HOW THE AMERICAN DREAM ENDOWED THE NAZI NIGHTMARE.


Some will say, it's old history, and we Americans have no history. So who cares? Others will try to gather brainspice... Read on, then, should you want to spice your life...

George Herbert Walker And Prescott Bush, and many other American plutocrats, funded and directed the military industrial complex propelling Adolf Hitler and the Nazi regime. Clear enough: in 1923, Germany was completely broke, except for the mysterious Adolf Hitler, yesterday a corporal, now the very rich head of the suddenly immensely wealthy Nazi party. Behind him, in his luxurious Munich hotel, a gigantic portrait of Henry Ford. In the lobby, free copies of the "International Jew". A private army of SS, experienced soldiers armed to the teeth with the latest weapons, was at the ready.

The grandfather of President George Walker Bush (Skull & Bones, 1968) was Prescott Bush (Skull & Bones, 1917), and his great grand father was George Herbert Walker. Prescott Bush and George Herbert (Bert) Walker were directors of the London-affiliated New York banking house of Brown Brothers-Harriman and its various fronts, which funded and directed part of the military-industrial complex behind Hitler and the Nazi revolution.

In 1919, George Herbert Walker had organized W.A. Harriman & Co which merged with the British Brown Brothers in 1931. In 1924, Averell Harriman (Skull & Bones, 1913) and Fritz Thyssen, the German industrialist who began funding Hitler in 1923, set up the Union Banking Corp in New York to handle funds supplied to it through Thyssen's Dutch bank for American investment. Prescott Bush, who had been an officer of the W.A. Harriman bank since 1926, was a director of the Union Banking Corp from 1934 through 1943. According to government documents, "all of the shares of the Union Banking Corp., were held for the benefit of members of the Thyssen family".

And so on... Thyssen wrote a book in 1940:"I paid Hitler". The preceding is an extremely small part of the Americano-Nazi story. There were many other parts, all united by the same theme: some of the greediest American plutocrats, on Wall Street and even places such as Detroit, played more than enough of a role to tip Germany into Nazism.

All indications are that Henry Ford, an immensely wealthy car maker, and adulated racist author of "The International Jew", was an early financial backer of Hitler (the subject does not seem to have been as explored as it deserves by scholars). That gave Hitler a private army, great renown, and the capability for a (failed) coup in 1923.

The Hamburg-Amerika Line, seized by the US government as a war trophy in 1919, was given free to friendly US plutocrats (of the type who go in and out of government, "serving" inside, and serving themselves outside, a tradition to this day). It was the largest shipping line in the world, and said capitalists used it to smuggle American firearms to the Nazis while they conducted a civil war inside Germany, in spite of the blockade organized by the Weimar Republik. That American armed civil war killed more than 10,000 anti-Nazis in 1932 alone. It gave us the picturesque sentence uttered by a top Nazi: "When I hear the word "Kultur", I pull out my Browning". (At the time "Browning" was a famous American revolver.)

Prescott Bush managed several war companies directly for Hitler (Hitler was his boss), including the most important, the American-Silesian corporation (even after Hitler had nationalized it). Bush was compensated in 1953, founding the Bush family fortune.

Verily, understanding Hitler without understanding Wall Street and racist American industrialists such as Henry Ford, is a struggle in vain. Wall Street created the super monopoly called IG Farben (of Auschwitz fame). American-Silesian used Auschwitz slaves (even six months after Hitler had declared war on the USA, Bush kept managing the A-S corporation).

IBM had the monopoly of computing in the Reich (see "IBM and the Holocaust"). It was managed from New York in its daily operation, through Geneva, throughout the war. None of the 35 IBM factories in Hitler's Reich was damaged enough to stop operations, because US pilots were given strict instructions to avoid bombing them.

Standard Oil ("Exxon") gave the synthetic rubber and oil processes to Hitler (crucial to turn around the Franco-British sea blockade), Texaco gave Hitler the fuel to conquer Spain, the Ethyl Corporation of America flew in airplane fuel crucial anti knock compounds desperately needed as early as September 1939 while Hitler fought the entire Polish army and 45 French divisions, Nazi armor, magnesium bombs and automatic pilots for Stukas or Ford engines for superiority fighters were all, well, American, and so on.

Oh yes the USA did not send one cartridge to France in May-June 1940, during the Battle of France the Western front deadliest battle (more than 185,000 soldiers killed), but was the first and only country (besides the fascist ones) to recognize the illegal and unconstitutional Vichy regime (established under Nazi occupation). During Nazi occupation, thousands of Nazi-American companies called themselves Nazi, and conquered Europe. As Nazis went up in smoke, they called themselves American, and said they freed Europe. Maybe not a good deed, but sure a good deal.

One can call that set of observations anti-American, if one wishes, but, true, reality is pretty anti-American these days, I must admit. Maybe it should be racially excluded.

Fuller versions of some of this drift are found on my old site, Tyranosopher.

Some will say, it's old history, and we Americans have no history. So who cares? Others will try to gather brainspice... So let them know that the story did not stop there. Satisfied from their Hitler trick, the Empire Builders tried to repeat similar ones. Empire Builders such as the Dulles brothers, lawyers of more than 100 Nazi companies, heads of the OSS and the CIA, and the State Department (and true US president under Eisenhower) employed Nazis such as Klaus Barbie (who tortured to death more than 4,000 French adults) to set up a profitable drug trading system in South America to finance the USA's black operations (by selling drugs to the US population). Barbie was much later arrested in Bolivia by French services, and condemned to life for the deliberate murder of 42 non French small Jewish children (crime against mankind, no prescription). The same Empire Builders created Muslim Fundamentalism, using it to gain control, for a while of many Middle East countries, including Egypt, Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan (in chronological order). We know how this is a gift that keeps on giving.
