Guardian: "How Bush's grandfather helped Hitler's rise to power"

[ruudsaurins at aol.com]

Hoy! Hoy!
     That Prescott Bush and his cronies helped finance the rise of the militaristic Third Reich has not, to my knowledge, been denied.  A more appropriate verb would be "obscured" by the "winners" who write the history books.  The issue that warrants concern is _why_ "they" would elect to invest their hard-stolen money in this fashion.  Simple profit is probably the most morally defensible reason.  The same issue is at the core of the foundation of the U.S. Federal Reserve system in 1913; just in time to lend money to a bankrupt Europe to pay for.....what?!?  
     Ezra Pound's expatriated concern over the U.S. government's involvement in such shenanigans earned him a government supported "diagnosis"  of psychiatric illness and his own internment.   The phrase "evil f**kers" comes to mind....but then, it is the U.S. of Bush and Co. who have run up record deficits denominated in currency that we mint and print.  Nice work if you can get it!  
 
                                                                             truly,
                                                                             ruud

How Bush's grandfather helped Hitler's rise to power

Rumours of a link between the US first family and the
Nazi war machine have circulated for decades. Now the
Guardian can reveal how repercussions of events that
culminated in action under the Trading with the Enemy
Act are still being felt by today's president

Ben Aris in Berlin and Duncan Campbell in Washington
Saturday September 25, 2004
The Guardian

George Bush's grandfather, the late US senator
Prescott Bush, was a director and shareholder of
companies that profited from their involvement with
the financial backers of Nazi Germany.

The Guardian has obtained confirmation from newly
discovered files in the US National Archives that a
firm of which Prescott Bush was a director was
involved with the financial architects of Nazism.

His business dealings, which continued until his
company's assets were seized in 1942 under the Trading
with the Enemy Act, has led more than 60 years later
to a civil action for damages being brought in Germany
against the Bush family by two former slave labourers
at Auschwitz and to a hum of pre-election controversy.
