Kennedy: The George Bush Connection

Prescott Bush - The business connections between Prescott Bush and the German wartime industrialist Fritz Thyssen were more direct than what has been previously written. Thyssen was the main supplier of steel and iron to Germany in both world wars. Bush and Union Banking Corporation, which he managed directly, profited from the Holocaust. Lawsuits have alleged that the inheritors of the Prescott Bush estate could be sued by survivors of the Holocaust and slave labor communities.

Following our article from 2002 concerning the Bush family; their links with the Nazis, and the fortune they have carnet from promoting war, and extracting the profits sweated out of slave labour; the mainstream press has finally admitted that there might be a story worth following. The Guardian have recently (25th September 2004) an article called 'How Bush's grandfather helped Hitler's rise to power'.

The charges against the Bush family are now spanning the three generations that they have been involved in so-called 'democratic' politics in the US.

Prescott Bush, the patriarch of the family, married into money, and used these connections with Avril Harriman and Brown to exploit the re-financing of the German war machine, the financing of Hitler and the Nazi Party, and ultimately, profiteering from Silesian coal mined by slave labourers.

It has even been suggested that the threat to the profitability of these mines by Polish trade unions and Government demands for the rights of their miners to be respected, was a catalyst in the invasion of Poland by the Third Reich, which led to the start of the Second World War.

The charges against his son George Herbet Bush date from the second world war when he was alleged to have killed Japanese trawler men in a lifeboat whilst a fighter-pilot during the second world war. After the war, Bush ended up in the CIA - no one seems to know exactly when, but the first time that Bush was linked to the spooks was in 1963. when according to a previously secret memo that surfaced recently, he briefed the Cuban exiles in Miami on the after-effects of the Kennedy assassination just after Kennedy had been killed. By the mid-1970's, he emerged again as CIA chief and stands accused of complicity in assassinations and the mass-murder of civilians.

George Bush giving some friendly advice to General Noriega

The former Panamanian dictator and CIA stooge, General Manuel Noriega, who is presently serving a 40 year jail sentence in the USA alleged that Bush, when he was CIA chief in 1976, was responsible for a bomb blast in Panama that destroyed a car owned by William Drummond, a prominent US resident of the American occupied Canal Zone. He was a vocal critic of the negotiations between the US and Panama, and the blast was said to have been "arranged" by the CIA in an attempt to perjures US residents to end their resistance to the treaty.

But by far the most serious act of terrorism alleged against the CIA, when Bush was it's chief, was the blowing up of a Cuban Airlines plane shortly after it took of from Barbados on 6th October 1976. The attack, which was claimed by a then new Cuban exile terrorist group called CORU, killed 73 people, including the entire Cuban Olympic championship fencing team.

Another assassination Bush is accused off being involved in if off Orlando Letelier and his assistant Ronni Moffit. They were murdered on September 21st, 1976, when a remote-controlled bomb ripped apart Letelier's car as they drove down Massachusetts Avenue, a stately section of Washington known as Embassy Row. Allende, the world's first democratically elected Marxist President was ousted in a bloody CIA-backed coup that lead to his assassination in 1973. The attack on Letelier was later attributed to CORU.

Within four months of forming in 1976, CORU claimed to have killed 76 people in North and South America, including Letelier. CORU were later described as a terrorist group which had "the active support of the CIA". CORU members also had close links with Chile's feared secret police, DINA, which was also implicated in the murder of Letelier. Two Cuban exiles and a US citizen were later charged with Letelier's murder.(4) Many CORU members served with the CIA's contra terrorist movement in Nicaragua. Under George Bush, the CIA leaked a false report that not only cleared Chile's military dictatorship - it pointed the FBI in the wrong direction. The bogus CIA assessment, was spread through Newsweek magazine and other American media outlets, was planted despite CIA's now admitted awareness at the time that Chile was participating in Operation Condor, a cross-border campaign targeting political dissidents, and the CIA's own suspicions that the Chilean junta was behind the terrorist bombing in Washington, according to the author Robert Parry writing on the website consortiumnews.com. In a 21-page report to Congress on September 18th 2000, the CIA officially acknowledged for the first time that the mastermind of the terrorist attack, Chilean intelligence chief Manuel Contreras, was a paid asset of the CIA. The new report was issued almost 24 years to the day after the murder Letelier and Moffitt. In the new report, the CIA also acknowledged publicly for the first time that it consulted Contreras in October 1976 about the Letelier assassination. The report added that the CIA was aware of the alleged Chilean government role in the murders and included that suspicion in an internal cable the same month.

George W Bush, the third generation of this disreputable family, is currently masquerading as the 43rd US President after stealing the 2000 election. He is little more than a glove-puppet for his daddy's old friends, in particular 'Dick' Cheyney and Donald Rumsfeld; who together have been involved in running the military-industrial conglomerate which hijacked Federal Government, since the assassination of Kennedy in the 1960's.

His crimes are ongoing; and to the list of 'executions' or state-murders conducted during his tenure as Governor of Texas, we can add countless Afghans and Iraqis- the majority of the thousands killed in the last three years being civilians. Relatives of the British military killed in Iraq, as well as the 1000 (plus and rising) GI's whose families will never see them alive again can rightly ask who makes the money, and who pays the bill.

Other 'great' American businessmen involved in the profiteering from WWII are listed in various places, on of which is here

Rockefellers' CHASE MANHATTAN bank served Nazi accounts in Paris, forclosed Jewish accounts, and after the war was involved in transferring the Reichsbank to Swiss and South American accounts. Rockefellers' ITT built important communications systems for the Nazis, and his IBM Corp. built ID machines for the holocaust (source: IBM and the Holocaust, Edwin Black, Crown Press). In 1952 John McCloy released the Nazi industrialists and gave them back their factories. IG FARBEN was divided into Bayer, Hoechst, and BASF, today among the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world
