The Third Class, a pin-back ribboned cross, was presented to the later Senator Prescott Bush whose bank was a strong financial supporter of Hitler’s NSDAP a picture of the medal, which was sent to him via the Department of State and the presentation certificate, signed by Adolf Hitler and Otto Meissner, his Secretary of State.
Adolf Hitler instituted the Order of the German Eagle in 1937 for presentation to "deserving foreigners." Of these, a number were presented to Americans
Federal Register published November 7,1942 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. (p.9097)
The more the internet makes public documents and archives available to the public, the easier it is to see how the image of the current President Bush, as a cowboy from Texas, is as far from reality as the notion of honest and open government under his Administration.
The truth is that much of American media has been in control of powerful Wall Street interests for more than a century. What we have reported to us in the public, as matters of National Security, are very often matters of Wall Street oil and banking moguls.
The same is true of what becomes classified. Who keeps all these secrets our nation supposedly needs closed to the public? Why does the TICOM Report sealed in 1948 still in need to be kept from public view?
The bulk of our military actions both overt and covert is tied to a small band of Wall Street executives who have had a revolving door policy for far longer than most of us might imagine.
What is good for them is called "essential for America," and there are few families more steeped in covert operations, Wall Street fortunes and crime than the powerful dynasty that is The Bushes.
Among the Blue Blooded heirs of fortune, born with a silver spoon and a sense of entitlement, is the current President. His disregard for human life, the environment, the Constitution and liberties it affords are part of a long history of family power and wealth.
While this information is largely in the public domain and sites throughout cyberspace cover it in detail, there are many who have no clue of the history of the Bush family. Recently, the vitriolic rhetoric of the NeoCon spin machine has thrown charges of Nazism, Fascism, this, that, and the other thing, at their critics with regularity.
I happened in the course of some other research of past crimes to come across a particularly nice document, and it seemed fitting to share it and revisit the family history of crime. Let's take the charges that the right wing radio dolts like to make of liberals being like Nazis and see who Hitler's supporters really were.
To those who look into the lawless coups, massacres and history of US aggression, the fact of supporting Hitler just makes sense. While some summarize the problem as America's history of lawlessness, in reality it is just a powerful few at the rotten core.
The most rotten are the secret establishment of the money laundering, arms trading, drug running bankers of Wall Street with the best manners and worst morals. These are our Blue Blooded killers. George W. Bush's grandfather Prescott was a Yale man, inducted into the Skull and Bones in the Class of 1917. Along with many of his classmates, Prescott was given a job on Wall Street with one of the most powerful firms of the era. Brown Brothers Harriman was built on the railroad fortunes.
W. Averell Harriman was of course an elder statesman of US policy and the Dulles brothers were the lawyers who made the deals work. They all joined with the heirs of the Rockefeller oil fortune to spread their influence around the world and call it capitalism and free trade.
Students raised in the American school systems have little sense of the sophistication and global reach of these businessmen at the turn of the century. But the holdings and business operations were located in every corner of the globe. They had close ties to the most powerful interests in those countries and they had investments and intelligence to go with them.
Germany was also an industrial powerhouse and the investments there were significant. The fact of multinational operations and banking interests controlling local politics has been sold to us as a divided situation when in reality they have long been one.
Hitler came to power with a lot of financial help. War is not cheap and money for weapons and fuel, troops and food needed to be in ample supply.
With documents that have long been public but buried, in addition to ones released by former "communist" regimes, it is crystal clear what the relationships were. The Union Bank Corp., of which Prescott was then a Director, along with Allen Dulles and other members of the OSS (predecessor to the CIA) continued to funnel money to the Nazi party.
They eventually had their businesses seized for trading with the enemy. The details are a matter of public record. But "being public" and "informing the public" are light years apart.
How and why the information has been kept from the public all these years is a different matter. The simple truth is that two generations of outrageously wealthy Wall Street Bonesmen in the Bush family have moved into the nation's greatest positions of power. Our worthless media have sold them to us as pioneering Texas oil men with a side of good 'ole boy, golly and shucks.
They are among the ruling families of wealth with riches and power beyond Donald Trump's wildest dreams, and family as powerful and numerous as the Kennedy clan, but due care is taken to stop short of giving the impression of a powerful dynasty. Instead we're delivered the pumped-up fiction of a hardscrabble, self made clan.
George H. W. Bush was placed without any intelligence experience as the Director of the CIA and then went on to be President. His son, a third generation heir of fortune, has now been at the helm of the world's greatest democracy for six years and every day the situation looks closer to the criminal regimes their ancestors supported.
The attached documents are a recognition of Prescott Bush's service to the Nazis signed by Adolph Hitler and his Secretary of State Otto Meissner. There is the Congressional record of the businesses seized by committing treasonous acts and the cost in lives is inestimable.
The point here wasn't so much to prove the current President is tied to the horrid history of the Nazis, but to highlight the fact that for all the news media who have the task of informing the public about our nation and elected officials, there is a reason so few know the facts. They omit and lie.
The CIA and media are very much partners with the Wall Street cartel of oil and banking. If that it wasn't made clear to us in the past history, it should be clear in Iraq. The President's current veto and MSM softball treatment of his totalitarian action is more of a clue what they are willing to report is the very least challenge they can mount without losing what little credibility that remains.
In spite of falling public opinion and Congressional action, George Bush believes he is entitled to break laws without consequences and take aggressive military action without accountability. By many measures he is just doing what his family has done for generations — controlling the government, the purse strings on Wall Street, and the media machine that pumps out enough Star Spangled propaganda to make some of the people believe it is being done in America's name.
The wild card is the internet and to the extent it is possible we need to become as informed as we can about the culture of corruption and shadow government feeding on our democracy and funding its demise with our tax dollars. We must impeach this criminal in the White House and open the archives and make the others account for their crimes. Knowledge is power, arm yourselves for one heck of a fight to restore liberty and justice for all.
The Bush's family history isn't spectacular, but they've certainly felt compelled to get involved especially in the Middle East. Often I've wondered if the family wasn't first interested after one of their lines went to the East as a minister to convert the Muslims, alas twas a bitter failure, but perhaps the influence has had a lasting affect.
Interesting also to note that the family has used government to further their ends for eons. As surprising as it has been the "free pass" they tend to get in the media, can't imagine what they would do to a Democratic candidate that was awarded a German medal. Little George, to make sure he could show he had made money on his own was essentially given 14 million dollars by the Texas state government when the new site for their baseball arena was forced to be sold to a group of investors, George Bush being one of them daddy's money for sure. This owners of the land the arena was to be built on we told to sell to George's little group for one sixth the lands value, of course no business person would agree to such a thing, but the state government stepped in and told the owners that if they didn't sell to George's group the land would be condemned unbelievable as that may sound.
In the end the owners sold to George's little group and little George profited to the tune of 14 million dollars. At the same time he was given the management of the Texas rangers, where he promptly traded away Sammy Sosa to Chicago and ran the team into the ground, probably something the press should have delved into before he was elected.
The press essentially ignored both revelations, either of which should have disqualified him for any public office. The fifth estate reported and verified both claims and it did no good as they just didn't have the readership.
What the hell's going on here?

Pamela,
Thank you for a very informative, interesting article.
"dem Herrn Prescott Bush?" I knew the Democrats were Nazis, and this proves it! Thanks, Pamela. ;-)
I thought this proved that the Republicans were Nazi's.
So you are claiming there is a difference ChrisRonk ?
I'm not sure how to answer your question I Spy. It looked to me that spiffie had miss-typed the response and meant to say Republicans instead of Democrats.
My personal belief Neither party are Nazi's - just shameless opportunists.
Actually, it was a just a joke, since I'm a card-carrying Democrat. I was satirizing how some will seize upon the smallest, irrelevant piece of information, which is usually interpreted incorrectly anyway, in an attempt to reach the worst conclusion possible about people they disagree with.
Ha ha!
ChrisRonk
My personal belief Neither party are Nazi's - just shameless opportunists.
The modern interpretation of the word Nazi, means "Bad Stuff. In reality it is not so much the Nazi links, they were very common in the USA at the time, The problem was that they were clearly dealing with them after America had picked a side. ie. once the Nazi's were clearly going to lose. So these men prolonged the war for quite some time. It was not until This plane was shot down
Leslie Howard - Filmstar of the 30's & 40's
He died in 1943 when the KLM plane he was on was shot down by German fighters ... fact that the Germans wanted to kill Howard as he was an ardent anti-nazi. ...
When The Nazi's thought they were assassinating Churchill they actually killed the top American Nazi's. If you can find the passenger list it reads like a who's who of Oil men and Nazi sympathizers
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Overseas_Airways_Corporation_Flight_777
he passenger list included stage and film actor Leslie Howard; Alfred T. Chenhall, Howard's friend and accountant; Kenneth Stonehouse, Washington correspondent of Reuter news agency, and his wife Peggy Margetts Stonehouse; a Mrs. Rotha Hutcheon and her daughters, Petra, 11, and Carole, 2; a Mrs. Cecelia Emilia Paton; Tyrrell M. Shervington, director of Shell-Mex Oil Company in Lisbon; a Mr. Ivan James Sharp, an official of the United Kingdom Commercial Corporation; Wilfrid J.B. Israel, a prominent Jewish activist working to save Jews from the Holocaust; Francis German Cawlrick; and Gordon Thomas MacLean.[6][7][8][9] It has been widely reported that Annette Sutherland Burr, the wife of actor Raymond Burr, also perished on BOAC Flight 777. But Burr's biographer Ona L. Hill writes that "no one by the name of Annette Sutherland Burr was listed as a passenger on the plane" and that Sutherland was on a separate commercial plane travelling between Lisbon and London around the same time as BOAC Flight 777, which was also shot down by the Germans.[10][11]
BOAC Flight 777 was fully booked and several people who wished to board the plane were turned back, including British Squadron Leader Wally Lashbrook,
Thanks, Pamela. Another brilliant post — couldn't resist clipping it ;-)
Pamela-
Excellant piece. Well written and researched.
I have been talking about these connections to friends and family for some time. It just isn't known by most people. I hope this gets the ball rolling. At some point the country is going to have to go through a national introspective moment to figure out why this happened to our country and how to avoid it in the future. Just like I'm sure the Germans did after WWII.
The sad fact is you'll never get through to certain percentage of people; they're too scared to let go of the life preserver that is their beliefs. Even if GWB was shown to be a Nazi, there'd be people still clinging to his jack boots.
They'd be accusing the Dems of political spin for calling George's showers, gas chambers.
Thanks, Pamela, for another web of connections on one of America's premier crime families.
"Many major firms had dealings with Nazis in the years leading up to WW2, but relatively few engaged in such extended cooperation with hitler's Germany after Pearl Harbor. It was business as usual for George Walker and Prescott Bush." -- J.H. Hatfield, Fortunate Son, p.xxxiii
thanks, pamela, stimulating piece!
Pamela, oh, Pamela! If only there were a way to put all this Internet News together in a sourced and well read place. Somewhere millions would read it and most would come to know it as fact and truth. Newsvine just may be the place and you are helping it get there. We have to be careful we don't allow the social side of Newsvine to overcome the news. At times I fear it is going there. Your participation in both sides of the house makes me feel more secure.
But "being public" and "informing the public" are light years apart. :)
The wild card is the internet and to the extent it is possible we need to become as informed as we can about the culture of corruption and shadow government feeding on our democracy and funding its demise with our tax dollars. We must impeach this criminal in the White House and open the archives and make the others account for their crimes. Knowledge is power, arm yourselves for one heck of a fight to restore liberty and justice for all.
They never suspected the power of the intaweb. It never Forgets, it never get tired, its memory never gets full, and it's reach is Global.
Wanrted Dead or Alive ; list in order.
Cheney
Bush
Gale Norton
Mohammad Karzai
These Criminals are still active in the US government. Then there is the Clinton Baronette.
Gale Norton.
I'm curious about her abrupt departure from the Interior Department at about the time her key staff member was indicted.
Neither national nor media here in her home state of Colorado have had much to say about her "return to private life"...
Any particularly rich nodes to start the search web from?
Sorry not really breacadh. your on your own there but I have Hilary is under the microscope :) something to look forward too :)
I look forward to a Hilary unveiling. :-)
They are still pursuing the destruction of America and the creation of the New World Order. Bush and Cheney are the latest American puppets to dance under the direction of the banking underworld.
We must impeach this criminal in the White House and open the archives and make the others account for their crimes. Knowledge is power, arm yourselves for one heck of a fight to restore liberty and justice for all.
Love it. Thanks for a great article, Pamela.
Fantastic write-up. As you mention, not all "new" news, but I'm adding my comment simply to keep this on the front page as long as possible. And to give you some mad props! ;)
Pamela, thank you for this veryyyyy interesting information. I have heard before about all of these things but never seen it with luxury of details. Thanks again,
The wild card is the internet
I would submit the internet is quite the wild card when it comes to connecting the dots of world domination across decades of heralded manipulation from Hitler and his ilk to land so neatly on the doorstep of the Bush family.
In the same vein I'm interested to know if Barak Obama and his ancestral world domination heritage still maintains significant sway since the days of the Great Wall and Pyramids of Giza such that liberty and justice in our age can overcome the criminal element of the highest order of entrenched global politics.
Perhaps as I grasp this conspiracy better it is of no small coincidence that the Russians are objecting to US "over activity" in planning lunar space programs under the Bush administration which may become the precursor to blue moon domination of Hitler proportions.
OK, seriously, who cares??? His GRANDFATHER was given it, not him. Why should he be accountable for the sins of his grandfather?? Give me a break. In a law of court, this would not be admissable because it is irrelevant to him. Are there ties to him directly supporting Nazi groups?? If there are, then report it. If not, this really and truly has nothing to do with his actions. I am sure a lot of us have a relative we would like to hide and many people have wealth that their relatives gained by illegal means. Weren't the Rockafellers robber barons? Should we discuss that?? Oh wait, who cares about that??
As far as Kennedy, people bring up HIS actions is completely different than bringing up the actions of his relatives. Either way, it is past history. We can't change it.
As for the media, I think it goes both ways. There are a lot of sources that lambast him and some that don't. Instead of bringing up dirt from the past, why don't we focus on what their ACTIONS?? I know you don't agree with his policies but some people do. And if the media truly reported the war in Iraq, maybe people wouldn't be so bitter towards Bush for it. I have heard a lot of reports from returning soldiers that we are doing so many wonderful things over there, but do we hear about that??
Either way, maybe both sides should lay off each other with the dirt digging. It would be a nice change.
I am so glad you linked to this from Galley Cat's article. This excellent article needs to be read and re-read a few times. Over and over. Kinda ironic to come across it on Super Tuesday 2008.
How someone in the MSM will not pick this and run with it (other than plagiarizing bits into their own 'commentary') is beyond comprehension. I guess the key obstacle is fear, self-preservation and guilt. It takes great courage and boldness to write something like this. Only those who are totally committed to truth and justice with equity can do so. If anyone, inside Newsvine as well as beyond, had any lingering doubts about your committment, this article should have dispelled them last May. There were times when I myself had some of those doubts. Wish I had come here before!
I would have hoped that this single article in itself was enough for Newsvine to consider that elusive RAV for you Pamela. Of course, there are many other such examples on your column anyway.
Thanks Pamela. For what it's worth, I've clipped this to a few more Groups. Hopefully the mere fact that I was here for a while voting up comments etc would have trigerred some action on Newsvine Live. It would be good to give this article another run for its money. As I said, needs several readings before the stark reality strikes home.
Pamela, thanks for this well-documented article, which I didn't even know you'd written last May when I wrote my piece just this past Sunday on how Bush's words sound just like quotes from Nazi and fascist leaders.
This article is why I'm wanting to push for a wiki styled master article that a group of folks can work on. Amazing this showed up this far into the future. It means that it can continually be updated and expanded upon.
Putting the orignal book links up as well as material like the mid 90's book documenting the Bush Family's S&L mob connections should be put together and organized.
I got another regular poster to put links to all of her most important articles at the bottom of the main article so that folks can quickly see other important resources. If you haven't figured out how to do this, check out Marylin's step by step instructions here. Its down in the comment section...
All the more that you should be partnering up with others to build up resources here.
Not everybody is gonna have every possible skillset. I refuse to have a clue about Microsoft Word, but I've been building computers for 20 years.
Actually, it wouldn't hurt if Newsvine started focusing on group support tools a bit more.
Great article Pamela! Thank you for the chilling information.
