History of the Bushes....... Is It Illegal Gain And Politics ??

I was just surfing the internet tonight and came across this "site". It's amazing how the Bush men were able to get away with so much illegal activity, starting with Prescott Bush.

I have found "other" sites that I will add to this thread as I go.






SEVENTEEN PARAGRAPHS into a story on Bush's retention of CIA director George Tenet, the NY Times quietly drops a bombshell, "Meanwhile, Gen. Colin L. Powell, Mr. Bush's choice to be secretary of state, has selected Richard Armitage, his close friend and a former Pentagon official, to be the deputy secretary, two Republicans close to the Bush transition team said. Mr. Armitage was initially a front-runner for deputy at the Defense Department, and resisted entreaties to work for General Powell, fearing it might interfere with their friendship. But the general has prevailed upon Mr. Armitage to join him at the State Department, associates said."

Meanwhile, indeed. Nothing - not even Ashcroft - raises so many warning flags about the intentions of the Bush administration than does the resurrection of this veteran of some of the sleaziest and most corrupt periods of American foreign policy, including the CIA-drug trade love fest in SE Asia and the Iran-Contra scandal. If we had a press and a Democratic Party worthy of their names, the Armitage appointment would be major news. Here, for starters, are some reasons why:

Interesting to read,....... talk about "shock and awe " .

I wonder if I go search the internet if I would find such "damning" information about the man I voted for this election,.... yes us Iowans can cast our votes starting last Friday.
I will do a search on John Kerry's back round just as I have on George Bush, just to make it fair,....................... but I DOUBT that I will find anything that even comes close to the Bush family's history, as far as the MOST sleaziest and most corrupt periods of American foreign policy, including the CIA-drug trade love fest in SE Asia and the Iran-Contra scandal.

If you think this is damning nanna I suggest you lok into how old Joe kennedy made the millions his family used to get into politics.
Bootlegging actually was illiegal at the time.

Boot-legging is nothing compared to the Bush families back round. Prescott Bush "HELPED" Hitler and Hitler considered Prescott's to be one of Hitler"s "angels".
With people like the Bush family we don't need more enemies, they have done enough to the US as it is.

I am not for Bush, but....

Uhhh, Joe Kennedy was friendly toward's Nazism while he was ambassador to the UK. It cost him his job and his political career never recovered after that.

The only good 'Bush's are what's bben planted and baked beans. Relatives of Prescott should all be hung as the Traitors they are/will be.

Geoge the First was the number one criminal at CIA!

I hate to say it, but there is little difference between how Joe Kennedy and Prescott Bush gained influence. Both knew how the game was played and they played it well. Both established enough ties in the business world to gain political clout. And yes, both, in a way, indirectly supported nazism - Joe Kennedy was convinced England was doomed and urged America to not provoke Hitler, while Bush was involved in the Union Banking Corporation, which is alleged to have had dealings with Nazi interests.

Both families, however, had sons in the army - Joe Kennedy Jr. and George H.W. Bush were both pilots in WWII, while John F. Kennedy was a PT boat captain in the Pacific.

And of course, Joe Kennedy probably did some heavy string-pulling to get his son elected President in 1960.

The difference, in my view, is that the Bush family never "tackled the Beast" like the Kennedys did. John and Robert Kennedy went after the mafia (that had probably gotten them elected) and John got killed; Robert went after the Powers that Be regarding Vietnam and got killed.

So that may be a reason the Bushes survived and actually elected a second President - far from turning on the powerful interests behind them, they embraced them.

Not that I am a fan of the Bush's, but you can do a hell of a lot better than a smug, self righteous pr*ck like Palast. His articles are best used at the bottom of bird cages. (no offense to any of our aviarian friends!)

Within the chainsaw-wielding Texas rancher, the blue blood of Connecticut runs deep. But not so many people know that there are a couple of rocks to be turned over in the Bush family history.

Prescott Bush, sometimes described as a progressive Republican senator from Connecticut and often described as the man who looked like he should be president, turns out to have been a creepy front man for industrialists who bankrolled and built the Nazi war machine.

Over the weekend, The Guardian (U.K.) set out in a lengthy story based on files in the National Archives the story of how in the '30s, young Prescott Bush, with the help of his father, got together with Averill Harriman, son of the railroad scion E.H. Harriman, and set up a company called UBC (Union Banking Corporation). Bush was a founder and director and owned one share, valued at $125. As it turned out, UBC was an American shell company for the Thyssen family interests. The Thyssens were a preeminent German business family that dominated the nation's iron and steel and coal businesses and were crucial to bankrolling and building the Nazi war machine. UBC was a shell, owned by a Netherlands bank, with anonymous real owners who, on further inspection, turned out to be the Thyssens.

Young Fritz Thyssen was infatuated with Hitler and joined the Nazi party in 1931. When the Nazis were having a hard time, he bailed them out financially. By the late '30s, along with Harriman's Brown Brothers Harriman, which claimed to be the world's largest investment bank, Bush had bought and shipped millions of dollars of gold, fuel, steel, coal, and U.S. treasury bonds to Germany. In addition, it appears that Bush may have had ties to the Consolidated Silesian Steel Company, which during the war used slave labor from the Nazis' concentration camps. He might also have been involved through the Thyssens in another company that was linked to the chemical giant I.G. Farben, which used slave labor.

There was nothing illegal or even unusual about doing business with the Germans in the '30s before war broke out; numerous American companies had holdings in Germany during that era. The issue with Prescott Bush is whether he had actually owned shares in the Thyssen enterprise or was just holding them in a shell for the German owners. U.S. investigations never answered the question, and no one ever brought any charges.

John Loftus, a former U.S. attorney who prosecuted Nazi war criminals in the '70s, is working on a novel that relates to some of the material he found about the Bushes. He told The Guardian, "You can't blame Bush for what his grandfather did any more than you can blame Jack Kennedy for what his father did�bought Nazi stocks�but what is important is the cover-up, how it could have gone on so successfully for half a century, and does that have implications for us today? This was the mechanism by which Hitler was funded to come to power, this was the mechanism by which the Third Reich's defense industry was re-armed, this was the mechanism by which Nazi profits were repatriated back to the American owners, this was the mechanism by which investigations into the financial laundering of the Third Reich were blunted."

Loftus, who is vice chairman of a Holocaust museum in Saint Petersburg, Florida, added, "The Union Banking Corporation was a holding company for the Nazis, for Fritz Thyssen. At various times, the Bush family has tried to spin it, saying they were owned by a Dutch bank and it wasn't until the Nazis took over Holland that they realized that now the Nazis controlled the apparent company and that is why the Bush supporters claim when the war was over they got their money back. Both the American treasury investigations and the intelligence investigations in Europe completely belie that, it's absolute horse#. They always knew who the ultimate beneficiaries were."

Here's an interesting "site", that also leads to other "sites" about the Bush Families.

This one is about good ol Neil Bush and his dinner plans with Scott Hinckley, "John Hinckley's" brother, the day AFTER the attempted assassination of President Reagan.

Really "good" Christians the Bush families are, LMAO .



Neil Bush, son of the then vice president of the United States, was scheduled to have dinner on March 31, 1981, with Scott Hinckley, brother of John Hinckley, the day after a bullet came within an inch of making Neil Bush's father the new president of the United States.
Even though John Chancellor had let slip out this most remarkable assassination coincidence shortly after John Hinckley tried to kill President Reagan, it was censored by NBC News and the other organs of the national news media during the subsequent 10 years. And even in the several months of extensive coverage of Neil Bush's part in the massive savings and loan fraud, no mention was made of his role in the continuing coverup of the most significant story in the 1980s.
