Pete Brewton teaches journalism and law at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas. The author of the bestseller The Mafia, CIA and George Bush, he is an award-winning journalist with 15 years reporting experience at the Houston Chronicle and the Houston Post. He practiced law in Houston for five years.

James Addison Baker, III (born April 28, 1930) is an American attorney, politician, political administrator, and political advisor.

He served as the Chief of Staff in President Ronald Reagan's first administration and in the final year of the administration of President George H. W. Bush. Baker also served as Secretary of the Treasury from 1985-1988 in the second Reagan administration, and Secretary of State in the George H. W. Bush administration. He is also the namesake of the James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy at Rice University in Houston, Texas.

Baker served in the United States Marine Corps (19521954), attaining the rank of First Lieutenant and later rising to Captain in the United States Marine Corps Reserve.

From 1957 to 1969, and then from 1973 to 1975 he practiced law at the law firm of Andrews & Kurth.

Baker's first wife, the former Mary Stuart McHenry, was active in the Republican Party, working on the Congressional campaigns of George H. W. Bush. Originally Baker had been a Democrat, although he had been too busy trying to succeed in a competitive law firm to worry about politics and he considered himself apolitical. His wife's influence and enthusiasm led Baker to both politics as a career and the Republican Party. He was a regular tennis partner with Bush at the Houston Country Club in the late 1950s. When Bush decided to run for the U.S. Senate in 1969, he supported Baker's decision to run for the Congressional seat he was vacating. However, Baker changed his mind about running when his wife was diagnosed with cancer. She died of breast cancer in February 1970.

Bush then encouraged Baker to become active in politics to deal with the grief, something Bush had done when his daughter, Pauline Robinson (19491953), died of leukemia. Baker became chairman of Bush's Senate campaign in Harris County. Though Bush lost to Lloyd Bentsen in the election, Baker continued in politics, becoming the Finance Chairman of the Republican Party in 1971. The following year, he was selected as the Gulf Coast Regional Chairman for the Richard Nixon presidential campaign. In 1973 and 1974, Baker returned to the full time practice of law at Andrews & Kurth.

He served as Undersecretary of Commerce under President Gerald Ford in 1975 and ran Ford's unsuccessful re-election campaign in 1976. In 1978, Baker ran unsuccessfully to become Attorney General of Texas, losing the election to future Governor Mark White.

  • WORLD-WIDE, JUDICIALLY-ABUSIVE, DECEPTIVE-MANIPULATION.....

  • Charles Keating built the Phoenician Hotel and in the Confrence rooms, Hidden Microphones were placed to "Allow Hospitality Services to Know when Refreshements were needed following the end of some speeches".

    Were these Hidden Mics used for their MOB to get insider Trading info of big firms holding meetings at lavish resort?

    The Jig is Up, Chuck.

    You Crooks of the New World Odor are Going Down.

    Treason Trials for Bush's, Obama, and the CIA Henchmen.

    Prescott Bush even Stole Geranimo's Bones

  • Alex jones is connected to Adnan Khashoghi

  • The Mafia are all JEWISH Families. And they tell you lies. Because you're Goyim. They made your country, they control it, and they will destroy it.

  • Has CIA sunk to the lowest level of morel behavior and rationalizing it with ideals of national security? If the CIA thinks it is fighting evil have they chosen to fight fire with fire? You can fight fire with fire, but if it's your home you use water. The CIA is for-bayed from operating inside the USA. It is in their charter the document that allows them to exist. If they violate that then they are outside the law. Is the CIA a threat to national security to the American way of life?

  • very interesting. whenever i see a meteoric career occurring, and the individual lacks actual intellectual prowess, there is usually a dark story behind the scenes. most people in America dont have the skids greased for them.

  • Ghorbanifar and Adnan Khashoghi meet in Spain in 1985 for deal.

  • I am against the Bush and Obama messianics. Obama is playing ball big time with the same people. A Bush type is returning to satisfy the vengefulness of the Red State outlaws. I have been listening to these planned and controllable "unveilings" of improprieties for over 30 yrs. It has accomplished the task. Totally callousing the American public into believing there will ever be any justice served. Mesmerization via trickle down honesty. All Bullshit.
