DAN QUAYLE1:
James Danforth Quayle born in Indianapolis, Indiana to Martha Corinne (nee Pulliam) and James Cline Quayle.
Quayle’s maternal grandfather, Eugene C. Pulliam, was a wealthy and influential publishing magnate who founded Central Newspapers, Inc., and owned over a dozen major newspapers, such as The Arizona Republic and The Indianapolis Star.
James C. Quayle moved his family to Arizona in 1955 to run a branch of the family's publishing empire & nearly 40 years later in 1993 after 4 years as Vice President, Dan would return to family-owned Central Newspaper to accept a seat on the Board of Directors.
According to Crunchbase, “Central Newspapers, Inc. (CNI) is one of the 25 largest media companies in the United States. CNI and its subsidiaries publish and distribute popular newspapers in Indiana and Arizona, including the Indianapolis Star, the Indianapolis Business Journal, the Phoenix Gazette, and the Arizona Republic. The company also owns an interest in a newsprint mill in Usk, Washington.”2
On June 28, 2000 it was announced that Gannett Co. would be acquiring Central Newspapers, Inc. for a cash purchase price of $2.6 billion.3
Per an August 20, 1988 LA Times article4 titled, “Quayle, a Newspaper Heir, Voted for Tax Exemption on Newsprint”:
“Republican vice presidential nominee Dan Quayle, whose family controls a $1-billion newspaper empire, voted last year to exempt newsprint from a new federal tax on most imported products”
THE FAKE NEWS PUMPS STRONGLY & PURELY THROUGH THE BLOOD OF DANFORTH QUAYLE’S NEWSPAPER MAGNATE LINEAGE.
“CAREER”: (lol)
— (Jan. 1977 - Jan. 1981): Quayle served as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives for Indiana's 4th district
Future Congressman Dan Coats worked for then-Congressman Dan Quayle, and in 1980 when Quayle ran for US Senator, Coats ran for & won Quayle’s seat in the U.S. House of Representative.
— (Jan. 1981 - Jan. 1989): U.S. Senator (Indiana)
In 1980, at age 33, Quayle became the youngest person ever elected to the Senate from the state of Indiana, defeating the extremely popular three-term incumbent Democrat Birch Bayh with 54% of the vote.
Quayle was reelected to the Senate in 1986 with the largest margin ever achieved to that date by a candidate in a statewide Indiana race, taking 61% of the vote against his Democratic opponent.
In Nov. 1988, Quayle was elected Vice President of the United States on the George H.W. Bush Presidential ticket, resigned from the Senate to become Bush’s Vice President, and Representative Dan Coats was appointed to Quayle’s former Senate seat.
— (Jan. 1989 - Jan. 1993): 44th VICE PRESIDENT
Vice President under: GEORGE H.W. BUSH
(5th U.S. Vice President from the state of Indiana)
Did you know that SIX (6) of the nation’s 48 Vice Presidents (49 counting Kamala Harris) have been residents of Indiana (2nd only to New York’s 11)? According to the Truman Presidential Library, the state of Indiana “has played a significant role in Presidential elections frequently in our nation’s history”5 & was once considered one of the most important “swing states.”6
When the 28th Vice President, Thomas R. Marshall, learned of his nomination as Woodrow Wilson’s Vice President in 1912, he announced he was not surprised:
"Indiana is the mother of Vice Presidents; home of more second-class men than any other state”
BUSH / QUAYLE / ELI LILLY PHARMACEUTICAL (Lilly HQ in Indianapolis) SELLOUT
From Jack Herer’s “The Emperor Wears No Clothes” there are a few connections between the Bush family, Quayle family (Bush’s VP & Indiana), and
“Eli Lilly, Zyprexa & The Bush Family: The Diseasing Of Our Malaise”
Thimerosal is a preservative that contains mercury and is used by Eli Lilly and others in vaccines. In 1999 the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Public Health Service urged vaccine makers to stop using mercury-based preservatives. In 2001 the Institute of Medicine concluded that the link between autism and thimerosal was "biologically plausible." By 2002, thim- erosol lawsuits against Eli Lilly were progressing through the courts. The punch line of this Lillygate is that, in June 2002, President George W. Bush had appointed Eli Lilly's CEO, Sidney Taurel, to a seat on his Homeland Security Advisory Council. Ultimately, even some Republican senators became embarrassed by this Lillygate and, by early 2003, moderate Republicans and Democrats agreed to repeal this particular provision in the Homeland Security Act.
— — — — — — —
In the Wesbecker trial, Lilly attorneys argued that the Oraflex information would be prejudicial and Judge John Potter initially agreed that the jury shouldn't hear it. However, when Lilly attorneys used witnesses to make a case for Eli Lilly's superb system of collecting and analyzing side effects, Judge Potter said that Lilly had opened the door to evidence to the contrary and ruled that the Oraflex information would now be permitted. To Judge Potter's amazement, victims' attorneys never presented the Oraflex evidence and Eli Lilly won the case. Later, it was discovered that-in a manipulation Cornwell described as "unprecedented in any Western court"-Eli Lilly cut a secret deal with victims' attorneys to pay them and their clients not to introduce the Oraflex evidence. However, Judge Potter smelled a rat and fought for an investigation. In 1997, Eli Lilly quietly agreed to the verdict being changed from a Lilly victory to "dismissed as settled."
Looking back further to 1992, Alexander Cockburn, in both the Nation and the New Statesman, was one of the first to connect the dots between the Bush family and Eli Lilly. After George Herbert Walker Bush left his CIA director post in 1977 and before becoming vice president under Ronald Reagan in 1980, he was on Eli Lilly's board of directors. As vice president, Bush failed to disclose his Lilly stock and lobbied hard on behalf of Big Pharma-especially Eli Lilly. For example, Bush sought special tax breaks from the IRS for Lilly and other pharmaceutical corporations that were manufacturing in Puerto Rico.
Cockburn also reported on Mitch Daniels, then a vice president at Eli Lilly, who in 1991 co-chaired a fundraiser that collected $600,000 for the Bush-Quayle campaign. This is the same Mitch Daniels who in 2001 became George W. Bush's Director of Management and Budget. In June 2003, soon after Daniels departed from that job, he ran for governor of Indiana (home to Eli Lilly headquarters). In a piece in the Washington Post called "Delusional on the Deficit," Senator Ernest Hollings wrote, "When Daniels left two weeks ago to run for governor of Indiana, he told the Post that the government is 'fiscally in fine shape.' Good grief! During his 29-month tenure, he turned a so-called $5.6 trillion, 10-year budget surplus into a $4 trillion deficit-a mere $10 trillion downswing in just two years. If this is good fiscal policy, thank heavens Daniels is gone."
Recall from PART 7.1, George W. Bush’s May 2022 freudian slip…?
— GEORGE W. BUSH WALKS BACK ONTO THE INTERNATIONAL STAGE IN 2022 & WHILE CONDEMNING RUSSIA’S VLADIMIR PUTIN (aka furthering the ‘FALSE RUSSIAN PROPAGANDA’ referenced above), THE [STILL-AT-LARGE] IRAQI WAR TERRORIST & 43RD PRESIDENT, GEORGE W. BUSH, HAS A FREUDIAN SLIP FOR THE ‘HISTORY BOOKS’:
“The decision of one man to launch a wholly unjustified & brutal invasion of IRAQ… I mean of Ukraine”
[noticeable chuckle, shakes head. And then under his breath, as if he didn’t even remember the microphone was there] says:
“IRAQ TOO… ANYWAY…”
— said THE MAN who launched the BRUTAL INVASION of IRAQ in 2003.
IT’S ALL CONNECTED…!

— Dominion Voting Systems is owned by Staple Street.
— Staple Street is controlled by Cerberus Capital.
— Cerberus is owned by billionaire Steve Feinberg.
Trump appointed Feinberg the Chairman of the Presidents Intelligence Advisory Board, which advises POTUS on all matters counterintelligence.
[WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON? Was that whole election a setup? Feinberg teeing up the Dems using the system they used in 2018, but that he now owns??? Alternatively, could it perhaps be some kind of complete misjudgment by Trump…?]
At Cerberus, Feinberg Built a Web of National Security Ties
THE INDIANA VP CONNECTION: QUAYLE, PENCE
As we touched on at the beginning of “(PART 7.2) - DEEP STATE HOOSIER PLAYER: MIKE PENCE,” Indiana has a long (and really quite strange) history of its residents becoming Vice President. Quayle was the 5th such Indiana-native & Mike Pence was the 6th.
“INDIANA: THE MOTHER OF VICE PRESIDENTS”
Did you know that SIX (6) of the nation’s 48 Vice Presidents (49 counting Kamala Harris) have been residents of Indiana (2nd only to New York’s 11)? According to the Truman Presidential Library, the state of Indiana “has played a significant role in Presidential elections frequently in our nation’s history1” & was once considered one of the most important “swing states.2”
When the 28th Vice President, Thomas R. Marshall, learned of his nomination as Woodrow Wilson’s Vice President in 1912, he announced he was not surprised, as:
"Indiana is the mother of Vice Presidents; home of more second-class men than any other state”
Local ABC affiliate WRTV provided some additional detail surrounding the unusual nickname in an article titled “Indiana: 'The mother of vice presidents3” [on Inauguration Day January 20, 2017]:
“Mike Pence joined an elite group of Hoosiers on Friday when he became the 48th Vice President of the United States.
From 1868 to 1916, Indiana became known as “The Mother of Vice Presidents.”
In 10 of those 13 elections, either the Republicans or the Democrats put a Hoosier on the ticket.”
In a March 2022 interview, Investigative Journalist Lara Logan went out of her way to emphasize the following message about a very important component of the United States Federal Government that most have never even heard of:
The “Senior Executive Service (SES)”
According to the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), Members of the SES serve in the key positions just below the top Presidential appointees.
“SES members are the major link between these Presidential appointees and the rest of the Federal workforce. They operate and oversee nearly every government activity in approximately 75 Federal agencies.”
LARA LOGAN:
“The ‘Deep State’ isn’t a ‘theory.’ It’s not a ‘conspiracy theory.’ It’s an actual Deep State.
Look up the ‘SES’ - the ‘Senior Executive Service.’
Because when that bureaucracy was ushered into law in the United States of America, that’s when we got a bunch of unelected bureaucrats pulling the strings behind the scenes. And these are the people who keep lying to us.”
Before we go any further, I want each of us to stick the following question in the back of our minds for the remainder of these ‘[DEEP STATE] Hoosier’ articles:
What (if any) is the "connection" between:
a) the flag of the Senior Executive Service (‘SES’) of the United States;
b) the flag of the European Union (‘EU’);
c) the flag of state of Indiana
Is it just a ‘coincidence’ that the flags of the Senior Executive Service (‘SES’), the European Union (EU), and the state of Indiana each feature yellow stars arranged in a circle (‘SES’ & Indiana have 13 stars; EU has 12 stars) on top of a blue background?
What is the significance of the KEYSTONE featured on the flag of the Senior Executive Service?
BAYH-DOLE ACT:
In December 1980—just 1 month before Ronald Reagan would be inaugurated President & 1 year after this ‘unseen, unelected hidden hand of government’ known as the Senior Executive Service (‘SES’) was created in 1979—lame duck President Jimmy Carter signed the BAYH-DOLE ACT which represented a radical change to patent ownership by contractors of inventions arising from federal government-funded research (that is, taxpayer-funded research… Meaning the research that you & I paid for with our tax dollars yet see absolutely no form of back end financial benefit & do not share in the profits/success of any of these inventions that we helped pay for & thus bring into fruition indirectly).
Sponsored by popular ***INDIANA*** Democrat Senator Birch Bayh & Kansas’ Senator Bob Dole, the Bayh-Dole Act (1) uniformly permits contractors to retain ownership of inventions made with federal funding & (2) authorizes federal agencies to grant exclusive licenses to inventions owned by the federal government.
In an upcoming article “(Part 7.5) - [Deep State] Hoosier Players: Birch Bayh & Evan Bayh” we will unpack the long-term implications of the Bayh-Dole Act in much greater detail, and critically analyze the father & son Democrats from Indiana whom occupied one of Indiana’s Senate Seats for a combined 30 years since 1961: the Bayh family.

Former VP Dan Quayle Says There is No 'Systemic Fraud' in Election, Trump Should 'Move On'
‘Quayle comes to the rescue of the republic’: Book claims former VP warned Pence not to interfere in 2020 election9
Former vice president Dan Quayle has emerged as an unlikely hero in the saga of the plot to overturn the results of the 2020 election
(MSNBC — September 17, 2021)
“Dan Quayle talked Mike Pence into rejecting Trump. What a story.”
“Pence was praised for doing the right thing on Jan. 6. Now we know what it took.”
“Pence sought way to hand election to Trump; Dan Quayle advice saved U.S. democracy”
Former Vice President Mike Pence was in real danger on Jan. 6. Crowds outside chanted for him to be hanged on the makeshift scaffolding they’d constructed outside the Capitol building. Security video later showed how close the mob had come to obstructing Pence and his family’s flight to safety. All because Pence had refused to do what his boss had asked. The former congressman from Indiana had earlier that day rejected President Donald Trump’s demands that he abdicate his duty as vice president and refuse to certify Joe Biden’s 2020 election win over Trump.
For fulfilling his duty, Pence has been hailed as a hero in the by some members of the media. However, that narrative became more complicated this week with the release of the first excerpts from “Peril,” the forthcoming book from reporters Bob Woodward and Robert Costa. Pence didn’t come to his heroism naturally. He had to be guided to it by an unlikely source: former Vice President Dan Quayle who reportedly told Pence he had no option but to do his job.
How many Americans remember anything about the vice president from 1988-1992 other than his legendary misspelling of the word “potato” when judging an elementary school spelling bee? For decades, that’s been the main reference point Americans had for Quayle, consigning him to the relative obscurity that’s met so many vice presidents before him.
Quayle was in some ways a proto-Pence. A vice president from Indiana, Quayle was a younger conservative brought onto the ticket to bolster the bona fides of a presidential candidate whose own record was less than impressive to some on the right. It makes sense that Pence called Quayle when deciding how to respond to Trump’s demands.
Costa and Woodward report that Pence rang up Quayle in late December to ask if there was any way he could give Trump want he wanted, according to the Washington Post:
Quayle was adamant, according to the authors. “Mike, you have no flexibility on this. None. Zero. Forget it. Put it away,” he said.
But Pence pressed him, the authors write, asking if there were any grounds to pause the certification because of ongoing legal challenges. Quayle was unmoved, and Pence ultimately agreed, according to the book.
CNN’s version added some additional detail to Pence’s entreaty:
"You don't know the position I'm in," he said, according to the authors.
"I do know the position you're in," Quayle responded. "I also know what the law is. You listen to the parliamentarian. That's all you do. You have no power."
And Pence did just that: He listened to the Senate parliamentarian. Together, as Politico's Kyle Cheney showed on Twitter, they crafted language that made clear that there would be no chance for alternate electoral slates from states such as Georgia to vote for Trump. And in doing so, Biden’s win was — once the Capitol was cleared of insurrectionists — certified as it had been every other presidential election beforehand.
One of the most fascinating things about books like Woodward and Costa’s is trying to guess who provided which bits of information. The narrative framing is like a novel — attributions for sources are rare. It’s part of the reason so many politicos agree to interviews. They know their version of history could be the one that’s told. For example, there’s plenty of speculation that Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, is the source for some of the more flattering anecdotes about his role in saving democracy from Trump.
I don’t have access to “Peril,” which makes it even more difficult for me to guess who may have provided this particular anecdote, but the unflattering portrayal of Pence rules him out in my mind. That leaves Quayle, or at least someone close enough to Quayle to have passed it on to Woodward and Costa. No matter who gave them the story, it serves as a particularly fascinating postscript and recasts the former punchline as a beacon of moral resolve.
Meanwhile, Pence’s legacy has grown more complicated. He did the right thing in the end. Listening to Quayle meant shelving any chance of winning over Trump’s more rabid fans, effectively shutting the door on his own presidential run. But the fact that he was even looking for an out is a problem. Certifying the election results should have been an easy choice for someone dedicated to public service. There aren’t many gimmes in politics, especially at the presidential level.
Then again, that desire for easy answers is part of why people like Trump are so appealing to the masses. We want stories and characters that are one-dimensional and moral choices cast in black and white. In a way, it’s better to read books like “Peril” less as history and more as literature and find inspiration and meaning in their half-truth reflections on life.
Despite his ambivalence, Pence forswore ambition for the good of the country. Despite his treatment at the hands of the political system, Quayle defended it during a time of peril. The better angels of their nature won out over selfishness and vanity. At the same time, there’s no denying that there is likely a self-serving reason we know these stories at all; it’s hard to be a hero if there’s no narrator to tell the tale.
There’s something about this particular phone call between two Hoosiers that dances on the line between truth and allegory. Did Quayle save our democracy? Maybe. At least, someone says he did. But we should be less concerned with whether this particular story is true and more concerned with the indisputable truth: A president who’d been voted out demanded his vice president break the law to help him hold onto power, and because he didn’t, a mob outside erected a gallows.
