How Bush's grandfather helped Hitler's rise to power


Ben Aris in Berlin and Duncan Campbell in Washington

The Guardian

George Bush's grandfather, the late US senator Prescott Bush, was a director and shareholder of companies that profited from their involvement with the financial backers of Nazi Germany.
The Guardian has obtained confirmation from newly discovered files in the US National Archives that a firm of which Prescott Bush was a director was involved with the financial architects of Nazism.

His business dealings, which continued until his company's assets were seized in 1942 under the Trading with the Enemy Act, has led more than 60 years later to a civil action for damages being brought in Germany against the Bush family by two former slave labourers at Auschwitz and to a hum of pre-election controversy.

The evidence has also prompted one former US Nazi war crimes prosecutor to argue that the late senator's action should have been grounds for prosecution for giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

2. dupe it is, but....
I'd rather hear one thing a thousand times than a thousand things not at all...

I'll keep on it too.
Take this message to other boards.

If I might be so bold, these guys need a fresh infusion of material...

Look around for places to post. The more times they see it, the more real it becomes. (just look at how Rush works...)

3. Dr_eldritch,
Do you think those right-wing fanatics on that website would actually acknowledge that material? I would love to be a fly on the wall when they read it.

4. Could these people actually prevail in a court in this country?
Wouldn't be the wonderful to see that entire family crumble under all of this?? I'll bet KKKarl is on the move with damage control.
