Bush Son Had Dinner Plans With Hinckley Brother Before Shooting
The Associated Press Domestic News
March 31, 1981, Tuesday, PM cycle

The family of the man charged with trying to assassinate President Reagan is acquainted with the family of Vice President George Bush and had made large contributions to his political campaign, the Houston Post reported today.

The newspaper said in a copyright story, Scott Hinckley, brother of John W. Hinckley Jr., who allegedly shot Reagan, was to have dined tonight in Denver at the home of Neil Bush, one of the vice president's sons.

In 1978, Neil served as campaign manager for his brother, George W. Bush, the vice president's oldest son, who made an unsuccessful bid for Congress. Neil lived in Lubbock throughout much of 1978, where John Hinckley lived from 1974 through 1980.

....

Sharon Bush, Neil's wife, said Scott Hinckley was coming to their house as a date of a girl friend of hers. "I don't even know the brother. From what I know and I've heard, they (the Hinckleys) are a very nice family and have given a lot of money to the Bush campaign. I understand he was just the renegade brother in the family. They must feel awful," she said.

The dinner was canceled, she added.

George W. Bush said he was unsure whether he had met John W. Hinckley.

5. Ok, I love a good conspiracy theory as much as the next
person, but this just seems like such a contrived stretch. The president's brother (or first Pres. Bush's son) knew Hinckley's brother, so what? Is that supposed to somehow make the Bush family complicit in what the other Hinckley brother did? Guilt by association is never a good argument--it's not like the Hinckley brother the Bushes spent time with was the crazy one who pulled the trigger over an actress or that the chance of a social "my brother meets your brother" thing between Hinckley and the current prez means anything.

12. I will believe in coincidence over miracles, but I will believe
in conspiracy over coincidence.

I heard about the bush/Hinkley link back in the 80s when I was still fuming about the bush plot to delay the release of the Iranian hostages, to deliver the election to Raygun.

Hinkley comes from a wealthy, politically connected family. And he thinks the only way Jody Foster will notice him is if he shoots the president? Don't think that wrangling an invitation to dinner at the white house might have been more effective?

Always ask the question, "Who benefits?"

13. The bush crime family is full of inconvenient coincidences. Bin Laden
was buddies with Poppy, Georgie Jr. trained on planes that were obsolete so he would never have to fly in combat, presidential election of 2000 just HAPPENED to be decided in a state that Jeb Bush was governor of..

how convenient.

16. Read up on it. the father's business connections to Bush Sr.;
who was living in Houston at the same time; how the routine changed for Reagan that day; how the Bushes denied knowing the Hinckleys... I'm serious, read up on it. Then tell me what you think.

27. Who says Bush planned the Reagan assassination?
Perhaps those who did liked having a convenient link to Bush that would guarantee he would be theirs?

28. if we've learned anything about the Bush empire, it's that . . .
if there's even a remote hint of a conspiracy, chances are that we're looking at the tip of an iceberg and not the pointy top of a tinfoil hat . . .

for him. Hinckley was spotted as a vulnerable mind that could be programmed to carry out an assassination and be judged crazy afterwards.

Poppy planned on winning the presidency in 1980. Reagan hated Bush, yet was forced by the powerstructure of the GOP to make him VP.

And the Reagan family HATED the Bushes throughout the entire administration.

11. I think your spot on about Poppy's GOP black op's squad.
Isn't it strange how this family is always lurking in the shadows around these historic events. It makes you wonder if Reagan's Alzheimer's was naturally occurring.

36. Reagan's Alzheimer's was accelerated by the shooting....
An injury that affects the brain--through blood loss or oxygen starvation--can bring on Alzheimer's. It would have developed eventually, but more slowly if he had not been shot.

I observed the phenomenon in my mother's case, after a violent event.

42. Hinckley's still incarcerated
at St. Elizabeth's in DC. His parents have requested supervised leaves for their son, so he can spend a weekend at home with them, but so far, that's been denied.

Still no comment from Jodie Foster.

45. Bush or Reagan
I think Bush may have been responsible. I believe it's been shown Hinkley was MK-Ultra by the CIA so was mind controlled for sure. However I don't doubt that Reagan may have been in on it too. Watch the video, and see how fake it looks. The way he is instantly pushed into the limo, with the SS posing with his gun out, looks too fake. Everything with the Reagan administration was like movie set. Reagan came back from that and said 'win one for the Gipper' and got an agenda passed that was going nowhere. After that incident Reagan was untouchable by the left.

Actually place the pooper in the most horrific scandals of the last 30 years... place him within meters if not at exact moment in time, location, etc. This is a hell of a gang they put together.

24. It's amazing how few degrees of separation you find....
between the Bush** cartel and many of the major political happenings in the last 50 years. Too many "coincidences" to be a coincidence.

First UBL, now Hinkly (although not chronicalogically). I think we can add Neil into that category now, too.

In case he succeeded? And he would 'bump' into Bush at the dinner and what - high-five him?
But plan went awry when .....
Sorry.
I can't follow this logic. Like leading fish to the desert, just a dead end.

From 1981, sheesh.

Millard Fillmore Has Omelet For Breakfast
The Washington Daily Whig
March 31, 1852, Tuesday, AM cycle

President Filmore ordered a cheese omelet for breakfast this morning, and skipped his usual pork chop and salsa.

The White House kitchen staff was able to satisfy the President's new order without problem as Henryetta, the new Rhode Island Red chicken is making eggs on a daily basis.

A 24 year old newspaper article about the 26 year old son of a Vice President who is scheduled to have dinner with the brother of the guy that attempted to kill President Reagan and then the dinner gets canceled is just so interesting!

No doubt that Neil Bush is a scumbag, Neil Bush , we agree on that.

BTW, I'm not usually this much of a jerk, there's just something about that article that brought it out in me.

Best regards,

-Fergus

40. It was an afternoon where linkage was made
It all started by finding out the new Pope, who last year made certain to state that Kerry was not a good Catholic, had financial ties to a Bush brother. And went on from there.
