The Facts and Stories
Since 1915, the Bush family have been involved in several great wars - World War Two and Nazi Germany included. In 1915, the nightmare began with the unholy partnership between the U.S. Government and The War Industries Board. One of the members on the board was Samuel P. Bush - George W. Bush's great-grandfather. All members of the board became known as 'Merchants of Death', using the façade of the government to legitimise their operations. The War Industries Board represented the great munitions makers of the time and dispatched agents around the world to sell weapons and materials of war to both sides of any conflict. They bribed government officials and used their corporate influence and capitol to increase international tensions, which in turn generated demand and maximized profit.
During the First World War, Samuel P. Bush, as well as other board members, made fortunes by selling these weapons to the U.S. and Germany. All records and correspondence related to the activities that Samuel P. Bush were involved in while he was on the War Industries Board were mysteriously burned to 'save space' in the U.S. National Archives. When their business venture officially ended on November 11, 1918, they had set a dangerous precedent for the destiny of America and the destiny of civilization itself. A small group of corporate manufactures, bankers, and industrialists had formulated a devilishly effective method by which profit is extracted from human suffering, war, and death, and their dark technique would be repeated and refined.
In 1919, Missouri deal-maker Bert Walker became the president and CEO of the W.A. Harriman and co. bank, which became one of the largest companies in the world. In 1922, George Walker was president at W.A Harriman and Co. Averell Harriman went to Berlin to set up a branch bank for the company. While in Berlin Averell Harriman became acquainted with Fritz Thyssen, prime supporter of the German Politician, Adolf Hitler. Preliminary arrangements were then made to establish a bank for Thyssen in New York, and, two years later in 1924, W.A. Harriman & Co. began the Union Banking Corporation in Manhattan. This handled German funds supplied through the Bank voor Handel en Scheepvaart (BHS), in the Netherlands, for the mass purchase of American commodities. The W. A. Harriman & Co executives labelled these dealings, "The Hitler Project". On May 1st 1926 Prescott Bush, grandfather of George W. Bush, close friend of Bunny Harriman, joined W. A. Harriman & Co. as its vice president under the bank’s president and his father-in-law George Walker.
On Oct. 20, 1942, the U.S. government ordered the seizure of all banking operations being carried out by Prescott Bush for the Nazis, Under the Trading with the Enemy Act, however by that time he and the other associates at W.A. Harriman & Co. had already made their fortunes financing and arming Adolph Hitler. Under the Trading with the Enemy Act, the government was able to take over Union Banking Corporation, and The U.S. Alien Property Custodian, seized the Union Banking Corporation stock owned by Prescott Bush, E. Roland Harriman, and his associates until the war ended.
Despite "The Hitler Project" resulting in a second world war, Harriman, Bush and the other members in the Union Banking Corporation were never prosecuted.
