In April 1999, Texas Governor George W. Bush
proclaimed a week of remembrance for the
Holocaust. He said, "I urge Texans to never
forget the inhumanity of those who perpetrated
the Holocaust, and reflect upon our own humanity
and our responsibility to respect all peoples."
Good advice.
He should reflect upon his own family,
if he is interested in reflecting on inhumanity.
G.W.'s grandfather and great-grandfather,
Prescott Bush and George Herbert Walker,
were among the chief American fundraisers
for Germany's Nazi Party.
Through industrialist Fritz Thyssen,
the Bush-run Union Banking Company
and W. A. Harriman & Company, the Bushes
sold over $50 million in German bonds to
American investors, starting in 1924.
Thyssen in turn pumped money into the
infant Nazi Party, which had proved its
desire to rule and its willingness to use
brute force in 1923's Munich Beer Hall Putsch.
George Walker, GW's great-grandfather, also
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.
George Bush, then an eighteen year-old man,
held off entering Yale (a long-time Bush
family destination, Prescott had graduated
in 1917) to enter the military, perhaps to
remove some of the tarnish from his family's
honor. After the war, however, Bush joined
the intelligence community and 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."
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. 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.
They may as well have been wearing armbands
portraying syringes, dollar bills and
"Bush For President" buttons.
After the cocaine coup, the notorious
Unification Church, the "Moonie" cult,
began making inroads across Latin America.
Among the first to arrive in La Paz after
the Nazi/coke coup was Bo Hi Pak,
Rev. Sun Myung Moon's right hand man.
Moon had invested $4 million in the coup,
it so turns out, and still had plenty of
money left over to help finance George Bush's
campaign for president in 1988.
Moonie lieutenant Thomas Ward also acted
as the go-between between Barbie and his
CIA payrollers. The Moonies were also large
funders of the Contras and heavy investors
in Latin America generally. Bush is still
in Moon's pocket: as recently as 1996,
former President Bush flew to Argentina
to appeal to Argentine president Carlos Menem
to attend the gala celebration for Moon's
latest right-wing newspaper. Bush has made
hundreds of thousands of dollars stumping
for Moon groups since leaving the Oval Office,
and has been working to make sure GW Bush gets
his share of drug-tainted, Nazi managed
cult money for the latest Presidential campaign.
That is something we should all reflect on.

COINTELPRO: "Operation Chaos, & OxyContin!"
by Rush "Druggie" Limbaugh
Invoking the "counterintelligence program"
(COINTELPRO) t i n y u r l . c o m / 6 l 9 n g 5
of the 1968 Democratic National Convention
in Chicago, and borrowing a page from Rwandan
radio broadcasts using dehumanizing language
that incited ethnic Hutus to commit genocide
against ethnic Tutsis in Rwanda, American
talk show host Rush Limbaugh recently stated
on his Premiere Radio Network program that
riots should be incited in Denver during the
Democratic National Convention, (Aug. 25 to
Aug. 2 , to ensure a democrat is not elected
as President. Rush Limbaugh also sang on air,
"... I am dreaming of riots in Denver,"
to the tune of 'White Christmas.'
Limbaugh said with massive riots in Denver,
which he called part of his "Operation Chaos,"
the people on the far left would look bad.
"There won't be riots at our convention,"
Limbaugh said of the Republican National
Convention. "We don't riot. We don't burn our
cars. We don't burn down our houses.
We don't kill our children. We don't do half
the things the American left does."
He believes electing Democrats will hurt
America's security and economy and called on
his listeners to make sure that doesn't happen.
Limbaugh's comments prompted Denver Mayor
John Hickenlooper to say, "Anyone who would
call for riots in an American city has clearly
lost their bearings."
Democratic Sen. Ken Salazar also responded to
Limbaugh's comments Friday, asking Lee Larsen,
senior vice president of Clear Channel Radio
Rocky Mountain Region to reprimand Limbaugh.
"As I read Mr. Limbaugh's comments about riots
at the Democratic National Convention in Denver,
they appear to me to be a clear exhortation that
those riots are exactly what he wants to happen,"
Salazar said in a letter to Larsen.

"Glenn Greenwald" once mused:
To this day, John Wayne is the prototype of the
uber-patriotic, uber-masculine, uber-courageous
Moral Republican Warrior.
His imagery is the template that pioneered the
brand that the Right uses to this day
to build up their political leaders.
In 1995 -- 18 years after his death -- he remained
the most admired film actor in America.
The Los Angeles Times said that, even years
after his death, his image "exmplified the ideal
American fighting man."
After 9/11 Peggy Noonan wrote
a column hailing the return of
"the Duke" -- of real men who bellow:
"Yer in a whole lotta trouble now, Osama-boy."
Yet John Wayne was one of America's biggest
and most repugnant frauds -- in exactly the way
that modern Right-wing leaders are. At a time
when virtually nobody avoided combat, Wayne
did exactly that, using the most dishonorable
means imaginable, throughout all of World
War II. Because the most successful male actors,
including older ones, went to fight, he was able
to stay in Hollywood and become extremely rich
playing war heroes. He spent the rest of his life
glorifying every American war and accusing
war opponents of being cowards, Communists
and traitors. He crusaded for traditional
American morality, attacking others whom
he perceived to deviate, while he engaged in
compulsive womanizing and adultery,
repeatedly breaking up his own family, and
wallowing in pill addictions.
Before there was Rush Limbaugh, Dick Cheney,
Newt Gingrich, George Bush, Bill Kristol,
David Vitter and even John McCain -- there was
John Wayne. One finds key parts of Wayne in each
of them. To this day, he's the role model for how
the Right conducts itself and the methods they
use to swindle the American public.

The Real McCain
by Cliff Schecter

Three reporters from Arizona, on the condition
of anonymity, also let me in on another incident
involving McCain's intemperateness. In his 1992
Senate bid, McCain was joined on the campaign
trail by his wife, Cindy, as well as campaign aide
Doug Cole and consultant Wes Gullett. At one
point, Cindy playfully twirled McCain's hair
and said, "You're getting a little thin up there."
McCain's face reddened, and he responded,
"At least I don't plaster on the makeup like
a trollop, you cunt." McCain's excuse was that
it had been a long day. If elected president of
the United States, McCain would have
many long days.

John Sidney McCain III (born August 29, 1936)

10 things you probably already
know about John McCain:
1. John McCain voted against establishing
a national holiday in honor of Dr. Martin
Luther King, Jr. Now he says his position
has "evolved," yet he's continued to oppose
key civil rights laws. [1]
2. According to Bloomberg News, McCain
is more hawkish than Bush on Iraq, Russia
and China. Conservative columnist Pat
Buchanan says McCain "will make
Cheney look like Gandhi." [2]
3. His reputation is built on his opposition
to torture, but McCain voted against a bill
to ban waterboarding, and then applauded
President Bush for vetoing that ban. [3]
4. McCain opposes a woman's right to
choose. He said, "I do not support
Roe versus Wade. It should be overturned." [4]
5. The Children's Defense Fund rated McCain
as the worst senator in Congress for children.
He voted against the children's health care bill
last year, then defended Bush's veto of the bill. [5]
6. He's one of the richest people in a Senate
filled with millionaires. The Associated Press
reports he and his wife own at least eight homes!
Yet McCain says the solution to the housing
crisis is for people facing foreclosure to get a
"second job" and skip their vacations. [6]
7. Many of McCain's fellow Republican senators
say he's too reckless to be commander in chief.
One Republican senator said: "The thought of
his being president sends a cold chill down my
spine. He's erratic. He's hotheaded. He loses his
temper and he worries me." [7]
8. McCain talks a lot about taking on special
interests, but his campaign manager and top
advisers are actually lobbyists. The government
watchdog group Public Citizen says McCain
has 59 lobbyists raising money for
his campaign, more than any of the other
presidential candidates. [8]
9. McCain has sought closer ties to the extreme
religious right in recent years. The pastor
McCain calls his "spiritual guide," Rod Parsley,
believes America's founding mission is to
destroy Islam, which he calls a "false religion."
McCain sought the political support of
right-wing preacher John Hagee, who believes
Hurricane Katrina was God's punishment for
gay rights and called the Catholic Church
"the Antichrist" and a "false cult."[9]
10. He positions himself as pro-environment,
but he scored a 0 -- yes, zero -- from the League
of Conservation Voters last year. [10]
