Thanks to LingMachineGo for pointing me to David Icke’s reaction to the accession of the Shrub: Another Shapeshifter in the White House: ” The Bush inauguration marks the start of the massive push by the Illuminati to further their agenda for a
global fascist state. You will see this clearly unfolding in the next 24 months and, as usual, watch what
they do, not what they say. The Bush administration will be a cold, calculating, vicious, period of human
history. I know people who have met the Shrub during his period as Governor of Texas and cold,
calculating, and vicious, as well as staggeringly unintelligent, are words they chose to describe him. But
those who will be dictating the actions of his presidency make him look like a puppy dog. Or maybe
lapdog would be more appropriate.” And here is Icke’s self-justification.
