1. If you count the Native American tribal governments

(such as they were - they were all organized very differently) the number skyrockets.

“Bush - Nazi Dealings Continued Until 1951” - Federal Documents

By John Buchanan and Stacey Michael
from The New Hampshire Gazette Vol. 248, No. 3,
November 7, 2003

After the seizures in late 1942 of five U.S. enterprises he managed on behalf of Nazi industrialist Fritz Thyssen, Prescott Bush, the grandfather of President George W. Bush, failed to divest himself of more than a dozen "enemy national" relationships that continued until as late as 1951, newly-discovered U.S. government documents reveal.

And almost half the USA wants to RE-ELECT Bush?

We are in trouble indeed.
Be afraid.

Be VERY afraid.
