[312] <strong>Final</strong> <strong>Judgment</strong> 373<br />

And, curiously enough, there is this interesting tidbit unearthed by Spy<br />

magazine suggesting that Bush had an inordinate interest in John F.<br />

Kennedy's welfare. According to Spy: "Internal FBI memos indicate that on<br />

November 22, 1963, 'reputable businessman' George H. W. Bush<br />

`telephonically advised that he wanted to relate some hearsay that he had<br />

heard in recent weeks, date and source unknown. He advised that one James<br />

Parrott has been talking of killing the president when he comes to<br />

Houston." 807<br />

Parrott was a 24-year-old Young Republican who regularly picketed<br />

Kennedy administration officials when they came to Houston. The FBI also<br />

learned that the Secret Service had been told—in 1961—that Parrott had said<br />

he "would kill President Kennedy if he ever got near him." Parrott denies<br />

the charges. Spy asks—not entirely satirically—"Was Bush just being a<br />

misguided do-good weenie? Or was he trying to throw the FBI off the trail?"<br />

ISRAEL AGAIN . . .<br />

It was after George Bush left the CIA in 1977 that he continued to<br />

maintain close ties with business interests which had, in turn, intimate ties<br />

to Israel and its lobby in this country.<br />

Returning home to Houston, Bush was named to serve as executive<br />

committee chairman of the First International Bank of Houston, the familyowned<br />

enterprise of the heirs of Texas billionaire H. L. Hunt.<br />

The Hunts were owners of a 15% controlling interest in Gulf Resources<br />

and Chemical Corporation, a Houston based company which controlled half the<br />

world's supply of lithium, which is an essential component in the production<br />

of hydrogen bombs.<br />

Among the board members of Gulf Resources was George A. Butler,<br />

chairman of Houston's Post Oak Bank, controlled by one W. S. Farish, III,<br />

often described as one of Bush's closest confidants.<br />

Gulf Resources had taken over the Lithium Corporation of America as a<br />

wholly-owned subsidiary some years previously. Among the directors of<br />

both Gulf Resources and the Lithium Corporation was John Roger Menke,<br />

who was also a director of Israel's Hebrew Technical Institute.<br />

All of this is significant in that it was during this period that Israel was<br />

continuing in its secret development of nuclear weaponry, the most<br />

monumental issue of conflict between John F. Kennedy and Israeli prime<br />

minister David Ben-Gurion, discussed in detail in Chapter 5. 809<br />

THE ADL AGAIN<br />

Perhaps, then, it is no surprise that Robert Allen, the chairman of Gulf<br />

Resources—a non-Jew not known as a contributor to Jewish<br />

causes—received the so-called "Torch of Liberty" award from the Anti-<br />

Defamation League (ADL) of B'nai B'rith, the self-styled "civil rights"
