Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist
Supreme Court of the United States
1 First Street, N. E.
Washington, DC 20543
I write to you as a concerned citizen of the United States who is a Federal employee under oath to protect and defend the
Constitution of the United States. I am asking you to focus on a very grave matter fraught with serious implications touching
on the conduct of former President George Herbert Walker Bush. Primary documentary evidence, as set forth below and in attachments
to this letter, shows that George H. W. Bush was in Dallas, Texas on the day of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy
and that on the next day he served as a conduit of disinformation so as to promote a misleading public perception of the person
accused of the crime, Lee Harvey Oswald.
My doubts about former President Bush emanate from careful consideration of two memos of the Federal Bureau of Investigation,
one written by the Director John Edgar Hoover and dated 29 November 1963, and the other by Special Agent Graham W. Kitchel
and dated 22 November 1963, the very day of the JFK assassination. (I became aware of the Hoover memo in 1990 and obtained
a copy of it directly from FBI Headquarters in Washington, DC on a visit there in June of 1991. This Hoover memo was published
the same year in Mark Lane’s Plausible Denial and a year later in Robert Morrow’s Firsthand Knowledge. I became
aware of the Kitchel memo in 2003 and that same year obtained a copy of it by mail from the National Archives. The Kitchel
memo is not as well known to researchers as the Hoover memo and as far as I know it has never been published.)
As I will explain below, the Hoover and Kitchel memos help interpret each other. Perhaps by coincidence only and certainly
unbeknownst to me at the time, the Kitchel memo was declassified on 15 October 1993, exactly two days after I had hand-delivered
complaints of judicial misconduct (93-8533 and 93-8534), which are relevant to the topic of this letter, to the Clerk of the
United States Court of Appeals, 2nd Circuit, according to provisions set forth in the Judicial Conduct and Disability
Act of 1980 (28 U.S.C.§372©)). Whatever the case, the Kitchel memo establishes George H. W. Bush’s whereabouts in Dallas
the day Kennedy died and the next day, 23 November 1963, the day before the assassination of the accused, Lee Harvey Oswald.
After perusal of the Kitchel memo (see attached) obvious questions arise, which I believe explain why this memo remained
hidden from certain investigators for three decades and from me for four decades. Why did George H. W. Bush wait until after
JFK was pronounced dead to inform on a Houston resident who allegedly was making threats against the president? Why did Bush
wait a day, until after JFK had visited Houston on 21 November, to pass this information to the FBI? Why did Bush withhold
potentially useful information known to him for weeks before JFK’s trip to Texas and then reveal it to the FBI when
it was too late to act upon? Why did Bush fail to give a timely warning? Will George H. W. Bush take the answers to these
questions to the grave? I hope not!
Bearing in mind that the Kitchel memo reveals Bush’s need for confidentiality with respect to his untimely reporting
of hearsay from a "source unknown" as well as his advice to the FBI to contact his colleagues at the Harris County Republican
Party Headquarters for further information, I have concluded that Bush was establishing in his telephone contact with Kitchel
a pretext for being in Dallas on the 22nd and 23rd of November 1963 so as to disguise a purpose entirely
different than simply giving what we now know with benefit of hindsight to be useless information. That entirely different
purpose is revealed in the Hoover memo (see attached).
Written on 29 November 1963, one week after the JFK assassination and on the very day of the establishment of the Warren
Commission by executive order, the Hoover memo ostensibly concerns itself with the reaction of the Cuban community in south
Florida to the events of the previous week in Dallas. Implicit in Hoover’s words is the understanding that Oswald’s
pro-Castro public persona could potentially cause dangerous international ramifications with Cuba or Cuba’s sponsor,
the erstwhile Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.
But let us delve into the matter of Oswald’s pro-Castro public persona, which had the potential of not only setting
off a nuclear war of mutually assured destruction, but also, as an inviting alternative according to the logic that prevailed
at the time, of letting one man, taken from prison and from judgment, die so that others may live. This pro-Castro public
persona of Oswald was established at a press conference inside the Dallas Police Headquarters on the night of 22 November
when Jack Ruby, who later shot and killed Oswald on 24 November, corrected Dallas District Attorney Henry Wade’s assertion
that Oswald was with the anti-Castro "Free Cuba" movement by telling him before assembled reporters from around the world
that Oswald was with the pro-Castro "Fair Play for Cuba" movement, which Wade instantly accepted as though in deference to
a higher authority. (Ruby’s correction of Wade’s statement was recorded by news organizations and Ruby later recollected
the event under direct questioning by Chief Justice Earl Warren on 7 June 1964 during a deposition taken in Dallas as per
The Warren Commission Hearings, Volume 5, page 189.) Thus this supposed "two bit gangster and minor trafficker in women and
narcotics" established Oswald’s pro-Castro public persona as accepted fact even though official investigations were
barely under way that night and the mandate of the Warren Commission was still six days into the future. Such is the provenance
of Oswald’s pro-Castro public persona.
Later, in 1968, New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison established that Oswald worked with anti-Castro groups within
the intelligence community in New Orleans where he was "sheep-dipped" to take on the guise of a pro-Castro agitator. Hence
the false and misleading characterization of Oswald as pro-Castro, which was all too readily made available to the news media
soon after his arrest. Oswald insisted all along that he was a "patsy"; i.e., a person who is easily manipulated or victimized.
Oswald said "I never killed anybody" but never exercised his basic civil right to defend himself against false accusations
in a court of law.
And so the day before Jack Ruby killed Oswald, when the airwaves were pulsing with Jack Ruby’s pro-Castro spin on
Oswald, United States Government officials had already essentially ratified Oswald’s pro-Castro public persona by monitoring
the Cuban exile community in south Florida for possible untoward reactions in the aftermath of the JFK assassination and reporting
back their somewhat reassuring findings, which are memorialized in Hoover’s memo, which concludes: "The substance of
the foregoing information was orally furnished to Mr. George Bush of the Central Intelligence Agency and Captain William Edwards
of the Defense Intelligence Agency on November 23, 1963, by Mr. W. T. Forsyth of this Bureau." George H. W. Bush, not by his
phone in his Houston office on 23 November 1963, was nevertheless readily available by phone or by personal visit because
he had told Graham Kitchel that he would be staying at the Sheraton-Dallas Hotel on 22 and 23 November. As the Hoover memo
demonstrates, not only did the FBI know how to contact George H. W. Bush on the road, but the exchange of information between
Mr. W. T. Forsyth and George H. W. Bush certainly had nothing to do with the ostensible reason for Bush’s contact with
the FBI the previous day; namely, a college student in Houston who according to sources unknown was shooting off his mouth
about JFK in the weeks prior to JFK’s visit to Texas. This exchange of information was all about everybody getting the
story straight. Hoover, it seems, wanted everybody reading in unison from the same page; namely, the pro-Castro portrayal
of Oswald as spun by Jack Ruby. But did Hoover treat George H. W. Bush as a person with a need to know, or was it the other
way around?
Chief Justice Rehnquist, at the start of this letter I asked you to focus on a very grave matter touching on the conduct
of former president George H. W. Bush. I thank you for having read thus far. But now I would like to ask you to use your power
as the highest judicial officer in these United States to investigate this matter with a view toward the administration of
justice, the confirmation of historical truth, and the exercise of accountability on the part of a public servant.
To conclude, I also wish to go briefly into two areas of the JFK assassination which are not common knowledge but are nevertheless
necessary to consider in order to reach sound conclusions.
In this day and age when weapons of mass destruction in the Middle East are a big concern, a reopening of the JFK assassination
investigation would be quite apt for the times. Let me explain. Elected in 1960, by 1961 JFK was locked in a bitter behind-the
-scenes struggle with the Zionist state’s Prime Minister David Ben Gurion over the Zionist state’s nuclear weapons
program that had been started at Dimona in the Negev in 1956. This fact was brought to light more than three decades later,
in 1991, with the publication of Seymour Hersh’s The Samson Option, in chapter eight, "A Presidential Struggle." JFK
wanted to end the Zionist state’s nuclear weapons program because he foresaw that such a program would only result in
a regional arms race for countervailing weapons of mass destruction. This very wise policy ended with his assassination, which
enabled the Zionists to prevail in their determination to maintain the threat of nuclear weapons capability. However, the
cui bono? test has never been applied to the Zionist state in any official investigation of the JFK assassination. But a highly
intelligent and patriotically motivated researcher by the name of Michael Collins Piper has applied the cui bono? test to
the Zionist state and the international web of conspiracy which he describes in detail in his book, Final Judgment: The Missing
Link in the JFK Assassination Conspiracy, is indeed quite startling. Michael Collins Piper has shined a light in some rather
dark places. In the name of peace and justice, I implore you, Chief Justice Rehnquist, to look at his work which I believe
you will find compelling, for it may well be that deeply rooted treason and corruption have prevented a truly just and comprehensive
peace in the Middle East, including a region from the Nile to the Euphrates rivers free from the threat of weapons of mass
destruction.
Finally, I note that the Talmudic law of the moser, or the law of the Jewish informer, is essentially a covenant prohibiting
a Jew from informing on another Jew to a non-Jew, which is diametrically opposed to the adversarial process of our own legal
system and therefore conducive toward obstruction of justice. Furthermore, among employees at all levels in our intelligence
and law enforcement communities, the law of the moser constitutes an impediment to frank and uninhibited exchanges of information
in the discharge of their duties and therefore poses a threat to our national security. I cannot overemphasize the great importance
of this very real issue of the law of the moser, or law of the Jewish informer, the history of which you can read online at
www.JewishEncyclopedia.com. In my complaint of judicial misconduct docketed under Miscellaneous Number 01-0030 on 1 June 2001
by the Clerk of the United States Court of Appeals, 11th Circuit, I cite a living rabbi’s more recent (1997)
published article promulgating the law of the moser or law of the Jewish informer. Again, this is a very real issue, not unlike
the Mafioso code of omert B. The Warren Commission
was oblivious to it. So was the 9/11 Commission. We continue to ignore this issue at our national peril. Let us address in
a forthright manner this issue of the Talmudic law of the moser or law of the Jewish informer and its legal, national security
and foreign policy implications.

***Verbatim Reproduction of 29 November 1963 Hoover Memo***
Date: November 29, 1963
To: Director
Bureau of Intelligence and Research
Department of State
From: John Edgar Hoover, Director
Subject: ASSASSINATION OF PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY
NOVEMBER 22, 1963
Our Miami, Florida, Office on November 23, 1963, advised that the Office of Coordinator of Cuban Affairs in Miami advised
that the Department of State feels some misguided anti-Castro group might capitalize on the present situation and undertake
an unauthorized raid against Cuba, believing that the assassination of President John F. Kennedy might herald a change in
U. S. policy, which is not true.
Our sources and informants familiar with Cuban matters in the Miami area advise that the general feeling in the anti-Castro
Cuban community is one of stunned disbelief and, even among those who did not entirely agree with the President’s policy
concerning Cuba, the feeling is that the President’s death represents a great loss not only to the U. S. but to all
of Latin America. These sources know of no plans for unauthorized action against Cuba.
An informant who has furnished reliable information in the past and who is close to a small pro-Castro group in Miami has
advised that these individuals are afraid that the assassination of the President may result in strong repressive measures
being taken against them and, although pro-Castro in their feelings, regret the assassination.
The substance of the foregoing information was orally furnished to Mr. George Bush of the Central Intelligence Agency and
Captain William Edwards of the Defense Intelligence Agency on November 23, 1963, by Mr. W. T. Forsyth of this Bureau.
