Between 1945 and 1949, in Nuremberg, one of the longest and seemingly futile interrogations of a Nazi war crimes suspect took place in the American Zone of Occupied Germany. Fritz Thyssen, a multibillionaire steel magnate, whose steel empire was at the core of the Nazi war machine, spoke endlessly to a joint US-UK interrogation team. Little did the Allied investigators know that they weren’t asking Thyssen the right questions.
The secret of the Bush family fortune lay in Thyssen’s hidden chain of banks and the transfer of ownership documents of his Nazi assets to his American friends in New York City: Prescott Bush and Herbert Walker, the father and grandfather of a future US President, George Herbert Walker Bush.
The Mainstream Media’s Silent Complicity
The American public remains largely unaware of the Bush family’s links to Nazi Germany, thanks to the historical record being carefully withheld by the mainstream media. However, in September 2004, The Guardian exposed that George Bush’s grandfather, the late US senator Prescott Bush, was a director and shareholder of companies that profited from their association with the financial backers of Nazi Germany.
This explosive revelation prompted a civil action for damages against the Bush family in Germany and raised pre-election controversy.
The Impact on US Presidential Elections
Had the American people known about the Bush family’s links to Nazi Germany, history would have been different. John Kerry could have won the presidency in 2004 in a landslide, and Michael Dukakis could have won in 1989 against George Herbert Walker Bush.
It is also worth considering that had this information been revealed in the wake of the Nuremberg trials (1945-1949), Bush Senior would never have entered politics, and his father, Prescott Bush, would never have become a senator.
The more pressing question is not whether Prescott Bush aided Adolf Hitler, but how the rise of Adolf Hitler supported US business interests in Germany. The Guardian article was published at the height of the US election campaign, which led to the re-election of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney in 2004. The deafening silence from the US media indicates a pattern of wealthy war criminals ascending to high office.
Prescott Bush’s Nazi connections, Bush Senior and George W. Bush’s connections to the Bin Laden family – these “awkward truths” must be kept from the public eye to preserve the illusion of American democracy. Propaganda is crucial in maintaining the legitimacy of presidential candidates in the eyes of public opinion.
Crimes Against Humanity: The Bush Family’s Complicity
There is a disturbing relationship between the war crimes committed by the Bush family and their connections to Nazi Germany. Prescott Bush’s dealings with Nazi Germany and the involvement of George W. Bush in the Iraq War (2003) and Bush Senior in the Gulf War (1991) raise numerous questions about their complicity in these heinous acts.
According to former prosecutor John Loftus, “It is bad enough that the Bush family helped raise the money for Thyssen to give Hitler his start in the 1920s, but giving aid and comfort to the enemy in time of war is treason.
The Bush bank helped the Thyssens make the Nazi steel that killed Allied soldiers.
As bad as financing the Nazi war machine may seem, aiding and abetting the Holocaust was worse.
Thyssen’s coal mines used Jewish slaves as if they were disposable chemicals. There are six million skeletons in the Thyssen family closet, and a myriad of criminal and historical questions to be answered about the Bush family’s complicity.”
The Bush Family’s Nazi Ties
Prominent figures like Prescott Bush were not alone in their murky dealings with the Third Reich. Henry Ford, an avowed admirer of Hitler, and major corporations like GM and Ford, played a significant role in producing the military trucks that carried German troops across Europe. After the war, these auto companies sought and received reparations for damage to their German plants caused by allied bombing.
Evidence of the Bush family’s links to Nazism was available well before George Herbert Walker Bush (Senior) and George W. Bush entered politics. As per John Buchanan of the New Hampshire Gazette, recently uncovered government documents reveal that Prescott Bush, the grandfather of President George W. Bush, served as a business partner of and US banking operative for Fritz Thyssen, the financial architect of the Nazi war machine, from 1926 until 1942.
The documents also show 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 Thyssen for nearly a year after the US entered the war. Even though Prescott Bush’s company’s assets were seized in 1942 under the Trading with the Enemy Act, he was never prosecuted for his business dealings with Nazi Germany.
The Bush family’s involvement with Thyssen not only served to bolster Hitler’s rise in the 1920s but also aided and abetted the enemy during wartime, an act amounting to treason. Their financial aid facilitated the production of Nazi steel used against Allied soldiers and, more horrifyingly, abetted the Holocaust.
The Bush family’s complicity in war crimes is a dark shadow that looms large over their political legacy. From their financial backing of the Nazi regime to their involvement in the Iraq and Gulf Wars, their actions have had far-reaching and devastating consequences.
A Call to Action
The veil of secrecy that has long shrouded the Bush family’s ties to Nazi Germany serves as an unsightly blemish on the face of American political history. The disturbing revelations about their involvement with one of history’s most brutal regimes puncture the sanitized narrative we’ve been fed, challenging the legitimacy of their political legacy.
As we traverse this dark labyrinth of the past, we uncover a deeply unsettling pattern of war crimes and complicity in human rights abuses. This grim chapter from our history underscores the urgent need for transparency, accountability, and thorough scrutiny of our leaders’ backgrounds and affiliations.
As Americans, it’s incumbent upon us to demand the unvarnished truth from our media, our politicians, and even ourselves. We must confront these uncomfortable truths head-on to address the systemic issues that enable such atrocities and ensure that those responsible are brought to justice.
The ominous silence of the mainstream media and the concerted efforts to stifle this information only underscore the urgency of our mission for truth. The path to a future free from such atrocities is paved with the enlightenment of these ‘awkward truths.’
As we shine a light on the darkest corners of our history, we fortify our resolve to prevent the recurrence of such grievous wrongs.
In the face of such revelations, our commitment to truth, transparency, and accountability isn’t just a moral obligation—it’s a necessity for the survival of our democracy.
