George Herbert Walker Bush

“(Bush's term as CIA Director ended just before the inauguration in January 1977.)”

“According to celebrated civil rights attorney Daniel Sheehan, before Carter's January inauguration he sought a meeting with the then Director of the CIA, George Herbert Walker Bush, later the 41st president, but the CIA Director flatly refused to give the president-elect a briefing on UFOs telling Carter he had no 'need to know'.”

“but the CIA Director flatly refused to give the president-elect a briefing on UFOs telling Carter he had no 'need to know'.”

“Bush suggested the incoming president instead seek a briefing through the Congressional Research Service.”

“George Herbert Walker Bush announced the Space Exploration Initiative on the occasion of the Twentieth Anniversary of the Apollo 11 Manned Moon Landing.”

“His announcement at a Smithsonian Air and Space Museum ceremony honoring the Apollo 11 crew caught many by surprise, since as late as a few days before the ceremony reporters were convinced that Bush would not be announcing any new space programs.”

“In fact, it was the first major policy initiative of his Presidency.”

“This was a considerably more modest proposal than the so-called "Space Exploration Initiative" proposed by his father, President George H. W. Bush, in 1989. That program had met with resistance over its large budgetary requirements and was subsequently killed by his successor, President Clinton.”

“First, he re-created the National Space Council, an agency that had once been led by Lyndon Johnson when he was Vice President.”

“Bush appointed his own Vice President, the much-maligned Dan Quayle, to head the Council and make recommendations on executing the President's vision.”

“The President was pushing hard for the Initiative with little luck”

“"Richard Hoagland is [also] the man who managed to convince the President to state that a return to Mars is one of our goals..."”

“The producers of the political program Crossfire specifically wanted Hoagland, of all the possible NASA Mars experts they could have called upon, to present "the case for Mars," following the President's surprise announcement on the steps of the National Air and Space Museum earlier that day.”

“the first President Bush overtly stated on at least one occasion his view that the work of Richard C. Hoagland (and the then-"Mars Mission") was a primary impetus behind his SEI program.”

“It was clear to us that these three separate lines of evidence—the Crossfire invitation, the Klineberg statement quoting the President and the Program poster—all pointed to Bush 41 being not only familiar with Hoagland's work, but inspired by it.”

“The commission for the painting came through the President's [George Herbert Walker Bush] office via Boeing Aerospace, with whom I was working for at the time (1985 or so?)”

“thought that what was needed was an image to help sell the program to the American people as well as Congress”

“his science advisers suggested it would not be prudent to attempt a selling of the program with an image that suggested there was once intelligent life on Mars”

“To ensure that there is no doubt that this was connected to the President's "space vision," the poster also includes a quote from President Bush explaining "Why Mars?"”

“In 1997, the brother of one of the authors, Dave Bara, was walking through an office area of the Boeing Company in Renton, Washington, which had just been vacated by a relocated organization. On the wall of an abandoned cubicle, he spotted a poster that he instantly knew to be highly significant. It was from the 1989 White House Mars Exploration Program proposed by then-President Bush.”

“it has come to my attention that the image is used to bolster claims of the President's Nazi heritage, and that, being both a Mason and a Nazi, the only reason he wanted to send men to Mars was to return the Brotherhood back to the old stomping grounds of the Aryan race”

“He seemed anxious to dispel any notion that the Bush administration supported his work, even though he submitted a detailed proposal before starting the actual painting.”

“Richards had attained national prominence at the 1988 Democratic National Convention by mocking his father, the first President Bush.”

“After being left in power by Bush 41 at the conclusion of the first Gulf War, Saddam had sponsored and financed several attacks against the United States, including the first World Trade Center bombing.”

“He had attempted to assassinate Bush 41 in 1993, and George W. Bush was determined to take him down.”

“we know that Dr. Eric Davis has recently spoken about a conversation he had with President Bush senior. And he says that Bush told him that when he became director of the he was briefed about a landing at Holloman”

“he was briefed about a landing at Holloman, not with the president, but with a number of uniformed officers and CIA officers that had taken place and that a non-human individual of Nordic appearance had emerged from a craft and had met with these individuals at Holloman.”

“i have never been persuaded myself that any president has had a meeting but i do believe um that uh what bush um told eric davis is likely to be true”

“As far as I know, the following US presidents were briefed in some way: Truman, Eisenhower, JFK, LBJ, Carter, Reagan, George H. W. Bush, and Trump.”

“Nixon, Carter, Reagan, Bush, all seem to have received briefings.”

“Clinton and Obama coming into office really weren't connected to the establishment of the United States. They really were in many ways outsiders who'd started to move inside. ... But that's very different to Reagan, to Nixon and to all of these kind of the Bush family.”

“George H.W. Bush, for sure, insider. No doubt about that.”
