Bush IS Hitler!

REPOSTED FROM KOS

It is good, that Kossacks are finally approaching the truth. In recent days, in diaries like "Don't Tell Me Not To Compare It To Hitler!", "Hitler Was a F**king Piker," "They Aren't Republicans," and "The Hitler Comparison," Kossacks have been exposed to the "undeniable" parallels between the person and policies of Adolf Hitler, and those of George W. Bush.

These diaries have been fine . . . as far as they went. Problem is, they didn't go quite far enough. For the "undeniable" truth is that George W. Bush actually is Adolf Hitler. They are one and the same man.

The shocking facts, below the fold.

blueness's diary :: ::
Yesterday, in one of the "undeniable" diaries, we learned this in the comments from a fellow Kossack:

George Herbert Walker Bush became head of CIA black operations under the Dulles brothers (closely allied to Herbie Walker and the Rockefellers), who controlled the State Department and CIA after World War II. He relocated senior Nazis to South America, funelled their hidden assets to them to finance them into power there, and ran lots of false flag, death squads and other nasthy stuff. His team of assassins included Porter Goss and other infamous black ops guys. He protected the Nazi spy network in Europe, and integrated it into the CIA in the name of anti-Communism.
There were of course no links embedded in this wonderment. But so what--it was on kos! And it got 22 recommends! It must be true!

Of course it's true. But, really, all that's just "piker" stuff. Because what this Kossack neglected to mention is that when George Herbert Walker Bush was down there in South America relocating Nazis, he hooked up with the folks in the sinister Hitler-replication project, brought home some incipient Hitler goo, and then implanted it in his own wife! Yes, on July 6, 1946, Barbara Bush gave birth not to "George W. Bush," but to a clone of Adolf Hitler!

"George W. Bush" is Adolf Hitler!

Clones, as we know, can be expected to display most of the same characteristics as the original. Thus those "undeniable" parallels between Hitler and Bush that so many astute Kossacks have so cleverly detected.

Let's look at some of them here:

Hitler spoke German with a provincial accent. Bush speaks English with a provincial accent.

Hitler wore boots, had a dog, and was a vegetarian. Bush wears boots, has a dog, and has looked at a vegetable.

Hitler detested cigarettes, and did not permit anyone to smoke in his presence. Bush is married to a chain-smoker.

Hitler had a mistress. Bush has a "lump."

Hitler burned down the Reichstag, and blamed it on the Communists. Bush blew up frogs, and blamed it on his brother.

<snip>

no, the author of this piece of satire doesn't address bush's all too real crimes. I still think it's funny as hell, and demonstrates the pitfalls of constructing patterns out of random piece of information.

There's no comparison.

Hitler killed lots of people who weren't muslims.

but that wasn't the point of the post. The point of the post is some people are contorting themselves to compare hitler and bushco, and in some cases, the comparisons are straight out ludicrous.

Hitler actually fought in a war as a young man. We're pretty sure * didn't.

Hitler wrote a book. Uh, * doesn't even read books.

See, no comparison at all.

Edited on Fri Nov-16-07 06:06 PM by Gabi Hayes
that POS reads like some reject from that Fox "Half Hour News Hour," or whatever it was called

really UNfunny garbage

most of Jon Stewart's jabs at dems are funny, even though I don't enjoy them. this isn't funny at all

even Hitler wasn't Hitler for a few years. it took him awhile to settle in, to reach his stride. Bush is doing quite nicely in comparison

just ask all those dead/maimed Iraqis how they'd rate the two alongside each other

13. Joe Conason's much more sensible take. Though not 'funny,' not inane:
Can it happen here? Is it happening here already? That depends, as a recent president might have said, on what the meaning of "it" is.

To Sinclair Lewis, who sardonically titled his 1935 dystopian novel "It Can't Happen Here," "it" plainly meant an American version of the totalitarian dictatorships that had seized power in Germany and Italy. Married at the time to the pioneering reporter Dorothy Thompson, who had been expelled from Berlin by the Nazis a year earlier and quickly became one of America's most outspoken critics of fascism, Lewis was acutely aware of the domestic and foreign threats to American freedom. So often did he and Thompson discuss the crisis in Europe and the implications of Europe's fate for the Depression-wracked United States that, according to his biographer, Mark Schorer, Lewis referred to the entire topic somewhat contemptuously as "it."

If "it" denotes the police state American-style as imagined and satirized by Lewis, complete with concentration camps, martial law, and mass executions of strikers and other dissidents, then "it" hasn't happened here and isn't likely to happen anytime soon.

For contemporary Americans, however, "it" could signify our own more gradual and insidious turn toward authoritarian rule. That is why Lewis's darkly funny but grim fable of an authoritarian coup achieved through a democratic election still resonates today -- along with all the eerie parallels between what he imagined then and what we live with now.

19. I find it quite funny and of course you're wrong
about Hitler taking years to become Hitler. He hit the ground running. Maybe you should actually read a little history. You can always start with Shirer. Hitler assumed power in 1933. By 1935 the Nuremberg Laws had been passed. He also had concentration camps set up by that year, and had taken complete control of the press.

Try actually learning the facts before spouting off. Where people picked up the meme that Hitler was relatively benign for a few years after assuming power is beyond me, but it ain't accurate.

And yes, one can mock bushco and these comparisons without minimizing the great damage he's done. Hell, try watching the Producers some time.

22. eNUFF, already, with your oh-so-tiresome/repetitious, faux-intellectual superiority.
Edited on Fri Nov-16-07 07:24 PM by Gabi Hayes
you've played that card far too often for it to be effective, and it's reminiscent of 'the lady doth protest too much'

let's see...1933 equals 1935, doesn't it? how long had Bush been in office before the USA PATRIOT Act was shoved down our throats? If you knew anything about current history, you wouldn't be speaking so ignorantly about the frightening parallels between the two madmen. try reading USA PATRIOT Act, for starters......read the whole thing before you post here again. please. take your time. then, give us a compare/contrast presentation vis a vis the Enabling Act

http://www.epic.org/privacy/terrorism/hr3162.

what year did you read Shirer? it was one of the first books that had an impact on my 'political' thinking, nascent as it was at the time.

I'll bet I read it long before you did, my patronizing friend, and I'm well aware of the Nuremberg Act

as I'm sure you're aware of this (in your omnisicience):

"I myself was to experience how easily one is taken in by a lying and censored press and radio in a totalitarian state," Shirer wrote. "Though unlike most Germans I had daily access to foreign newspapers . . . and though I listened regularly to the BBC and other foreign broadcasts, my job necessitated the spending of many hours a day in combing the German press, checking the German radio, conferring with Nazi officials and going to party meetings. It was surprising and sometimes consternating to find that notwithstanding the opportunities I had to learn the facts and despite one's inherent distrust of what one learned from Nazi sources, a steady diet over the years of falsifications and distortions made a certain impression on one's mind and often misled it."

Shirer then recounted how, in conversations with his German friends and strangers he would meet in cafes and beer halls, "I would meet with the most outlandish assertions from seemingly educated and intelligent persons. It was obvious they were parroting some piece of nonsense they had heard on the radio or read in the newspapers.


gee....that doesn't sound AT ALL like current-day America, does it? that sort of thing isn't happening here, is it?

and just because you pronounce something amusing does not make it so. leanden, heavy-handed, strained, yes. funny?if you call that funny, there's a job waiting for you on the staff of Two and a Half Men. please take it. maybe it'll keep you busy


let's see......the Joe Conason or Chris Hedges interpretation of recent events....or cali's? I wonder
whose take is more credible.......why don't you write a book on the subject, too? then we can decide for ourselves.
why don't you start right now? again, take your time. take a few years.

24. In terms of his affect on America, Bush is worse.
Bush is merely an ignorant asshole personally, while Hitler was a psychotic murderer. Bush thinks he's God's gift to leadership, and so did Hitler. Bush had Goebbels and Leni Riefenstahl; Hitler had Karl Rove and Fox News. Whoops, I think I have that reversed. Honest mistake.

Bush damaged America severely in too many ways to count. Hitler didn't.

26. HISTORY
President George Herbert Walker Bush was born in 1924, the son of Prescott S. Bush and Dorothy Walker Bush. We will begin the George Bush story about a decade before his birth, on the eve of World War I. We will follow the career of his father, Prescott Bush, through his marriage with Dorothy Walker, on the path to fortune, elegance and power. Prescott Bush entered Yale University in 1913. A native of Columbus, Ohio, Prescott had spent the last five years before college in St. George’s Episcopal preparatory school in Newport, Rhode Island. Prescott Bush’s first college year, 1913, was also the freshman year at Yale for E. Roland ( "Bunny" ) Harriman, whose older brother (Wm.) Averell Harriman had just graduated from Yale. This is the Averell Harriman who went on to fame as the U.S. ambassador to the Soviet Union during World War II, as a governor of New York State, and as a presidential advisor who was greatly responsible for starting the Vietnam War. The Harrimans would become the sponsors of the Bushes, to lift them onto the stage of world history. In the spring of 1916, Prescott Bush and "Bunny" Harriman were chosen for membership in an elite Yale senior-year secret society known as Skull and Bones. This unusually morbid, death-celebrating group helped Wall Street financiers find active young men of "good birth" to form a kind of imitation British aristocracy in America. World War I was then raging in Europe. With the prospect that the U.S.A. would soon join the war, two Skull and Bones "Patriarchs" , Averell Harriman (class of 1913) and Percy A. Rockefeller (class of 1900), paid special attention to Prescott’s class of 1917. They wanted reliable cadres to help them play the Great Game, in the lucrative new imperial era that the war was opening up for London and New York moneycrats. Prescott Bush, by then a close friend of "Bunny" Harriman, and several other Bonesmen from their class of 1917 would later comprise the core partners in Brown Brothers Harriman, the world’s largest private investment bank. World War I did make an immense amount of money for the clan of stock speculators and British bankers who had just taken over U.S. industry. The Harrimans were stars of this new Anglo-American elite. Averell’s father, stock broker E.H. Harriman, had gained control of the Union Pacific Railroad in 1898 with credit arranged by William Rockefeller, Percy’s father, and by Kuhn Loeb & Co.’s British-affiliated private bankers, Otto Kahn, Jacob Schiff and Felix Warburg. William Rockefeller, treasurer of Standard Oil and brother of Standard founder John D. Rockefeller, owned National City Bank (later "Citibank" ) together with Texas-based James Stillman. In return for their backing, E.H. Harriman deposited in City Bank the vast receipts from his railroad lines. When he issued tens of millions of dollars of "watered" (fraudulent) railroad stock, Harriman sold most of the shares through the Kuhn Loeb company. The First World War elevated Prescott Bush and his father, Samuel P. Bush, into the lower ranks of the Eastern Establishment. As war loomed in 1914, National City Bank began reorganizing the U.S. arms industry. Percy A. Rockefeller took direct control of the Remington Arms company, appointing his own man, Samuel F. Pryor, as the new chief executive of Remington. The U.S entered World War I in 1917. In the spring of 1918, Prescott’s father, Samuel P. Bush, became chief of the Ordnance, Small Arms and Ammunition Section of the War Industries Board.

--Gen. Hugh S. Johnson to Major J.H.K. Davis, June 6, 1918, file no. 334.8/168 or 334.8/451 in U.S. National Archives, Suitland, Maryland.


The senior Bush took national responsibility for government assistance to and relations with Remington and other weapons companies. This was an unusual appointment, as Prescott’s father seemed to have no background in munitions. Samuel Bush had been president of the Buckeye Steel Castings Co. in Columbus, Ohio, makers of railcar parts. His entire career had been in the railroad business-- supplying equipment to the Wall Street-owned railroad systems. The War Industries Board was run by Bernard Baruch, a Wall Street speculator with close personal and business ties to old E.H. Harriman. Baruch’s brokerage firm had handled Harriman speculations of all kinds.

-- Bernard M. Baruch, My Own Story (New York: Henry Holt and Co., 1957), pp. 138-39. Baruch related that "our firm did a large business for Mr. Harriman.... In 1906 Harriman had place heavy bets on Charles Evans Hughes in his race for Governor of New York against William Randolph Hearst. After several hundred thousand dollars had been wagered, stopped. Hearing of this, Harriman called ... up. `Didn’t I tell you to bet?’ he demanded. `Now go on.’|"

Walker at length agreed to move to New York. But he kept his father’s summer house in Kennebunkport, Maine. Bert Walker formally organized the W.A. Harriman & Co. private bank in November 1919. Walker became the bank’s president and chief executive; Averell Harriman was chairman and controlling co-owner with his brother Roland ( "Bunny" ), Prescott Bush’s close friend from Yale; and Percy Rockefeller was a director and a founding financial sponsor. In the autumn of 1919, Prescott Bush made the acquaintance of Bert Walker’s daughter Dorothy. They were engaged the following year, and were married in August, 1921.

-- Alden Hatch, Remington Arms: An American History, 1956, copyright by the Remington Arms Co., pp. 224-25.

29. live natives from backward jungle regions were exhibited in special cages
live natives from backward jungle regions were exhibited in special cages
The British connection had paid for Walker summer houses in Santa Barbara, California, and in Maine-- "Walker’s Point" at Kennebunkport. Bert Walker had been sent to England for his prep school and college education. By 1919 Bert Walker had strong ties to the Guaranty Trust Company in New York and to the British-American banking house J.P. Morgan and Co. These Wall Street concerns represented all the important owners of American railroads: the Morgan partners and their associates or cousins in the intermarried Rockefeller, Whitney, Harriman and Vanderbilt families. Bert Walker was known as the midwest’s premier deal-arranger, awarding the investment capital of his international-banker contacts to the many railroads, utilities and other midwestern industries of which he and his St. Louis friends were executives or board members. Walker’s operations were always quiet, or mysterious, whether in local or global affairs. He had long been the "power behind the throne" in the St. Louis Democratic Party, along with his crony, former Missouri Governor David R. Francis. Walker and Francis together had sufficient influence to select the party’s candidates.

See Letter of G.H. Walker to D.R. Francis, March 20, 1905, in the Francis collection of the Missouri Historical Society, St. Louis, Missouri, on the organization of the Republicans and Democrats to run the election of the mayor, a Democrat acceptable to the socially prominent. The next day Walker became the treasurer and Francis the president of this "Committee of 1000." See also George H. Walker obituary, St. Louis Globe-Democrat, June 25, 1953.


Back in 1904, Bert Walker, David Francis, Washington University President Robert Brookings and their banker/broker circle had organized a world’s fair in St. Louis, the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. In line with the old Southern Confederacy family backgrounds of many of these sponsors, the fair featured a "Human Zoo" : live natives from backward jungle regions were exhibited in special cages under the supervision of anthropologist William J. McGee. So Averell Harriman was a natural patron for Bert Walker. Bert shared Averell’s passion for horse breeding and horse racing, and easily accommodated the Harriman family’s related social philosophy. They believed that the horses and racing stables they owned showed the way toward a sharp upgrading of the human stock--just select and mate thoroughbreds, and spurn or eliminate inferior animals. The First World War had brought the little St. Louis oligarchy into the Confederate-slaveowner-oriented administration of President Woodrow Wilson and his advisors, Col. Edward House and Bernard Baruch. Walker’s friend Robert Brookings got into Bernard Baruch’s War Industries Board as director of national Price Fixing (sic). David R. Francis became U.S. ambassador to Russia in 1916. As the Bolshevik Revolution broke out, we find Bert Walker busy appointing people to Francis’s staff in Petrograd.

Letter of Perry Francis to his father, Ambassador David R. Francis, Oct. 15, 1917, Francis collection of the Missouri Historical Society. "... Joe Miller left for San Francisco last Tuesday night, where he will receive orders to continue to Petrograd. I was told by Mildred Kotany that Bert Walker got him his appointment through Breck Long. I didn’t know Joe was after it, or could have helped him myself. He will be good company for you when he gets there...."


Walker at length agreed to move to New York. But he kept his father’s summer house in Kennebunkport, Maine. Bert Walker formally organized the W.A. Harriman & Co. private bank in November 1919. Walker became the bank’s president and chief executive; Averell Harriman was chairman and controlling co-owner with his brother Roland ( "Bunny" ), Prescott Bush’s close friend from Yale; and Percy Rockefeller was a director and a founding financial sponsor. In the autumn of 1919, Prescott Bush made the acquaintance of Bert Walker’s daughter Dorothy. They were engaged the following year, and were married in August, 1921.

35. Before the Auschwitz death camp became a household word
Edited on Fri Nov-16-07 08:21 PM by seemslikeadream
Before the Auschwitz death camp became a household word
Before the Auschwitz death camp became a household word, these British-American-European groups called openly for the elimination of the `` unfit '' by means including force and violence.@s1@s2

Ten months later, in June 1933, Hitler's interior minister Wilhelm Frick spoke to a eugenics meeting in the new Third Reich. Frick called the Germans a `` degenerate '' race, denouncing one-fifth of Germany's parents for producing `` feeble-minded '' and `` defective '' children. The following month, on a commission by Frick, Dr. Ernst Ru@audin wrote the `` Law for the Prevention of Hereditary Diseases in Posterity, '' the sterilization law modeled on previous U.S. statutes in Virginia and other states.

Special courts were soon established for the sterilization of German mental patients, the blind, the deaf and alcoholics. A quarter million people in these categories were sterilized. Ru@audin, Plo@autz and their colleagues trained a whole generation of physicians and psychiatrists--as sterilizers and as killers.

When the war started, the eugenicists, doctors and psychiatrists staffed the new `` T4 '' agency, which planned and supervised the mass killings: first at `` euthanasia centers, '' where the same categories which had first been subject to sterilization were now to be murdered, their brains sent in lots of 200 to experimental psychiatrists; then at slave camps such as Auschwitz; and finally, for Jews and other race victims, at straight extermination camps in Poland, such as Treblinka and Belsen.@s1@s3

In 1933, as what Hitler called his `` New Order '' appeared, John D. Rockefeller, Jr. appointed William S. Farish the chairman of Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey (in 1937 he was made president and chief executive). Farish moved his offices to Rockefeller Center, New York, where he spent a good deal of time with Hermann Schmitz, chairman of I.G. Farben; his company paid a publicity man, Ivy Lee, to write pro-I.G. Farben and pro-Nazi propaganda and get it into the U.S. press.

Now that he was outside of Texas, Farish found himself in the shipping business--like the Bush family. He hired Nazi German crews for Standard Oil tankers. And he hired Emil Helfferich, chairman of the Walker/Bush/Harriman Hamburg-Amerika Line, as chairman also of the Standard Oil Company subsidiary in Germany. Karl Lindemann, board member of Hamburg-Amerika, also became a top Farish-Standard executive in Germany.@s1@s4

This interlock between their Nazi German operations put Farish together with Prescott Bush in a small, select group of men operating from abroad through Hitler's `` revolution, '' and calculating that they would never be punished.

37. Standard oil was nailed for having Nazi crewmembers and Harriman
--Bush run Hamburg--America shipped Nazi propoganda to the US and smuggled arms to support the Nazis in Germany.

39. The 'War on terror' is responsible for millions of deaths.....
So all the details about these two psychotic murderers are not identical. To deny the similiarities is a case of splitting hairs. The outcome will be basically the same. Iraq is an occupied country now in a war that has no end in sight. Who's gonna rescue them like the US et al did for the Jews? Then we have Iran which seems inevitable. Certainly you're not saying he is somehow 'better' than Hitler? If so, how?

41. Nah, Bu*h is just engaged in the same "kampf" that Hitler was.
He's just another ignorant, egotistical, sociopathic, nazi-like fascist that does not have a conscience, and therefore does not have the capacity to empathize with human beings or any other living thing.

I mean, I really do feel sorry for him....but he can't even care about things like that. It's so very sad.
