The Guardian: How Bush's grandfather helped Hitler's rise to power

category international | anti-war / imperialism | other press author Saturday September 25, 2004 12:24author by redjade Report this post to the editors

The Guardian confirms the story that has been circulating on the net for years....

George Bush's grandfather, the late US senator Prescott Bush, was a director and shareholder of companies that profited from their involvement with the financial backers of Nazi Germany.

The Guardian has obtained confirmation from newly discovered files in the US National Archives that a firm of which Prescott Bush was a director was involved with the financial architects of Nazis

[....]

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.

[....]

Prescott Bush, a 6ft 4in charmer with a rich singing voice, was the founder of the Bush political dynasty and was once considered a potential presidential candidate himself. Like his son, George, and grandson, George W, he went to Yale where he was, again like his descendants, a member of the secretive and influential Skull and Bones student society. He was an artillery captain in the first world war and married Dorothy Walker, the daughter of George Herbert Walker, in 1921.

[....]

"You can't blame Bush for what his grandfather did any more than you can blame Jack Kennedy for what his father did - bought Nazi stocks - but what is important is the cover-up, how it could have gone on so successfully for half a century, and does that have implications for us today?" he said.

"This was the mechanism by which Hitler was funded to come to power, this was the mechanism by which the Third Reich's defence industry was re-armed, this was the mechanism by which Nazi profits were repatriated back to the American owners, this was the mechanism by which investigations into the financial laundering of the Third Reich were blunted," said Loftus, who is vice-chairman of the Holocaust Museum in St Petersburg.

This is an important example where a story which has been circulated and repeated many times since the internet "went citizen" has increasingly been verified by proper journalistic and historical sources.

Apart from a brief mention in the opening chapters of "Stupid White Men" by Michael Moore, the "US republican side" of hitler supporters has not been given the mass consumption treatment. Michael Moore sourced-
1) The Boston Globe - edition of 23 Dec. 2001
article- "an american dynasty" author- M. Kranish.
2) The Jewish Advocate edition of 19 April
2001
article "The Bush family- Third Reich fact or fiction" Susie Davidson.
3) Sarasota Herald Tribune 12 Nov, 2000
"author links Bush family to Nazis".

The parallel relationship between Joe Kennedy (Democrat Party) and the Nazi regime inspired one popular *"what if"* trashy novel, where an alternative history was imagined, one where Europe was consolidated under Berlin "from the Atlantic to the Urals" and the Russian front continued in slow atritition to the 1960s, at which stage Joe Kennedy (JFK's dad) has achieved the White House (He had been US ambassador to London during the reich) and is engaged in talks with an ageing hitler to finally end the bolshevik threat, the "hero" of the book races to release definitive proof of the holocaust to the kindly old american and thus end the decades old belief that "all the jews and others moved out east and were given a homeland", which he manages to do in the nick of time...

Is This important?

Yes.
& anyone who pretends otherwise is a coward.
We are slowly learning what happened before the war, and what occured after the war. The previous fifty years have seen us in "western Europe" brainwashed with the allied victory in the military conflicts, yet remarkably reticent about "collusion", about the relationship between (for example) the Vatican and the nazis, De Valera and the nazis, the British royal family (ex Edward viiii) and the nazis, the French (vichy) and the nazis, Franco and the nazis, half of the South American dictatorships and the nazis, the Kennedy family and the nazis, and of course the Bush family and the nazis.
which means sooner or later - "someone you admire or are related to or were governed by and the N-"

Meanwhile our fellow citizens of the European Union ("established by democratically legal institutionalised nation states") to the east, grew up brainwashed with their victory in the military conflicts and the belief that we never even attempted a sincere process of de-nazification, that in short we were post fascist regimes.

Money never goes away. It justs gets traded. Rich men may become poor men, but the money still continues and it prefers to look after it's self. Teddy Kennedy probably hasn't counted the money in and out of his grand-daddy's nazi account any more than Dubya worries about his links, or anyone who had shares in IBM or drives a Volkswagen or munches speed at a nightclub.

But the Holocaust happened and without it, you would not have this modern world, complete with ...
pharmaceuticals - wmd- hyperpropaganda - antisemitism - jet aircraft - internet.

Glorified and sanctified be God's great name throughout the world which He has created according to His will.
May He establish His kingdom in your lifetime and during your days, and within the life of the entire House of
Israel, speedily and soon; and say, Amen.

May His great name be blessed forever and to all eternity.

Blessed and praised, glorified and exalted, extolled and honored, adored and lauded be the name of the Holy
One, blessed be He, beyond all the blessings and hymns, praises and consolations that are ever spoken in the
world; and say, Amen.

May there be abundant peace from heaven, and life, for us and for all Israel; and say, Amen.

He who creates peace in His celestial heights, may He create peace for us and for all Israel; and say, Amen !

Shure this is as old as bloody tay .... and it hasn't just been circulating "on the internet" ....

The recently deceased maverick academic and author, Antony Sutton (+ 2002), British born and formerly attached to Hoover Institution in the USA, published two volumes entitled:

WALL STREET AND THE RISE OF HITLER
1976 Arlington House.
1999 Buccaneer Books

and

WALL STREET AND THE BOLSHEVIK REVOLUTION
1974 Arlington House
1999 Buccaneer Books

http://www.antonysutton.com/suttonbibliography.html

These volumes document how Wall Street financial oligarchs (who included Grand pa Bush) played a key role in financing both the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia AND the National Socialist Revolution in Germany.

Before anyone discounts this as whacko "conspiracy theory" nonsense, obtain and read a copy of Sutton's books. In particular study his explanations on the use of the Hegelian dialectic by these oligarchs.

It follws a pattern identified by Carroll Quigley of Georgetown University (Bill Clinton's mentor) in his "Tragedy and Hope" where he writes about Wall Street infiltrating and manipulating radical movements in the USA:
"To [J.P.] Morgan all political parties were simply organizations to be used, and the firm always was careful to keep a foot in all camps. Morgan himself, Dwight Morrow, and other partners were allied with Republicans; Russell C. Leffingwell was allied with the Democrats; Grayson Murphy was allied with the extreme Right; and Thomas W. Lamont was allied with the Left . . ."
http://www.radioliberty.com/nlsept99.htm

Sutton's later work concentrates on "the Order", the name he adopted for "America's Secret Establishment" (the secret nwtwork of power comprising societies like the Skull and Bones etc.)

So this amazing piece of "news" merely confirms what non-court historians like Sutton first committed to PAPER (i.e. pre-Internet) around THIRTY YEARS AGO ....

The Guardian's claim that the story of Bush's grandfather has just come to light is not credible.

German industrialist Fritz Thyssen had financed the Nazis but broke with them after the pograms against the Jews.

The article below concludes with the line:'So, did Bush and his firm finance the Nazis and enable Germany to rearm? Indirectly, yes. But they had a lot of company. Some of the most distinguished names in American business had investments or subsidiaries in prewar Germany, including Standard Oil and General Motors. Critics have argued for years that without U.S. money, the Nazis could never have waged war. But American business has always invested in totalitarian regimes--witness our dealings with mainland China.'

tracing all those billions back can be very difficult. but some things are clear-
some people didn't have billions in 1939 that do now, and not all of them are monsters of grace.
