I guess you know Dealey Plaza was flooded with spooks 50 years ago. One young spook at the scene may have been George H.W. Bush, who was working deep cover for the CIA through his fledgling oil company Zapata, building platforms in the Gulf of Mexico, some of which were designed as resupply depots for the anti-Castro network operating out of Miami. The Miami CIA office had become the biggest in the world outside Langley and they had been training an army of refugees to re-take Cuba from the commies. Check out the picture of someone who looks just like Bush in front of the School Book Depository. By the way, Bush says he “can’t remember” where he was when JFK was murdered, despite several FBI memos relating his interest in the case. Also, if that isn’t Bush standing on the steps of the Depository, whoever it might be has never come forward to clear Bush from any involvement.

A very important and very secret CIA operation against Cuba involved the CIA’s most gung-ho boom-and-bang cowboy, William “Wild Bill” Harvey teaming up with mafia assassin Johnny Roselli to kill Castro, a mission JFK apparently decided to shut down after the Cuban missile crisis. Both Bush and Roselli developed a fondness for the speed boats used to ferry weapons and explosives into Cuba. But when JFK discovered the CIA’s anti-Castro operations weren’t being shut down, he forcibly closed the training camps and told James Angleton to fire William Harvey.
Instead, Harvey was quietly moved to Italy and then secretly consulted for the JFK hit. There were a lot of CIA people in Dallas that day, although most may not have know much about what was about to happen. In the CIA everything tends to get compartmentalized and very much on the “need to know” basis.
The first piece of evidence to tie Bush to the assassination was a memo written by J. Edgar Hoover the day after the assassination that revealed “George Bush of the CIA” reported by phone on the activities of some “misguided Cubans.” One wonders what the purpose of this memo was? Was Hoover tying a Bush family member into the scene to cover his own ass? I guess you know CIA Cuban exiles provided the support team that assisted JFK’s CIA-mob assassination team. And it’s only because of the testimony of some mob figures and Cuban exiles that we know what happened that day as no one from inside the CIA has ever spoken out, or at least spoken out and lived. But then something even more interesting turned up more recently.
This memo was written the day of the assassination and claims private citizen George Bush called the FBI immediately after the assassination to point a finger at a student named James Parrott. Was this call really placed from Tyler, Texas, and how easy would it have been to place a call from a hotel in Dallas and route it through an office in Tyler for the sole purpose of giving Bush an alibi?
No doubt Harvey assisted Angleton in building the MI5-CIA-Mossad-Vatican alliance, a base that gave him immense influence. Even after Angleton was removed as head of counterintelligence (and painted as a paranoid fool by many inside the agency), he could not be fired nor fully retired as his field operatives were just too important.
Roselli was not so lucky. After participating in the JFK assassination and helping with the coverup, Roselli thought he was untouchable. He was railroaded into jail and while there spilled the beans on the assassination. When he got out he would turn up in pieces in an oil drum floating in Biscayne Bay, where he had once raced his favorite speed boat on runs to Cuba and back. Knowing Handsome Johnny’s penchant for profit, one might assume Johnny was running guns and explosives one way, while bringing drugs back the other.
Wow Steve…very, very interesting! That’s is really something to ponder…especially when you speak of the Power of the Presidency to get 411 to reveal hidden truths. I remember President Obama saying, shortly after being inaugurated, that there were things about Guantanamo that he was advised of by his aides, that he was not privy to, before he won the election. So that makes perfect sense to block any Kennedy from the Presidency. And that, is a feast for thought!
The now infamous picture of George HW Bush outside the Schoolbook Depository is way more likely to be an equally explosive photo of David Atlee Phillips aka Maurice Bishop.
Even other CIA men thought Bush was an oily tick and a benchwarmer a la E Howard Hunt- a pencil pusher not a go-getter.
Maurice Bishop on the other hand… People were still getting shot in the face on account of him as late as the 1990s…
Not very likely. Oswald’s handler would be not be hanging around where his secret agent was working.
I think the George HW Bush “lookalike” is actually Maurice Bishop a far more likely man to be on the spot given all the others involved who just could not stay off the streets that day.
But I also definitely think HW was involved as at least a benchwarmer to use EH Hunt’s term. Too coincidental re the memo “George Bush of the CIA” etc.
Reblogged this on Flying Tiger Comics.
It was Det. Gus Rose. There was a photo of Bush behind the podium in Tyler, Texas when he heard the news.
Rose never went to the Plaza that day and was off duty during the event. As for Bush, why would he claim he can’t recall where he was, although I’m sure all the major culprits had alibis worked out in advance. The more interesting question would be why this blog is suddenly reverberating right after I posted a similar Quora answer. First came a vicious personal attack (which I did not approve), a snide comment on Quora, and now you trot out tired old Gus rabbit hole? Can you find a photo of Gus with his hand in his pocket Bush-style?
