How Did it Begin
And Where Will It End

October 19, 2009

PROLOGUE: Long before World War II Prescott Bush was a prominent figure in financing the Third Reich and its war machine. And while many others long before Prescott Bush also played their parts in the impending takeover of this Republic; the story of the Bush Dynasty of Deception and Betrayal, lies at the heart of how it came to be that traitors have occupied the White House, the War Department and the Congress for the last nine years.

“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 George 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 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.”

“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, Joseph 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.”

Yet: “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 Michael 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.

Aftermath: 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 George Herbert Walker Bush, Jeb Bush, or George 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.” (1)

After Roosevelt contributed the Attack on Pearl Harbor, to the global history of deceptive justifications, for most of the major conflicts going all the way back to ancient times; the neo-conservatives (neo-cons) were largely consigned to the basements of government where they turned their dreams into the real-time war-plans for our current nightmares. Truman followed Roosevelt with the creation of the CIA, Israel, and the UN along with the National Security Council that took over the day-to-day operations of the government that was supposed to be the sole-province of the Congress. From this point on the dye was cast in favor of the return of the Robber-Barons and the Bankers that had been leashed and chained by Roosevelt, after the stock-market crash of 1939.

Eisenhower then stepped in to create the Military-Congressional-Industrial Complex; which he so thoughtfully warned the public about with his parting words to an already hobbled-nation. Kennedy arrived with the cloak of a different dynasty behind him; that of a Robber-Baron in the personage of his father Joseph P. Kennedy. 

“Joseph Patrick Kennedy (September 6, 1888–November 19, 1969) amassed enormous personal wealth as a businessman and became both the first chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the first Irish-American Catholic to be U.S. ambassador to Great Britain.

By 1931, Kennedy had entered politics by contributing to Franklin D. Roosevelt's campaign coffers and collecting donations from businessmen who wished to remain anonymous. Arguably, Kennedy also helped Roosevelt secure the 1932 Democratic Party nomination; by scaring his friend, William Randolph Hearst, with tales that internationalist Newton D. Baker might be nominated, Kennedy persuaded the influential Hearst to support Roosevelt.

In 1934, Roosevelt appointed Kennedy to the SEC. The new commission was designed to regulate the worst corporate excesses, but conservatives feared development of an anti-business agency. Kennedy's appointment proved a masterstroke. Portraying the SEC as improving conditions for business, Kennedy bolstered investor confidence, particularly by emphasizing negotiation and self-enforcement over federal coercion. He established an effective administrative system, with excellent staff, and won respect from all quarters. Quickly bored, Kennedy resigned in 1935. Roosevelt, though, retained his ally, appointing Kennedy the first chairman of the Federal Maritime Commission in 1936.” (2)

Johnson provided ‘the surge’ in Vietnam and used The Gulf-of-Tonkin incident (that did not happen) to intensify ‘Kennedy’s War.’ But he also was responsible for the Attack upon the USS Liberty, by Israel, and for his failure to send relief to that sinking ship while it was under attack. He introduced the nation to The WAR on POVERTY, The Great Society, and to the twisted lack of compassion that actually worked against his own programs by misusing the funding to create more of everything he said he’d come to “end.” Poverty increased, dignity decreased and Corporate Welfare was born.

FreedomLBJ also oversaw the Democratic Convention of 1968 in Chicago where the tactics now used in virtually every city and town across the nation were born. Thugs in Chicago police-uniforms beat the media and the public on television; which set both the tone of the fascist–police state that exists today and introduced the public to intolerance by peace-officers for the public’s right to protest what their own government chooses to do. That was forty-years ago that Freedom of Speech by the public in America was not just abridged – but it was publicly murdered. After all that time freedom-of-speech has still not only not been restored; it has been tortured and imprisoned by traitors to protect them from public condemnation!

Johnson, for his role in the attempted sinking of the USS Liberty, then became the first sitting president to become a traitor to this nation when he acted to serve the interests of Israel – then as now a foreign and hostile ‘power’. 

Nixon brought us Enemies Lists, the War Criminal Kissinger and the expansion of Johnson’s War to include Laos and Cambodia; much as Bush and now Obama have continued to widen their War-on Afghanistan, to include first Iraq and now Pakistan with their sights now firmly set on Iran and Syria as possible next victims of US aggression, in the Middle-East. Nixon also gave us Watergate and first officially tried to introduce the idea of an Imperial Presidency; wherein he said that ‘If a president does something, it cannot be against the law.’ He should have been impeached for his lies and his treasonable public deceptions: but the corruption within congress was already far too deep to be able to do that.

So Ford was appointed with his own appointed Vice President Rockefeller; and Nixon was officially pardoned which set the stage for the Reagan Revolution which was a true revolt of the government against the public that succeeded; far more often, than it ever was controlled, by either the congress or the courts. 

Carter was a mess but he was never an insider. Of the lot he was not a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and he remained a Washington outsider, still he too did his share of damage. Carter failed utterly to “do anything” to change the Iran Hostage Crisis that lasted 444 days, and this paved the way for Poppy to negotiate a deal that put his running-mate in office in 1980. GHW Bush was the man-behind the curtain, from then on in US presidential politics. 

So by the mid 1980’s “Greed is Good” was here to stay; and the Republic was beginning to be openly attacked by people like Newt Gingrich and his “Contract-on-America.” Government was shut down by the government, to force the people that the ‘government’ worked for, to do what they were being told by political hacks. Clearly under Reagan the servants became the masters; while Ronnie’s Death-Squads terrorized Central America and the principals involved in the arms-for-hostages swap that brought Reagan to power were promoted instead of prosecuted. Again there was a presidential traitor to the people and the constitution that he supposedly served – and the public did not demand the punishment that should have sent Reagan to jail at the very least.

The following decades brought us GHW Bush, then Clinton twice, followed by Bush Jr. and now an Obamanation has assumed control: Most of these characters have been the subject of thousands of articles and investigations already, and very little more need be said, except for this round-up of something called: Through the Hourglass – Darkly, from 2003.(3)

The Current Crisis:

Complete Chaos in the Next Few Weeks? End of October?

And: The potential for increased wars among various nations in the Middle-East, due to the fall of the dollar and the continuing military failure in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan: As well as the potential for new US colonial wars for a re-emergence of American War Power in Latin America from our seven new bases in Columbia. All of this is very real and escalating daily. However there is also the beginning of forced vaccinations, possibly involving the chipping of citizens in the shadow of Martial law; especially with the possibility of the imminent financial crisis that could force a bank-holiday on or about 26 October, 2009. 

To say that ‘We have a lot to deal with’ has to have set some kind of record for understatement. Yet none of these dire problems “must happen.” True many have been building for years, some for decades, but those that created them are not smart enough to necessarily be able to ‘pull it off.’ They are ‘clever’ about many aspects of greed and power but blind and helpless about several vast problems which they have chosen to ignore, primary among these are the inherent flaws in their “New World Order.”

“It’s taken then several hundred years to get to this impasse, to the shame of this surrender that they want to force upon humanity, by holding the global economy hostage to everything the world needs, just to survive. This AGENDA is not just another illegal hijacking of other people’s lives and property – this is the wholesale destruction of everything that has ever been fought for, throughout recorded history, in mankind’s battle to free ourselves from tyranny in all its forms, in every age.” (4)

What these new-old Barbarians still fail to recognize is that since mankind began to try and live in organized ways; those individuals and movements that have schemed to ‘own and control it all’ have always failed. They failed because they were overrun by the same rabble that they scorned so thoroughly just because they no longer feared the public, when they should have! Now they’re doing it again here and now with impudence, in what used to be the Republic of the United States of America. They can be stopped if only people will begin to see through the masks they hide behind, while all that they have striven to create will vanish: When they are forced to run for their lives – instead of being able to force us to run for ours.
