Remember this: Bushco: The Thief is still a Thief, the Lie is still a Lie
http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/NewsStory.aspx?section=Opinion&OID=40444


1942: A good year for family values. Under the Trading with the Enemy Act, the US government orders the seizure of Nazi German banking operations in New York City, which were being directed by Prescott Bush. Shucks, Grandpa.


Grandpa was the chief financial officer of Dresser Industries, which supplied oil-related equipment to the Rockefeller Standard Oil. Gramps also director of Nazi-front company Hamburg-Amerika Line, whose chairman was Emil Helfferich, also the chairman of the Standard Oil’s German subsidiaries. One of Hamburg-Amerika’s partners is IG Farben, the German industrial giant which produced Zyklon B, the poison gas used to murder Jews, Gypsies and Russians. IG Farben also built and operated more than 40 concentration camps, including Auschwitz.


World War II was an interesting time. “Ford trucks were being built for German occupation troops in France with authorization from Dearborn, Michigan,” while the head of the international American telephone conglomerate ITT “was flying from New York to Madrid to Berne to help improve Hitler’s communications systems and improve the robot bombs that devastated London.”


When it was revealed at the conclusion of World War II that IG Farben owned 30 percent of Standard Oil stock, a man by the name of Allen Dulles was hired by Standard Oil to represent it before the US Congress and the Federal Court. IG Farben was later split up by the Allies at the end of the war into different companies, one of which was a firm called Bayer -- which happens to have interesting links with the Carlyle Group, where the Bush family happens to be a major player and which also has just as interesting business ties with a family called the bin Ladens.


All together now: “You must remember this, the thief is still a thief, a lie is still a lie, the fundamental things apply as time goes by.”

1. Excellent article
Thanks for posting.

"Meantime, a toon called Rumsfeld gets himself signed up as “Donald Stuck, Defense Secretary” at Disneyland. Part of Donald’s job is to pretend he can no longer recall that he once remarked, “It struck us as useful to have a relationship with him,” in reference to Saddam, whose hand he had graciously fondled when he visited Baghdad not too long ago as an emissary of Reagan, another cartoon character. "

Funny, when Senator Byrd asked Rumsfeld, at a committee meeting about the US selling bio and chemical agents to Iraq........Rummy had a senior moment and couldn't remember. He even said he doubted that ever happened. It is time to call a lie.......a lie.
