THE BUSH FAMILY DEATH LIST AND BODY COUNT
THIS WEBSITE DESIGNED AND CREATED BY JEFF WILLIAMSON / DJ BLAZE
Bush Death List
BUSH SAID "A DEAD MAN CANT TALK"
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
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.
