If there were ever two families that should be outlawed from drawing any kind of historical parallels between Nazis and Islamic terrorists it would be the Bushes and Walkers. If the name Chamberlain has become synonymous with the word appeasement, the Walker-Bush name should be synonymous with financial treason.

These two American families not only teamed up to reap immense profits managing (even after the Trading With the Enemy Act of 1942) the wealth of Fritz Thyssen, the German industrialist and proud Nazi who was perhaps the single largest contributor to Hitler's war machine.  

"The Union Banking Corporation was a holding company for the Nazis, for Fritz Thyssen," said Loftus. "At various times, the Bush family has tried to spin it, saying they were owned by a Dutch bank and it wasn't until the Nazis took over Holland that they realised that now the Nazis controlled the apparent company and that is why the Bush supporters claim when the war was over they got their money back. Both the American treasury investigations and the intelligence investigations in Europe completely bely that, it's absolute horseshit. They always knew who the ultimate beneficiaries were."

"There is no one left alive who could be prosecuted but they did get away with it," said Loftus. "As a former federal prosecutor, I would make a case for Prescott Bush, his father-in-law (George Walker) and Averill Harriman [to be prosecuted] for giving aid and comfort to the enemy. They remained on the boards of these companies knowing that they were of financial benefit to the nation of Germany."

Loftus said Prescott Bush must have been aware of what was happening in Germany at the time. "My take on him was that he was a not terribly successful in-law who did what Herbert Walker told him to. Walker and Harriman were the two evil geniuses, they didn't care about the Nazis any more than they cared about their investments with the Bolsheviks."

The two families also hooked up to unleash the simple minded titans of oil profiteering and Wahhabi-appeasing the Walker-Bushes: George Herbert Walker and George Walker.  Unfortunately, the Walker Bushes weren't simply war profiteering blueblood industrialists they were also goddamned presidents of the United States.

If there is any meager silver lining to the disastrous legacy of George Walker Bush perhaps it will be that someday we'll reach a point where his family name will be at least as historically vilified as Neville Chamberlain's.
