"What luck for the rulers that men do not think."
--Adolf Hitler

In October of 1942, under the Trading With the Enemy Act, the U.S. government halted operations at New York's Union Banking Corporation. A bank official was charged with "Running Nazi front groups in the United States."

His name: Prescott Bush.

Prescott Bush, father of future U.S President George Herbert Walker Bush and grandfather of George W. Bush, had been hard at work on behalf of his Nazi partners. In flagrant violation of U.S. law, Prescott Bush had worked tirelessly to launder money, procure raw materials, arrange transportation and provide guidance for the Nazi war effort and the German army he had helped to build.

In April of 2002, George W. Bush -- standing literally on the bones of the men who fell at Normandy beachhead in mortal combat with that very same Nazi army -- delivered his Memorial Day address. He said, in part, "This is a day our country has set apart to remember what was gained in our wars, and all that was lost."

Let us remember.
As the German army came crashing into Poland, spreading death and destruction in its path, Prescott Bush continued aiding the Nazis.

As German tanks rolled through the Ardennes Forest and into Paris, Prescott Bush continued aiding the Nazis.

As Allied forces fighting to defend France were forced literally into the sea at Dunkirk by the German Army, Prescott Bush continued aiding the Nazis.

As German war planes rained bombs down on London, killing 50 thousand English men, women and children, Prescott Bush continued aiding the Nazis.

As millions died at the hands of the most ruthless and violent organization the world has ever known, Prescott Bush continued aiding them.

And of course, as Hitler and the Nazis planned and carried out the extermination of Europe's Jews, Prescott Bush was an eager and active partner.
When did Bush stop? When we made him stop.

In this case, George W. Bush won't have to worry about the US Government shutting him down. That's been taken care of -- he is the US Government.

As debate rages back and forth across the Atlantic over the morality and acceptability of this assault against Iraq, it is interesting to note the German position.

It was Germany who bought most completely into the war lie during the past century. It was the German people who, with their faith in country and leadership, and even their loyalty to the Fatherland, made possible the greatest nightmare the world has ever known. It is those same German people who stand today before Europe and the world in unflinching opposition to this latest world conquering force.

How well do the German people know George W. Bush? Better than they want to.

pg 6 The Nazi - American Money Plot 1933-1949

excerpted from the book
Trading with the Enemy
The Nazi - American Money Plot 1933-1949
by Charles Higham
Delacorte Press, 1983
Preface

p xiii
...a number of financial and industrial figures of World War II
and several members of the government served the cause of money
before the cause of patriotism. While aiding the United States'
war effort, they also aided Nazi Germany's.

p xiv
It thus came as a severe shock to learn that several of the greatest American corporate leaders were in league with Nazi corporations before and after Pearl Harbor, including I.G. Farben, the colossal
Nazi industrial trust that created Auschwitz. Those leaders interlocked through an association I have dubbed The Fraternity. Each of these business leaders was entangled with the others through interlocking directorates or financial sources. All were represented internationally by the National City Bank or by the Chase National Bank and by the Nazi attorneys Gerhardt Westrick and Dr. Heinrich Albert. All had connections to that crucial Nazi economist, Emil Puhl, of Hitler's Reichsbank and the Bank for International Settlements. The tycoons were linked by an ideology: the ideology of Business as Usual. Bound by identical reactionary ideas, the members sought
a common future in fascist domination regardless of which world leader might further that ambition.
Several members not only sought a continuing alliance of interests
for the duration of World War II but supported the idea of a negotiated peace with Germany that would bar any reorganization of Europe along liberal lines. It would leave as its residue a police state that would place The Fraternity in postwar possession of financial, industrial, and political autonomy. When it was clear that Germany was losing the war the businessmen became notably more "loyal.'' Then, when war was over, the survivors pushed into Germany, protected their assets, restored Nazi friends to high office, helped provoke the Cold War, and insured the permanent future of The Fraternity.

p xv
To this day the bulk o~ Americans do not suspect The Fraternity.
The government smothered everything, during and even (inexcusably)
after the war. What would have happened if millions of American
and British people, struggling with coupons and lines at the gas
stations, had learned that in 1942 Standard Oil of New Jersey
managers shipped the enemy's fuel through neutral Switzerland
and that the enemy was shipping Allied fuel? Suppose the public
had discovered that the Chase Bank in Nazi-occupied Paris after
Pearl Harbor was doing millions of dollars' worth of business
with the enemy with the full knowledge of the head office in Manhattan?
Or that Ford trucks were being built for the German occupation
troops in France with authorization from Dearborn, Michigan? Or
that Colonel Sosthenes Behn, the head of the international American
telephone conglomerate ITT, flew from New York to Madrid to Berne
during the war to help improve Hitler's communications systems
and improve the robot bombs that devastated London? Or that ITT
built the Focke-Wulfs that dropped bombs on British and American
troops? Or that crucial ball bearings were shipped to Nazi-associated
customers in Latin America with the collusion of the vice-chairman
of the U. S. War Production Board in partnership with Goring's
cousin in Philadelphia when American forces were desperately short
of them? Or that such arrangements were known about in Washington
and either sanctioned or deliberately ignored?
For the government did sanction such dubious transactions-both
before and after Pearl Harbor. A presidential edict, issued six
days after December 7, 1941, actually set up the legislation whereby
licensing arrangements for trading with the enemy could officially
be granted. Often during the years after Pearl Harbor the government
permitted such trading. For example, ITT was allowed to continue
its relations with the Axis and Japan until 1945, even though
that conglomerate was regarded as an official instrument of United
States Intelligence. No attempt was made to prevent Ford from
retaining its interests for the Germans in Occupied France, nor
were the Chase Bank or the Morgan Bank expressly forbidden to
keep open their branches in Occupied Paris. It is indicated that
the Reichsbank and Nazi Ministry of Economics made promises to
certain U.S. corporate leaders that their properties would not
be injured after the Fuhrer was victorious. Thus, the bosses of the
multinationals as we know them today had a six-spot on every
side of the dice cube. Whichever side won the war, the powers
that really ran nations would not be adversely affected.
And it is important to consider the size of American investments
in Nazi Germany at the time of Pearl Harbor. These amounted to
an estimated total of $475 million. Standard Oil of New Jersey
had $120 million invested there; General Motors had $35 million;
111 had $30 million; and Ford had $17.5 million. Though it would
have been more patriotic to have allowed Nazi Germany to confiscate
these companies for the duration-to nationalize them or to absorb
them into Hermann Goring's industrial empire-it was clearly more
practical to insure them protection from seizure by allowing them
to remain in special holding companies, the money accumulating
until war's end. It is interesting that whereas there is no evidence
of any serious attempt by Roosevelt to impeach the guilty in the
United States, there is evidence that Hitler strove to punish certain
German Fraternity associates on the grounds of treason
to the Nazi state. Indeed, in the case of ITT, perhaps the most
flagrant of the corporations in its outright dealings with the
enemy, Hitler and his postmaster general, the venerable Wilhelm
Ohnesorge, strove to impound the German end of the business. But
even they were powerless in such a situation: the Gestapo leader
of counterintelligence, Walter Schellenberg, was a prominent director
and shareholder of ITT by arrangement with New York-and even Hitler
dared not cross the Gestapo.
As for Roosevelt, the Sphinx still keeps his secrets. That
supreme politician held all of the forces of collusion and betrayal
in balance, publicly praising those executives whom he knew to
be questionable. Before Pearl Harbor, he allowed such egregious
executives as James D. Mooney of General Motors and William Rhodes
Davis of the Davis Oil Company to enjoy pleasant tete-a-tetes
with Hitler and Goring, while maintaining a careful record of
what they were doing. During the war, J. Edgar Hoover, Adolf A.
Berle, Henry Morgenthau, and Harold Ickes kept the President fully
advised of all internal and external transgressions. With great
skill, he never let the executives concerned know that he was
on to them. By using the corporate leaders for his own war purposes
as dollar-a-year men, keeping an eye on them and allowing them
to indulge, under license or not, in their international tradings,
he at once made winning the war a certainty and kept the public
from knowing what it should not know.
p xvii
Why did even the loyal figures of the American government allow
these transactions to continue after Pearl Harbor? A logical deduction
I would be that not to have done so would have involved public
disclosure: the procedure of legally disconnecting these alliances
under the antitrust laws would have resulted in a public scandal
that would have drastically affected public morale, caused widespread
strikes, and perhaps provoked mutinies in the armed services.
Moreover, as some corporate executives were never tired of reminding
the government, their trial and imprisonment would have made it
impossible for the corporate boards to help the American war effort.
Therefore, the government was powerless to intervene. After 1945,
the Cold War, which the executives had done so much to provoke,
made it even more necessary that the truth of The Fraternity agreements
should not be revealed.

A Bank for All Reasons
p1

On a bright May morning in 1944, while young Americans were dying on the
Italian beachheads, Thomas Harrington McKittrick, American president of
the Nazi-controlled Bank for International Settlements
in Basle, Switzerland, arrived at his office to preside over a
fourth annual meeting in time of war. This polished American gentleman
sat down with his German, Japanese, Italian, British, and American
executive staff to discuss such important matters as the $378
million in gold that had been sent to the Bank by the Nazi government
after Pearl Harbor for use by its leaders after the war. Gold
that had been looted from the national banks of Austria, Holland,
Belgium, and Czechoslovakia, or melted down from the Reichsbank
holdings of the teeth fillings, spectacle frames, cigarette cases
and lighters, and wedding rings of the murdered Jews.
The Bank for International Settlements was a joint creation
in 1930 of the world's central banks, including the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York. Its existence was inspired by Hjalmar Horace
Greeley Schacht, Nazi Minister of Economics and president of the
Reichsbank, part of whose early upbringing was in Brooklyn, and
who had powerful Wall Street connections. He was seconded by the
all-important banker Emil Puhl, who continued under the regime
of Schacht's successor, Dr. Walther Funk.
Sensing Adolf Hitler's lust for war and conquest, Schacht,
even before Hitler rose to power in the Reichstag, pushed for
an institution that would retain channels of communication and
collusion between the world's financial leaders even in the event
of an international conflict. It was written into the Bank's charter,
concurred in by the respective governments, that the BIS should
be immune from seizure, closure, or censure, whether or not its
owners were at war. These owners included the Morgan-affiliated
First National Bank of New York (among whose directors were Harold
S. Vanderbilt and Wendell Willkie), the Bank of England, the Reichsbank,
the Bank of Italy, the Bank of France, and other central banks.
Established under the Morgan banker Owen D. Young's so-called
Young Plan, the BIS's ostensible purpose was to provide the Allies
with reparations to be paid by Germany for World War I. The Bank
soon turned out to be the instrument of an opposite function.
It was to be a money funnel for American and British funds to
flow into Hitler's coffers and to help Hitler build up his war
machine.

p7
By 1939, the BIS had invested millions in Germany while Kurt von Schroder
and Emil Puhl deposited large sums in looted gold in
the Bank. The BIS was an instrument of Hitler, but its continuing
existence was approved by Great Britain even after that country
went to war with Germany ...
***

The Chase Nazi Account
p20
The Rockefellers' Chase National Bank (later the Chase Manhattan) was the
richest and most powerful financial institution in the
United States at the time of Pearl Harbor. The Rockefellers owned
Standard Oil of New Jersey, the German accounts of which were
siphoned through their own bank, the Chase, as well as through
the independent National City Bank of New York, which also handled
Standard, Sterling Products, General Aniline and Film, SKF, and
ITT, whose chief, Sosthenes Behn, was a director of the N.C.B.
Two executives of Standard Oil's German subsidiary were Karl Lindemann
and Emil Helfferich, prominent figures in Himmler's Circle of
Friends of the Gestapo-its chief financiers-and close friends
and colleagues of the BIS's Baron von Schroder.

p21
the lawyer Creekmore Fath wrote in the introduction to a book
entitled Patents for Hitler by Gunther Reimann
"Since the middle thirties, whenever a German business
group wanted to make an agreement with any business concern beyond
the borders of Germany, it was required first to submit a full
text of the proposed agreement to the Reichsbank. The Reichsbank
rejected or rewrote until \ the agreement met its approval. The
Reichsbank approved no agreement which did not fit into the plans
of the Nazi State and carry that state another step toward its
goal of world domination. In other words, any American firm which
reached an agreement or dealt with a German firm . . . was dealing
... with Hitler himself.
As war approached, the links between the Rockefellers and
the Nazi government became more and more firm. In 1936 the J.
Henry Schroder Bank of New York had entered into a partnership
with the Rockefellers. Schroder, Rockefeller and Company, Investment
Bankers, was formed as part of an overall company that Time magazine
disclosed as being "the economic booster of the Rome-Berlin
Axis. " The partners in Schroder, Rockefeller and Company
included Avery Rockefeller, nephew of John D., Baron Bruno von
Schroder in London, and Kurt von Schroder of the BIS and the Gestapo
in Cologne. Avery Rockefeller owned 42 percent of Schroder, Rockefeller,
and Baron Bruno and his Nazi cousin 47 percent. Their lawyers
were John Foster Dulles and Allen Dulles of Sullivan and Cromwell.
Allen Dulles (later of the Office of Strategic Services) was on
the board of Schroder. Further connections linked the Paris branch
of Chase to Schroder as well as the pro-Nazi Worms Bank and Standard
Oil of New Jersey in France. Standard Oil's Paris representatives
were directors of the Banque de Paris et des Pays-Bas, which had
intricate connections to the Nazis and to Chase.
Six months before the war broke out in Europe, Joseph J. Larkin
brought off his most audacious scheme in the Nazi interest, acting
in collusion with the Schroder Bank. Aldrich and the Schroders
secured no less than $25 million American for the use of Germany's
expanding war economy and accompanied it with a detailed record
(supplied direct to the Chase Bank in Berlin for forwarding to
the Nazi government) of the assets and background of ten thousand
Nazi sympathizers in the United States. The negotiations were
engineered with the help of Dr. Walther Funk and Emil Puhl.
In essence, the Nazi government through the Chase National
Bank offered Nazis in America the opportunity to buy marks with
dollars at a discount. The arrangement was open only to those
who wished to return to Germany and would use the marks in the
interest of the Nazis. Before any transaction could be made, such
persons had to convince the Nazi embassy in Washington that they
were bona fide supporters of German policy. They were told in
pamphlets sent out by the Chase National Bank in Manhattan that
Germany could offer glorious opportunities to them and that marks
would provide a hedge against inflation and would have much increased
value after victory b in the expected war.
As a result, there was a rush on marks. On February 15, 1939,
there was a summit meeting at the Chase in New York of representatives
of both Chase and Schroder banks on what was known as the Ruckwanderer
(Reimmigrant) scheme. Alfred W. Barth was the personal representative of
Winthrop Aldrich and Joseph J. Larkin, while E. H. Meili of
J. Henry Schroder represented that side of the association. At
the meeting the members discussed a proposal that the Reichsbank
should send a special representative to the Nazi consulate in
New York, which served as the headquarters of the Gestapo and
had its accounts at the Chase. The American group decided that
they should not take such a risk because their importing such
a person ` might reveal to the American public that they were
supporting Nazis. The minutes show that it was decided to
"let well enough alone and to conduct future business on behalf of
Berlin through "the employment of numerous agents and sub-agents who
operate through the country. These agents and sub-agents in cooperation
with their respective principals, ourselves, can go a long way
towards educating Germans in exile and those sympathetic to the
Nazi cause through extensive newspaper advertising campaigns,
radio broadcasts, as well as through literature, etc. .
It is unanimously felt that it would be to the greatest advantage
of everyone concerned if . . . Berlin would instruct the various
consulates in the United States that all inquiries about . . .
transactions should be referred to ourselves, whose name should
be supplied not only to the various consular offices in the U.S.
but also to those who inquire at the consulates in respect to
the procedure."
The bankers agreed that special attention should be focused
;~ shopkeepers, factory workers, and others with little money
but great potential for Germany. They should be able-bodied young
men and women of pure Aryan stock. Above all, the present meeting
must never come to the attention of the American government. The
minutes of the meeting state:
"The ensuing publicity and the agitation that has been
furthered in certain quarters of this country [against similar
schemes] might possibly compel our Department of State to enforce
a clearing system between Germany and America, under which monies
due to American citizens such as inheritances, etc., would have
to be cleared. The results are too obvious: firstly, no benefits
are likely to accrue to Germany; secondly, the final outcome might
prove disadvantageous from Germany's standpoint."
Thus, the Chase directors and the barons von Schroder were
afraid that if Morgenthau discovered the true facts, the U.S.
government might take measures detrimental to the German government.
It was an act of total collaboration with the Nazis.

Fourth Reich?

The Bush-Rove-Schwarzenegger Nazi Nexus

By BOB FITRAKIS and HARVEY WASSERMAN

George W. Bush's grandfather helped finance the Nazi Party. Karl Rove's grandfather allegedly helped run the Nazi Party, and helped build the Birkenau Death Camp. Arnold Schwarzenegger's Austrian father volunteered for the infamous Nazi SA and became a ranking officer.

Together, they have destabilized California and are on the brink of bringing it a new Reich. With the Schwarzenegger candidacy they have laid siege to America's largest state, lining it up for the 2004 election.

The Bush family ties to the Nazi party are well known. In their 1994 Secret War Against the Jews, Mark Aarons and John Loftus use official US documents to establish that George Herbert Walker, George W. Bush's maternal great-grandfather, was one of Hitler's most important early backers. He funneled money to the rising young fascist through the Union Banking Corporation.

In 1926, Walker arranged to have his new son-in-law, Prescott Bush---father of President George Bush I, grandfather of George Bush II---hired as Vice President at W.A. Harriman and Company. Prescott became a senior partner when Harriman merged with a British-American investment company to become Brown Brothers Harriman. In 1934 Prescott Bush joined the Board of Directors of Union Banking.

The bank helped Hitler rise to power. It also helped him wage war. As late as July 31, 1941---well after the Nazi invasion of Poland---the U.S. government froze $3 million in Union Banking assets linked to Fritz Thyssen. Thyssen was noted in the American press as a "German industrialist and original backer of Adolph Hitler."

Loftus writes that Thyssen's "American friends in New York Cityâ?|[were] Prescott Bush and Herbert Walker, the father and father-in-law of a future President of the United States." That would be the current president's father, George Herbert Walker Bush, also the former CIA director.

On October 20, 1942, the U.S. government ordered the seizure of Nazi Germany's banking operations in New York City, which were under the direction of Prescott Bush. The government seized control of Union Banking Corporation under the Trading with the Enemy Act. The liquidation yielded a reported $750,000 apiece for Prescott Bush and George Herbert Walker. The book, The Splendid Blonde Beast: Money, Law and Genocide, goes into exhaustive detail on Bush-Harriman Nazi money laundering. More recently, Michael Kranish covers the same Bush-Nazi relationships in The Rise of the Bush Family Dynasty published in the Boston Globe. Loftus documents that "Prescott Bush knowingly served as a money launderer for the Nazis. Remember that Union Bank's books and accounts were frozen by the U.S. Alien Property Custodian in 1942 and not released back to the Bush family until 1951."

Often ignored are the Bush family's post-World War II dealings with former Nazis. John Foster Dulles, who had worked with the Bush family in the Harriman Company in laundering money for Nazi Germany, was Dwight Eisenhower's Secretary of State. His brother Allen became CIA director.

As Martin Lee documents in The Beast Reawakens, American intelligence recruited numerous top Nazis to spy on the Soviets during the Cold War. Many established connections to the Bush family that had helped finance their original rise to power. In 1988 Project Censored, in its top award, noted "how the major mass media ignored, overlooked or undercovered at least ten critical stories reported in America's alternative press that raised serious questions about the Republican candidate, George Bush, dating from his reported role as a CIA 'asset' in 1963 to his presidential campaign's connection with a network of anti-Semites with Nazi and fascist affiliations in 1988." Investigative reporter Russ Bellant established ties between the Republican Party and former Axis Nazis and fascists.

In 2000 and 2001 the Columbus Alive published a series of articles documenting further links between Bush, Sr. and the Rev. Sun Myung Moon and his own fascist networks in Japan and Korea.

Karl Rove has parallel ties. The shadowy Rove serves as "Bush's Brain" in the current White House. He is the political mastermind behind the California coup, and is now in the headlines for outing Valerie Plame, the CIA wife of Ambassador Joseph Wilson. A consummate strategist, Rove may have outed Plame in retaliation for Wilson's failure to back up the Bush claim that Saddam Hussein was buying nuclear weapons materials in Africa. According to some published reports, as many as seventy CIA operatives have been put at risk by Rove's retaliatory strike.

According to Wilson, and to Retired U.S. Navy Lt. Commander Al Martin (www.almartinraw.com), Rove's grandfather was Karl Heinz Roverer, the Gauleiter of Oldenburg. Roverer was Reich-Statthalter---Nazi State Party Chairman---for his region. He was also a partner and senior engineer in the Roverer Sud-Deutche Ingenieurburo A. G. engineering firm, which built the Birkenau death camp, at which tens of thousands of Jews, Gypsies, dissidents and other were slaughtered en masse.

Rove, who has been based in Utah and associated with the Mormon Church, is widely viewed as the chief engineer of the current Bush administration. He and Tom DeLay are attempting to force the Texas legislature to redistrict its Congressional delegations, adding seven sure seats to the Republican column. By controlling the state houses in New York, Florida, Texas and California, the GOP would have a lock on the four largest states in the union, and thus the ability to manipulate vote counts and strip voter registration rolls in the run-up to the 2004 election.
Rove is a prime behind-the-scenes mover in the Schwarzenegger campaign. On May 1, 1939, a year after the Nazis took control of Schwarzenegger's native Austria, his father Gustav, voluntarily joined Hilter's infamous Strumabteilung (SA), "brown shirt" stormtroopers. This was just six months after the brown shirts played a key role in the bloody Kristallnacht attacks on Germany's Jewish community.

The Vienna daily Der Standard noted recently that "Gustav, a high-ranking Nazi, brought up the bespectacled, rather frail boy with an iron fist and quite a few slaps in the face." Arnold's father favored a Hitler-style mustache in photos.

On October 3, ABC News broke the story of Schwarzenegger's 1977 interview in which he was asked whom he admired. Schwarzenegger replied, "I admire Hitler, for instance, because he came from being a little man with almost no formal education, up to power. I admire him for being such a good public speaker and for what he did with it."

To cover himself, Schwarzenegger has made substantial donations to the Los Angeles-based Wiesenthal Center, which tracks down ex-Nazis. Arnold has also renounced Hitler.

But he has not renounced his friendship with fellow Austrian Kurt Waldheim, the one-time head of the United Nations with known Nazi ties. The book Arnold: An Unauthorized Biography, documents Arnold toasting Waldheim, who had participated in Nazi atrocities during World War II, at his wedding to Maria Shriver. "My friends don't want me to mention Kurt's name, because of all the recent Nazi stuff and the U.N. controversy," Arnold said. "But I love him and Maria does to, and so thank you, Kurt."

On May 17, 2001, Schwarzenegger also met with Kenneth "Kenny Boy" Lay of Enron at the Peninsula Hotel in Los Angeles. Through the utility deregulation plan signed into law by Pete Wilson, Schwarzenegger's chief advisor, California was destabilized, bankrupting the state government and opening the door for Tuesday's recall election. Lay has been George W. Bush's chief financial backer, and a close associate of Karl Rove's.

According to Bob Woodward's Bush at War, Bush attended a New York Yankees game soon after the September 11 World Trade Center disaster. He wore a fireman's jacket. As he threw out the first pitch, the crowd roared. Thousands of fans stuck out their arms with thumbs up. Karl Rove, sitting in the box of Yankee owner George Steinbrenner, likened the roar of the crowd to "a Nazi rally."

He would know.

pg 4 Bush Property Seized--Trading with the Enemy

Bush Property Seized--Trading with the Enemy

In October 1942, ten months after entering World War II, America was preparing its first assault against Nazi military forces. Prescott Bush was managing partner of Brown Brothers Harriman. His 18-year-old son George, the future U.S. President, had just begun training to become a naval pilot. On Oct. 20, 1942, the U.S. government ordered the seizure of Nazi German banking operations in New York City which were being conducted by Prescott Bush.
Under the Trading with the Enemy Act, the government took over the Union Banking Corporation, in which Bush was a director. The U.S. Alien Property Custodian seized Union Banking Corp.'s stock shares, all of which were owned by Prescott Bush, E. Roland `` Bunny '' Harriman, three Nazi executives, and two other associates of Bush.@s1
The order seizing the bank `` vests '' (seizes) `` all of the capital stock of Union Banking Corporation, a New York corporation, '' and names the holders of its shares as:

`` E. Roland Harriman--3991 shares ''
[chairman and director of Union Banking Corp. (UBC); this is `` Bunny '' Harriman, described by Prescott Bush as a place holder who didn't get much into banking affairs; Prescott managed his personal investments]
`` Cornelis Lievense--4 shares ''
[president and director of UBC; New York resident banking functionary for the Nazis]
`` Harold D. Pennington--1 share ''
[treasurer and director of UBC; an office manager employed by Bush at Brown Brothers Harriman]
`` Ray Morris--1 share ''

[director of UBC; partner of Bush and the Harrimans]
`` Prescott S. Bush--1 share ''
[director of UBC, which was co-founded and sponsored by his father-in-law George Walker; senior managing partner for E. Roland Harriman and Averell Harriman]
`` H.J. Kouwenhoven--1 share ''
[director of UBC; organized UBC as the emissary of Fritz Thyssen in negotiations with George Walker and Averell Harriman; managing director of UBC's Netherlands affiliate under Nazi occupation; industrial executive in Nazi Germany; director and chief foreign financial executive of the German Steel Trust]
`` Johann G. Groeninger--1 share ''
[director of UBC and of its Netherlands affiliate; industrial executive in Nazi Germany]
`` all of which shares are held for the benefit of ... members of the Thyssen family, [and] is property of nationals ... of a designated enemy country.... ''

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.@s2
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.
President Franklin Roosevelt's Alien Property Custodian, Leo T. Crowley, signed Vesting Order Number 248 seizing the property of Prescott Bush under the Trading with the Enemy Act. The order, published in obscure government record books and kept out of the news,@s4 explained nothing about the Nazis involved; only that the Union Banking Corporation was run for the `` Thyssen family '' of `` Germany and/or Hungary ''--`` nationals ... of a designated enemy country.

Bush Ancestor's Bank Seized by Gov't
Fri Oct 17, 7:25 PM ET

By JONATHAN D. SALANT, Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON -

President Bush's grandfather was a director of a bank seized by the federal government because of its ties to a German industrialist who helped bankroll Adolf Hitler's rise to power, government documents show. Prescott Bush was one of seven directors of Union Banking Corp., a New York investment bank owned by a bank controlled by the Thyssen family, according to recently declassified National Archives documents reviewed by The Associated Press.

Fritz Thyssen was an early financial supporter of Hitler, whose Nazi party Thyssen believed was preferable to communism. The documents do not show any evidence Bush directly aided that effort. His position with Union Banking never was a political issue for Bush, who was elected to the Senate from Connecticut in 1952.

Reports of Bush's involvement with the seized bank have been circulating on the Internet for years and have been reported by some mainstream media. The newly declassified documents provide additional details about the Union Banking-Thyssen connection.

Trent Duffy, a spokesman for President Bush, declined to comment.

Union Banking was owned by a Dutch bank, Bank voor Handel en Scheepvaardt N.V., which was "closely affiliated" with the German conglomerate United Steel Works, according to an Oct. 5, 1942, report from the federal Office of Alien Property Custodian. The Dutch bank and the steel firm were part of the business and financial empire of Thyssen and his brother, Heinrich Thyssen-Bornemisza, the report said.

The 4,000 Union Banking shares owned by the Dutch bank were registered in the names of the seven U.S. directors, according a document signed by Homer Jones, chief of the division of investigation and research of the Office of Alien Property Custodian, a World War II-era agency that no longer exists.

E. Roland Harriman, the bank chairman and brother of former New York Gov. W. Averell Harriman, held 3,991 shares. Bush had one share.

Both Harrimans and Bush were partners in the New York investment firm of Brown Brothers, Harriman and Co., which handled the financial transactions of the bank as well as other financial dealings with several other companies linked to Bank voor Handel that were confiscated by the U.S. government during World War II.

Union Banking was seized by the government in October 1942 under the Trading with the Enemy Act.

No charges were brought against Union Banking's American directors. The federal government was too busy trying to fight the war, said Donald Goldstein, a professor of public and international affairs at the University of Pittsburgh.

"We did not have the resources to do these things," Goldstein said.

Fritz Thyssen broke with the Nazis in 1938 over their persecution of Catholics and Jews, and fled to Switzerland. He later was arrested and spent 1941 to 1945 in a Nazi prison. His brother lived in Switzerland from 1932 to 1947 but continued to operate businesses in Germany.

The new documents were first reported by freelance writer John Buchanan in The New Hampshire Gazette.

Letter from John Buchanan
Author of Bush - Nazi Link Confirmed
Now living under 24-hour police protection after hundreds of credible death threats
TO: Jonathan Salant, Associated Press
CC: Sandy Johnson, Joe Magruder, Associated Press
Jonathan,
As you and your colleagues will see below, Geocities.com has noted editorially that AP "spun" the Bush-Nazi story.
I find it interesting and encouraging that such a reputable and generally impartial Web site would take such a clear stance. It turns out, based on the many e-mails I have been receiving from all over the world -- a group of law students in Kenya, a Pakistani office worker, a scholar in England, fellow journalists here in the US -- that a wide berth of readers and thinkers share that view.
I do as well.
The more I have thought about it, the more troubled I am that, given my still dire circumstances in light of my danger and anxiety, you have not even had the decency to contact me and hear my thoughts and feelings by direct interchange, in private. Therefore, I have chosen to "go public" with this communication in the hope of expediting the process of having you and AP acknowledge the truth -- and your own mis-reporting.
This is a vitally important story, as you will soon see, and it will not die and fade away because you and AP deign it so.
I am aware by cc of some of the e-mails being sent to you in defense of me and the New Hampshire Gazette, as well as truth and accuracy in reporting.
I am therefore challenging you and AP, in public view, to do one of two things, as I can see no other possibility now.
1) Either DISPROVE my reporting in the New Hampshire Gazette, by whatever credible means you can, or
2) CORRECT THE RECORD officially with regard to your inexplicably watered down and factually inaccurate story, as related in my e-mail last weekend and forwarded to Steve Fowle at NHG.
Your worst inaccuracy, however, was your general reduction of the seriousness of the facts by the "only one of seven directors" defense. The Bush family has used that for years. It is NOT TRUE. The facts show that Bush and Harriman ran the day to day operations of UBC and all its clients and related assets, for six more years AFTER THE WAR and involving Switzerland, Panama, Brazil and Argentina, where Thyssen died in 1951.
Your account of Thyssen's war experiences were 100% wrong. You should have asked me or Mr. Loftus as the only true "experts" in the world on this at the moment.
You could have been the third, and done some great and important reporting with regard to this missing history and its clear and present implications.
Instead, you went for a clumsily executed whitewash.
Why?
There will be a National Media Town Hall meeting in Washington in November, after my third story appears, which deals explicitly with the 60-year cover-up, including the two months it took to finally end it with Mr. Fowle, the true hero here in my opinion. Instead of quoting Mr. Fowle on an important point about the fading journalism tradition in this country, you quoted an irrelevant observation from a college professor.
Worse, you limited your entire story to just one seizure (UBC in October 1942) when there were 22 more between 1942 (prior to UBC) and 1951.
How could you not have reported that?
Mr. Fowle and I and my supporters were concerned you would "scoop" us with our differing news cycles and beat us to the never before reported stuff I have in this Friday's NHG. To not have done so runs counter to any reporter's killer instincts on a big story.
I trust that in due time, you will explain your reasoning on this or that someone will on AP's behalf.
I can be reached at (305) 535-9606 if you'd like to talk. Mr. Fowle can be reached at (603) 433-9898.
You might also want to contact John Loftus at LoftusHome@cs.com.
I trust you can understand that this is not personal. It is an issue of vital national interest and given my investment to date in it, I can not turn back until the whole truth and nothing but the truth is out.
I hope to hear from you and get your cooperation in that effort.
Thank you.

BUSH NAZI LINK CONFIRMED

BUSH-NAZI LINK CONFIRMED

Documents in National Archives Prove George W. Bush's
Grandfather Traded with Nazis - Even After Pearl Harbor

by John Buchanan (Exclusive to the New Hampshire Gazette)


WASHINGTON - After 60 years of inattention and even denial
by the U.S. media, newly-uncovered government documents in
The National Archives and Library of Congress reveal that
Prescott Bush, the grandfather of President George W. Bush,
served as a business partner of and U.S. banking operative
for the financial architect of the Nazi war machine from 1926
until 1942, when Congress took aggressive action against Bush
and his "enemy national" partners.

The documents also show that Bush and his colleagues, according
to reports from the U.S. Department of the Treasury, tried to
conceal their financial alliance with German industrialist Fritz
Thyssen, a steel and coal baron who, beginning in the mid-1920s,
personally funded Adolf Hitler's rise to power by the subversion
of democratic principle and German law.

Furthermore, the declassified records demonstrate that Bush
and his associates, who included E. Roland Harriman, younger
brother of American icon W. Averell Harriman, and George
Herbert Walker, President Bush's maternal great-grandfather,
continued their dealings with the German industrial tycoon for
nearly a year after the U.S. entered the war.

No Story?
For six decades these historical facts have gone unreported
by the mainstream U.S. media. The essential facts have
appeared on the Internet and in relatively obscure books, but
were dismissed by the media and Bush family as undocumented
diatribes. This story has also escaped the attention of "official"
Bush biographers, Presidential historians and publishers of U.S.
history books covering World War II and its aftermath.

The White House did not respond to phone calls seeking comment.

The Summer of '42
The unraveling of the web of Bush-Harriman-Thyssen U.S.
enterprises, all of which operated out of the same suite of
offices at 39 Broadway in New York under the supervision of
Prescott Bush, began with a story that ran simultaneously in
the New York Herald-Tribune and Washington Post on July 31,
1941. By then, the U.S. had been at war with Germany for
nearly eight months.

"Hitler's Angel Has $3 Million in U.S. Bank," declared the front-page
Herald-Tribune headline. The lead paragraph characterized Fritz
Thyssen as "Adolf Hitler's original patron a decade ago." In fact,
the steel and coal magnate had aggressively supported and funded
Hitler since October 1923, according to Thyssen's autobiography,
I Paid Hitler. In that book, Thyssen also acknowledges his direct
personal relationships with Adolf Hitler, Joseph Goebbels and Rudolf
Hess.

The Herald-Tribune also cited unnamed sources who suggested
Thyssen's U.S. "nest egg" in fact belonged to "Nazi bigwigs" including
Goebbels, Hermann Goering, Heinrich Himmler, or even Hitler himself.

Business is Business
The "bank," founded in 1924 by W. Averell Harriman on behalf of
Thyssen and his Bank voor Handel en Scheepvaart N.V. of Holland,
was Union Banking Corporation (UBC) of New York City. According
to government documents, it was in reality a clearing house for a
number of Thyssen-controlled enterprises and assets, including as
many as a dozen individual businesses. UBC also bought and shipped
overseas gold, steel, coal, and U.S. Treasury bonds. The company's
activities were administered for Thyssen by a Netherlands-born,
naturalized U.S. citizen named Cornelis Lievense, who served as
president of UBC. Roland Harriman was chairman and Prescott Bush
a managing director.


The Herald-Tribune article did not identify Bush or Harriman
as executives of UBC, or Brown Brothers Harriman, in which
they were partners, as UBC's private banker. A confidential
FBI memo from that period suggested, without naming the
Bush and Harriman families, that politically prominent individuals
were about to come under official U.S. government scrutiny as
Hitler's plunder of Europe continued unabated.

After the "Hitler's Angel" article was published Bush and Harriman
made no attempts to divest themselves of the controversial
Thyssen financial alliance, nor did they challenge the newspaper
report that UBC was, in fact, a de facto Nazi front organization in
the U.S.


Instead, the government documents show, Bush and his partners
increased their subterfuge to try to conceal the true nature and
ownership of their various businesses, particularly after the U.S.
entered the war. The documents also disclose that Cornelis Lievense,
Thyssen's personal appointee to oversee U.S. matters for his
Rotterdam-based Bank voor Handel en Scheepvaart N.V., via UBC
for nearly two decades, repeatedly denied to U.S. government
investigators any knowledge of the ownership of the Netherlands
bank or the role of Thyssen in it. Brown Brothers Harriman sent
letters to the government seeking reconsideration of the seizures
by using false information.

UBC's original group of business associates included George
Herbert Walker, President Bush's maternal great-grandfather,
who had a relationship with the Harriman family that began in
1919. In 1922, Walker and W. Averell Harriman traveled to
Berlin to set up the German branch of their banking and
investment operations, which were largely based on critical
war resources such as steel and coal.

The Walker-Harriman-created German industrial alliance also
included partnership with another German titan who supported
Hitler's rise, Friedrich Flick, who partnered with Thyssen in the
German Steel Trust that forged the Nazi war machine. For his
role in using slave labor and his own steel, coal and arms
resources to build Hitler's war effort, Flick was convicted at the
Nuremberg trials and sentenced to prison.

The Family Business
In 1926, after Prescott Bush had married Walker's daughter,
Dorothy, Walker brought Bush in as a vice president of the
private banking and investment firm of W.A. Harriman & Co.,
also located in New York. Bush became a partner in the firm
that later became Brown Brothers Harriman and the largest
private investment bank in the world. Eventually, Bush became
a director of and stockholder in UBC.

However, the government documents note that Bush, Harriman,
Lievense and the other UBC stockholders were in fact "nominees,"
or phantom shareholders, for Thyssen and his Holland bank,
meaning that they acted at the direct behest of their German
client.

Seized


On October 20, 1942, under authority of the Trading with the
Enemy Act, the U.S. Congress seized UBC and liquidated its
assets after the war. The seizure is confirmed by Vesting
Order No. 248 in the U.S. Office of the Alien Property Custodian
and signed by U.S. Alien Property Custodian Leo T. Crowley.

In August, under the same authority, Congress had seized the
first of the Bush-Harriman-managed Thyssen entities,
Hamburg-American Line, under Vesting Order No. 126, also
signed by Crowley. Eight days after the seizure of UBC,
Congress invoked the Trading with the Enemy Act again to
take control of two more Bush-Harriman-Thyssen businesses
- Holland-American Trading Corp. (Vesting Order No. 261)
and Seamless Steel Equipment Corp. (Vesting Order No. 259).

The documents from the Archives also show that the Bushes
and Harrimans shipped valuable U.S. assets, including gold, coal,
steel and U.S. Treasury bonds, to their foreign clients overseas
between 1931-33, as Hitler engineered his rise to power.

Still No Story?
Since 1942, the information has not appeared in any U.S. news
coverage of any Bush political campaign, nor has it been included
in any of the major Bush family biographies. It was, however,
covered extensively in George H.W. Bush: The Unauthorized
Biography, by Webster Tarpley and Anton Chaitkin. Chaitkin's
father served as an attorney in the 1940s for some of the
victims of the Bush-Harriman-Thyssen businesses.

The book gave a detailed, accurate accounting of the Bush
family's long Nazi affiliation, but no mainstream U.S. media
entity reported on or even investigated the allegations,
despite careful documentation by the authors. Major
booksellers declined to distribute the book, which was
dismissed by Bush supporters as biased and untrue. Its authors
struggled even to be reviewed in reputable newspapers. That
the book was published by Lyndon LaRouche's organization
undoubtedly made it easier to dismiss, but does not change
the facts.

The essence of the story has been posted for years
on various Internet sites, including BuzzFlash.com and
TakeBackTheMedia.com, but no online media seem to
have independently confirmed it.

In the 1990s, former U.S. Justice Department Nazi war
crimes prosecutor John Loftus, now honorary president
of the Florida Holocaust Museum, wrote a book and launched
a web site (www.john-loftus.com) which did breakthrough
reporting, including establishing the link between Prescott
Bush, Consolidated Silesian Steel Corporation and forced
labor at Auschwitz. Although the widely-respected Loftus
established a successful international speaking career with
his information, no U.S. newspaper or major TV news
program acknowledged his decade of work, nor did he ever
see many of the recently released documents.

Meanwhile, the mainstream media have apparently made no
attempt since World War II to either verify or disprove the
allegations of Nazi collaboration against the Bush family.
Instead, they have attempted to dismiss or discredit such
Internet sites or "unauthorized" books without any journalistic
inquiry or research into their veracity.

Loyal Defenders
The National Review ran an essay on September 1 by their
White House correspondent Byron York, entitled "Annals of
Bush-Hating." It begins mockingly: "Are you aware of the
murderous history of George W. Bush - indeed, of the
entire Bush family? Are you aware of the president's Nazi
sympathies? His crimes against humanity? And do you know,
by the way, that George W. Bush is a certifiable moron?"
York goes on to discredit the "Bush is a moron" IQ hoax,
but fails to disprove the Nazi connection.

The more liberal Boston Globe ran a column September 29
by Reason magazine's Cathy Young in which she referred
to "Bush-o-phobes on the Internet" who "repeat preposterous
claims about the Bush family's alleged Nazi connections."

Poles Tackle the Topic
Newsweek Polska, the magazine's Polish edition, published
a short piece on the "Bush Nazi past" in its March 5, 2003
edition. The item reported that "the Bush family reaped
rewards from the forced-labor prisoners in the Auschwitz
concentration camp," according to a copyrighted
English-language translation from Scoop Media

(http://www.scoop.co.nz).
The story also reported the seizure of the various
Bush-Harriman-Thyssen businesses.


Aftermath
In 1952, Prescott Bush was elected to the U.S. Senate,
with no press accounts about his well-concealed Nazi past.
There is no record of any U.S. press coverage of the
Bush-Nazi connection during any political campaigns
conducted by George Herbert Walker Bush, Jeb Bush,
or George W. Bush, with the exception of a brief mention
in an unrelated story in the Sarasota Herald Tribune in
November 2000 and a brief but inaccurate account in
The Boston Globe in 2001.

Under his leadership, the National Democratic party (NPD) made a string of impressive showings in regional elections in the late 60s, and there were widespread fears that it would gain representation in the federal parliament. Yet, according to a report earlier this year in the Cologne daily, the Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger, the man dubbed "the New Führer" was working for British intelligence throughout the four years he led the NPD, from 1967 to 1971.
