> “I do remember this: when Reagan gave his endorsement of GHW Bush at the convention in 1988, it was lukewarm and tepid.”

It is well-documented that Reagan waited until the very last minute at the convention before making his decision. He had not wanted Bush and was very hesitant to choose him but in the end, he chose pragmatism. He knew the establishment hated him, he knew the way to victory was to unite the GOP and unfortunately, that meant making a gesture towards its establishment players.

One thing that is still buried but is documented and confirmed, is that when Reagan was shot about two months into his presidency and nearly died, the shooter John Hinckley Jr. was from a family that was very close to the Bush family. In fact, John Hinckley Sr. was very close to the elder GHW Bush. In fact again, Hinckly Jr.’s brother had been invited to a private dinner with Neil Bush the day after the shooting, on a blind-date dinner where Neil’s wife wanted to introduce the Hinckley brother to her girlfriend.

We never heard that because it was too wild. A well-respected reporter held it back but published it years later. He held it back because he was reporting on a lot of Bush scandals and he thought the Hinckley story would be too much for the public to handle.

I voted for GW Bush and gave his campaign and PACs more money (10,000+) than I had ever given any candidate. He disappointed greatly but I took it in stride. However, when I learned what he let his people do during the financial collapse, that is when I knew GW was detrimental to Americans. In short, he looked the other way on policing the banking sector, and that led to the collapse. He could have stopped it, he had investigators that had the goods on the fraud (for example, against the CEO of Morgan Stanley), but those investigators were told to bury it.

There will always be greed and piracy, but strong law enforcement will keep it in check. When there is no law enforcement, greed wins. Bush let greed win.

I had not heard about the Bush/Hinkley connection until tonight.

I did a little more digging around and found another interesting tidbit: When 41 was asked where he was when JFK was shot, he said he COULDN’T REMEMBER!! Turns out, he was in Dallas. What a coinkydink!

Well said.

Bush was a complicit stooge of the globalists because his family has been an integral part of their treason for a very long time.

Good post, and very true.

It is well-documented that Reagan waited until the very last minute at the convention before making his decision. He had not wanted Bush and was very hesitant to choose him but in the end, he chose pragmatism. He knew the establishment hated him, he knew the way to victory was to unite the GOP and unfortunately, that meant making a gesture towards its establishment players.

I am going to read up more about this. I also got a post last night from someone who also posted to me the details of the ties and friendship between the Bush family and the Hinkleys. I guess a reporter called it "the most incredible coincidence in Presidential assassination attempt history."

That was the final straw, for that deceitful dynasty, for me.
