Bush Ancestor's Bank Seized by Gov't
12 minutes ago Add U.S. National - AP to My Yahoo!


By JONATHAN D. SALANT, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - President Bush (news - web sites)'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.

7. I knew this. But isn't there something more . . . some patent . . . ?
I caught it in passing somewhere, there was a patent for some manufacturing gizmo that Prescott Bush made available to the 3rd Reich in a rigged bidding situation. I think the patent was for something that was useful in the industrial base that the 3rd Reich built the war on.

Does anyone know more about this?

but I believe it may have been standard oil or one of the other maufacturers that worked with the Bush-Nazi project. Maybe Dresser?

Tarpley.net may have it


Here's a link.

Find "Farish" and "Patent" in the top window. A Farish holds the Bush trust today and it is stocked with the Nazi profits from killing Jews and their (BFEE) political opponents


Google "Farish" Bush and Nazis for the whole story.

49. Yes, that was William Stamps Farish Sr.
Edited on Fri Oct-17-03 10:01 PM by starroute
A few months ago, I went digging and found out a lot about the Farish family -- none of it reassuring.

In 1942, Farish was the president of Standard Oil of New Jersey, which had not only continued doing business with Germany after the entry of the U.S. into World War II, but had also provided certain patents for artificial rubber to the Nazis while hiding them from the U.S. government.

Farish's wife was connected with several prominent Houston families -- her mother was a Botts (as in Baker and Botts) and her father was a Rice (as in Rice University.) The Farishes' son married the daughter of General Robert E. Wood, a leading old-line right-winger of the 1940's and 1950's, and their daughter married into the Harriman family.

There were multiple business and personal ties between Farish and the Bushes, involving first Dresser Industries (of which Prescott Bush was president), which sold drill bits to Standard Oil, and then the Harriman connection

Farish's grandson, William Stamps Farish III, is currently married to a DuPont heiress, great-niece of the DuPonts who tried to overthrow FDR in 1934. He is one of George H.W. Bush's closest friends and is the current U.S. ambassador to Great Britain. He's extremely rich and extraordinarily secretive and has been so nearly invisible as ambassador that the British are wondering what he's doing there at all.

8. Holy Shit Sherlock
This was published in the Federal Register in 1942.

This news was in the Boston Globe last year

This news was in the NYPOST last year.

John Loftus wrote about it in 1994 in his book "The Secret War..."

Prescott BUSH was a DIRECTOR of this Nazi bank seized by the federal government in violation of the Trading With the Enemy Act in a time of war. This bank financed the Nazi military machine which killed US soldiers.

Michael Moore is writing about in in his new book.

Tarpley included it in his unauthroized Bush biography in 1992.

Kitty Keely is writing about it in her new Bush book.

Three of the Directors were Skull and Bones members. Another was a Yalie. The other three directors were Nazis.

Thyssen hid his nazi investments in Switzerland.

The Bushes recieved over a million dollars after the Holocaust for their investments in it.

And yet AP is just writing about this NOW??? (Wife says it is the Michael Moore book coming out)

And why is it not TREASON???

And why do people not care if the President's financial fortune came from the Nazis and the Bin Ladens???

12. And to think Perle and Wolfowitz have been
in the same pot with the Bushes.

They are traitors to those who perished in the gas chambers
at Hitler's command, whom the Bush and Harriman families financed
to build his empire of terror.

And here we have gone full circle.

22. Yeh. And here's some names for you.
Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. — Killed in Action over England while on a secret mission to bomb the NAZI V-2 sites.

John F. Kennedy — Wounded in Action in the South Pacific when his PT-boat was rammed while on a night patrol.

Robert F. Kennedy — Served as an enlisted man in the United States Navy in World War 2.

Ted was too young to volunteer. So he enlisted in the US Army after getting kicked out of Harvard in the 1950s.

Yes. I know what you're getting at, DemsUnite. Joe Sr. was a Wall Street banker and our Ambassador to England. He did NOT want to fight World War 2. The reason was he remembered what happened in World War 1. Millions dead for no good reason, just to keep the Kaiser and King happy.

FYI for the BFEE: FUCK THE KING! FUCK THE KAISER! AND FUCK YOU, BUSH!

25. thanks!
Too many scary things going on right now. I cannot elaborate unfortunately. However, I can say too many damn similarities IMO to those years.

We are talking about NOW. What is going on right NOW in this country! People of Middle Eastern descent are being held in detention. Is there more to it than this I ask.

I don't care what Joseph Kennedy did. I do not believe he was a Nazi in any respect.

Bill O'Reilly

Sean Hannity

Mike Savage

Anne Coulter

Oliver North

etc. etc, etc...

If anybody starts paying attention to this, the GOP will be quick to remind us that those evil liberal Kennedys are just as complicit.

They'll also throw in the fact that George H.W. Bush fought (and was "heroically" shot down) as a WWII fighter pilot.

41. DU Friend DemsUnite, those people are all liars!
Sure, the propaganda masters will do all they can to spin their deceit into a web of crap. We just need to stand up to it and cut it down by refuting whatever they say with the Truth.

What happens to NAZIs? They have to hide in South America and North America and pretend to be someone they never were.

What happens to KKK members? They wear hoods to hide their identities because if people knew who there were they'd be shamed out of town.

What happens to Mafia initiates? They swear to keep their mouths shut because if they squeal their whole network can go down.

What happens to religious charlatans? Pat "Korean War Chicken" Robertson, Jerry "9-11 Was Their Fault" Falwell and their errand boy Ralph Reed pretend to be pious because their satanic souls shine through when they stand in the light of day.

Where do oligarchs and eugenecists do? They make friends with fascists and communists alike to enslave the planet and destroy the excess population, just like British royalty has done for centuries.

So where do the members of these seemingly disparate organizations go for succor? Today's GOP.

47. Prescott Bush's Senate Seat
The story of how Prescott Bush got his senate seat is kinda interesting. I read about it for about 30 minutes a few months ago.

The Senator that came b-4 Prescoot was some Irish Dude (father of nuclear policy in the USA?? Bredon McMahon or something) suddenly got a virulent form of cancer, dies about 1/2 way into his term, and Prescott gets his seat.

Another lucky break for the Bush Family.

Prescott got his senate seat in the 1950s after McMahon died of cancer. Prescott rode into office on Ike's coattails. Ike and Prescott played alot of golf.

Nixon owed his start in politics to Prescott the Elder.

Not to be confused with Prescott who is Poppy's brother and head of the US-China Chamber of Commerce.

36. Rovian Talking Point.
Millions of Americans owned shares in companies like IBM, Ford, Standard Oil/Esso and General Motors who had Nazi deals and operated in Germany and Nazi occupied areas.

Kennedy , like millions of Americans, had investments in Germany.

But there is a HUGE difference between what Kennedy did and what the Bushes Walkers and Harrimans (the Groton/Andover/Yale skull and bones crew) did: They were the Directors of a NAZI BANK which arranged the FINANCING FOR HITLER AND THE THIRD REICH AND THEIR MILITARY MACHINE!!!

Kennedy was NOT prosecuted for his investments. Nor were his companies and financial institutions seized for trading with the enemy in a time of war as enemy assets and agents.

The BUSHES were.

No valid comparison.

Nice try Karlians. (not directed at you personally, Demsunite - but this IS a BFEE talking point. I would not repeat it)

54. Was he bankrolling the Nazis for 10 months after war was declared?
I doubt Prescott would ever have stopped if he had not been forced to. My Dad was fighting for his life against the Nazis while this traitor was bankrolling the Nazi war machine...helping to build the tanks and armaments that were killing US soldiers. Then he went on to bankroll the construction of Auschwitz to accomodate slave labor from Russia.

At first, I thought this story was an indicator for Mrs. Wesley Clark to starting choosing china patterns, now I'm not so sure.

Edited on Fri Oct-17-03 08:24 PM by rocknation
This is what's so great about being a evil DU-er--you're MONTHS ahead of the loop on such things!

But I doubt this story would be appearing even now if Bush hadn't insulted the mainstream media by announcing he would start interviewing with regional broadcasters. He said he wanted to get past "the media filter" which wasn't reporting enough of the "positive" aspects of his Iraqi occupation. (Of course, if he figures that regional reporters would be too inexperienced or unworldly to ask him tough questions, he insulted them as well.) Getting rid of Bush would be a lot easier with the mainstream media's help. Maybe that can happen now.

39. The Documentation is new.
Edited on Fri Oct-17-03 09:07 PM by lfairban
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.


and at the end:

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

46. Exactly so!! MUST READ:
The problem for Bush and his clan is a ring of keys in a special drawer at Langley that can be broken out whenever the agency needs to put the screws in someone. The keys don't open a special torture chamber or weapons cache – the keys open closets. As I am writing this, a tallish man with a buzz cut – his name is Steve, but his friends call him Stevo – is opening that drawer and selecting a few keys off of that key ring. What closets these keys might open is a mystery, but one thing is for certain. What has kept the Bush family on top for this long is their ability to lock skeletons in closets and keep the closets locked forever. Until recently, this ability was rooted in no small part in the family's excellent relationship with the CIA, a relationship that is now only a distant, sordid memory. Soon, and very soon, some of those closets are going to come springing open.

Most of what is in the closets will come as no great surprise, since a great deal of the information is, if not well-known, at least available if one knows where to look. What will come as a surprise to many is how big the stories seem all of a sudden, now that the CIA has given its favorite reporters the go-ahead to start writing about the dark innuendo and damaging rumors that have been lurking in the shadows since George W. Bush declared his improbable and foolhardy intention to seek the office of President of the United States, despite an extremely checkered background.

Prescient or is just wishful thinking? We'll be watching. :evilgrin:

57. They have to see all avenues!!!
Not only do they need to unlock the closets but they need
to reach where it really hurts.....
Their wallets.....
Poppy invests in gold mines, swiss banks, pharmeceuticles, oil,
weapons and religion and illeagal drugs........

And Kennyboy still sits in his lap dictating policy......

Certainly other avenues as well can be mastered.

44. How the Bush Family Wealth is Linked to the Jewish Holocaust (bombshell!!)


How the Bush Family Wealth is Linked to the Jewish Holocaust
<http://globalresearch.ca/articles/ROG309A.html>

Excerpt:

"But while President Bush publicly embraced the community of holocaust survivors in Washington last spring, he and his family have been keeping a secret from them for over 50 years about Prescott Bush, the president's grandfather. According to classified documents from Dutch intelligence and US government archives, President George W. Bush's grandfather, Prescott Bush made considerable profits off Auschwitz slave labor. In fact, President Bush himself is an heir to these profits from the holocaust which were placed in a blind trust in 1980 by his father, former president George Herbert Walker Bush.

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.

The US government had known that many American companies were aiding Hitler, like Standard Oil, General Motors and Chase Bank, all of which was sanctioned after Pearl Harbor. But as The New York Times reporter Charles Higham later discovered, and published in his 1983 groundbreaking book, Trading With The Enemy; The Nazi American Money Plot 1933-1949, 'the government smothered everything during and even after the war.' Why?

According to Higham, the US government believed 'a public scandal ... would have drastically affected public morale, caused widespread strikes and perhaps provoked mutinies in the armed services.' Higham claims the government thought 'their trial and imprisonment would have made it impossible for the corporate boards to help the American war effort.'

However, Prescott Bush's banks were not just financing Hitler as previously reported. In fact, there was a distinct business link much deeper than Mr. Higham or Mr. Loftus knew at the time their books were published.

A classified Dutch intelligence file which was leaked by a courageous Dutch intelligence officer, along with newly surfaced information from U.S. government archives, 'confirms absolutely,' John Loftus says, the direct links between Bush, Thyssen and genocide profits from Auschwitz."


This article is dynamite, and there is quite a bit more information floating around the Net.

60. Do you think that in some sort of sick way Poppy wants....
to be caught and relieved from all this misery?

Do you think that the fact he has never been caught for
all the crimes he has committed has disappointed him in his life
time?

Isn't it typical for psychopaths to have the urge and desire
to be caught and found?

Geeee....He has a big family and this could carry KARMA for
many generations.

53. No evidence Bush directly aided that effort?? There is plenty of
evidence. And the important stuff is that he continued to bankroll the military industrialist AFTER war was declared and apperently ONLY stopped because he was caught and forced to stop.

Notice how they pretend Fritz did it for the noble reason of fighting the dreaded scam communism. It should be interesting how the Freepers will spin their insistance that Hitler was a Socialist with this fight against the early century boogieman-for-profits Communism.

Heir to the Holocaust

The Bush Family and the Jews

How the Bush Family made its fortune from the Nazis


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


Heir to the Holocaust


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.


The business connections between Prescott Bush and Fritz Thyssen were more direct than what has been previously written. This new information reveals how Prescott Bush and UBC, which he managed directly, profited from the Holocaust. A case can be made that the inheritors of the Prescott Bush estate could be sued by survivors of the Holocaust and slave labor communities. To understand the complete picture of how Prescott Bush profited from the Holocaust, it is necessary to return to the year 1916, where it all began.

59. Thank you Al Gore for the Internet!
It's bubbling up! Everything that WE've known already, these last few miserable years, everything we've been posting about, educating each other about, eventually becomes common knowledge and bubbles up, until it's finally reported by the mainstream. This is a HUGE vindication. When I've tried to tell friends about this they've had a hard time believing it. A dam has broken today. I can't believe I'm seeing this on mainstream news.

Who has the jpeg of that newsclip from the paper at the time about the bank being seized under the Trading with the Enemies Act?

it's dropped to 3.9.

I'm sure that many don't want this on the front pages of Yahoo news subscriptions.

Go back and rate it if you haven't!

63. in 1951, prescott sold his one share for $1.5 Million (link)
according to John Loftus in this article....and it was put into an account for shrub's inheritance by his father....

http://www.clamormagazine.org/bush.pdf

isn't it time that the shrub payed reparations for his inheritance??...%1.5 Million with interest since 1951 is quite a lot of money....

shrub should pay back his illegal/immoral inheritance...lots of others have been forced to do that, why not the shrub????

64. This will probably be an unpopular opinion,
but this has very little to do with W. I think his record should stand or fall on its own.

79. It actually has a lot to do with W
See what I posted above (#49) about William Stamps Farish, Sr. and William Stamps Farish III for one example of a direct relationship.

The same elite families with the same elite connections (e.g., Skull and Bones) and the same elite agenda have been at this all through the 20th century and now into the 21st.

A major component of that agenda is a racial element. Not to get too tinfoil-y about it, but as nearly as I can tell these people are obsessed with the notion that holding onto their own power requires maintaining the dominance of the "white race" in a world where pinkish-beige people form an increasingly small minority.

Today, they're most scared of the Arabs, because they're sitting on top of the bulk of the world's shrinking oil reserves, but the Chinese are already being lined up as an even more credible and well-organized antagonist. So at the current moment, we're seeing an army of poor Hispanics and poor blacks and poor rednecks sent off to the Middle East to conquer a bunch of poor brown people because the inbred white masters of the world are afraid of having their power challenged by an overwhelming mass of extremely intelligent and productive yellow people.

(And meanwhile, stories float around on the Net about microbiologists in their basement laboratories brewing up designer germs to target only people of certain "racial" groupings. Are those merely urban legends, or are we going to see them confirmed as spectacularly as these Bush-Nazi connections?)

Excuse me for going off on a rant like this -- but I'm growing increasingly convinced that we delude ourselves if we think that people like the BFEE believe in the same consensus reality as the rest of us and are merely acting out of self-interest. If we want to understand what is going on in the world today, we have to bring to light their real belief system, in all its nutty glory. What happened in the 1930s and 1940s is a vital key to that belief system, because many aspects of it were stated openly then that have been concealed and disguised ever since. That is why exposes of W's grandfather are significant -- not because W may or may not be tainted by things that happened before he was born, but because the underlying attitudes live on.

65. Can someone connect the Bush Her Nuclear plant in Iran with Poppy.
I do believe this needs to be well researched and
publicized as well.

The public need to know what is at hand and the real reason
Bush wants Sharon to bomb this plant.

Freepers post it and lie about it then blame it on Clinton for releasing it.

THANK GOD they released it finally.

Clinto should have released this in 2000.

I tried to get the Gore campaign on this and his HANDLERS WOULD NOT EVEN TELL HIM!!!!

That is when I began to believe the Gore campaign was infiltrated and the dems were infiltrated by the BFEE.. And why NOT??? We fall for people like Clark and Kerry SOOOOO easily.

76. Typical Repug hypocrisy
For conservatives to say that granpa Bush's history has nothing to do with Dumbya is totally hypocritical. It's funny that Repugs will claim that family is their biggest priority. That traditions, passed down from generation to generations, are an important aspect of what makes a great conservative family. BUT when there's something *really* negative about a family member, they suddenly say that the bad apple had NO influence on any future generations. Sure! You can't have both.
