IS BUSH NUTS? – THE SEQUEL and other analysis

For your Sunday reading enjoyment.

EXCERPTS FROM THE ARTICLE
Is Bush nuts? Or merely a convincing actor? As his murderous charade crumbles around him, will his fantastic feats of denial hold up? Or will this pretend president crack up - taking the rest of us who knows where?

The Israeli newspaper Haaretz has published transcripts of last year’s negotiating session between Palestinian Prime Minister Abbas, faction leaders from Hamas and other militant groups and America’s latest Action Hero – who stunned everyone present by saying, "God told me to strike at al-Qaeda and I struck them, and then He instructed me to strike at Saddam, which I did, and now I am determined to solve the problem in the Middle East."

INTERVIEW: DR. JUSTIN FRANK

George Bush:
`A Puppet Who Chose
His Puppeteers'

Dr. Justin Frank, the author of Bush on the Couch (see Review), a devastating professional psychoanalytic profile of President George W. Bush, was interviewed on July 26, 2004, by EIR Senior Editor Jeffrey Steinberg. Dr. Frank is a practicing psychoanalyst in Washington, and is on the faculty of the George Washington University Medical School.

EIR: Again, the idea that someone doesn't cure the alcoholism, but just simply stops the drinking, doesn't deal with the underlying issues; is this somebody who could go back to drinking?

Frank: Yes, in fact I think that's one of the reasons why the press walks on egg shells: Nobody confronts him about falling off the couch, nobody confronts him about falling off of his bicycle. People are too afraid to even ask the question. It's one thing to make an assumption—I don't think you should assume that he is drinking again—but you need to be free enough to ask the question; but when you are an alcoholic who's untreated, family members—and I've done a lot of studies of families with alcoholics, and treated a lot—they tiptoe around, and they are afraid to throw their father or their mother back on a drinking binge. And I think that is what the press has done, they're walking on egg shells.

“The Jungian analysis by Paul Levy, of Bush and the culture which maintains him, reaches deep into the American psyche. It should be studied and digested by everyone. If the citizenry would recognize that Bush's egomania is acting out a national illness, we would all be saner. If the US could integrate the "shadow" which Bush projects upon "the axis of evil," perhaps we could achieve world peace and start to solve global problem. A MUST READ.”

THE MADNESS OF GEORGE W. BUSH:

A REFLECTION OF OUR COLLECTIVE PSYCHOSIS

by Paul Levy

George W. Bush is ill. He has a psycho-spiritual dis-ease of the soul, a sickness that is endemic to our culture and symptomatic of the times we live in. It’s an illness that has been with us since time immemorial. Because it’s an illness that's in the soul of all of humanity, it pervades the field and is in all of us in potential at any moment, which makes it especially hard to diagnose. Bush's malady is quite different from schizophrenia, for example, in which all the different parts of the personality are fragmented and not connected to each other, resulting in a state of internal chaos. As compared to the dis-order of the schizophrenic, Bush can sound quite coherent and can appear like such a "regular," normal guy, which makes the syndrome he is suffering from very hard to recognize. This is because the healthy parts of his personality have been co-opted by the pathological aspect, which drafts them into its service. Because of the way the personality self-organizes an outer display of coherence around a pathogenic core, I would like to name Bush's illness ‘malignant egophrenic (as compared to schizophrenic) disease,’ or ‘ME disorder,’ for short. If ME disorder goes unrecognized and is not contained, it can be very destructive, particularly if the person is in a position of power.

In much the same way that a child's psychology cannot be understood without looking at the family system he or she is a part of, George Bush does not exist in isolation. We can view Bush and his entire Administration (Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, Wolfowitz, etc), as well as the corporate, military industrial complex that they are co-dependently enmeshed with, the media that they control, the voters that support them, and ourselves as well, as interconnected parts of a whole system, or a "field." Instead of relating to any part of this field as an isolated entity, it’s important to contemplate the entire interdependent field as the ‘medium’ though which malignant egophrenia manifests and propagates itself. ME disease is a field phenomenon, and needs to be contemplated as such. Bush's sickness is our own.

fixed last link :banghead:

enraging or afraid of not being polite IMHO.

from an European perspective, George has always been considered as at least pathetic. Few European leaders could match him, and probably would never be elected. Not because we can't elect dangerous morons, but at least they can put several sentences together with a correct syntax. Most of them are or were very good speakers, had "class"...

Another mystery is why Blair goes along with him...

If one assumes for a moment - as a thought experiment - that any of the LIHOP/MIHOP allegations are true, then Blair's poodletude suddenly makes sense: British intelligence figured out 9-11, and they know that the Cheney gang means business. So Blair choose to stand on the safe end of the stick.

OTOH, if one refuses to entertain "conspiracies", then Blair's decisions really make little sense.

Let's face it by most of the world's standards Americans are rightfully thought to be boors. Most of us live up to that perception quite well.

Frank: "Yes, in fact I think that's one of the reasons why the press walks on egg shells: Nobody confronts him about falling off the couch, nobody confronts him about falling off of his bicycle. People are too afraid to even ask the question. It's one thing to make an assumption—I don't think you should assume that he is drinking again—but you need to be free enough to ask the question; but when you are an alcoholic who's untreated, family members—and I've done a lot of studies of families with alcoholics, and treated a lot—they tiptoe around, and they are afraid to throw their father or their mother back on a drinking binge.

Do you think the press would walk on egg shells if it was a Democrat in the White House? I think not. I think they'd dig up as much dirt as they could and make up the rest. The "Liberal Press", every time I hear that bullshit coming out of some Slug's mouth I want to slap him blind.

bush IS a sick son of a bitch and I hope to God he doesn't do something REALLY stupid (unfortunately, I think we've only see a fraction of his stupidity) in the future.

Carter was a reaction to Nixon's tricks.

...they are afraid. Lose job & end of young blonde honey & no money for the kids in Ivy League schools...

BRILLIANT book! I read it, and I'm telling you, Bush is utterly predictable to me, as a result.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

If he grinds those teeth or twitches that jaw or blinks, it's just a sign he's jonesing for a toot.

I'm waiting for the day, when he's being interviewed and he starts rubbing his nose, in need of a fix.

Oh, personally, I have always though he still was an active alcoholic.

not only save poor little Bush, but mostly to save the rest of us from this asshole. If his mommy & poppy really loved him, that's what they'd do.

safety of americans - he proved that when he failed to read the pds's warning titled "Bin Laden to attack US. buildings using hijacked aircraft!

An article from last year that described Bush's obscene tantrums behind the scenes, for which he is being prescribed mood altering drugs. I also recall reading an article that described aides finding Bush fully stretched out, face down on the floor of the Oval Office and Bush telling them he was "in prayer". In addition, I think there was a reference in Bob Woodward's book "Bush At War" describing the fact that Bush was supposedly taking an unnamed pharmaceutical under a Doctor's prescription.

Bush Taking Anti-Depressants to Control Mood Swings
By CHB Staff
Jul 28, 2004, 06:13

President George W. Bush is taking anti-depressant drugs to control his erratic behavior, depression and paranoia, Capitol Hill Blue has learned. The prescription drugs, administered by Col. Richard J. Tubb, the White House physician, can impair the President’s mental faculties and decrease both his physical capabilities and his ability to respond to a crisis, administration aides admit privately.
“It’s a double-edged sword,” says one aide. “We can’t have him flying off the handle at the slightest provocation but we also need a President who is alert mentally.”

Tubb prescribed the anti-depressants after a clearly-upset Bush stormed off stage on July 8, refusing to answer reporters' questions about his relationship with indicted Enron executive Kenneth J. Lay.
“Keep those motherfuckers away from me,” he screamed at an aide backstage. “If you can’t, I’ll find someone who can.”

Bush’s mental stability has become the topic of Washington whispers in recent months. Capitol Hill Blue first reported on June 4 about increasing concern among White House aides over the President’s wide mood swings and obscene outbursts. ..."
