The Bush Crime Family Tree
George Walker, GW's great-grandfather, set up the takeover of the
Hamburg-America Line, a cover for I.G. Farben's Nazi espionage unit in
the United States. In Germany, I.G. Farben was most famous for putting
the gas in gas chambers; it was the producer of Zyklon B and other
gasses used on victims of the Holocaust. The Bush family was not unaware
of the nature of their investment partners. They hired Allen Dulles, the
future head of the CIA, to hide the funds they were making from Nazi
investments and the funds they were sending to Nazi Germany, rather than
divest. It was only in 1942, when the government seized Union Banking
Company assets under the Trading With The Enemy Act, that George Walker
and Prescott Bush stopped pumping money into Hitler's regime. (1)
Prescott Bush, the president's grandfather. According to classified
documents from Dutch intelligence and US government archives, President
George W. Bush's grandfather, Prescott Bush made considerable profits
off Auschwitz slave labor. In fact, President Bush himself is an heir to
these profits from the holocaust which were placed in a blind trust in
1980 by his father, former president George Herbert Walker Bush. (2) On
the 20th of October, the government commenced action against the company
under the trading with the enemy act. (3) After the seizures in late
1942 of five U.S. enterprises he managed on behalf of Nazi industrialist
Fritz Thyssen failed to divest himself of more than a dozen "enemy
national" relationships that continued until as late as 1951,
newly-discovered U.S. government documents reveal. (4) In 1952, Prescott
Bush was elected to the U.S. Senate, with no press accounts about his
well-concealed Nazi past.(5)
George Herbert Walker Bush, the presidents father. Bush, as director of
the CIA, had funneled enormous amounts of cash to drug runners including
Manuel Noriega and helped in the destabilization of Argentina. Bush
utilized his own connections to help fund drug runners from Laos to
Panama. Most shocking was the so-called "cocaine coup" in Bolivia in
June 1980, masterminded by fugitive Nazi Klaus Barbie, "The Butcher Of
Lyons." Barbie, who had been previously secreted in Latin America by the
CIA, began working closely with the Argentines and used drug money to
finance a neo-Nazi cabal, one that succeeded in overthrowing the
government. The troops swept through the capital wearing Nazi armbands,
according to former DEA agent Mike Levine. George H.W. Bush later
facilitated the Iran-contra affair, employing many of the same methods:
secretly selling Central American cocaine in America and weapons to Iran
while using the profits to fund the contras and to overthrow
democratically elected socialists in Central America.(6) as the head of
the CIA and later as Vice President, toppled democratically elected
regimes in South and Central America and began propping up a dictator by
the name of Saddam Hussein in Iraq. Although forbidden by congress to do
so, he continued to sell chemical and biological weapons to Saddam even
after he used them on villages of innocent civilians. A decade later The
United States had to go to war against him and the Bush family again,
made millions from it.
Jonathan J. Bush, the Presidents uncle. Jonathan Bush's "Pioneer
Profile" in "George W. Bush's $100,000 Club" cites him as the "head" of
the Riggs Investment Management Co.; "Bush’s uncle Jonathan ... founded
its subsidiary, J. Bush & Co., of which he is chair. He also is an
ex-chair of the New York Republican State Finance Committee. Bush
credits the investors sent his way by this banker uncle as a key to his
'success' in the Texas oil industry in the early ‘80s." (17)
Jonathan J. Bush, is a top executive at Riggs Bank, which this week
agreed to pay a record $25 million in civil fines for violations of law
intended to thwart money laundering. Jonathan Bush, who is a major
fundraiser for his nephew, was appointed in 2000 to run Riggs Investment
Management Co. His association with Riggs began when he headed J. Bush &
Co., a New Haven, Conn., company he created in 1970 and built to offer
advice on money management. (18)
According to the 5/14/04 New York Times, Federal regulators fined the
Riggs National Corporation, the parent company of Riggs Bank, $25
million yesterday for "failing to report suspicious activity, the
largest penalty ever assessed against a domestic bank in connection with
money laundering. The fine stems from Riggs's failure over at least the
last two years to actively monitor suspect financial transfers through
Saudi Arabian accounts held by the bank." The 5/14/04 Wall Street
Journal reported that of particular concern, Riggs failed to monitor
"tens of millions of dollars in cash withdrawals from accounts related
to the Saudi Arabian embassy," including "suspicious incidents involving
dozens of sequentially numbered cashier's checks and international
drafts written by Saudi officials, including Saudi Ambassador Prince
Bandar bin Sultan." According to the 4/18/04 Washington Post, Saudi
Prince Bandar's wife, Princess Haifa al-Faisal, "may have used a Riggs
account to donate money to a charity that then gave some of it to the
Sept. 11 terrorists."
(...)
According to the nonprofit Texans for Public Justice, Jonathan Bush is
the President and CEO of Riggs Investment Management - a major arm of
Riggs Bank. He is also the uncle of President George W. Bush. The
President "credits the investors sent his way by this banker uncle as a
key to his 'success' in the Texas oil industry in the early '80s."
According to Public Citizen, the uncle Jonathan was a Bush Pioneer,
having raised more than $100,000 for his nephew in 2000.(19)
Neil Bush, the president's brother. Central player of the 1980'ssavings
and loan scandal, he ran a savings and loan into the ground while
shoveling millions of its taxpayer-backed dollars into the pockets of
two deadbeat partners. Neil served as a director of Silverado Banking,
Savings and Loan in Denver, Colorado, from 1985 until 1988. During that
time, the now-dead thrift made over $200 million in loans to Neil's two
partners in JNB Exploration, Neil's abysmally unsuccessful oil company.
Federal regulators determined that, while Silverado was pumping loans to
Neil's two associates, Neil was completely dependent on the two men for
his income. The failure of Silverado -- its closure delayed until after
the 1988 election -- cost taxpayers about $1 billion. After Silverado
failed, Neil started a new oil company, Apex Energy. This time, his
money came from a $2.35 million loan through a Small Business
Administration program. When news of this reached the press in March
1991, the SBA discovered that the companies through which the loan was
approved were technically insolvent, and it gave them up to thirty
months to "self-liquidate." This meant that Apex would have to repay its
SBA-guaranteed loans. Neil took this as his cue to move on, and he left
Apex -- and its debts -- for others to worry about. (7) update: Neil
Bush made $171,370 in one day. The fact that he was a former consultant
to the company whose stock he dumped is just a coincidence
Marvin Bush, the president's brother was on the board of directors of a
company providing electronic security for the World Trade Center, Dulles
International Airport and United Airlines, according to public records.
The company was backed by an investment firm, the Kuwait-American Corp.,
also linked for years to the Bush family. The security company, formerly
named Securacom and now named Stratesec, is in Sterling, Va.. Its CEO,
Barry McDaniel, said the company had a ``completion contract" to handle
some of the security at the World Trade Center ``up to the day the
buildings fell down." The suite in which Marvin Bush was annually
re-elected, according to public records, is located in the Watergate in
space leased to the Saudi government. The company now holds shareholder
meetings in space leased by the Kuwaiti government there.(8) (9)

Jeb Bush, the president's brother. After graduating from The University
of Texas, Jeb Bush served a short apprenticeship at the Venezuelan
branch of Texas Commerce Bank in Caracas before settling in Miami, in
1980, to work on his father's unsuccessful primary bid against Ronald
Reagan. Shortly after arriving in Miami, Jeb was hired by Cuban-American
developer Armando Codina to work at his Miami development company as an
agent leasing office space. A couple of years later, Jeb and Codina
became business partners, and in 1985 they purchased an office building
in a deal partly financed by a savings and loan that later failed.The
$4.56 million loan, from Broward Federal Savings in Sunrise, Florida,
was granted in such a way that neither Codina's nor Bush's name appeared
on the loan papers as the borrowers. A third man, J. Edward Houston,
borrowed the $4.56 million from Broward and then re-lent it to the Bush
partnership. When federal regulators closed Broward Savings in 1988,
they found the loan, which had been secured by the Bush partnership, in
default. As Jeb's father was finishing his second term as vice-president
and running for the presidency, federal regulators had two options: to
get Jeb Bush and his partner to repay the loan, or to foreclose on their
office building. But regulators came up with a third solution. After
reappraising the building, regulators decided it wasn't worth as much as
was owed for it. The regulators reduced the amount owed by Bush and his
partner from $4.56 million to just $500,000. The pair paid that amount
and were allowed to keep their office building. Taxpayers picked up the
tab for the unpaid $4 million. (10)
He also rigged an election that you may have heard about. Thousands of
eligible voters were disallowed the right to vote in predominantly
democratic regions. Between May 1999 and Election Day 2000, two Florida
secretaries of state - Sandra Mortham and Katherine Harris, both
protégées of Governor Jeb Bush- ordered 57,700 "ex-felons," who are
prohibited from voting by state law, to be removed from voter rolls. (In
the thirty-five states where former felons can vote, roughly 90 percent
vote Democratic.) A company now owned by ChoicePoint of Atlanta, was
paid $4.3 million for its work, replacing a firm that charged $5,700 per
year for the same service.Two of these "scrub lists," as officials
called them, were distributed to counties in the months before the
election with orders to remove the voters named. Together the lists
comprised nearly 1 percent of Florida?s electorate and nearly 3 percent
of its African-American voters. Neither DBT nor the state conducted any
further research to verify the matches. DBT, which frequently is hired
by the F.B.I. to conduct manhunts, originally proposed using address
histories and financial records to confirm the names, but the state
declined the cross-checks. (11)
George W. Bush, second appointed president of the United States.
• 1979-83: Fifty Bush family investors and friends, led by uncle
Jonathan, a New York Republican Party official and an investment
manager, fork over $4.7 million to set up young Bush in a company called
Arbusto. It's a flop, and in 1982 gets a new name: Bush Exploration.
• 1984: Spectrum 7 Corporation, an Ohio oil exploration outfit owned by
Dubya's Yalie pal William DeWitt Jr., buys out Bush Exploration, setting
up young Bush as CEO at $75,000 a year and giving him 1.1 million shares
of the firm's stock. Another flop. The company's fortunes soon sink,
with $400,000 in losses and a debt of $3 million.
• 1986: In the nick of time, Bush and partners merge the failing
Spectrum with Harken Oil, a Dallas exploration company, with a $2
million stock purchase. Bush puts up about $500,000 and gets a $120,000
annual consulting fee along with $131,250 in stock options. Harken is a
small outfit, looking for oil opportunities within the U.S. Then out of
the blue comes Harvard Management Corporation, an investment adviser for
Harvard University's endowment portfolio. It pumps millions into the
venture.
• 1990: Although Harken has no international expertise, it gets the
attention of the Bahrain National Oil Company, which unexpectedly
appears on the scene and bypasses big oil's Amoco and Chevron to sign a
production agreement with the little Texas concern. The contract grants
Harken exclusive rights to what seems to be a promising offshore area
squeezed between two productive tracts owned by Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
The Wall Street Journal speculates Bahrain was trying to cozy up to
Daddy Bush, who was plotting an assault on Iraq after Saddam Hussein
seized Kuwait.
Bass Enterprises Production Company finances the Bahrain drilling with
$25 million, and Harvard Management raises its investment. A couple of
members of the Fort Worth Bass family have places on Team 100, an elite
business group contributing to the Republican National Committee.
In June, Harken drills two dry holes in Bahrain. The future looks bleak.
Dubya dumps two-thirds of his Harken holdings (212,140 shares), for
$848,560. He uses some of this money to buy into the Texas Rangers
baseball club. This is a lot of stock to dump on the market all at once,
and brokers say it was purchased by an unnamed institutional investor.
That August, Harken posts a loss of $23 million.
• January 1991: Daddy Bush attacks Iraq.
• February 1991: Dubya, as the official in charge at Harken, reports his
big stock sale to the SEC—eight months late.
• April 1991: The SEC begins an investigation into Harken dealings.
Chairman Richard Breeden, who had been appointed by the senior Bush and
served him as an economic policy adviser, hails from Baker & Botts, a
big Texas oil law firm where he was a partner. Inside the SEC, James
Doty, general counsel and the official in charge of any litigation that
might come out of the Harken investigation, is another alumnus of Baker
& Botts. And as a private attorney, before joining the government, Doty
represented the younger Bush in matters related to Dubya's ownership of
the Rangers.
• 1993: The SEC ends its Harken investigation following perfunctory
interviews.
The good people of Baker & Botts continued looking out for Shrub. Since
1993, Breeden, Doty, and other lawyers there have given him $182,050 for
his various political campaigns, making the firm one of his biggest
supporters.(12)
Upon appointment as president, Bush appoints 6 Iran-contra defendants to
his staff, (13) fills the upper levels of the White house and pentagon
with senior members of the PNAC (14) including his speech writer, chief
advisor, secretary of defense, and vice president. Uses the terrorist
attacks of 9-11 (16) to illegally invade and occupy Iraq under the false
pretense of imminent threat (15) and reaps billions for Cheney's
Halliburton, Rumsfeld's Bechtel, and his own family's Carlyle group.
newsweek article on Bush/Nazi connection
“Bush - Nazi Dealings Continued Until 1951ö - Federal Documents
Karl Rove's grandfather was Karl Heinz Roverer, the Gauleiter of
Oldenburg. Roverer was Reich-Statthalter---Nazi State Party
Chairman---for his region. He was also a partner and senior engineer in
the Roverer Sud-Deutche Ingenieurburo A. G. engineering firm, which
built the Birkenau death camp,
Still, that's ancient history. Surely bush wouldn't be repeating the
actions of fascist dictators. Or would he?
