Bush family history shows a dark past unseen by most

By DOUGLAS YATES

Few would argue that trust, like democracy, is earned and not inherited. So how is it that we've missed the lessons of four generations of Bush family history?
As Kevin Phillips recounts in "American Dynasty," the Bush family presents a record of war profiteers who use public office to gain wealth and advantage. Along the way, Bush family business cronies receive political access and legitimacy.

One of the most venal characters is Prescott Bush, the president's grandfather.

In 1942, Congress seized the assets of Prescott Bush and charged him with trading with the enemy. Bush and his father-in-law, George Herbert Walker, were managing directors of the Union Banking Corp. of New York City. Allied with Brown Brothers Harriman, the largest private investment bank in the world, Bush and Walker were front men for Nazi industrialist Fritz Thyssen.

Thyssen, whose empire was founded on coal and steel, financed the rise of Adolf Hitler. Then as now, cloaking funds destined for subversion of democracies or weapons shipment was a useful tactic. To hide transactions and conceal ownership, Thyssen created a banking network. The first node was established in Berlin, a second in neutral Holland. UBC in New York was the linchpin.

Little more than a money-laundering office for Nazi operations in the United States, Bush, Walker and other confederates oversaw almost a dozen separate businesses. Acting with Thyssen's money, they aided the Nazi invasion of Europe by supplying resources for weaponry. In 1937, Bush set up a deal to help the Luftwaffe obtain tetraethyl lead to boost aircraft performance.

1. A) This is old news and B) What does this have to do with GW Bush?

Look folks, the slime politics haven't worked thus far for us, I don't know why anyone thinks breaking one more already known story about Bush is going to suddenly connect with the voters.

Especially one this weak. It doesn't even have anything to do with the candidate himself! What next, breaking news about how Bush's great-great-great-great-great-great granddady owned slaves, or persecuted the Puritans in England?

Let's get back on the issues.

2. I tell you what,

5. They're assigning them these day?

Who knew?

[BrotherBuzz]

7. Yep, assigning

It appears that they are all hat and no cattle when it comes to doing their duty. Remember these are the same people that support a war as long as they don't have to waste their beautiful minds on something like actually fighting it. Chickenhawks, through and through.

9. I was thinking he'd buy the farm yesterday!

Great work! You've found a way to "smoke 'em out!"

Great information in the article, by the way, and WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE MEDIA? Why are they pretending this material has never appeared?
What do they do all day, anyway? It surely isn't JOURNALISM.

11. Dontcha spoze that should be "Liberal til I'm tombstoned"?

[RedEarth]

8. looks like you died......sorrry

freeper

10. Au contraire...

... villifying the reputation of Kerry is the only hand the Republicans can play. And they have played it well. You think Americans vote on the issues? Where the fuck have you been? If Americans voted on the issues and studied the positions of the candidates, George W. Bush would have never been elected in the first place. Everything he claims to have accomplished in Texas is a bald-faced lie, and his entire life has been a series of failures covered up and bailed out.

Get a clue.

12. This information ALWAYS draws out the Freeper types!

They hate the facts! These are the facts that the public needs to see! Truth scares the HELL out of the Reich Wingers! It's like spraying raid on a cockroach!
