Bush family friend, Farrish, indicted for TREASON
Bush family friend, Farrish, indicted for TREASON


http://www.aristotle.net/~mstandridge/cpbush.htm

excerpt -

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).

1. Senate chamber on March 28, l941 - "treason?"

<snip>

"At last (Ickes) found an ally who had the courage to confront {Standard Oil} in Washington: Thurman Arnold. . .Standard underwent a process of law in the criminal courts of Newark, New Jersey. This was a technicality to satisfy public opinion (at first). The charges of criminal conspiracy with the enemy were dropped in return for Standard releasing its patents and paying the modest fines (of $l0,000-20,000). . .On March 26, l941, Arnold appeared before the Truman Committee (in Congress) . . .in order to lay in front of the committee his specific charges against the oil company. . .He showed how Farrish had flagrantly disregarded Lend-Lease and good neighbor policies in his connivance with Hitler. He zeroed in on the subject of synthetic rubber, pointing out that it had been denied to the U.S. Navy, and that Farrish. . .had deliberately sidetracked a Navy representative from seeing the process. He charged that cables showed Standard's arrangements with Japan that were to continue throughout any conflict or break in trade {emphasis added}. Leaving the Senate chamber on March 28, l941, surrounded by lots of reporters and photographers, Truman was asked, 'Is this treason?' He replied in the affirmative." (Higham, Trading 42-53).

Russell Bowen notes, in The Immaculate Deception :

"While Democratic candidate Michael Dukakis spent most of the l988 Presidential campaign trying to dodge the liberal label, George Bush and the RNC have carefully rejected any discussion of the 'Nazi word' through three consecutive Presidential campaigns. This is not at all surprising in light of the fact that Bush's closest friend and confidante is Texas mystery man William Stamps Farrish III, inheritor of the Auschwitz death camp fortune. . .Farrish's family fortune was made in the same Nazi enterprise with George Bush's father. . .The joint enterprise had opened the Auschwitz slave labor camp on June l4, l940, to produce artificial rubber and gasoline from coal. Jews and political opponents supplied by Hitler as slaves were worked to death or murdered. . .In fact, Standard Oil's dealing with Hitler continued right up to the end of World War II (emphasis added)." (Bowen 2-4).

2. more excerpts -
Higham goes on to describe a man whose grandson was to become George Bush's closest associate after the war:

"William Stamps Farrish, like Teagle, was mesmerized by Germany and spent much time with Hermann Schmitz. With Teagle's approval, he staffed the Standard Oil tankers with Nazi crews. When war broke out in Europe, he ran into trouble with British Intelligence, which boarded some of his vessels outside U.S territorial waters on the Atlantic and Pacific seaboards and seized Nazi agents who were passengers. . .When the British began interrogating Nazi crews on the Hitler-Standard connection, Farish fired the Germans and changed the registry of the entire fleet to Panamanian to avoid British search and seizure. His vessels carried oil to Tenerife in the Canary Islands, where they refueled and siphoned oil to German tankers for shipment to Hamburg. They also fueled U-boats even after the American government. . . was fighting an undeclared war in the Atlantic. . .Standard tankers supplied the (German) submarines which. . . sank American ships. . ." (Higham, Trading 35-6).

"By l939, Americans were dangerously short of rubber. The armed services were hard put to complete wheels for planes, tanks and armored cars. At this time Standard Oil had made a deal with Hitler whereby he would obtain certain kinds of Standard artificial rubber and America would get nothing. . ." (Higham, Trading 36).

Bringing us up to the present day, Russell Bowen tells us in his book about Bush's present-day Fascist links and how Bush continued to refuse to fire Nazis from his political campaign organizations:

"In l988, revelations concerning the pro-Nazi, fascist, and anti-Semitic backgrounds of members of the Bush Presidential campaign led to the resignation or firing of seven high-ranking officials in the ethnic-outreach program. The seven were part of the GOP's recruitment of the most extreme right-wing elements in the Eastern European ethnic communities of the U.S. The party encouraged participation by its ethnic heritage groups council, the fundraising clique by which the seven anti-Semites belonged since at least l949. In fact, a RNC internal memorandum shows that George Bush, while GOP national chairman in l973, had full knowledge of, and, in the words of the memo, provided "total support" for the party's ethnic outreach Heritage Groups.

"The charges against several of the fund-raisers were not new: On November 21, l971, the eve of the Watergate break-in, the Washington Post exposed Richard Nixon's Heritage Groups, two years before Bush became Chairman of the Republican National Committee. . .Bush has repeatedly expressed ignorance of the pro-Nazi backgrounds of these groups. Two of the individuals fired were also key figures in the Post revelations of 21 years before. The top level memorandum, was written by Heritage Groups Director Col. Jay Niemczyk, to the then RNC co-chairman Robert Carter as praising Bush's leadership of the ethnic recruitment effort as having added 'needed strength and impetus' to the Republicans' exploitation of transplanted Nazi collaborators and war criminals. Two of the campaign staffers fired in l988 were also key figures in revelations by the Post l7 years before. Philip Guarino. . .was charged with being a member of the Italian fascist group known as P-2. Laszlo Pastor, admitted having been a member of the Hungarian Fascist party the Arrow Cross, and having been an Arrow-Cross envoy to Nazi Germany during WW2 ." (Bowen 2-4).

3. William Stamps Farrish...
http://www.davidicke.com/icke/headlines/headlinesnov2001-2.shtml

long time Bush-Windsor associate
with a very interesting family history
(see And The Truth Shall Set You Free).


FATHER GEORGE'S CRONIES EVERYWHERE: MEET BUSH FAMILY FUNDER AND VERY CLOSE ASSOCIATE, WILLIAM S. FARRISH, BOY GEORGE'S AMBASSADOR TO BRITAIN AT THIS TIME OF THE US-UK "WAR ON TERRORISM"

FUNNY HOW THE OFFICIAL PROFILE DOESN'T INCLUDE THE VERY RELEVANT FACT THAT HIS GRANDFATHER, ALSO WILLIAM FARRISH, SUPPLIED THE NAZIS WITH FUEL DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR WHILE HEAD OF STANDARD OIL, NEW JERSEY.

(OH YES AND THE FARRISHS ARE LONG-TIME BEST PALS OF THE WINDSORS)
