Forum members may be interested in knowing that
in INTO THE NIGHTMARE I discuss
some previously unreported facets of my investigation of George H. W. Bush's early and
unacknowledged CIA ties. I published two articles in The
Nation in 1988 that have influenced other researchers
(including Russ Baker, whose book FAMILY OF SECRETS
starts with my discovery of J. Edgar Hoover's memo
mentioning Bush in connection with the aftermath of
the assassination).
I continued my research on Bush after those two articles and submitted a third article in October 1988 that The Nation refused to run. It was on Bush's connections
with the Houston rightwing extremist James Parrott. Bush told the FBI on the afternoon of November 22, 1963, that Parrott had been threatening to kill JFK when he came to Texas. When the editor of The Nation, Victor Navasky, rejected the article, he told me to avoid writing about
the assassination because it is a "quagmire."
I have an extensive
section on Bush in INTO THE NIGHTMARE and discuss my
discoveries and offer new information on Bush and
Houston and Dallas rightwingers involved with the Republican Party in that period when
Bush was Harris County GOP chairman and a candidate for the U.S. Senate.
I discovered that the FBI after the assassination conducted an eight-month investigation
of Parrott and his fellow extremists. The documents were removed from the
National Archives by the FBI after Bush was named CIA director, but I was able to obtain
some of them and other documents related to that group. Among the people I interviewed about Bush (and provide previously unpublished interview
material from) are Senator Ralph Yarborough and Donald Rumsfeld. I
found a revealing comment (not reported in any other book) that Bush made about Kennedy's trip before the president arrived in Texas. I also discuss why The Nation has generally been
in the pro-Warren Commission camp. And I discuss
the media coverup throughout the book and analyze how it has worked; that's one
of my major subjects of study.
