  • Neil Bush's Massive Usa Pedophile Network
    NEIL BUSH'S MASSIVE USA PEDOPHILE NETWORK Neil Mallon Bush 4 South West Oak Drive Unit 1 Houston, TX 77056-2063 Phone numbers: 713-552-0882 713-850-1288 The brother of George W. Bush, Neil is another evil Satanist running the biggest pedophile network in the USA currently. He MUST be stopped, he MUST be punished, since he (and lots of other high-level Satanists) operates his crime empire with impunity and always has had immunity from prosecution by the FBI and the rest of the FEDS. Many, many other little kids will suffer INTOLERABLE, EXCRUCIATING sexual agony and torture that their little bodies are not ready for, and will be scared and traumatized for the rest of their lives because of sick perverted fun these monsters enjoy by inflicting on these innocent little children, some of which are even used in secret Satanic sacrifices, and are brutally murdered, all for the sickening pleasure of these evil perverts. All of the Senate, and just about all of the Congress, and Federal Attorneys, and high-ranking military officers are involved in this Illuminati death cult. If you just sit there doing nothing, nothing will be stopped. Check out what happens at your local Masonic Temple or Scottish Rite Temple between tomorrow (Halloween) and November 1st. Every sheriff department and every police department has an imbedded agent who's job it is to get arrested and charged Satanists, and Freemasons off the hook, having their charges dropped quickly once they find out these criminals are a Satanist or a Mason. People Neil may know Ned Bush Pierce G Bush Elizabeth D Andrews Ashley Bush REPUBLICAN PARTY PEDOPHILES LIST * Republican mayor Thomas Adams of Illinois charged with 11 counts of disseminating child pornography and two counts of possession of child pornography.

    ARCHIVES RECORD RG014 Nebraska. Nebraska State Historical Society & film Records: 1878-current Cubic ft.: 165.5 Approx. # of Items: 350 boxes and oversize HISTORICAL NOTE The Nebraska State Historical Society is the oldest state institutions organized as the Nebraska Historical and Library Association in 1867. On September 25, 1878 this association was reorganized as the Nebraska State Historical Society. The University of Nebraska provided space to house the records and property of the Society, and the first annual meetings were held at the University. In 1883 the Nebraska State Historical Society was designated a state institution and the legislature made an appropriation to carry on Society activities. Because of this appropriation, the Society was able to begin publishing the first volume of Transactions and Reports. The Society is governed by a twelve- member executive board elected by members and three who are gubernatorial appointees. It is assisted by the Nebraska State Historical Society Foundation which solicits and accepts gifts of real or personal property for the use and benefit of the Nebraska State Historical Society and gives financial support to many of its programs. The first Secretary of the Nebraska State Historical Society was Dr. Samuel Aughey of the University of Nebraska, who served until 1885 when Professor George E. Howard assumed this position. Howard remained Secretary and Superintendent of the Society until 1891 when he was succeeded by Howard W. Caldwell, also of the University of Nebraska. A staff of permanent employees was retained during Caldwell's administration and the Society began more active work in the collection and preservation of materials relating to Nebraska's history.
