Throughout the Bush family's decades of public life, the American press has gone out of its way to overlook one historical fact - that through Union Banking Corporation (UBC), Prescott Bush, and his father-in-law, George Herbert Walker, along with German industrialist Fritz Thyssen, financed Adolf Hitler before and during World War II. It was first reported in 1994 by John Loftus and Mark Aarons in The Secret War Against the Jews: How Western Espionage Betrayed the Jewish People.

----------------

In fact, Walker hired Bush to help him supervise the new Thyssen/Flick United Steel Works. One section of the USW empire was the Consolidated Silesian Steel Corporation and the Upper Silesian Coal and Steel Company located in the Silesian section of Poland. Thyssen and Flick paid Bush and Walker generously, but it was worth every dime. Their new business arrangement pleased them all financially, and the collective talents of all four men and their rapid success astonished the business world.

-----------------

On October 20, 1942, the U.S. government had had enough of Prescott Bush and his Nazi business arrangements with Thyssen. Over the summer, The New York Tribune had exposed Bush and Thyssen, whom the Tribune dubbed "Hitler's Angel." When the US government saw UBC's books, they found out that Bush's bank and its shareholders "are held for the benefit of ... members of the Thyssen family, is property of nationals ... of a designated enemy country."

[jdj]

16. This is a man who killed 435 out of 500 birds just for fun.

So he's definitely in his element. Probably smiling at the hair display and thinking "wow, all those liberal hippy longhairs...I'll have way more than this."

[diamond14]

18. Slightly O/T

a former soldier was interviewed on Radio Scotland this morning. His unit was one of the first into Belsen. He described how the atmosphere changed as they approached the camp, into a "greasy" smell. They had to stop themselves dishing out their rations in case the immediate consumption by the malnourished resulted in their deaths.

This soldier talked quietly, and calmly, about how he realised why they were involved in a war in the first place.

We cannot grasp what happened in that era. Human beings were being systematically exterminated. Ever seen "The Piano"? Can you recall the scene where a young girl is waiting to be herded into a cattle truck and screams "Why are they doing this, why are they doing this?"? Can you imagine how you would feel if it was your wife, your mother or your sister screaming out? Picture that and think...

I thought of this lying in my warm bed this morning. I realised it was only 60 years ago. I am not ashamed to say I turned off the radio. Otherwise, I'd have ended up crying.

Never, ever, forget what happened to those people. And never smile at the sight of a monument to man's inhumanity to his fellow human beings.

No wonder we are the most hated country on the planet.
