Hi all; <font color=green>Finally, a direct connection between George W. Bush and the "Jessica's Well" propaganda website, which is running like heck from the light, just like cockroaches when you flip on the light, LOL.<font color=black> "Kultursmog" is a website that recently put out on the web a document purporting to describe the US occupation of Germany as difficult. The article was linked into this thread here: #reply-19413277 . Here's the Kultursmog website: kultursmog.com Challenged by Brumar89, to find a connection between the above article and the Bush Administration (see #reply-19413418 ), I searched the whois files and determined that both Kultursmog.com and Jessicaswell.com were run by the Heck Exploration company out of Midland Texas. The information showing this is here: #reply-19415701 . The Heck Exploration website is rather terse, it includes only the title of their company: Heck Exploration Company heckex.com Amusingly, this is a change from what they had yesterday, which also included their address and phone number, which is how I connected it to Jessica's Well: Heck Exploration Company P.O. Box 50610 Midland, Texas 79710 (432) 683-8050 216.239.57.104 It's kind of amusing that the slimy bastards have already been warned of my posting and have already tried to hide their calumny by removing the incriminating information from their website. I guess they didn't know about google caches, BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! LOL!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Hey, you left wing blogs, better save a copy of that google cache before they get to it too! So at this point in time, I've shown that Heck Exploration is behind a propaganda attack against foes of Bush's policies in Iraq. That's bad enough, but I have not yet shown that Bush has any connection to Heck. Okay. Here it is. As governor, Bush appointed Linden Heck Howell to the Texas Committee for the Humanities: ... To be a member of the Texas Committee for the Humanities for a term to expire December 31, 1997: Linden Heck Howell, 113 Lost Creek Drive, Portland, Texas 78374. Mrs. Howell will be replacing Martha Landsman of San Antonio whose term expired. ... Issued in Austin, Texas, on September 17, 1996. TRD-9613594 George W. Bush Governor of Texas texinfo.library.unt.edu Linden Heck Howell was, at the time, a VP at Heck Exploration, and also held high posts in the Republican party: TCH Mourns the Loss of Linden Heck Howell ... Howell served as Executive Director of the Nevada Republican Party, as the first woman to hold the position of Political Director for the Republican National Committee, as Majority Counsel for the Senate Judiciary Committee subcommittee on Regulatory Reform, as Legislative Director for Senator John Tower, and as Assistant to the Director of the Department of Labor Office of Federal Contract Compliance. She also served as Executive Director of the Center for Office Technology, and as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Environmental Research Information, Inc., an environmental research firm in New York. She and her husband, J. William Howell, formed Howell Associates and moved to Hanoi to work with IBM and other corporate clients after the U.S. resumed trade relations with Vietnam. The couple returned to Portland, Texas, in 1995, and she became vice president and general counsel for Heck Exploration Company, Inc. of Midland. She developed a love for sailing and became an expert navigator. ... public-humanities.org -- Carl

Bilow, you're amazing. There isn't any propaganda here. It's just an article from 1946 which is reminiscient of recent articles about Iraq. The article is legit. And it is irrelevant who posted it- whether man or woman, Republican or other, in the oil biz or not, what city they live in, etc. A direct connection between the source of your propaganda and the Republican party. Is that good enough, or do you want me to continue digging up links? There are tens of millions of Republicans so no this doesn't impress me at all. If you really want to disparage the article as Bush administration propaganda put out by a "administration hack", just find something which explains how the Bush administration got Life to publish the Dos Passos piece back in '46. There's your task, Bilow, go for it, fella. he natural inference of the article being dredged up from 1946 is that it was the general belief, back at that time, that the occupation of Germany was a "quagmire", just like the occupation of Iraq is nowadays. This is historically untrue. To come to that conclusion, one has to restrict ones research to only a few fringe articles by fringe authors. Finally, you deign to discuss the article. Well, its hard for either of us to know how widespread the viewpoint expressed by Dos Passos was in 1946 as neither of us has a memory of those times. As to it being a fringe article by a fringe author - you're welcome to your opinion, but it was published in Life, which was a mainstream publication read by millions, and Dos Passos was a prominent author.
