Whatever. It's on the table, once again. Anyone can
carve a boneless goose. This one's skin has been
picked at and chewed on for the better part of three
years now. Well, at least we won't have to dislodge a
bone from anyone's throat.

I don't believe you want to be polite. But that's fine
with me. You may answer my questions and I will answer
your questions and we can argue the points or not.
It's up to you. If I have to keep replying to your
polite insults and rediculous questions I think I'll
move on. Pragmatism, Adams, Weiner, Entropy, so
on...your point here seems to be that I should open
the book and look at the notes. I have.

First, the article is not about how the Bush family
got its fortune from the nazis. 

Second, you are guessing wrong about the Bush family's
wealth. There is no way that the Bush family got it's
wealth from dealing with Nazis because they were
already wealthy long before the nazis had any
significant role in world affairs. 

Third, I can't account for that 750K. Can you? 
It doesn't make any sense. 
It doesn't add up. The entire mess doesn't add up.
It's stuck togethert with paste and pudding.

I know all about what he did and what his motives
were. 
He wanted to keep his businesses.  And everyone else
wanted to take them away. And they did. You seem to be
assumiong that big business in Germany was pro-Nazi,
they were not. It was at best, a strained relationship
from the get go and it got worse everyday Hitler
climbed another rung on the political ladder. Outside
Germany there was almost as much grabbing of assests
and control as inside. I think it was 1939 when he
lost  a big chunk of his assets and that set the big
money scrambling. 

Bush assets were seized in the US.  And so were the
assets of lots of  heavy duty wealthy families and
firms and businesses in America. So what? Why did
Kennedy work to get the assets returned? Because he
thought these guys were criminals?   BBH was not the
fucking mafia. It was a  White shoe. 

I'll tell you where the real story is. There is no
Nazi story. That's just spin. But what's happened
since Ike is that American politicians across the
board, this includes the Bush family, the Clintons, ou
current Mayor in NYC, and the pig that just left, have
gotton bold in your face greedy and grabby and
corrupt. Enron. Whitewater. It's not just spin. This
is a trend. We have seen it in America before and and
curiously enough, in England under George. 





You seem to rest your "spin' argument on

It's not trivial. 
Let's say, I know this stuff from the inside out.

What am I supposed to say? I think the entire book is
a sham.
