BUSH-NAZI LINK CONFIRMED

Documents in National Archives Prove W. Bush's Grandfather Traded

with Nazis - Even After Pearl Harbor

By Buchanan

Exclusive to The New Hampshire Gazette

Friday, October 10, 2003

WASHINGTON - After 60 years of inattention and even denial by the U.S.

media, newly-uncovered government documents in The National Archives and

Library of Congress reveal that Prescott Bush, the grandfather of President

W. Bush, served as a business partner of and U.S. banking operative

for the financial architect of the Nazi war machine from 1926 until 1942,

when Congress took aggressive action against Bush and his " enemy national "

partners.

The documents also show that Bush and his colleagues, according to reports

from the U.S. Department of the Treasury, tried to conceal their financial

alliance with German industrialist Fritz Thyssen, a steel and coal baron

who, beginning in the mid-1920s, personally funded Adolf Hitler's rise to

power by the subversion of democratic principle and German law.

Furthermore, the declassified records demonstrate that Bush and his

associates, who included E. Roland Harriman, younger brother of American

icon W. Averell Harriman, and Herbert , 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.

Story?*****************************************************?????????????????

????****************************************

For six decades these historical facts have gone unreported by the

mainstream U.S. media. The essential facts have appeared on the Internet and

in relatively obscure books, but were dismissed by the media and Bush family

as undocumented diatribes. This story has also escaped the attention of

" official " Bush biographers, Presidential historians and publishers of U.S.

history books covering World War II and its aftermath.

The White House did not respond to phone calls seeking comment.

The Summer of '42

The unraveling of the web of Bush-Harriman-Thyssen U.S. enterprises, all of

which operated out of the same suite of offices at 39 Broadway in New York

under the supervision of Prescott Bush, began with a story that ran

simultaneously in the New York Herald-Tribune and Washington Post on July

31, 1941. By then, the U.S. had been at war with Germany for nearly eight

months.

" Hitler's Angel Has $3 Million in U.S. Bank, " declared the front-page

Herald-Tribune headline. The lead paragraph characterized Fritz Thyssen as

" Adolf Hitler's original patron a decade ago. " In fact, the steel and coal

magnate had aggressively supported and funded Hitler since October 1923,

according to Thyssen's autobiography, I Paid Hitler. In that book, Thyssen

also acknowledges his direct personal relationships with Adolf Hitler,

ph Goebbels and Rudolf Hess.

The Herald-Tribune also cited unnamed sources who suggested Thyssen's U.S.

" nest egg " in fact belonged to " Nazi bigwigs " including Goebbels, Hermann

Goering, Heinrich Himmler, or even Hitler himself.

Business is

Business$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

The " bank, " founded in 1924 by W. Averell Harriman on behalf of Thyssen and

his Bank voor Handel en Scheepvaart N.V. of Holland, was Union Banking

Corporation (UBC) of New York City. According to government documents, it

was in reality a clearing house for a number of Thyssen-controlled

enterprises and assets, including as many as a dozen individual businesses.

UBC also bought and shipped overseas gold, steel, coal, and U.S. Treasury

bonds. The company's activities were administered for Thyssen by a

Netherlands-born, naturalized U.S. citizen named Cornelis Lievense, who

served as president of UBC. Roland Harriman was chairman and Prescott Bush a

managing director.

The Herald-Tribune article did not identify Bush or Harriman as executives

of UBC, or Brown Brothers Harriman, in which they were partners, as UBC's

private banker. A confidential FBI memo from that period suggested, without

naming the Bush and Harriman families, that politically prominent

individuals were about to come under official U.S. government scrutiny as

Hitler's plunder of Europe continued unabated.

After the " Hitler's Angel " article was published Bush and Harriman made no

attempts to divest themselves of the controversial Thyssen financial

alliance, nor did they challenge the newspaper report that UBC was, in fact,

a de facto Nazi front organization in the U.S.

Instead, the government documents show, Bush and his partners increased

their subterfuge to try to conceal the true nature and ownership of their

various businesses, particularly after the U.S. entered the war. The

documents also disclose that Cornelis Lievense, Thyssen's personal appointee

to oversee U.S. matters for his Rotterdam-based Bank voor Handel en

Scheepvaart N.V., via UBC for nearly two decades, repeatedly denied to U.S.

government investigators any knowledge of the ownership of the Netherlands

bank or the role of Thyssen in it. Brown Brothers Harriman sent letters to

the government seeking reconsideration of the seizures by using false

information.

UBC's original group of business associates included Herbert ,

President Bush's maternal great-grandfather, who had a relationship with the

Harriman family that began in 1919. In 1922, and W. Averell Harriman

traveled to Berlin 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.

The -Harriman-created German industrial alliance also included

partnership with another German titan who supported Hitler's rise, Friedrich

Flick, who partnered with Thyssen in the German Steel Trust that forged the

Nazi war machine. For his role in using slave labor and his own steel, coal

and arms resources to build Hitler's war effort, Flick was convicted at the

Nuremberg trials and sentenced to prison.

The Family Business

In 1926, after Prescott Bush had married 's daughter, Dorothy,

brought Bush in as a vice president of the private banking and investment

firm of W.A. Harriman & Co., also located in New York. Bush became a partner

in the firm that later became Brown Brothers Harriman and the largest

private investment bank in the world. Eventually, Bush became a director of

and stockholder in UBC.

However, the government documents note that Bush, Harriman, Lievense and the

other UBC stockholders were in fact " nominees, " or phantom shareholders, for

Thyssen and his Holland bank, meaning that they acted at the direct behest

of their German client.

Seized######################################################################

############################################

On October 20, 1942, under authority of the Trading with the Enemy Act, the

U.S. Congress seized UBC and liquidated its assets after the war. The

seizure is confirmed by Vesting Order No. 248 in the U.S. Office of the

Alien Property Custodian and signed by U.S. Alien Property Custodian Leo T.

Crowley.

In August, under the same authority, Congress had seized the first of the

Bush-Harriman-managed Thyssen entities, Hamburg-American Line, under Vesting

Order No. 126, also signed by Crowley. Eight days after the seizure of UBC,

Congress invoked the Trading with the Enemy Act again to take control of two

more Bush-Harriman-Thyssen businesses - Holland-American Trading Corp.

(Vesting Order No. 261) and Seamless Steel Equipment Corp. (Vesting Order

No. 259).

The documents from the Archives also show that the Bushes and Harrimans

shipped valuable U.S. assets, including gold, coal, steel and U.S. Treasury

bonds, to their foreign clients overseas between 1931-33, as Hitler

engineered his rise to power.

Story?******************************************?????????????????????*******

*****************************************

Since 1942, the information has not appeared in any U.S. news coverage of

any Bush political campaign, nor has it been included in any of the major

Bush family biographies. It was, however, covered extensively in H.W.

Bush: The Unauthorized Biography, by Webster Tarpley and Anton Chaitkin.

Chaitkin's father served as an attorney in the 1940s for some of the victims

of the Bush-Harriman-Thyssen businesses.

The book gave a detailed, accurate accounting of the Bush family's long Nazi

affiliation, but no mainstream U.S. media entity reported on or even

investigated the allegations, despite careful documentation by the authors.

Major booksellers declined to distribute the book, which was dismissed by

Bush supporters as biased and untrue. Its authors struggled even to be

reviewed in reputable newspapers. That the book was published by Lyndon

LaRouche's organization undoubtedly made it easier to dismiss, but does not

change the facts.

The essence of the story has been posted for years on various Internet

sites, including BuzzFlash.com and TakeBackTheMedia.com, but no online media

seem to have independently confirmed it.

In the 1990s, former U.S. Justice Department Nazi war crimes prosecutor

Loftus, now honorary president of the Florida Holocaust Museum, wrote a book

and launched a web site (www.john-loftus.com) which did breakthrough

reporting, including establishing the link between Prescott Bush,

Consolidated Silesian Steel Corporation and forced labor at Auschwitz.

Although the widely-respected Loftus established a successful international

speaking career with his information, no U.S. newspaper or major TV news

program acknowledged his decade of work, nor did he ever see many of the

recently released documents.

Meanwhile, the mainstream media have apparently made no attempt since World

War II to either verify or disprove the allegations of Nazi collaboration

against the Bush family. Instead, they have attempted to dismiss or

discredit such Internet sites or " unauthorized " books without any

journalistic inquiry or research into their veracity.

Loyal Defenders

The National Review ran an essay on September 1 by their White House

correspondent Byron York, entitled " ls of Bush-Hating. " It begins

mockingly: " Are you aware of the murderous history of W. Bush -

indeed, of the entire Bush family? Are you aware of the president's Nazi

sympathies? His crimes against humanity? And do you know, by the way, that

W. Bush is a certifiable moron? " York goes on to discredit the " Bush

is a moron " IQ hoax, but fails to disprove the Nazi connection.

The more liberal Boston Globe ran a column September 29 by Reason magazine's

Young in which she referred to " Bush-o-phobes on the Internet " who

" repeat preposterous claims about the Bush family's alleged Nazi

connections. "

Poles Tackle the Topic

Newsweek Polska, the magazine's Polish edition, published a short piece on

the " Bush Nazi past " in its March 5, 2003 edition. The item reported that

" the Bush family reaped rewards from the forced-labor prisoners in the

Auschwitz concentration camp, " according to a copyrighted English-language

translation from Scoop Media (www.scoop.co.nz). The story also reported the

seizure of the various Bush-Harriman-Thyssen businesses.

Still Not

Interested^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Major U.S. media outlets, including ABC News, NBC News, CNN, The New York

Times, Washington Post, Washington Times, Los Angeles Times and Miami

Herald, as well as Knight-Ridder Newspapers, have repeatedly declined to

investigate the story when information regarding discovery of the documents

was presented to them beginning Friday, August 29. Newsweek U.S.

correspondent Isikoff, famous for his reporting of big scoops during

the Clinton-Lewinsky sexual affair of the 1990s, declined twice to accept an

exclusive story based on the documents from the archives.

In 1952, Prescott Bush was elected to the U.S. Senate, with no press

accounts about his well-concealed Nazi past. There is no record of any U.S.

press coverage of the Bush-Nazi connection during any political campaigns

conducted by Herbert Bush, Jeb Bush, or W. Bush, with

the exception of a brief mention in an unrelated story in the Sarasota

Herald Tribune in November 2000 and a brief but inaccurate account in The

Boston Globe in 2001.
