At one point, the board of BBH was something like 70% (Skull &)
Bonesmen. Of course, all three Bushes are Bonesmen <>.

Look at his admin. In their book The Global Political Economy of
Israel, Jonathan Nitzan and Shimshon Bichler argue that there's a
weapondollar-petrodollar axis in politics that thrives on oil

from the Wall Street/high tech capital that dominates the Dems, and
had their way in the Clinton years.
