The Indiscreet Charm of the Bush-Nazi Web Conspiranoids

Share this

Phil Leggiere tries to separate fact from conspiracy theory as he examines the historic ties between Nazi Germany and Prescott Bush, Dubya's grandfather, whose business dealings were "aiding and abetting the Nazi cause for profit long after the nature of the Nazi regime became clear to any informed observer, and even after the US declaration of war against Germany. ... It's clear Harriman, Bush, Dulles and legions of the financial elite share a degree of (largely unacknowledged) responsibility for providing Hitler and the Nazis the wherewithal to launch World War Two and the Holocaust." However, "There are sharp distinctions between the 'Bush is a Nazi' vulgarizations of the conspiranoia-ists, and the documented corporate-Nazi connections. ... The theorists who see this historical episode not as evidence of Nazism but of business-as-usual are clearly the more sophisticated of the bunch."
