The Hidden History of the Bush Family (Mesmerism, Illuminism, Zionism)

“American Christian Zionism goes back long before Herzl. George Bush, namesake and ancestor of George Bush, wrote a Zionist pamphlet in the 19th Century… [Abraham] Lincoln called them (Americans) the almost chosen people.” – Michael S. Kochin, professor at Tel Aviv University

Former Israeli diplomat to the United States Michael B. Oren wrote a book about the relationship between the USA and the Middle East spanning from George Washington to George W. Bush. In this comprehensive text he mentions that Professor George Bush (1796-1859), the ancestor and namesake of two American presidents, wrote a Zionist pamphlet in 1844 advocating for the return of Jews to Israel from a Christian Restorationist (Swedenborgian) perspective.

Professor George Bush was educated at Dartmouth and Princeton before he began teaching Hebrew and Oriental literature at New York University where he would publish works on biblical exegesis and the Hebrew language:

George Bush was the cousin of Obadiah Bush who was the great-great grandfather of the 41st president. It is worth noting that the name Obadiah refers to the shortest book of the bible, which is entirely about the future destruction of Edom in the final end-of-days battle, the war of Gog and Magog. The symbolism of this name should strike a chord to anyone aware of its implications, especially since his distant relative George H.W. Bush would later be nicknamed Magog.

It is also worth mentioning that the biblical Book of Obadiah depicts the kingdom of Edom as an eagle, a symbol that has remained consistent from ancient Rome to modern America.

Bush’s work focused on the eschatology of ‘The Millennium’, which he felt was not at hand yet but was coming ever closer. Interestingly enough, his descendants occupied the white house both before and after the turn of the millennium in the year 2000. Perhaps it is a coincidence that the permanent presence of the US military in the middle east was initiated by George H.W. Bush and massively accelerated under the leadership of his son.

Bush also wrote a book called ‘The Life of Muhammad’ which depicted the Prophet of Islam as a fraud and generally spoke of Islam as the enemy of Christianity and the Jews. This is another uncanny parralel considering the mainstreaming of Islamophobia under the presidencies of his great-great grandnephews.

Bush’s spiritual interests were not limited to the Bible, he was also a scholar of Mesmer and Swedenborg, both whose teachings fall under the category of Illuminism. Franz Anton Mesmer was a member of the Bavarian Illuminati whose teachings were a major influence on the secret societies and occult practices of the following centuries. Emanuel Swedenborg was a Christian mystic polymath and a political intelligence officer whose connections spanned far and wide.

Yale

Professor George Bush never attended Yale but his progeny would end up forming a particular loyalty to the institution in the following century. The first Bush to attend Yale was Prescott Bush, who was a bank director who managed the finances of Fritz Thyssen, a German industrialist and Nazi collaborator. His son George H.W. Bush, director of the CIA and 41st President of the United States, would follow Prescotts lead by attending Yale where he was initiated Skull & Bones and given the nickname Magog, referring to the eschatological war of Gog & Magog, which mutually consumes the enemies and rivals of Israel.

Skull & Bones

In the election following 9/11 and the beginning of the War on Terror George Bush and John Kerry competed for the presidency that would require carrying out the operations initiated by the Bush’s in the Middle East. Both George Bush and John Kerry were initiates of Skull & Bones, an exclusive clandestine society operating out of Yale. The founder of Skull & Bones received his inspiration from the university secret societies of Germany, a category that once included the most infamous secret society of all time, the Bavarian Illuminati.

Illuminati

Masonic historian Alistair Lees in his groundbreaking research reveals that the role of the German Illuminati was planted in America in the days of the revolution. Thomas Jefferson was initiated into this American Illuminati, whose original headquarters were destroyed in the revolutionary war, after which the Illuminati relocated its headquarters to Yale, where it changed its name to Phi – Beta – Kappa Society, which still exists today.

This same book by Aleister Lees goes into great detail about Swedenborgian Freemasonry and its affiliation with the Illuminati and its revivals. This Masonic order was based on the teachings of Swedenborg, of whom the original George Bush was a follower.

Shabtai

While Time Magazine has described Shabtai as “a secret society of a different stripe”, it is not secret in the same way as the other groups we are discussing. An article by Israeli newspaper Haaretz states;

“Like Yale’s famous secret societies, Shabtai is elite and exclusive, but unlike the infamous Skull & Bones or Scroll & Key or Book & Snake, it is not clandestine.”

While the club claims to be an open forum for discussing ideas, it has drawn criticism for hosting far right Israeli politicians like Ben-Gvir and promoting Zionist politics. Another article states of Shabtai that:

“The club will continue to bring global Jewish and non-Jewish leaders to “engage and help groom a new generation of leaders drawn from the campus’ best and brightest, with a commitment to service and making the world a better place”

Shabtai (שבתאי) means Saturn in Hebrew, a planet of deep occult significance. This name is most commonly associated with Shabtai Tzvi, the Messiah of the Sabbatian religion. I have discussed the significance of Saturn and Sabbatianism in other articles.

The name Shabtai does not inherently imply tribute to Shabtai Tzvi. The name has traditionally been given to men born on Shabbat, although this tradition became much less common after the controversy of Shabtai Tzvi. That being said, it is worth noting that the Mezuzah on the door of the Shabtai lodge depicts a gazelle, a symbol of the Messiah. The Hebrew word for Gazelle is ‘Tzvi’ (צבי), the Last name of Shabtai Tzvi. While it could be a coincidence, one with the eyes to see will notice both ‘Shabtai’ and ‘Tzvi’ before even walking through the entrance of this elite society.
