George H W Bush: The Unauthorized
Biography
by Webster Griffin Tarpley and
Anton Chaitkin
Executive Intelligence Review
Washington, D.C. 1992, paperback
p9
The central project of the George HW Bush presidency is the creation
and consolidation of a single, universal Anglo-American (or Anglo-Saxon)
empire very directly modeled on the various phases of the Roman
Empire.
p11
George HW Bush['s] response to the Gulf crisis of 1991 will be
largely predetermined, not by any . great flashes of geopolitical
insight, but rather by his connection to the British oligarchy,
to [Henry] Kissinger, to Israeli and Zionist circles, to Texas
oilmen in his fundraising base, [and] to the Saudi Arabian and
Kuwaiti royal houses.
p23
[George HW Bush's father] Prescott Bush became managing partner
of Brown Brothers Harriman ... ultimately the largest and politically
the most important private banking house in America.
p26
In October 1942, ten months after entering World War II, America
was preparing its first assault against Nazi military forces.
Prescott Bush [George HW Bush's father] was managing partner of
Brown Brothers Harriman.
... On Oct. 20, 1942, the U.S. government
ordered the seizure of Nazi German banking operations in New York
City which were being conducted by Prescott Bush.
Under the Trading with the Enemy Act,
the government took over the Union Banking Corporation, in which
[Prescott] Bush was a director. The U.S. Alien Property Custodian
seized Union Banking Corp.'s stock shares, all of which were owned
by Prescott Bush, E. Roland "Bunny" Harriman, three
Nazi executives, and two other associates of Bush.'
... On Oct. 28, the government issued
orders seizing two Nazi front organizations run by the Bush-Harriman
bank: the Holland-American Trading Corporation and the Seamless
Steel Equipment Corporation.
... Nazi interests in the Silesian-American
Corporation, long managed by Prescott Bush and his father-in-law
George Herbert Walker, were seized under the Trading with the
Enemy Act on Nov. 17,1942.
p28
President [George HW] Bush's family had played a central role
in financing and arming Adolf Hitler for his takeover of Germany;
in financing and managing the buildup of Nazi war industries for
the conquest of Europe and war against the U.S.A.; and in the
development of Nazi genocide theories and racial propaganda, with
their well-known results.
... The President's [George HW Bush] family
fortune was largely a result of the Hitler project. The powerful
Anglo-American family associations, which later boosted him into
the Central Intelligence Agency and up to the White House, were
his father's partners in the Hitler project.
... Prescott Bush and the other directors
of the Union Banking Corp. were legally front men for the Nazis.
p28
Fritz Thyssen and his business partners are universally recognized
as the most important German financiers of Adolf Hitler's takeover
of Germany. At the time of the order seizing the Thyssen family's
Union Banking Corp., Mr. Fritz Thyssen had already published his
famous book, "I Paid Hitler" admitting that he had financed
Adolf Hitler and the Nazi movement since October 1923.
p29
W. Averell Harriman ... became acquainted with Fritz Thyssen,
the German industrialist. Harriman and Thyssen agreed to set up
a bank for Thyssen in New York.
... The Union Banking Corporation was
established formally in 1924, as a unit in the Manhattan offices
of W.A. Harriman & Co., interlocking with the Thyssen-owned
Bank voor Handel en Scheepvaart (BHS) in the Netherlands.
... W.A. Harriman & Co. (alias Union
Banking Corporation) would be transferring funds back and forth
between New York and the "Thyssen interests" in Germany.
By putting up about $400,000, the Harriman organization would
be joint owner and manager of Thyssen's banking operations outside
of Germany.
p30
Prescott Bush became vice president of W.A. Harriman & Co.
in 1926. That same year, a friend of Harriman and Bush set up
a giant new organization for their client Fritz Thyssen, prime
sponsor of politician Adolf Hitler. The new German Steel Trust,
Germany's largest industrial corporation, was organized in 1926
by Wall Street banker Clarence Dillon.
p30
Averell Harriman met with Italy's fascist dictator, Benito Mussolini.
JA representative of the firm subsequently
telegraphed good news back to his chief executive Bert Walker:

The great financial collapse of 1929-31 shook America, Germany
and Britain, weakening all governments. It also made the hard-pressed
Prescott Bush even more willing to do whatever was necessary to
retain his new place in the world. It was in this crisis that
certain Anglo-Americans determined on the installation of a Hitler
regime in Germany.
W.A. Harriman & Co., well-positioned
for this enterprise and rich in assets from their German and Russian
business, merged with the British-American investment house, Brown
Brothers, on January 1, l931.
Brown Brothers had a racial tradition
that fitted it well for the Hitler project... in U.S. Civil War
days. Brown Brothers, with offices in the U.S.A. and in England,
had carried on their ships fully 75 percent of the slave cotton
from the American South over to British mill owners.
In 1931, the virtual dictator of world
finance, Bank of England Governor Montagu Collet Norman, was a
former Brown Brothers partner, whose grandfather had been boss
of Brown Brothers during the U.S. Civil War. Montagu Norman was
known as the most avid of Hitler's supporters within British ruling
circles.
p35
The Schroeder family of bankers was a linchpin for the Nazi activities
of Harriman and Prescott Bush, closely tied to their lawyers Allen
and John Foster Dulles.
p37
On March 31, 1933, the American Jewish Committee, controlled by
the Warburgs, and the B'nai B'rith, heavily influenced by the
Sulzbergers (New York Times), issued a formal, official joint
statement of the two organizations, counseling "that no American
boycott against Germany be encouraged.
... The American Jewish Committee and
the B'nai B'rith (mother of the Anti-Defamation League) continued
with this hardline, no-attack-on-Hitler stance all through the
1930s, blunting the fight) mounted by many Jews and other anti-fascists.
... The relationship of George Bush to
American Jewish and Zionist leaders ... in close cooperation with
his family, played an ugly part in the drama of Nazism.
p39
John Foster Dulles (later to be U.S. Secretary of State) friendship
and that of his brother Allen (head of the Central Intelligence
Agency), greatly aided Prescott Bush to become the Republican
U.S. Senator from Connecticut. And it was to be of inestimable
value to George [HW] Bush, in his ascent to the heights of "covert
action government," that both of these Dulles brothers were
the lawyers for the Bush family's far-flung enterprise.
Throughout the 1930s, John Foster Dulles
arranged debt restructuring for German firms under a series of
decrees issued by Adolf Hitler. In these deals, Dulles struck
a balance between the interest owed to selected, larger investors,
and the needs of the growing Nazi war-making apparatus for producing
tanks, poison gas, etc.
p40
Private armies of 300,000 to 400,000 terrorists aided the Nazis'
rise to power. W.A. Harriman's Hamburg-Amerika Line intervened
against Germany's 1932 attempt to break them up.
The 1929-31 economic collapse bankrupted
the Wall-Street-backed German Steel Trust... But the Anglo-Americans-Montagu
Norman and the Harriman-Bush bank - made sure that their Nazi
puppet Fritz Thyssen regained control over the shares and the
Trust. Thyssen's bankrolling of Hitler could then continue unhindered.
p41
Virtually all the Nazi trade with the United States was under
the supervision of the Harriman interests and functionaries such
as Prescott Bush, father of President George [HW] Bush.
p45
Adolf Hitler
The [government] must put the most modern
medical means in the service of this knowledge... Those who are
physically and mentally unhealthy and unworthy must not perpetuate
their suffering in the body of their children .... The prevention
of the faculty and opportunity to procreate on the part of the
physically degenerate and mentally sick, over a period of only
600 years, would.. . free humanity from an immeasurable misfortune.
p45
George HW Bush
The per capita income gap between the
developed and the developing countries is increasing, in large
part the result of higher birth rates in the poorer countries...
Famine in India, unwanted babies in the United States, poverty
that seemed to form an unbreakable chain for millions of people
- how should we tackle these problems? It is quite clear that
one of the major challenges of the 1970s will be to curb the world's
fertility.
p47
Shell Oil is principally owned by the British royal family. Shell's
chairman, Sir Henri Deterding, helped sponsor Hitler's rise to
power, by arrangement with the royal family's Bank of England
Governor, Montagu Norman. Their ally Standard Oil would take part
in the Hitler project right up to the bloody, gruesome end.

In 1950 and 1951, John Foster Dulles, then chairman of the Rockefeller
Foundation, led John D. Rockefeller III on a series of world tours,
focusing on the need to stop the expansion of the nonwhite populations.
In November 1952, Dulles and Rockefeller set up the Population
Council, with tens of millions of dollars from the Rockefeller
family.
p60
The International Planned Parenthood Federation was founded in
London, in the offices of the British Eugenics Society.
p63
The Union Banking Corporation had been operated on behalf of
Nazi Germany by [Prescott] Bush and the Harrimans.
p73
A central focus of the [Averell] Harriman security regime in Washington
(1950-53) was the organization of covert operations, and "psychological
warfare." Harriman, together with his lawyers and business
partners, Allen Dulles and John Foster Dulles, wanted the government's
secret services to conduct extensive propaganda campaigns and
mass-psychology experiments within the U.S.A., and paramilitary
campaigns abroad. This would supposedly ensure a stable world-wide
environment favorable to Anglo-American financial and political
interests.
p74
The Birth Control League had long trumpeted the need for eugenical
births -- fewer births for parents with "inferior" bloodines...
The Birth Control League ... chang[ed] its name to Planned Parenthood.
p81
Following the rise of [Fidel] Castro, the U.S. Central Intelligence
Agency [CIA] contracted with the organization of Mafia boss Meyer
Lansky to organize and train assassination squads for use against
the Cuban government.
p124
The present century owes much of its record of horrors to the
influential Anglophile American families which came to dominate
and employ the Skull and Bones Society [Yale University] as a
political recruiting agency, particularly the Harrimans, Whitneys,
Vanderbilts, Rockefellers and their lawyers, the Lords and Tafts
and Bundys.
The politically aggressive Guaranty Trust
Company, run almost entirely by Skull and Bones initiates, was
a financial vehicle of these families in the early 1900s. Guaranty
Trust's support for the Bolshevik and Nazi revolutions overlapped
the more intense endeavors in these fields by the Harrimans, George
Walker and Prescott Bush [in New York], and in Berlin.
Skull and Bones was dominated from 1913
onward by the circles of Averell Harriman.
p138
The Eastern Establishment ... an agglomeration of financier factions
headquartered in Wall Street, had been the dominant force in American
politics since J.P. Morgan had bailed out the Grover Cleveland
regime in the 1890s. Since the assassination of William McKinley
and the advent of Theodore Roosevelt, the power of the Wall Street
group had grown continuously. The Eastern Establishment ... was
determined to be, not a mere regional financier faction, but the
undisputed ruling elite of the United States as a whole.
p218
The most essential level of [Henry] Kissinger was the British
one. This meant that U.S. foreign policy was to be guided by British
imperial geopolitics in particular the notion of the balance of
power.
p219
On May 10, 1982, in a speech entitled "Reflections on a Partnership"
given at the Royal Institute of International Affairs at Chatham
House in London, Henry Kissinger openly expounded his role and
philosophy as a British agent-of-influence within the U.S. government
during the Nixon and Ford years.
p219
Kissinger was the high priest of imperialism and neocolonialism,
animated by an instinctive hatred for Indira Gandhi, Aldo Moro,
Zulfikar Mi Bhutto and other nationalist world leaders.
... Kissinger was also a Zionist, dedicated
to economic, diplomatic and military support of Israeli aggression
and expansionism to keep the Middle East in turmoil, so as to
prevent Arab unity and Arab economic development.
p439
During the entire decade of the 1980s, the policies of the Reagan/Bush
and [George HW] Bush administrations encouraged one of the greatest
paroxysms of speculation and usury that the world has ever seen.
Starting especially in the summer of 1982, a malignant and cancerous
mass of speculative paper spread through all the vital organs
of the banking, credit and financial system. Capital had long
since ceased to be used for the creation of new productive plant
and equipment, new productive manufacturing jobs, investment in
transportation, power systems and education... Wall Street investors
came more and more to resemble vampires who ranged over a ghoulish
landscape in search of living prey whose blood the could suck
to perpetuate their own lively form of death.
... Industrial employment was out, the
service sector was in. The post-industrial society meant that
the production of tangible, physical wealth, of hard commodities,
within U.S. borders was being terminated. The future would belong
to parasitical legions of lawyers, financial services experts,
accountants, and clerical support . personnel.
p441
For a paper-thin stratum of plutocrats and parasites, the 1980s
was a time of unlimited opportunity. These were the practitioners
of the disastrous financial swindles that marked the decade, the
protagonists of the hostile takeovers, mergers and acquisitions,
leveraged buyouts, greenmail and stock plays that occupied the
admiration of Wall Street. These were corporate raiders like J.
Hugh Liedtke, Blame Kerr, T. Boone Pickens and Frank Lorenzo;
Wall Street financiers like Henry Kravis and Nicholas Brady.
p602
[President Theodore] Roosevelt was a political steward of the
J.P. Morgan interests which dominated Wall Street.
