George W. Bush’s grandmother, Pauline Pierce, was a remarkable woman known for her “extravagant tastes.” In the 1920s, she adventured in France with writers Frank Harris and Aleister “The Wickedest Man in the World” Crowley; this much, we know, is fact.
During this time period, Crowley was dealing in sex magick - really, when wasn’t he? - and in 1924, possibly with Pauline at his side, he underwent “the Supreme Ordeal,” an important and mysterious rite which, clues from his diary suggest, may have been an orgiastic extravaganza of carnal debauchery. That same year, Pauline returned to the United States. In 1925, she gave birth to Barbara Bush. That’s the short version of the story. Read the long one, complete with diary excerpts from Crowley, here (via Jerem).
I want to believe!
EDIT: Aww, as Mr. Dowson points out in the comments, this was an April Fools’ Hoax! And thus, George W. Crowley-Bush rides unicornback into the Sunset of Too-Good-To-Be-True, where feejee mermaids, Cottingley fairies, and Milli Vanilli wave to him in greeting. Granpaw Crowley is there too; he buys him balloons and together they go to watch The Big Donor Show on the telly. All is well.

If this page is to be believed, Crowley’s Supreme Initiation ended on Spring Equinox of 1924. Barbara Bush was born on June 8, 1925. Elapsed time of gestation > 9 mos by a significant margin. Case closed?

That… that…
That actually kinda sorta makes sense.
I think.

I’m glad this turned out phoney…more likely the great beast in the bloodline is some sort of chimpanzee.

Wow. I think I have a new favorite conspiracy theory.

My jaw just dropped.
I think I need to believe this. And also spread it as gospel.

The story on Cannonfire to which you link was published on April 1.
Read the first paragraph — carefully. Take special note of the initial letters of the first four sentences.

Ah well. We’ll always have Bohemian Grove. (Post imminent.)

As is well known, Shia Muslims await the return of the Hidden Imam, Mohammed’s direct descendant, who concealed himself from the victorious Sunnis and just awaits the right moment to return and vanquish evil etc. etc.
A bitter joke circulated among Iranian dissidents some years ago as they watched a twin Shia state grow up in Southern Iraq. This consisted of the observation that the Twelfth Imam had indeed returned at last, and he was none other than George W. Bush.
Could Bush have a place in the eschatology of not one, but two world religions?

still very interesting option in the world suspended between the possible and the impossible although verbalized more than year ago :) the author must have known the use of the magic squares and has obvious talent for conspiracy stories :D
sometimes searching for the truth is the essence of falseness :)
