George Prescott Bush Follows in His Great Grandfather's Goosetsteps and Supports a Nazi

[louis c]

George P. Bush came out in support of Donald Trump today. The P. stands for Prescott, George P's Great Grandfather. Prescott was one the earliest supporters of Adolf Hitler prior to World War Two and a United States Senator from Connecticut.

This link tells the story of Papa Bush.

I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, even if it skips a generation or two. They certainly knew what they were doing when they gave George P. his middle name.

1. that's the best they could do? his mom was born in mexico....

Columba Garnica Gallo was born in León, Guanajuato, Mexico,[3] the daughter of José María Garnica Rodríguez (1925–2013), a migrant worker and waiter from Arperos, Guanajuato, and Josefina Gallo Esquivel (born 1920), from León, who were married in February 1949. Columba's father abandoned the family in 1956 when she was 3 years old[4] and her parents divorced in 1963.[5] Following the departure of her father, Columba and her mother remained in León.[5][6]

Garnica attended Instituto Antonia Mayllen, a private Catholic school in the historic center of León.[5]

She met Jeb Bush in 1970 in León when she was 16 years old and he was 17.[3] Bush was teaching English as a second language and assisting in the building of a school in the small nearby village of Ibarrilla[7] as part of a class at Andover called Man and Society.[3][4]

Garnica married Bush on February 23, 1974, in Austin, Texas[8][9][10] at the chapel in the Catholic student center on the campus of the University of Texas.[4][6] At the time of the wedding, she did not speak English and a part of the wedding ceremony was conducted in Spanish.[3

2. The man Prescott worked for, W. Averell Harriman, is a far more interesting character

"Harriman served President Franklin D. Roosevelt as special envoy to Europe and served as the U.S. Ambassador to the Soviet Union and U.S. Ambassador to Britain. He served in numerous U.S. diplomatic assignments in the Kennedy and Johnson Administrations. He was a core member of the group of foreign policy elders known as "The Wise Men"."

"Harriman's banking business was the main Wall Street connection for German companies and the varied U.S. financial interests of Fritz Thyssen; who was a financial backer of the Nazi party until 1938. The Trading With the Enemy Act (enacted on October 6, 1917)[13] classified any business transactions for profit with enemy nations as illegal, and any funds or assets involved were subject to seizure by the U.S. government. The declaration of war on the U.S. by Hitler led to the U.S. government order on October 20, 1942 to seize German interests in the U.S. which included Harriman's operations in New York City.

The Harriman business interests seized under the act in October and November 1942 included:[citation needed]

Union Banking Corporation (UBC) (from Thyssen and Brown Brothers Harriman)
Holland-American Trading Corporation (from Harriman)
Seamless Steel Equipment Corporation (from Harriman)
Silesian-American Corporation (this company was partially owned by a German entity; during the war the Germans tried to take full control of Silesian-American. In response to that, the American government seized German-owned minority shares in the company, leaving the U.S. partners to carry on the portion of the business in the United States.)

The assets were held by the government for the duration of the war, then returned afterward; UBC was dissolved in 1951."

3. Don't forget Prescott was in on an aborted coup of FDR

that was stopped when Smedley Butler tipped off Roosevelt, who did not have them arrested.

This would prove to be the first of many times that the Bush family got away with treason.
