September 11 Commission Report - Gnostic Liberation Front

“Hinckley's parents' memoir refers to some notes penciled notes by Hinckley which were found during
a search of his cell and which "could sound bad." These notes "described an imaginary conspiracy-either
with the political left or the political right [...] to assassinate the President." Hinckley's lawyers
from Edward Bennett Williams's law firm said that the notes were too absurd to be taken seriously and
they have been suppressed. [fn 21]
In July 1985, the FBI was compelled to release some details of its investigation of Hinckley under the
Freedom of Information Act. No explanation was offered of how it was determined that Hinckley had
acted alone, and the names of all witnesses were censored. According to a wire service account, "the
file made no mention of papers seized from Hinckley's prison cell at Butner, North Carolina, which
reportedly made reference to a conspiracy. Those writings were ruled inadmissible by the trial judge
and never made public." [fn 22] The FBI has refused to release 22 pages of documents concerning
Hinckley's "associates and organizations," 22 pages about his personal finances, and 37 pages about his
personality and character. The Williams and Connolly defense team argued that Hinckley was insane,
controlled by his obsession with Jodie Foster. The jury accepted this version, and in July, 1982,
Hinckley was found not guilty by reason of insanity.” [George Bush: The Unauthorized Biography ,

The record shows that Hinkley was involved in a CIA assassination training operation
run by his father, a close friend and business associate of George Bush, former CIA
Director. Hinckley claimed there was a conspiracy, and those notes were suppressed, as
was any other investigation.
The record shows that the day after Ronald Reagan was shot, a small group of men, led
by Vice President George Bush, declared that there was no conspiracy – that the culprit
had been caught, and it was clear he had acted alone. As a result, there was no
investigation, no grand jury, no Congressional hearings. (The value of this historical
lesson was not lost on Bush Jr., who attempted to stop every investigation into the attack
on the World Trade Center, saying there was no need for an investigation.) The actual
facts of the case - both cases - suggest something far different.
11.6 Final Lessons
The eerie parallels between the events of September 11 and the attempted Reagan
assassination suggest that in both cases, the conspirators might have been using a ‘play
book.’
1. Use shooters that do not have a lot to lose: The Hinckley’s thought their son had not
found himself, and was a disappointment. Osama Bin Ladin was thought to be on his
deathbed.
2. Control the shooter: The CIA seems to prefer loners and unattached people for wet
work because it reduces the complications of controlling any backlash. In this case,
control is enhanced by using the shooter’s family.
• In both cases, a member of the Bush family was with the family of the shooter as
the crime came down. This may serve to remind the shooter that his family is
vulnerable.
• There may be a need for a quid pro quo. If the Bin Ladin family was giving up a
son, maybe they felt Bush Sr. should do the same. When the attacks on Bush Jr.
