Bush with Susan Ralston

Bush with Susan Ralston

Pictures of George and Jack? Not yet, but Time magazine has seen them. In this photo, President Bush shares a cozy handshake with Karl Rove’s personal assistant, Susan Ralston. What’s wrong with this picture? Ralston joined the White House shortly after leaving her job as Jack Abramoff’s secretary. | See the Source Watch file on Ralston.

    Heh, heh, heh. Oh Scottie? You said that the president didn’t know Abramof? Yet his top political aide hires Abramof’s top aide?

    How the worm turns.

    Actually, thereÂ’s much more than this picture that crosses with Jack AbramoffÂ’s story and others associated with him.  I was in a family who joined Organized Crime but this wasnÂ’t any ordinary Organized Crime system!  There are other story-cross-links involving MOB, Organized Crime System and Political Corruption going all the way to the top of our Political System. 

    In the late 80Â’s, my ex-wifeÂ’s (MOB) family wanted me to visit Gus BoulisÂ’s Sandwich business in Florida and meet him for purposes of starting a business, like his, in the Chicago area.  This went on for a while and eventually turned down their offers.  Later in 1996, they again were more than anxious about the success of his Casino Boats.  Their focused interest to account in detail his financial success was the topic of conversation at many family gatherings.  It was more like a feeding frenzy.  However, you would be wise to understand that their criminal communication links went all the way up in our Political System.
