1.

Prescott Bush (father of George H.W. Bush, grandfather of “Dubya”) put Hitler into power and financed the Nazi war machine, even after the start of World War II. 🧵

2.

German industrialist Fritz Thyssen was Adolf Hitler’s original and principal patron. In 1924, Averell Harriman set up the Union Banking Corporation (UBC), with Thyssen as its sole customer.

3.

UBC was a sub-unit of W.A. Harriman & Co., which later merged to become the world’s largest investment bank, Brown Brothers Harriman. The arrangement allowed Thyssen to stash $3M in “New York vaults,” as New York Herald Tribune reporter M. Jay Racusin wrote on July 31, 1941.

4.

Harriman named Prescott Bush and three other BBH partners to the Board of Directors of the new “bank.” Union Banking Corp. served from then until 1942 as an “offshore” transfer agency for Thyssen, moving some $8M in gold and cash back and forth between Wall Street and Germany.

5.

For the 1932 German election that brought Hitler to power, Thyssen donated $3M to the Nazi Party. In 1942, after U.S. had entered WWII, President Franklin Roosevelt’s Administration seized the UBC shares of Bush and other Harriman partners, under the Trading With the Enemy Act.

In 1931 Hitler’s fundraiser Fritz Thyssen had brought Hjalmar Schacht, former head of the central bank and a favorite of London and Wall Street, into a drive to install a Nazi regime. Thyssen, Schacht, and their friends urged President Hindenburg to appoint Hitler Chancellor.

8.

The Christian Science Monitor reported (January 31, 1933), “The Communist threat of a general strike in Berlin as result of the Nazi cabinet being so bitterly opposed by the more radical elements, was watched in international banking quarters with keen interest.”

9.

“There was a tendency to take an optimistic view, however. Prominent banking quarters in Wall Street were particularly pleased with the prospect of the return of Dr. Schacht as head of the Reichsbank.” — Christian Science Monitor (January 31, 1933)

“Fritz Thyssen, the German industrialist who was Adolf Hitler’s original patron” had for many years had millions of dollars “salted away” in the UBC in downtown New York, a sub-unit of the world’s largest investment banking firm, BBH. — Herald Tribune (July 31, 1941)

11.

Herald Tribune investigative reporter M. Jay Racusin had a copy of a letter written by a Brown Brothers Harriman representative to the New York state banking authorities, asking whether the firm’s partners – Prescott Bush and three others — should resign from the board of UBC.

12.

The bankers’ letter explained that Harriman had met Thyssen in Germany in 1925 (Thyssen had already funded Hitler’s 1923 attempted takeover of Germany). Harriman had set up a New York “bank” for Thyssen (Union Banking) and had put his partners, Bush, and others, on the board.

13.

UBC served from then until the 1940s as an “offshore” cash and gold transfer agency for Thyssen, under the supervision of Prescott Bush and his father-in-law, George Herbert Walker. In 1930 Thyssen used money from offshore accounts to install the Nazi party in the Brown House.

14.

In 1931 W. A. Harriman and Co, merged with the Anglo-American firm, Brown Brothers, whose former partner Montagu Norman was the Bank of England’s Governor and Hitler’s leading British sponsor.

15.

From then until Hitler took power, UBC (whose only client was Thyssen) bought $8M in gold and in concert with Morgan interests and Montagu Norman, shipped gold and cash between New York and Germany. For the crucial 1932 German election, $3M was transferred to the Nazi Party.

16.

After US entered WWII, Roosevelt’s administration cracked down under Trading With the Enemy Act. In 1942 they seized UBC shares of Prescott Bush and the other Harriman partners, along with their shares in many German enterprises jointly controlled by the Hitler regime and BBH.

17.

George H.W. Bush, then 18 years old, later partnered with the British to invade Iraq. Prescott’s grandson George W. Bush began the Anglo-American War on Terror, the domestic spying, and the catastrophic overseas wars that continue today.

“It is impossible to understand the current threat of fascism in the US, and globally, w/o understanding the role of Bush family, an integral part of banking crowd which brought Hitler to power & set the stage for British crown’s policies for dictatorship today.” — Anton Chaitkin

“The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself.” — President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s message to Congress on the Concentration of Economic Power, April 29, 1938

20.

“That, in its essence, is fascism—ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power.” — President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s message to Congress on the Concentration of Economic Power, April 29, 1938

21.

“The Bush family was formed and raised to power as the managers and servants of the Harrimans’ trans-Atlantic bank: an enterprise uniquely devoted to the British Empire’s creation of 20th-Century fascism, promoting Adolf Hitler and eugenics.” — Anton Chaitkin

22.

“The astounding rottenness of the family’s origin persisted through four generations and two U.S. Presidencies, bringing the legacy of British fascism into the present catastrophic [Biden] regime.” — Anton Chaitkin

23.

“The Harrimans had ‘arrived’ in 1898. London royal finance sealed the deal for New York stockbroker Edward H. Harriman to acquire the old Union Pacific Railroad, and thus to join the top-tier financier oligarchy.” — Anton Chaitkin

24.

“The purchasing credit for the Union Pacific passed from personal financier and counselor to Prince Albert Edward, financier of imperial Round Table group and Fabian Society; through Sir Ernst’s New York partner Jacob Schiff and on to Harriman.” — Anton Chaitkin

25.

“Other money for Harriman came from William Rockefeller, co-owner of National City Bank (a London-New York-Texas interest, later called Citibank) and co-owner of Standard Oil with his brother John D. Rockefeller.” — Anton Chaitkin

26.

“Harrimans emerged fourth in London’s infamous quartet of Wall Street agent-Lords, alongside J.P. Morgan, the Rockefellers, and Kuhn Loeb. Enter George Herbert Walker: an American educated in England, representing British financiers & New York Morgan interests.” — Anton Chaitkin

27.

“Walker organized Harriman and Co. The new bank was based at 39 Broadway, New York, with operations in Germany as well. In 1924, Walker brought in as the bank’s vice president his son-in-law Prescott Bush, a Yale friend of the Harrimans and the Rockefellers.” — Anton Chaitkin

28.

“The same overall organization at 39 Broadway financed the American branch of Britain’s global eugenics movement, where the Bush family ‘learned’ which races and classes should be born, and which should be erased.” — Anton Chaitkin

29.

“As the Depression raged in 1931, the British accelerated their German fascist dictatorship. German Nazi master-race strategists were featured at the 1932 International Congress of Eugenics in New York, convened under the auspices of Prescott Bush’s enterprise.” — Anton Chaitkin

30.

“The political slush fund for Fritz Thyssen overlapped with other Nazi interests managed and brokered through the same Harriman-Bush enterprise in New York, in tandem with Hitler’s Brown House headquarters in Munich and British Royal Dutch Shell.” — Anton Chaitkin

31.

“This apparatus now plunged ahead for Hitler’s elevation during the 1932 German election season, underwriting the Nazi Party campaign, and the terror deployment of the Hitler’s private army, the Sturm Abteilung (SA), or Storm Troopers.” — Anton Chaitkin
