-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.citizenslaw.net/_cases/MachsCat/BushFamily/on_the_bush_family.htm ----- On the Bush Family On the Far Right These leaders of the New Right include (notorious Clinton hater) Richard Mellon Scaife, Paul Weyrich and the Coors, DeVos (Amway), Hunt (Oil), Koch (Oil), Krieble (Loctite), Noble, Olin & Van Andel (Amway) families. In fact, oilman George Bush Sr. comes from this very same class of people. His tenure as CIA Director is but a small part of a long history with the Intelligence community, which has included Richard Mellon Scaife, and the other New Right leaders. It is highly unlikely that Bush would have been appointed CIA Director, without some prior experience within the Agency. Indeed, there have been reports that Bush was possibly a CIA operative since at least 1961. What's more, the Bush Family's CIA affiliation appears to originate with the OSS, the WWII Agency that preceded the CIA. Robert Lovett, the business partner of Bush's father Prescott, was an OSS Officer, along with Mellon Scaife's father Alan and their Mellon relatives. In fact, Paul Mellon was the OSS Station Chief in London. Prescott could not (officially at least) be involved in the OSS, since his assets were seized in 1942 under the Trading With the Enemy Act, for collaborating with Nazi industrialists. [1] . It was Robert Lovett and the Committee bearing his name that recommended the creation of the CIA as the post-WWII descendant of the OSS. After the war, Lovett and another of Prescott's business partners, Averell Harriman, were directly involved with the CIA. Given that many of Prescott Bush's cronies enjoyed a long association with the CIA, it is likely that Prescott was involved with the Agency as well. (Those interested in looking more deeply into the elite roots of the OSS and the CIA should read about Yale's "Skull and Bones" society -- a.k.a "the Bonesmen" [2] ). In the seventies, while George Bush Sr. was in the wings for the CIA Directorship, Richard Mellon Scaife ran Forum World Features, a CIA front for a European propaganda operation. There are also reports that Scaife was likely involved in the Heritage Foundation's funding of Iran-Contra, along with Heritage President Edwin Feulner. Contrary to what he still declares to this day, then-Vice President Bush Sr. was clearly "in the loop" of Iran-Contra, as Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger's notes demonstrated. Furthermore, Admiral John Poindexter claimed that he conferred directly with Bush about the Iran-Contra scheme. Also, Bush and his assistant Donald Gregg communicated regularly with Felix Rodriguez, the notorious ex-CIA agent at the heart of the Contra Supply operation [See Lawrence Walsh's "Firewall", W.W. Norton & Co., 1997; pp. 271-272]. In recent years, the CIA Inspector General's Report confirmed that the Contras were trafficking in cocaine, under the watch of Oliver North and the CIA [3] . There is strong evidence that the Contras used North's planes (financed in part by Joe Coors) for their drug-running. Although a Congressional investigation into Contra-Cocaine was recently concluded, there remain lingering questions about the role North's team and the CIA played in this enterprise. [Click here to go beyond the headlines -- What the recent Congressional Investigations actually revealed]. During this period, both Presidents Reagan and Bush appointed Mellon Scaife to the US Advisory Committee for Public Diplomacy, which oversaw the US Information Agency. A key component of the White House Spin Machine, the USIA worked hand in hand with Walter Raymond's interagency propaganda operation. The mission of Raymond's outfit (code-named "Project Truth") was to manipulate US public opinion in favor of the Reagan-Bush foreign policies. [See Robert Parry's "Lost History" for details [4] ]. In 1983, the USIA's director, Charles Z. Wick, held a fundraiser in support of the Iran-Contra activities. With the help of Scaife's lieutenants, Wick collected over $400,000 in private funds from the likes of the Smith Richardson and Olin Foundations [5] . [Also, see the National Security Archive's "Iran-Contra Collection", May 1983]. Later, Frank Shakespeare, yet another Heritage board member, served as the USIA's Director. Ultimately, President George Bush dealt the final blow to Independent Counsel Lawrence Walsh's prosecution of the Iran-Contra affair. Less than a month before leaving office, Bush pardoned Caspar Weinberger and the other defendants awaiting trial. Bush also issued sweeping pardons to those previously convicted ["Firewall", p. 493]. In so doing, Bush clearly abused his Presidential power to avoid further exposure of his Iran-Contra role, which had been definitely established by Weinberger's notes. --------------------------- FROM THE GREENWICH VILLAGE GAZETTE BY TOBY ROGERS BUSH FAMILY NAZI PAST In the fall of 1937 a young 14 year old George Herbert Walker Bush (aka Poppy) was entering his first year at Andover Prep. At the time Andover was molded after British "public schools" and felt more or less like a military academy. Fitzhugh Green has written that Andover " tended to graduate homogeneous boys with no more originality that the products of a cutter." Nicknamed Andover's Headmaster at the time was Dr. Claude Moore Fuess, "Iron" , and was always heard screaming "Other schools have boys, but Andover has men!" Dr. Fuess recruited Yale Ph.D Arthur B. Darling who was given absolute authority of the History department and its curriculum. Hart Day Levitt remembers Darling "insisted that the way to teach" was "through fear." For George Upson Waller, who grew up with George Bush, and in the late 1930's together shared an Andover Math teacher, fear was taken to the extreme. Professor Michael Sides, according Mr. Waller was "quite a horror" and "rather a fascist". "The more he humiliated me the tighter I got, the more he seemed to enjoy it. It was true psychological sadism of the worst possible sort" Mr. Waller recalled. Professor Sides was a also a Nazi and in late 30's. Nazism was becoming in vogue in some elite Wasp circles. During the late 30's and early 40's Professor Sides would suspend his math lesson and would spend the class time discussing current events and politics. "He was a Nazi. He would talk glowingly of Hitler" recalled Mr. Waller. Although Professor Sides was a Nazi, not to mention a teacher from hell, Poppy , according to Mr. Waller was the teacher pet. "He seemed to enjoy" Professor Sides and his other teachers Mr. Waller states "even the most authoritarian. Bush would never defy." Even though Professor Sides was a Nazi "Bush thought he was a great teacher" Mr. Waller told GVG over the weekend. But President Bush might also have been influenced by his father Senator Prescott Bush, who by 1938 along with Father in law, George Walker, had been financially supporting Adolph Hitler and other German-Nazi corporations for over 13 years ------------ According to John Loftus and Mark Aarons' book, The Secret War Against The Jews: How Western Espionage Betrayed the Jewish People: St. Martin's Press 1994, Prescott Bush's heavily connected father-in-law George Herbert Walker was "one of Hitler's most powerful supporters in the United States. The relationship went all the back to 1924, when Fritz Thyssen, the German industrialist, was financing Hitler's infant Nazi Party." Thyssen went on to write a book about this period titled I Paid Hitler published in 1941. The author goes on to say that through Union Banking, a subsidiary of W.A. Harriman & Company, sold $50 million German bonds to American investors. George Walker, who was president of Union Banking, landed his son-in-law Prescott Bush a job as Vice President of W.A. Harriman & Company. Between 1926 and 1934, while Thyssen and other German industrialists consolidated Hitler's political power, Union Banking became an "out and out Nazi money-laundering machine." In 1931 Prescott Bush became a senior partner of newly formed Brown Brothers, Harriman, when Harriman and Company merged with a British investment firm. Three years later George Walker placed his son-in-law Prescott on the board of directors of Union Banking. That same year in 1934, a congressional investigation believed that Walker's "Hamburg-America Line "subsidized a wide range of Pro-Nazi Propaganda efforts both in Germany and the Untied States." One of Walker's employees Dan Harkins, secretly told congressional leaders about the Walker's Nazi sympathies and business transactions. For the next 8 years, that investigation, continued in a giant paper chase and an epic of legal maneuvering. Finally in the fall of 1942 the US Government had charged Prescott Bush with "running Nazi front groups in the Untied States." The Government under the Trading with the Enemy Act, seized all of Union Banking's shares. "Once the Government, had its hands on Bush's books, the whole story of the intricate web of Nazi front corporations began to unravel." According to US Government's Vesting Order No. 248, huge sections of Prescott Bush's empire had been operated on behalf of Nazi Germany and had greatly assisted the German war effort. On November 17th, 1942 in an odd about face The US Government announced that it was only seizing the Nazi interests at Bush's bank, allowing Hitler's US partners to carry on with business as usual. But did the Bush families Nazi sympathies and association end in the fall of 1942? Apparently not. --------------- In late summer, during the 1988 campaign, the seeds of a major Bush scandal began to take roots. On August 2 1988, the Bush campaign, in a press conference announced the formation the Coalition of American Nationalities to coordinate the campaign activities of "ethnic groups". Five weeks later on September 8th, The Washington Jewish Week charged that several of Bush's ethnic advisory committee were "well known anti-Semites and pro-fascists." The article focused on four Bush advisors, including Jerome Brentar, who had worked with groups who claimed the Holocaust was a hoax, Ignatius Billinsky president of the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America which is described by Reporter Russ Bellant as "heavily influenced" by "anti Semites and collaborators with Hitler and apologists for Nazism." The article also focused on Florian Galdau who was described by Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal "as the leader of a Romanian pro-Nazi and anti-Semitic movement in New York City", and known racist and anti-Semite Philip Guarino. The most shocking character though was Laszlo Pasztor, who served in World War II as "an official in a anti-Semitic Hungarian government controlled by the anti-Semitic Arrow Cross" Henry Siegman executive director of the American Jewish Congress said that "It suggests a high degree of insensitivity or incompetence on the part of Bush's staff." Mr. Siegman also expected Bush to "not only remove these people but to repudiate what they stand for." Albert Vorspan, senior vice-president of the Union of American Hebrews called the story "outrageous and frightening" that the Bush campaign would harbor such "notorious extremists." Abraham Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League said "there is no place in any campaign for anti-Semites. The League urges that these persons be summarily removed." The Bush campaign spokesman Mark Goodin, announced at a press conference about the charges: " If there is anything to them, we'll take action." James Baker, Bush campaign chairman later said "There is no place in this campaign for anti-Semitism, racism, bigotry or people who espouse these views. Any individuals with those views will not be welcome in this campaign." On September 9th Bush spokesmen Mark Goodin announced that Jerome Brentar had resigned from the campaign. Two days later, The Washington Post carried a story that Bush Advisor Fred Malek had also resigned from the campaign. Malek, according to the Post, while serving as aide to President Nixon had compiled lists of employees with "Jewish-sounding" names that Nixon suspected were part of a "Jewish" cabal at the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Michael Miller, executive director of the Jewish Community Relations Council tells the New York Times "There's absolutely no doubt in my mind that these individuals have expressed sympathies with Nazism." On September 12 the Bush Campaign announced five more resignations from Galdua and Guarino, Billinsky, Pasztor and Bohan Fedorak. It was soon revealed that Mr. Fedorak hosted a Bush campaign appearance in July of 1988 which was co-hosted by a pro-Nazi group. A few days later Radi Slavoff, national co-chairman of Bulgarians for Bush, becomes the seventh Nazi sympathizer to resign. On September 15th CNN runs an interview with Jerome Brentar, who claims he never really resigned from the Bush campaign and denied that the Nazis deliberately gassed Jews during the Holocaust. Bush spokesperson David Sandor quickly responded to the interview: "This is obviously in conflict with what we have said. We stand by what we have said. Mr. Sandor also said that "George Bush is their friend" in regard to the seven staffers who resigned. On September 27, in a Boston Herald column Alan Dershowitz revealed that he had information regarding the Republican Party and Nazi sympathizers. Mr. Dershowitz writes "I first heard about the presence of Nazis in the hierarchy of the Republican Party as far back as 1970." While he was working on the New York Governor's race Dershowitz said he "learned that several members of a Republican 'Captive Nations Committee' were Nazi sympathizers who had been personally involved in the Holocaust in Europe, as well as with racist and neo-Nazi groups in America." That same day, New York Post columnist Pete Hamill wrote a column "George Bush And His Fascist Fan Club" and quotes Menachem Roseensaft, president of the Labor Zionist Alliance and leader of the International Network of Children of the Holocaust: "Clearly Bush wanted them out once they were exposed, but he still wants the votes of their constituency." Four days before election day, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported that another Bush ethnic coalition leader Akselis Mangulis, is accused of belonging to the Latvian Legion, which during World War II was connected to the Nazi SS. Before the paper hit the stand Mr. Mangulis resigned. The following Tuesday, mostly because of his strategist Lee Atwater's self proclaimed "guerrilla tactics" Bush defeated Michael Dukakis in a landslide. Even though James Baker said there was "no place in the campaign for anti-Semitism (and) racism" Bush campaign strategist Lee Atwater, a protégé of Senator Strom Thurmond, who used anti-Semitism to win a congressional seat for Carroll Campbell in 1978, stayed in his position while this whole scandal erupted. Mr. Atwater also created the notoriously racist Willie Horton ad, associating Michael Dukakis with images of black prisoners furloughed from jail raping and pillaging the streets of White America. Over a year later on February 2 1990 in a USA Today article, Tom Squitieri writes that "Four Key Republican activists, ousted from George Bush's 1988 campaign amid charges of anti-Semitic or pro-fascist links are back working for the party." According the article, two of the four were Fred Malek and Phil Guarino. GW Bush was a major part of damage control for the Bush '88 campaign and helped rooting out the Nazis when these stories broke. When a scandal broke it was GW who went into action to protect his father. But did GW know about these seven rouge Nazis and Neo Nazis before they were ousted by the press? What about GW's own ties to Nazi sympathies? Besides helping cover up his Father's Nazi collaborators there is not much. But their is one story about GW Bush GVG has discovered that refuses to die. -------------------- GW Bush, along with his father George and grandfather Prescott, all belong to the Yale secret society Skull and Bones.
