was dining with the Bin Ladin family the day of the attack. This coincidence will take on
even more meaning a little further into the report.)
“The Rocky Mountain News article signed by Charles Roos carried Neil Bush's confirmation that if the
assassination had not happened, Scott Hinckley would have been present at a dinner party at Neil
Bush's home that very same night. According to Neil, Scott Hinckley had come to the home of Neil
and Sharon Bush on January 23, 1981 to be present along with about 30 other guests at a surprise
birthday party for Neil, who had turned 26 one day earlier. Scott Hinckley had come "through a close
friend who brought him," according to this version, and this same close female friend was scheduled to
come to dinner along with Scott Hinckley on that last night of March, 1981.” [George Bush: The
Unauthorized Biography, by Webster G. Tarpley & Anton Chaitkin, Chapter -XVII- The Attempted
Coup D'Etat of March 30, 1991]
A third ‘coincidence’ was the possibility that Neil Bush actually had known John
Hinckley, the would-be assassin.
“In 1978, Neil Bush served as campaign manager for his brother, George W. Bush, the Vice President's
eldest son, who made an unsuccessful bid for Congress. Neil lived in Lubbock, Texas, throughout
much of 1978, where John Hinckley lived from 1974 through 1980.” [George Bush: The Unauthorized
Biography, by Webster G. Tarpley & Anton Chaitkin, Chapter -XVII- The Attempted Coup D'Etat of
March 30, 1991]
A fourth coincidence, was that on the very day John Hinckley attempted to kill Reagan,
three Department of Energy auditors were pressuring Hinckley’s brother Scott, with a $2
million penalty. This penalty would later disappear.
“Neil Bush, a landman for Amoco Oil, told Denver reporters he had met Scott Hinckley at a surprise
party at the Bush home January 23, 1981 [Nine weeks before Hinckley's brother John Jr. attempted to
assassinate President Reagan-which would have elevated Bush Sr. to the presidency], and
approximately three weeks after the U.S. Department of Energy had begun what was termed a "routine
audit" of the books of the Vanderbilt Energy Corporation, the Hinckley oil company. In an incredible
coincidence, on the morning of March 30 [the day of the Reagan assassination attempt by John
Hinckley, Jr.], three representatives of the U.S. Department of Energy told Scott Hinckley, John
Hinckley Jr.'s older brother and Vanderbilt's vice president of operations, that auditors had uncovered
evidence of pricing violations on crude oil sold by the company from 1977 through 1980. The auditors
announced that the federal government was considering a penalty of two million dollars. [This, on the
same day that his brother John--the youngest son of Vice President Bush's close friend--attempted the
assassination!] Scott Hinckley reportedly requested "several hours to come up with an explanation" of
the serious overcharges. The meeting ended a little more than an hour before John Hinckly Jr. shot
President Reagan.”
With the subsequent revelation of these facts about the relationship between the Bush and
Hinkley families, the question needs to be asked: Could the Hinckley family have been
“behind” the Bush family quest for political power? Might they have sent their own son
to do this deed as repayment of an obligation, and did Scott need to be pressured into
silence? Also, what about these vague references as to whether John Hinckley could be
some kind of Manchurian Candidate assassin, unknowingly programmed? To answer
these questions, a little more about the Hinckley family needs to be understood.
John’s father – Jack – in addition to being a successful oil-man, was one of two key
individuals in a group known as US Ministries for World Vision, and very possibly a CIA
agent in Guatemala in the period when Armitage and Secord were establishing their
