8. The ADL understands the allure of money

stereotyping are we?

3. Absolutely took my peace of mind away. Once again this

week I will have to quote Helen Thomas, "Where is everybody?" The piece of information that I found interesting is JP Morgan, and the Bush family connection. How JP Morgan was just involved in a banking bailout/buyout of Bears and Stearns two days after Eliot Spitzer has to resign. The guy,Eliot Spitzer, who was investigating the banking scandals.

4. Buchanan is a nut

and the ADL has called bullshit on this whole conspiracy theory.

About Buchanan.

"Buchanan suffers from hypermania, a form of manic depression, and when he found himself rebuffed in his initial efforts to interest the media, he responded with a series of threats against the journalists and media outlets that had spurned him. The threats, contained in e-mails, suggested that he would expose the journalists as "traitors to the truth".

Unsurprisingly, he soon had difficulty getting his calls returned. Most seriously, he faced aggravated stalking charges in Miami, in connection with a man with whom he had fallen out over the best way to publicise his findings. The charges were dropped last month."

Isn't that the standard procedure these days?


Newly Unclassified US Documents: Bush Ancestor's Bank Seized by Gov't

By Jonathon D. Salant
Associated Press

Friday 17 October 2003

WASHINGTON - President Bush's grandfather was a director of a bank seized by the federal government because of its ties to a German industrialist who helped bankroll Adolf Hitler's rise to power, government documents show.

Prescott Bush was one of seven directors of Union Banking Corp., a New York investment bank owned by a bank controlled by the Thyssen family, according to recently declassified National Archives documents reviewed by The Associated Press.

Fritz Thyssen was an early financial supporter of Hitler, whose Nazi party Thyssen believed was preferable to communism. The documents do not show any evidence Bush directly aided that effort. His position with Union Banking never was a political issue for Bush, who was elected to the Senate from Connecticut in 1952....

7. Take a moment, a deep breath, and

read the fucking article you idiot. Even the ADL calls bullshit on this ridiculous notion.

9. The article sort of gives Bush a pass

essentially claiming, without basis, that Bush was somehow totally unaware that his bank was doing business with the Nazis since 1934, even though he was one of the bank's Directors. But you have to be an idiot to swallow that one, lol.


But the AP article also goes on to say that the only reason the bank's Directors were not charged was because the government was busy fighting the war, and lacked resources to pursue a full investigation and prosecution of the individuals involved. I guess you missed that part. Though the bank itself was dissolved and all assets seized by the government under the Trading with the Enemy Act.

10. The ADL says

The Anti-Defamation League in the US is supportive of Prescott Bush and the Bush family. In a statement last year they said that "rumours about the alleged Nazi 'ties' of the late Prescott Bush ... have circulated widely through the internet in recent years. These charges are untenable and politically motivated ... Prescott Bush was neither a Nazi nor a Nazi sympathiser."

13. They're wrong.

Prescott Bush was certainly a nazi sympathizer.

A friend worked for somebody last year ,who has pasted away, that worked at the bank where bushes worked. There are people who knew at the time that something like dealing with fascist was up.

12. Who is the commentator/narrator in the video?

The one in the beginning. I think he has done a video about 9/11 if I recall correctly. I would like to know his name.
