I have been sending out all sorts of interesting material from inside the Monkey Palace to just about everyone. As you are the only ones, so far, who have been publishing it and citing me (others are publishing but not citing) here are some really interesting stories for your readers to chew on. First off, the Moore flick is causing spastic colon inside the Monkey Palace. They have dragged out all kinds of poor souls with a desire to suck the Imperial bum to trash the film but it isn’t going to do any good. And some comments about the President: You speak about King George when referring to Bush. Queen George might be more to the point. Yes, our beloved leader has certain social problems that would not endear him to the Christian Right if they knew.

When he was at Yale, Georgie hung out with drag queens when he wasn’t getting shit faced at the frat house! And this didn’t stop once he left Yale and went to Texas to copycat his dear old dad, the military pilot. George likes to prance on the wild side when no one is looking but you can’t hide that sort of thing for too long. Oh yes, his top aides know all about his “close friendships”, especially with the black drag queen, but talk about it around here you dare not do. He keeps that part of his life away from here, believe me, but most of his top people know about it. One of his very top aides got into a bit of trouble years back at a Church Retreat where he gave some sweet and very young thing some booze and little pills to disinhibit her and was playing CPR with her when someone walked in. That cost our non-hero, a Bush stalwart, a lot of money. The Bush family know all about this but no one else does. If the born-again wierdos knew about this, they never would have voted en bloc for Curious George. They would probably stone him but then, let’s face it, George has been stoned before, many, many times! He’s given up coke, pot, booze and probably drag queens because God doesn’t approve of such things (neither would the voters in Iowa) and he is certain he will be reelected. Once, we were permitted to bring our families to the White House for a social function but my wife, who knows what I do, refused to come and would certainly not bring our young son. He might get Jesus n one ear and a hot tongue in the other. Sick, sick, sick.

One of my more important contacts inside the Monkey Palace here is a relatively innocent clerk-typist who is being courted by a White House security agent. In order to impress her, he has been talking. Unfortunately, someone got wind of his loose mouth and he has been reassigned elsewhere. Apparently, threats against the President's health and safety are reaching incredible proportions. He could not attend his daughter's graduations because of "heightened security concerns" and a correspondent from Italy notes that Bush had massive security while in that country.

The Vatican security people said that they had to strongly increase their measures following strident demands from the Secret Service, when Bush visited the Pope and that the latter viewed Bush as "not quite normal" and a "most unpleasant personage."

Bush apparently tried to bully the Pope who responded in public, admonishing him for his actions and insisting on US withdrawal from Iraq. As is well-known, the Pentecostal President detests Catholics, calling them, among other things, "Whores of Babylon."

The crooked Italian Prime Minister will now permit the stationing of US troops and aircraft in his country (the Turks are fighting shy of this) but asked for, and got, a bribe for doing so. Public sentiment in Italy is strongly opposed to the lunatic and dangerous Bush policies and growing. They do not want another Madrid bombing in their country and Italian papers view Bush as a "disturbed and disturbing" person.

Bush is going to remove troops from South Korea. Washington and Seoul denied this at the time but the NYT ran an article that the 2nd US Division would be transferred to Iraq. There were a number of official qualifiers but the message is clear: If the troops now involved in the occupation of Iraq are not rotated very soon, there is every reason to expect outbreaks of mutiny among their ranks.

We have input from local papers across the country that states that recruitment has dropped off 90%.

On the way to the Georgia conference, Bush said on his plane, and was overheard: ‘I know I am being tested. You know God has placed me in the White House to do his will and now it looks like a bunch of evil Satanists are ganging up on me. They will pay for this, believe me. When I get reelected, and God will guarantee this, these sons of bitches will pay for disputing me. I don’t care what these liberal faggots say about our mistreatment of terrorists. These are idol worshippers and they are trying to hurt us. Can’t the people see that I am protecting them?’ This is a quote taken from a clandestine pocket tape recorder. My source, a senior clerk, told me several times that Bush is becoming so erratic and explosive that his staff is trying to keep out of sight, even in the White House.

Some random comments: Old-time White House staffers have told me recently that Reagan was a very decent and genuinely friendly person. I personally deplore his politics but as a man, he was so far above this one as to be a farce. Rove has been angling for the widow Reagan to stump for George but is beginning to discover that the entire family, and most of the Reagan friends and co-workers are either disgusted by Bush or actually detest him. They see him as a complete phony who uses his hyped up religious views to get votes. [Redacted] told me she thought Bush was really not religious because his “language was so foul around women” that no real Christian would ever think or talk in that manner.

It is very difficult to convey an opinion in print but I will make an effort. George Bush, the President, is one of the meanest, vindictive men I have ever met. Initially, when everything was going his way, the atmosphere of the White House was one of triumph and euphoria but now that Bush’s past deeds are about to crush him, he has reverted to what he was before he stopped boozing: a mean and spiteful person, given to a foul mouth and expressing really vulgar contempt for anyone and everyone who dares to cross him. Example: When Gore gave a strong and effective anti-Bush speech a few months ago, I heard Bush say (at a distance but he doesn’t care who hears his outbursts) “Who the fuck cares what that shithead thinks? They should have stuck him in the funny farm instead of his crazy dumb ass wife.” That is a direct quote. Rove is not much better either. Both of them remind me of a couple of interior decorators swinging their purses at a rival. They both give me the creeps and I am not the only one around the Monkey Palace to think, and now talk, that way.

Considering his gay contacts at Yale (a notorious black drag queen was one of them) Bush is projecting badly here. I think Hannibal Lecter would make a better president than this one.

If the vicious and stupid neo cons who instigated all of this crap are so determined on having their wars, why not draft them and ship them all off to Baghdad? It would be a sheer delight to see a picture of a barbequed Wolfowitz, in bits and pieces, dangling from a bridge.

Here is an interesting conundrum for you and your people to chew on: The Pentagon is hastily moving US troops stationed in Europe and Asia either to Iraq or to nearby areas like Italy. They are moving two divisions from Germany, one from South Korea and others from different areas. Also, main headquarters is being shifted from England to Italy. Now couple this information with the extension of tours of duty of all American military units now on active service, Kerrey’s “backdoor draft” and we have an interesting situation. If Bush wants to withdraw from Iraq within a month, why all of these troop movements? I had dinner with a friend of my wife’s whose husband is a civilian with the DoD and from that source I learn that we are not going to get out of Iraq. Loud proclamations that we are going to leave will be made but at the very last moment, the new puppet régime there, bought and paid for by the US, will make an “impassioned appeal” to Bush to allow American troops to remain “for just a little while” until the fledgling new and democratic Iraqi government can get safely off the ground.

This request, as I understand it, was written in the White House, sent to the Pentagon and forwarded to Iraq. The scenario has been carefully scripted, down to the last “sad but resolute” GI interview from a soldier that really wants to go home but realizes now that our beloved President has the vision and compassion to assist the growth of democracy in an area where it has never been before. Sounds just like something Josef Stalin would order done. No, we are not going to get out of Iraq at all; we will be there for at least five more years according to three sources who ought to know. Recruitment has effectively stopped so the military won’t release those men whose tours are over. They will stay in either until Bush is defeated in November or, if he is reelected, he can institute the draft he and his people have carefully planned for all along.

When I said a few days ago that the witch hunt for leakers has died down, I was wrong. It has just gone underground but is still just as intense. Bush is in a crazy rage about all the resistance he has been facing. He believes very firmly that he is acting on the orders of God Almighty and that anyone, be it the head of the CIA or some rogue reporter, must be punished for daring to thwart the Will of God! Some of the saner staffers here are becoming distinctly edgy and some are thinking of quitting but God help any of them who quit and talk! They have signed agreements to never, never discuss anything that they have learned while in the White House. I said before that Bush was a mean, vicious man and it is starting to slop out of the Presidential bedpan into the halls of power. I said there is something really wrong with this man (I personally think that he is as crazy as a loon…an unscientific diagnosis but given what I have seen and heard of him, not inaccurate) and events will prove me right!
