Many people believed that John F. Kennedy was killed on November 22, 1963 because he angered the CIA and the powerful elites with business interests in Cuba. Coincidences abound when it comes to the assassination of JFK.

-Three future presidents of the United States were all present in Dallas on the day of JFK assassination - Poppy Bush, Richard Nixon, and Lyndon Johnson.

-Poppy Bush was in Dallas on November 21 and the following morning at Sheraton Hotel. He hid that fact, lied about knowing where he was, and created an alibi based on a lead he knew was false.

-Poppy Bush had a close relationship for years with Lee Harvey Oswald's mentor, George de Mohrenschildt who supposedly took his own life in 1977.

-Oswald got his job in the Texas School Book Depository building through de Mohrenschildt's friend who had intelligence ties to CIA Director Allen Dulles.

-Both D. Harold Byrd, owner of the Texas School Book Depository building, and Jack Crichton, who led Kennedy's motorcade, knew de Mohrenschildt through oil-business dealings.

-CIA Hunt (involved in a coup in Guatemala, Bay of Pigs invasion, Watergate break-in) was there on the day of JFK assassination.

-Jack Ruby, who shot Oswald, told the press that his reasons for killing Oswald would never be divulged due to the influ ence of "peo ple in high places".

Resignation of Nixon

Prescott Bush played a key role in launching Richard Nixon's political career. Indebted to the Bush family, Nixon appointed Poppy Bush to high political positions in which he lacked experience - Ambassador to the United Nations and Chair man of the Republican National Com mit tee. However, Nixon fell out of favor with the CIA, the powerful interests, and Poppy Bush who was passed over for Spiro Agnew as Nixon's choice for vice president. Poppy Bush worked behind the scene staging the Watergate and Dan Ellsberg's office burglaries with the purpose of having these break-ins exposed and the blame placed on President Nixon.

-Nixon noted in his memoirs on the Watergate break-in: "The whole thing was so senseless and bungled that it almost looked like some kind of a setup."

-Men around Nixon in the 1972 Watergate scandal had CIA ties (James McCord, Howard Hunt, Alexander Butterfield, John Dean, and Leon Jaworski).

-Watergate break-in crew included CIA Hunt and Cuban exiles who were involved in the fiasco Bay of Pigs invasion where Nixon was the "action officer" for the planning of the operation.

-Poppy was then the Chairman of the Republican National Committee.

-CIA refused a direct request from President Nixon to provide documents concerning the Bay of Pigs.

-Nixon's Special Counsel had a memo stated that CIA couldn't confirm whether the CIA employed Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward. Interestingly, Woodward served in the Pentagon and was an intelligence officer in the Navy; Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee had also spent time in naval intelligence during WWII.

-John Dean, Nixon's lawyer, publicly switched sides, testifying against Nixon.
