"The Bush Body Count"
Paul Wilcher
His partially
decomposed body was found in his home, still seated on the toilet. According to
the Washington Times, "...he was investigating the theory of an 'October
Surprise' conspiracy during the 1980 federal election campaign. He had been
interviewing an inmate who claimed to have piloted George
Bush to Paris so he could secretly seek to delay the release of 52
American hostages in Iran."
Sid Adger
<http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/news/nation-world/html98/bush_19990909.html>
Mr. Adger, a Houston oil supply company executive and Bush family friend, died in
1996 of unknown causes. Adger was the mysterious businessman who
approached General James Rose and asked him to help George W. Bush avoid Vietnam by
recommending him for a pilot position with the National
Guard.
General James Rose
<http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/news/nation-world/html98/bush_19990909.html>
General Rose recommended George W.
Bush for a pilot position with the Texas
National Guard. He died of unknown causes in 1993. He was
immediately buried and no autopsy was performed.
Orlando Letelier
<http://www.bk2k.com/bushbodycount/links.html>
He was torn to bits by a car bomb on the streets of Washington DC just
before he was to testify against the Chilean dictator Pinochet. After the
bombing, CIA Director George H. W.
Bush told the FBI that there had been no
Chilean involvement whatsoever. In 1991 the post-Pinochet Chilean Supreme Court
asked George H. W. Bush if he would submit to questioning. BUSH
REFUSED.
Ronni Moffit <http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/CIA
Hits/Letelier_CIAHits.html>
She was
Letelier's assistant. She and her husband were riding in the car with Letelier
when the bomb exploded. Mr. Moffit survived. Ronni didn't.
Amiram Nir
<http://www.bk2k.com/bushbodycount/links.html>
He was a former Israeli agent who was in Jerusalem with George Bush during Iran Contra.
He went under the assumed name of Pat Weber. Nir was scheduled to testify to the
Senate subcommittee and it was feared he would reveal the truth. He
perished when his aircraft was shot down with missiles from the helicopter of a
man called Gene Tatum, 25-year CIA deep cover agent.
Senator John Tower
<http://www.bk2k.com/bushbodycount/links.html>
He was appointed by the Reagan/Bush Administration to
chair the bipartisan committee to investigate the Iran/Contra scandals. He
directed the Tower Report and had all the Iran Contra documents that told the
real story. He was killed in an airplane crash later in Georgia in
1991. Also killed was his daughter, Marian.
Mario Ruiz Massieu
<http://web-cr05.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/mexico/family/marioruizmassieu.html>
An apparent suicide, Massieu was facing charges that he laundered
money for the cocaine cartels. A Houston, Texas jury had found that $8 million
in his bank accounts was paid to him by cocaine cartels.
Steve Kangas
<http://www.politicalamazon.com/kangas.html>
His web site, Liberalism Resurgent, was meticulously researched and
presented such a problem to the "real boss" of George
Bush, Richard Scaife, that he hired a private
detective to look into Kangas' past. Steve Kangas was found in a 39th-floor
bathroom outside of Scaife's offices at One Oxford Centre, in Pittsburgh, an
apparent suicide. Mr. Kangas, a very prolific writer, left no note. He
had brought a fully-packed suitcase of clothes with him to Pittsburgh. He bought
a burglar alarm shortly before he left for Pittsburgh. Why did he need a burglar
alarm if he was going to commit suicide? An avowed advocate of gun control,
he nevertheless bought a gun. What was he afraid of? Why did he go to
Pittsburgh? After his death, his computer was sold for $150 and its hard drive
wiped clean. Everything in his apartment was thrown away.
Mohammed Zia al-huk
<http://www.bk2k.com/bushbodycount/links.html>
Dictator of Pakistan, and knew all about Iran/Contra, the training,
funding, and arming of narco-terrorists like Osama bin Laden. In August 1988,
the same day George Bush got the Republican nomination, his plane crashed into the ground with
all engines running. The Pakistanis kept the bodies around (in violation of
Islamic custom) for weeks, awaiting US experts. They showed up three weeks later
and never checked the bodies. Why?
Malcolm Baldridge
Commerce Secretary
May 1987. Baldridge was familiar with the Bush family ties to the
Communist Chinese. He died in a mysterious horseback riding
accident.
Karla Faye Tucker
<http://www.time.com/time/magazine/articles/0,3266,39180,00.html>
She was executed in spite of enormous protest from the public, even those
religious groups that advocate the death penalty. Even Pat Robertson thought
that Karla was truly repentant and asked George W.
Bush to spare her life. He refused.
Afterward, in a Talk Magazine interview, this stalwart of the Republican
Party made fun of the woman whose death warrant he had sanctioned. How
compassionate!
John Fitzgerald Kennedy
<http://www.bk2k.com/bushbodycount/links.html>
An internal FBI memo reported that on November 22 a reputed businessman
named George H. W. Bush reported hearsay that a certain Young Republican had been talking of
killing the President when he came to Houston. The Young Republican was nowhere
near Dallas on that date. According to a 1988 story in The Nation, J. Edgar
Hoover said in a memo that Mr. George Bush of the
CIA had been briefed on November 23rd, 1963
about the reaction of anti-Castro Cuban exiles in Miami to the assassination of
President Kennedy. George H. W.
Bush has denied this, although he was in
Texas and cannot account for his whereabouts at the time.
Hale
Boggs
<http://www.bk2k.com/bushbodycount/links.html>He sat on the Warren Commission, which concluded
that President Kennedy was slain by a lone assassin. Later, in 1971 and '72,
Boggs said that the Warren Report was false and that J. Edgar Hoover's FBI not
only helped cover up the JFK murder but blackmailed Congress with massive
wire-tapping and spying. He named Warren Commission staff member Arlen Specter
as a major cover-up artist. Congressman Boggs' plane disappeared on a
flight to Alaska in 1972. The press, the military, and the CIA publicly
proclaimed the plane could not be located. Investigators later said that was
a lie, that the plane had been found. On the plane were Nick Begich,
a very popular Democratic Congressman, and Don Jonz, an aide to Mr.
Boggs. All were killed.
George de Mohrenschildt
<http://www.bk2k.com/bushbodycount/links.html>
A rich Russian oilman, he was described with his wife as being the two
people friendliest to Oswald at the time of the assassination. De Mohrenschildt
was the man who moved Oswald to Dallas. In the late 1970's, shortly before the
first meeting of the House Select Committee on Assassinations, de Mohrenschildt
started seeing a new doctor in town. He quickly became mentally unstable, at
which time his wife convinced him to stop seeing the doctor. They moved away and
left a false forwarding address. On the same day that the Committee tried to
contact him about testifying, he was found dead of a gunshot wound. In his
personal address book was the entry Bush, George H.W.
(Poppy) and Zapata
Petroleum Midland (the oil company owned by
George H.W. Bush).
Barry Seal
<http://www.bk2k.com/bushbodycount/links.html>
He was supposedly murdered by Medellin cartel members, but a 6-month
investigation by Sam Dalton, attorney for three of the accused murderers, into
Mr. Seal's life and death uncovered some interesting points. The
accused's cartel connections were well known, but not their association with
Oliver North's enterprise. Mr. Seal was a drug smuggler, up to his armpits in
smuggling cocaine for - guess who? - the CIA. During the penalty
phase of the Columbians' trial, testimony by one government witness on the
activities of Mr. Seal was so damaging to the government that 2 of the jurors
wanted to change their verdict to "not guilty". The personal telephone number of
George H. W. Bush
was found in the trunk of Mr. Seal's car.
William Colby
<http://www.odci.gov/cia/public_affairs/press_release/archives/1996/ps051396.html>
This former CIA director disappeared in an apparent boating
accident, and a body was later discovered (minus the life jacket Colby's
friends insisted he always wore while boating) and buried promptly. John
DeCamp, a lawyer from Lincoln, Nebraska, and Colby's close friend and confidant,
said Colby's death was not an accident. He stated that Colby was prepared
to disclose that missing P.O.W.'s were working for a dope smuggling operation
orchestrated by General Colin Powell, Pentagon official Richard Armitage, and
George H. W. Bush.
Mrs. E.
Howard Hunt
<http://www.weberman.com/nodules/nodule20.htm>In December 1972, while George H. W. Bush was at the Republican National Convention, a
United Airlines flight carrying Mrs. Dorothy Hunt, CIA operative and wife of
Howard Hunt, (CIA operative and suspect in the Kennedy assassination) crashed.
Believed to be carrying $25,000 in "hush money", she died in this
crash.
Vince Foster
<http://www.assumption.edu/WebVAX/Foster/Juhl5Nov95.html>
It has been conjectured that Mr. Foster was killed by Republican
operatives for George Bush after he found evidence of Bush involvement in the death
of Mrs. E. Howard Hunt when reviewing the White House Travel Office
files.
Danny Casolaro
He was working on a
book that tied together the scandals surrounding the presidency of George H. W. Bush. He told his
friends he was going to "bring back" the head of the Octopus. Instead, his body
was found in a hotel in Martinsburg, West Virginia, on August 10, 1991, an
apparent suicide.
Don McCoy
<http://www.bk2k.com/bushbodycount/links.html>
Mr. McCoy had agreed the day before to turn state's evidence in an FBI
investigation that threatened some of El Paso's most prominent business leaders.
On February 19, 1988, he took off from El Paso International Airport, banked to
the right and headed southwest for approximately 2 ½ miles before his plane
slammed into the I-10 right-of-way and exploded. With him was his secretary and
her 11-year old son. All three were killed.
Olof Palme
<http://www.50megs.com/davidicke/icke/magazine/vol5/bush/bush17.htm>
He was the prime minister of Sweden, assassinated in 1986. Oliver North,
the golden boy of the Bush/Reagan machine, had met
with Mr. Palme to discuss the possibility of obtaining false end-user
certificates for the plethora of weapons that were being purchased, so that they
would seem to have come from a country other than the U.S. Mr. Palme refused to
participate, after the plan was presented to him. He was dead within
weeks.
Archbishop Oscar Romero
<http://www.icomm.ca/carecen/page41.html>
Archbishop Romero was a true hero, speaking out against atrocities by a
Bush/Reagan-backed
fascist government. He refused to appear in public with any army or government
personnel, and was a voice for the thousands of tortured, slaughtered and
oppressed in El Salvador. He was shot in the back while preparing Mass.
The death of Archbishop Romero is one among many. There is not enough space to
list the hundreds of thousands who died under Reagan/Bush-backed, right-wing
governments.
David Wayne Spence
<http://www.commondreams.org/headlines/061100-01.htm>
David Wayne Spence was executed in Texas in 1997 in spite of compelling
evidence of his innocence. Two of the State's witnesses were co-defendants who
testified to avoid the death penalty, one of whom changed his story three times
in response to discrepancies. He later testified that D.A. Simons encouraged him
to alter his testimony. Two other witnesses for the State were jailhouse
snitches who recanted later and stated that Simons offered them favors in
exchange for testimony. All of this and more was supposedly reviewed by Governor
George W. Bush, but
Bush refused to
commute his sentence, and did not order the Board of Pardons and Paroles to
review his request for clemency. It is a myth that a Texas Governor can do
nothing to stop executions; the Board will almost always go with his
recommendation. Bush washed his hands of the matter and did nothing. Reasonable doubt is
not a factor in Texas justice.
Gary Graham
Gary Graham was convicted
of the robbery and murder of a white man in 1981. Nearly two weeks after the
crime, the state's prime witness could not pick Gary's picture out of a photo
line-up. Mr. Graham was arrested with a 22 caliber pistol. The victim had
been killed with a 22, but the police firearms examiner determined that Mr.
Graham's gun DID NOT fire the fatal bullet. Four witnesses said Gary Graham
was with them, miles away from the convenience store, when the murder occured.
All four took and passed polygraph tests. George W. Bush, predictably,
expressed his faith in the Texas judicial system and allowed Mr. Graham to be
put to death. Mr. Graham maintained his innocence to the end.
William Casey
<http://www.consortiumnews.com/archive/xfile7.html>
William Casey was CIA Director during the Reagan/Bush Administration. He
died 2 days before
he was to testify about his and others' involvement in the Iran/Contra
scandal.
Lt. Colonel William Harris, Jr.
<http://www.cis.net/~coldfeet/Intro.htm>
Lt. Col. William Harris was one of two commanding officers who could not
perform George W. Bush's annual evaluation covering the year from May 1, 1972 to April 30, 1973.
They stated in their filing that "Lt. Bush has not been observed at this unit
during the period of this report." Fortunately for George W. Bush, Lt. Col. Harris
is not here to verify his 1973 statement. He's dead.
Lt. Colonel Jerry B. Killian
<http://www.cis.net/~coldfeet/Intro.htm>
Lt. Col. Jerry B. Killian was another of George
W. Bush's commanding officers. He cannot
testify in a court of law as to George W.
Bush's dereliction of his sworn duty. Lt.
Col. Killian is dead.
Edmond J. Safra
<http://www.consortiumnews.com/120499a.html>
Banker Edmond J. Safra died mysteriously when a fire swept his
Monaco penthouse apartment. His banks had been used for laundering money by the
Bush Iran/Contra
traitors.
Charles Ruff
Attorney Charles Ruff successfully defended
President Bill Clinton against the smear campaign by the reich wing Bush machine. He died of an
accident in his home. Details of the accident are unknown. Ruff
had been assisting Vice President Al Gore's legal team during the recount
proceedings in Florida, where a battle for the right to know the will of the
people is raging.
Lars Erik Nelson
<http://www.bk2k.com/bushbodycount/nelson.html>
Lars-Erik Nelson was a reporter for the New York Daily News and a
constant critic of George
Bush throughout the 2000 Presidential
campaign. He wrote a series of articles on how Bush was trying to steal the
Florida election. Found dead in his living room of an apparent stroke on
November 21, 2000, the very day that Bush lawyers were making their
arguments before the Florida Supreme Court.
Henry B. Gonzalez
<http://www.sfbg.com/News/32/21/Features/iraq.html>
Henry Gonzalez, former Congressman from Texas, was the Chairman of the
House Banking Committee during the Reagan and
Bush years. He oversaw hearings on the
S&L fiasco which nailed Neil
Bush, and tried to have both Reagan and George Bush
impeached. In a speech before Congress on July 27, 1992, Gonzalez revealed that
George Bush signed
a top secret National Security Decision directive, known as NSD 26, ordering
closer ties with Saddam Hussein and Iraq. Henry Gonzalez died of unknown
causes on November 27, 2000.
Charles M. McKee and Matthew Gannon
<http://www.bk2k.com/bushbodycount/links.html>
Charles M. McKee, ostensibly a military attache for the DIA in Beirut,
Matthew Gannon, CIA Deputy Station Chief in Beirut, and three others were on
board Pan Am Flight 103, which exploded over Lockerbie, Scotland. They were part
of a counterterrorist team in Beirut investigating the possible rescue of 9
American hostages in Lebanon. The McKee team uncovered evidence that a rogue CIA
unit called COREA, based in Wiesbaden, was doing business with a man called
Monzer Al-Kassar, a Syrian arms dealer and drug trafficker. Al-Kassar was part
of the covert network run by U.S. Lieut. Colonel Oliver North. Outraged that the
COREA unit in Wiesbaden was doing business with a Syrian who had close terrorist
connections and might endanger their chances of rescuing the hostages, the McKee
team decided to fly back to Virginia unannounced and expose the COREA unit's
secret deal with al-Kassar. They never got there. "For three years, I've had
a feeling that if Chuck hadn't been on that plane, it wouldn't have been
bombed," said Beulah McKee, 75, Charles McKee's mother, to Time Magazine.
Four months after her son was killed for his efforts to expose the CIA,
Mrs. McKee received a sympathy letter from George H.
W. Bush. Mrs. McKee has never been satisfied
with the government's version of events.
Mae Brussel <http://www.maebrussell.com/Mae's articles/Mae's
JFK article.html>
A California housewife,
she became interested in the JFK assassination after seeing the televised
shooting of Lee Harvey Oswald by Jack Ruby. After eight years of extensive
research, her conclusions were that John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy and
Martin Luther King, Jr., were all killed by the same monster - the "shadow"
government formed when our own people collaborated with top Nazi officials at
the close of World War II.
Robert Kennedy <http://www.maebrussell.com/Mae's
articles/Mae's JFK article.html>
Robert
Kennedy was assassinated on the eve of his election in June, 1968. According to
Mae Brussels (see above) all of the Kennedy brothers were an immense thorn in
the side of the Reich Wing.
Martin Luther King, Jr. <http://www.maebrussell.com/Mae's
articles/Mae's JFK article.html>
One of the
most beloved men in history, Martin Luther King, Jr., brought hope to the
disenfranchised and showed us all how peaceful demonstration and determination
can turn the tide. He was assassinated by James Earl Ray, who later recanted his
admission that he acted on his own, and implicated the Bush CIA.
Toshiya Sakashima, Yusuke Terata, Katsuya Nomoto, Takeshi
Mizuguchi, all 17 years old, instructors Hiroshi Makizawa, 37, and Jun Nakata,

chief radio operator Hirotaka Segawa, 60
<http://www.japantimes.co.jp/>
.
All were
killed when a Navy attack sub driven by civilian contributors to the USS
Missouri Memorial Association, chaired by George H.W.
Bush, collided with the Japanese training
ship Ehime Maru. Rumor is that at least one of the civilians was a contributor
to the campaign of George W.
Bush.
Eliza May, Sarah Harbison, Jennifer Harbison and Amy Ayers
<http://www.davidicke.net/emagazine/vol5/yogurt/yogurt1.htm>
These four teenaged girls were murdered at a Yogurt Shop in an affluent
strip mall in Austin TX on December 6, 1991. Horrific as their deaths are, it is
even more chilling to speculate that perhaps their deaths were planned. Why? To
launder insurance money. The attorney investigating this horrible scam presented
the file to George W. Bush, who, true to form, did nothing.
Governor Mel Carnahan
<http://www.kcstar.com/item/pages/home.pat,local/3774d8a4.a17,.html>
In the midst of a heated race for the Senate against John Ashcroft, the
Governor died in a plane crash on October 16, 2000. His death affected Democrats
in two ways - it would hurt their chances of seizing control of the US Senate,
and it would strongly impact the Presidential race between Al Gore and
George W. Bush.
Said St. Louis University political scientist Ken Warren, "There will be a
sympathy vote, but that won't be enough to allow him to win. "I don't think the
race will be very close. It's over." As we know now, Ashcroft lost to a dead
man. Carnahan was elected by a landslide.
Heinz Prechter
<http://detnews.com/2001/metro/0107/08/a01-244716.htm>
Mr. Prechter was a supporter of George H. W.
Bush and his idiot son, George W. Bush, and contributed
heavily to both of their campaigns. Scant months into the Residency of
George W. Bush,
Heinz Prechter, a man who had everything to live for, committed suicide.
Why?
James Hatfield
<http://www.express-news.net/auth/ennews/ap/texas/d0637.html>
Mr. Hatfield was the author of Fortunate Son
<http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1887128751/bk2kwebdesign>, an unauthorized biography of George W.
Bush. The book detailed Bush's cocaine use and cover up
of a cocaine arrest. He was found Wednesday, July 18, in a motel room, an
apparent suicide.
Lori Klausutis
<http://tabletalk.salon.com/webx?50@@.eec6920/3040>
Lori Klausutis, age 28, was found dead behind a desk in the offices of US
Representative Joe Scarborough of Florida, a Republican, on July 20, 2001. Death
was apparently due to a blow on the head. Claims that a heart condition
precipitated an accidental fall are tenuous at best; Lori was a marathon runner,
and one would think that a heart condition would already have become apparent.
At the time of her death, she was treasurer of her chapter of the Florida Federation of Young Republicans
<http://states.yrock.com/florida/>. Readers
will note that there is no mention of young Lori's passing, although there
is that ever-present link to the Chandra/Gary dungheap that commands the
attention of our media.
It is an interesting coincidence that Tim Klausitus,
Lori's husband, worked on targeting technology for missiles, in light of the
fact that Lori's body was discovered within a week of George W. Bush's
much-ballyhooed missile defense test. Another interesting tidbit: Rep.
Scarborough sits on both the Military Construction and the Research and
Development Subcommittees. Scarborough has resigned and is leaving office in
November, giving his family as the reason.
Bob Stevens
<http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2001/10/09/anthrax/index_np.html>
Mr. Stevens died of a mysterious case of anthrax. He worked as a
photo editor for American Media, who owns the National Enquirer. The Bush family suffered enormous
embarrassment at the hands of the Enquirer when they published a photo of
daughter Jenna Bush, obviously intoxicated, cigarette in hand, cavorting on the floor with
another drunken female.
Don C. Wiley
<http://donwiley.newstrove.com/>
Dr.
Wiley disappeared November 15, 2001 in Memphis, Tennessee. He was attending a
two-day annual meeting of the scientific advisory board of St. Jude Children's
Research Hospital. His work on deadly diseases such as ebola and HIV raised
fears of a terrorist kidnapping. Four hours later, his rental car was found on a
bridge, raising the question of suicide, which his family vehemently refuted
<http://abcnews.go.com/sections/us/DailyNews/missingscientist011128.html>. Dr. Wiley was found a month later in the Mississipi
River.

Set Van Nguyen
<http://www.smh.com.au/news/0112/12/national/national104.html>
A microbiologist at CSIRO's animal diseases facility was found dead in an
airlock after wife became worried after he failed to return from work. There
were no witnesses to his death.
The bodies are stacking up like cordwood in scientific circles,
and the scientists who work on SDI are no exception:
Alistair Beckham
<http://www.textfiles.com/politics/sdi-art1.001>
He was only one of a string of scientists, now dead, who had one thing in
common: they all worked in some capacity for the Strategic Defense Initiative,
or SDI, more commonly known as "Star Wars".
Dr. Keith Bowden
<http://www.textfiles.com/politics/sdi-art1.001>
This Essex University computer scientist had worked for one of the major
Star Wars contractors in England. His car suddenly crossed 4 lanes of traffic
and plunged off a bridge. Dr. Bowden was dead at the scene. Authorities claim he
was drunk; family, and friends with whom he spent the evening suspect a coverup
and deny that Dr. Bowden had been drinking.
David Sands
<http://www.textfiles.com/politics/sdi-art1.001>
Worked on a top secret computer-controlled satellite-radar system. In
March 1987 he made a u-turn on his way to work and drove straight into a wall;
the car exploded on impact.
Vimal Dajibhai
<http://www.textfiles.com/politics/sdi-art1.001>
Worked in the creation of software for a computerized Star Wars system at
Marconi Underwater Systems. He was found lying on the pavement, 240 feet below
the Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol.
Ashaad Sharif
<http://www.textfiles.com/politics/sdi-art1.001>
This computer analyst for Marconi Defense Systems headquarters tied one
end of a nylon stocking around his neck and the other around a tree, got into
his car and accelerated away, decapitating himself. While Marconi stated that he
was just a minor employee, coworkers said that was untrue. In fact, Mr. Sharif
worked for a while in Vimal Dajibhai's section. Police said that he was
depressed over a failed romance, but he had not seen the woman in question for
years, nor was there any reason to believe that they had ever had an
affair.
Peter Peapell
<http://www.textfiles.com/politics/sdi-art1.001>
He was a world authority on communications technology, electronics
surveillance and target detection. After an evening out with his wife, she went
straight to bed, leaving him to put the car away. The next morning, after waking
up alone, she found him under the car, his mouth directly below the tail pipe,
dead. An officer found that it was next to impossible for a man Peapell's size
to crawl under the car.
Lieutenant Colonel Anthony Godley (missing), Roger Hill,
Jonathan Walsh, Richard Pugh, John Brittan, Victor Moore, Edwin Skeels, Stuart
Gooding, George Kountis, Mark Wisner, Michael Baker, Frank Jennings, Russel
Smith, Trevor Knight, John Ferry, Andrew Hall
<http://www.textfiles.com/politics/sdi-art1.001>
. Like the last six bodies on the previous page, these men were scientist
who worked on SDI. The current occupant of the White House is following in his
father's footsteps in keeping the outrageously expensive and dangerous Strategic
Defense Initiative alive. To what lengths?

fame.
J. Clifford Baxter
<http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nm/20020125/ts/enron_baxter_dc_2.html>
Found dead in his car, an apparent suicide. Mr. Baxter was vice
chairman of Enron Corp. when he resigned in May 2001. Enron has been hot copy
lately with the revelation that they were the largest campaign contributors for
George W. Bush. Was
J. Clifford Baxter a potential witness to Bush foreknowledge of their
wrongdoings? We'll never know.
James Daniel Watkins
<http://www.rockymountainnews.com/drmn/local/article/0,1299,DRMN_15_905941,00.html>
His body was discovered on December 1, 2001 in the Pike National Forest
in Colorado. Mr. Watkins was a consultant for Arthur Andersen, the accounting
firm for Enron. He disappeared on November 13 after he left work. He was
described as a devoted family man who always called home if he were going to be
late. Officials initially said that the death was suspicious, but have changed
their tune and have ruled his death a suicide.
Paul Sliter
<http://www.missoulian.com/archives/index.inn?loc=detail&doc=/2001/December/06-1781-news17.txt>
Majority Leader of the Montana House of Representatives, he died in a
fatal accident on a remote mountain road after having supper with several GOP
and power industry big wigs. His body was found outside the vehicle while the
driver received only minor injuries. To account for eyewitness accounts that the
two hadn't been drinking enough that night to account for their reported BAC,
Hedges later claimed that the two had picked up "a couple of sixpacks for the
drive" to the supperclub. (It would seem surprising that two young career-minded
raising stars of the GOP would get themselves tanked before a dinner with some
of the most influential people in Washington.) Almost every form of print media
in the state of Montana is owned by a single company, Lee Enterprises, Inc.,
which has expunged the names of two of the first witnesses on the scene, GOP
bigwigs Jim Innocenzi and John Maddox, in their coverage of events. It's as if
they weren't even there. The third person to arrive on the scene was an
ex-military Bush
Sr.-appointed federal marshall and power industry consultant, Leo
Giacometto.
Salem bin Laden
<http://www.inthesetimes.com/issue/25/25/feature3.shtml>
In 1979 Bush
business Arbusto Energy obtained financing from James Bath, a close family
friend. Bath had extensive ties to BCCI and the bin Laden family. Bath was the
sole U.S. business representative for Salem bin Laden, the brother of Osama bin
Laden. It is well known in certain circles that the Arbusto money came straight
from Salem bin Laden, although Bush denies it. Salem bin Laden
died when for no apparent reason, he flew his airplane into power lines where it
became entangled, and fell 150 feet to the ground. "He was a very experienced
pilot. He was a good pilot. We just can't understand why he decided to go right
instead of left," recalled airstrip owner Earl May field.
John F. Kennedy, Jr.
<http://www.guardian.co.uk/kennedy/story/0,2763,206565,00.html>
It was rumored that he planned to run for the Senate, a move that would
have assured the defeat of Republican Rudy Giuliani. No one can deny that John
Jr. could have won any election, against any Republican candidate. His plane
went down in July 1999 off the coast of Martha's vinyard. With him were his
wife, Carolyn and her sister, Lauren Bessette. With them died the last shreds of
a dream that we called Camelot.
Chandra Levy
<http://dir.yahoo.com/Society_and_Culture/People/Missing_Persons/Chandra_Levy/>
Ms. Levy has been missing since May 1, 2001. There has been much
speculation and innuendo about Chandra and Rep. Gary Condit. Many people are
convinced that he had something to do with her disappearance. The media uproar,
which has only recently abated, drowned out any mention of the theft of Election
2000 and the sheer incompetence of the thief, and certainly put an end to Mr.
Condit's Presidential aspirations. Ask yourself, dear reader, cui bono?
Who benefits? George W.
Bush, that's who.
Commerce Secretary Ron Brown
<http://www.lewrockwell.com/watson/watson23.html>
He died in a plane crash on April 3, 1996. Was Ron Brown the first Enron
body? In 1995 Enron officials accompanied Brown on a trade mission to India, and
to Russia in 1994. Speculation among right-wing whackos suggests that our last
duly-elected President, Bill Clinton, was somehow responsible for his death, but
we wonder: was Secretary Brown privy to information that would conclusively link
George W. Bush to
Enron greed and corruption? Charles Meissner, Assistant Commerce
Secretary, also died in this crash.
Jake Horton
<http://www.guardian.co.uk/enron/story/0,11337,643422,00.html>
He was the senior ice-president of Gulf Power, a subsidiary of Southern
Company, a cohort of Enron in the energy industry, and a major contributer to the Bush agenda. According to
reporter Gregory Palast in the linked article, Horton knew of the company's
appalling accounting practices, and "... he had no doubt about its illegal
campaign contributions to Florida politicans - he'd
made the payments himself. In April of 1989 Horton
decided to come clean with state officials, and reserved the company jet to go
confront company officials. Ten minutes after takeoff the jet
exploded.
Thomas Morris Jr.
<http://www.reporter-news.com/1998/2001/anthrax/list1106.html>
Mr. Morris was a postal worker who died October 21, 2001, of inhalation
anthrax. When people expressed concern to the current occupant of the White
House about the anthrax cases in New York and Washington, his response was to
tell us not to worry, that he does not have anthrax.
Joseph Curseen
<http://www.reporter-news.com/1998/2001/anthrax/list1106.html>
Mr. Curseen died October 22, 2001, of inhalation anthrax. It has been
reported that the anthrax infections since September 11 are of the same
strain that was kept in a military facility.
Kathy T. Nguyen
<http://www.reporter-news.com/1998/2001/anthrax/list1106.html>
Ms. Nguyen died on October 31, 2001, of inhalation anthrax. But we
shouldn't worry - George W.
Bush remains anthrax-free.
Don
Aronow
<http://www.padrak.com/alt/BUSHBOOK_8.html>He was a close friend of George H. W. Bush. According to the book "George Bush, the
Unauthorized Biography, there is compelling evidence to conclude that Aronow
was a drug smuggler and suspected drug-money launderer.. He was murdered by
professional killers on February 3, 1987. In the days before his death, he made
many personal calls to George H. W.
Bush.
Tommy Teagle, a man interviewed by Thomas Burdick, was afraid of
being murdered by Bush because he had knowledge that Aronow and Jeb
Bush had been partners in cocaine trafficking.
Daniel Pearl
<http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A8261-2002Feb14.html>
Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl disappeared on January 23,
2002, while investigating a story on Islamic militants. One day after a meeting
between Pakistani President met with Bush to discuss Pearl's
kidnapping, Pakistani Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh confessed to his kidnapping and
informed authorities that Mr. Pearl was dead, killed because demands to
repatriate Pakistanis who had been captured during the War for Oil in
Afghanistan, and who are now being held in Guantanamo Bay, were not
met.
James Downing Aalund
<http://www.nara.gov/nara/electronic/txalviet.html>
Mr. Aalund's name is the first on a long list of young Texans who died in
Vietnam. These young men did not have influential fathers to pull the strings
necessary to get them into the Texas Air National Guard. If they had been so
lucky, they would surely have fulfilled their responsibilities to the ANG, if
only out of gratitude that they did not have to die, thousands of miles away in
a strange land. They surely would not have disappeared
from duty for over a year
<http://www.awolbush.com/>, as did our
fearless leader George W.
Bush.
William S. Farish
<http://www.padrak.com/alt/BUSHBOOK_1.html>
He was partners with Prescott
Bush in their business dealings with Adolph
Hitler. He was devastated by the intense grilling he received from the Senate
about his dealings with Nazis, and while Prescott
Bush skated free, Farish collapsed and died
on November 29, 1942.
William Stamps Farish, Jr.
<http://www.padrak.com/alt/BUSHBOOK_1.html>
He was humiliated by the public disclosure of his father's complicity
with Nazis via his partnership with Prescott
Bush. He died in a training accident
in Texas six months later.
The roots of Bush prosperity are firmly entrenched in a history
of murder and treason.
James Forrestal
<http://www.padrak.com/alt/BUSHBOOK_2.html>
He was U.S. Secretary of Defense, and become a problem for
Prescott Bush when
he proposed racial integration of the Armed Forces. On March 28, 1949, he was
forced out of office and flown on a military plane to Jupiter Island in Florida.
>From there he was taken to Walter Reed Army Hospital, where he was given
insulin shock treatments. He was shielded from all visitors except his estranged
wife. From "George Bush, the Unauthorized Biography":
On May 22, Forrestal's body was found, his bathrobe cord tied
tightly around his neck, after he had plunged from a sixteenth-story hospital
window. The chief psychiatrist called the death a suicide even before any
investigation was started. The results of the Army's inquest were kept secret.
Forrestal's diaries were published, 80 percent deleted, after a year of direct
government censorship and rewriting.
Michael Hand
<http://www.projectfreedom.cng1.com/war_on_drugs.html>
He was a Green Beret and an Army Colonel assigned to the CIA. He ran the
Nugan Hand Bank, a front for CIA drug money, in Sydney, Australia. He was in
frequent contact with George Bush after his election to Vice President,
according to CIA operative Trento Parker. Michael Hand was found in his car on a
remote road outside Sydney, dead of an apparent suicide. There were no
fingerprints on the gun.
Jack Delaney and Ted White
<http://www.padrak.com/alt/BUSHBOOK_2.html>
These young men were killed when pilot George
H. W. Bush abandoned his plane when it was
hit by enemy fire. Much has been made of this story - Bush propaganda would have
us believe that he was a hero. An eyewitness to the event tells us otherwise:
Chester Mierzejewski, who was the turret gunner in another plane, had an
unobstructed view. He states that he saw a "puff of smoke" come from Bush's plane and quickly
dissipate. He states that the plane was never on fire and that
Bush never
attempted a water landing, which was standard procedure, and which would
have given Mr. Delaney and Mr. White a chance.
Lou Russell
<http://www.padrak.com/alt/BUSHBOOK_5.html>
Lou Russell worked as a private detective for an agency that was helping
George H.W. Bush,
then chairman of the RNC, prepare for a press conference. It is a rumor that Lou
Russell was the fabled "sixth burglar" of Watergate, the one who got away. On
May 16, 1973, "Deep Throat" warned Bob Woodward that "Everyone's life is in
danger." and that "electronic surveillance is going on and we had better
watch it.". On May 18, Lou Russell suffered a massive heart attack that put
him in Adventist Hospital, where he recovered somewhat and stayed until June 20.
Russell told his daughter that he believed he had been poisoned. On July 2, two
weeks after his release from the hospital, he had another "heart attack" and
died.
John Leon
<http://www.padrak.com/alt/bushbook_5.html>
He was a friend and associate of Lou Russell. He was collecting
statements about Watergate, and was to be the focus of a press conference. Leon
suffered a "heart attack" and died, on the day before the conference was to be
held.
Katherine Smith
<http://www.jewishworldreview.com/michelle/malkin030802.asp>
She had been implicated in February in a phony passport scheme said to be
related to the September 11 hijackers. One day before she was due in court, she
was incinerated in her car after having hit a utility pole. An investigation
revealed that the crash was minor and was not the cause of the fire that
burned Smith beyond recognition. Who was really behind 9/11? Was
Katherine Smith privy to that information? Why did she have to die, and who
killed her?
Dan Rocco
<http://www.choicepoint.net/news/rocco.html>
He died on April 1, 2002, in a plane crash in Gainesville, Georgia. He
was an executive vice president at ChoicePoint, the firm that gained infamy with
their faulty "felons" list supplied to Katherine Harris during the 2000 election
in Florida. As a result of this list, thousands of voters (mostly
African-American voters) were wrongly identified as felons and purged from the
rolls.
Suzanne Jovin
<http://www.stormtronic.co.uk/9-11/riddlemethis.htm>
This young Yale student was found stabbed to death about a mile from
campus. Did Ms. Jovin discover a secret that resulted in her murder? In the fall
of 1998, Ms. Jovin's thesis was about Osama bin Laden. Her thesis advisor, James
Van de Velde, was the only suspect in her murder, which was never solved. Yale
did not renew his contract at the end of the year, but Mr. Van de Velde did not
have to worry about his teaching income - he was given a top-level security
clearance and a job at the Pentagon. A coincidence? Or payment for a job well
done?
Gary Caradori
<http://www.padrak.com/alt/BUSHBOOK_8.html>
He was investigating Lawrence E. King, Jr., a very influential black
Republican who was also a friend of George H.W.
Bush. King was director of the Franklin
Community Credit Union in Omaha, Nebraska, and was suspected of embezzling $40
million . Within weeks, the Nebraska Senate found itself questioning child
prostitutes, who accused King of running a child prostitution ring. One of these
children said that she saw George H.W.
Bush at one of King's parties. "Pronto", a
newspaper in Barcelona, Spain, reported that the scandal "appears to directly
implicate politicos of the state of Nebraska and Washington DC who are very
close to the White House and George Bush
himself". On July 11, 1990, Gary Caradori was killed along with his 6-year
old son in the crash of his small plane, after a mid-air explosion, the cause of
which was never discovered. He had told friends repeatedly in the weeks before
his death that he was afraid his plane would be sabotaged.
Mark Lombardi
<http://www.pierogi2000.com/memorial/lombardiobit.html>
He was an accomplished conceptual artist who, while chatting on the phone
with a banker friend about the Bush savings and loan scandal,
started doodling a diagram and was inspired to create a complex series of
drawings and sketches that charted the details of the scandal. According to the
New York Times, "He was soon charting the complex matrices of personal and
professional relationships, conflict of interest, malfeasance and fraud
uncovered by investigations into the major financial and political scandals of
the day; to keep facts and sources straight, he created a handwritten database
that now includes around 12,000 3-by-5-inch cards."
On the evening of March 22, 2000, Mark Lombardi was found
hanging in his loft, an apparent suicide.
Charles Dana Rice
<http://www.nytimes.com/reuters/business/business-utilities-elpaso.html>
He was the senior vice president and treasurer of El Paso Corp., an
energy corporation swept up in the recent energy scandal. Two months after the
"suicide" of Enron executive Clifford Baxter, in the midst of questions about
the accounting practices of El Paso Corp., Charles Rice was found dead of a
gunshot wound. His death was also ruled a suicide.
Chandra Revisited
<http://abcnews.go.com/sections/us/DailyNews/chandra020522.html>
Chandra Levy's skeletal remains were found on May 22, 2002, in
Washington's Rock Creek Park. Why weren't Chandra's remains found sooner? There
was an exhaustive search of all of Washington, including the park. Is it only
coincidence that this story hits just as George W.
Bush is very much in the news as the
incompetent leader who allowed the destruction of over 3000 innocents on
September 11?
Martin Burnham and Edibora Yap
<http://www.inq7.net/nat/2002/jun/18/nat_4-1.htm>
Martin Burnham and his wife, Gracia, were seized by terrorists at a
resort hotel and held as hostages. Initially, reports said that the Phillipine
military controlled the rescue operation that resulted in the deaths of Martin
and a Phillipine nurse, Edibora Yap. However, subsequent reports reveal the
United States was very much involved. Were these people just the latest victims
of the Bush
Administration's clumsy efforts at foreign policy?
