Update on Bush sexual assault lawsuit in Texas includes my exclusive interview with plaintiff

A Texas woman continues to pursue a lawsuit she filed last December against George W. Bush alleging that the White House inhabitant sexually assaulted her. Contacted by phone at her home in mid-July by this writer, plaintiff Margie Denise Schoedinger said I was one of the first media members to attempt to contact her about the case. In case you're counting, that's more than seven months after she filed the legal brief in a Fort Bend County court.

"I am still trying to prosecute [the lawsuit]," said Schoedinger, a 38-year-old African-American woman who lives in the Houston suburb of Missouri City. "I haven't had a court date set, yet..I want to get this matter settled and go on with my life."

Schoedinger didn't sound like the average crackpot. She sounded intelligent, articulate, and soft-spoken. Could a crackpot even know how to file a lawsuit or start her own business, as Schoedinger has done several times? Anyways, I could only unearth one U.S. mainstream newspaper that has mentioned the lawsuit - a December 2002 story by the Texas-based Fort Bend Star. And that paper even later ran a nasty letter by a reader recommending it fire the reporter, LeaAnne Klentzman, for simply doing her job and covering the story. In contrast, she should be commended as the only mainstream media reporter to cover this lawsuit.

Not even scandal sheets like the National Enquirer will report on this lawsuit, to my knowledge, although they cover the latest allegations about Clinton and other Democrats. Hell, I once read a story in one of those scandal sheets that said Clinton was dating a woman with three breasts. And they can't find the space to mention a sexual assault lawsuit against our latest White House occupant?

If Schoedinger had filed a lawsuit against Clinton, do you think the story would be at least mentioned in every U.S. media outlet from Maine to Hawaii to Alaska to Florida? I'd bet my mortgage on it. Can you say mainstream media double standard, once again? Look at the way the national and local U.S. media has run with the sexual assault allegation against NBA star Kobe Bryant. The 19-year-old woman who alleges that Bryant assaulted her in June did not even go to the trouble and expense of filing a lawsuit. She just reported it to police, who actually arrested Bryant without filing any charges. Police have since charged Bryant with sexual assault.

The story ran on the national news for numerous days. Bryant, who denied the charge in published reports, is not known as being politically active, but a source said Bryant said he is a Democrat during an interview. And his coach, Phil Jackson, has given money to several Democratic candidates, including Bill Bradley, who he played with in the NBA.

Could that link to Democrats, as well as Bryant's African-American background, be why the mainstream media pounds this Bryant assault allegation into the ground before the facts are clear, and ignores allegations filed in a public court case against the Caucasian Republican Bush? More on that question later. When I asked about the lack of media coverage,

Schoedinger said she wasn't seeking publicity. She said she did not even know about the Fort Bend Star story, although the reporter said she even went to Schoedinger's home and talked to a man there, who said she could not come to door. While I reached and spoke to Schoedinger on my first attempt, maybe she wasn't ready to talk back in December.

Anyways, Schoedinger said she was surprised the case wasn't covered more because "it is true..People have to be accountable for what they do, and that's why I'm pursuing it."

To be sure, Schoedinger's accusations - which include being drugged and assaulted numerous times by Bush and men purporting to be FBI agents - are bizarre enough and hard for the average, television-media-brainwashed drone to believe. But to those of us who search beyond our conventional media and go places relatively few dare, her story could be true. Who the hell besides Schoedinger and Bush and a few others really knows? Strange things have occurred in human history, probably stranger than we can imagine. The U.S. government - like most governments - contains its share of evil bastards who would think nothing of doing more than assaults to people. I've learned about too many strange deaths and mind-control experiments and sex orgies that the CIA and other parties play around with to know that they occur.

If you read through Schoedinger's briefs on the surface without knowing much about how "intelligence" and other government agencies really work, you might laugh at her allegations that Bush was behind a campaign to harass her into committing suicide to cover up the sexual assaults he allegedly committed. But if you knew the level of harassment that Bush and his minions committed against, say, J.H. Hatfield, author of an explosive bio on Bush who supposedly committed suicide in 2001 shortly after the book's publication, you might not laugh so loudly.

In her court petition, Schoedinger said police in Sugar Land, another Houston suburb where she said some assailants linked to Bush attempted to unsuccessfully abduct her from her car shortly before the 2000 election, refused to take a report or do anything about that incident. She filed a lawsuit against the Sugar Land department and said that in preparing its defense, Sugar Land police found out that she dated Bush as a minor. I didn't get a chance to ask Schoedinger about that tie and didn't meet her in person, but her driver's license lists her as being 5-foot-8 and weighing 125 pounds, for what that's worth. Her husband, Christopher Schoedinger, is white and five years younger.

The Fort Bend Star story quoted a Sugar Land police captain saying his department had no record of any complaints by Schoedinger. All he had to do was what I did - go to the Fort Bend County Internet site and do a simple search on Schoedinger's name in the area of civil court records. I found the lawsuit Schoedinger filed in December 2000 against Sugar Land police, and it even had numerous responses by the department's attorneys in that case.

So someone in that department knew about Schoedinger. Somebody is lying.

And something strange is going on here.

When I started asking Schoedinger about certain details on the case, such as alleged surveillance at her home and if she was still legally representing herself, she politely ended our conversation. "I need to see what has been written," Schoedinger said. "I feel like it's best for me to end our conversation."

Obviously, she had learned to be careful about what she said and to whom she said it. I could understand her being leery about talking about her situation with a stranger over the phone.

But some media members besides me and the Fort Bend Star need to attempt to talk to Schoedinger and investigate this situation. Hello, Houston Chronicle? Hello, 60 Minutes? Hello, 20/20? Hello, Washington Post? Hell, hello, Geraldo Rivera and Jerry Springer? Do your jobs. Please.

Remember how much you played up Monica Lewinsky's blow jobs and Paula Jones' sexual harassment lawsuit against Clinton in the 1990s, while ignoring or downplaying extramarital activities by the hypocritical Republicans who served on Clinton's impeachment committee like Henry Hyde and Bob Barr? Remember how much you covered Gennifer Flowers' affair allegations - which did not even include a lawsuit - against Clinton, while ignoring or downplaying affair allegations against more prominent Republicans like Newt Gingrich and Bush Jr.? [The GWB one was by a 39-year-old Texas woman, Tammy Phillips, a former stripper who was quoted in the National Enquirer in 2000 saying she had an affair with Bush that had ended in 1999. I have yet to track her down. There are just too many Republican mistresses and not enough hours in the day.]

Remember how much you covered Democrat Gary Condit and Chandra Levy, while ignoring or downplaying the allegations of extramarital affairs committed by Republicans Jeb Bush and Joe Scarborough, who even resigned from Congress and was rewarded with his own MSNBC show? Remember how you reporters staked out Democrat Gary Hart to catch him with a woman who was not his wife and end his presidential ambitions, and downplayed or ignored allegations of affairs committed by Republicans Reagan, Bush Sr. and others?

What about Bill Thomas, Bob Livingston, Dick Armey, Dan Burton, Charles Canady, J.C. Watts, Helen Chenoweth, Sue Myrick, Ken Calvert, John Peterson, Dan Crane, Donald Lukens, Jim Gilmore, Scott McInnis and Arlan Stangeland - all Republican politicians accused of various sexual misdeeds? Most of these hypocrites attacked Clinton for his affairs and expressed outrage when people put a microscope on their private sexual lives.

For details on their cases, as well as some on various Democrats - I'm not by any means excusing Democrats, just pointing out the hypocrisy of many Republicans and mistaken belief of many people that mostly Democratic politicians commit affairs - go to Comedy on Tap's excellent compilation at http://www.comedyontap.com/features/congress.html. Connie Cook Smith has also detailed other such Republicans, such as Katrina Leung, a California Republican fund-raiser who sold secrets to the Chinese while working as an FBI informant and reportedly had extramarital affairs with two FBI agents, on her blog at http://www.conniescomments.blogspot.com. So c'mon, mainstream media. At least make an effort to balance the scales.

Here's your chance. I'll even help you on finding Schoedinger's contact information. Go to http://ccweb.co.fort-bend.tx.us/imgcache/CCCIVIL217038-1-7.pdf. Read all the way to the last page. Call her.

Call Bush. Call the Sugar Land police. Call the FBI. Mention Schoedinger's name and make them squirm some. For the record, I contacted Bush's media office and have yet to hear back. That's fine. I don't really want to speak to those lying bastards, anymore than they want to speak to me. I just want them out of the White House.

Or are you [the mainstream media] too intimidated, too afraid of you and your family being harassed by CIA-Mafia spooks? [That's a legitimate concern. Remember that classic line in War's song, "Why Can't We Be Friends?" I know you're working for the CIA - They wouldn't have you in the Mafia. A lot of truth there.] Too afraid of losing your jobs and prestige and White House dinner invitations when Bush and Co. dry up your political sources? Too afraid of losing your jobs and prestige when the big Bush-supporting bosses upstairs come down hard on your ass for covering another Bush scandal? Or do you just not want to deal with all those hateful phone calls, emails and letters by conservatives who blindly believe Bush and Co. are the second coming of Christ, when they are really more like the anti-Christ?

Oh I know a few of you do your jobs. More of you are following the Iraqi war lies trail. That's good. But get on these Republican sex scandals, as well. Show the American people that Republicans commit just about as many dirty sexual deeds as Democrats. Help get these Republican Religious Right hypocrites who chirp about morals, honor and dignity while their actions speak otherwise off their god-damn high horses.

Schoedinger's allegations, which include possible assaults against Schoedinger's husband while they were drugged and possibly losing a child Bush might have fathered, may turn out to be figments of an overactive imagination or exaggerated claims. But they need to be investigated and aired with the same zeal as the allegations against Clinton when he was in the White House. That is only fair.

The Schoedinger case is about more than a private alleged affair - it's about alleged crimes, cover-ups and harassment campaigns. Some say her story is typical of the treatment inflicted on CIA mind-controlled slaves, of which there are more than most people realize. Remember that Bush is a member of the secret order of Skull and Bones, an exclusive Yale-based club for the elite that practices weird, Satanic-like, sexual initiations and ceremonies. Such strange sexual ceremonies are used as blackmail to guarantee Skull and Boners do what the power elite wants [there are even rumors that Bush has had sexual relations with a male Skull and Boner], just as some elitists are alleged to commit unspeakable sexual trauma on their kids to assure obedience. Several books document these practices.

If you can send a link to this story or this entire essay to your local or national media outlet or any other place you think might be interested in it, by all means, do it.
