John Hinckley: Reagan's shooter, Bush's 7th cousin - but there's more!

[Hannah Bell]

1. Son of John Warnock Hinkley of Vanderbilt Oil & World Vision

2. Great grandson of one of the founders & funders of the University of Chicago, Francis Edward Hinckley. The other founders were: JD Rockefeller, Marshall Fields, Frederick T. Gates, TW Goodspeed & Nelson Blake.

FE also owned the Chicago & St. Louis, Chicago & Iowa railroads.

He was a railroad magnate in the era of EH Harriman, rail tycoon, associate of the Walker-Bush tribe.

Thus the Bushes & Hinckleys seem to have known each other for some time.


Many more strange & wondrous things to be found from tracing these connections, such as the familial ties between the Mormon founders & the Bushes & Hinckleys.

1. 7th cousins? so they shared a great great great great great great grandparent?

OMG this is HUGH!!!!

[Hannah Bell]

2. that's not hugh, but the great grandpa, rockefeller associate &

railroad magnate, is, i believe.

since bushes & walkers were closely associated with another railroad magnate.

3. The World Vision connection has been strange

Hinckley and Mark David Chapman (killer of Lennon) were associated with the same church, an
evangelical order fronting for the CIA. They appear to have performed espionage
work for the CIA in Southeast Asia. In Honduras, they maintained a presence at CIA contra recruiting camps in the war against the Sandinistas. Their refugee camps hosted numerous members of the anti-Castro terrorist group Alpha 66 of Bay of Pigs fame. They were at Sabra and Shatilla, camps in Lebanon where fascist Phalange massacred the Palestinians.

There was a presence of World Vision in Jonestown, Guyana after the tragic deaths there (note: the top Guyanese pathologist, Dr. Mootoo, was at Jonestown within hours after the massacre. Mootoo's testimony to the Guyanese grand jury investigating Jonestown led to their conclusion that all but three of the people were murdered by "persons unknown").

7. Intriguing...

Can you cite credible sources for your claims? Not slamming you, this just interests me. I've also read about CIA/Scientology connections.

4. I'm sure that if you go back far enough

My 627th cousins are Nelson Mandela and Emperor Akihito of Japan.

But they don't send me birthday cards, so I took them off my Christmas
Card list years ago.

5. as i said earlier, more interesting that hinckley g-granpa was in

the railroad business. eh harriman was too. sam prescott bush made steel for the rr business, & was harriman's pal in the same era.

i think your link to mandela is rather more distant.

6. Hinkleys' parents were at Marvin Bush's when the assassination attempt was made.

From what I've heard they were preparing to celebrate something.
