IMPEACH BUSH


IMPEACH CHENEY

THE UNSAVORY BUSH DYNASTY

It's amazing to think of the impact the Bush dynasty has had on United States history in the 20th and 21st centuries. The Bushes have had their tentacles throughout the U. S government, intelligence agencies, and in foreign policy. It has mostly been a negative impact on the United States, but profitable for the Family. Look at Prescott Bush's dealings with theNazis. Look at George H. W. Bush's tenure at the CIA, and now his war profiteering with the Carlyle Group. Look at the connection to the Reverend Sun Myung Moon. Look at the strong connections to the Saudi royal family, and to the bin Laden family. This article takes a hopeful look at what we hope will be the end of the Bush dynasty. The article by Stephen Lendman is at www.smirkingchimp.com:

Above all, this is a family that formed strong ties to the institutions of power that began in industry and Wall Street and was parlayed to become a powerful political dynasty that included a US senator, two governors, a congressman, vice-president, CIA director and two presidents (the current president's father, of course, having been a congressman, CIA director and vice-president before being elected president in 1988).

Prescott, the president's grandfather, had a particularly unsavory connection as recently declassified documents show. He was a director of New York based Union Banking Corporation (UBC) that was a holding company for the Nazis and represented the German steel industrialist Fritz Thyssen who was intimately involved with the Nazi regime. He was also a director and shareholder of various other companies involved with Thyssen. UBC bought and shipped millions of dollars of gold, oil, steel, coal and US treasury bonds to Germany that helped build and support the Nazi war machine. Prescott was also with Brown Brothers Harriman (BBH) when the firm did business with the Nazis during the 1930s that continued during the early years of WW II until the company's assets were seized in 1942 under the Trading with the Enemy Act.
