Was Prescott Bush,the grandfather of inbred George a nazi sympathizer?Its all over the internet.Is it true,I do not know.
I've read : 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 Nazism. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2004/sep/25/usa.secondworldwar To say he was a sympathiser of the Nazi regime, is pushing it. More likely, the rumour is still circulated because it tarnishes the Bush family. Ergo George W Bush. Just an attempt to put one more nail in his coffin. There are far more realistic/credible options to choose than the well trodden Bush/Natzi narrative. In any case, what would it matter now if it was true?
Yes, it is true. Prescott Bush was the director of the Union Banking Company, which during WWII served as a money laundering front for the Nazis. This bank was also tied in with a lot of other businesses which had direct ties to the Nazis. Brown Brothers Harriman, which Prescott Bush also worked for, worked for IG Farben, which operated Auschwitz. IG Farben formed a direct link between the Nazis and the Rockefellers. The first director of the CIA, Allen Dulles, was a representative of IG Farben, which owned large amounts of stock in Rockefeller-owned oil interests. So grandfather Bush played a role in this, but really the entire Anglo-American establishment did. The Nazi war machine would have never been possible had it not been for the US corporations and banks that were funneling money and materials to the Nazis. Where were the Nazis getting their fuel from? The Rockefellers' Standard Oil. A slew of Western corporations also did business with the Nazis, such as IBM, Eastman Kodak, Dupont, ITT, General Electric... the list goes on and on. Here is a picture with Hitler and the head of IBM, Thomas Watson. IBM made the technology that was used to identify and catalogue the prisoners at Auschwitz.
Can you imagine if mainstream media mentioned that the Bush family were linked to the Nazis BEFORE Bush 1 or 2 were elected.They would never have been even close to being elected.In many ways US media and news NOW are as bad as something like AL-Jazeera news.
"Sixties radical" David Dellinger originally became an activist after traveling to Germany in the 1930s, where he says he found heavy corporate involvement between major US corporations and the Nazis- to the displeasure of Jews that he met there. He wrote about it (though not at great length) in a book called "From Yale to Jail."
Pressed_Rat - Does that make him a "Nazi Sympathiser" or just a "money grabbing bastard"? I'd go for the latter myself. But, I also found this. "Document uncovers details of a planned coup in the USA in 1933 by right-wing American businessmen" ( http://tinyurl.com/2cc7af ) Which some bright spark turned into: "BBC: Bush's Grandfather Planned Fascist Coup In America" ( http://tinyurl.com/2r6nfh ) . One has him wishing to rescue the American economy. The other has him, well, who knows (But, I doubt it was anything akin to what Hitler did - well I guess Hitler did improve the German economy *chuckle*).
http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2007/07/bbc_bushs_grandfather_planned.html Not "The Bush family", a member of "The Bush family". I'm not sure if they did or not. It might have been old news by then. But, I can imagine it was dragged up by somebody. Twisted to have the chap goose-stepping in Hitlers war-room plotting the next move of the Natzi regime.
To answer your question: Both Prescott Bush, like his son and grandson, was a member of Skull & Bones, which is chapter 322 of a secret society that was brought over from Germany in 1832 and established at Yale University by William H. Russell and Alphonso Taft. It was founded collectively under the name Russell Trust, which was the American branch of the British East India Company. Much of the same masonic-germanic-kabbalistic symbolism found in S&B is the same symbolism used by the Nazis. Of course none of this symbolism originated with the nazis, but the masonic-germanic-kabbalistic secret societies that predated it. The underlying mindset/religion of the elite bloodlines that make up the membership of Skull & Bones is very much rooted in the same occult roots that gave rise to nazism. These people are staunch believers in racial/genetic purity and eugenics, and they see themselves as more evolved than the rest of humanity.
Even a member of the Bush family being linked to the Nazis should have been well publicized by mainstream media.If it was well known "again" before Bush 1 or 2,those 2 would have never been considered as someone a major party would nominate as Pres.
forrealz I appreciate wiki is not the best place to look for balance. Check it out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prescott_Bush#Business_links_with_Fritz_Thyssen Maybe there was nothing to say. You can take three roads. 1. Believe what it says on wiki. 2. Believe what Pressed Rat is asserting. 3. Throw it in the pile labelled: Irrelevance. I have a feeling you want there to be more to this than there maybe. No offence. If you do, I know which option you will choose. Pressed rat: I've heard patches of the narrative before, but you put it very well. Ever thought about having your own website on this subject? I don't think I believe most of it, to be honest. But, it is always a pleasure to read a well articulated argument (You may say fact).
Nope, no "revelations", it's a matter of historical record that Joe Kennedy was seeking an accommodation with the Nazis while he was ambassador to the UK, and declared that democracy was "finished" in England even while German bombs were falling on our cities. To this day we spit at the mention of his name.
I see. A quick history lesson reveals he may have been a bit of a tosser. When you say 'accommodation' do you mean 'appeasement'? I'm sure there were plenty of people that would not have cared what happened to the rest of the world, or who we got into bed with. As long as 'ol blighty was safe.
During the 1930's quite a few conservatives in France, Great Britain, and the United States thought that in the conflict between Nazism and Communism that Nazism was the lesser to two evils. In Great Britain and the United States nearly all of these supported the Allied war effort when it began, but in France conservatives often collaborated with the German occupation. In her book A Choice, Not an Echo, which was written to advocate the presidential campaign of Barry Goldwater in 1964, Phillis Schlafy indicates that she regrets America's entry into World War II on the side of the Soviet Union. Nevertheless, Schlafy supported the war effort during the war.
