Tag: John F. Kennedy

Here’s a memo discussing a “tip” Bush Sr. called into the FBI regarding a threat to JFK’s life. Bush was CIA at the time, not working in the oil industry. This letter may be a weak effort at setting up an alibi.

Think about it: George H.W. Bush calls and provides a “hot tip” about a guy he heard of wanted to kill the president about an hour and fifteen minutes after the assassination.

In Kitty Kelley’s biography of the Bush family she writes that George H. W. Bush stated that he ‘can’t remember’ where he was the day Kennedy was shot and murdered in Dallas.

If true, this is an unbelievable statement as everybody, or at least every American, knows where they were when they heard the news of JFK’s assassination. This is not something that people forget.

In this day and age people know exactly where they were and what they were doing on 9/11 or the day that John Lennon was shot. The JFK assassination cuts deep into the American psyche, so it is hard to imagine that a politician, a future president no less, would have no recollection of his whereabouts on this fateful day. Even non-Americans living outside the US know where they were when they heard Kennedy had been shot and killed in 1963.

Funny how Bush became head of the CIA later on.

Something else to think about:
Here is Bush Sr. at the funeral of President Ford, and he can’t help but laugh when he says ‘a deluded gunman assassinated President Kennedy’.
