"That's where the Bush family fortune came from: It came from the
Third Reich" 
-- U.S. Justice Department’s Nazi War Crimes Prosecutor John Loftus 


The Bush Family – Third Reich Connection 
Fact?  Fabrication? 
by Susie Davidson 
Advocate Correspondent 

Maybe you’ve heard about it.  Maybe it wouldn’t surprise you.  Maybe
you’re just curious. 

But three books, varied newspaper series, court records, convictions
and correspondence attest to a definite link between the Bush family
and the Nazis. 

The Sarasota Herald Tribune, in November 2000, reported the president
of the Florida Holocaust Museum’s statement that George W. Bush's
grandfather derived a portion of his personal fortune through his
affiliation with a Nazi-controlled bank. 

U.S. Justice Department’s Nazi War Crimes Prosecutor John Loftus, who
authored many books on St. Martin’s including "Unholy Trinity: The
Vatican, The Nazis and the Swiss Banks" (1992) and along with Mark
Aarons, "The Secret War Against the Jews: How Western Espionage
Betrayed the Jewish People" (1994) and an upcoming one on Jonathan
Pollard), was also quoted: "That's where the Bush family fortune came
from: It came from the Third Reich."  Dirty dealings are chronicled
in Webster G. Tarpley & Anton Chaitkin’s entirely downloadable
"George Bush: The Unauthorized Biography". 

Here’s the deal, so to speak. 

Prescott Bush, W’s grandfather, was a principal in New York’s Union
Banking Corporation from the late 1930’s-1940’s.  This bank was owned
by key Nazi industrialists, who funneled money into it through
another bank located in Holland.  "Union Banking," says Toby Rogers,
who wrote a five part series last year on Bush-Nazi ties for the
Greenwich Village Gazette series, "became an ‘out and out Nazi
money-laundering machine.’ " 

In 1942, when George Sr. was an 18 year old naval pilot in training,
the U.S. government under FDR ordered Prescott’s banking operations
seized under the Trading With the Enemy Act.  The stocks of three
Nazi executives, Bush and three associates, were vested. 

Nonetheless, when the bank was liquidated in 1951, W’s grandfather
and great-grandfather Sam Bush both received $1.5 million in
proceeds.  This is what is believed made up the bulk, if not all, of
the Bush family fortune.  The powerful partners in these ignoble
ventures are reputedly those who boosted the Bushes into the CIA and
government positions. 

Other actions followed; the U.S. government seized three more Nazi
front organizations run by the bank.  However, they were too late;
Bush’s family had already centrally financed and armed Hitler and the
Nazi war industries. 

The web of secret operations, dirty deals and cronyism detailed in
the above books can be recounted only briefly here.  William Stamps
Farish, president of Standard Oil, later known as Exxon, opened up
the Auschwitz slave labor camp with Chairman Walter C. Teagle (a pal
of Henry Ford) in collaboration with I.G. Farben on June 14, 1940. 
Jews, used to produce artificial rubber and gasoline from coal, were
worked to near death and then murdered. Farish’s grandson, W.S.
Farish III, served as George Bush’s money manager.  Farish later
formed the Humble Oil Co. of Texas. 

Neil Bush, of BSSI fame, was named after Neil Dresser, business
associate of Standard. 

Prescott’s business associates, from his father in law George Herbert
Walker (one of Hitler’s biggest U.S. supporters), Fritz Thyssen ($1M
Hitler financier later convicted in Nuremberg), Averell Harriman
(Mussolini negotiator, supplier of $50M in German bonds to  U.S.
investors), Brown Brothers execs (long involved in slave cotton
trading), Kurt von Schroeder (treasurer of Nazi Party private
armies), John Foster Dulles (international attorney for dozens of
Nazi enterprises and later Republican U.S. Secretary of State,
helping propel Prescott into Senatorhood), reads like a Hitler CEO
board meeting. 

Of course, the Bushes were not alone.  The Rockefellers and Kennedys
also profited from financial dealings with Nazis.  It has always been
all too easy to hide money in multinational funds.  "They behave like
pirates," says Loftus.  "They don’t care about ideology; they care
about money." 

But the Bush Nazi sympathies continued. 

The Washington Jewish Week, on Sept. 8, 1988, condemned several of
George Bush Sr.’s campaign’s Ethnic Advisory Committee members as
"well known anti-Semites and pro-fascists."  Quoted were Henry
Siegman, executive director of the AJC, Albert Vorspan of the Union
of American Hebrews, Michael Miller of the JCRC and Abraham Foxman of
the ADL, who cited Jerome Brentar, who associated with Holocaust
denial groups, Ignatius Billinsky, involved with Nazi apologists,
Florian Galdau, described by Simon Wiesenthal as "the leader of a
Romanian pro-Nazi and anti-Semitic movement in NYC", Philip Guarino,
another known anti-Semite, and Laszlo Pasztor, an official in the
Hugarian government anti-Semitic agency Arrow Cross.  Alan Dershowitz
jumped in. 

Their pressure paid off; eight Nazi sympathizers subsequently
resigned from the Bush committee (four, not surprisingly, were back
working for the party by 1989). 

Another persistent rumor, long circulated around Yale University and
discussed by Ron Rosenbaum in September 1977’s Esquire magazine, is
the presence of Hitler’s silverware among hidden relics of the Skull
and Bones society.  In varied interviews of Bonesmen, this has never
been definitively denied. 

George Upson Waller, a contemporary of George Sr., changed the
subject when asked.  "Someone told me Maureen Dowd wrote an article
about GW Bush’s substance abuse in his youth.  I said I didn’t
realize he had enough substance to abuse." 

A link?  You decide.
