Well, after all, it was you and me.
That’s a good question, An Arky.
I dunno about any of this, but I am Deep Throat.
The answer is “B”
t-keela, if you’re still here, thanks for those links. I don’t go for alarmist conspiracy theories, but the information in those links is interesting, and has a good degree of plausability in general tendancy, if not exact responsibility, to my mind. Bringing the possibility up didn’t seem to warrant the taunting raspberries presented here. I’m looking it over, and wondering.
Points brought up: I had no idea the Bush and Hinckley families knew each other, after all these years since the Reagan assasination attempt. That really made my jaw drop. Why isn’t this common knowledge? Hinckley is generally portrayed as a lone wierdo. Granted, any connection doesn’t make him not an odd weirdo, but I never saw any connection with the Bush family. How did that happen?
In light of the last link by t-keela, Bush Sr was very instrumental in CIA Cuban activity in the 60’s. My mind gets to wondering; does this have any bearing on his son being the Governor of Florida. I just gotta wonder.
No, no no. It was Reagan who killed Kennedy.
Ronald (6) Wilson(6) Reagan(6). See?
“They” told me it was “42”…

Linda, is that you?!?!
Look, t-keela the Bush clan has inflicted enough documented harm on our country without trying to pin the Kennedy Assassination and Watergate on them! Let’s stick to the things that we know they have fucked up and leave the crazy conspiracy theories where they belong.
Perhaps that’s why they hate goodness and honesty – paragons like the Kennedy clan.
:rolleyes:
(My first rolleyes!)
It’s been a long time since I presented this theory. Which is not mine BTW (So, I will get back into this again, but not if it’s going to be a we love George party.) If you disagree, fine, leave it at that. If you don’t want to read the thread then don’t.
Anyway, I was reading an autobiography on GHWB and one of the sources brought this information to light. I never said I believed it. I thought there might be some folks here that might find it interesting, if not believable.
*Perhaps this thread should have been in another forum.
The point was to get some input from those with actual knowledge rather than a bunch of smartass remarks from “freepers”, is that what y’all call 'em?
Most of what is mentioned regarding the Bush family history is documented fact. Although, the Kennedy conspiracy seems like a lot of coincidences, that’s still just some more skeletons come to light.
I found it damned curious that Jack Ruby worked for Nixon at one time. I also found it curious that GHWB was the man who supposedly hired LH Oswald. Another interesting fact is that GHWB was hired by Nixon…and was practically the only person he kept on staff when everyone got fired during the Watergate Scandal.
Tapes released recently by the FOI Act recorded Nixon saying, “No, let’s not fire Bush…he’ll do any damned thing I ask.”
Granted, a person looking for a conspiracy can look back at history and come up with info. to support their claims. These are but just a few pieces of evidence posed in the theory.
Now, if someone here disagrees with the evidence, that’s one thing. You can disprove that or not. BUT, the theory is another thing. I can neither prove nor disprove that…and neither can you. If you can, then you need to start a book or something.
elelle I haven’t read the book in awhile but IIRC Neil Bush and John Hinckley were college roommates.
P.S. in case someone here didn’t get it the first time…I NEVER SAID I BELIEVED BUSH KILLED KENNEDY…I just thought the evidence behind the theory was damned interesting, especially since most of it is documented.
damned, I hate to get back into this shit…
elelle…it was well publicized at the time, though the media was more interested in the possibility that the fact that Hinckley’s family was rich would enable to get “special treatment.” And they may have been right.
In 1951, Robert Woodruff, CEO and Chairman of Coca-Cola Enterprises invited General Eisenhower to his Georgia estate of Ichawauy (sp). In the weekend-long meeting, Woodruff promised Eisenhower the full might and muscle of the awesome Coca-Cola marketing department, million$ in campaign money, and special considerations (read: money) throughout the rest of his life in support of an Eisenhower bid for the Presidency. All that Eisenhower had to do in return is help facilitate the entry of Coca-Cola into global markets, especially the Eastern Bloc.
This offer was accepted by a grateful Eisenhower. The State Department was at the beck and call of the Coca-Cola company, which performed many useful functions for them. Unfortunately, he was unable to get Coca-Cola in the Soviet Union, which was to have disasterous consequences.
At the same time, however, the CEO of Pepsi Cola, Alfred N. Steele, was the principal supporter of Richard Nixon’s 1952 candidacy. This relationship with Pepsico continued throughout throughout Nixon’s political career, with successive CEO’s Herbert Bennett and Donald Kendall continuing their support.
Despite Woodruff’s power and influence with the Boss, Nixon was still effective in the Eisenhower years, especially in 1959 when he blocked Coca-Cola from appearing at the Moscow Fair, while getting a photograph of him sharing a Pepsi with Nikita Krushchev.
Because of this act, Coca-Cola withdrew all support of the Nixon candidacy in 1960, throwing their marketing and financial muscle behind the Kennedy/Johnson ticket while donating nothing to the Nixon campaign (though donations to the GOP in favor of certain Reps/Senators continued). After the humiliation of the 1960 and 1962 campaigns, Richard Nixon decided, in late 1963, to go to work for the Pepsico corporation as a lawyer/lobbyist.
First stop, Dallas. Date: 11-21-1963.
Less than 5 years later, Nixon was in the White House. Within a decade, Pepsi was in the Soviet Union.
But Coca-Cola had the last laugh. Too bad Jimmy Carter wasn’t all that funny.
Now you know… the rest of the story.
thanks to t-keela and john t for opening this topic and allowing interesting truths to be told. The cola wars get even sicker…Pepsi was one of the companies behind the 1973 coup in Chile. Here is a snippet of the story from Greg Palast’s website:
http://www.gregpalast.com/detail.cfm?artid=36&row=1
It is the firm and continuing policy that Allende be overthrown by a coup… Please review all your present and possibly new activities to include propaganda, black operations, surfacing of intelligence or disinformation, personal contacts, or anything else your imagination can conjure…’
‘Eyes only, restricted handling, secret’ message. To US station chief, Santiago. From CIA headquarters. 16 October 1970.
You would be wrong to assume this plan for mayhem was another manifestation of the Cold War between the ‘free world’ and communism. Much more was at stake: Pepsi-Cola’s market share and other matters closer to the heart of corporate America.
In exclusive interviews with The Observer last week, the former US Ambassador to Chile, Edward Korry, told the story in - and behind - these and other top secret CIA, State Department and White House cables recently released by the National Security Archives. Korry filled in gaps in the story by describing cables
still classified, and disclosing information censored in papers now available under the US Freedom of Information Act.
Korry, who served Presidents Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon, told how US companies, from cola to copper, using the CIA as an international debt collection agency and investment security force.
Indeed, the October 1970 plot against Chile’s President-elect Salvador Allende, using CIA ‘sub-machine guns and ammo’, was the direct result of a plea for action a month earlier by Donald Kendall, chairman of PepsiCo, in two telephone calls to the company’s former lawyer, President Richard Nixon.
Kendall arranged for the owner of the company’s Chilean bottling operation to meet National Security Adviser Henry Kissinger on September 15. Hours later, Nixon called in his CIA chief, Richard Helms, and, according to Helms’s handwritten notes, ordered the CIA to prevent Allende’s inauguration.
And supposedly, the heroin processing lab in the Pepsi bottling plant in Ventiane was pushed for by Nixon. I have a cite for that somewhere, but I have to dig it up.
Hell, that sugar water’s gotta be some powerful stuff, no?
Heavin’ a big ass sigh…
I was eleven years old and it was 1982 when an operative confessed George Bush Sr. Killed JFK to me. He was my neighbor. He told me he had to tell someone and that no one would ever believe an eleven year old boy. I have never told anyone this nor will I tell you who I am but I am 100% sure of it. My neighbor was protecting GB at the time. My neighbor is no longer living and I suggest all of you be careful when you stumble on something with some truth to it. “When the old man kicks the bucket the truth will come out” This was the quote I remembered from my neighbor.
Ok, what are you smoking? And do you have any left?
And then the neighbour invited you down to his basement to show you his “special wrestling holds” and…well, as he said, no one would ever believe an eleven-year-old boy. Especially one with a story about Bush assassinating Kennedy.
So…zombies killed Kennedy?
For his brains?
Uh-huh… if we wouldn’t believe you when you were 11, why should we believe you now that you’re 41 and still believe this crap?
