(I met John Hankey at John Judge's 2006 COPA [1] conference in Dallas. I was at first skeptical
of Hankey's conclusions; that the Bush Crime Family is tied to not only the assassination of JFK,
but that JFK Jr. was also assassinated, with George Walker Bush in Hankey's sites as a suspect.
After watching his presentation in Dallas [2], I was convinced that Hankey is a serious
researcher, who raises some important issues. Although Hankey was not consulted for Russ
Baker's new book, Family of Secrets [3], Baker covers some of the same ground regarding
Poppy Bush and JFK. I asked Hankey to summarize his take on the Bushes, and talk about the
newly re-edited Dark Legacy [4]. -rep.)

SAME KILLERS - DIFFERENT DAY by John Hankey - April 18, 2009

There are a number of important parallels between the 9-11 attacks and the murder of JFK: the
stand down of the most basic defense procedures / the outrageous cover-up and destruction of
evidence / and the last name of some of the major perpetrators. Obviously the Bushes were
involved in 9-11. Less well-known and less obvious is the central role played by George HW in
the Kennedy assassination.
It has taken 40 years to collect the evidence to hang Kennedy’s murder around Bush’s neck.
I began 9 years ago when JFK Jr.’s plane went into the sea; the Pentagon took over the news
reporting, and then lied ridiculously, into the teeth of reporters who knew better, about why the
search had been kept, for 15 hours, from what was immediately obvious was the crash site. Who
would want JFK Jr. dead, and why? Lacking any credible evidence along these line, I decided to
pursue a deeper look at the names of the people who had killed his father, as likely suspects in
the murder of the son.
The Nation magazine had printed an article ten years before citing a memo written by J. Edgar
Hoover, the head of the FBI, 5 days after the assassination. The memo confused researchers,
including me. It said the state department had asked the FBI to investigate whether “some
misguided anti-Castro group” might be planning an invasion of Cuba. The memo claims the FBI
investigated, and determined that the anti-Castro community in Florida was deeply saddened by
the death of JFK, but not inclined to any rash actions. The last paragraph was the one that
grabbed researchers’ attention, because it named “Mr. George Bush of the Central Intelligence
Agency” as the responsible party sent by CIA to Washington to receive this FBI report. This
grabbed researchers’ attention because Bush claimed that he had never been in the CIA before
being appointed its director by Gerald Ford. And because it would mean he lied under oath on
this point during confirmation hearings. And because it would mean that he had broken the law
by running for Congress and Senate without informing the voters that he was CIA.
I will give myself props for destroying Bush’s claim that the memo did not refer to him. As the
video JFK - the Bush Connection [5] outlines, in college, Bush was a “brother under the skin” to
the son of the head of hiring for CIA; he left college and went to work for a man his father
identified as a CIA recruiter; and he then set up shop in the middle of CIA preparations for the
invasion of Cuba at the Bay of Pigs; which puts him squarely in the middle of the “misguided
anti-Castro Cuban operations referred to by Hoover‘s memo. And on and on and on.
I will give myself credit, also, for being the first to point out that this memo identifies Bush as a
supervisor of these “misguided anti-Castro groups”. You would not, after all, send someone to
FBI headquarters to receive a report on one of your operations, and send someone who was
entirely unfamiliar. You’d send the most knowledgeable, and therefore the most involved, person
available. And I also, in that video, point out in the clearest terms possible, that the military
industrial complex has used the CIA to murder JFK And that the CIA had done so using its
“misguided anti-Castro Cubans.” Whom, again, Hoover described as being supervised by “Mr.
George Bush.”
But I did not tie all the available pieces together. I had included a long section on Oswald’s CIA
and FBI connections; and explored the strange world in which the state department asks the FBI
to investigate the CIA’s “misguided anti-Castro Cubans.” But I had not seen the direct relevance
of this section to the central theme of the video: Bush’s involvement. It was just an interesting
riddle, and I cut it out and put it into an “extra” that no one has seen fit to post on the web, and
that was, then, only available on the DVD.
I was approached by someone with Hollywood background who urged and helped me to try to
make the video more presentable, more professional, in order to try to get a wider release, on
DVD, or perhaps even in theatres. It took three years; and in the process I figured out the riddle.
The solution goes like this: Oswald was an FBI operative. This could not be more obvious. The
Texas attorney general called up the Warren Commission on their first day and told them
Oswald’s FBI employee # and pay grade. It seems another obvious conclusion, from this, that
Oswald had his paycheck stub in his pocket at the time of his arrest. It defies my imagination to
conceive of other circumstances that might lead the attorney general to take such an aggressive
position on this point. The circumstantial evidence supporting this charge, that Oswald was
working for the FBI, is more than substantial. Delphine Roberts worked for the CIA at their
secret training camp, for anti-Castro terrorist raids, at Lake Pontchartrain, Louisiana. Kennedy
had ordered the raids ceased and the camps closed. Delphine Roberts told the Warren
Commission that she had seen Oswald at the camp two weeks prior to the raid. Oswald’s best
friend in New Orleans saw him exchange envelopes with men he took to be FBI at this time. And
Oswald passed out leaflets with the address of the Pontchartrain supervisor, Guy Bannister, on
them. It seems to me an obvious conclusion that Hoover, who had written memos about
Oswald’s CIA connections while Oswald was still in Russia, recruited and used Oswald to locate
the camps. The CIA apparently also figured this out and in short order recruited Oswald back, to
infiltrate a “rogue” group that was plotting to kill JFK. That point is speculation. What is clear is
that they recruited him and got him a job at the Dallas School Book Depository. The Dallas DA
has recently revealed a signed affidavit from an attorney who witnessed Oswald discussing
killing Kennedy with Jack Ruby. There is no credible evidence to suggest that Oswald wanted to
kill JFK. On the contrary, the most credible evidence is that Oswald was an admirer of JFK.
What, then, was Oswald’s purpose in talking to Ruby? The suggestion that he was attempting to
infiltrate the CIA’s “rogue” killers is my best guess.
But so what? This affidavit, from the Dallas DA file, was marked so as to be presented as
evidence. It is entirely credible. It would not otherwise have been so marked. It indicates that
Oswald was still actively working for the FBI, now infiltrating the CIA’s team of killers, and had
in fact made contact with Ruby. This sort of information from a reliable source would have given
Hoover the legal authority to tape Ruby’s phone, and the phones of virtually anyone Ruby had
contact with. Hoover distributed a memo to all the CIA’s offices the week before the murder
telling them that there was to be an attempt on JFK’s life in Dallas on Nov. 22. Hoover knew.
He knew before the assassination. Why would he NOT have had Ruby’s phone tapped? Hoover
had been, at JFK’s direction, spying on the CIA’s anti-Castro Cuban operation for months. His
knowledge of the intimate details of the assassination can scarcely be overestimated. And 5 days
after the assassination, he identified “Mr. George Bush of the Central Intelligence Agency” as
that agency’s responsible party sent to receive the FBI’s report on the activities of their killing
team. He then hid this memo, containing this explosive information, in plain sight, distributing to
various members of the State department, without classification.
This point of view is presented in the new video, Dark Legacy.
The original JFK II also presented, as a riddle, the fact that the FBI had made a detailed record of
a phone call Bush made minutes after the assassination, attempting to send them, apparently, on
a wild goose chase investigating “one James Parrot” who Bush claimed had been talking of
killing the president. What can we make of this memo? Three years ago, my answer was that it
was “weird”. Today I see it differently. E. Howard Hunt, famous as the head of the Watergate
Burglars, was identified in a CIA memo, signed by Richard Helms, the CIA director at the time,
as part of the assassination team in Dallas that day. Bush is tied by at least eight different
circumstances to Hunt. However, there are certainly honest people, or even dishonest ones, who
were associated with Hunt, but not in Dallas or connected to the assassination. Fletcher Prouty,
whose job in the Pentagon was to supply CIA secret operations with military hardware, including
machine guns and ships, was sent to the South Pole to get him out of the way. Richard Colby,
who later became director of CIA, and who doubtless released the Helms memo naming Hunt as
a killer, was also certainly not involved in JFK’s murder; and had another assignment in another
part of the world. But Bush’s phone call reveals that he was on duty for the CIA; in Dallas; and
working on assassination-related matters.
We have been schooled to regard “the smoking gun” as the definitive evidence. However, in a
large conspiracy, only one person can be connected to a smoking gun. The rest of the members
of the conspiracy can only be shown to have played ancillary roles. Under our system of justice,
however, they are regarded as equally culpable. That Bush was playing some sort of ancillary
role could not possibly be more clearly demonstrated than it is by these two FBI memos.
It took me nearly 40 years to find these memos; and nearly another ten to figure out what they
mean. Believe me, I’m not bragging. But I am advocating patience.
And trying to persuade you to support my efforts to advertise this video by purchasing it from

By the way, just to finish the story I began about JFK Jr.:
I had discovered the bulk of this information about Bush Sr. and the death of JFK. But I still had
not produced any evidence suggesting who would have wanted to kill JFK Jr. And then it hit me.
In my subconscious mind, I heard Henry Kissinger muttering, “The father killed the father. Let
the son kill the son.” I have reason to believe that the criminal elite that perpetrated crimes of 9-
11 and of Nov. 22, operate much as a mafia does. To join the inner circle of the mafia, you have
to “make your bone”. You have to commit a murder within the sight of the other members. Then
they can trust you. You can’t rat them out because they are eyewitnesses to a murder you
committed. In any case, within weeks of JFK’s murder, George Bush began his remarkable
political career. He ran for senate and lost. They created a Republican district and appointed him
the nominee, and so, of course, he won. He then ran for senate again, and lost. They picked him
up and dusted him off and forced Nixon to take him on as his secretary of the United Nations
(Erlichman says so explicitly) with a White House office conveniently located next to E. Howard
Hunt’s! Bush ran against Reagan and lost, and Reagan was forced to take him on as vice
president. After being shot, Reagan left everything up to Bush. Bush presided at ALL of the Iran
Contra Crack-epidemic meetings. And the JFK assassination was where he made his bone, where
he got his ticket punched for admission to the inner circle, which then forced all the events I just
described to occur. And I wondered, how did little Georgie make his bone? Whom did the drunk,
coke-headed draft-dodger have to kill in order to get this powerful inner circle to support him,
rather than the war-hero McCain. And I rushed to my computer to see where lil' George was the
day JFK Jr’s plane went down. At 8 am he was campaigning hard, flipping pancakes in Iowa. He
got on a bus at 9 am and disappeared. JFK Jr.’s plane went down at 9:41 pm, twelve hours later.
The next day the press ran to interview Bush, to see what one president’s son had to say about
the death of another president’s son. Al Gore had cancelled all campaign appearances. What
would Bush do? they wanted to know. They ran to interview Bush. But he was not to be found.
Karen Hughes, Bush’s campaign manager not only could not say where he was; she could not
even say when he would be back! After three days he reappeared. No attempt has ever been
made to disclose his whereabouts. Witnesses identified him partying at the Bohemian Grove
Saturday night, celebrating John’s death. Karen Hughes demanded a retraction when the
Sacramento Bee published this story. The story’s author offered to do so, if Hughes would reveal
where Bush actually was. Hughes made no offer of any such information, nor any further
demands for a retraction. This information is all laid out in my video The Assassination of John
Kennedy Jr., available at, you guessed it, [[http://www.jfkii.com/|BushKilledJFK.com]].
