Can anyone tell me if this source is at all reliable?

Voice of the White House September 1, 2005
TBR News.org - September 2, 2005
(snip)
One man was giving an overview of the situation to a group of his friends. The
speaker was an undersecretary of an important department, well-liked by Bush and
often in the White House to consult. The others ranged from an academic
economist whose writings can be seen in a right wing paper and a number of
Washington-based businessmen, all of whom are active and heavy contributors to
the Bush White House.
(snip)
It is well known here that the Bush family and many of the top advisers at the
White House are racists but instead of detesting Jews, in this case, they all
detest blacks.
(snip)
In that way, we were told (and I was not the only person in the dining room who
heard all this), this served to "chase out the nigg..." and permit
Bush-supporting businessmen from buying up the soon-to-be condemned sodden
houses for five cents on the dollar from friendly insurance companies (which one
of them was a CEO of) and put up an enlarged and very profitable combination of
industrial park and office building section. The money for this would,
naturally, come from government grants which a terrified Congress (Mid Term
elections are coming) had just voted for and the contracts to demolish the
wrecked low-income slums would go, as a no-bid contract, to another stellar Bush
supporter.
(snip)

----I guess there is no way to tell if this is 100% true or not but I'd just like to know if anyone is familiar with the source of the story... Thanks for any input.

2. No they are not.
They are a neo-nazi group. They were pushing a story a while back about under reported dead in Iraq. 10,000 or so. Don't believe anything they say.

3. tbrnews is a radical-right website with an antisemitic agenda.
An individual article may be legit, but the overall hidden agenda is not to be trusted. I believe DU has effectively banned use of that site.

The "tbr" in "tbrnews" stands for "The Barnes Review", a publication basically dedicated to preaching that Nazi Germany was the good guy in WWII. The editors of tbrnews do indeed hate w, but they hate him because they feel the Iraq war is a Jewish plot that he has facilitated.

If you see an article that makes sense from that link, the best thing to do might be to trace it back its original source and try to determine where that souce is coming from.

4. Go to this link HOW BUSH MADE HIS MONEY
and you will know it's true. Ann Richards has continually spoken about how crooked these guys are. My family is from Texas. Many still live there and they say he's so dirty is makes your skin crawl.

7. sounds a little off-kilter
but my friends keep suspecting that NOLA will become supergentrified into a fancy town of million-dollar townhouses and half-million-dollar condos, with no room for poor folks.

From their "About Us" Section:

What is TBRnews?

TBRnews is a compendium of political articles, many gathered from prestigious foreign sources as well as from American news web postings.

The name, TBRnews, originally came from the Barnes Review magazine and the site began as a listing of historical books.

Under different management, it eventually progressed to a twice-weekly posting covering national and international news.

We have been accused of being neo-Nazis, Communists, anti-Semites, Christian haters, certainly not Bush friendly and guilty of treason, aggravated mopery, theft of mattress tags from cheap motels, chronic jaywalking and disturbers of the political peace.

I run this site all by myself with a little help from various friends, both inside and outside of the Beltway.

The articles not otherwise credited are usually written by myself although I do not take credit for them. The articles speak for themselves and I do not believe in beating my own drum as so many other journalists seem to enjoy doing. The message is always important; not so the messenger.

I try to answer reasonable mail and encourage the reading public to submit articles of interest. I am known to publish pieces that I do not personally agree with but which I feel are well-written and worth reading.

Contrary to the hysterical views of rabid trailer park Bush supporters, I was not suckled by a werewolf and I am not a member of the far left. In point of fact, I am a very disillusioned moderate Republican whose family were bankers, brokers and CEOs of various nice companies.

There does not seem to be much moderation left after the Bush people finished polarizing the electorate.

We also put out a wonderful electronic journal every Friday. It costs five dollars a month and one can easily subscribe, or unsubscribe, via PayPal at any time. (click here) The Journal contains more serious articles and at the present time, we have slightly over 900 subscribers. We do not take advertisements because we enjoy going after firms like WalMart with its wonderful community spirit and superior employment policies.

If we took advertising, we would be in the identical position of most major American media; right in the pocket of the advertisers. Large corporations advertise in papers. This is what makes a profit for the papers (and for television.) Large corporations, in this era, are active and cash-contributing Republicans.

The conclusions are obvious here.
