Few people understand that one of the most notorious individuals in British history may have contributed to the lineage of our current president. Aleister Crowley, a.k.a., “The Great Beast 666” — the infamous practitioner of “sex magick” whose motto was “Do What Thou Wilt” — came to know a great many remarkable people, including the maternal grandmother of George W. Bush. “Know,” in this case, may be taken in the Biblical sense. Evidence points to the disturbing possibility that he was the true father of Barbara Bush, the former First Lady and mother to George W. Bush.
