I really can't say, based on my own knowledge, whether this has any credibility. Several key dates should be easily able to find.
If Barbara Bush (née Pierce) were born on June 8, 1925, she should have been conceived in September, 1924. If her mother Pauline really returned from a visit to Paris where she hung with Crowley's friends in early October, 1924, then it depends entirely on how long she spent in Paris whether the chronology fits.
The author avoids saying when Pauline left *for* Paris; so, it could have been only two weeks long, and she could have left America already pregnant; or, it could have been a month long and she should have gotten pregnant in Paris.
None of the responses to the original blog post clarifies the matter, so I assume if anyone is interested in this, they'll have to do some digging. And we know how easy it is to find reliable and detailed information on the Bush family, don't we?
Crowley's diaries from this Paris period have not been published, that I am aware of. They should have been the second volume of Symonds and Grant, eds. "The Magical Record of the Beast 666". But they have never seen the light of day.
If there is mention of Pauline Robinson Pierce in these diaries, it is entirely plausible that political pressure was put on Symonds et al. not to publish them.
