JEB! 2016: Another Bush family effort at selling conceit and neocon imperium as principled national "service"

I'm coming at you, like a second Katrina, and in short order!

The Crown Prince and his retainers have been baiting the media for months with soft sells about JEB!'s "journey" to a "joyful" run for President.  This past Sunday, the Crown Prince outlined his campaign action plan of fraud with a sickeningly typical script from the Bush legacy playbook of self serving mendacity: "If you run with big ideas and then you're true to those ideas, and get a chance to serve and implement them and do it with passion and conviction,you can move the needle...And that's what we need right now in America."

One thing America does not need is a more "humble" war with Iran.  More "passionate" tax cuts on unearned income.  Untaxed repatriation of outsourced profits to fuel a new speculation bubble. Privatization of education to enrich Bush cronies. $5.00 gas as oil prices hit record highs.

One thing America does not need is a third Bush president.

But it looks increasing like those who don't want that are going to have a battle on their hands to prevent it.  According to Chuck Todd at NBC, "it looks like Republican Jeb Bush is moving closer and closer to presidential bid in 2016."

Todd draws this conclusion after weekend media dumps by the Bush faction that JEB! intends to release 250,000 (carefully selected emails) from his days as governor of Florida, and also release an e-book to show (that he, or some of his retainers are techno-literate and, as he put it himself, to show) why "I think I would be a good president."

Good for whom?  Oil companies, financial speculators, war profiteers, Islamic terrorists, crony capitalists, government contractors, employers of cheap labor, and the undocumented workers (about to become legal guest workers, but not citizens) who come looking for those jobs?

He is also leaking to the media all sorts of details about his private equity offshore business dealings with the Chinese and others, recent and ongoing.   Business dealings that would normally be fatal to a presidential candidate.

But JEB! is no ordinary candidate.  He is sending these conflicting signals to the nation to inform them that he is going to buy the White House for himself, his family, and his financial backers and cronies, and there is little anyone can do to stop him.

JEB! is beginning to make his move.  Locking down the money, and revving up the disinformation machine.
