George Herbert Walker Bush (born June 12, 1924) was the 41st President of the United States (1989-1993). He was also Ronald Reagan's Vice President (1981-1989), a congressman, an ambassador, and Director of Central Intelligence.

Bush was born in Massachusetts to Senator and New York Banker Prescott Bush and Dorothy Walker Bush. Following the attacks on Pearl Harbor in 1941, at the age of 18, Bush postponed going to college and became the youngest naval aviator in the US Navy at the time. He served until the end of the war, then attended Yale University. Graduating in 1948, he moved his family to West Texas and entered the oil business, becoming a millionaire by the age of 40.

He became involved in politics soon after founding his own oil company, serving as a member of the House of Representatives, among other positions. He ran unsuccessfully for president of the United States in 1980, but was chosen by party nominee Ronald Reagan to be the vice presidential nominee; the two were subsequently elected. During his tenure, Bush headed administration task forces on deregulation and fighting drug abuse.

In 1988, Bush launched a successful campaign to succeed Reagan as president, defeating Democratic opponent Michael Dukakis. Foreign policy drove the Bush presidency; military operations were conducted in Panama and the Persian Gulf at a time of world change; the Berlin Wall fell in 1989 and the Soviet Union dissolved two years later. Domestically, Bush reneged on a 1988 campaign promise and after a struggle with Congress, signed an increase in taxes that Congress had passed. In the wake of economic concerns, he lost the 1992 presidential election to Democrat Bill Clinton.

Bush is the father of George W. Bush, the 43rd President of the United States, and Jeb Bush, former Governor of Florida. He is the most recent president to have been a World War II veteran, and the most recent president to have fought in a war prior to being elected.

Skull and Bones is a secret society at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut. The society's alumni organization, which owns the society's real property and oversees the organization, is the Russell Trust Association, named for General William Huntington Russell, who co-founded Skull and Bones with classmate Alphonso Taft. The Russell Trust was founded by Russell and Daniel Coit Gilman, member of Skull and Bones and later a university president. The society is known informally as "Bones," and members are known as "Bonesmen."

President George H. W. Bush, his son President George W. Bush, and the latter's 2004 Presidential opponent Senator John Kerry are members of Skull and Bones.

COINTELPRO (an acronym for Counter Intelligence Program) was a series of covert, and often illegal, projects conducted by the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) aimed at investigating and disrupting dissident political organizations within the United States. The FBI used covert operations from its inception, however formal COINTELPRO operations took place between 1956 and 1971. The FBI's stated motivation at the time was "protecting national security, preventing violence, and maintaining the existing social and political order."

According to FBI records, 85% of COINTELPRO resources were expended on infiltrating, disrupting, marginalizing, and/or subverting groups suspected of being subversive, such as communist and socialist organizations; the women's rights movement; militant black nationalist groups, and the non-violent civil rights movement" such as Martin Luther King, Jr. and others associated with the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the Congress of Racial Equality, the American Indian Movement, and other civil rights groups; a broad range of organizations labeled "New Left," including Students for a Democratic Society, the National Lawyers Guild, the Weathermen, almost all groups protesting the Vietnam War, and even individual student demonstrators with no group affiliation; and nationalist groups such as those "seeking independence for Puerto Rico." The other 15% of COINTELPRO resources were expended to marginalize and subvert "white hate groups," including the Ku Klux Klan and National States' Rights Party.

The directives governing COINTELPRO were issued by FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, who ordered FBI agents to "expose, disrupt, misdirect, discredit, or otherwise neutralize" the activities of these movements and their leaders.

I have 1 problem.

I have not yet Stockwell's books - and this

his Angola title is littöe confusing- there have been talk about Base chief, but base chief is not official title - but I wonder was his real title Station Chief in Angola? Do you know? I know he was at least a CIA Case Officer.

[thefilmarchive]

Yes, he was a CIA case officer, then was assigned as Chief of the Angola Task Force. He wrote in "In Search of Enemies" that his rank in the CIA was equivalent to that of colonel in the army.

[farneyblakeley]

This man was trying to warn US citizens about CIA operations that led to 9/11 (blowback). The same people who bring these things down on us also ask to have blank checks to go out and "fix" them, and they get it, because they run this fucking place.

[m2umark]

Am i dreaming or is it a requirement to have a shadowey past to become a president?

[EndWesternTyranny]

@Monty22001 you've been indoctrinated with propaganda

[dragnet53]

white elitists love killing brown people it seems.

[PFCAhammed]

@squirevet LOL

[ciccone39]

Fletcher Prouty, Ray McGovern, John Stockwell - Good honest men. We need more like them to come forward and blow the whistle to prove that what we're told in the news is garbage.

[klnine]

how long ago was this ? nothings changed..only looks like its more convincing now!

[grimdimly]

Uh..this is after the Berlin Wall came down so your "Evil Empire" was no longer a viable threat, they were in economic ruin. It would take two decades for the USA to find another foe in the form of Islamic Fascism.

[Monty22001]

It's fun to see that old truthers were still around back then. They yacked about it then, when there was a real Soviet threat, and they yack about it now when there's another threat.

Goofballs then and now. Currently 2010, they goofballs are in charge.
