GEORGE BUSH

Name: George Herbert Walker Bush Age: 66 Eyes: Beady Blue
Birthplaces: Milton, MA, Houston, TX, U.S.A. Height: 6'2” Hair & Mind: Fading
Aliases: Ronald Reagan, Manuel Noriega, Whimp Weight: 205 Lbs. Race: Rich White Male

MURDER — TERRORISM — DRUGS

¢ Bush is wanted for the murders of 9,000 Nicaraguan civilians, including 400 children. Bush was a conspirator in the Reagan Administration's dirty war
against Nicaragua. The illegal airlifting of weapons to the Contra terrorists was financed in part through the sale of cocaine smuggled back into our
country in the same planes. These weapons shipments were also funded by sales of arms to Ayatollah Khomeini’s Iran. Meanwhile Bush served as
Chairman of both the National Narcotics Border Interdiction System and the President's Task Force on Combatting Terrorism. Recently, Bush has suc-
cessfully obstructed the investigation and prosecution of Iran-Contra Affair crimes, such as those of Joseph Fernandez, the ex-ClA station chief in Costa
Rica.

¢ Bush is wanted for conspiracy in the brutal murders of six Jesuit priests by a U.S. paid hit squad in El Salvador on Nov. 16, 1989.

¢ He is wanted for questioning in the “under-reported” deaths and disappearances of hundreds of Panamanian civilians on or about the night of Dec. 20,
1989. He is responsible for assault on an unarmed populace with high tech terror weapons, such as Stealth bombers and laser weapons.

ARMED ROBBERY — COVER UP

¢ After his conversion to Reaganomics, Bush participated in the largest peacetime military buildup in U.S. history, while slashing spending on housing,
education, health care, and environmental protection. He has supported the wholesale export of American industries, capital, and decent paying jobs,
often to countries with repressive governments. While presiding over the decline in real wages of American workers, Bush has increased his own net
worth, derived originally from offshore oil drilling, to more than two million dollars.

¢ With the help of the mainstream U.S. media, he has covered up the role of the CIA and the Mafia in looting now defunct Savings and Loan Institutions
during the 1980's. Bush’s son, Neil Bush, was a director of Silverado Springs of Denver, one of the failed S&L’s linked to the CIA. Estimates of the costs to
American taxpayers of the S&L bailout/ripoff are as high as 500 billion dollars.

¢ With the support of the Reagan Supreme Court, Bush is currently attempting to rob American women of their right to choice.

BAD TASTE

¢ While supporting Reagan’s anti-affirmative action attacks on people of color in the U.S., Bush has applauded fascist Third World dictatorships that
have trampled on human rights worldwide. In 1981 Bush told former Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos, “We love your adherence to democratic prin-
ciples —and to the democratic process.”

* Despite his claim to have “had sex” with Ronald Reagan (or was it merely “setbacks?”) Bush and the Republican Party are thoroughly homophobic.
They have done little to fight the AIDS epidemic or alleviate the suffering it has caused.

¢ While regularly referring to himself as an “environmentalist,” Bush has aided and abetted big business polluters such as EXXON, hindered efforts to
curb CFC and “greenhouse” gas emissions, continued potentially disastrous U.S. irrigation policies, and refused to halt the testing and development of
nuclear weapons or clean up the radioactive mess this industry has created.

¢ Bush has repeatedly subjected the American people to public appearances by Dan Quayle.

CAUTION

¢ Despite his whimpish preppy demeanor, Bush is heavily armed and must be considered extremely dangerous. He served as Director of the CIA in 1976.
He has known ties to the ultra right wing “secret team” of current and ex-CIA operatives who have carried out brutal campaigns against popular
movements from Viet Nam to Chile. He has strong connections in the ruling sectors of corporate America.

¢ Bush can be apprehended and stopped only by the organized and spirited opposition of the American people,
