Guardian: Prescott Bush's business with the Nazis. If the swastika fits!

[Melodybe]

For anyone that doesn't think it's appropriate to call Bush a Nazi, I say read this article and then talk to me.

It's from last year right before the election. Can you imagine one of America's biggest news papers talking about the Bush/Nazi ties?

Well thanks to the Guardian, a decent newspaper in jolly ole England, it's all laid out for us.

Read it and share it with your friends.

If the swastika fits:

1. I read this last year, and then again now.

Helps me keep my facts straight, and that is an accomplishment. After all, just these past 4+ years, I have a hard time keeping up with all the consorted, twisted "realities" that are the Bushies and their business relationships.

2. kick for emphasis!

[wli]

3. wow, it's even worse than the sources I've read say

[moodforaday]

4. kick (n/t)

[Melodybe]

5. kick again cause their Nazi past should be exposed!

[moodforaday]

10. I've just noticed

The Guardian piece is from September 2004. Before the elections. No-one cared then, no-one really will.

(No-one, figuratively speaking, of course...)

6. Personally, I don't blame anyone for stuff their grandparents did.

Wasn't Joseph Kennedy a fan of the nazis? Does that make Robert or John Kennedy a nazi?

[moodforaday]

9. Even if he or she is still profiting

from grandafther's deeds?

That, and the fact the article mentions, that somehow it was never really aired.

19. According to the article you posted, it's less about being a nazi

than it is about making money.

"While there is no suggestion that Prescott Bush was sympathetic to the Nazi cause, the documents reveal that the firm he worked for, Brown Brothers Harriman (BBH), acted as a US base for the German industrialist, Fritz Thyssen, who helped finance Hitler in the 1930s before falling out with him at the end of the decade. The Guardian has seen evidence that shows Bush was the director of the New York-based Union Banking Corporation (UBC) that represented Thyssen's US interests and he continued to work for the bank after America entered the war."

He did business with both sides. So it seems you can call Prescott Bush an unethical scumbag, but he was probably not a nazi. Ethics are in short supply in the Bush family.

8. Call it like you see it!

I mean, its not like we don't have the cajones to APOLOGIZE if we've erred, ya know??

11. The crimes of a grandfather

are not the crimes of a grandson.

Joseph Kennedy worked with the Mafia. That doesn't mean his family members are Mafiosos as well.

Dumbya has committed enough of his own crimes. He doesn't need any help from his grandpa.

14. Mafia?? I think he was running booze during prohibition

[bobbieinok]

15. AND this always is brought up about the Kennedys..and the Bushes???

16. The Mafia didn't gas 6 million Jews!

Selling Booze is a tad different than owning part of a company(I G Farben) that made the "Gift Gas" Zyclon B that was used in the Nazi death camps.

13. Here is the story..."Bushbook" by Webster G. Tarpley

Chapter - II - The Hitler Project

Bush Property Seized--Trading with the Enemy

By Oct. 26, 1942, U.S. troops were under way for North Africa. On Oct. 28, the government issued orders seizing two Nazi front organizations run by the Bush-Harriman bank: the Holland-American Trading Corporation and the Seamless Steel Equipment Corporation.

U.S. forces landed under fire near Algiers on Nov. 8, 1942; heavy combat raged throughout November. Nazi interests in the Silesian-American Corporation, long managed by Prescott Bush and his father-in-law George Herbert Walker, were seized under the Trading with the Enemy Act on Nov. 17, 1942. In this action, the government announced that it was seizing only the Nazi interests, leaving the Nazis' U.S. partners to carry on the business.@s3

These and other actions taken by the U.S. government in wartime were, tragically, too little and too late. President Bush's family had already played a central role in financing and arming Adolf Hitler for his takeover of Germany; in financing and managing the buildup of Nazi war industries for the conquest of Europe and war against the U.S.A.; and in the development of Nazi genocide theories and racial propaganda, with their well-known results.

The facts presented here must be known, and their implications reflected upon, for a proper understanding of President George Herbert Walker Bush and of the danger to mankind that he represents. The President's family fortune was largely a result of the Hitler project. The powerful Anglo-American family associations, which later boosted him into the Central Intelligence Agency and up to the White House, were his father's partners in the Hitler project.

Trading with the Enemy Act

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The Trading with the Enemy Act is a United States law forbidding trade with enemies in times of war. The official description of the Act, as part of Public Law, is: "An Act To define, regulate, and punish trading with the enemy, and for other purposes."

The law was passed by Congress in 1917, in order to prevent American citizens from doing business with the German Empire, a nation with which the U.S. was at war.

One of the most famous applications of the law was the seizure of the Union Banking Corporation by the American government in October 1942, on the basis that it was a Nazi "front group". The Union Banking Corporation was operated by Prescott Bush.

17. More...

The Nazi Bush family got rich
stealing the gold filings
out of murdered victims teeth.

Four generations of the sociopathic predator George W. Bush family have been attacking the human race through stealth practices, and contributing to the mass murder of millions of people. The Bush family has financed, aided and abetted, and collaborated with the most evil dictators and tyrants of the 20th century.

The story is too complicated as told by most historians, so this is an attempt to give a concise overview of the key points of this geneology of monsters which can be easily grasped by the general public. Of course this is a simplification and many links are provided to documentation online. More complete history is found in books in libraries which are copyrighted and therefore not on the internet.
