Here's a partial list of Bush 'Dead'...
A Roster of the Dead
This is a list of bodies, a roster of the dead, who
might have been called Witnesses had they not met
their untimely ends. Some of the names on this list
will give you pause. Some are rumor. Some you may find
incredible, and some frightening. Do your own research
http://www.google.com. You will draw your own
conclusions.
The above paragraph began the last edition of the Bush
Body Count. In previous editions, there were no
special criteria for adding bodies - only that they
could be related to the Bush family in some way, and
be dead. In fact, the original Bush Body Count started
as a parody of the so-called Clinton Death List.
Times have changed. The Bush Body Count is no longer a
parody, and many of the names have been removed. This
edition examines the scandals and misdeeds of the Bush
family generations, and lists the corpses they leave
in their wake.
Bush Went AWOL
Bodies
Sid Adger
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
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.
Lt. Colonel William Harris, Jr.
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
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.
James Downing Aalund
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, as did our
fearless leader George W. Bush.
Enron
Bodies
J. Clifford Baxter
Found dead in his car, shot in the head. 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? His death was ruled a suicide.
Charles Dana Rice
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
to the head. His death was ruled a suicide.
James Daniel Watkins
His body was found on December 1, 2001 in the Pike
National Forest in Colorado, a gunshot wound to the
head. 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.
Commerce Secretary Ron Brown
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
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
http://GregPalast.com and
http://www.guardian.co.uk/enron/story/0,11337,643422,00.html
, Horton knew of the company's appalling accounting
practices, and "... 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.
Kennedy Assassination
Bodies
John Fitzgerald Kennedy
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
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
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).
Mrs. E. Howard Hunt
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.
George H.W. Bush
Bodies
Gary Caradori
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 . The Nebraska
Senate questioned 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.
Orlando Letelier
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
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.
Jack Delaney and Ted White
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.
Silent Voices
Bodies
Steve Kangas
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.
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.
Mark Lombardi
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.
James Hatfield
Mr. Hatfield was the author of Fortunate Son, 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.
Prescott Bush
Bodies
William S. Farish
He was one of Prescott Bush's partners in business
deals 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.
James Forrestal
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
Texas Justice
Bodies
Karla Faye Tucker
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, Bush mocked the woman whose death warrant
he had sanctioned, pursing his lips and whimpering,
"Please don't kill me!"
David Wayne Spence
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.
