he held considerable stock and was a senior adviser was sold to West Tsusho, a Tokyo based investment firm, which gave Bush a quarter million dollars for arranging the deal. In some countries, this payment would have been considered a kickback.
Later, Japanese police identified West Tsusho as a Yakuza dominated company. Yakuza is a Japanese Crime syndicate, something like our mafia. Ties were also disclosed between Aoki Corporation, Bush's country-club partners, and this same Japanese crime syndicate.
Although Prescott Bush represented himself as an expert on Asian business affairs, he responded to the Yakuza scandal as if he didn't know that Japan had a Mafia. Bush maintained that he was totally unaware that his Mafia deals were originating from some of the world's most ruthless, virulent mobsters.
A logical question arises: Why didn't he look a little closer? One logical answer could be that: "Dirty money looks pretty good from a distance." "It doesn't hurt that my brother is the President of the United States," said Prescott S. Bush.
When you look closely at the Bush Men and their history, it would appear that any moral fiber they might have, would not hold up their pants. There have been reports of sex, drugs and dirty money that surfaced in connection with some of the Bush Son's and an accusation of sexual misconduct against former president George Bush. But, to be fair, nothing has been proved about the ex president........as of now. |
