It seems the Bush family are poor judges of character x-D

me and my friends use to said “conspiracy practice” – not theory.

Bury some chemical weapons in the 100,000 sq miles of Iraq desert with no one around but a fricking camel, painted up with Iraqi Government markings to justify a massive war (and possibly another one)–absolutely impossible.

Guess they don’t make post 9-11 secret societies like they did the pre-9-11 ones….

I don’t need conspiracy stories about Bush’s grandfather, or his military service, or 9/11 to dislike the current administration. The things that they admit to doing like putting Americans in military brigs for years without charging them, no-big contracts, wiretapping Americans, firing people who disagree with them, saying they aren’t part of the executive branch so they don’t have to abide by the rules of that branch, and ignoring congressional subpoenas are all more than enough for me to dislike the current administration.

I like logic so let’s break this down:

1. Prescott Bush was one of seven directors of Union Banking Corp.
2. A New York investment bank owned by a bank
3. controlled by the Thyssen family
4. Fritz Thyssen was an early financial supporter of Hitler

Bush’s Grandfather Directed Bank Tied to Man Who Funded Hitler?

Bush’s Grandfather was 1 of 7 directors of a bank owned by another bank, and that bank was owned by the family of a man who was an early financial supporter of Hitler.

This isn’t news. It’s not even interesting.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fritz_Thyssen

Once the Nazi dictatorship took hold, however, Thyssen began to have second thoughts. Although he welcomed the suppression of the Communist Party, the Social Democrats and the trade unions, he disliked the mob violence of the SA. In 1934 he was one of the business leaders who persuaded Hitler to suppress the SA, leading to the “Night of the Long Knives”. Thyssen was horrified, however, at the simultaneous murder of various conservative figures such as Kurt von Schleicher.

Thyssen accepted the exclusion of Jews from German business and professional life by the Nazis, and dismissed his own Jewish employees, but he did not share Hitler’s violent anti-Semitism. As a Catholic, he also objected to the increasing repression of the Roman Catholic Church, which gathered pace after 1935. The breaking point for Thyssen was the violent pogrom against the Jews in November 1938 known as Kristallnacht, which caused him to resign from the Council of State. By 1939 he was also bitterly criticising the regime’s economic policies, which were subordinating everything to rearmament in preparation for war.

On a completely unrelated note:
How many American politicians shook hands with Henry Ford? Dined with Henry Ford? How many owned stock in Ford Motor Company? Had business dealings with Ford Motor Company? Received campaign contributions from Ford Motor Company?

Right. All of them.

Next time you decide to make a political post, engage your brain. It would make you look less foolish.
