Naomi Wolf's The End of America Summary She makes the case that Bush is creating a fascist shift in the US.
Revelations that the Bush patriarch was involved in a fascist plot to overthrow Roosevelt as well as involved in Nazi finance bolster Naomi Wolf's case. It isn't in the mainstream news, but the information has been available since 2003 from several independent sources. How could that happen? At first blush the claim isn't even plausible. In a country with free speech, how could a Senator and two presidents could be elected without this dark family history publicly unfolding? Here's the answer I uncovered.
Roosevelt wartime compromise threatens democracy now
Before WWII was declared many US brokerage houses and companies had heavy investments in Hitler's Germany. Selected excerpts:
1. Many of the great houses of American industry and finance had very dirty hands when it came to dealing with the Nazis. General Motors, IBM, Standard Oil and many others have had their sorted dealings with the enemies of the United States aired in public forums. ("Hitler's Angel" by D.A. Friedrichs)
2. After the seizures in late 1942 of five U.S. enterprises he managed on behalf of Nazi industrialist Fritz Thyssen, Prescott Bush, the grandfather of President George W. Bush, failed to divest himself of more than a dozen “enemy national” relationships that continued until as late as 1951, newly-discovered U.S. government documents reveal.
Bush’s partners in the secret web of Thyssen-controlled ventures included former New York Governor W. Averell Harriman and his younger brother, E. Roland Harriman. Their quarter-century of Nazi financial transactions, from 1924-1951, were conducted by the New York private banking firm, Brown Brothers Harriman.

3. In his book Trading with the Enemy: The Nazi American Money Plot, former New York Times reporter Charles Higham noted that
the US government sought to cover up the role played by Prescott Bush and many other leading US financiers and industrialists in supporting Hitler.
He wrote that the government feared that any attempt to prosecute these figures would only provoke a “public scandal” and “would have drastically affected public morale, caused widespread strikes and perhaps provoked mutinies in the armed services.” Moreover, Higham wrote, the government believed “their trial and imprisonment would have made it impossible for the corporate boards to help the American war effort.” (Trading with the Enemy—The Nazi American Money Plot 1933-1949, New York, 1983, p. xvii). The Roosevelt administration and powerful political figures in both parties did their best to smooth over Prescott Bush’s problems arising from his business dealings with the Nazis. He was installed as chairman of the National War Board, helping raise private funds for war-related charities. Shortly after receiving his $1.5 million payout from UBC, he ran successfully for the US Senate from Connecticut, a position he held until 1963. ("The Holocaust and the Bush family fortune" by Bill Vann, June 5, 2003)
That 1.5 million was Nazi money Fritz Thyssen was holding in United Banking Corp. in Argentina when he died in 1951. As a stockholder Prescott Bush received assets when the company was liquidated. The US Government had already compensated Bush and Harriman with 1.5 million each in the aftermath of WWII, for their Nazi-involved assets which had been seized.
4. From "Interview with a Prosecutor." John Loftus was a Justice Department Nazi war crimes prosecutor. He now heads the Florida Holocaust Museum.

How do you explain the fact that the mainstream media has simply refused to touch it? Loftus –
It's a complex story and the media hate that now in the age of the sound bite headline. It's also unpopular and frightening to most people, understandably. But the truth about this period of our history as a nation must come out and be dealt with. (The New Hampshire Gazette, Oct 24, 2003)
