Bush’s tears, words ring hollow in light of fortune’s origin

I read how “A teary-eyed U.S. President George W. Bush stopped in front of an aerial photo of Auschwitz …and said the United States should have sent bombers to prevent the extermination of Jews there.”
One reason Auschwitz wasn’t bombed was pressure exerted by powerful U.S. bankers who invested heavily in operations there. George Bush’s grandfather’s father-in-law, George Walker, controlled the largest portion of investments in Union Banking Corp. The Bush/Walker family funneled $50 million through Union Banking to aid the rise of Nazi Germany, then spent the war supplying the Nazis with chemicals, steel and other war materials.
According to John Loftus, a former U.S. Justice Department Nazi War Crimes prosecutor who is now a director of the Florida Holocaust Museum, “The Bush family fortune came from the Third Reich.” Prescott Bush (G.W. Bush’s grandfather) managed the Consolidated Silesian Steel Corp., where he used Auschwitz slave labor to produce steel for Nazi tanks and artillery.
FDR finally shut down the Bushes’ treasonous operations under the Trading with the Enemy Act. On Nov. 6, 1942, Vesting Order #248 (Federal Register Document #42-11568) was filed, seizing assets of the Union Bank as a Nazi front. The current president is aware of his family’s past involvement with Nazis. At birth, he received a trust fund estimated at $20 million to $30 million.
If he truly grieves over the Holocaust, he should consider donating his trust fund, which was derived from the Holocaust, to benefit the victims of Nazi slave labor.
