Bush family friend, Farrish, indicted for TREASON

In leading into the previously mentioned section about the indictment of Farrish for treason, Higham notes:
"Immediately after Pearl Harbor, Harold Ickes, Secretary of the Interior, and Petroleum Administrator and Coordinator for national Defense and War, began to close in on Farrish because of his dealings with Nazi Germany." (Higham 38-42).
What did Prescott do when he then learned his business associate was a traitor? Did he immediately denounce him? On the contrary "The Bushes...stuck with the Farrishes through their disastrous exposure during WW2 ." (Tarpley and Chaitkin 77).
Not only this: the Bushs have maintained friendly relations with the Farrishs ever since, as Pete Brewton notes. Brewton also tells us that between l980 and l985 Neil Strauss who is related to Robert Strauss, the U.S. Ambassador to Moscow, "participated in a noteworthy land purchase. They bought a 21,185 acre ranch northwest of Houston. ..from the family of the late Nicaraguan dictator Anastasio Somoza Debayle. Somoza's family, consisting of his nephews and cousins, purchased the ranch in September, l977 from William Stamps Farrish III. Farrish, the grandson of a founder of Exxon, is one of George Bush's friends and has handled Bush's blind trust investments. . . Every autumn, Bush visits Ferret's ranch near Beeville in South Texas to hunt quail." (Brewton 354). It's bizarre that the words blind trust, even in the banking sense, should be applied to that relationship. Perhaps the Third is a friend, but the First was definitely an enemy, in effect, of George Bush, just in terms of day to day combat-related activity in WW2! (See "Get Mad, George!" in the present book for more on these questionable friendships.) What are we to say of the patriotism of these men? Certainly, Prescott and his friends made some money off the Second World War. Their boss, Mr. Rockefeller, also wrote a letter to Nazi Germany in 1939 that renewed its agreements with the Nazis andwhich made it clear that the Rockefellers' company was prepared to work with the Nazis whether their own government was at war with the Third Reich or not. (Loftus and Aarons 63-7).
