About nothing happening in a vacuum. Averill Harriman had some very questionable connections with the nazis and his partner in these dealings was Prescott Bush. This is the same Harriman whose last wife, Pamela, was appointed as ambassadress to France, by Clinton. It’s all really very cosy and all the dots are and have always been connected.

“In 1931, Bush became a founding partner of Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. that was created through the 1931 merger of Brown Brothers & Co., a merchant bank founded in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1818 with Harriman Brothers & Co., established in New York City in 1927, and A. Harriman & Co.” cont…

Furthermore, the declassified records demonstrate that Bush and his associates, who included E. Roland Harriman, younger brother of American icon W. Averell Harriman, and George Herbert Walker, President Bush's maternal great-grandfather, continued their dealings with the German industrial tycoon for nearly a year after the U.S. entered the war.” Cont…
