Odds and ends of dark information. Not sure how accurate the conclusions are, as there are some fairly sensational charges on this page, even for me. Nonetheless, I have long been suspicious that Poppy helped engineer the JFK assassination, and was able to wield tremendous blackmail power as such. The facts of the assassination to the extent that they are known, are consistent with this theory.

Daddy Bush would have another opportunity to display both his love of freedom and democracy and his “family values” when it was revealed in September of 1988 that seven members of his presidential campaign were fascist, pro-Nazi, anti-Semites. The seven, who later resigned or were fired, were part of the Republican Party’s Heritage Groups Council—a funding clique made up of extreme right-wing Eastern European émigrés. In 1976, Heritage Groups Council Director Colonel Jay Neimczyk wrote a memo to the RNC’s Co-Chairman Robert Carter praising Bush’s leadership of the ethnic recruitment effort, reportedly including a number of war criminals.[26] One of Bush’s allies, Yaroslav Stetsko, had collaborated with the Nazis as their puppet prime minister of Galicia in the western Ukraine. Captured Nazi records revealed that over 100,000 Jews were murdered within two years of Yaroslav’s reign.

As John Loftus and Mark Aarons write in: The Secret War Against The Jews:

“It was Bush who fulfilled [President Richard] Nixon’s promise to make the “ethnic” emigres a permanent part of Republican politics. Bush’s tenure as head of the Republican National Committee exactly coincided with Laszlo Pasztor’s 1972 drive to transform the Heritage Groups Council into the party’s official ethnic arm. The groups Pasztor chose as Bush’s campaign allies were the émigré Fascists whom Dulles had brought to the United States....
Nearly twenty years later, and after exposé’s in several respectable newspapers, Bush continued to recruit most of the same ethnic Fascists, including Pasztor, for his own 1988 ethnic outreach program when he first ran for President.”

Fugitive Nazi war criminal Otto von Bolschwing, U.S. head of the notorious Nazi Gehlan Org spy apparatus, was himself a Republican Party activist and reportedly a friend of Richard Nixon’s.

Another group of suspected Nazi war criminals, the Anti-Bolshevik Bloc of Nations, participated in a 1983 White House meeting with George Bush and Ronald Reagan. One photo of the meeting was signed: “To the Honorable Yaroslav Stetsko, With Best Wishes, George Bush.” [27]

Reagan himself, formerly part of Allen Dulles’s Office of Policy Coordination, had been the front man back in the 1950s for the Crusade for Freedom, a money-laundering organization which was part of Dulles’s fascist “freedom fighters” program.[28]

President Reagan—perhaps demonstrating his own alignment with Nazis—visited the Bittburg Waffen SS cemetery to pay his respects during a controversial but well-publicized trip to Germany.

One of CIA Director Allen Dulles’s covert agents inside the Roosevelt and Truman administrations was Edwin Pauley, who would become the U.S. representative to the Allied Reparations Committee and the industrial advisor to the Potsdam Conference. Pauley later became George Bush’s partner in the Mexican government’s oil monopoly Pemex. The CIA used Pemex as a cover and as a money laundering operation for Pauley’s campaign contributions. As Tarpley and Chaitkin write:

“Pauley, say several of our sources, was the man who invented an intelligence money-laundering system in Mexico, which was later refined in the 1970s as part of Nixon’s Watergate scandal.”

As for Watergate, burglar Frank Sturgis told the San Francisco Chronicle that “the reason we burglarized the Watergate was because Nixon was interested in stopping news leaking relating to the photos of our role in the assassination of President John Kennedy.”[29]

Former CIA operative Trenton Parker, who was part of a special unit named “Pegasus,” states that Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon and George Bush all knew of the intended assassination plot.[30]

Bush reportedly coordinated Frank Sturgis, as well as Watergate team members Rafael “Chi Chi” Quintero, E. Howard Hunt, and Bernard Barker for the Cuban Bay of Pigs invasion—using Pemex and Bush’s Zapata Oil as a staging point (the operation was codenamed OPERATION ZAPATA). Nixon, as Vice President, had supervised Allen Dulles’s planning of the invasion.

Quintero worked under CIA coordinator William F. Buckley, Jr. in an assassination unit Buckley supervised under the cover of Pemex. Bush had a keen financial interest in turning Cuba back into a playground for ultra-capitalist interests, as Bush’s Zapata Oil was one of the key suppliers to Cuba under Batista.

As Richard Nixon told John Ehrilchman shortly after his election: “Eliminate everyone except George Bush. Bush will do anything for our cause.” Nixon and Bush had openly discussed killing Kennedy for his failure to provide air cover at the Bay of Pigs.[31*]

Nixon’s relationship to the Bush family goes back to 1946, when Nixon answered an ad placed by the Orange County Republican Party in a Los Angeles newspaper. Key funding for the ad was provided by Prescott Bush, who was looking for a puppet to run for Congress. Nixon got the job, landing a seat in the Senate and then progressing to the Vice-Presidency. In 1960 George Bush became a protégé of Nixon’s, who was then running for President.

Bush described Nixon as his mentor.

However Bush denies his connections with the CIA. Yet a November 29, 1963 memo from FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover to the State Department’s Director of Intelligence and Research uncovered through the Freedom of Information Act describes a briefing given to “George Bush of the Central Intelligence Agency.” The memo was written after Lee Harvey Oswald was interrogated about his connections to the Cuban exile community and the CIA.[32]
For his part, Bush claims he never worked for the Agency until he was appointed Director in 1975, and CIA spokesman Bill Devine would “neither confirm nor deny” Bush’s role to reporter Joseph McBride of The Nation. Yet when the memo was published, the CIA did an about-face when Agency spokeswoman Sharon Basso told Associated Press that the memo actually referred to a George William Bush, who was a CIA night watchman at the time (hardly a man who would be given such a briefing!). When located and contacted by McBride and Nation editor Victor Navasky, William Bush confirmed that he was definitely not the Bush referred to in the memo. He had simply worked for the CIA for about six months as a coast and landing beach analyst—not a night watchmen—at the time, with a rank of GS-5. In response to questions about the Hoover memo, he replied, “Is that the other George Bush?”[33]

Yet Bush had maintained a personal relationship with Lee Harvey Oswald’s alleged handler, CIA “asset” George DeMohrenschildt, who carried Bush’s name and telephone in his address book until his supposed suicide. DeMohrenschildt gave only the vaguest explanations for his frequent trips to Bush’s home town of Houston in his testimony before the Warren Comission.[34*]

Now deceased Army Colonel, CIA operative and NYPD detective “Big Al” Carone stated that “George Bush was CIA prior to the assassination of John Kennedy in 1963.” Carone told his subordinate William Tyree that he “had taken money to a female named Ruth Paine in late 1956 on orders from William Casey (OSS/CIA operative who was CIA Director from 1981 to 1987).”

According to a lawsuit filed by Tyree, “Carone said that Paine was approached by the CIA to find and recruit an individual that was expendable, with communist ties and some type of anti-American background...

“Carone said that when Ruth Paine found the individual, she notified her CIA contact, identified as George de Mohrenschildt, who in turn contacted his CIA supervisor, identified as George Bush. Carone said that George Bush was the same George Bush that was CIA Director. Carone said the individual located by Ruth Paine was identified as a Mr Lee Harvey Oswald.

“FBI records/reports within 14 days after the assassination of President Kennedy will reflect that Mr George Bush met with J. Edgar Hoover, as Bush was trying to ascertain what the FBI might have stumbled onto by mistake in regards to the Ruth Paine - Oswald connection.”[35*]

When appointed CIA Director in 1975 by President Gerald Ford (a former member of the Warren Commission), Bush conveniently headed off inquiries by Senator Frank Church into the CIA’s various assassination plots which DCI William Colby had been cooperating with. Colby would later wind up dead under suspicious circumstances. (See Chapter XX)

In fact, Bush had been a top agent of the CIA since at least 1960, when he recruited Cubans for the Bay of Pigs invasion. Given the Bush family’s oil interests in the region, this is hardly surprising. As Anthony Kimery writes in Covert Action Quarterly:

“Veteran CIA operatives in the war against Castro say Bush not only let the CIA use Zapata as a front for running some of its operations (including the use of several off-shore drilling platforms), but assert that Bush personally served as a conduit through which the Agency disbursed money for contracted services.”[36]

It was at that time that Bush met Felix Rodriguez, part of a CIA shooter team coordinated out of a training base in Mexico supervised by the FBI’s Division Five (domestic counter-intelligence).[*] Rodriguez would later become Bush’s main liaison to Oliver North’s Contra drugs-for-guns pipeline when Bush served as Vice President.
