Is George W. Bush the Key to True Detective Season Two?
boston.com ^ | JULY 6, 2015 | Rachel Raczka

Vernon, Calif., the notoriously corrupt, industrial city that inspired True Detective season two, is a far cry from the eerie swamplands of the Louisiana bayou, but we’re there for a reason — right?

In this week’s episode, “Maybe Tomorrow,” Det. Ani Bezzerides (Rachel McAdams) and California Highway Patrol officer Paul Woodrugh (Taylor Kitsch) search for the killer, leading them to ambush the home of Mayor Austin Chessani (Ritchie Coster), who was in close, questionable contact with the seedy city manager before his death. While in Chessani’s mansion, we catch a glimpse of a framed photo of the mayor and former President George W. Bush. (Wow, HBO shows like their odd Bush references, don’t they?)

To understand how weird this is, let’s take a look at the town that inspired Vinci. Vernon has a reputation for corruption, dating back decades to founder-cum-mayor John Baptiste Leonis, whose associates were found guilty of voter fraud, with incidents of sex crimes, rampant nepotism, misappropriations of public funds, and yes, more voter fraud on a regular basis. So if Vinci is Vernon, and Chessani is, as we’re led to believe, involved in some serious shade — what’s Bush doing hanging out with him?

Vanity Fair has a theory that the strange happenings in Vinci could be linked to a ritualistic secret society called the Bohemian Club. The typically wealthy, white, Republican members meet up to do who-knows-what every July at a heavily guarded 2,700 acre campground named the Bohemian Grove in Monte Rio, according to the Washington Post. Membership is by invitation only,

Surprised he hasn’t said we made Stalin too. We were allied with him once.

However, scholars such as Jason Burke,...

Ahhhh yes, Jason Burke from the esteemed Guardian. I stopped look up your other leftist trolls.

Take your drivel somewhere else, we're all full up here.

Well then run off with your dick in your hand and piss off elsewhere troll.

You've been wrong since you claimed we never invaded Afghanistan.

You purposefully conflate the mujaheddin with Al Qaeda.

Your quote again:

“AlKida has always been our bunch, CIA ‘made’ them in afganistan to fight USSR, gave them stingers”

What's next?...going to claim 9/11 was an "inside job"?

The run up to the Iraq war took 18 months and gave Saddam plenty of time to hide/export his WMD to Syria, et al. That fact is one of my quarrels with how W prosecuted the war - after the start Bremer also disbanded the Iraqi Army as well. Saddam was given too much time to hide the WMD.

That's not what Bush said to the joint session when he asked for war powers.

CIA killed Che Guevara. I'd call that a win. CIA pushed back the communists in Central America and South America. Also a win. US Intelligence has had several successes against Iran, only a few of which [like Stuxnet] that we know anything about. Iraq is no longer attempting to build a nuclear bomb and is no longer stockpiling chemical and biological weapons.

Like I said, try paying attention next time.

Jenny also believes we made Mussolini. Because CIA analysts order pizza in the middle of the night.

Yeah, the fact that neither the CIA nor even the OSS existed when Mussolini came to power won't chnage his logic on that one either...
