- iching, on 11/30/2007, -14/+150Many people also don't know how General Motors and Standard Oil (exxon) helped Hitler achieve his dreams of unleashing his blitzkriegs. Some of the same characters aligned with the Prescott.
To conceal American ownership and reinforce the masquerade that Opel stood as a purely Aryan enterprise, Sloan and Mooney, beginning in 1934, concocted the concept of a “Directorate,” comprised of prominent German personalities, including several with Nazi Party membership. This created what GM officials variously termed a “camouflage” or “a false facade” of local management. But the decisions were made in America. GM as the sole stockholder controlled Opel’s board and the corporate votes.
Among the decisions made in America beginning in about 1935 was the one transferring to Germany the technology to produce the modern gasoline additive tetraethyl lead, commonly called “ethyl,” or leaded gasoline. This allowed the Reich to boost octane that provided better automotive performance by eliminating disruptive engine pings and jolts. Better performance meant a faster and more mobile fighting force — just what the Reich would ultimately need for its swift and mobile Blitzkrieg.
As early as 1934, however, America’s War Department was apprehensive about the transfer of such proprietary chemical processes. In late December 1934, as GM was considering building leaded gasoline plants for Hitler, DuPont Company board director Irenee du Pont wrote to Sloan: “Of course, we in the DuPont Company have always recognized the propriety and desirability of closely cooperating with the War Department of the United States. …In any case, I know that word has gone to the War Department and have the impression that they would be adverse to disclosure of knowledge which would aid Germany in preparing that chemical.” The profits were simply not worth it, argued du Pont.

- crazybugger, on 11/30/2007, -7/+91Same people funding both sides of war!
- aeric67, on 11/30/2007, -8/+63George W Bush is a turd because of his own actions, not because of his grandpa.
- wakananda, on 11/30/2007, -2/+43This cannot be repeated enough. Profit is the driving force behind modern warfare. Young lives, the health of the environment, mean nothing in comparison.
- rpi22, on 11/30/2007, -21/+60Finally made it past the bury brigade!!
- inactive, on 11/30/2007, -10/+46here's bush senior with his buddies in skullnbones: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Skull_and_Cross ...
- slstudios, on 11/30/2007, -2/+35I don't think "everybody" knows, but this info has been public for a very long time. It just never reaches the mass public like America Idol.
- grow4road, on 11/30/2007, -8/+40old news. but at least its getting out. just watch zeitgiest.
- toxicityj, on 11/30/2007, -18/+49and some of the geniuses that made NASA and rockets as we known them at one point helped hitler create his WMDs. Doesn't make their grandkids nazis.
- AQMessiah, on 11/30/2007, -23/+52If anybodies interested in a documentary about this sort of stuff check out Zeitgeist. I'm not affiliated with them but it is quite an incredible documentary. Link is straight to it, free on Google.Video.
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5547481422 ... - iching, on 11/30/2007, -7/+35Yeah, that story comes up on CNN, MSNBC and Faux all the time. "Everyone" knows that.
- FriskDown, on 11/30/2007, -5/+29So what else is new?
- Jmuduke, on 11/30/2007, -18/+41Everyone who's been paying attention knows this already. It's the mass population who's too braindead watching Dancing with the Stars and looking at paparazzi pictures of celebrity vaginas who don't know about it. If the mainstream media did it's job and actually reported HUGE stories like this then our country wouldn't be in such bad shape. In a way, the mass media is almost worse than the people committing these atrocities. There are evil people yes, but they can only thrive as long as their activities remain hidden. And the fact that the mass media is complicit in covering their asses, they're no better. I only wonder what kind of leverage these conglomerates have on all of the news agencies to keep them so afraid of speaking the truth. I can only hope that one day they will come to their senses and blow the lid off of all of the information that is being kept secret, which I'd imagine by now is quite alot since they've been covering up the truth for the better part of 50 years.
- rpi22, on 11/30/2007, -5/+28Prescott also helped Nazi war criminals flee to South America and hide their assets. He made all sorts of political connections from his Nazi friends that later helped his son and grandson attain the presidency. George Herbert Walker was Prescott's Nazi father in law. The two presidents were named after a Nazi!
- lewhich, on 11/30/2007, -3/+26Don't forget IBM
- isellmacs, on 11/30/2007, -1/+22To play devils advocate, i'm impressed by the length and depth of information you were able to glean from this comment.
From a simple statement about being buried, you have determined this poster to be stupid, an anarchist, and somehow feels that everybody in life is out to get him and bury him specifically.
All I got from reading his statement was that there was a force attempting to bury this story, which given the nature of the story, is pretty much a certainty regardless of who posts it.
It's pretty easy to see from personal observation that stories that are inconvient to certain agendas get dugg down. This includes liberals digging down stories that hurt their crew, not just stuff that makes Bush look bad. - orangester, on 11/30/2007, -10/+28Hahahaha.
It's too damn scary/funny to be true.
But it is.
I guess evil and stupidity run in that family. - dehnomac, on 11/30/2007, -6/+20How soon we forget. How about ol' Joe Kennedy and his support of Hitler's eugenics program and also wanted it to be implemented in the US. Fond memories of Camelot.
- MrBogard, on 11/30/2007, -2/+15This isn't exactly news. The article is very old, and people have known about Prescott Bush's past for a long time now, probably since well before this Bush took office. It's nice that more people are paying attention now though. It's a little depressing that it takes so much to open some peoples eyes though. This country needed people to pay attention long before 2006 rolled around. While I'm pretty discouraged by the democratic parties performance in congress, I'm just as upset with the people who waited until 2006 to get angry enough to demand change. Where the ***** was all this energy in 2004 when we needed it?
- DavidYeah, on 11/30/2007, -5/+18Prescott Bush and wealthy industrialists were very interested in bringing the efficiency of fascism to America, and wanted ot overthrow the socialist-esque Roosevelt presidency in order to do so.
- mithrasinvictus, on 11/30/2007, -1/+14You mean like his plot to overthrow FDR?
- lewhich, on 11/30/2007, -3/+16digg this people! ... a mind is a terrible thing to waste ... I've always told people the central bank, IMF etc are a bunch of unconstitutional hoodlums
- lewhich, on 11/30/2007, -0/+12IBM and the Holocaust
http://www.ibmandtheholocaust.com/ - manfromfuture, on 11/30/2007, -3/+15Wow, this article is from 2004. It didn't really cause problems getting him re-elected.
- isellmacs, on 11/30/2007, -4/+16Sins of the father should not be passed to the son.
Now if the Son is using those ill-gotten funds to perpetuate the views of the father, then he has commited his own sins. This is especially relivant when dealing with a dynastic family such as the Bush family.
When you have a family of artistocratic, rich and upper-class elite who are/were also involved in politics in highly corrupt manners through 3 generations, it's pure and utter madness to completely discount the correlation. - alittleroy101, on 11/30/2007, -2/+13IBM is one of the worst offendors of aiding the enemy. What was the title of that book that came a while back detailing how awful they were?
- ThinkFr33ly, on 11/30/2007, -3/+14Wow, you totally missed the point, didn't you?
These survivors aren't suing the Bush family claiming they were Nazis. They are suing them saying that their family fortune, and therefore power, are DIRECTLY DERIVED from their support of the Nazi war machine. In other words, the Bush family shouldn't get to keep the money that resulted from their illegal dealings with the Nazis. - inactive, on 11/30/2007, -0/+11dear the Bush family is one of the most corrupt families in the world, not only were they connected to hitler, but they are also close personal friends with the bin ladins. you people who refuse to look honestly at the situation are really affecting any progress we could have. these reports are all out there for the world to see, note and take action, but people seem to lose their will when faced with proof. is your power taken away? no, you can still speak up and i suggest you use that right while it is still here. One thing you cannot deny is that Bush has the most Nazi like policies of any president ever. Seems the influence has carried throught the generations as well as the money.
- Crosshare, on 11/30/2007, -1/+12It's relevant because this is what built the fortune that funded two of our last three most recent presidents. Disturbing indeed.
- SpacePoet, on 11/30/2007, -3/+13Oh really, and which parts do you think were *****? Personally I thought many parts of the movie were very insightful and thought provoking.
- OSURoss, on 11/30/2007, -4/+14Where's your support for that claim?
- SiNN4R, on 11/30/2007, -3/+13State run capitalism is not capitalism. Its pyramid scheme that funds endless war. Government is responsible for millions upon millions of deaths.
- atruskot, on 11/30/2007, -12/+22Worthwhile note: This article was written Saturday September 25, 2004.
- hunnybee38, on 11/30/2007, -6/+16Attempt??????????????? WOWO.. you are a minority! If you are spending time here... take a few hours out of your day and go learn! Some great links here to start with.
GET your head out of the sand. Strength is in education. If you have some REAL comments then, I will be willing to read them. - inactive, on 11/30/2007, -0/+9ANARCHISTS!!! you guys don't even get your groups right when you try to insult us. just so you know being called an anarchist is not insulting. as rpi22 points out, there is good company with those people.
- BelXul, on 12/01/2007, -0/+9Herbert Hoover had personally called Prescott out as a Nazi. I know that Hoover can be called a lot of things, but stupid isn't one of them.
- inactive, on 11/30/2007, -1/+10it doesn't take away from the fact that bush's family had/has nazi ties. what exactly are you saying here? that because it is from 2004 and we are in supposed "peace talks" that this article has no validity? this is the problem with people these days. right here you have some major facts presented to you about our president and his family ties that are not only treasonous but illegal and immoral, but all that is said by you and others is "it's old" or "i don't like the guardian" all that is bull-*****. when you are given information like this, what do you do with it? you are supposed to get angry and tell people about it and try to get something changed, this apathy that you have is killing our world. grow up and get mad and do something to help our country. we are under attack and it is no coincidence that bush is where he is now. everything that is happening today relates directly to what is being said in this article. where do you think all the nazi scientists went? our state department is the fourth reich. research it. your whole "jews control....." arguement is stupid. of course israeli/zionist government officials are corrupt and racist, much like our right-wing/christian/neo-con government officials that are working with them.
jen - tHePeOPle, on 11/30/2007, -1/+10I've found that Christians behaving in a hypocritical manor tend to promote hate against Christians more than anything else.
- dbs1221, on 12/01/2007, -0/+9Einstein did his research for the good of man kind, for energy, for understanding, for science. He was against the Manhattan Project and wrote a letter to Truman advising him not to use nuclear warheads.
in case you've never heard it
"I know not what weapons World War III will be fought with, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones"- Einstein - inactive, on 11/30/2007, -0/+9good thing his descendants arent in control of the u.s. so they could try to set up fascist dictatorship here... oh wait
- rpi22, on 11/30/2007, -1/+10This is not really in response to iching, im just trying to put this where people can see it. I am responding to a number of very negative and threatening comments. While it is true that guilt by association is a logical fallacy and that you cant hold Bush jr accountable for his grandfather, he can and must be held accountable for his own actions. The simple fact of the matter is that Prescott Bush got in pretty tight with some fascist wall street bankers. These connections helped him WIN A SENATE SEAT!! These same connections HELPED HIS SON AND GRANDSON GET INTO OFFICE!!! If it hadn't been for all of the money and power the Bush family attained from the Nazis, none of them would have gotten into office. PERIOD! This piece of history is very important as it played a vital role in the Bush family dynasty!
- inactive, on 11/30/2007, -2/+10WTF?!
- 11oops, on 11/30/2007, -1/+9first time I saw it. I must've missed that day in class.... err wait.
- lewhich, on 11/30/2007, -0/+8If their grandkids are still working for the nazis, then yes.
BTW: Most of the engineers who made NASA (project 10 years into research) escaped (or were stolen) from NAZI Germany. - rpi22, on 11/30/2007, -3/+11Many philistines incorrectly associate anarchism with chaos, violence, disorder, and lawlessness. This couldnt be further from the truth. Anarchism is a very highly refined political philosophy based upon morals and ethics, unlike statism. Anarchism holds as it's ideal Freedom, Liberty, and Equality. If you are unaware that democracy is a form of anarchism, and anarchism a form of democracy... Well, then you're stupider than you sound.
- cambob76, on 11/30/2007, -0/+7He's a bigger turd because of his own actions AND his Naza grampa.
- ThinkFr33ly, on 11/30/2007, -3/+10But he would never have become President, and completely ***** up this country, if it wasn't for the fact that his grandpa helped the Nazis and made a crap load of money doing so.
- BelXul, on 12/01/2007, -0/+7Standard Oil also had a hand in helping the Nazi war machine. Apparently much of the Luftwaffe could not fly without a proprietary additive in the fuel owned by Standard Oil due to the engineering involved in their planes. Does anyone really think that was just a coincidence?
- lpmiller, on 11/30/2007, -12/+19My grandfather worked for Al Capone, big deal. It's not the sins of the grandfather we should be worried about, but the sins of the sons
