How many "literal" Nazis are running the Bush/Republican Party?

[wcepler]

After WW2, members of the Nazi Party were scattered all over the earth. Argentina was probably the most high profile country which harbored quantities of Nazis, but many other international countries willingly (money talks) provided cover for the toxic residue of the 3rd Reich.

We have the Israeli's to thank for tracking down many of these monsters, but even their awesome (and understandably passionate!) intelligence capabilities couldn't get them all.


Granted, many years have elapsed since 1945, but it's a near certainty that lots of arthritic goose steppers are still around, keeping alive and (more importantly) rejuvenating the Satanic-like agendas of the 20th Century's Heart of Darkness.

Which now brings us to that turgid period in the history of the Bush Royal Family, when high level business transactions took place between Fritz Thyssen (German industrialist and original backer of Adolf Hitler) and Skull and Bones members, Prescott S. Bush and E. R. Harriman.

Multitudes of responsibly researched articles about additional Bush/Nazi interactions are available, so here's a brief sample from the historically timely Zanesville Signal, Zanesville Ohio, on Thursday, July 31, 1941:

************************************************************************
Thyssen Funds Found in U.S.

New York (INS) Existence of a $3,000,000 fund established here by Fritz Thyssen, German Industrialist and original backer of Adolf Hitler was disclosed today in a news story in the New York Journal American.
(break)
Whether the money is for Thyssen personally, or, perhaps, for some of his high placed Nazi friends in the event of an "emergency" compelling them to leave Germany, no one knew.
(break)
The money exists in funds of the Union Banking Corporation; an investment company incorporated and licensed under New York state laws in August, 1924
Money for its $400,000 capital stock came from Thyssen's bank, Voor Handel En Scheepvaart in Rotterdam.
Among members of its board of directors are E. R. Harriman, Ray Morris and Prescott S. Bush, partners in the firm of Brown Brothers, Harriman, and company, of which W. Averill Harriman is now American minister plenipotentiary to England.

************************************************************************
Prescott S. Bush, of course, is our president's grandfather and both he and Harriman were members of the now infamous Skull and Bones "club" at Yale. This news clip from that time is the tip, merely, of an iceberg of subsequent journalistic investigations into the public relationship between the Bush Family and the emerging 3rd Reich.

However, the more comprehensive question before us is (1.) is the Nazi Party really "dead", and (2.) if, not, how deeply do their tendrils reach into the heart of our Constitutional Republic? The nature of the Bush/Nazi relationship is a separate (although clearly imperative) question.

Over and over again we see uncanny similarities between Bush/Republicans and neo Nazis. Certainly, their MO is identical. Propaganda to the max and nationalistic/religious fanaticism blended into corporate dictatorship and totalitarianism. In short, EXACTLY, the thing the war to end all wars was supposed to scourge from our planet.

When the shoe fits so perfectly, you have to wonder how much is it is still being made by Gestapo shoe makers.

1. Well, Prescott Bush was a Nazi

And Herbert Walker

But they're dead

2. Are you sure?

They may have been reanimated.

3. Theory of "the Underground Reich"

"...combined interests of primarily German chemical and heavy industry, plus banking and finance of the early 20th century, having facilitated Hitler's rise to power and armed the Third Reich, survived the war as an increasingly well-moneyed part of the global capital elite. Just as individual German and Japanese war criminals, collaborators, businessmen and military and government officials had escaped retribution to find refuge and patronage under the U.S. mantle of anti-Communism during the Cold War, so had these interests regenerated and revitalized themselves within Western military and intelligence institutions, as well as in political parties and multinational corporations. Thus, as described by Emory, "The Underground Reich" represents an obscure, sinister, yet characteristic trait of global capitalism itself.

"While critics of capitalism, conservativism, libertarianism and globalism often see a linear progression from those positions to fascism, Emory and his adherents regard many of the protagonists as literally Nazis, with the anti-Semitic, racial, and religious overtones that go with Nazism. Emory has discussed strong evidence that Nazi (and perhaps CIA) elements conspired with Palestinians to orchestrate the Munich Massacre. Emory decries the theory of peak oil, expressing scepticism about the analysis behind the theory, noting some of its proponents' advocacy of genocide, and the movement's historical and economic links with the Thyssen industrial empire and European royalists."

4. Ah Dave Emory - an amazing researcher!

Which of course scares me - because everything he says is documented, and terrifying.

5. How many "literal" Nazis?

6. I sincerely doubt it

The continuation of the mentality isn't really a nazi party, that was just a name with a compatible nationalist agenda. Their methods and mentality existed before they took over germany, and before germany the nation ever existed. They're called rightists, and they will always have the mentality of domination at all costs with not a shred of empathy or decency. Psychologists have labeled them sociopaths. As long as there is a tollerance of sociopaths there will be nazi like groups, and unfortunately there are many that identify with a parallel of the nazi nationalist agenda today in the US. They are are the corporatists, and the political party that they own is called the republican party. They will never identify themselves as nazi.

7. One genuine fascist, at least

Michael Leeden, who seems to be fanning the flames against Iran.

8. We brought 1500 into the US after WWII -- they got high profile jobs

in NASA, the CIA, etc. The film, Arsenal of Hypocrisy, enumerates the details. Excellent film btw.

10. Operation Paperclip

Worth learning about, if you haven't read about it before.

Here's Wikipedia's take:
Operation Paperclip

9. Here's a book that details how Nazis were brought

into the US after WWII who then became active in right wing and Republican politics, often in the guise of ethnic politicking.

Old Nazis, the New Right, and the Republican Party: Domestic fascist networks and their effect on U.S. cold war politics (Hardcover)
by Russ Bellant (Author)

From Library Journal
Bellant convincingly documents three arguments in this short, journalistic book. First, many people who had been active in Nazi or pro-Nazi groups in Eastern Europe in the 1930s and 1940s subsequently came to this country, often under the auspices of the Displaced Persons Commission. Second, many of these emigres then became active in political and ethnic groups affiliated with the Republican Party, providing financial and electoral support and crusading relentlessly against Communism. Third, and most important, some of the most unsavory elements of the anti-Communist right gained a foothold in official foreign policy circles under Reagan. Bellant's case is strong and disturbing, but his book is terribly organized, and the meaningful arguments are mixed in with overstated claims (especially the suggestions of a fascist conspiracy) and charges based only on political disagreement, not malfeasance. An optional purchase.
