Documents linking Prescott Bush to Nazi-era enterprises

[Must_B_Free]

George Herbert (Bert) Walker’s relationship with Averell Harriman went back to 1919, reported Buchanan, when both went to Paris to set up “the German branch of their banking and investment operations, which were largely based on critical war resources such as steel and coal.” Other corporate entities, all with ties to similar German interests, were then created by UBC, which had Prescott Bush on its board – most notably, the Hamburg-American Line, the Holland-American Trading Corporation, and the Seamless Steel Corporation. On October 12, 1920, the St. Louis Globe-Democrat headlined “Ex-St. Louisan Forms Giant Ship Merger,” explaining that Bert Walker was the “moving power” behind the “merger of two big financial houses in New York, which will place practically unlimited capital at the disposal of the new American-German shipping combine.” In the summer and fall of 1942, Congress, under the authority of the Trading With the Enemy Act, seized the first group of entities, the UBC, the Holland-American Trading Corporation, and the Hamburg-American Line. Buchanan’s diligence has discovered that the latter “reportedly smuggled Nazi spies into the U.S. before the war and encouraged U.S. ‘Patriots’ to travel to Germany and proselytize for Hitler in the early 1930s.”

Much of this is confirmed by the new documentation. The UBC was not a “bank” at all but “in reality a clearing house” for many assets and enterprises held by Fritz Thyssen, a German steel magnate who has written about his role in helping to finance the Third Reich. Located close to Bush’s 59 Wall Street office, it was “founded in 1924 by W. Averell Harriman on behalf of Thyssen and his Bank voor Handel en Scheepvaart N. V. of Holland.” The UBC was seized by the United States under Vesting Order 248 on October 20, 1942

1. just more conformation

MAybe by '39 FDR knew war was coming--there a number of appointments that I think FDR choked on but had to have those people running the factories---

[Octafish]

2. So. As of August 28, 1942, Bush was still trading with Hitler?

Gee. I hope more Americans put 2+2=Fascism Today.

Thanks for the most important jpg and link, Must_Be_Free!

Here's some background for those new to the subject:

I think they were connected to the Commies, too.



And the Russian Mafiya.

3. By the way - the one jpg I posted is a modern cover letter, not from 1942

TO avoid another Dan Rather situation, I need to clarify. The handwritten text says:

"Note: 12 pages of actual documents follow. This is a cover sheet relating only to the one indicated above. One other cover sheet is included as you should have a total of 14 pages."

So there are two modern word processed documents explaining actual scans of documents from the National Archive posted here

http://hnn.us/articles/1810.html
http://hnn.us/articles/1812.html

A key word is "reportedly" in the sentence "Which reportedly smuggled Nazi spies into the US before the war and encouraged "patriots" to travel to Germany and proselytize for hitler in the early 1930s." I don't think there is any documentation to support this. In another version I have heard the Americans wereoffered $1000 to go to Germany and proselytize for Hitler.

6. Thanks, Be_Here_Now! That's a Bush-NAZI info gold mine.

In a way, it's dissapointing to see how few DUers understand how truly vital this information is.

If we don't oppose the Bush Reich, we all will get the government SOME so richly deserve.

The Bush-Nixon-Nazi Connection

By Mark Aarons and John Loftus

Richard Nixon’s political careerbegan in 1945, when as anavy officer he was assigned toreview some captured Nazi documents.Allen Dulles told Nixon to keep quietabout what he had seen and, in return,arranged to finance the young man’sfirst congressional campaign.

The documents that Dulles waseager to cover up concerned KarlBlessing, the former Reichsbank of-ficer and then head of the Nazi oil car-tel called Kontinentale 01 AG, or“Konti.” Konti was in partnershipwith Allen and John Foster Dulles’principal Nazi client, I.G. Farben, theinfamous chemical/weapons producer.Both companies had despicable recordsregarding their complicity with the Na-zis and their ill treatment of Jews dur-ing the Holocaust.

Dulles was also covering up forBlessing in order to protect continuedcontrol of German oil interests in theMiddle East. Blessing’s Konti was theNazi link to King Ibn Saud and Aramco (the Arab-Ameri-can Oil Co.). If Blessing went down,he could have taken a lot of people withhim, including Allen Dulles.

The Dulles brothers took Nixonunder their wing and escorted him ona tour of fascist, “freedom fighter” op-erations in Germany.

When Truman was reelected in1948, Nixon became Allen Dulles’mouthpiece in Congress. Both Nixonand Senator Joseph McCarthy receivedvolumes of classified information tosupport the charge that the Truman ad-ministration was filled with “pinkos.”When McCarthy went too far in hisCommunist investigations, it wasNixon who worked with CIA directorBedell Smith, to steer investigationsaway from the intelligence community.

5. Schroeder Bank is the same as Schroders, Ltd

This is now a rethorical question, since the answer was further in the document.

It sounds like it's a different spelling of the same organization especially since it's a German name. Schröder -> Schroder or Schroeder.

From your link:

1933:On January 4, 1933, Hitler was invited to the Schroeder Bank by a group of industrialists. The industrialists gave Hitler the money to overcome his financial problems in turn for a pledge to break the trade unions. Present at this meeting were two Americans John Foster Dulles and Allen Dulles.

http://www.country-liberal-party.com/pages/Bush-Nazi-links.htm

Operation PBSuccess. Overthrow the Guatemalan government for United Fruit Company 1954. John Foster Dulles and Allen Dulles were also involved United Fruit and Allen later became director of the CIA and at that time he was .. of course .. the guy in charge of the operation.

Logistics and finance

The New York Times reports on 11/27/78 that the investment banking firm of Shroders, Ltd is used to handle the funds. This bank is also used for the 1953 coup in Iran and the 1954 coup in Guatemala.

http://demopedia.democraticunderground.com/index.php/Operation_PBSUCCESS

As stated above as well. The document positively answers this question. Schroder Ltd == Schroeder Bank == United Fruit coup financier.

Edit: Answered it myself

8. "When in doubt, umlaut." -- Mr. Hamilton, Deutschinstruktor

What is it about the BFEE and banks? Oh, yeah! That's where the money is.

The Hitler Connection

J. Henry Schroder Banking Company is listed as Number 2 in capitalization in Capital City(62) on the list of the seventeen merchant bankers who make up the exclusive Accepting Houses Committee in London. Although it is almost unknown in the United States, it has played a large part in our history. Like the others on this list, it had first to be approved by the Bank of England. And, like the Warburg family, the von Schroders began their banking operations in Hamburg, Germany. At the turn of the century, in 1900, Baron Bruno von Schroder established the London branch of the firm. He was soon joined by Frank Cyril Tiarks, in 1902. Tiarks married Emma Franziska of Hamburg, and was a director of the Bank of England from 1912 to 1945.

During World War I, J. Henry Schroder Banking Company played an important role behind the scenes. No historian has a reasonable explanation of how World War I started. Archduke Ferdinand was assassinated at Sarajevo by Gavril Princeps, Austria demanded an apology from Serbia, and Serbia sent the note of apology. Despite this, Austria declared war, and soon the other nations of Europe joined the fray. Once the war had gotten started, it was found that it wasn’t easy to keep it going. The principal problem was that Germany was desperately short of food and coal, and without Germany, the war could not go on. John Hamill in The Strange Career of Mr. Hoover(63) explains how the problem was solved.* He quotes from Nordeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung, March 4, 1915, "Justice, however, demands that publicity should be given to the preeminent part taken by the German authorities in Belgium in the solution of this problem. The initiative came from them and it was only due to their continuous relations with the American Relief Committee that the provisioning question was solved." Hamill points out "That is what the Belgian Relief Committee was organized for--to keep Germany in food."

The Belgian Relief Commission was organized by Emile Francqui, director of a large Belgian bank, Societe Generale, and a London mining promoter, an American named Herbert Hoover, who had been associated with Francqui in a number of scandals which had become celebrated court cases, notably the Kaiping Coal Company scandal in China, said to have set off the Boxer Rebellion, which had as its goal the expulsion of all foreign businessmen from China. Hoover had been barred from dealing on the London Stock Exchange because of one judgement against him, and his associate, Stanley Rowe, had been sent to prison for ten years. With this background, Hoover was called an ideal choice for a career in humanitarian work.

Although his name is unknown in the United States, Emile Francqui was the guiding spirit behind Herbert Hoover’s rise to fortune. Hamill (on page 156) identifies Francqui as the director of many atrocities committed against natives in the Congo. "For every cartridge they spent, they had to bring in a man’s hand". Francqui’s frightful record may have been the source for the charge later leveled against German soldiers in Belgium, that they chopped off the hands of women and children, a claim which proved to be groundless. Hamill also says that Francqui "tricked the Americans out of the Hankow-Canton railroad concession in China in 1901, and at the same time had ‘stood by’ in case Hoover needed any further help in the ‘taking’ of the Kaiping coal mines. This is the humanitarian who had sole charge of the distribution of the Belgian ‘relief’ during the World War, for which Hoover did the buying and shipping. Francqui was a director with Hoover, in the Chinese Engineering and Mining Company (the Kaiping mines), through which Hoover transported 200,000 Chinese slave workers to the Congo to work Francqui’s copper mines."

SNIP...

Not only did Hoover entertain Francqui in the White House, but also Ivar Kreuger, the most famous swindler of the twentieth century.

9. What are the odds that Dulles is behind JFK?

Just a random question, since we are talking about Dulles. It's a nasty family as well - the DFEE of their times. Add Rockefeller to the mix and you have the top dynasties.

A FAIRY TALE

Once upon a time there was a guy named Dallas who owned United Vegetables which practically owned Bananistan. He then becomes boss of the CEI, the intelligence buro of the United Counties. And suddenly Bananistan becomes democratic and wants to break the power of United Vegetables. Dallas has to protect his interests, so he wants the new guy out, but he doesn't want the people of United Counties to know.

So he set up a covert version of the CEI and nobody has access to it except Dallas of course. For the outside world the CEI was already covert, but it is now super covert. And that organisation overthrows the government of Bananistan and it now has even more control, because it can use that country for other operations.

He then turns to a buddy, God H.W. Sub and ask him to lead his new organisation which is then called Mapata. Mapata can use some land in Bananistan. The first action is to overthrow the government of Iman and that's a success. And then they have Huba, a country next to United Counties and they want to overthrow that government as well.

So God H.W. Sub and Dallas work out a plan called Way of Chicken. And that plan fails miserably. Then Dallas thinks of a plan to stage terror in the United County itself and then blame Huba. And then suddenly the president FJK gets really angry and he fires Dallas.

Dallas is severely pissed now, because he's out of a job and God H.W. Sub is pissed as well, since Mapata was a covert organisation so he never existed but now he really doesn't exist. So Dallas and God H.W. Sub draw up a plan to kill FJK and then blame it on a pro-Huba guy as well so it can even give them a reason to invade Huba once more.

And FJK gets shot. Sadly the reaction of the people of United County isn't anger but immense sadness, so Dallas decides not to use it to start a war. But he is back and he even leads the investigation into FJK's dead and makes a completely weird story out of it.

... TO BE CONTINUED ...

So what do you think of that story.

Disclaimer: Any resemblance between the characters in the above story and real persons living or otherwise is purely coincidental

[Octafish]

11. Like your writing and style. Dallas was tip of the iceberg.

Dulles, from what can be inferred, must have been a player. The CIA leadership appears to have supplied more than a couple participants, like E Howard Hunt and David Atlee Phillips, as did their under-stooges in the Mafia and the Bay of Pigs veterans communities. IMFO, the odds are near nearly 90-percent for.

The thing is, there are so many suspects. Many in (if not most of) the Establishment hated President John F. Kennedy. From Big Oil to Big Steel to the Dixiecrat-KKK-NAZI axis. They all hated Kennedy.

Imagine their shock at the outcome of the 1960 election. They were sure their warmonger Nixon was going to win, having not counted on all the dead voters in Chicago and south Texas.

After their shock wore off and their blood pressure returned to normal, they figured the young president to be a New Dealer who'd cost them money and power. That was the least of their worries. They feared the godless and cashless communists would soon be at our shores and that wouldn't be good for bidniss or their own privileged positions.

Yet, the biggest reason for the animus toward Kennedy, I believe, was his steadfast refusal to start war. Contrary to all the advice of the Cabinet, Joint Chiefs and senior Congressional leadership, Kennedy refused to go to war over the Bay of Pigs and even the Cuban Missile Crisis. Afterward, he turned down Operation NORTHWOODS and sacked the Chairman of the JCS, Gen. Lyman Lemnitzer.

During the Cuban Missile Crisis of October, 1962, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, almost the entire cabinet, and most of Congress that had been briefed wanted JFK to launch a nuclear strike against the Soviet Union, even if it meant global nuclear war.

Thanks to Adlai Stevenson and Bobby Kennedy, the President ordered the government agencies to work out an alternative. That was the embargo. For his trouble keeping the world from ending, JFK was branded "soft" on communism and worse.

One of the things that has most troubled me about the JFK assassination is that there is so much evidence indicating government duplicity in the killing. Chief among these is the concerted efforts to paint Oswald as being a communist sympathizer who wanted to shoot the President and then flee to Cuba.

(This is in addition to the trail created before the assassination: One man purchased trucks in Oswald's name. Another man claimed to be Oswald took a car salesman on a harrowing "test drive" and said he'd be "coming into money" soon.)

A man impersonating Oswald appeared at the Cuban embassy in Mexico City. There were even records of CIA-wiretapped phone calls of a man claiming to be Oswald to the Cuban embassy. To me, that demostrates SOMEONE went to a lot of trouble to point the finger at Castro -- and by extension his backers in Moscow.

To the Warren Commission and the public, the CIA stated the man was Oswald. Only decades later did the Agency recant and state they don't know who the man was. But at the time, someone in the Agency wanted Oswald to be a Cuban sympathizer so the American people would be UNITED in a war on Cuba and the Soviets.



This is the man the CIA top brass claimed was Lee Harvey Oswald. Notice the forearms, those of a very strong man. And another shot:

http://history-matters.com/essays/jfkgen/LastingQuestions/images

Striking there's no similarity to Lee Harvey Oswald. Yet, more and more it looks like Oswald was a loyal American used by his government to be the "Patsy."



Nice people. Never a Dulles moment.

Professor John Newman, Ph.D., Maj., U.S. Army (ret.), author of “JFK and Vietnam” and “Oswald and the CIA” did a great job of making the case that the right wing Establishment set up Oswald.:

http://www.jfklancer.com/backes/newman/

The ultra-rightists in the government and the Pentagon saw Kennedy as a coward. Of course they figured he wouldn't be in favor of expanding the military-industrial complex into the Cold War future indefinitely, through an unwinnable land war in southeast Asia, so they did what the NAZIs and commies do: “No man. No problem.”

After he was dead, these turds turned the media on Lee Harvey Oswald. They painted him a commie sympathiser and tied him to Fidel Castro. Gee. They weren't going to give up on getting Cuba back into United Veggie's claws.

12. this info on Hoover very new to me...always thought his Belgian Relief

a 'good thing'

any other links????????

[Octafish]

13. Surprised me too. Here's a bit more...

... and it seems to show the way the "British Establishment" played both sides in World War I, just like their progeny, today's BFEE.


1915

The success of Francqui and Hoover at provisioning Germany during the First World War was noted in Nordeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung, March 13, 1915, which noted that large quantities of food were now arriving from Belgium by rail. Schmoller's Yearbook for Legislation, Administration and Political Economy for 1916, shows that one billion pounds of meat, one and a half billion pounds of potatoes, one and a half billion pounds of bread, and one hundred twenty-one millions pounds of butter had been shipped from Belgium to Germany in that year. A patriotic British woman who had operated a small hospital in Belgium for several years, Edith Cavell, wrote to the Nursing Mirror in London, April 15, 1915, complaining that the "Belgian Relief" supplies were being shipped to Germany to feed the German army. The Germans considered Miss Cavell to be of no importance, and paid no attention to her, but the British Intelligence Service in London was appalled by Miss Cavell's discovery, and demanded that the Germans arrest her as a spy. Sir William Wiseman, head of British Intelligence, and partner of Kuhn Loeb Company, feared that the continuance of the war was at stake, and secretly notified the Germans that Miss Cavell must be executed. The Germans reluctantly arrested her and charged her with aiding prisoners of war to escape. The usual penalty for this offense was three months imprisonment, but the Germans bowed to Sir William Wiseman's demands, and shot Edith Cavell, thus creating one of the principal martyrs of the First World War.

4. Cool, you've found the document. Here is more shit

Adolph Hitler's financiers, the Thyssen family, formed Union Banking Corporation (UBC) to manage investments in America. The US congressional report described Union Bank as an "interlocking trust" with the German Steel Trust. UBC was also involved in raising funds for Germany and illegally transferring aviation fuel technology to the Luftwaffe.

A July 1942 New York Tribune front page article about the bank was headlined "Hitler's Angel has 3 million in US bank"; ("Hitler's Angel" being Fritz Thyssen). This prompted the congressional investigation which closed UBC.

http://demopedia.democraticunderground.com/index.php/Union_Banking_Corporation

And W.A. Harriman's company is now Halliburton. That's another way of keeping the Prescott-Nazi stuff close

W. A. Harriman and Company paid $4,000,000 for Dresser Industries, an oil drilling equipment supply company. His classmate Henry Neil Mallon as chairman. In 1948, Mallon hired George H.W. Bush to work at Dresser. In September 1998, Dresser merged with Halliburton and is now known as Halliburton Company.

http://demopedia.democraticunderground.com/index.php/Prescott_Bush#Business

But to make it even weirder. Poppy had another grandfather, George Herbert Walker who did a lot of business with Prescott Bush. ( http://demopedia.democraticunderground.com/index.php/George_Herbert_Walker )

Both Bush presidents are even named after him and he was involved in the Hamburg-America line

George Walker also set up the takeover of the Hamburg-America line, a cover for I.G. Farben's Nazi espionage unit in the United States. In Germany, I.G. Farben was most famous for putting the gas in gas chambers; it was the producer of Zyklon B and other gasses used on victims of the Holocaust.

The Bush family was not unaware of the nature of their investment partners. They hired Allen Dulles, the future head of the CIA, to hide the funds they were making from Nazi investments and the funds they were sending to Nazi Germany, rather than divest. It was only in 1942, when the government seized Union Banking Company assets under the Trading With The Enemy Act, that George Herbert Walker and Prescott Bush stopped pumping money into Hitler's regime.

http://www.disinfo.com/archive/pages/dossier/id195/pg1

P.S. I.G. Farben still exists as well. It's now part of BASF. Somehow those companies always continue.

7. Bushitler a nazi alright...don't need documents authentic or otherwise to

recognize that. Documents are interesting without a doubt.

[FreedomAngel82]

10. Anybody who knows their Bush family 101

would know this of course. Prescott Bush was a Nazi traitor. He gave money to both sides and made his fortune off of supporting Hitler.

[Richard Steele]

14. And Prescott Bush was hardly alone, just one who got prosecuted.

He felt he had been scapegoated (hey, c'mon, all his friends were doing it!)
because he didn't have enough INFLUENCE in the corridors of power,
or enough DIRT on enough important people.

This might explain GHWB's choice of a CIA career; and his Hooveresque focus on personal connections.
...............................................................

ANYWAY, just as another example: InternationalBusinessMachines, aka IBM

The much-heralded "Nazi Effeciency" was not a product of race or outlook as they claimed; they BOUGHT IT from IBM.
And IBM was even dirtier than most Nazi collaborator-corporations.

Their business model for the Hollerith punchcard computers maximized profit by prohibiting standardization;
every machine was designed to do one job only.
Every machine was task-specific, designed by an IBM engineer who had that TASK described in detail by the Nazi purchaser.

A machine to calculate troop #s needed to contain/round up a given # of jews and output the necessary TRAIN SCHEDULE?
Custom designed by IBM.

A DEATHCAMP machine to record ratios of those killed immediatly to those kept alive for slave labor,
and the average cost/benefit of a laborer's 'useful life'?
Custom designed by IBM.

I highly recommend Edwin Black's award-winning book "IBM and the Holocaust" to anyone
who wants to see what happens when CORPORATIONS have the same rights as PEOPLE:

http://www.ibmandtheholocaust.com/

*snip*
Only after Jews were identified
-- a massive and complex task that Hitler wanted done immediately --
could they be targeted for efficient asset confiscation, ghettoization, deportation, enslaved labor, and, ultimately,
annihilation.
It was a cross-tabulation and organizational challenge so monumental,
it called for a computer.
Of course, in the 1930s no computer existed.

But IBM's Hollerith punch card technology did exist.
Aided by the company's custom-designed and constantly updated Hollerith systems,
Hitler was able to automate his persecution of the Jews.
Historians have always been amazed at the speed and accuracy with which the Nazis
were able to identify and locate European Jewry.
Until now, the pieces of this puzzle have never been fully assembled.
The fact is, IBM technology was used to organize nearly everything in Germany and then Nazi Europe,
from the identification of the Jews in censuses, registrations, and ancestral tracing programs
to the running of railroads and organizing of concentration camp slave labor.

15. All the Wall Street bigwigs were funding Hitler, and tried to manage a

"military" coup to get FDR out of office. FDR was tired of using American troops to protect American corporate interests around the world.
If it hadn't been for Gen Smedley Butler, Hitler would have been in a perfect position to win all of Europe and we might even be speaking German right now.
The Bush family and all their cronies, Dulles, Harriman and the whole crew were in on the plot as well. It is a good bet that they were involved in every assassination of a prominent political figure since WWII. JFK was also threatening to pull back the American military protection of corporate interests in South America. It sealed his death warrant.
Remember Eisenhower warning about the military/industrial complex? He knew what he was talking about. He even specifically mentioned oilmen in Texas, and the disassembling of Social Security.
