We have absolutely no idea what the man behind the curtain is doing....George Carlin..
I was aware that Prescott Bush, father ot George H.S. Bush and grandfather to George W. Bush, as head of Union Bank laundered a lot of money for the Nazis and helped them a great deal.
Few people today realize that right up until Pearl harbor, about 30% of Americans thought hitler was great. There was an American Fascist movement, and even a plan to overthrow FDR by military force. Most of this has been hushed up because, in part, it was embarrassing after the fact, and also because many heads of many large corporations, listed both on the DOW and fortune 500, were in on it, and jailing them would have undermined the recovery from the depression. So, the planned coo never made into history books.
The same rich elite families never gave up on Fascism and are now trying to implement it by slow degrees. The whole trickle down theory is and always has been a con to tranfer to tax burden from the rich onto working people.
There were quite a many persons who, pre-1939, endorsed Hitler. They took a blind eye to his military buildup as it was helping Germany come out of a severe inflation rate and depression. When he invaded Poland their minds were changed.
A lot of Americans continued to support him until he declared war on the U.S. on December 11, 1941.
If we look back in history many esteemed individuals came from criminal families.
If I recall my history correctly, Grandpa Bush was a bank and laundered money for the Nazis, he was caught and given a slap on the wrist because there was still a lot of pro-Hitler sentiment in the US at the time. Hitler was fighting the Communists in Germany and that was popular, plus he was anti-Semitic and there is a long history of anti-Semitism in the US.
IBM provided the basic computing systems used by the Nazis for the concentration camps among other uses and the helped maintain those computing systems in the early stages of WWII before the US got involved officially and even afterwards for a wile, depending upon who you trust.
Would the Nazi genocide of the Jews, Poles, Gypsies, Homosexuals and a host of others still gone ahead with one less money laundering banker and the old filing systems? Of course it would have. Lots of dirty hands if you look closely at history.
