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.
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."
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.
One of the firms that Dr. Scheid cited as an example of a company that had been particularly useful to Germany was the Hamburg-Amerika Line. As discussed in FTR#’s 273, 346, the Hamburg-Amerika Line was part of the Bush family’s business operations on behalf of the Third Reich. Note also that the Krupp firm is now part of Thyssen-Krupp, under the control of the Thyssen-Bornemisza family and based in Lugano Switzerland. (For more about this, see FTR#’s 370, 435.

It is shocking also when we realize that German Nazi death camp guards wore this emblem of Skull and Bones on the shoulders of their uniforms. Once again, we have vivid linkage between Hitler's Society and Skull and Bones Society.

Siege Heil: The Bush-Rove-Schwarzenegger Nazi Nexus and the Destabilization of California
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."
I am totally amused at the kind of claptrap that people will dig up to discredit Bush. When we search for dirt on others we are showing our insecurities. Kitty Kelly is a vampire two inches away from National Enquirer, I watched the interview with her on TV the woman was getting high on her little "discoveries".
Wouldn't it be nice if we could motivate why someone should be elected rather than whats so terrible about him? But I guess people find nothing good in either Bush or Kerry.

I think this whole schadenfreude aspect is reflective of the society we live in. he who has no sins throw the first stone.

I was also thinking it might be a better idea when electing a President that each party have to put at least two candidates on the ballot paper. The fact that its a political caucus selecting the candidate makes the process really scary. Its like asking sharks to choose the most vicious shark. Both Democrats and republican voters believe they choose the President. They don't The Democartic Party Caucus and the Republican party Cuacus choose the candidate that they don't consider best, but which they consider most likely to win.
I would prefer to vote for the Dalai Lama, but he isn't american.

This claptrap was released in the national archives last year and not one media outlet chose to investigate it or bring it to public attention, Prescott Bush (a US senator at the time) was using slave labor from concentration camps in his mines thanks to his nazi buisness connections, all while his country was fighting the monsters he was working with, not to mention before the US or the world knew concentration death camps even existed. I find it more relevent than your average election-time political dirt.
