*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

Mr. Adger, a Houston oil supply company executive and Bush family friend, died in 1996 of Unknown Causes.
Mr. 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.

*Orlando Letelier

He was torn to bits by a car bomb on the streets of Washington DC just before he was to testify about 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.

*Amiram Nir

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

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 and knew the
inside of the story. He was killed in an uninvestigated airplane crash later in Georgia in 1991.
Also killed was his daughter, Marian.

*Mario Ruiz Massieu

An apparent suicide. He 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

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

Dictator of Pakistan, and knew all about Iran/Contra, the training, funding, and arming of narco-terrorists such as
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

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!

*President John Fitzgerald Kennedy

An internal FBI memo reported that on November 22 a reputable 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.

*George de Mohrenschildt

A rich Russian oilman, who 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 gun shot 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

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

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

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

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

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 it 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

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

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

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’ 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

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.

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.

*Edmond J. Safra

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 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

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

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

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

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

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.

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, 33, chief engineer Toshimichi Furuya, 47, engineer Hiroshi Nishida, 49,
and chief radio operator Hirotaka Segawa, 60.

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. See The Latest for more.

*Eliza May, Sarah Harbison, Jennifer Harbison and Amy Ayers
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.
