George H. W. Bush in Dallas 11/22/63

George Herbert Walker Bush at Dealey Plaza

Now that President Bush is in the ground, I will comment on some of his connections and associations with the assassination of President Kennedy.

For starters, that is not Bush in a suit and tie standing next to the TSBD in the wake of the assassination. While it does look like him, photos can be funny, and that person has been identified and its not G.H.W. Bush.

But – and that’s a BIG BUT – he was in Dallas that day.

We know from government records released under the JFK Act that Bush stayed the night at the Dallas Sheraton Hotel with his wife, and he then traveled to Tyler, Texas to give a political talk while his wife had her hair done.

After Bush learned about the assassination, he dropped a dime on James Parrott, a Republican political operative who Bush said should be considered a suspect in his murder.

Bush told the government he intended to return to the Sheraton, which was itself a hotbed of conspiratorial activities.

The Secret Service agents from out of town stayed at the Sheraton while the White House Communications Agency (WHCA), set up a remote radio shack in one of the Sheraton rooms and monitored both the Secret Service motorcade channel as well as the Air Force One radio transmissions.

Also among the records released under the JFK Act is a report of “George Bush of the CIA” being given special information, though Bush was not officially associated with the CIA at that time, and it was alleged that the “George Bush of the CIA” was a reference to another man in the CIA by the same name. But when that George Bush was located and interviewed he claimed to be a minor level functionary who would not be given such information.

Lee Harvey Oswald was also familiar with the Dallas Sheraton, as it was part of The Southland Center, a major building complex that included offices – including those of a friend of George deMohrenschildt (Marty Balan), who interviewed Oswald for a job that he didn’t get.

The Southland Center office building also includes the Mexican Consulate, the private Chaparral Club where the rich and powerful met and socialized, as well as the law offices of the attorneys who represented Oswald’s brother Robert and his wife Marina when they testified before the Warren Commission. The same law firm also represented Clint Murchison and the Dallas Cowboys.

On the roof of the building is a sky tower that overlooks the city, and is a popular tourist attraction, where two young high school kids were walking through the lobby on their way to one Saturday in September. Wynn Johnson and his girl friend were stopped by three men who asked them directions to a coffee shop. They later recognized one of the men as Lee Harvey Oswald, and the other two have been identified as CIA spy master David Atlee Phillips and anti-Castro Cuban terrorist Antonio Veciana.

Then there was the ostensible reporter who checked out of the Sheraton leaving behind his notes that a cleaning lady thought suspicious and reported, which created a document that remains classified today. 
Sheraton – Suspicious notes – 104-10006-10026


ORIGINATOR: FBI
DATE: 11/27/64

TITLE: INVESTIGATION CONCERNING NOTEBOOK FOUND IN ROOM 2422, SHERATON HOTEL, DALLAS, TEXAS, CONTAINING HANDWRITTEN NOTES IN ENGLISH REGARDING OSWALD AND ASSASSINATION OF JFK

Postponed in Part Reason for Board Action: The text is redacted because it reveals the identity of an intelligence agent that might be withheld under Section 6(1)(A) of the JFK Act. The Board is awaiting additional evidence from the CIA, at which time it will reconsider the postponement   Substitute Language: CIA Employee

As for Bush’s connections to the assassination, he had a business partner Thomas Devine. As Russ Baker details in his book “Bush Family of Secrets,” Thomas J. Devine was a former CIA staff employee, worked with Bush on his Zapata Oil company business before moving to New York to work for the CIA with another CIA official – John Train. Train handled the business interests of a number of CIA propriety companies.

When Oswald’s good friend George deMonrenschildt took a job in Haiti in April, 1963, he stopped by the Oswald’s apartment to say goodbye. As it was a few days after the Walker shooting, when deMohrenschhildt saw the rifle in a closet, he asked Oswald “How did you miss?”

Oswald also gave deMohrenschildt a copy of the Backyard photo of him with the rifle, pistol and two communist publications – that Marina inscribed “Hunter of Fascists! Ha  Ha.”

When deMohrenschildt left Texas for Haiti, he stopped in New York City and met with both Devine at John Train’s office, then went to Washington D.C. and met with Dorothie Matlack and Col. Sam Kail. Both worked for the Assistant Chief of Staff for Intelligence (ASCI), whose office in the Pentagon also controlled Col. Jack Crichton’s Dallas 488th Army Reserve Intelligence unit, as well as Col. Frank “Brandy” Brandstetter, the manager of the Havana Hilton where Castro stayed when he first assumed power.

In any case, while George H.W. Bush may not have been at Dealey Plaza at the time of the assassination, he was in Dallas, stayed at the Sheraton, and was distinctly involved in various conspiratorial shennagans that we are still trying to figure out.

And it was supposed to be a “Kennedy Dynasty,” with RFK assuming power after JFK’s second term, and Teddy down the line, but instead, it became a Bush Dynisty after the assassinations of JFK and RFK.
