About Those Nazi Appeasers It's astonishing to see how desperate our homegrown fascists have become. The
entire cabal is in full-on media blitz mode with Rummy, Dick and Theodosius,
er, Bush slamming their foreign opponents with the latest absurd tag "Islamic
Fascists;" and, their domestic ones as "Nazi appeasers." Or,
in the deranged mind of Condi Rice; domestic opponents are tantamount to folks
who would have stopped the Civil War and allowed slavery to continue in the
South. It's not just desperate; it's monumentally moronic, given the real history.
This bizarre trip on the Wayback Machine demands a deeper look--though don't
look to the mainstream media. Given the opening, one would think that everyone
by now would be fully informed that the Bush Family took "Nazi appeasement"
to far greater heights and were actually part of an American faction of documented
Nazi SUPPORTERS. We're also unlikely to see much mainstream media analysis of the new "Islamic
Fascist" branding of those opposing the Empire's designs on the Middle
East. As Sir Winston Bush gets a media pass as he tries to conflate fascism,
communism and Islam while also trying to ironically tie his criminal wars to
WWII and the Cold War, it warrants our own trip on the Wayback Machine to see
just what the Bush family was doing during those earlier "good wars." Samuel Bush: arms merchant George W. Bush's great-grandfather, Samuel Bush was charter member of the military/industrial
complex. In 1918, he was chief of the Ordnance, Small Arms and Ammunition Section
for the War Industries Board, with oversight responsibility for Percy Rockefeller's
Remington Company. Rockefeller had helped get Bush's son, Prescott into Yale
and Skull and Bones in 1916. A 1926 Senate Munitions Inquiry (the Nye Committee) into the military/industrial
complex's WWI windfall examined Samuel Bush's dealings with Remington as part
of his War Industries Board duties. Virtually ALL of the records of Samuel Bush's
efforts were destroyed by the National Archives "to save space." Prescott Sheldon Bush; George Herbert Walker: Nazi collaborators George W. Bush's grandfather, former Connecticut Senator Prescott S. Bush was
a Wall Street banker with Brown Brothers Harriman. (Averill Harriman was also
instrumental in getting young Prescott into Yale and S&B.) Bush's maternal
grandfather George Herbert Walker was the bank's first president. Walker built
the famed Bush family estate at Kennebunkport on Walker Point. Prescott Bush
joined W. A. Harriman & Company in 1926 and became its CEO. Harriman Bank was the official Nazi financial conduit in the US. Closely tied
to Fritz Thyssen, who proudly claimed in his 1941 book "I Paid Hitler"
that he was the Nazi Party's first and greatest financial backer. The Union
Banking Corporation (UBC) was a subsidiary of Harriman created by Walker and
it was used for Nazi financial matters. Thyssen provided 100,000 gold marks
($10 million in today's dollars) to the Nazis in 1923 just prior to Hitler's
failed putsch. By 1941, UBC held a private Nazi stash of over $3,000,000 ($36
million in today's dollars) in its New York vaults. After the war, a Treasury Department investigation reported that during the
two years after the Stock Market crash; "Thyssen dedicated his fortune
and his influence to the single purpose of bringing Hitler to power. In 1932,
he arranged the now famous meeting in the Düsseldorf Industrialists' Club,
at which Hitler addressed the leading businessmen of the Ruhr and the Rhineland.
At the close of Hitler's speech, Thyssen cried, `Heil Herr Hitler'. By the time
of the German elections later that year, Thyssen had succeeded in eliciting
contributions to Hitler's campaign fund from all of the big industrial combines.
He himself is reported to have spent 3,000,000 ($30 million today) marks on
the Nazis in 1932 alone. During 1933 Thyssen served as intercessor between von Hindenburg, von Papen,
and Hitler. He brought them together at a secret meeting which laid the basis
for the appointment of Hitler as Reichschancellor." It was Thyssen, not Prescott Bush as some now claim, who was called "Hitler's
Angel" by the New York Herald Tribune. He later fled Germany in 1939. Even though Hitler had declared war on the US, it was still legal for UBC to
conduct finances for the Nazis. But, after Pearl Harbor that outrage finally
changed. After another ten months of Bush/Harriman/UBC work for the Nazis; in
November 1942, under the Trading With the Enemy Act, all of the Harriman business
interests were seized by the government, including UBC. The assets were held by the government for the duration of the war and then
quickly returned. Prescott Bush' interest in UBC consisted of One Share--worth
$1,500,000 ($19 million in today's dollars) at the time UBC was disbanded in
1951. (The Harriman family garnered $4 billion!) It was the money used to start
the Bush Family Texas oil empire. Another Harriman subsidiary through Silesian Holding Co.; Consolidated Silesian
Steel Corporation saw the Harriman-Bush group owning one-third of a complex
of steel making, coal-mining, and zinc-mining activities in Germany and Poland.
The other two-thirds were owned by Wehrwirtschaftsführer (Military Economy
Leader) Friedrich Flick. Silesian Holding Company's president was George Walker
and its sole directors were Prescott Bush and Averill Harriman. Silesian Steel used slave labor from Auschwitz (even before the concentration
camp was built there) in its coal, iron and zinc mining operations. At Nuremberg,
Flick was sentenced to seven years for Silesian's role in building up the Nazi
war machine. Harriman, Bush and Walker were never charged. June 14, 1940, nine months after the Nazis conquered Poland, the IG Farben
Company opened an Auschwitz factory and slave labor camp in occupied Poland,
to produce artificial rubber and gasoline from coal. This was done in a partnership
with Rockefeller's Standard Oil Company (EXXON). The millions made off the labor of hundreds of thousands of Nazi victims were
inherited by William S. Farish III, grandson of William S. Farish, the head
of the IG/Standard cartel. Farish III is George H.W. Bush's best friend and
the person who took over Bush's assets and managed them in a blind trust after
Bush was elected vice-president. Investigator John Loftus has said, "As a former federal prosecutor, I
would make a case for Prescott Bush, his father-in-law (George Walker) and Averill
Harriman to be prosecuted for giving aid and comfort to the enemy. They remained
on the boards of these companies knowing that they were of financial benefit
to the nation of Germany." I've yet to take the Wayback Machine back to investigate Rice's whopper that
decrying the carnage of the U.S. Civil War meant supporting leaving Slavery
in place. But, I'm pretty certain that the same unsavory links to what John
Trudell calls, "the colonial industrial class" were just as odious
in the 1860s. MICHAEL DONNELLY has numerous family members who fought
in WWII against the Nazis while the Bush family was enriching themselves collaborating.
