The Death of Bush: Another JFK Murderer Silenced?

Cloudy Bush2

—by Bill Watkins, 12-3-2018

***

I do not feel much for the loss of George Herbert Walker Bush, as many do on my favorite cable news channel, MSNBC.  What I do feel is regret that I did not work harder to get an interview with my uncle’s old boss.

Yes, I’m the nephew of a Bush Sr. cabinet appointee, Admiral James D. Watkins (1927-2012), called to run the Energy Department after heading up Ronald Reagan’s AIDS Commission in 1986.  Before that, my uncle served in the Navy, retiring as Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) not long before accepting the Reagan post.

Years and years earlier, a lot of mystery clouds George H.W. Bush.  Between gigs as a Yale undergrad, notorious Skull and Bones member, “Texas Oil Man” and a place in the House of U.S. Representatives—was he an active CIA operative, critical to the botched Bay of Pigs operation of 1961?  Was he in Dallas on November 22, 1963, and did he, like E. Howard Hunt, have a role in killing John F. Kennedy?

Watch John Hankey’s clever, upbeat horror doc to wake up from any nap, then join me in suspecting George H.W. Bush of covert activity and cover-stories while in the CIA throughout the 1960’s prior to being elected to Congress.  It’s called The Dark Legacy and is available wherever you stream your videos, or from his website: http://www.thedarklegacy.com/.

When I watch the burial services of George H.W. Bush, I feel no sadness.  Only regret that I did not push through with my connections to get a good interview with the man.  Maybe I could have appealed to his highly reported sense of “honor” and cough up some truth!  I believe another of JFK’s murderers has finally passed away this week, and you will too if you research around a bit.  Start with Oliver Stone’s JFK for overview, get into Jim Garrison’s book, On the Trail of the Assassins, then read everything attorney Mark Lane ever wrote on the subject of the Kennedy killing.

Killing Kennedy is not our only national sin, definitely not the first!  We killed off and lied to Native America, stole land, and worked that land with slaves we never paid nor made true amends to, I’m sorry to say.

If we are ever to be a decent country, we must tell the Truth.  The truth of this week for me is that I look forward to moving past another JFK farce, get back to Mueller squaring up Donald Trump for obvious crimes committed, including Obstructing Justice by firing James Comey at the five o’clock hour on May 9th, 2017.

The World Crashes

Kennedy shot, the victors sworn
in again and again until I’m
born in the middle of a haze
of Watergates and gold medals.

We won the peace from Britain,
got a chance to “run” our country,
always bickering but there was hope,
and indeed “God” was spoken
of and accepted, regardless of religion
attached.

“Mind your own business,” the first
message on currency, then in
God we trust, Good and Evil still
the game, no matter what occupations
occupied the country.

My haze.

I woke up yesterday and realized a final
blow to my theory that something
good entertained and enhanced my past.

The girls must’ve been allright, the middle
school dances—something was pure, right?

No one ever calls me anymore, those days
are gone, I’ve retained one friend from school,
most of its theories and lessons dashed.

“Sports” were touted as so good, people in
general were either good or bad,
despite Jesus’ protest at the young
man approaching, calling him “Good teacher!”

Only God is good.

Sports were microcosms, indeed, good
for analogy? But hard on the back, and
shoulders, and knees, and need I get into
American football? A real headache.

Good grades, performance on the field.

Alcohol wasn’t really that bad to drink—
look at our parents. Look at those
commercials, those hot girls.

How were we going to talk with them
unless buzzed?

No one to guide us or tell us the
truth, we were too big for Jeff Bridges,
Dude this was a fight we could not win,
a war waged within,

Death awaited my best friends… I, and I
did not die, but I tried, and escape overdose
everynight, injuries from the past light up
the sky only in poetry driving me
on to explore the Kennedy killers.

When that corrupt, stay away, but every
once in a while I approach the lion’s den
with guidance learned from bible study—

It’s called “ministry.” Police, war, guns
they need Fathers:

Son, still it is true that if you live by violence
you shall die by it. God bless you—

Love, William
