Didn't Hitler receive funding from Bush?

Favorite Answer

A large part of the Bush family wealth came from supplying raw materials and credit to Adolf Hitler’s Third Reich. Prescott Bush, the president’s grandfather, had several business operations he managed seized by the US government during World War II under the Trading with the Enemy Act. The Bush family is very familiar with doing business with the enemy.

Prescott Bush was a Wall Street executive banker with Brown Brothers/Harriman, one of the key financiers of the Nazi's. Brown Brothers/Harriman interests in New York were seized, these assets included: Union Banking Corporation (UBC) (for Thyssen and Brown Brothers Harriman); Holland-American Trading Corporation (with Harriman); Seamless Steel Equipment Corporation (with Harriman); Silesian-American Corporation (Partially owned by Germans who attempted to takeover the company, in response the U.S. government seized German owned minority shares leaving the U.S. partners to carry on the business.)

Manuscripts proving Prescott Bush's Nazi ties can be found in the National Archives and the Library of Congress documenting the business relationship between W. Averell Harriman, George Herbert Walker, and Prescott Bush, who served as U.S. partners of, and private bankers for, Nazi industrialist Fritz Thyssen, the financial architect of The Third Reich.

An article from FoxNews.com [of all places =) ] detailing Prescott Bush's ties to Hitler.

Salem bin Laden, Osama’s older brother, was an investor in Arbusto Energy, the Texas oil company started by George W. Bush. Beginning in 1978, George W. Bush set up a series of limited partnerships with Arbusto ’78, Arbusto ’79, and so on, to drill for oil.

The Bush-controlled oil business eventually ended up being folded into Harken Energy Corp., a Dallas-based corporation. Bush joined Harken as a director in 1986 and was given 212,000 shares of Harken stock which he sold in 1990 and paid off the loan he'd taken to buy his share of the Texas Rangers. Shortly after Bush sold his stock, Harken’s fortunes nose-dived when Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait. Some critics claim young George was tipped off in advance by his father about the soon-coming Gulf War.

One of president Bush's Saudi connections, Saudi banker Khaled bin Mahfouz. Known in Arab circles as the “king’s treasurer," finances (one of many) Bin Laden's "terror network."

jossip1: You make a interesting observation, but I think ONE the things that angers people the most is the hypocrisy of it all. People have been imprisoned for questioning the number of Holocaust victims (not that there were victims, just the number of victims), yet the fact that the Bush family has ties to the funding of those atrocities fails to cause national outrage....Show more

Yes, Bush had his foreign investments confiscated for "Aiding and Abetting The Enemy" but well placed friends gave back his investments after WWII.

Actually, though it was Ronald Reagan who armed Hussein, remember the Iran-Contra Scandal. But we had no choice, it was either let the fundamentalist Aiatollah in Iran defeat Hussein's secular government and take over Iraq or help Hussein.

When Iraq began to win the war Reagan's administration secretly, without Congress knowing, funded the shipment of arms to Iran through drug and weapon sales to the Contras. Reagan said, The best end to this conflict will be a stalemate." Well, that's what they say, Chief Justice Renquist stopped the justice department's enquiry into the whole affair, citeing 'national security'.

The Bush-Bin Laden friendship is long and complicated. Osama Bin Laden's favorite brother, a former 'W' Bush business partner, died in a 'freak accident' in a Texas cow pasture. hummm?...Show more

Below is a quote from the book---The Family by Kitty Kelley:

"If Prescott Bush were alive today" said John Loftus in 2002,"I would move to have him indicted for giving aid and comfort to the enemy in time of war"

Loftus asserted that, as the managing investment partner of his firm, Prescott Bush benefited illegally,immorally, and unfairly from the fees of a Nazi-connected company that was later seized by the U.S. Office of Alien Property....Show more

Yes - simply put, if Grandpappy Bush hadn't funded Hitler:
1. He probably wouldn't have been able to sieze power in the first place.

2. He wouldn't have had the additives, fuel, oil or armaments ability to subject London to the Blitz...

These amoral international banker types have always played both sides, which makes war an extremely profitable business for them... they deliberately spun out Vietnam to optimise their profits (again from both sides!)....Show more

Yes, he did. And that's just the wikipedia page... I suspect that the whole truth is vastly worse.

I also have an internal memo from I.G. Farben that explains why, without the help of Rockefeller's Standard Oil, the Nazi War machine would have had virtually no air force. Pretty interesting stuff... you can read it here:
