Mark Lane, Early Kennedy Assassination Conspiracy Theorist, Dies at 89

[Octafish]

40. But that's not what the post was about. Here's something else to know, Dude...

George Herbert Walker Bush, spooky oil man who would one day head CIA and lie America into an illegal and disastrous war in Iraq, son of Prescott Sheldon Bush who tried to overthrow FDR, and father of a pretzeldent who also would lie America into a disastrous war in Iraq, was in Dallas on November 22, 1963.

I don't find that funny. Nor do I find the death of President Kennedy or Mark Lane funny.

For those interested in learning:

On Nov. 22, 1963, in the hour of the death of President John F. Kennedy, Texas oilman George Herbert Walker Bush named a suspect to the FBI in a "confidential" phone call. He then added he was heading for Dallas. He warned the FBI only after President Kennedy was dead. What the FBI reported hearing from George HW Bush:

Why was Poppy Bush in Dallas when JFK was assassinated?

Here's an FBI document from the same week of the assassination in which FBI Director J Edgar Hoover briefed one "Mr. George Bush of the Central Intelligence Agency." Some strange coincidence there, wot?



Here's a transcript of the above:

Date: November 29, 1963

To: Director
Bureau of Intelligence and Research
Department of State

From: John Edgar Hoover, Director

Subject: ASSASSINATION OF PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY
NOVEMBER 22, 1963

Our Miami, Florida, Office on November 23, 1963, advised that the Office of Coordinator of Cuban Affairs in Miami advised that the Department of State feels some misguided anti-Castro group might capitalize on the present situation and undertake an unauthorized raid against Cuba, believing that the assassination of President John F. Kennedy might herald a change in U. S. policy, which is not true.

Our sources and informants familiar with Cuban matters in the Miami area advise that the general feeling in the anti-Castro Cuban community is one of stunned disbelief and, even among those who did not entirely agree with the President's policy concerning Cuba, the feeling is that the President's death represents a great loss not only to the U. S. but to all of Latin America. These sources know of no plans for unauthorized action against Cuba.

An informant who has furnished reliable information in the past and who is close to a small pro-Castro group in Miami has advised that these individuals are afraid that the assassination of the President may result in strong repressive measures being taken against them and, although pro-Castro in their feelings, regret the assassination.

The substance of the foregoing information was orally furnished to Mr. George Bush of the Central Intelligence Agency and Captain William Edwards of the Defense Intelligence Agency on November 23, 1963, by Mr. W. T. Forsyth of this Bureau.

I do remember that GHWB was head of the CIA when the Church Committee was looking into the CIA assassination programs. He made things all friendly-like and turned what had been a serious hunt for truth under previous DCI Colby into another dog-and-pony show that was big on show and light on facts.

PS: Poppy Bush sheltered mass-murdering jet-bombing terrorists like Luis Posada Carriles. I don't find that lack of respect for human life funny, either.
