In Light of IBM, Will GW Bush Admit His Own Nazi Connection?

Now that IBM, one of Americas' most respected corporations, has been exposed as an enthusiastic ally of Nazi Germany whose technology helped make the Holocaust possible it seems timely to ask, when will GW Bush publicly deal with his families' numerous links to the Third Reich? [1]

The Bush family and IBM are in good company. Among the many corporations and famous American individuals with their own direct link to Nazi Germany were Henry Ford, JP Morgan, Dupont, Mellon, Allen Dulles (America's first CIA director), John Foster Dulles (President Eisenhower's Secretary of State), Charles Lindbergh, William Randolph Hearst, Alcoa Aluminum, Rockefellers' Standard Oil (now Exxon), General Motors, ITT and Chase Manhattan Bank. [2]

For these corporations and individuals this was not simply a matter of having an investment in a German subsidiary. Some of these corporate heads met repeatedly with Hitler and his closest advisors, contributed millions of dollars to help establish the Nazi party and in some cases - such as the Bush and Rockefeller families - continued to channel money and advanced technology to the Nazis even after the US entered WWII.

Some of these corporations, like Chase Manhattan Bank, have publicly apologized for their Nazi connection. Others have acknowledged but not apologized for it. In the case of the Bush family they have neither acknowledged nor apologized for it. [3]

In the case of our new President the connection is not limited to an embarrassing episode of WWII history. His father, former President Bush, was exposed in 1988 for having numerous former Nazis and Nazi sympathizers in his Presidential campaign. GW Bush's corporate cabinet prominently features representatives of many of the same companies that were Hitler's biggest American supporters, like Alcoa and GM. His appointees have numerous direct ties to racist organizations like the Pioneer Fund which helped write both the US and Nazi eugenics laws and to modern day eugenicists like Charles Murray, author of the Bell Curve. Bush's entire domestic agenda, the absurdly named, "compassionate conservatism", was invented by the CIA's Manhattan Institute a right wing think tank founded by former CIA director William Casey who helped bring thousands of former Nazis to the US following WWII. The Bell Curve was written while Murray was a fellow at the Manhattan Institute and he continues to lecture there to this day. [4]

It is understandable that the media, which depends on corporate ads for their livelihood, is not falling over itself to expose these Nazi ties but in light of the IBM story isn't it time to let all of this dirty laundry be aired once and for all?

If IBM can be forced to come clean, can the US President hide his own far more extensive links to Nazi Germany any longer? The American people have a right to know.

"If America loses this war," said Secretary of the Interior (Harold) Ickes, June 26, 1941, "it can thank the Aluminum Corporation of America." "By its cartel agreement with I.G. Farben, controlled by Hitler," writes Seldes, "Alcoa sabotaged the aluminum program of the U.S. air force. The Truman Committee (on National Defense, chaired by then- Senator Harry S. Truman in 1942) heard testimony that Alcoa's representative, A.H. Bunker, head of the aluminum section of O.P.M., prevented work on our $600,000,000 aluminum expansion program."

"A clique of U.S. industrialists is hell-bent to bring a fascist state to supplant our democratic government and is working closely with the fascist regime in Germany and Italy. I have had plenty of opportunity in my post in Berlin to witness how close some of our American ruling families are to the Nazi regime. . .Certain American industrialists had a great deal to do with bringing fascist regimes into being in both Germany and Italy. They extended aid to help Fascism occupy the seat of power, and they are helping to keep it there." - William E.

Chase Banked On Nazis -
Report: Chase National Bank " . . . the precursor of today's Chase Manhattan Bank " allegedly helped the Nazis plunder Jewish property in France during World War II, according to a published report.
The New York-based bank controlled by the Rockefeller family closed Jewish accounts even before the Germans ordered them to do so and did business with the Nazis while they were sending Jews to the gas chambers, Newsweek magazine reports in this week's edition.
And while the U.S. was at war with the Nazis, Chase also apparently helped German banks do business with their overseas branches, the magazine reported.
Chase Manhattan is now the largest bank company in the U.S. with more than $300 billion in assets...lawyers representing Holocaust survivors...intend to name Chase Manhattan to their lawsuit and are investigating the wartime role of another big U.S. bank, J.P. Morgan, the magazine reported. While many other U.S. businesses and banks closed down their Paris operations after France fell to the Germans, Chase National remained open and even thrived.
The relationship between Chase and the Nazis apparently was so cozy that Carlos Niedermann, the Chase branch chief in Paris, wrote his supervisor in Manhattan that the bank enjoyed "very special esteem" with top German officials and "a rapid expansion of deposits," according to Newsweek. Niedermann's letter was written in May 1942 " five months after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and the U.S. also went to war with Germany."

TRIUMPHS, TROUBLES SHAPE GENERATIONS
PRESCOTT BUSH PAVED MODERATE PATH FOR SON AND GRANDSON;
WOUNDED BY FRIEND'S BETRAYAL,
HE PUT HIGH PRICE ON LOYALTY
By Michael Kranish, Globe Staff
Date: 04/23/2001 Page: A1 Section: National/Foreign
AN AMERICAN DYNASTY Last of two parts "Prescott Bush was surely aghast at a sensational article the New York Herald Tribune splashed on its front page in July 1942. "Hitler's Angel Has 3 Million in US Bank," read the headline above a story reporting that Adolf Hitler's financier had stowed the fortune in Union Banking Corp., possibly to be held for "Nazi bigwigs."

Bush knew all about the New York bank: He was one of its seven directors. If the Nazi tie became known, it would be a potential "embarrassment," Bush and his partners at Brown Brothers Harriman worried, explaining to government regulators that their position was merely an unpaid courtesy for a client. The situation grew more serious when the government seized Union's assets under the Trading with the Enemy Act, the sort of action that could have ruined Bush's political dreams.

As it turned out, his involvement wasn't pursued by the press or political opponents during his Senate campaigns a decade later. But the episode may well have been one of the catalysts for a dramatic change in his life. Just as the Union Banking story broke, Bush volunteered to be chairman of United Service Organizations, putting himself on the national stage for the first time. He traveled the country raising millions of dollars to help boost the morale of US troops during World War II, enhancing his stature in a way that helped him get elected US senator. A son and grandson would become presidents."

Secret Files Show U.S. Used Nazis
By DAVE GOLDINER Daily News Staff Writer
Thousands of pages of top-secret U.S. files on Nazi leaders reveal intense Western efforts to recruit Nazi war criminals - and a fascinating psychological portrait of Adolf Hitler.

Adolf Hitler The new information about Hitler comes in a 1944 CIA memo quoting an informant who says he struck up a conversation with the Fuhrer's personal physician seven years earlier - and the doctor predicted then Hitler could become "the craziest criminal the world ever saw."

The comments were reportedly made by German surgeon Ferdinand Sauerbruch who spoke about Hitler's growing megalomania at dinner party in 1937.

"Sauerbruch ... stated that from close observation of Hitler for many years, he had formed the opinion that the Nazi leader was a border case between genius and insanity and that ... the decision would take place in the near future whether Hitler's mind would swing toward the latter," the memo said.

Months later, the doctor said Hitler's "swing toward insanity had taken place," according to the informant.

The document is among 10,000 pages of CIA files about the Nazis declassified yesterday - and released during a news conference at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington.

Josef Mengele The documents show that high-ranking Nazis - including death doctor Josef Mengele and Adolf Eichmann - were coddled by American and Soviet spymasters as World War II ended.

"The real winners of the Cold War were Nazi criminals," Justice Department official Eli Rosenbaum said. "East and West became so rapidly focused on challenging each other that they lost their will to pursue Nazi perpetrators. They even deemed some of the criminals to be useful allies."

The Nazi files were declassified under the terms of the Nazi War Crimes Disclosure Act of 2000.

They paint a disturbing portrait of postwar Europe, in which nearly a dozen top Nazis bought their freedom by peddling intelligence to the CIA's predecessor or the Russian KGB.

"The United States of America retained Nazi war criminals, and there will be no question about it," said Thomas Baer, who worked with the CIA to pull the documents from long-forgotten files.

The documents also indicated that American intelligence chief Allen Dulles conducted secret negotiations in Switzerland with Nazi war criminals.

Heinrich Mueller The Nazis later used the high-level contact with Dulles, who later became CIA director, to slip through the fingers of Nazi hunters after the war.

The files included plenty of previously unknown details about Hitler's top lieutenants, including Mengele, Eichmann, Gestapo chief Heinrich Mueller, and Klaus Barbie, the Gestapo chief in occupied Lyon, France.

As the war wound down, the Americans made little effort to pursue Eichmann, one of the key architects of the final solution, until 1959, when Israeli agents captured him for trial.

Former UN Secretary Kurt Waldheim, who was accused of Nazi wartime atrocities, also turns up in the files. Scholars say there is no evidence he cooperated with American intelligence, although he may have dealt with the Russians.

"The fund raising arm of the Free Europe Committee was The Crusade for Freedom for which a young actor named Ronald Reagan was a leading spokesman and publicist. The Crusade for Freedom was used to launder money to support a program run by Bill Casey, the future CIA director, called the International Refugee Committee in New York, which allegedly coordinated the exfiltration of Nazis from Germany to the United States where they were expected to assist the government in fighting Communism...[pg 142]...The Ford Foundation gave $500,000 to Bill Casey's International Rescue Committee and substantial grants to another CIA front, the World Assembly of Youth...the convergence between the Rockefeller billions and the U.S. government exceeded even that of the Ford Foundation ."
